I was onto the Billy, but was thinking Billy Graham and couldn't see how that made any sense.

I want more now!

Dangit, couldn't click that one in. Well done - ran through quite a few Billys and didn't get to that one, @Canuck skunked me again. By the way, we U.S. citizens do not all know each other (or everyone in previous generations), so "fellow American" doesn't narrow it down too much. 🫨

One of our ace sleuths @JimInOz nailed it! Evangelist Billy Sunday, the guy who “couldn’t tear Chicago down” ( according to the song), is indeed the chap in the rebus. Looks like he mighta been a prize fighter in a previous career, don’t he? Anyway, very well done!👍

@Canuck probably knows the postition this guy holds, his name, and where he lives, since he is also Canadian. 😝

Hint… it’s not Jack Daniels! 🤦

Anybody other than a Canadian who wants a crack at this is welcome. For the time being, this Canadian is

Mayor Donald Collins of Canada’s smallest town, Tilt Cove.

This is the only image I could source from the interwebs.

A town so small, that even their mayors aren’t fully formed!

May, & ore - Mayor
Donald duck, & a Tom Collins cocktail

Now if only you had chosen Mayor Chad Giles of Come-by-Chance, Newfoundland, I might’a got that one!

Well, that third clue is lorries not trucks, but I'll give you credit anyway since "fleet" was correct. 😒

Thought that one would take longer... I am making 'em too easy - pendulum must swing the other way.

The last card in the picture is not the flop or the turn. Silver star for now.😵‍💫

A bit early in the year for this one, but I ran across it looking for an earlier one in the franchise.
