ST. LOUIS - It was another Sunday morning of sometimes heated but always civil political debate on Hancock and Kelley on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023.John Hancock, Republican consultant, and Michael Kelley, Democrat consultant, discussed the following topics:A homeless camp on the lawn of St. Louis City Hall appears to be growing, and city officials have no plan to remove it with used toiletries in plain sight. One woman is 7 months pregnant. Her husband fears she may give birth in a tent on the lawn. The couple is protesting a lack of “coed” shelter space for married couples. Cash bail is officially against the law in Illinois starting Monday. Suspected felons will be freed “en masse” unless a state’s attorney can show a judge clear and convincing evidence that a suspect poses a threat to a person or community and/or the suspect is likely to flee.

ILLINOIS (NEXSTAR) – Most people know what their state symbols are, such as the state flag, bird, or even plant. There’s one thing most people can’t recall, and that’s their state song.It’s no surprise that Illinois is one of 48 states in the nation with a state song. While almost every state song contains the name of the state in the title (with some adding a word or two for variety), Illinois is not one of those states. Its state song is titled “Illinois,” and its lyrics were written by Civil War veteran Charles H. Chamberlin in 1893. Verses were set to the tune of a song named, “Baby Mine” by Archibald Johnson. Want to hear the song sung yourself? Here's a YouTube link to a virtual performance by the University of Illinois' Women's and Varsity Men's Glee Club. The song’s lyrics can be viewed below:By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois,O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois,Comes an echo on the breeze.Rustling through the leafy trees, and its mello...Broncos 14, Commanders 3: Live updates and highlights from the NFL Week 2 game

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen rebounded from a four-turnover, season-opening dud by throwing three touchdown passes and leading the Buffalo Bills to a 38-10 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.Linebackers Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard each intercepted Jimmy Garoppolo, and the Bills eased the lingering frustrations following a 22-16 overtime loss at the New York Jets on Monday and a week full of off-field distractions.Coach Sean McDermott had to address his leadership group after team owner Terry Pegula was accused of making racially insensitive comments in a lawsuit filed by a former NFL Media reporter. Pegula denied the allegations.And then on Wednesday, a Bills media reporter was overheard on an open microphone questioning receiver Stefon Diggs’ character. Diggs went to social media a day later by calling the comments “hurtful” and “insulting.”It was an especially uplifting performance from Allen, who enjoyed his 21st three-or-more touchdown outing after spending...Two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber will not pitch again for Red Sox this season

NEW YORK (AP) — Bartolo Colón wanted to say goodbye to the major leagues with the New York Mets and, of course, his home run was going to be celebrated.Four months past his 50th birthday and five years removed from his last big league pitch, Colón was honored by the Mets on Sunday when he announced his retirement after 21 big league seasons.“My first home was Cleveland,” Colón said through a translator during a pregame news conference, “But now I’m here with the Mets and I feel really comfortable here.”Colón went 247-188 with a 4.12 ERA and 2,535 strikeouts in 3,461 2/3 innings. A four-time All-Star, he started his big league career with Cleveland in 1997 and won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award with the Los Angeles Angels.He pitched for 11 big league teams but is repeatedly reminded of his batting feat. On May 7, 2006, Colón homered off the San Diego Padres’ James Shields, becoming at 42 years, 349 days the oldest player to his hit first major league homer.“The only thing I could think a...Arsenal gets a moment of quality from Trossard’s goal in drab 1-0 win at Everton in Premier League

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — The classic chant “1-0 to the Arsenal” was heard at Everton on Sunday as Gunners fans celebrated a Premier League win that was a throwback to its pragmatic style of the mid-1990s.A 69th-minute goal by substitute Leandro Trossard was a rare moment of quality in a game more typical of the Arsenal way celebrated in song before Arsene Wenger’s arrival as coach in 1996 began a new era of creativity.Trossard cleverly guided a first-time, left-footed shot into the net off the far post after Bukayo Saka cut back a pass he could take smoothly in his stride for the 1-0 win.It capped a standout week for the Belgium winger who scored a similarly impressive goal with his right foot Tuesday in his national team’s 5-0 rout of Estonia in a European Championship qualifying game.“I’ve been practicing all my life with both feet and it helps you in the game as an attacker,” Trossard said.Trossard had come on midway through the first half to replace Gabriel Martinelli who was i...Latest news
