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.
In 2016, when CBS News assigned Gayle King, a donor, supporter and friend of the Obama family, to interview the President and his wife before the Super Bowl, the network guaranteed one of the softest interviews in the history of this administration. Asking not one serious question, the journalist instead highlighted her favorite photo of the President and his wife. King also brought up dance moves, relationship issues and Super Bowl predictions.
Budweiser Vice President Ricardo Marques (pictured) said: ‘This commercial shows the start of Budweiser’s journey, and while it is set in the 1800s, it’s a story we believe will resonate with today’s entrepreneurial generation’
The dismal Oscar ratings for the 2016 telecast might look glorious after this year’s Trump-era show.
“I would be shocked but not surprised if she just stopped a song and went on an anti-Trump rant, but I don’t think it’s going to happen, because that’s very much a bridge-burning move,” Aswad said. “But at least as many people, if not more, would support a move like that than be angry with her for it.”
People representing more than a half-dozen protest groups that are set to march and rally here Super Bowl weekend met to coordinate their efforts — in a way New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick would have appreciated. That is to say, the protesters discussed using encrypted communication that would keep opponents from intercepting their messages.
“The order provides a reasonably conceivable state of facts (which concerns national security and) that could provide a rational basis for the classification,” he wrote. “Accordingly, this Court declines to encroach upon the “delicate policy judgment” inherent in immigration decisions.”
U.S. District Court Judge James Robart ruled in favor of the attorneys general of Washington state and Minnesota on a lawsuit they brought seeking to overturn the order limiting travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.
As the Boston judge explained, the Supreme Court provided that rational basis review merely means the law “bears some fair relationship to a legitimate public purpose.” The Supreme Court made clear rational basis review “is not a license for courts to judge the wisdom, fairness or logic of legislative choices.” (Heller v. Doe by Doe, 509 U.S. 312 (1993).
Again, this is all just on the restraining order. If the emergency stay is granted, the travel ban will continue until there is a decision on the merits of the case.
THIS CORRUPT TRASH IS PUNCHING WAY OUT OF HER WEIGHT CLASS AGAINST KELLYANNE
THAT’S GONNA LEAVE A MARK
Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse found evidence that liberal protesters at the Supreme Court Tuesday were ready to protest any nominee put forward by President Donald Trump.
“This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley,” Mike Wright of Berkeley College Republicans, the group that invited Yiannopoulos to the campus, said outside the student union building as smoke bombs went off around him.
President Donald Trump reacted to the massive rioting at UC-Berkeley in response to a scheduled campus speech by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
Many of those who had abandoned the old camp in the floodplain moved to higher ground, which happens to belong to the company building the pipeline.
WHERE THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?
DADDY’S HAIRLESS SUNKEN CHEST SWELLS WITH PRIDE FOR HIS BABY GIRL
Gleibermann concedes that in recent years “Oscar-night advocacy has become, more often than not, a breed of self-abrogating kitsch…conforming to what I’m tempted to call the Susan Sarandon Principle: The bigger the star, the more off-putting — and therefore ineffective — the display of high-minded compassion.”
Since January 20, many Americans have been daydreaming about the possibility of rebuilding the government from the ground up, like an episode of Designated Survivor. But as fun as it would be to watch Democrats tantrum their way into blocking Judge Neil Gorsuch‘s Supreme Court nomination, it’s a bad idea and would follow in the Republicans’ dangerous precedent.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, once again, delayed voting Tuesday morning on the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general, pushing it back to Wednesday.
A Democratic boycott couldn’t prevent President Trump’s cabinet picks for Treasury and health from gaining approval by the Senate Finance Committee.
The unusual act of defiance was all the more remarkable considering Yates, a DOJ veteran who is 56 years old, only assumed that role Jan. 20, when the administrations changed.
Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it. Homan is the Washington bureaucrat in charge of rounding up, detaining and kicking illegal immigrants out of the country.
In the span of just a couple of hours, President Trump fired a weak acting Attorney General and named her replacement. Dana Boente is the new acting Attorney General until Senator Jeff Sessions is confirmed.
