In an unprecedented event, Northwest Missouri State University wins a 6th NCAA Division 2 title

Northwest Missouri State wins second straight national championship at Children's Mercy Park

Northwest Missouri entered Saturday's championship game on a 29-game winning streak and with one of the highest scoring offenses in the country. They were held at bay for most of the first half, however, by a stout North Alabama defense and the frigid conditions. It was 13 degrees at kickoff with a -4 windchill.

Adam Dorrel’s side was held at bay for 29 minutes but broke through with 58 seconds left in the second quarter. Jordan Grove took a shovel pass from Randy Schmidt and ran seven yards for the first score of the game. North Alabama answered quickly, though, with a field goal just before halftime.

The weather worsened in the second half as the wind picked up causing the snow to swirl around the stadium. The Bearcats were not to be denied, however, and put in a dominant second half performance. Phil Jackson ran for two scores as Northwest Missouri scored 22 unanswered points to cap the game.

Huffington Post An Open Letter To Mr. Trump: WTF Is Wrong With You!?

Dear Mr. Trump:

I refer to you as “Mr” because I do not recognize you as my president. Or anyone’s president for that matter. You lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, more than any president in United States history. And with the likely help of Russian hacks, oppressive voter ID laws, other acts of voter suppression and election fraud, and an embarrassingly neutered media, you squeaked out a measly 306 electoral votes, placing you in the bottom fifth of all presidents ever.

But in true Trumpian fashion, you’ve boasted of a “massive landslide victory.” Sorry, pal. The only “landslide” was Hillary Clinton’s, as she received more votes than any president in history except for Barack Obama in 2008. One thing’s for sure though: you were right about the election being “rigged.” For you.

Now that we’ve gotten the niceties out of the way, let me ask the most obvious question: what the fuck is wrong with you!? Seriously, do you not give a shit about your legacy, if not for yourself, at least for your kids, grandkids and future generations of Trumps? If your goal is to beat James Buchanan as the worst president in history, well then Mazel Tov, as you’re halfway there and you’ve still got five weeks till inauguration day!

Let’s start with your cabinet picks. You were supposed to drain the swamp, not restock it with self-serving corporate billionaires and other uber-rich insiders and cronies. You’ve appointed a banana-republic-worthy gaggle of unqualified, inexperienced, intellectually un-curious sexists/misogynists, racists, stabbers (ok, just one knifer, Ben Carson), fake-news-spreaders and Russian sympathizers. And your alt-right white nationalist advisor Steve Bannon sits atop this basket of deplorables. This is your idea of populism!?

Ivanka Trumps Boots Are Getting Some Interesting Reviews On Amazon

Of the myriad ways to express disappointment with the outcome of the 2016 election, detractors are finding a clever outlet to attack Donald Trump and the Trump brand: Amazon.

Tricky Internet jokesters are inundating the review page for a pair of Ivanka Trump’s bootswith 1-star posts, conspicuously threading their punny political opinions throughout.

“Every time I tried to express my opinions, I was horrified to find myself bellowing, “HEIL TRUMP!” one use wrote. “Very embarrassing.”

“BUYER BEWARE!” another warned. “These boots are some sort of port key or wrinkle in the space time continuum. I put them on and I was transported back to Berlin in 1933.”

Some of the comments worked in references to Trump’s comments that he would date his daughter were she not, you know, his daughter, with one review titled, “These boots will make your dad want to ^&%& you.”

“Did you ever feel like crap because your dad hasn’t told the world he’d be ‘dating’ you if you weren’t his daughter?” the review asks. “Just slip into these hot, stylish boots with sexy high heels to get Daddy’s attention and praise for your hot bod — if he’s not too busy grabbing other women (those *&^*%s!) (or America) by the p——!”

I have an interview Monday

I had a phone interview today and was asked if I could be available for a visit on Monday.

The interview today was called a screening, but the titles of the people I talked to were all high level managers. The position will be a little bit of a challenge but would involve stuff I have always been fascinated with and some of my long time passions.

I have had phone interviews and face to face interviews, but this just feels right.

If this falls in place and our house sells, I will be on top of the world.

Sat next to a trumper on the plane today who actually believes trump is going to solve our problem

He was just sure that ythe economy was going to skyrocket on January 20th. I said, I remember reaganomics differently.

He just kept insisting that it was going to be great. They are dumber that they look.

Users of Airbnb, the housing share site, are pulling their listings in the DC area

Users of Airbnb, the housing share site, are pulling their listings because they don’t want Trumpsters staying in their homes.

Thanks To Capitalism, It Just Got A Lot Harder For Trump Supporters To Attend Inauguration
By


Just like with every presidential inauguration year, Washington, D.C. will become complete chaos during the week of the ceremony. Trump supporters, though, might find it a lot more difficult to find places to stay, though. Users of Airbnb, the housing share site, are pulling their listings because they don’t want Trumpsters staying in their homes.

Most in the country expected that it would be Hillary Clinton who would be inaugurated on January 20th, so the town was pretty well booked with Democrats. Unfortunately, the mostly blue city was slapped with a dose of Electoral College reality and those reservations are being cancelled in droves, but the people who were set to make bank by renting out their homes aren’t necessarily putting the listings back up, at least not for the inauguration.

Donald Trump Is Puzzled About All This Russia Hacking Stuff

Unless you catch "hackers" in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn't this brought up before election?
