    She's not anti semitic, she is critical of Israeli conduct. What's wrong with that? for instance, Israel just "annexed" Golan Heights, which is part of Syria, are building thousands of homes on Palestinian land, and are now proposing annexing that land. Same as Putin "annexing" Crimea. This is what she's critical of: I agree with her. This proposed law is wrong. Its embarrassing for Jews. And it gives ammunition to the real antisemites. Jews get special treatment. Jews control Congress. For what it's worth, I'm Jewish. There's more than enough real, vile, anti semitism in this world, no need to make up phoney anti semitism for political gain. That just makes it worse.

  7. I have a feeling that The Rise of skywalker will have a double meaning. And I think it will relate to the creation of the Skywalker’s in the first place so the rise will be about Anakin and then also about Rey. She’s a creation of Palps. And maybe her “parents” were nobodies in the same way anakin’s mother was a nobody. But his “father” was Palps And I think Rey was created by Palps too maybe with Skywalker DNA. Rian wanted to subvert the idea of the Skywalkers being special. But I don’t think that works in the saga. The reason the Skywalkers are special is because they were created by the force itself. Undermining that just to be different was a huge mistake by Rian.

    Hey the white supremacists flock to conservative parties, it is a worthwhile debate to ask why that is and what it is that the conservative parties are doing to make these ignorant types support them.

  12. It could be that Snoke wasn't wounded as much as his body was distorted by the sheer power that was being transferred into him. In the Star Wars EU, Palpatine moved his essence into cloned bodies but the power of the dark side was so strong that the bodies broke down at an accelerated rate so he had to keep moving from clone to clone. Could be something similar with Snoke.

Redblacks using ‘committee’ for offensive coordinator role in 2019 By 3Down Staff - April 15, 2019 The Ottawa Redblacks are taking the committee approach for the offensive coordinator position during the upcoming season. This is a glorious decision by the Redblacks and have full confidence that this will end well!! 🤣

  14. I am not sure why you would think this. Valour FC is owned by the Winnipeg Football Club and stadium revenues always benefit the Winnipeg Football Club. The WFC assets include the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Valour FC and the Lease of IGF. Anything that happens at IGF that is not UofM related is revenue for WFC.

  19. RHÉANNE M. @WPG_BLUEBOMBERS SHARE WINNIPEG, MB., April 16, 2019 – The Winnipeg Football Club today released its 2018 annual report and announced an overall operating profit of $2.6 million. “We are pleased with our overall financial results for 2018,” said Winnipeg Football Club President & CEO, Wade Miller. “These results are a testament to the strong support from our fans, season ticket members, and corporate partners. Our team should be proud of our financial results.” Total operating profit was down from 2017 as Investors Group Field saw a much quieter year in 2018 with no concerts or other major events other than the Manitoba Marathon. Total operating revenue reached $33.4 million (an increase of $970,000 over 2017) and is attributable to the Club’s decision to internalize food and beverage operations at Investors Group Field in 2018, thus not only improving the game day experience but also earning 100% of the revenues, less the associated expenses. This was offset by decreases in game revenue which was down $1.4 million (10.5%) as the Club did not host a home playoff game in 2018, and stadium management revenue which was down $1.8M in comparison to 2017. Operating expenses totaled $30.8 million, an increase of $3.4 million over 2017. While the Club continues to invest in its on-field product, overall football operations expenses increased in 2018 by $470,000 as a result of the Club’s success in playing in both the Western Semi-Final and Western Final playoff games. There were expected increases in expenditures in marketing, administration and game day expenses associated with bringing food and beverage into the Club’s internal operations. There was also a decrease in overall stadium occupancy costs of $830,000 as a result of fewer non-football events at Investors Group Field. Consistent with prior years and since the Club moved to Investors Group Field in 2013, the Club alone continues to fund the public transportation program for transit and park and ride services to and from Investors Group Field. The Club has operated the public transportation program since 2013 and has paid for all expenditures related to the program, totalling over $4.6 million. In 2017, Triple B Stadium Inc. formally acknowledged their legal obligation to fund a portion of the public transportation program, retroactive to 2013 and onward. The Club will continue its efforts to recover the payments due from Triple B. The Club recorded a payment to Triple B of $2.7 million based on the Club’s available Excess Cash at December 31, 2018, as defined in and required by the Club’s Management Agreement with Triple B. This is the fifth scheduled annual payment the Club has made to Triple B, fulfilling the Club’s ongoing obligations. Payments will continue over the next four decades based on the Club’s Management Agreement with Triple B that requires the Club to use its best efforts to generate sufficient Excess Cash through the collection of entertainment tax and facility fees to be applied to the annual payments. “Meeting our financial obligations continues to be one of the top priorities of the Winnipeg Football Club.” said Miller.

    Of course it doesn't exist. The really absurd part is that this attack comes from Trump, who found some "good people" in a group of swastika wearing, torch bearing, Jew hating, Synagogue threatening, hardcore, American nazis. And he does it to rile up his base, who hate both Muslims, and Jews. Double win. good People:

    I don’t think he has a serious injury history. Just this last one. And he appears to have come back in better shape. I would suspect that his coming back and wwe doing nothing with him has made him want to leave. Especially at his age. you can either accept that WWE would likely keep you for the next few years and it’s a good living. Or you can leave and make your last big contract as good as it can be. He could be a top guy in AEW. And I bet their offer would be similar to WWE so why not have more fun.

    Add Luke Harper to the list of talent that have requested their release. Hes 39 years old so it’s a gamble but he’s really talented. And would add some size and experience to AEW

  35. Valour FC will likely need all those revenues attributed to them to break even and even though they are owned by the Bombers they are their own entity and have to account for their own expenses and revenues. Perhaps the only additional revenue the Bombers will receive from the Valour will be rental fees for use of the stadium. This will be fairly minimal given the team will likely average 5,000 per game (hopefully more). And that would be a little strange considering they are the owners of the team...shifting around money.

  36. Just an unbelievably unfortunate turn of events for these poor players. Just completely classless. Not only are they not going to pay them their contracted amounts but they are going to prevent anyone that has a contract with them, other than the miniscule number of players signed by the NFL, from making a living by playing football. Either pay them or let them go Dundon...FFS!

    See- that is what irks me the most about this, why can't you be critical about netanyahu's policies? If you do, you are labeled an antisemite- often by non-Jewish people (usually for political grandstanding), it's insane and ignorant at the same time. it's not the Jewish people that I am criticizing ... it's netanyahu's policies.
