WOW! Democrats’ socialist Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner might soon DROP OUT OF THE RACE, odds of it happening are SURGING on news of a major impending scandal — Polymarket He is the nominee, but Dems may PUSH HIM OUT just like they did in 2024! Dems recruit BOTTOM OF THE BARREL candidates.

I believe fox had her at plus 3 last week.
Collins historically has always trailed her opponent in the summer, or at least in 2020 she trailed bad. Now, she is ahead.

Maine Kampf is facing rape allegations from a woman who kept quiet until now because she supported his politics. But now that he’s damaged goods and cannot reliably steer free money and dead Jews her way, she has to come clean about his behavior, because rapists in the Senate are cool so long as they can enable Hamas and give arts and humanities layabouts a sincecure.

Bridge results today.
Scores ranged from top score of 5190 to low of 920.
Top 2 scores win money ($5 and $3).
Second highest score was 3440, followed by a 3340, then me with a 3330. So I was in the hunt for #2 but got nosed out. I stumbled a little coming out of the clubhouse turn after lunch.
I will do extra mental and physical training between now and Thursday when I next play bridge.

jason,
sorry, but I cannot take the risk of inviting you to one of wife’s soirees (HOA rules and such, plus you may go off on someone for no reason and call them all sorts of names, AND if I would convince my wife to invite you and things went south, then my wife may cancel my work contract to do all the things necessary to get ready for future soirees……
Last month I did broach the subject of maybe inviting you, the wife said she is in to multiculturalism which is a plus for you being originally from some exotic place in South America, but first she wanted to see 5 years of jason’s HHR posts to take a look at to determine your demeanor and interaction with others in social settings…(so ther is THAT little problem…).
…. I personally think it would be nice for Cash Cow to meet Lupita and they could romp around together.

In the words of Red Green, I will be pulling for you for maybe getting an invite for some future soiree…

Also, my younger son was told to go home from work today…because he had worked 8 hours straight without taking any breaks or stopping for lunch. They will nor let you work more than 8 hours if you have not taken any breaks.
Also, son got a second certificate this evening in his drug rehab program for successfully completing his outpatient drug rehab program.
He now only has to go to drug counseling classes, etc of just two evenings a week…plus the usual 2 days a week drug testing and continue seeing his therapist/doctor..
He has been drug and alcohol free for 310 days now….
Thank you, God…

Sad way to go out. I still don’t get why some many Americans were gun ho on soccer. Personally, it’s ok. My daughters were through years and years with our parks and recreation league. I enjoyed the games and the practices. But beyond that, soccer was just ok.

I think the problem I have with soccer is that it seems like a lot of work to move the ball up the field and then the defenders kick it or the goalie throws it all the way back. I assume there must be plays but it just seems like chaos with very little scoring. It’s just not for me.

“July 7 (Reuters) – Ukrainian drones struck eight tankers from Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” that were delivering fuel to Crimea overnight, Kyiv’s military said on Tuesday, part of a mounting effort to isolate the Russian-occupied peninsula.
In a statement on Telegram, Ukraine’s drone forces said they had struck the vessels – each under international sanctions and with a deadweight of around 7,000 tons – in the Sea of Azov.
It came a day after the same forces said they had hit two other shadow-fleet vessels around the same area.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks on logistics and energy infrastructure in Crimea in recent weeks, sparking fuel shortages and a state of emergency in the territory, which is critical to Russia’s war on its smaller neighbour, now in its fifth year.”

US got rattled when Belgium scored 60 seconds after the US had tied the game.
Took away all the momentum. Plus Pulisic and Balogun didn’t rise to the occasion.
Maybe it would have been better if Balogun had not been allowed to play, the US trained all week assuming he wouldn’t play and the controversy was a distraction.

Walt, tell your wife that in all the years you and I have been here together I never called you any names and our disagreements have been respectful.
Of course, there is a reason for this. I bowed to my insignificance when faced with the fact that you have survived millions of other adversaries.

Yes, this is important.
After I became an official A-hole I had responsibilities to live up to, so that should be taken into account.

We wil know the final 8 teams today.
I think Argentina will beat Egypt.
But I have no idea on Colombia vs. Switzerland, both are playing well.
But the cream rises to the top, it’s not rocket science.
Assuming Argentina and Colombia win we would have
Country. Fifa World Rank
Argentina. 1 (or Egypt 30)
Spain 2
France 3
England. 4
Morocco. 7
Belgium. 9
Colombia. 13 (or Switzerland 16)
Norway 31
In other words, of the top 4 teams, all are still in.
And only Norway is not in the top 15.

I have a bet on Norway to win the WC, made before it started. My other bet, the US, is history.
I think it is improbable they would beat Argentina IF they made it to the semifinal (will have to beat England) or France or Spain in the final (that is what the bracket path shows).
But if they do I will get $3800.
