An elite volunteer corps of therapy dogs is being dispatched to soothe federal, state, and city law enforcement agencies waiting to handle any emergencies that occur during the Democratic National Convention.

“It's finally our time,” the first lady said. “The Democratic National Convention my husband fought so hard to bring to Chicago has become a huge celebration of women!”

Former MAGA man Michael Cohen was the unintended star of a fundraiser for Dem U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin at Harry Caray's Tavern at Navy Pier Tuesday night.

Retired Chicago Fire Captain Paul McLaughlin tells Sneed the trouble really started that night in August of 1968 “when Wallace threw a punch at my father, Fifth District Police Commander Paul McLaughlin.”

What Rhonda Hiser discovered behind a bookcase at the Museum of Southern History in Florida was an 1865 American presentation flag that she now believes was draped over the coffin of assassinated President Abraham Lincoln on the long train trip back to Springfield for his burial.

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas is known for her eye-popping colorful jackets and constantly in-motion devotion to exercise — but she wants taxpayers to know about tax refunds and exemptions they are entitled to claim. “Trust me,” she tells Sneed. “No easy job in returning this money.”

Long forgotten, the chewing-tobacco stained ball from the forever tainted 1919 World Series was found in 2022, hidden in a time capsule at the Tribune Tower. Grant DePorter of Harry Caray's Restaurants thinks returning it could put today's White Sox back in the game.

A sister and brother spent almost two years in an Alton orphanage before they were reunited with their parents. “The bond we formed when we were alone, in a strange country, without our parents, was never broken,” Grace Dickler said after her brother's recent death.

Voters once again failed to elect a highly qualified woman as president of the United States — in favor of a narcissistic, crude, rude, clown-car driver of a candidate. And I was left with more questions without answers, including will I ever see a woman in the Oval Office?

Sneed could swear she hears the faint sound of chiseling in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. Is it Trump hammering out plans to realize his childhood dream of being installed on Mount Rushmore?
