greg gianforte with his wife, susan, after he declared victory on thursday in the race for montana’s lone seat in the house .
really? he got a bronze medal in the world championships. to most that would be a career highlight. he dominated the toughest event to win for almost a decade. the question shouldn’t be ‘why did he lose his last race’, the question should be, ‘ how did he win every other race? ’

durant is back in a groove at just the right time, shooting 53 percent in the warriors’ last five games. that christmas day showdown in cleveland cannot get here fast enough for all involved, but especially durant (24. 8 points, 8. 2 rebounds, 4. 6 assists, 1. 2 blocks in his last five games) .
look, gentlemen, i am here to tell you why he lost that race. i stand to be corrected. or let him in all sincerity come out and deny it. i believe i saw pictures of him frolicking with some ladies in a very ‘hot’ dance and all in what looked like a club or house party, the night before his final race. my strong belief is that he expended himself in that other race, (or races !) if you know what i mean, before his final race the following day. my take is: that was the sole reason why he lost. of course he would blame blocks, or age or pressure or whatever. but the real reason was to be found in his engagements the previous night !

“i saw a king, a crown of fire on his brows, burning…burning, davos. his own crown consumed his flesh and turned him into ash…do you think i need melisandre to tell me what that means? or you? ”
both are big - game competitors who are at their best when the lights are brightest, de grasse proving that at the 2015 world championships when, running out of lane 9 and in his 52nd race of an excruciatingly long season, captured bronze .
i watched the race. the horse injured his leg in the beginning third of the race. the jockey obviously knew and felt it but didn’t pull the horse up and get off. the jockey should be fired. the horse ran a ‘disappointing race’ because he was in great pain. what an amazingly brave horse. what a cowardly jockey. horse. didn’t need to put down. i would have taken him. fire the jockey! ! complete loser in life. he should be investigated and fined and not allowed on the back of a horse again. where is the racing commission ?

it’s also a chance for paul to remind the masses that he’s still in that conversation about the best point guards in the game. he’s been at his best when the clippers would appear to be vulnerable. when injuries and suspension limited griffin to just 35 games last season, paul turned in some of the finest work of his career .
bolt announced that he would retire after the championship. . the whole world wanted him to end on high. . he had never lost any major championships before. . this was his final race. . all these added an extra pressure on him. . we could see it on his face during finals. . pressure always gets best out of you or the worst. . latter in his case! !
the “horse lost” was european import permian, on u. s. soil for yesterday’s grade 1 secretariat stakes at arlington. the 3 - year - old was one of the pre - race favorites – hence mr. johnston’s “disappointment” in the last - place finish. the guardian said permian’s snapped leg was so bad that “he had to be destroyed. ”
“i am not your negro” reproduces and redoubles this effect. it doesn’t just make you aware of baldwin, or hold him up as a figure to be admired from a distance. you feel entirely in his presence, hanging on his every word, following the implications of his ideas as they travel from his experience to yours. at the end of the movie, you are convinced that you know him. and, more important, that he knows you. to read baldwin is to be read by him, to feel the glow of his affection, the sting of his scorn, the weight of his disappointment, the gift of his trust .
but with his diminishing performance came diminishing enjoyment in the spectacle of the race. in the 2016 documentary “i am bolt, ” he said, “it’s not as fun as it used to be. the older i get, the less fun it is. ”
mr. gianforte, 56, was widely seen as a favorite to win against rob quist, a democrat and country music singer. but he seemed to imperil his own candidacy in the final hours of the race after he manhandled a journalist for the guardian .
but prospects that the incident would tip the race to mr. quist were complicated by montana’s early - voting tradition: more than half the estimated total ballots had already been returned .
once famous for his creation of popular computer anti - virus software, john mcafee has become infamous for the legal troubles he has experienced for the last two years that have kept him on the run. he is settling down now and is
tired of running .
if an equine insurance policy was in place it would have been valued at permian’s earnings so that would be about $ 600, 000 minimum because usually it’s more like 1 million considering his stallion potential, and that’s where they were heading initially because he was still a colt. so if he came up with a physical issue after his last race in france, only the connections would be privy to that. if they risked running him it could have reduced his equine insurance policy value if he didn’t perform. so it seems plausible, like many international horses that ship here and die, that he was brought here to die. it doesn’t make sense with all the stake races in europe that they would ship this colt thousands of miles to u. s soil where he dies, and an insurance policy was most likely paid out. the connections had a choice, if he had a physical condition after his last race, then the choice was a reduced equine insurance policy with his entire stallion career in jeopardy or make sure he dies during the race which is usually a condition for these high end equine insurance policies. this possible scenario seems to fit all the pieces of the puzzle, and if this is true then this is so typical of the dirty world of horse racing where racehorses lives are nothing more than a disposable commodity .
republican groups, concerned about the growing backlash to mr. trump, poured more than twice as much money into the race as democrats. the spending was initially a precaution. but republican officials grew nervous after mr. quist, 69, caught fire with progressive activists, who eventually helped him raise over $ 6 million, narrowing the funding disparity in the race .

i reminded obama that, eight years ago, when i was interviewing him about race, he had been somewhat elusive throughout our official session but afterward had tracked me down in the building to remind me how complicated it was for him to talk about the subject. a stray word about race could be as explosive as a stray word about the financial markets. he remembered .
and ramsay is just part of the machinery of television. a status quo was developed in the last four seasons wherein joffrey is a monster we all love to hate and sansa is his hapless victim. given the viewing figures to deliver what is popular, they attempted to recreate that with the stakes raised even higher with ramsay as a terminator and sansa his unwilling bride .

his 30 - point game streak ended at four after a 15 - point effort (on 6 - for - 20 shooting) in tuesday’s win over brooklyn. look for a big bounce back effort when derozan matches up against jazz star gordon hayward tonight in utah (28. 2 points, 3. 8 rebounds, 3. 2 assists in his last five games) .
harden has already put together 16 games with 25 or more points and 10 or more assists, tops in the league. by comparison, last season' s league - leader, russell westbrook, had a total of 17 such games. harden' s stint at point guard, which looked like a novelty act early on this season, suddenly looks like so much more (26. 0 points, 12. 2 assists, 9. 2 rebounds in his last five games) .
rep. charles rangel, the lion of harlem, roared one last time tuesday night, beating back a fierce challenge from state sen. adriano espaillat to claim a 23rd and final term in congress .
i totally respect his decision to retire and simultaneously wouldn' t be surprised to see him in the next olympics. happened with lance, happened with phelps. when you are that good, that time off gives you enough in the tank for one last push to cap off your career .

steph couldn’t find his range in brooklyn thursday night, going 6 - for - 19 overall and 3 - for - 13 on 3 - pointers. but the warriors will need better from the reigning two - time kia mvp on christmas in cleveland (19. 4 points, 6. 4 assists, 4. 4 rebounds, 2. 0 steal in his last five games) .
he' s also raising his profile with a new incubator that could be the last stab at relevance and respectability for the 69 - year - old mcafee, who has been described as

while espaillat tried to win over voters by arguing it was time for change, and by pointing to his immigrant roots and the historic nature of his candidacy, rangel maintained that his experience made him better qualified to represent the district, which spans upper manhattan and the bronx .
even before its ugly conclusion, the race in montana, a state that has long mixed conservatism with populism, had evolved into an early referendum on mr. trump and the republican health care bill .
furthermore, if the others are already there in front of his face, laying siege to his castle and threatening his men, family, and the realm, then there is very little happening in the way of faith. it almost completely cuts out stannis choosing to put his faith in melisandre’s prophecy or magic. the evidence is right there, happening in front of him .

the sacrifice loses all of its thematic strength by leading so directly and obviously to his destruction. the snow does melt, but half his men desert, his wife commits suicide, his most zealous backer and greatest remaining asset grabs the last horse in camp and runs, and of course the weather that he bought makes it viable for the deserters to run and means he’s exposed and easily found by the boltons. i’d wonder if he had such a shitty disposition of his troops in the battle scene was him committing suicide in the only way that his sense of duty would allow him, but i don’t know if d & d get him even that well…or maybe they understand tactic well enough to see how bad that looked. i’m don’t know tactics but stannis’ troops were obviously just a mob in that overview .
the legendary jamaican sprinter suffered an injury saturday in london in the final race of his career. bolt was running the anchor leg for jamaica in the 4 x 100 - meter relay final at the 2017 world championships in athletics when he suffered a leg cramp, collapsed to the track and ultimately left in tears .
even that last moment between barry and iris was excellent. iris has really grown on me, and their first kiss was really well done. it was bitter - sweet and real, and for once in these shows it felt natural and good to watch romance play out on screen. it was all the better due to barry' s decision right after to go and save his mom and change his life forever .

“he’s the problem, ” corry bliss, who runs a “super pac” aligned with house republicans, said of mr. gianforte. when the contest began, mr. bliss said, private polling showed that mr. gianforte was as unpopular as he was popular, a leftover result of his failed campaign for governor last year .

patrick – i read all the comments in the bloodhorse last night regarding this breakdown. apparently – the horse looked off much earlier in the race and there are many people questioning that the jockey didn’t pull the horse up – and instead kept pushing him and hitting and whipping him. there are very many people upset over this – and i even noted a comment that questioned why we still abuse horses for entertainment. people are starting to notice .
on thursday, some of his republican supporters vented publicly at their candidate even before the polls closed .
that night in charlotte, obama was even more energetic at the microphone. there was not one visible trump supporter to divert him or the crowd. he unspooled the usual litany of trump’s violations of fact and human dignity. the race was personal to him, it seemed, and not merely because trump threatened his legacy .
tuesday' s race was a rematch of the 2012 primary between rangel and espaillat, a contest that rangel pulled out by a little more than 1, 000 votes. the replay was supposed to be just as challenging ,

it is my understanding that most women of child - bearing age who have problems with infertility still experience a regular menstrual cycle, so dany experiencing this is no indicator. in her last adwd chapter, dany confirms that this is case for her by trying to remember when the last time it happened was. i can’t quote text where i am, but it was obvious that she expected a regular timing to it and was worried that it seemed the wrong time in the moon’s cycle. imo the facts that the blood comes at the wrong time, and she can’t remember when the last one was are a better indicator that she is fertile. i think that she’d just miscarried dario’s kid .

the locals knew him by his real name of eric blair, a tall, cadaverous, sad - looking man worrying about how he would cope on his own. the solution, when he was joined by baby richard and his nanny, was to recruit his highly competent sister, avril. richard blair remembers that his father

baldwin is a double character in mr. peck’s film. the elegance and gravity of his formal prose, and the gravelly authority of mr. jackson’s voice, stand in contrast to his quicksilver on - camera presence as a lecturer and television guest. in his skinny tie and narrow suit, an omnipresent cigarette between his fingers, he imports a touch of midcentury intellectual cool into our overheated, anti - intellectual media moment .

“we’ve lost the horse. he suffered a catastrophic fracture of his left fore. i was with him on the track for 30 seconds. he was in the process of running a very disappointing race and i believe it was when he was winding down that it happened. ” – mark johnston, trainer of permian, as quoted in the guardian

air force one landed at fort bragg and the motorcade headed to a gym packed with supporters at fayetteville state university. in shirtsleeves and with crisp, practiced enthusiasm, obama delivered his campaign stump speech. his appeal for clinton was rooted in the preservation of his own legacy. “all the progress that we’ve made these last eight years, ” he said, “goes out the window if we don’t win this election! ” he revived some of his early tropes, cautioning the crowd not to be “bamboozled” by the g. o. p. —an echo from malcolm x—and recited the litany of trump’s acts of disrespect toward blacks, women, muslims, the disabled, gold star parents .
usually usain bolt would finish the 100 meter in 9. 6 seconds with 41 steps. this time he took 43 steps or strides. thefore his power to stride ratio has decreased by 4. 0% . this is due his age factor where usain bolt' s body has more fat than when he was in his twenties .
if we consider what results flow from the cooper institute, for instance, to the best portion of the race in new york not possessed of means, and compare these with those which would have arisen for the good of the masses from an equal sum distributed by mr. cooper in his lifetime in the form of wages, which is the highest form of distribution, being for work done and not for charity, we can form some estimate of the possibilities for the improvement of the race which lie embedded in the present law of the accumulation of wealth. much of this sum if distributed in small quantities among the people, would have been wasted in the indulgence of appetite, some of it in excess, and it may be doubted whether even the part put to the best use, that of adding to the comforts of the home, would have yielded results for the race, as a race, at all comparable to those which are flowing and are to flow from the cooper institute from generation to generation. let the advocate of violent or radical change ponder well this thought .
stannis might call a great council to determine succession. he might do his duty with his wife more or would sire a child elsewhere out of duty. perhaps he might legitimize one of his brother’s bastards, if he takes the it edric would probably return. personally i hope edric ends up being legitimized so the baratheons don’t die out .

as entertaining as triple - double russ has been this season, westbrook’s back - to - back 40 - point, 10 - rebound, seven - assist games this week show off his whirlwind ability just as much. tonight’s matchup against boston celtics all - star guard isaiah thomas (7: 30 et, nba league pass) should be spectacular (32. 2 points, 9. 4 assists, 8. 8 rebounds, 1. 0 steals in his last five games) .
