    Will the left now attack Major League Baseball players for not kneeling during the American national anthem? They already say that baseball is a "white sport". It's a "white man's game". What will happen now?

    Today is my birthday, I thought everyone should know since I have an inflated view of myself! Now all together: Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear 47... Happy Birthday to YOUU! And may He Return Soon!!! Indeed, Maranatha, may He return soon! But sadly, today was not the Father's Will that He return. But He will some day! For now though, back to the grind of work, school, taxes, voting Democrats out of office and fighting the scourge of Islamic terror around the world. Or maybe we can focus on that tomorrow, and for now...

    Jerry Lewis certainly got in the last laugh when it came to his strained relationship with his children. According to his Last Will and Testament, provided to PEOPLE by The Blast, the funnyman emphatically cut out all six children he had with his first wife Patti Palmer — meaning they will [inherit] nothing.

Los Angeles Times reporter Lindsey Thiry tweeted a photo at the time of kickoff, which showed thousands of open seats. In fact, most sections in the photo have more empty seats than fans.
  • Foreign rocket engines for North Korea: Why? (somewhat tinfoil-ish)

    The Slovak Spectator ^ | 22. Sep 2017 | Juraj Mesík
    Foreign rocket engines for North Korea: Why? For Russia, the path to a weakened China could be through a major nuclear accident in North Korea. In early August 2017, German rocket scientist Robert Schmucker published in the Deutsche Welle his opinion that North Korea´s ballistic missiles program can only exist due to transfers of Russian and Soviet rocket engines and components. Schmucker stopped short of accusing Moscow of providing Pyongyang with technology intentionally. Five days later, the New York Times published an article linking North Korea missiles to Ukrainian rocket engines. The president of Ukraine immediately issued orders to investigate...

    Hour after excruciating hour, Mexicans were transfixed by dramatic efforts to reach a young girl thought buried in the rubble of a school destroyed by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. She reportedly wiggled her fingers, told rescuers her name and said there were others trapped near her. Rescue workers called for tubes, pipes and other tools to reach her.

    I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walks over to me and asks, "What brings you in today?" I looked at her, and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator.” She didn't quite know how to respond. Am I getting to be that age? I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So I'm wearing my garage door opener. I was thinking about old age and decided that...

    Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg was enriched by Russia even as he was engaging in an effort to affect the election. I think we ought to demand an open ended investigation of Facebook and its founder for collusion and allowing RUSSIA to influence our thinking.

    STATESVILLE, N.C. (WBTV) – Two men were arrested in Iredell County Tuesday after police say one of them shot at passing vehicles while the two were burning a lawnmower and car in their front yard. Deputies were called to a home on the 800 block of Blackwelder Road after someone reported shots being fired at passing motorists. Once on scene, law enforcement found 30-year-old Bobby Lee Messer Jr. and 62-year-old Jimmy Carson Messer in the yard drinking beer. According to the report, the duo was watching a lawnmower and vehicle “fully engulfed in flames burn.” Bobby Messer, they said, admitted...

    Former President Barack Obama delivered a speech at an event held by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Wednesday in New York City. Without naming him, Obama said the threat of President Trump "inflicting real human suffering" requires people like him to "mobilize every couple months" to prevent it. FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: For the first time, more than 90% of Americans know the security of health insurance. Paying more for insurance, or being denied insurance because of a preexisting condition or because you are a woman – that’s not a thing anymore. We got rid of that. And...

    The irony of this is sweet. Consider it for just a moment, will you? In America leftists are currently fighting to end Freedom of Speech, based on the grounds that “hate speech” is not free speech. In Europe, free speech does not exist… just like the leftists want. So a leftist American woman travels abroad, to Denmark and walks into a bar. At this point she notices that the man seated across from her is wearing a #MAGA hat which “triggers” the woman and sends her into a rage. As the woman’s anger escalates, one of the other patrons begins...

    According to a new national Politico/Morning Consult survey, 2016 election buyers' remorse is more prevalent among Hillary Clinton's voters than those who cast ballots for President Trump. "Among Clinton voters, 13 percent say they would either vote for a different candidate or not vote at all," the survey finds, while that number among Trump backers is four points lower. (snip) The more she talks, the less popular she becomes. It's not necessarily all that surprising that there would be more agita and recriminations on the losing side of a major campaign, but we've been told endlessly that Trump is so...

    Climate Change. Officials from the former Obama White House are starting to speak out against the corrupt administration now that it is safe to come forward. It’s about time! The most recent official to come forward is Steven Koonin, the former Undersecretary of the Department of Energy. He is accusing President Obama of fabricating scientific evidence proving “climate change”. “What you saw coming out of the press releases about climate data, climate analysis, was, I’d say, misleading, sometimes just wrong,” Koonin told the Wall Street Journal. According to Koonin, multiple departments responsible for environmental science either misrepresented data or completely...

    A defector from North Korea has described the shocking brutality she witnessed from inside Kim Jong-un’s regime. Hee Yeon Lim described how the North Korean leader ordered executions of anyone who dared to cross him and alleged that he picks teenage girls to become his sex slaves. The daughter of an army colonel, Hee Yeon, 26, lived a privileged life in North Korean capital Pyongyang, where she was exposed to Jong-un’s reign of terror. Describing one occasion she saw 11 musicians brutally executed for making a pornographic video, she told The Mirror: “We were ordered to leave our classes by...
