He won 224 games and threw two no-hitters, including a perfect game against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium on June 21, 1964.

I didn't understand it then and I still don't get it but if someone asked what they had in common I could go on and on about how they're more alike than different.

As if caring about others is a bad thing! Isn't ironic that most conservatives incorporate their alleged "Christian" religious beliefs into their political thinking? What if these folks cared as much about humans after they are born as they do before they're born? I guess they'd all be liberals.

It was started by two white girls who based their recipes on techniques they learned in Mexico. The shop was shut down after negative media attention surrounding accusations of racism and "cultural appropriation" when the girls shared with a news source that they "peeped" in on older Mexican women making burritos and tried to replicate the recipe in the U.S.They were soon accused of stealing the recipes and thousands of negative Yelp reviews appeared. The business closed up shop shortly after.Was this actually cultural appropriation? Was this tyranny? Was this capitalism and the free market at work? less
Bodyslammed a reporter for asking an uncomfortable question. Then again, Jesse Ventura got elected in Minnesota and he made a living out of bodyslamming EVERYBODY.

The following is excerpted from his feature on the site he founded and runs:A widely held tenet of the current conventional wisdom is that while President Trump might not be popular overall, he has a high floor on his support. Trump’s sizable and enthusiastic base — perhaps 35 to 40 percent of the country — won’t abandon him any time soon, the theory goes, and they don’t necessarily care about some of the controversies that the “mainstream media” treats as game-changing developments.
It’s an entirely reasonable theory. We live in a highly partisan epoch, and voters are usually loyal to politicians from their party. Trump endured a lot of turbulence in the general election but stuck it out to win the Electoral College. The media doesn’t always gues... less

Trump apparently promised the Pope that he would read it. DO you believe this happened? And do you believe that Trump can or will read it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40023725Oh and one more question... lol is this what they call fake news?

Who would run the country and who would be in charge of the nuclear codes? It would take a while to have a new election so would they just put Obama back in until it could be sorted out? Cheers!

Is there anything that can be done to stem the rise in attacks? Why is it that Europe seems to have more terror attacks than the United States?
