In an email obtained by Splinter News, the father of Chairman Tom Ricketts wrote that he is tired of the “Political Correct, Multi- cultural and Diversity aspects of our culture.” In another email, 77-year-old Joe Ricketts wrote: “I think Islam is a cult and not a reli- gion.” And after reading a message forwarded to him that encour- aged people like Joe Ricketts to “BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!” and used slurs like “Nigger,” “Kike,” “Camel Jockey,” “Beaner” and “Gook,” Ricketts responded by writing: “I like this.” How these emails were obtained is unclear, but neither the elder Ricketts nor the Cubs have denied their authenticity.

Former federal prose- cutor Lori Lightfoot un- veiled her mayoral cam- paign’s first television ad Wednesday, calling herself an “independent prog- ressive” and shaming rivals for their ties to embattled Ald. Edward Burke. Lightfoot’s ad also marks the first commercial in this year’s Chicago mayor’s race to specifically address the political scandal that has rocked City Hall since FBI investigators raided Burke’s government offices in late November. The commercial also takes aim at candidates who have direct ties to the longtime alderman, who is facing a public corruption charge in federal court.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Margaret Thatcher famously said the problem with socialism is that you “always run out of other people’s money.” The trouble with resisting socialism is that until the money runs out, free- spending progressive policies are remarkably seductive. Their appeal comes from what econo- mists call lying prices: advertised prices that don’t reflect the full cost of what you’re buying. ... For many politicians, lying prices are actually a goal. Policies that set dishonest prices or fudge budgets can fuel the growth of government and lure voters leftward. Sen. Bernie Sanders and his socialist followers use such sleight of hand to obscure the vast costs of proposals for “free col- lege” and “Medicare for all.” Recent history demonstrates that the price of each new government program rarely tells the whole story. In the past decade taxpayers were charged $27.2 trillion for federal services that cost $35.6 trillion, adding more than $9 trillion to the national debt. Our tax bills told us that Uncle Sam’s good works were about 26 percent cheaper than their real cost. And Sam’s nose is growing thanks to rising deficit projections and the unfunded future costs of entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. Official projections put the present value of these two unfunded liabilities at $50 trillion over the next 75 years. Boston University economist Lau- rence Kotlikoff calculates that the total U.S. fiscal gap is more than four times that amount and that closing it would require a tax hike of more than 60 percent.

OP-ART JOE FOURNIER Chicago Tribune | Section 1 | Thursday, February 7, 2019 17 PERSPECTIVE

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE President hit a home run The vast majority of Americans who watched President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech liked it and agreed with him on the most important issues. CBS just released a scientific poll on it, and the results clearly show that President Trump hit a home run: 76 percent of Americans who watched his speech liked it, 72 percent liked his ideas on illegal im- migration, 71 percent agreed with him that we have a crisis at the border and 78 per- cent thought his second meeting with North Korea was a good idea. The vast majority of Americans agree with President Trump and what he is trying to get done for our country. I didn’t think that 76 percent of Americans could agree on anything! — Randy Rossi, Grayslake Media focused on wrong thing Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was one of president’s best outings. Rather than recognize that, the media focused on the antics of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and other Democrats showing disdain for his remarks. Granted, President Trump has made some significant gaffes since taking office, but that shouldn’t give Democrats or the media carte blanche to be imbecilic. — Dean Dranias, Plainfield Nancy Pelosi acted like a child My parents taught me that there is a difference between respecting a person and respecting the position that person holds.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP Committee ready to see NET results

Associated Press

The selection committee that chooses the NCAA tournament field is getting its first use of a new rankings formula that uses factors such as offensive and defensive efficiency when evaluating teams. The committee is holding orientation meetings this week in Indianapolis. The work includes using the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rankings to help choose the top 16 seeds to this point ahead of a Saturday reveal, which comes about a month from Selection Sunday on March 17. “The main thing about this tool is it’s current,” committee chairman Bernard Muir said Wednesday. “We want to remain current. Over the years, I’m sure future committees will continue to look at the tool. For right now, we feel like this is a great first start and we’ll see in the offseason whether we need to review the tool at all.” The NCAA announced in August that it DAVID SANTIAGO/MIAMI HERALD was moving to the more analytical NET Notre Dame’s Prentiss Hubb, left, looks to pass around Miami’s Chris Lykes during the first half of Wednesday night’s ACC game. incorporating factors such as game re- sults, strength of schedule, game location, MIAMI 62, NOTRE DAME 47 scoring margin and net efficiency at both ends of the court.

BULLS

BULLS NOTES ‘March Man’ Mirotic has plan Forward aims to finish strong, then turn focus to free agency

By K.C. Johnson | Chicago Tribune

For the 2017 offseason, the Bulls let Nikola Mirotic attempt to set his price in restricted free agency, but no offer sheet from another team materialized and he re-signed for two years and $27 million. That contract, which the Bulls traded to the Pelicans in February 2018, expires this summer. Mirotic will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time. “I’m very excited,” Mirotic said. “My focus now is to get healthy and finish strong this season. You know I’m March Man as well. March is coming.” That’s a playful nod to Mirotic’s reputa- tion for having big months for the Bulls just as the NCAA tournament action heated up. Speaking of postseason action, that’s also Mirotic’s focus until this offseason. “We have to step up, try to make the playoffs,” Mirotic said. “I’m going to try to make free agency simple, do what’s best for me and my family. We’re happy in New Orleans. In July, we’re going to take a deep breath and see what’s going on. “I want to be on a team that’s in the playoffs and can fight for a championship and is a good organization. My goal is to be a starter as well, but that’s not a priority. My first priority is my family.” Mirotic still hasn’t played at the United Center as a visitor. Last season’s trade occurred after the Pelicans made their lone visit. Mirotic missed a Sept. 30 exhibition with left Achilles tendinitis and was out Wednesday with a right calf strain that has sidelined him since he last played Jan. 23. “It feels more in the past now,” Mirotic said of his time with the Bulls. “It was great JOHN J.

The move, which also includes the Bulls sending out a protected 2023 second-round pick, is a sign management isn’t convinced it could land a player better than Porter in free agency. And with the cap rising, the Bulls still project to have roughly $19 million to work the edges of free agency to add more veterans. The Wizards deemed Porter expendable Tuesday, when they ruled out All-Star guard John Wall for 12 months after he ruptured his left Achilles tendon in a fall at home. That’s the same day Portis, who turned down a four-year extension offer last fall, reiterated his desire to remain a Bull. JOHN J.

The opening diamond lead went to East’s ace, and East shifted to the queen of spades. “That’s a good break for me,” Prickly City By Scott Stantis thought Louie, as he covered with his king. West won and continued with the 10 of spades, covered by the jack and ruffed by East. The nine of spades eventually became the setting trick. “I hate my life,” said Louie. Lucky Larry declared the same hand with the same defense. He gave the queen of spades a long look and decided that East would never have shifted to that card with a doubleton. Any spade losers would never go away, so the lead had to be a singleton. Larry did not cover the queen but allowed it to hold the trick instead. He won East’s club shift, drew trumps with the aid of a finesse, and conceded a trick to the ace of spades, making four. Nice play!
