This is so bent. Democrats fought for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, labor laws, anti-pollution laws, voting rights, food-safety standards, equal pay—all to make this a better country and all over GOP opposition. Show some frickin' gratitude for that.
Kyle Clark asked Colorado GOP candidate for governor Victor Marx whether voters should believe he’s lived "one of the most extraordinary lives in human history," or whether he’s "a liar and a fraud."
John Oliver: “That might be the first event in history won by the moderator.”
In 2018, 13-year-old Jaequan Faulkner of Minneapolis, Minnesota, started a small hot dog stand called “Mr. Faulkner's Old Fashioned Hot Dogs” in front of his home.
When local authorities received complaints that he was operating without a permit, the city's Health Department chose not to shut him down.
Instead, inspectors worked with him to meet food safety requirements, provided guidance and equipment, and even pooled their own money to cover the $87 permit fee after he passed inspection.
The community quickly rallied behind Jaequan's entrepreneurial spirit, and his hot dog stand became a local success story.
The city also connected him with a nonprofit organization that helped him learn valuable business, marketing, and financial skills.
His story gained national attention as an example of officials supporting a young entrepreneur rather than discouraging him, turning a potential setback into an opportunity for growth and success.
On Wednesday, world chess champion Garry Kasparov tied Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer that can examine two hundred million positions per second, in the fourth game of their six-game series.
Earlier in the week, Kasparov admitted he committed a catastrophic blunder in game two, when he failed to force a draw by moving rook to E8. Opting instead for a Caro-Kann Defense, that soon transposed into a Pribyl defense. Which, after Deep Blue moved bishop to E7, gave him the advantage with his Knight position.
With all due respect to Mister Kasparov... what the hell were you thinking?!?
