According the career bureaucrats at OMB, Doral was not only the best place to have it logistically, but it was by far the cheapest place they could have it.

Clinton and Finstien gave them the technology and the rest of Congress insured that the American Taxpayer paid for it.

Hong Kong is part of China. We have no say in how they govern their own country. If the people of Hong Kong want to stand up to their political leaders, then I suggest they start a civil war. My guess is they will be slaughtered. But in any case, while we in the West are entitled to our opinions, it is an internal issue and none of our business any more than allowing China to decide how many genders are recognized in the Peoples Republic of California.

"Why Don't Rich People Just Stop Working?"

For the same reason that politicians don't....FOR THE MONEY.

That's it. Time for everybody to start paying their fair share. One! And only one tax bracket. Want more money? Work more, harder or smarter.

He is not a whistle blower. He is doing nothing but spreading 2nd and 3rd hand gossip. At least according to his own attorney. The fact that Pelosi and Schiff managed to get the rules changed/reinterpreted post Mueller investigation and then had a bunch of lawyers write the complaint doesn't change anything accept to show how corrupt and morally bankrupt they are.

101,

I did something similar in Jr. HS. But I was guilty. I somehow used the word "TW*T" near a girl and she told a teacher. The Vice-Principal promptly beat my a**. I still don't use that word.

Side note: I ended up dating that girl for a while and remained close friends throughout my Marine Corps career.

Feinstein and McConnell are probably on the parade route cheering them on.

Another Obama holdover. They don't have the integrity to leave on their own until they face extermination.

"Whistleblower Under Federal Protection, Fears for Life"

Interesting headline were it true. The so-called whistle blower's own attorney says otherwise. Personally I think the minute he gets through testifying that the DOJ needs to arrest him for unauthorized dissemination of classified or sensitive information.

Why can't the NCAA simply bar any school that allows paid athletes?

From what I have read, that seems to be what they plan to do.

"Athletes should be able to sigh a professional contract at 16. They get a little money at a time in their life where it might really help and while they are still living with their parents who can help guide them."

I would say 18 as that is when they are considered a legal adult. But then treat them as an adult and hold them accountable. AKA, fine them for misconduct or doing stupid S***. And if an NFL team wants to hire them at 18, so be it.

It is ridiculous that the NCAA is a non profit. Follow my idea and they will be stripped of that status, as they should be.

Agreed. The NCAA is a for profit corporation and should be taxed accordingly. Those taxes need to go to the Feds, State, etc. just like everybody else. NOT THE UNIVERSITIES.

"
If the patents of non-jocks have skills they can paid for, like being great at video games or something, they should be getting paid too.

Football is unrelated to academics. They should be paid for their work if it's generating revenue, which it most assuredly is.

Wrong.

Scholarship athletes are being paid. About $200,000 in an education. If they are not there for the education, then don't take the scholarship. Otherwise it's fraud.

What I hope happens id that scholarship students end up prohibited from accepting of any kind money. And that non-scholarship students are aloud to either work part time jobs again or are the ones allowed to sell the likeness, ... ... ..

Schiff works for a Nazi (Soros). As for The Squad, 2 are terrorists, and 1 is a carpet bagging opportunist, and the leader simply thinks that the citizenry are to be ruled, not represented. Trump is correct. They are all savages.

#6,

I think we all agree this will end up in court. Mark Cuban seems to think that, if allowed to stand, this will be the end of Top Tier College Sports. What happens when a player can't play because of "ongoing negotiations"? And there are a million other unforeseen and unknown's. Because, like Antonio Brown, the B.S. just ain't worth the investment for the team.

I wonder how much Newsom made off of the deal from the trial lawyers? A bunch of lawyers get free reign to scam profits out of 18-22 y/o kids. This is the ultimate in California Ambulance chasing. I can't wait for the first law suit from a player on a coach not playing him enough and costing him money. Or suing because he's not playing on TV on New Years Day.

Bottom line is that the kids and the school take a chance in a specific kid to a specific school. When scholarships are offered, the only person that gets paid now is the student in the form of a $200,000 education. The school is the one taking the gamble. And most of those scholarship babies don't pan out. But, because the few that do look as though they are gonna make it want to live like Rock Stars on campus NOW, they want more. Maybe the school should get a piece of any deal for providing the opportunity, the stadium, the rest of the team, the coaches to teach them to tie their shoes, the tutors to insure that their grades are made so they can play, and all of the other stuff that goes in to putting them in a place to become multi-millionaires virtually the day they walk off campus (without graduating).

If she wants out so bad, I would definitely entertain picking up her mortgage. We're looking in that area anyway.

Rcade...start a climate refugee real-estate thread.

Girl gets award for skipping school to go sailing? Around here the parents would be arrested for (1) truancy and (2) abusing an autistic child by intentionally scaring the S*** out of her with a bunch of B.S.

I miss Cronkite. Most of the Nation had no idea he was a flaming liberal for all those years. He was the last great newsman.

This is not about the environment. It's about parents pimping their kids out to make a buck.

"Funny how the DR "conservatives" now have all this "evidence" on Clinton, but only spent a decade investigating Benghazi and some crap about a server"

Guilt or innocence is irrelevant. As with Dems now, they didn't have the votes. Unfortunately, that is what it's come down too. 2 of the 3 branches of governments now have more staff dedicated to political counterpunching than serving the needs of the people that elected them. If they had real jobs, they would have their pay docked for lack of productivity.

Didn't make a Hillary Conspiracy at all. Jump lumped her in with some of the other corrupt politicians of recent history. Could have just as easily used Reid, Soros...I mean Schiff, McConnell, Nadler, Slick Willy, 1/2 the Dems in Congress, 1/2 the Pubs in Congress, and the list goes on.

You just have to laugh at TDS. Hillary knowingly pays for Russian propaganda to use against Trump and Dems claim it's his fault. Biden goes on world wide Television bragging in detail about obstructing justice and again, it's Trump's fault. How about Clinton, Biden, and Pelosi have all been crooked for longer than most have been alive. At least Pelosi was born into corruption. Clinton and Biden had to learn it.

This is political theater. It's about the fact that Dems know that Biden could never win the general election. The only real hope Dems have is to play the woman card. There are a lot of really good Democrats. Unfortunately, none of them are running for President or are currently in positions of leadership.
