NASCAR crowned a brand-new first-time champion last week at Homestead. Martin Truex Jr. Martin had an outstanding year this year in NASCAR and even with the points reshuffling managed to pull off the championship win. Martin’s sponsor changed this year – he now is the Furniture Row car. He used to be the Bass Pro Shops car. I have to say I’m happy to see the end of the Jimmie Johnson string of championships – we’ve had a new one every year for the last five or six years.
In other NASCAR news, Danica Patrick announced her “retirement” from NASCAR. Sorry, bikini girl, you brought nothing to the sport, and you didn’t merit the ride you had. Liberals will miss you; hard-core race fans are happy that the tracks are once again safe for their drivers.
All I have to say about the NFL this week – and I’m going to be worse than smarty here – I’m going to be downright mean. I want to see Marshawn Lynch get a career-ending non-serious injury soon – preferably at the hands of a huge defensive player with a brother or sister serving in Afghanistan. You can exit stage left any time, “Beast.” Not even the fact that you played for my alma mater can make me wish you well at this point, you grandstanding a-hole.

In the PGA, it appears the tour will be staying in and watching hockey and recovering from the after affects of L-Tryptophan.
In the NBA, someone tell LeVar Ball to stick an effing sock in it. Next time Trump can leave your little criminal to rot in China and then you can get your pals Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to get him out. And considering the Chinese have a mindset – “what can you do for US” and the poverty pimps’ collective answer would be “nothing”, the only TV coverage you’d get would be them getting kicked OUT of the country that your thieving dirtbag offspring stayed IN.
I’m going to start the thread by saying, I watched figure skating today.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3133668/bulgarian-migrant-hunter-buys-helicopter-gunship-refugees-jihadists/
A Bulgarian migrant hunter with a arsenal of military vehicles has purchased a helicopter gunship to round up refugees or “potential jihadists.” It’s highly probably that he has been granted immunity by the Bulgarian government.
FYI: An associate of mine visited Bulgaria and Romania in June and highly recommend the former. Sofia, the capital, is a culturally-rich (opera, ballet, symphony, great museums, good food), livable, cosmopolitan city where many residents speak English. (Riga, Plovdiv and Burgas are other good options in Eastern Europe).
Also, unlike their Romanian neighbors, the Bulgarians SAVED their Jews during the Holocaust. (Both countries have known life under the Ottoman Muslims and the Soviet Communists).
(Major negative: Bulgaria lacks a formidable military).
…and then we have this….

His wife, Lindsey, took his seat after he died. Cokie thinks this is just the way the town works, and who’s to say she’s wrong, given the evidence?

Remind me again how all of this is TRUMP’s fault, there, media.
HE didn’t give Kim Dong Fat Boy’s progenitor nuclear capability – CLINTON did.
HE didn’t kick the effing can down the road for almost 20 years – CLINTON, BUSH and OBAMA did.
What he’s done is what the previous three WOULDN’T do – tell the little sh*tbag to knock it off.
Nuclear war? We don’t need no steeenkin’ nuclear war, Fat Boy. We have the MOAB. A couple of those on your imperial palace and everybody in North Korea asks to be airlifted SOUTH.
@ Deplorable Barbarian:
Hillary just came out (before the launch) telling everybody to stop provoking L’il Kim if we want to avoid war. Insert eye-roll here.
I don’t know what comprises Japan’s ‘exclusive economic zone’. I assume it landed in a body of water somewhere and not actually on land. The undercurrent to this is really between China and Japan because they keep picking at each other. What China can’t threaten Japan with directly, they can use the Norks to threaten them indirectly. “See? Whatever can we do,they just won’t LISTEN. Oops! There goes another one!”
@ eaglesoars:
And what I can’t get over is that the irrelevant harpy made these idiot statements in BEIJING!
I am finding much of this amusing. The Democrats are doing everything possible to get the Clintons to go “gently into that good night” and they’re so incredibly power crazy they refuse to see the handwriting on the wall. The Beastie doesn’t realize they are saying in no uncertain terms they will no longer be glossing over the antics of her sexual predator husband and/or her role in slut-shaming his victims.
I’m seriously considering the idea that Beastie really DID go off the deep end when she lost that election – much like Gore did in 2000 – except in her case there is some genuine mental illness going on there.
Does this make sense to anybody?

Yeah, they want to stay out of jail. But in many ways they don’t realize they are a pair of toothless tigers in some way. They have nothing to threaten anyone with. So for the first time, it appears people are coming out against them.

Some good news – CAT scan showed no spread to his chest, but sonogram on the kidneys seemed to be ambiguous so they need more info on that, but they’re going in regardless. He does have family with him,he’s not alone.
