    Likely yes...our first move for ANY news should be to not believe it, at least scrutinize it heavily, current news outlets are untrustable

    Or the ones that slide out so smooth and quick and make zero splash. I always envision myself turning to the judges and they are holding up '10' placards.

    You think it's stupid, I don't... The smartphone is the worst invention in history (and social media) and one of the major contributions to the downfall of society... Whatever happened to just enjoying the scenery in a car, talking with the people you are riding with, reading? Nope, can't do that, got to be on a stupid phone because everyone's attention span is less than three seconds... Like I said, I know I am in the major minority on this, but I think it would make things a lot better if they were banned...

    They outnumber us by an enormous margin. It would be like we are the dothraki and they are the zombie army.

    My tried and true Kentucky Derby system has a great track record... I just screw it up by tossing the wrong horses. Let's do it! - Eliminate horses not finishing in the top 2 in the five major prep races. Eliminate all horses not bred in the great state of Kentucky. Those qualifications make up 80%+ of all Derby winners. Santa Anita Derby 1. Roadster 2. Game Winner Arkansas Derby 1. Omaha Beach 2. Improbable Blue Grass 1. Vekoma 2. Win Win Win - Bred in Florida Florida Derby 1. Maximum Security 2. Bodexpress - Waiting on a defection to get into Derby Wood Memorial 1. Tacitus 2. Tax ......................................................................... That leaves 8. Toss out Tax - the #2 post position. And a gelding. Good luck with that. Toss out Roadster - the #17 post has NEVER won the Derby. Toss out Vekoma - Blue Grass hasn't produced a Derby winner in decades, let alone a speedster. Hit the road glue stick. Toss out Maximum Security - Ever heard of jockey Luis Saez? Me neither. Never better than 7th place in 6 Derby rides. Also a speedster horse. Toss out Tacitus - Experts say he's a bit out of his league in this race facing weak competition in previous races. Plus he's ugly grey. Gone. .................................................................................... Down to 3. Toss out Improbable - His owners won with Justify last year. No owner has won back-to-back since 1973. Also blinkers coming off for first time. Toss out Omaha Beach - The Derby favorite - which have won 6 straight Derby's following a drought of 30+ years. The streak ends here - lots of parity in this race. Which is why GAME WINNER at 5-1 odds out of the #16 post position will be the 2019 Kentucky Derby winner. Of the major prep races, the Santa Anita is one of the most prestigious. Finishing 2nd (by a length) to talented Roadster is nothing to be ashamed of. His other 2nd place finish? To Derby favorite Omaha Beach - by a nose. His record is 4-2-0 in 6 starts, all Grade I. Jockey Joel Rosario already has a Derby win under his belt (2013). Trainer is Bob Baffert.

    I've had mine for a few years now and love it. I cook brunch on it for anywhere from 8-20 people just about every Sunday. It's also great for searing meat (a flat sear is superior to a grill sear and if you don't agree, fight me). A few tips: Season the hell out of it before you cook anything at all on it. Make sure you keep it level. If not, the used oil/grease will not drain properly. Get a thermometer for it until you get used to controlling temps on it.

    to quote the great Bobby B: "NEVER engage the Dothraki in open space warfare!" their suicide charge was another callback to season 1 ... we saw how much that came to fruition in the "Loot Train" battle, but, here, at Winterfell, they were always gonna be the sacrificial piece to go first ... much like the kids storming the beaches in Normandy and Anzio - someone had to pay the ultimate price to make whatever initial dent was possible. and it was spectacular seeing their scythes disappear into that wintery abyss ... aaaaand that's when it started to lose me - a melted face Jorah the Explorer and a handful of Dothraki stragglers come charging back - so essentially 10,000 warriors were just wiped the fock out ... really expected a TON of carnage would ensue ... and it did - but none of the big guns went down. Sam wrestling with at least a dozen wights, on a bed of corpses ... it seemed so hopeless that even his best mate, Snow, didn't even bother. yet Sam lives. Snow himself, in constant peril, surrounded by hundreds, with Viserys on his neck. yet Snow lives. Dany in similar straits as Snow ... Jorah dies his dream death. yet Dany lives. and Brienne. and Jamie. Sansa, Arya, Bran, etc, etc the price of vanquishing the Night King and his ENTIRE ARMY should've come at a steeper price than the lower tier (Jorah, Theon, Night's Watch Ed, Lady Mormont, Beric) five who perished. (not including Melisandre because she was not a combatant). this would have been the greatest TV episode of all-time if Arya died while killing the Night King ... and if the writers had the balls to up the ante on some of the other survivors. i hated losing little Lady Mormont ... loved that character, but the writers even admitted that she was never to appear again after her first episode, but they bought her back because she was a fan favorite ... that's some pandering sh1t, and it hearkens back to my rant earlier about this whole thing devolving i to a glorified Hollywood Blockbuster ... pure, unadulterated popcorn CHEEZ ... dreadful. it used to be about actions/consequence ... now it's no more than the formulaic pablum of set up/payoff. our heroes will now somehow take Cersei down, even though they lost all the Dothraki, pretty much all of the Unsullied, and one dragon. meanwhile, Cersei sits in King's Landing with the Lannister Army, the Gold Company, Euron's Iron Fleet, and Qyburn's Scorpions dotting her battlements (watch the title sequences for season 3, it's pointed right at Reagher the Black's dragon skull) . yet, somehow ... someway ... our plucky lil' gang of fan favorites will emerge victorious. fock this. i'm done with it.

    America is less great today because government is too invasive where it needs to get out of our lives, and too lazy where it needs to be involved. The prowess of the middle class has always been what elevated America, and it was under siege for decades, Trump is defending it. Making the middle class great again effectively makes America better, if not "great' again.
