I’ll betcha Buddy refloated it in his spare time.
Sounds fishy.
“Must’ve sunk on the way to Montana......”
Don’t quit your day job
Yup. Or that piece of the Photoshop does.
Could be aliens, though. It would certainly explain that weird-looking Chicago mayor...
Used to be, when some nondescript uknown wanna be tourist trap wanted nationwide publicity, they would suddenly be haunted with ghosts of long-dead inhabitants. Now I suppose ghosts are rather blasé, so its aliens and Russians who bring in some meager tourism.
I can’t decide whether this is hogwash or mule-muffins...
No, Biden signed a Presidential Order cancelling it this year.
Something about helping the economy, reducing the debt, or sequestering carbon dioxide, if I remember correctly.

No, Biden signed a Presidential Order cancelling it this year.
And don't forget Brandon signed A (Presidential) Proclamation on Transgender Day Of Visibility, 2021.
The Proclamation makes everyday a Transgender Day of Visibility. /sarc
If it isn’t an April Fools prank, it’s an absurdly badly written article. Endlessly chanting SOVIET, SOVIET, SOVIET and never offering a jot of evidence what makes them think it was Russian (and conveniently posting an image so free of details that it scarcely could be used to make a positive ID).
Russians must be a lot smaller than I thought.
Ok... After enlarging the photo about sixteen times, I believe this thing is a mobile, possibly inflatable, pump platform, not a submarine and CERTAINLY not Russian.
The thing on top that could be mistaken for a sub conning tower is a pump engine, running at time of photo, and liquid is being pumped into the scream. There is a mooring line at the “stern” going toward the break in the scrub brush on the right side of the photo. Toward the bow is a round port that can be opened to fill an internal tank with liquid, waste, etc. It could probably also be used to siphon water from the stream and pump it through a hose for irrigation.
Not a submarine, and almost certainly not Russian. These guys just want a tiny bit of public fame....
The website, riverbender.com is the only news outlet that I can find with anything about the sub.
This link is to an article about another submarine found in an Illinois river (in 1915):

"The “Foolkiller” was so called because it first made its appearance shortly after the Chicago fire, in the days when submarines were unheard of"
An article today - April Fool's Day - about a submarine found in an Illinois river, which happens to sound similar to another submarine - named Foolkiller - found in an Illinois river.
Ouch! Now you have me worried about other articles.
Babylon Bee, New York Times, April 1st, maybe it doesn’t even matter anymore.
Illegal immigrants?
Did they find Putin’s shoe inside?
I find these all the time
April ( Nuclear) Fuels Day!
Hook, line, and (its kitchen’s) sunk.
Paisa Creek, named after the so-called Piasa Bird, a native American cliff painting, probably of Underwater Panther, a common element in eastern Native mythology.
“somewhat like a man’s, a body Covered with scales, and so Long A tail that it winds all around the Body, passing above the head and going back between the legs, ending in a Fish’s tail. Green, red, and black are the three Colors composing the Picture. Moreover, these 2 monsters are so well painted that we cannot believe that any savage is their author; for good painters in france would find it difficult to reach that place Conveniently to paint them. Here is approximately The shape of these monsters, As we have faithfully Copied It.”
The pictograph was seen subsequently by LaSalle and other French explorers in the 17th century after which the record is silent for a hundred years. Then additional sightings are reported in the early 19th century, and the earliest-known artist’s sketch was made in 1825 by William Dennis. He labeled his creation the “Flying Dragon.””
In Illinois when I was a kid, teenage boys would get girls to make out with them by driving them down to the levee “to watch the submarine races.”
Everyone to get from street!
