But the RedBlacks throw it away.

Adams looks like a rookie CFL QB but one with potential.

Apparently neither team was "coached up" in the past week.

What you may not know about this is that leading up to it, the first Black man elected recently to the city council had a racoon killed on his doorstep overnight and the reference was not subtle.

Glenda Jackson: Fierce and Singular to the Very End Glenda Jackson, the iconic actor and politician, has died at 87. With Tim Teeman she spoke candidly about mortality, awards, politics, acting, sexism—and meeting Fred Astaire. The idea of dying while at work, on stage, seemed “pretentious,” the actor Glenda Jackson once told this reporter, laughing. It reminded her of the story of Laurence Olivier saying to fellow actor Sybil Thorndike that he thought he was going to die during a performance. “One way to see it is that it’s a wonderful way to go,” said Jackson. “The other is: how unprofessional.” She laughed. “I prefer to go with the latter, I bloody do.” As it was, Jackson died Thursday at home in Blackheath, southeast London, aged 87, after a brief illness with her family at her side. Her agent Lionel Larner said she had recently completed filming The Great Escaper, alongside Michael Caine.

If you gotta pass out somewhere.....

A couple of years ago I happened to bump into the manager of the Polo Park Store when there. He said that the plans were to first build a store just outside the perimeter near Assiniboia Downs and when the location drew enough business away from the Polo Park location, they would build on McPhillips north of the auto dealers there and close the Polo Park store,

No matter what, he will always be Fine. I am officially done with Jeffcoat. He may be a good guy but ..........

My personal opinion was that his best work was on The Flash,

This is downright scary. It implies that our neighbours to the south of us are compassionate, sane human beings. I cannot imagine all of the abuse they will suffer at the hands of the MAGAts.

Artist John Romita, creator of the Wolverine and several other Marvel Comics characters has died at the age of 92.

Fox News labels Donald Trump the 'President of the United States' and Joe Biden a 'wannabe dictator' Americans tuning in to Fox News Tuesday night, hours after Donald Trump was arraigned on 37 federal criminal felony charges, had a big surprise: Donald Trump is the “President of the United States,” and Joe Biden, the man actually in the White House, is a “wannabe dictator.” That’s what Rupert Murdoch’s right-wing “news” network decided to tell its shrinking band of viewers, rather than the truth. Also not telling the truth was Trump himself, aided by Fox News which, unlike CNN and MSNBC (but exactly like Newsmax and C-SPAN) decided to run his post-arraignment speech live, with no anchor doing any fact checks or providing any context. “These things are not true, but Fox News is doing their damnedest to help,” noted MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on-air, one of many who noticed and were disgusted enough to speak out. Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson posted the video of Fox News host Brian Kilmeade announcing, “this is the president of the United States, about to address a crowd of supporters.” The Recount posted the clip of Fox News’ Chyron that reads: “Wannabe Dictator Speaks at the White House After Having His Political Rival Arrested” (in all-caps.) And no, Donald Trump is not the President of the United States, Joe Biden is. And Joe Biden is not a “wannabe dictator,” nor did he have “his political rival arrested.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1668788972967849985

You mean "Fine" as in QB or as in incurring a penalty?

So many of the once-giant media companies are struggling to adapt to the rapidly changing industry and try to guess what is coming next.

I suspect that the same people who support Trump are the same ones who will support DeSantis. The same flies are drawn to any pile of manure they see.

I recommend a box with 4 gig of ram, 2.5-5.0 wifi capability and 4K video output. The brand name does not seem to be critical. the IPTV server I recommend is Choice1 which also sells boxes for about $50.00. These boxes have WiFi capability but work best on an ethernet. Choice1 has excellent support service and will offer a 24 hr free trial and is pretty easy to set up. IPTV is still evolving and does have the odd glitch but a helluva lot cheaper and better than Bell or Shaw. Movies show up within 48 hours of theater release.

It would be a single, small step in a long journey with no guarantee of success. Both industry leaders and fundamentalist leaders in the US have said out loud that democracy does not serve their interests well.

The simplest way is to buy an Android box and subscribe to a good IPTV service- about $12.00 per month. I have Primus internet service and for $55.00 per month I get 75-95 MBPS almost completely stable. I switched because we had no end of problems with Bell/MTS for many months and finally gave up on them.

Greed and lust for power is the problem, not necessarily the political label. That said, capitalism has an inbuilt bias towards accumulation of power through unbridled competition. It is very much an ego-driven process and thus a short step to manipulating systems to promote self-serving goals and from thence to illegal means to achieve same. While not perfect, true socialism can function only in a vibrant democracy and by extension, will accept losing public favour and thus elections.

TRUMP’S BAD DAY GETS EVEN WORSE AS JUDGE ALLOWS E. JEAN CARROLL TO ADD CNN TOWN HALL DEFAMATION TO LAWSUIT A federal judge has ruled in favor of E. Jean Carroll and allowed her to amend her defamation complaint to include comments made by Trump at his CNN town hall. Carroll is seeking additional defamation damages for comments made by Trump about her at his CNN town hall. Instead of backing off after he lost the first defamation lawsuit against Carrol, Trump doubled down by going on national television and attacking her. The CNN town hall was a bust for everyone who was involved. The special didn’t deliver big ratings for the network. It got former CNN boss Chris Licht fired, and Trump is now facing additional damages in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit. Trump spent Tuesday being arrested and arraigned in Miami on 37 federal counts related to violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice, and somehow his day managed to get even worse. https://www.politicususa.com/2023/06/13/trumps-bad-day-gets-even-worse-as-judge-allows-e-jean-carroll-to-add-cnn-town-hall-defamation-to-lawsuit.html

TRUMP MAY HAVE GOTTEN HIMSELF CONVICTED WITH BEDMINSTER SPEECH Donald Trump chose to give a political speech after being arraigned on federal charges and some of the statements that he made will likely be used against him at trial. There were two relevant moments that were bad for Trump’s legal defense: Trump called the government documents his presidential papers: Trump said: "Charging a former president of the United States under the Espionage Act of 1917 It wasn’t meant for this. An act for a crime so heinous that only the death penalty would do and threatening me with 400 years in prison for possessing my own presidential papers, which just about every other president has done. Is one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an American court of law. The Espionage Act. Has been used to go after traitors and spies. It has nothing to do with a former president, legally keeping his own documents as president, a law that applies to this case is not the Espionage Act, but very simply the Presidential Records Act. None of what Trump said is true or correct. He doesn’t seem to know what the Presidential Records Act is, or that it applies to sitting presidents, and the legal requirement to preserve all documents while in office. Trump also argued that the government documents are his personal presidential papers, which they are not. Classified documents are not presidential papers."
