I am starting to become really annoyed at how gambling has infected every pro sport broadcast, and especially the CFL.

THAT, my friends, is the back-breaker,

And the Bombers shed a pretty hefty salary.

Agreed. Three points does very little for the Als at this point.

Eugene Lewis can play on my team any time.

Harris got really cranked there.

Still think the Argos will win this game.

And Milt's mom dressed him nice.

Yes, yes there is.

In a few days or hours we’ll reach 8

Trump cannot stop himself from appearing during the runoff and the GOP is dreading it. Walker is too dim to understand any of this.

You must be tired by now. Have a seat.

Disagree. There are dozens of not hundreds ready to shear the sheep.

And the problem with that is................?

Donald Trump's Thursday meltdown on his Truth Social website had already made its way into court proceedings in Florida just one day later. "Former President Donald Trump's post-election screed labeling Florida's governor 'Ron DeSanctimonious' didn't go unnoticed by Andrew Gillum or his Miami lawyers," the Tallahassee Democrat reported. "In addition to saying he helped 'fix' DeSantis' campaign after it had 'completely fallen apart,' Trump said he also got the feds to intervene 'when votes were being stolen' in Broward County." Gillum was beaten by Ron DeSantis in the 2018 midterms. "David Markus and Katherine Miller, who are representing Gillum on federal public corruption charges involving donations to his gubernatorial campaign, didn't fire back at insults Trump hurled at Tallahassee's former mayor," the newspaper reported. "Instead, they cited Trump's statement in a motion filed Friday in federal court saying it further supported their request for a hearing on whether the federal government selectively prosecuted Gillum because of his race." In a series of posts imitating a Twitter thread, a feature Trump's Truth Social does not support, Trump had harsh words for DeSantis. Trump complained that Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and New York Post had gone "all in" for DeSantis, who Trump described as "an average Republican governor with great public relations." "I was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win," Trump claimed. Gillum's lawyers seized on Trump's social media remarks in their filing. "Former President Trump's posts raise serious questions about how exactly Trump 'fixed' DeSantis' campaign and what Trump directed the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office to do, and whether there is any connection to the FBI's investigation and later prosecution of Gillum," Gillum's lawyers argued. The attorneys said Trump's Truth Social post demonstrates a "prima facie case of selective prosecution (at a minimum for political purposes), because Donald Trump confirms that he took action through the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office." According to The Washington Post, Trump's claims of sending federal agents to intervene in the election are "also almost certainly false."

Apparently the US Supreme Court Judges no longer feel a need to appear impartial: Four Supreme Court justices under scrutiny for attending right-wing gala Four U.S. Supreme Court justices attended the black-tie dinner gala at the first Federal Society convention since the court overturned Roe vs. Wade in its controversial Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health decision. Associated Press correspondent Mark Sherman reported Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh were in attendance at the group's 40th-anniversary celebration Sherman noted it is four-fifths of the majority of the court that overturned Roe. Controversial Justice Clarence Thomas was the fifth. Three of the four justices in attendance were nominated by Donald Trump. "Leonard Leo, [Federalist Society] co-chair, helped Trump vet judicial nominees. Group says it's independent of partisan politics," Sherman reported. "But there is close alignment with GOP priorities." Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance wondered if the justices at the dinner had forgotten their job. "As with so many of our institutions, the judiciary can only do its work when the public has confidence in it," Vance noted. "Some of our judges seem to have forgotten that and that they have life tenure to serve the American people, not the political agenda of the people who put them in place."

Yet another example of choosing power over principle.

They named it the Hoover Dam but the name really sucks.

Things Sure Don't Seem To Be Going Well At Twitter. "Bankruptcy isn't out of the question," Elon told employees Thursday. Welcome to the new Twitter. Here, everyone can be anyone and for the low, low price of $8, the company will give you a veneer of legitimacy to back it up ― at least temporarily. Nearly two weeks into the company’s Elon Musk era, half of the employees have been laid off (prompting a class action lawsuit), large advertisers have paused their spending (leading to a “dire” financial situation), and Twitter’s previous system for verifying that people are who they claim to be has been deliberately demolished. That means anyone can now set up an account pretending to be anyone else, and pay $8 for the checkmark that used to signify the account had been verified, but now means nothing.

KFC Apologizes For Using Kristallnacht To Promote Cheesy Chicken In Germany The KFC fast food chain in Germany issued an apology on Wednesday after it sent an app alert suggesting customers commemorate the anniversary of Nazi-led attacks on Jews by eating cheesy chicken. The chain’s German division sent a message to followers on its app that read: “It’s memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!” the BBC reported. Not surprisingly, many people found KFC’s promotion to be tasteless. Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass,” is considered the start of the Holocaust. The two-night rampage on Nov. 9-10, 1938, led to the destruction of 267 synagogues and thousands of other Jewish-owned businesses in Nazi Germany, as well as the deaths of 90 Jewish people and the arrest of thousands more. Germany takes the Kristallnacht anniversary seriously, according to the BBC, with numerous memorial events reflecting the Nazis’ murder of more than 6 million Jewish people. About an hour after the alert, KFC issued a follow-up on the app that blamed the tasteless promotion on “an error in our system,” and added: “We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error,” according to The Guardian.
