Stanley Cup Game 6; Tonight in St. Louis; Blues lead series 3 - 2. One game away from their first Cup.

NHL.com: Stanley Cup Game 6 preview and Game 5 Recap. 

Game 5 Final Score: Blues 2 - Bruins 1

My prediction for Game 5 was Blues 4, Bruins 3. I picked the winning team, but not the right final score. Oh well, I'll take that.

 

Should the Blues win tonight, expect the ground under St. Louis to liquefy due to the celebrating, causing an earthquake with rolling aftershocks hitting all four corners of the country. Inside Enterprise Center...the decibel level tonight? Man...a level that will make an AC/DC concert seem subdued and reserved by comparison.

Predictions

Oddsshark predicted final score: Boston 3.2 - St. Louis 2.2

Game 6, Blues on Home Ice. I originally predicted this series will go all seven games. I'll maintain that prediction.

But I'd sure like to see the Blues win their first Stanley Cup - in 52 years.

My Prediction: Blues 3 - Bruins 2 in OT.

Game 6, 7PM Eastern Time - FREE! - on broadcast NBC.

Go Blues! Happy Hockey.

Will any DEM candidates match President Trump's donation?

Who will be the first DEM candidate to match President Trump's donation? Other than Pete Whathisname, almost every DEM presidential candidate is a millionaire several times over. Pony up, cheap bastards.

Man sought guns, grenades for attack on New York's Times Square.

TVNZ News Now: Man sought guns, grenades for attack on New York's Times Square, prosecutors say.

A New York City man accused of plotting a terrorist attack on Times Square spent months trying to stockpile guns and grenades, heaped praise on the Islamic State group and Osama bin Laden, and feared being known as the "Looney Tunes Terrorist" if his glasses fell off and he couldn't shoot straight, federal prosecutors said today.

Ashiqul Alam was arrested yesterday after arranging through an undercover agent to buy a pair of semiautomatic pistols with obliterated serial numbers, prosecutors said. Police Commissioner James O'Neill said that development was "a clear indicator of (Alam's) intent to move his plot forward."

Despite the grave allegations, the 22-year-old Alam is charged only with offences [sic] related to the gun transaction. He did not enter a plea at an arraignment yesterday and was ordered jailed without bail. Prosecutors argued he was a flight risk and a danger to the community.
[.]
Court documents describe months of plotting for an attack Alam told an undercover agent would make them "legends."

Alam spoke of plotting to kill civilians and law enforcement officers in Times Square and targeting a senior government official in Washington, according to the documents.

He talked about wanting to "shoot down" gays, referring to them with a slur; using a "rocket launcher, like a huge one," to cause havoc at the World Trade Centre; and obtaining an enhanced driver's licence so he could walk onto a military base and "blow it up," the documents said.

Alam, born in Bangladesh, moved to the US as a child about 12 years ago and has been living in Queens as a legal permanent resident, prosecutors said.

Tech Writer Peter Bright, aka DrPizza, arrested for soliciting sex with children.

Ars Technia writer Peter Bright

Ars Technia stories by Peter Bright, destined soon to be an "oops, that page can't be found".

Daily Dot: Tech reporter charged with soliciting child sex online.

Warning: This article contains graphic sexual language.

Tech reporter Peter Bright has been arrested for soliciting sex with children online. He was employed by Ars Technica until recently.

A federal complaint alleges that Bright sought to molest a 7- and 9-year-old and met with an undercover agent for this purpose, at which point he was arrested. It also states that Bright claimed to be in a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old. He is currently being held without bail.

According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, an undercover FBI special agent made contact with Bright on KinkD, a social media fetish platform, on April 18.

Bright, using the handle “randomanon,” had responded to a message the agent posted a day prior in which she purported to be a mother seeking to connect with people who could teach her children about “birds and the bees.”

The complaint states that in subsequent messages, the agent informed Bright that she had a 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son.

At Bright’s urging, the two then began chatting via WhatsApp, which continued for a few weeks. At times using euphemisms, Bright reportedly wrote of molesting both children and raping the 7-year-old. He also allegedly sent pictures of his penis, and photos of test results showing he did not have any sexually transmitted diseases.

According to the complaint, both consistently referred to his plans to molest the children as “teaching” them “lessons,” and Bright described how he would begin slowly and move on to more intense sexual activity.

 On his Twitter account, he went by the name "DrPizza" and described himself as, "Poly/pan/pervy. He/Him". 

And...yeah, you absolutely guessed it! He's a Flaming Lib as reflected in his Twitter account: 

No, Dr Pizza, it doesn't mean you can murder republicans and use the "conservative panic" defence." However, I'm guessing gen pop is preparing to give you a proper welcoming.

As of this publishing, his Twitter account is active.

Theresa May steps down.

And on time!

India Today: Theresa May steps down as party chief, igniting leadership race.

British Prime Minister Theresa May stepped down as leader of the governing Conservatives on Friday, officially triggering a contest to replace her that could see her party embrace a tougher stance on Brexit.

Theresa May announced she would step down last month after failing to deliver Britain's departure from the European Union on time, deepening a political crisis in a divided country struggling to move on from a 2016 referendum on Brexit.

She will continue to work as prime minister until her party elects a new leader, a crowded race that will be defined by Brexit and competing approaches on how to deliver Britain's biggest foreign policy shift in more than 40 years.

"For the remainder of her time in office, she will be building on the domestic agenda that she has put at the heart of her premiership," her spokeswoman told reporters.

Those pesky "domestic agendas". They're such an endless to-do list.

I wonder if she ever found that charming Brexit chap?

Left to right is: First Lady Melania Trump, President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and, standing off-side to herself, Macron's wife Brigitte.

What's the story of her standing at such a distance? If it had been Mrs. Trump, the MSM and armchair psychologists would be having a field day assessing the meaning of her "isolation". Why isn't Mrs. Macron standing with the rest of the group?

DEMS Triggered by Trump 4th of July speech. Hoyer, McGollum and Grijalva send letter attacking event.

There would be no political entertainment value if not for the DEMS. It takes nothing to trigger these people.

The May 13, 2019 screen cap is from The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic:

This issue resurfaced, not-at-all coincidentally in The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic via The Duuluth News-Tribune: House Democrats attack Trump's plans to speak at Fourth of July celebration.

House Democratic leaders are protesting President Donald Trump's decision to place himself at the center of the national Fourth of July celebration on the Mall, saying his planned speech at the Lincoln Memorial would waste taxpayer dollars and impart a partisan flavor to what has traditionally been an apolitical event.

In a letter sent Tuesday to the president, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. - joined by Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources, and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies - said the event "could create the appearance of a televised, partisan campaign rally on the Mall at public expense."

Did DEMS say they're concerned about wasting taxpayers dollars? Their sanctimony truly has no boundaries. It makes you feel secure, doesn't it, that these Patriotic DEMS have a watchful eye on our money that they spend.

The Daily Signal: Past 4th of July speeches given by presidents. Why, Bill Clinton, JFK, FDR and others are among them! And...that pretend president Kenyan guy Pbama who occupied the White House for eight years.

QUARTZ: Elegant July 4th speeches by past presidents of both parties remind us of what makes America great.

The two-page letter signed by Hoyer, McGollum, Grijalva (who dis?)

Steny Hoyer signs his name; his biggest achievement in over 50 years.

Give the speech as planned,President Trump, from the Lincoln Memorial on July 4. The End.

Stanley Cup Game 5; Tonight in Boston. Series tied 2 - 2.

Barclay, the St. Louis Blues' dog training for a greater mission.

The Stanley Cup series is tied, two games each for Boston and St. Louis. Game 4 Recap here.

Monday's Game 4 final score was Blues 4, Boston 2.

My Prediction for Game 4 was: Blues 3 - Bruins 1. While my final score prediction was wrong, I did accurately pick the winner of the game. I'll give myself one point for that.

Game 5 tonight, 8PM Eastern Time in Boston and it's on FREE network NBC-TV. FREE! It's FREE! Of course, you'll have to sit through television commercials which pay for the FREE broadcast, but you likely already own a fleet of Lincolns for no other reason than Matthew McConaughey drives them.

Monday's Game 4, statistically - or for trivia purposes - was the first Stanley Cup game EVER won by St. Louis, in St. Louis. Kinda neat.

Game 5 - ESPN: What to watch for.

Predictions:

Oddsshark has Bruins over Blues, 3.1 - 2.4. 

Playing on Home Ice...Boston will probably win tonight. I'll be contrarian I'm often told I am:

My Prediction: Blues 4, Bruins 3

GO Blues! Happy Hockey!

D-Day June 6, 1944: 75 years later.

"You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle."
 – Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower from National D Day Memorial

History On The Net: D-Day; The Invasion of Normandy

The D-Day landing of June 6, 1944, ranks as the boldest and most successful large-scale invasion in military history.

On June 6, as Operation Overlord went forward, roughly 160,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel, supported by seven thousand ships and boats, and landed on the coast of Normandy. The seaborne invasion included nearly 5,000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers. They established a beachhead from which the Germans were unable to dislodge them. Within ten days, there were half a million troops ashore, and within three weeks there were two million.

For the final 200 yards on the water, the German machine guns would already have been riddling their Higgins boats. Then, unceremoniously dumped into frigid, churning water, colleagues exploding in blood all around them, they would have found themselves finally on dry ground but without refuge from the Nazi weapons.

Weighted with wet clothes and hefty equipment, they had to make it 400 yards through flesh-ripping fire. In gym shorts and track shoes, most of these men might make it in about 80 seconds after a lung-busting run. Now imagine trying it with 60 pounds on your back or in your arms. And do it while running into the horrors of mechanized firepower.

Bigfoot; Declassified by The FBI.

We knew all along.

Yahoo News: The truth is out there: FBI releases its file on Bigfoot.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday released a correspondence file containing the results of tests it performed on a tissue sample alleged to be from Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch — a purported human-like creature that was sporadically reported to be roaming the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest.
[.]
“Will you kindly, to set the record straight, once and for all, inform us if the FBI has examined hair which might be that of a Bigfoot; when this took place; if it did take place; what the results of the analysis were,” Peter Byrne, director of the Bigfoot Information Center, wrote in a letter to the bureau.
[.]
The FBI said it had no record of conducting such tests. (Ah, The old Roswell Ploy. - D.D.)
[.]
But in a subsequent letter addressed to Byrne, dated Dec. 15. 1976, Jay Cochran Jr., assistant director of the FBI’s Scientific and Technical Services division, told him to send the sample to the FBI Laboratory in Washington.

“The FBI Laboratory conducts examinations primarily of physical evidence for law enforcement agencies in connection with criminal investigations,” Cochran wrote. “Occasionally, on a case-by-case basis, in the interest of research and scientific inquiry, we make exceptions to this general policy. With this understanding, we will examine the hairs and tissue mentioned in your letter.”

Three months later, the FBI reported the results of its tests.

“The hairs are of deer family origin,” Cochran wrote.

Sasquatch-Deer? Deer-Sasquatch? ManBearPig! That's it!

Check out this screen grab from a headline search using Duckduckgo of "Trump protest in London":

The URL of the Daily Mail Story also states "hundreds of thousands anti-Trump protesters":

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7102067/Hundreds-thousands-anti-Trump-protesters-gather-London.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490

"Hundreds of thousands"? "250,000"?! 

Then the actual story Daily Mail headline: 

Ranting Corbyn accuses Trump of 'creating a sense of hate' but refuses to mention the President by name - as tens of thousands of protesters FAIL to show up for demonstration[.] 

"Whaaaat"? They must mean hundreds of thousands failed to show up.

Hit the Daily Mail link. Plenty of images. Look like hundreds of thousands to you?

The MSM chooses to promote one side of this story. Why would we think, or expect, anything different.

Sometimes DM gets it right:

NY Daily News: Smaller crowds turn out to protest Trump.

Thank you, NYDN. "Smaller crowds" is it.

Penis-lawn mowing greets Trump in UK.

In your interest, consider this NSFW:

The Guardian: Eighteen-year-old Ollie Nancarrow mowed a giant phallus into a field to greet Donald Trump as the US president flew into Stansted airport this morning.

[Nancarrow isn't] the first to employ such imagery[.]
[.]
As Air Force One approached Stansted on Monday morning, it is nice to think of President Trump looking down to see his first words of welcome from the United Kingdom, “OI TRUMP”, mown into the grass of an Essex field beside a penis and testicles.

I'd take that welcoming as a compliment. The President probably did too. Now, had it been Hillary, I wonder if anyone would have bothered mowing a giant...Smiley Face...yeah...into the lawn?

Stanley Cup Game 4; Tonight in St. Louis. Series: BOS 2 - STL 1

Saturday's Game 3 of the NHL Stanley Cup had Boston winning 7 to 2 over St. Louis. P1 ended with a score of the Bruins leading the Blues 3 - 0. The Blues picked up a goal in P2 while the Bruins picked up two. Going into P3, the score was 5 - 1, the Blues managed one goal while Boston nailed two more.

St. Louis couldn't catch or make a break for themselves on Monday night and Boston was on top of their game. Blues' defense was sluggish, which is in keeping with their inconsistent play during regular-season. Some nights they had it (defense), other nights they didn't.

Game 3 Final Score: Bruins 7 - Blues 2.

My Game 3 Score Prediction: Blues 5 - Bruins 2. I'm 0 for 3; on a roll!

White Supremacist's Biden and Cuomo enjoy fundraising from other old White Men, of whom we may also presume are White Democrats Supremacists.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is preparing for a June fundraising blitz in New York, where he will be joined by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the investor Jim Chanos.

The main event of Biden’s trip will be at Chanos’ home, according to people familiar with the matter. Cuomo will attend and introduce Biden.

Really now...Biden (Who dis?) needs no introduction. I wonder how much Cuomo's getting paid?

Fundraisers, by Two Old White Men given by people and organizations run by Old White Men. How pRogressive! They must really be impressing The Diverse and Tolerant Left.

Jim Chanos; Right hand duly noted White Supremacy gesture.

At least 10 people were killed and 52 others were wounded in a tragic outburst of Chicago gun violence over the weekend, according to police.

A Chicago police spokesperson told ABC News that 19 people had been arrested on gun-related charges between Friday and Sunday evening. A total of 81 illegal weapons were seized since Friday evening.

Police said 41 people were shot and seven were killed in the city during the previous weekend, according to the Sun-Times. 

Maybe pinhead, Pro gun-confiscation DEM presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand can fix this.

"I think the most outrageous thing that has happened to our democracy is how much fear and division and hate has been spread. I think the NRA is the worst organization in this country for doing exactly that. They care more about their profits than the American people," said Gillibrand.

"Promoting fear, division and hate." Sounds just like the Dogma of the Democrat Party.

Gillibrand: Nice Sieg Heil, there KriSSy. All that's missing is the little mustache and a Swastika shoulder patch.
