But Mr Navarro, if immigrants are stealing jobs, wouldn’t we expect to see the numbers stay steady when those jobs go back to Americans?

Looking good for La Squadra Italia for bronze going into the final end, up 1 over GBR w/the hammer & their power play. US/Sweden is next (9am PT) for the Gold.

Scotland has given us Golf & Curling which are basically just the summer and winter version of "can you toss this closer than I can"

Mohler said the reformers rejected papal authority during the 16th century for good reasons that are seemingly forgotten today by β€œsome liberal Protestants and careless evangelicals” seeking theological consensus and common ground on social issues like marriage and the sanctity of human life.

β€œFirst and foremost, evangelicals must affirm that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is an essential, because that is the very definition of the gospel itself, and there is nothing more core, central and essential than the gospel,” Mohler said.

why would anyone be even slightly surprised that Mike Johnson, a Southern Baptist, rejects Papal authority? If Protestants have anything in common, it's a belief that the Pope is an illegitimate source of authority. He's not being heretical to ignore the Pope -- that's the core of his religion.

Sadly my two teams (USa and Italy) had to meet in today's mixed Doubles curling semifinals. USA got the win and will compete for gold tomorrow. Even with a loss, Cory Thiesse will be the first US woman ever to medal in Curling.

Plus my emotional fave, gli Italiani, can still win Bronze!

Good Seats Still Available A curious little podcast devoted to the exploration of what used-to-be in professional sports.

Tennis fans or fans of the 1970s. My Dad was on a podcast telling war stories of his years in the 1970s running World Team Tennis and then the Boston Lobsters.

Robert the Bruce: [Robert the Bruce is visiting his leper father] Father?
Robert's Father: Ah, come in. Come in.
Robert the Bruce: A rebellion has begun.
Robert's Father: [pause] Under whom?
Robert the Bruce: A commoner... named William Wallace.
Robert's Father: [another pause] You will embrace this rebellion. Support it from our lands in the north. I will gain English favor by condemning it and ordering opposed from our lands in the south. Sit down. Stay awhile.

Do we usually have to wait this long for the MVP or are they fighting between the kicker and the punter?

Yes. That is how target audience management interpreted the value proposition and what the marketing people who made the ad intended. And soon they too will be replaced and wonder why.
