    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 3-27-25: Not goodbye, but see you later

    No talkie talkie by me this morning about Chicago or Springfield or Washington government and politics. And no crabbing by me about some elected or appointed public official who’s now misbehaving him- or herself. I’m here this morning to talk about myself being 87-years-old and concerned, carefully concerned, because in the news business we’re always […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 3-20-25: Good luck, Beatriz, in the Scripps Spelling Bee

    In my opinion, the easiest and most comfortable news to report is good news. And I’ve just come across some very good news that was in the news last week. You may have heard it. But even if you have, and for sure if you have not, I’m here this morning to report it again. […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 3-13-25: I just can’t stop thinking about spring fever and baseball

    There are big and important stories in the news today about that endlessly awful war being waged by Russia and Ukraine. And about disease and starvation around the world. And about $10.00 for a dozen eggs here at home. But I just can’t stop thinking about spring fever and baseball. Our Chicago White Sox and […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 3-6-25: Elon Musk is behaving like he thinks he’s President of the United States

    He is quite a character, that Elon Musk, believing it’s true what the media says, that he is the richest person in the world. And now Elon Musk is behaving like he thinks he’s President of the United States. And I believe it’s fair for me to say that because I’ve been listening to Mr. […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 2-27-25: The news about Walgreens closing stores in Chicago is bad news

    The news about Walgreens closing stores in Chicago is bad news, and day by day it’s getting worse. The latest being that in the next few weeks, five Walgreens in Chicago neighborhoods will be closing their doors, locking them closed, and covering up their windows, while having no plans to unlock the doors or uncover […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 2-13-25: The Senators and the President are playing the same old money games

    If you’re not watching the Senate hearings about President Trump’s choices for his Cabinet, you’re not missing much that in my opinion is worth watching. Unless what you want to see are a few distinguished and undistinguished members of the Senate making long-winded speeches as if they’re still campaigning for or against Donald Trump moving […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 2-6-25: What we need right now is the politicians, newspapers and TV to shut up

    The public and often obscene arguments over President Trump’s decisions to fire FBI agents and prosecutors in the Department of Justice are being heard all around, everywhere, along with the expensive and damaging tariffs he says he’s planning against Mexico and Canada. And also his threatening speeches about our most committed allies around the world. […]

    Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 1-30-25: President Trump is changing the ways we are living our lives

    We can like or dislike our second time President Donald J. Trump. But we better, we all better, listen and pay attention to everything he says, because he’s changing the ways we are living our lives, most dramatically changing the way he’s dealing with our immigration crisis. President Trump is dispatching federal agents, mostly armed […]
