There a similar relationship between the rise or autism and the rise of 5G towers. Don't let them fool you!

A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

Ain’t nobody going to read that… where are the sirens? The bombshells? Breaking News exclusives? At least tell us "They don’t want us to know about it” for Christ sakes.

Hooray for the Resistance. They win one against Evil Emperor Trump and the Evil Empire.

The force is with us.

Carney wins Canadian election, while Conservative leader loses his seat in Parliament

https://www.yahoo.com/news/canadians-set-vote-election-dominated-041935857.html

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.

Carney's rival, populist Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, was voted out of his seat in Parliament, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected Tuesday.

The loss of his seat representing his Ottawa district in Monday’s election capped a swift decline in fortunes for the firebrand Poilievre, who a few months ago appeared to be a shoo-in to become Canada’s next prime minister and shepherd the Conservatives back into power for the first time in a decade.

Hey, remember when the Trumplikins used to rage over the excessive use of executive orders? Good times!

That pick still haunts me. Not as bad now that we have two SB wins but the two worse playoff losses I've personally experienced as an Eagles fan is 2008 against the Cardinals and 2010 against the Packers. I legitimately believed those two teams were destined to win the SB.

Were you not a fan in 2002 or just too young to remember? The TB loss that year was far worse as the Eagles were the best team in the league that year and it was the last game ever at the Vet.

I was at the TB game. It was f'n brutal.

I was at the game. By far the worst loss I have ever experienced. Then they came in and beat us on opening day at the Linc. Was at that one too. :(

That was the worst loss for me. Even worse than the three Super Bowl losses.

The one where the "Bucs never won a playoff game below freezing" game? Yep. I wasn't nearly as convinced we were the best team simply because of that Bucs defense. They gave up 6 points in the divisional round, 10 points in the NFCCG and 9 points through 3 quarters in the SB. Both the Eagles and Bucs were 12-4 that season. There was nothing (other than the game being at home) to me that made them the clear favorite.

i was at that game, easily the worst loss i witnessed. it was my older son's first game ever. so of course, they choked it away.

i didn't see the last 50yrds of ronde barber's pick 6, i was too busy sitting distraught, with a double face palm.

They've given us a few FUs since then (currently on a three game playoff losing streak to them)

i allowed those to be erased by 59.

until now, thanks. 😒

The loss against Brady was a great experience for Hurts. The loss against Mayfield was a monumental waste of everyone's time.

Ok, I thought we were the fairly large favorite at the time. We had gone 12-2 after the 1st week loss and dominated many games. The 4th loss was a meaningless week 17 game. We'd also beaten TB in the playoffs in 2 of the 3 previous years.

one of the many examples of reid proving he has no plan b, at all.

kind of like 59.

Yeah, we were like 3 point favorites. Nothing crazy. I certainly didn't feel like that game was a gimme.

I think the difference for me was that the other years you mentioned weren't super bowl teams the way I saw it. Good Reid teams but not like the '02 or '04 teams.

Those teams were stronger but 2008 and 2010 felt like "destiny" teams. The way the last week of the 2008 season ended where we needed everything to fall just right. The Miracle at the Meadowlands 2 in 2010. Just felt magical.

reid and mcnabb were both very consistent, in choking.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-executive-order-law-enforcement-1235327251/

In one paragraph of the order, the Attorney General and associated agencies are instructed to "maximize the use of Federal resources” to support state and local law enforcement training, increased pay for officers, enhanced sentences for crimes against law enforcement, and "investment in the security and capacity of prisons.”

The signed order also encourages the prosecution of state and local officials for "unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.” And it calls on the Justice Department to prosecute state and local officials who promote "diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives that supposedly "restrict law enforcement activity or endanger citizens” — on the grounds that diversity-related measures constitute discrimination or civil-rights violations.

The directive was issued alongside a separate executive order calling on the Attorney General to identify and punish so-called sanctuary cities that "obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.”
