Swoosh there goes NIKE sliding down the slippery suicidal corporate slope. There is some serious animosity at the grassroot level.

WILL BETO O'ROURKE BEAT TED CRUZ? LATEST POLLS, FUNDRAISING SUGGEST DEMOCRAT CAN PULL OFF TEXAS UPSET
https://www.newsweek.com/beto-orourke-ted-cruz-polls-1093237
A big time battle in the longhorn state between the political pole opposites. The trickle down versus open borders, not pretty or good for the country no matter who wins?

Knix get a chance to see and evaluate the youths and get rid of some of the anchorage uncle Phil brought in.

A candidate who runs on higher taxes can expect to lose in the US. A matter of fact. Republicans have been pushing the immoral lower taxes plank from since the trickle down was conceived by Milton Friedman. Even after the disastrous Bush economies went down in flames.

Mays was the best 5 tool and also a defensive beast. His numbers are somewhat hurt playing in Candlestick. But he checked all the boxes.

Is anyone ready to label Frankie a bust and think the knix should move-on, limited offensive skills and not good at defending the three? Right now I keep Burke and EM.

Diva WRs seldom lead to titles. I would have traded OBJ for at least a one.

Defending the moderate rebels in Libya and Syria. On the plus side he did break away from the trickle downers and helped save affordable health.

Huh, run that back again. Authors really hate the present immigration policy. Spreading the look inward self-guilt. If the US is such a terrible guilt ridden place governed by a madman just stay out and develop your own societies.

Homerism in NYC. How is Jacob Degrom a Cy Younger? Cherry pick the ERA and exclude wins. Thor on the Mets is 9-3 JD is 8-8. Every media outlet is pushing JD. Two pitchers with teams in pennant drives have won 15. 25 pitchers in the NL have won more than 8.

Big oil wants the government to protect it from climate change.
No refineries, no oil wells, an unprotected coastline, something to do with climate change?

Yeah. We saw this when you first posted it.
Trump takes credit for Obama and Shulkin’s work, campaigned off it, though he’s still in the first half of his first term, and is just getting around to removing ethical employees so his friends and members can start gutting the VA.

Remember what the last real president did for Veterans. This fake one has now loosed the rats and vultures that will kill and eat this vital institution.
I have been using VA facilities since the mid-nineties and they were never worse than under BHO. A era of complete cynical disrespect for the veteran ensued. Appeals usually took forever and there was no way to track progress. It has been streamlined and modernized since Trump took office. With Shinseki and Shulkin, two useless hacks, being forced out. Have to be careful though with trickle downers in power.
