https://21southnews.com/2017/04/21/who-is-e...sorericclanton/ Reddit lies, lol. He's NOT a professor at SF State. He got his MA there. He's an adjunct professor at Diablo State. At any rate, God help anyone with social media in the future. These guys are contacting all the universities he studied at, going through his LinkedIn, just hope that nobody gets on the wrong side of those alt-righters. One of the student from DiabloValley College says that “He notice, Professor Clanton is a dislike Donal Trump and he would involve 2016 Election result protests in Bekeley or San Francisco elsewhere, but couldn’t confirmed. We call again to DVC and asking Professor but no one give answer and refuse to further question. And some people call DVC but they do not respond about Professor Clanton to anyone.

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/polit...are-compromise/ House Republicans have a "new" plan to make your healthcare even worse In exchange for that conservative concession (opting out of "community rating," which would wipe out the protections for preexisting conditions), the amendment would reinstate the Essential Health Benefits that were already taken out of the bill ― though, again, states could waive those provisions as well if they were able to show that doing so would lower premiums, increase the number of people insured, or "advance another benefit to the public interest in the state." Gee, I wonder what, say, Scott Walker or Rick Scott will make of that. In short, in order to pass a bill that failed because it was too harsh and people hated it, the House is proposing a bill that is even harsher and that more people will hate even more. But, once again, to treat this proposal as an actual healthcare proposal is to make the same mistake all over again. The previous dead fish was actually a tax-cut bill. This one is designed to give the president* something—anything!—he can call a "win." It doesn't matter that this latest attempt has no chance of becoming law; there is no chance of its ever passing the Senate. Give the president* a win. Give him something he can call a win. Give him something that they will call a win on his favorite television programs. Thus is the entire business of the American republic reduced to the late Kim Jong-il's golf score (38 under par 34, including 5 aces, look it up!!!). The next general congressional recess is right around Memorial Day. Start lining up for those town halls today. Avoid the rush.

Who would have predicted a month or two ago the Bulls and Blackhawks would be reversing roles in 1 vs. 8 seed battles? Wacky.

The one protection United has is being an oligopoly, essentially....along with their alliance partners. There's no longer significant differentiation in pricing among the three major carrier groups. It's not like Chipotle or Wells Fargo, where customers have choices numbering in the teens or hundreds in the case of restaurants. The test will be when customers are booking at kayak and travelocity and expedia and orbitz and the United Flights are coming up $25-50 USD cheaper...how many are going to choose that more expensive option in reaction to this situation? We've seen lots of comments here in China, and lots of "pledges" about never flying United again after this situation, let's see what happens when the rubber hits the road in terms of economic vs. social conscience-based decision-making.

Joe Lieberman, the one that's easiest to hate. But yeah, this whole Clinton/Perez wing vs. Sanders/Ellison split still hasn't been resolved. It might not happen until the 2020 presidential election, depending on who the eventual nominee is for the Dems.

The precedents of outspending markets exist for Albert Belle, Joe Borchard, Viciedo and Abreu (although every MLB team wasn't looking 1B that off-season, including most of the big spenders). Dunn and Robertson would be other examples for DH's and relievers. It does make sense with our long history with Cuban players, not to mention the presence of Abreu, Moncada and even Rodon's family background. That said, like MOST of the time we've been excited about acquiring a player or a potential trade, will only believe it when I see it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 07:11 PM) I thought we were talking about the "media"? (Is Jeff Sessions media now?) But as far your Jeff Sessions tangent, I'd be more upset with Hillary Clinton "referring" to black people as super predators (and refusing to apologize for it (and forcing her people to remove the BLM person who posed the "question)") then I would be upset about Jeff Sessions inferring a strategic state (that's 3,000 miles away from the mainland) are less American. (Also, why is their "average net worth" relevant to your tangent?) Do you only judge people based off of their "money"? Are you implying that "Hawaiians" are more American than other American groups because they have a higher average net worth? If we're going by the original interpretations of the US Constitution, that's exactly how the Founding Fathers viewed this argument (based on property rights/net worth wasn't even a real thing back then). For a US senator to believe Alaskans and Hawaiians are lesser because they're not part of the contiguous US is pretty bizarre. https://twitter.com/maziehirono/status/8552...n.d8c8a26f.html Not to mention he voted yea for the judge (Watson) he's now criticizing. As far as Hillary Clinton goes, I never supported her and won't defend her. That said, it was a different time, where Democrats had their backs against the wall because of the tactics that Republicans used consistently throughout the 80's and early 90's to argue they were "soft" on crime. You are too young to remember, but watch the ads the Bush campaign ran against Mike Dukakis featuring a felon named Willie Horton who was furloughed and killed again after being released. Clinton was simply being a typical politician of that time period, and picking on easy targets (the poor/minorities) who had no other choice but to vote for Democrats. (It can also be noted that comments like "super predator" coming back into the public eye are one of the many factors that suppressed the African-American vote numbers for Clinton in 2016, compared to Obama in 2008 and 2012). It's the same problem that starts happening when we judge Jackson, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc., by the current lens rather than the context of the times they were operating in. In the same way, Sessions' comments that disqualified him 30 years ago are no-longer a deal breaker in this current political climate. NEVERTHELESS, Donald Trump and his defenders are going to learn that the electorate really doesn't care at all about what Obama or Hillary Clinton did or didn't do at this point in time. So far, they're 0 for 100 days on crafting any legislation that has improved the lives of everyday middle class Americans. We won't know for another 10-20 years, but the regulations that Trump is wiping out are increasing negative externalities in the environment which we can't even begin to quantify in terms of the cost trade off with attempting to bring back obsolete jobs to the economy.

Jason Vargas is off to a pretty amazing start, but doubt that holds up... Duffy has a 1.38 ERA at the moment as well. That said, as some have commented, the odds of Duffy staying in the fold have increased dramatically with his new contract. The Royals are kind of stuck in the middle, with big deals for Kennedy, Gordon, Soria, Salvy Perez, etc., on the books when for a long time it looked like they would completely rebuild. Not sure it wouldn't have been better to deal Perez at peak value before he started wearing down, but teams that have won a World Series tend to hold onto those players (see Jose Contreras) a lot longer out of sentimental value to the fans. And of course Perez is arguably the 2nd or 3rd best catcher in baseball (overall) depending on your feelings about Mr. Sanchez.

Was about to have a heart attack thinking Kopech got roughed up like that. Oops, didn't notice that game was already over with the DH. Apparently it wasn't as bad as the numbers looked, with some defensive miscues contributing. Still some control issues. And for those saying we should have a Top 3-5 system ranking, it's hard to believe we're Top 10 with how ridiculously bad that Birmingham everyday line-up is.

The "left wing" media has apologized twice now for "lies" or misleading pictures/articles. (Obviously, to say there was an "intention" to lie here about the Patriots' attendance at the WH is a bit much, as there CERTAINLY were fewer players, which are pretty much the MAIN thing that the majority of people care about, as opposed to political stances of equipment men and towel boys.) One was the MLK Bust (supposedly being removed when it was just in a different location in the Oval) and now this. When, if ever, has the right wing media ever apologized, clarified or retracted a story in the last 18-24 months? And how, for example, can Jeff Sessions impartially serve as Attorney General when he clearly believes that Hawaiian islanders are somehow lesser Americans? It would probably shock him to learn that the average net worth of those living in Hawaii is probably double or triple that of the average Alabaman.

The AHCA had 17% approval numbers...before it was gutted. ObamaCare ranged in the mid 40's. No way they have a public vote that ends in another Trump repudiation.

What is the lie again? All the media outlets already had the full list of players not seen in any of the photos 24 hours ago. Reports covered all the no name players who were mentioned specifically by Trump, the Amendola "mistake" and the rewriting of what actuallly happened in the game based on who was actually there in attendance to receive praise.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/20/asia/south-k...nson/index.html Mockery and anger from South Koreans over Vinson "bluffing" by Trump admin "I understand strategic ambiguity for military authorities. However, it's different (for a) political leader," Yang Moo-jin, of the University of North Korean Studies, told CNN. "Trump, (Vice President Mike) Pence and (Secretary of Defense James) Mattis all used this to raise tension and pressure North Korea. Strong nations' power comes from transparency, not the opposite. "How does the US expect South Koreans to trust the US when its leader bluffs and exaggerates? South Koreans' feelings were hurt considerably by remarks by the leader of a close ally." And as the country prepares to vote for a new president on May 9, the claim could have far-reaching implications for the two countries' relations. "What Mr. Trump said was very important for the national security of South Korea," Presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo told the Wall Street Journal. "If that was a lie, then during Trump's term, South Korea will not trust whatever Trump says,"​ said Hong, who is currently trailing in the polls.

Victims of neo-Nazi trolling in Whitefish, Mont., strike back in court (against Richard Spencer's mother) the https://www.yahoo.com/news/victims-neo-nazi...-200303427.html Though Anglin himself never engaged directly with Gersh, the SPLC argues that he is responsible for the 700-plus harassing emails, tweets, Facebook posts, voicemails and other threatening messages received by Gersh, her husband, and even her 12-year-old son, causing them to fear for their lives. The complaint accuses Anglin of various torts, including intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. “We didn’t know if they would come after us … [we] still don’t,” Gersh told reporters Tuesday, choking back tears as she described the barrage of threats she and her family have received, including countless references to the Holocaust and gas chambers. “Once I answered the phone and all I heard were gunshots,” she said. “I have never been so scared in my entire life.” The troll storm may have subsided slightly, but the impact on Gersh and her family continues. Search “Tanya Gersh” in Google images and the first result is a photoshopped picture of Gersh with a yellow star of David on her forehead and the words “Filthy Juden” written in big bold letters across the bottom. Gersh said the threats have forced her to stop working as a real estate agent for fear of putting her clients at risk. She now goes to trauma therapy twice a week and is experiencing anxiety-induced medical issues. “Most importantly, I’m never feeling safe,” she said. “This went so far beyond harassment, this was terrorism.”
