Watching the “Los Angeles” Chargers!
I guess the cities are disconnected from “their” teams.
Maybe the low ratings are not because of politics but the lack of loyalty to the cities that have “invested” their taxpayers money and the fans that have an emotional connections.
Maybe the “circuses” are losing their appeal to the suckers?

Why do women think a man can’t handle an infant? Too many TV commercials that show men as fools?

… … What genius decided to put snaps on a baby's onesie? The same genius who thought a neck to toe zipper was a good idea? Idiots! (With apologies to all the idiots out there.)

Game Over?
It seems crazy to imagine the end of football. The game is so beloved, so profitable, and, frankly, such a cultural mirror that it feels like a permanent feature of American life. There are many franchises and schools with a deep interest in football’s continued prosperity. The game is a godsend for the entertainment industry. All of which is why if football ever vanishes, it will likely vanish from within—from the players and their parents. This past week a disturbing medical study was released showing brain damage in the brains of 110 of 111 deceased NFL players. Shortly afterward, a Ph.D.-candidate offensive lineman in Baltimore abruptly retired at age 26. Sports columnist Jason Gay explores what the report means for the future of the sport.

Certainly can’t ask men to risk their brains for a “game”. No matter how much money it makes!

Please Be Seated
If you buy an assigned seat at a theater, sports arena or concert venue, you get the seat you picked. But an assigned seat on an airline is radically different: Every so often, you don’t get it, even when you pay extra for it. Premium-seating fees guarantee nothing. It’s happened to families who see their children reassigned rows away from their parents. It’s happened to single travelers when airline computers automatically shuffle seats on full flights. It’s happened to political commentator Ann Coulter. But why? Airlines started placing price tags on particular seats in about 2010. But they didn’t really change their procedures at airport gates to match the marketing. We look at why passengers’ expectations often don’t match up with reality.

That Airline Seat You Paid for Isn’t Yours
Frustrated fliers discover that paying for a preferred seat on a flight guarantees them nothing

If you buy an assigned seat at a theater, sports or concert venue, you get the seat you picked. But an assigned seat on an airline is radically different: Every so often, you don’t get it, even when you pay extra for it. Premium-seating fees guarantee nothing.
It’s happened to families who see their children reassigned rows away from their parents. It’s happened to single travelers when airline computers automatically shuffle seats on full flights. And it famously happened to political commentator Ann Coulter, who erupted in a Twitter tirade earlier in July after Delta moved her from a preferred aisle seat to a window seat in the same extra-legroom row. Delta roared back, calling her out for attacking employees and the airline over what was at best a minor inconvenience.
Airlines started placing price tags on particular seats—letting fliers pay an ancillary fee for a preferred seat, often with extra legroom—in about 2010. But they didn’t really change their procedures at airport gates to match the marketing. That means passengers’ expectations often don’t match up with reality.

Sorry but this is all “barbara streisand”!
Nothing but pure “bait and switch”. Maybe if the Big Airlines weren’t “in bed” with Big Gooferment, the traveler would get a fair shake.
Sounds like an “unfair and unequal” contract. Doesn’t Judy Judy say that isn’t allowed. Much like the shrink-wrap, “license disclosure after purchase”, and “terms & conditions” in 3 point red font on red background in retail cars!
Sorry, that’s why flying is when you just have NO OTHER CHOICE. Bring on the self-driving cars.
Argh!

*** begin quote ***
John P. Donchess of Ohio weighed in: “The Senate health-care bill will pass, be reconciled with the House bill and be signed into law by President Trump. Anything less is political suicide for the Republicans. This entitlement is here to stay, despite what conservatives (including myself) would prefer. This bill advances the ball in the right direction and allows for further improvements to be made in the future.”
*** end quote ***
Once an “entitlement” is “given”, it’s HARD to claw it back.
“Conservatives” should have fought harder to prevent it in the first place. Medicare, Medicaid, and “welfare” are classic examples.
The road to hell is paved with entitlements!
The USA is broke; its bankruptcy will be the ultimate “claw back”.
Argh!

Another “barbara streisand” malfunction?
So, as the article says, everyone who played the game got screwed.
Argh!
And, of course, the evidence has been “fixed”!
I don’t understand.

My Hometown Is Gone
Loretta the Prole
June 17, 2017
*** begin quote ***
Hi! This is a blog post I threw together in response to the recent increase in refugee numbers by Trump’s State Department, in order to convey what it is like living in an Islamizing area. I gave a talk at a luncheon a few months ago that was basically relating my story of how my hometown has been Islamized by refugee resettlement. So it makes sense to do a blog post.
I’m from the Utica, NY area. Utica is the city nicknamed by the UN “the city that loves refugees!” Soon every American city will be a city that loves refugees! Get ready! So I would like to tell you what it is like living in an area where the major city is about 25% (or more) refugee, mainly Muslim
I was born in Utica, a “faded industrial town” along the Mohawk River/Erie Canal corridor, and lived there until I was 8-years-old when my family moved to a nearby small college town. I loved living in Utica because there were lots of families on my block, big Catholic families with lots of kids. You could yard-hop, checking out who was available for play. You could bike around the neighborhood. There were block parties in the summer. My grandmother lived up the street. Life was good.
*** and ***
Want to know why my application was rejected several times even though we qualified? Want to know why it was so difficult to get food stamps? The Department of Social Services in my area is swamped because of the refugees. 25% of the city are refugees. Virtually all of the refugees are on welfare. And when they apply for welfare, they don’t do so as an independent entity, as I did. They go through their refugee resettlement agency who deals with the Department of Social Services for them. So basically Americans get the short shrift, and refugees get taken care of. And that’s America. This is why so many Democrats voted for Trump. Americans are getting squeezed out by non-Americans at multiple levels.
*** and ***
The nice lady who asked me to give a talk a couple months ago on my hometown asked me if there were any refugees who were an “asset to the community”. I replied that they do not consider themselves part of your community, so if they are going to be an asset to any community, it is not going to be yours.
*** end quote ***
This is so frustrating.
“We, The Sheeple” don’t seem to understand that the USA is broke beyond understanding.
We can’t afford the welfare / warfare state. And, immigrants on welfare only makes the situation much worse.
Sad to say, but welfare has to end for EVERYBODY. And, we have to bring the girls and boy home.
Look at Switzerland as the exemplar of a peaceful nation secure in its borders and in its civil society.
Argh!

READER RESPONSE
Responding to yesterday’s question on Anthem’s decision to pull out of the health-insurance exchange in Ohio next year, … …
Harry Fisher of Connecticut weighed in: “Corporate America works full time and makes decisions on behalf of shareholders within the framework of the law. By dithering and working part time, Congress proves again that it is not qualified to manage the economy or any industry. It should repeal Obamacare in its entirety and leave the rest up to the states.”
*** end quote ***
But we pay the congress critters a lot more than full time wages. Why?
