    Her excuses are ridiculous. She’s not good and she doesn’t put in the work. What BS.

      Yes Sharapova by all means, let’s continue to play the victim; perpetuating the racist and false “big, black & scary” meme to try and divert attention away from your mediocrity. She is the Taylor Swift of the women’s professional tennis circuit. Serena is off the circuit enjoying her new baby, living life like it’s golden, and this doped up trick still can’t win a tennis match. Please have a god damn stadium full of seats!

    The credit reporting firm Equifax says a giant cybersecurity breach compromised the personal information of as many as 143 million Americans — almost half the country.

    Cyber criminals have accessed sensitive information — including names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses and the numbers of some driver’s licenses.

    Additionally, Equifax said that credit card numbers for about 209,000 US customers were exposed, as was “personal identifying information” on roughly 182,000 US customers involved in credit report disputes. Residents in the UK and Canada were also impacted.

    The breach occurred between mid-May and July, Equifax said. The company said it discovered the hack on July 29.

    From Alt Natl Park Service:

    “By October of this year, the staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be reduced to levels not seen since the Reagan administration, 30 years ago.”

    VC, who would ever have believed this? My prayer is by mid-October, this entire administration and 3/4 of the GOP are all in the slammer.

      In answer to ‘Who would ever have believed this?’
      Not me, MP! To date I’ve still not been able to lift my jaw off the political floor at the daily proof that one evil man an his accomplices could brazenly do so much harm so quickly and unrelentlessly in the ‘ greatest nation’ in 2017. I would never have believed it if I hadn’t been witnessing it with my own eyes and ears. The promise of possible impeachment somewhere down the road just doesn’t cut it for me given all the havoc he’s creating *now*. The theory of U.S. greatness (sad to say) has been completely shattered for me.

        {{{VC }}} you have very succinctly said exactly what I’ve been trying to say in an email. I can barely stand to go online anymore, every page shows his ugliness, and the hatefilled greed of those who surround and support him. It’s too intense to be believeable. However, in my heart I feel the true and good people of this country are just not going to allow them victory. We will hold fast to the vision we were given by PBO and MO, and they have taught us well. Now we shoulder the load and walk the long road ahead with the same courage and determination both those fine people demonstrated for years and years and years. Somehow they made it look easy, while we are grunting and groaning under the weight! We shall get there, all together. And this devastation will never find a toehold again. Keep You The Heart, ❤️🙏🏻

          In the innermost part of my psyche, MP, despite how shocked I’ve been I want to believe ‘we shall get there, all together’. So with you and the family here (and out there in America & the sane world) I whisper

          ‘Keep You The Heart’ ❤️🙏🏻

    Way cool post from my nephew Katisse!! He also played all the flute tracks in Anchorman (1)…

    “A fun day yesterday! Got to play on the project “Luther Vandross Reimagined” put together by Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest) & Adrian Younge. Taking Luther’s beautiful original vocal tracks and adding new flavor with super funky rhythm tracks and a 25 piece chamber orchestra. These same two gentleman deftly write the music to Netflix’s Luke Cage and we are recording the music to season 2 now. :)))”

    It struck off the Pacific Coast 74 miles southwest of Tres Picos, Mexico. Tres Picos is 600 miles southeast of Mexico City.
