Hampton VA (Newport News) Election Board chairman calls the Sec of Defense the n-word and threatens a lynching after getting angry the military excising white nationalists. He refuses to resign, so GOP kicked him out of the party and has asked a judge to remove him.

France - the opposite of the US with Boomers preferring liberalism and younger generations skew toward fascists.

That’s wild but I see a lot of jointer generations skewing closer to the GQP these days, especially in rural/red parts of the country.

In Russia, landmines are nested inside of landmines. And they're all on random timers to maximize havoc.

Things not going so good around DC. In addition to Pelosi, cabinet officials, congressmen, and the mayor it seems schools are having issues too. Glad I'm still playing it cautiously.

I am not sure where you live or how big the house is but I’m sure it will go at least $50k over.

You’re about to get a very big bag of cash. Probably $200k over asking is my guess.

Go Bears!!!

[SB] Bears fall behind 5-0 to Utah after two innings, claw back to tie it in the fifth, win it in the top of the 8th with two runs, the last coming from pitcher Sona Halajian. Halajian pitched the bottom of the 8th for a complete game. It was arguably the shakiest game for Cal's ace pitcher, but a win is a win. The softball team is loaded with native Californians, with all but 4 being from the Golden State.

[WTEN] Visiting #9 Cal had to switch venues to indoors after high winds. Then, Cal fell behind 0-2 to Wazzu. They rallied to tie 2-2, fell behind 2-3 and then won two straight do-or-die matches.

QB Dwayne Haskins has died. He was the 15th overall pick in the 2019 draft. He was struck by a car. He was competing to be the Steeler's starting QB this year.

Sean Manaea was lights out. Seven innings of no hit ball and 1 BB. 7ks. Too soon?

Ruf. I am quite confident that I'm a faster runner than him. Click on this link and then choose the video "Austin Slater's Walk-off double"

Counting to seven is hard. I set them up in batches way in advance. I guess I lost track. 🤷‍♂️
