If you've spent any amount of time watching television in Chicago, one iconic commercial lives rent free in your head. ABC7 has learned it is closing by the end of the month after nearly 80 years in business. That means the commercial, which has been running nearly unchanged since the 1980s, is also joining the scrap heap of Chicago television history.

An Indiana woman, whom cops described as a “terrorist,” has been arrested after she allegedly plowed her car into what she thought was a Jewish school.

The FBI has launched an investigation into the campaign of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, focusing on allegations of illegal campaign contributions. This is the second time Adams’ campaign has faced scrutiny for funneling donations through straw donors. On Thursday, the FBI searched the home of Brianna Suggs, Adams’ chief fundraiser, as part of the investigation. The search warrant suggests that the campaign may have received illegal foreign campaign contributions from the Turkish government and Turkish nationals, disguised as donations from US donors who had not actually given their own money. In July, six men were indicted in Manhattan...

Have a lot of stuff I need to do around the house and in the garage. I was already struggling with it getting dark early, but the time change has made it worse. I have to be up around 7:30am for work. It's dark now by 6pm and I seem to be significantly affected by that these days (in my mid-50s). I potentially have six hours every evening after work before I have to hit the sack where I could get a lot done, but as soon as it gets dark, I'm zonked. I end up puttering in front of...

State Representative Barbara Freiberg (R) is seeking re-election in the House of Representatives and her opponent in the runoff is not your standard Democrat. Freiberg says she’s running as a somewhat moderate Republican while her Democrat opponent, Steve Myers, says he’s a conservative. “This makes it one of the most interesting races in the state actually,” said Myers on Monday. Myers has run for other positions in the past like mayor and judge, only he ran in those races as a Republican. This time, he says he’s switching parties as part of his strategy. “The labels mean absolutely nothing. It...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Monday address that it is “not the right time for elections” in Ukraine as the end of his five-year term approaches. Zelensky argued in his Monday video address that Ukraine should not have to deal with elections as it continues to attempt to fend off Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022. He previously had not ruled out Ukraine holding a presidential contest next year, though elections are currently suspended in the country under martial law. And finally, the waves of any politically divisive things must stop,” he said Monday. “We must realize...

The Biden administration refused to sell American weapons to Israel unless it provided guarantees the guns would not be given to civilians living in the West Bank, the Washington Free Beacon is exclusively reporting. The Jewish state urgently requested the United States sell it thousands of M-16 rifles following the Hamas terror group's Oct. 7 slaughter of more than 1,400 unarmed Israeli citizens. But the Biden administration would not approve the sale until Israel guaranteed the critical weapons would not reach civilian outposts in the West Bank, which the Biden administration and its Democratic allies view as occupied territory. The...

Space has become the new theater of war after Israel shot down a rocket soaring 'outside of Earth's atmosphere.' The Israel Defense (IDF) revealed last week that its Arrow missile defense system took down an 'aerial threat' allegedly fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. While details are sparse, the accepted boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space is 62 miles above the surface, known as the Kármán line. IDF said the Arrow intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea fired towards its territory after the rocket traveled nearly 1,000 miles from Yemen. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed it...

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds touted Ron DeSantis’ accomplishments as governor of Florida as she endorsed him Monday — and said she believes he will be able to win the 2024 general election, while Donald Trump cannot. “I believe he can’t win,” Reynolds said of Trump, “and I believe that Ron can.” “And that’s a big reason I got behind him,” Reynolds told NBC News in a joint interview with DeSantis.

The White House readouts from both calls are largely identical and include the same talking points that Washington has been reiterating since the start of the war one month ago. In both calls Harris stressed the administration’s commitment to increasing humanitarian aid for Gaza, protecting civilian lives as Israel advances in its war against Hamas, rejecting calls from some in Israel to forcibly displace Palestinians and working toward a two-state solution.

A Los Angeles homeowner exchanged gunfire with a pair of would-be robbers in a terrifying incident that was captured on home surveillance video Saturday evening. The homeowner, who did not want his identity released, had just pulled into his gated driveway and was walking to the front door when the masked robbers jumped over a wall. Video shows one robber charging at the man with a gun as he goes to open his front door. The homeowner immediately drops his keys and a beverage, pulls out a concealed handgun and opens fire on the intruders, who run away while returning...

Electric vehicles hit another sales record—but manufacturers are losing money. Experts blame government interference in the free market. Though electric vehicles hit another sales record, high production costs and a dwindling new customer base have spawned increasing corporate losses, forcing electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to scale back on their plans to expand the market. Some experts believe these problems are a result of government interference in the business of industrial policy. The Oct. 12 report from Kelley Blue Book revealed that sales of electric vehicles hit another record in the third quarter of 2023, accelerating past 300,000 batter-powered vehicles "for...

Disney World may have earned the moniker 'the happiest place on earth' - but visitors and employees alike aren't feeling the magic after witnessing people defecating and vomiting in line. The r/WaltDisneyWorld subreddit is not just a place for fanatics to come together. It fields plenty of complaints about the park's unsanitary conditions, which are corroborated by past and current 'cast members.' 'I am in the queue for Rise of the Resistance - someone let their kid take a dump on the floor and then they just walked out and left it - WTF?' a user wrote in a thread...

Joe Biden's administration appears to be watering down its denial of allegations the president met Burisma executives at a cozy DC dinner with his son Hunter. The White House initially vehemently denied rumors that Biden was present at a Cafe Milano meeting between Hunter and Ukrainian oil tsar Vadym Pozharskyi in April 2015. But after Hunter's former Burisma Holdings partner Devon Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee in July that Pozharskyi did dine with the president, the government changed course on its version of events. In October 2021, when asked by Politico whether the White House could rule out...
