Before we hit the news of the day, I would like to take a point of personal privilege and wish my mother, Beth Garcia, a very happy birthday! Everybody has a mom, but not everyone’s mom has E I G H T kids and chooses to home school them, thereby spending every waking moment with them. Here’s to you getting some quiet time today, Mom-o!

Microsoft will announce today cow farts that it will use the unused channels between television broadcasts to improve regional access to broadband for people in sparsely populated regions of 12 states, including Georgia.

“Right now, 23.4 million Americans in rural areas can’t get the fast internet access increasingly needed for tasks like homework, job applications, online medical treatment and remote repairs for farming equipment.” A fair number of those people live in Georgia.

Brian Kemp will welcome MS’s initiative. Who else will get behind it?
Please excuse the language in the first line of the above post. I don’t see an Edit key this morning so I and you are stuck with it. The link works but has nothing to do with methane creation.
phew I read your comment and thought that just maybe today was the day my brain finally gave up. I was so incredibly confused. Must have read and reread the comment about 5 times!
That Trump is a serial liar surrounded by sycophants protecting his incompetence is an important subtext regarding Trump’s report he “strongly pressed” Putin on Russian interference in the election at the G-20, since it was only Trump, Tillerson, Putin, the Russian foreign minister and a pair of translators in the Trump-Putin meeting. Tillerson would have described Trump’s blabbing secret intelligence to the Russians as “cooperating on Syria” when Trump, Tillerson, and the Russian ambassador and Foreign Minister met in the President’s office in March, had the Russian media not spoiled it by reporting what Trump actually said. Besides, “When pursuing a corrupt politician, mobster or murderer on strong FBI evidence, if he “vehemently denied it,” we just dropped it usually” said Preet Baharara.
.
Then there’s White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying “Sanctions specific to election meddling were discussed” at the Trump-Putin meeting, except that Trump had already tweeted “Sanctions were not discussed at my meeting with President Putin” Shouldn’t WH spokespeople be following the President’s twitter account so their lies are before, rather than after the fact?
.
Huckabee Sanders then went on to say “I would certainly say Donald Jr. did not collude with anybody to influence the election”, so Don Jr has that going for him when he’s being interviewed by the FBI. Speaking of the FBI, Trump’s response to Don Jr meeting during the campaign with a Russian representative to obtain dirt on Clinton was “James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!”? The meeting was was a Democratic set up anyway. A Johns visiting a whore houses isn’t evidence of engaging prostitutes after all, is it? He could have been their pimp.
Good news, the Russian attorney that met Don Jr. during the campaign vehemently denies she’s connected to the Russian government, and Kremlin officials say they don’t know who she is. Case closed. Discontinuing the fake news investigation of the meeting will save taxpayers a boatload of money.

You’re more incoherent than usual today, Dave. Take a breath.
Just taking a cue from our fearless leader.
I’d love to see Sam beat Murray! Good analysis! My heart wants Venus so badly! One final blaze of glory!! And I want Fed to get number 19 and put more distance between him and Rafa!!! You know, wouldn’t you love to see Muller take out Cilic just to get him out of the way? Cause ain’t no way Mullet goes ad far ad Cilic might! Bottom line is I want both Andy snd Novack gone before they could meet Fed!! I mean 35 is old in this sport and Joker and Murray are both barely even 30! Interesting next few days!
One other point about Venus. Being the older sis to Serena and being outshone by baby sis has to ne tough mentally. 7 Slams versus 23?! I know, I know…but Noway, V is worth millions!!!!! True…but still, being so outclassed by Serena has to be tough. THAT is why I want one final Venus trophy!
Meanwhile in the Midwest…
