ESPN’s ratings were down a combined 15% on ESPN and ESPN2 in 2017 and the numbers on their original programming aren’t looking good for 2018 either.Stick to your knitting or something like that!
The NFL has also collapsed in ratings.

Tom Steyer has a bad message for Democrats
This is a bad day for Democrats:
Tom Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund manager and Democratic mega-donor, said in an interview with Fortune on Wednesday that he refuses to donate to the Democratic Party after the “Schumer Shutdown” debacle.Steyer revealed in an interview on Wednesday, “I don’t have a litmus test on any one thing, but I do have a litmus test for elected officials standing on principle and doing the right thing, looked at holistically. And I want to say that after the DACA vote I have decided not to give anything to the national party committees.”Steyer is angry about the Dems giving up the fight. At the same time, did Steyer really think that Senator Schumer had a choice here?
More silly blue headlines
It might be better if the "blue states" cut taxes and keep more people....this headline is silly: "Cuomo says East Coast states will sue feds, looking to thwart key piece of tax overhaul...."— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) January 27, 2018
January 2007: How can you believe anything from this woman's mouth?
This is a post from January 2007:
Better than that, read Hillary's amazing words from 2003:
"There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm's way, that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will.
I have to say that this is something I've followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming.
I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information, intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, tried to discount the political or other factors that I didn't believe should be in any way a part of this decision. I would love to agree with you, but I can't based on my own understanding and assessment of the situation.
With respect to whose responsibility it is to disarm Saddam Hussein, I just do not believe that, given the attitudes of many people in the world community today, that there would be a willingness to take on very difficult problems, were it not for the United States leadership, and I'm talking specifically about what had to be done in Bosnia and Kosovo where my husband could not get a Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic cleansing.

And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it alone. And so I see it somewhat differently. So forgive me for my experience and perspective."
In this speech, Senator Clinton contradicts those who say that Pres. Bush rushed to war or did not listen to our allies. In fact, Senator Clinton admitted that the allies did not listen to her husband either. This is why her husband had to go around the UN in Bosnia and Iraq.
In this video, Mrs. Clinton confirms that many allies were not serious about doing anything about Iraq. Are you listening Senator Kerry?

Honest people can disagree with this war. However, how can any honest person take this woman seriously?
July 2006: Res. 1559 or another worthless UN resolution
Back in 2006, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1559:
"its support for a free and fair presidential election in Lebanon conducted according to Lebanese constitutional rules devised without foreign interference or influence and, in that connection, called upon all remaining foreign forces to withdraw from Lebanon."The "diplomacy always" crowd cheered and toasted the historic moment. For sure, New York restaurants probably sold a lot of champagne and expensive wine as "UN types" told each other how great and relevant they are.
Back in Lebanon, the terrorists laughed at Resolution 1559. Why? Because Hezbollah knew that no one would enforce it and consequently nothing would happen.
Such is the fate of so many UN Resolutions. Nothing happens!
Trump will keep GITMO open
According to news reports, President Trump will keep GITMO open. You may remember that President Obama promised to close it in his first year.
So GITMO will be around and that's a good thing!
Obama failed the "dreamers"
Trump is right: Obama and Democrat majorities did not pass immigration reform or "Dream Act"...............— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) January 26, 2018
June 2006: Happy for Jerry Narron
Jerry Narron was the Rangers' third base coach from 1995 to May 2001 when he replaced Johnny Oates. For the record, Oates lead the Rangers to 3 divisional titles.
Oates resigned in May '01 and Narron managed the Rangers for the remainder of the year and '02. He had an awful team. Eventually, he was fired too.
Narron landed subsequently in Cincinnati and his contract has just been extended to '08.
Jerry Narron was put in a terrible position in Texas. I'm glad that he's getting a chance to prove himself with the Reds.
