Todd: U.S. Olympic men's team leaves icy stain on hockey that won't go away By being not-so-innocent props in an insult to the women's team and a Trump propaganda carnival, the players disrespected fans across Canada.

"It’s already too late. It may be impossible to trade Tkachuk or Matthews with a week to go until the trade deadline, but there is no reason either should go on wearing the β€œC.”

Not in this country. Not at this time."

I am disappointed with your statement. I know you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, but this is an illegal war, initiated by 2 monsters. I really was hoping you would make a principled stand. #cdnpoli

It was going great until you said I support USA taking action. You could have said USA should get back to negotiations.

Wars keep the leaders of wars in power.

It's true for Putin.
It's true for Netanyahu.
It will be true for Trump.

That No Good Pedophile and His Trump Epstein Regime😑

We dont want or need a war with Iran. After previous bombing, Trump assured us he had β€œdecimated β€œ Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
We are at war because Netanyahu told Trump to crush them. Israel has long wanted to dominate Iran.

But make no mistake, this is not about nukes and its not for America

He was no military expert, but were Jeffrey Epstein alive today, he would have been able to tell us exactly why we are waging war on Iran at this very moment.

Neil Sedaka, β€œBreaking Up Is Hard to Do” and β€œLaughter in the Rain” Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 86 The Brooklynite's esteemed body of work also includes "Calendar Girl," "Oh! Carol," "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Where the Boys Are," "Bad Blood" and "Solitaire."

Neil Sedaka was so talented, and he inspired me to follow my dream of being a songwriter.

With love and gratitude and condolences to his family.

Trump DOJ expands voter roll crusade, sues five more states β€” including four red ones The new wave of lawsuits suggests the department is not retreating β€” it is doubling down.

My law firm and I are fighting DOJ in court over in every one of the first 25 lawsuits it filed to gain access to your sensitive voting data. We will do the same in these next five.

This is the most important fight right now and I intend to win.

<i>Heated Rivalry</i> Was a Fun Fantasy, But Hockey Is Still Deeply Toxic After their historic Olympic win, men on the team came under fire for laughing at President Trump's disparaging remarks about the US women's team. Is this a turning point for women's sports in culture...

"This is men’s hockey culture. It is deeply toxic, deeply conservative, & deeply misogynist & homophobic."

Let's not forget the sexual assault trails with 5 players in Men's World Junior Hockey Team. None were found guilty. πŸ˜’

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
