October: The Chicago Cubs come back from a 3 to 1 deficit to win their first championship in 108 years.
November: Donald Trump beats the odds and stuns the world by defeating the presumed next president and doing it handily.
February: The New England Patriots fell behind 28-3 before fighting back and ultimately winning Super Bowl 51 in stunning fashion.
There were many storylines to follow. What would Lady Gaga do? How disgusting and blatantly political would the commercials be? Would there be high drama when Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, handed MVP Tom Brady the trophy after suspending him for the first four games as a result of Deflategate? Turns out Gaga played the halftime show without the sermon on ‘diversity’, Goodell makes $41 million a year, so he couldn’t care less, and the commercials without political statements were precious and few.
Speaking of which, a singer who was with not one but two one-hit wonders passed away 4 years after suffering a brain aneurism. Sonny Geraci scored his first hit with The Outsiders and a song called ‘Time Won’t Let Me.’ It was one of the very first albums I got and I wore it out on my old record player.
He later hit #1 again with Climax and the tune played at a lot of weddings: ‘Precious and Few’.
His hair was considerably longer by then. Love the bell bottom pants.
That had nothing to do with anything, I just wanted to do it.

Protest Sign In Houston
Leftists Planning Nationwide Strike Against Trump For February 17
IF ALL THE LEFTISTS WENT ON STRIKE FOR A DAY, WOULD ANYBODY NOTICE?
But the trouble is that these protests are too easily ignored and forgotten by those who wish to ignore and forget them. The barriers go up, the march takes place, the barriers come down. Everyone goes home happier.
So, presumably in order to really achieve something, Prose says she believes that America should engage in “a nonviolent national general strike” of the kind more common in Europe than stateside.

Barbara Lee (D-CA): We’re Looking for a ‘Legal Mechanism’ to Remove Steve Bannon
BARBARA LEE: Reverend Al, may I pick up on one appointment of the administration, Steve Bannon? I just want to say how dangerous it is to have — a Nancy Pelosi described him as a white supremacist — sitting on the National Security Council. Members of Congress of the Progressive caucus, Black, Hispanic and Asian Pacific caucus, we sent a letter to President Trump and said that he should be removed from the National Security Council, but also, he should be removed from the White House.

Trump ready to crack the whip on GOP Congress
So far, the new president has been much more reserved when it comes to going after lawmakers. But several Republicans said it’s only a matter of time before Trump cracks the whip on Capitol Hill.
He’s already given rank-and-file lawmakers a taste of what could be coming if they don’t fall in line. Last month, a series of tweets from Trump derailed House Republicans’ plans to gut an independent congressional ethics office.

The movie I just recommended, Lincoln, is SO timely, telling the inside dirt on the passing of the 13th amendment, with a popular Republican president who was DETERMINED to get it done, a divided Republican majority, and a very hostile Democrat minority. Very interesting stuff! Fantastic cast and, as always with Spielberg and Kennedy, top notch production.

Pelosi Still Believes Democratic Policies Worked for Americans Under Obama
She went on further to say that it wasn’t about what we have done; it’s how we did not message it,” Pelosi responded, echoing a point that former President Obama frequently used to explain why Americans would disapprove of some of his policies.
“No, but [Warren] said no,” Todd interjected. “She actually said the opposite: It’s actually not about a new set of talking points; it’s actually about policies that aren’t working.”
“Well, but they have,” Pelosi said, arguing that her party’s policies from the Obama era have been working. “Let’s see the record. The record is what did we do.”

This woman is among the MOST delusional of Democrat leaders. I could show her the record, but she’d ignore it and continue repeating her Talking Points. That’s what she did to that border rancher who has to collect and bury the bodies coyotes leave on his property on a regular basis. “We are safer in sanctuary cities.” She should be committed for how out of touch with reality she is.

Cancel dinner plans. Send ‘nerd prom’ to the history books
The so-called nerd prom is a glitzy party — now a week-long blitz of related parties — in which Washington, Hollywood and New York media types schmooze it up with the public officials that some of them are supposed to cover, while looking over their shoulders to see whether Helen Mirren is really looking as fabulous as everyone says
Now, given President Trump’s disparagement of the news media as Enemy No. 1 —
“scum,” don’t you know — the idea of this show going on is an even worse idea. (Reminder: Trump’s chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon recently opined that the press “should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”)
And, indeed, over the past week, some cracks appeared in the event’s foundation:
Onstage at George Washington University, Trump’s press secretary said he didn’t know whether the president would attend.
HE WON’T ATTEND UNLESS HE’S A MASOCHIST

Democrats are now the party of ‘no.’ Is that enough to win back the country?
IF THE ECONOMY IMPROVES,PEOPLE GO BACK TO WORK;IF THE COUNTRY FEELS SAFER,GOOD LUCK
“Resist” is simple, punchy and clear — but it’s only the beginning of a strategy to revive the Democrats’ fortunes. It’s not enough to win the real prize, which is to regain a majority in the House or the Senate two years from now.
That’s a daunting challenge. Democrats need to win another 24 seats to take back the House, no easy job when gerrymandering has turned many districts into single-party strongholds. The Senate looks even more difficult, because an unusually high number of Democrats are up for reelection, 10 of them in states Trump won.

Added Gregory: “you’ve had in the first 18 days, successive weekends where he has completely derailed what his administration is trying to do with a kind of personal indulgence by attacking people personally, launching an attack on the separation of powers. But what it really comes down to is this obsession with himself, and I think that’s going to start to wear thin.”
