because they don't play baseball in Russia
José Andrés, a Trump critic, to throw first pitch at World Series game Trump is expected to attend
The Nationals announced Friday that D.C. restaurateur and humanitarian José Andrés will throw out the first pitch ahead of World Series Game 5 on Sunday, should the series extend that long.
On Thursday, President Trump announced that he planned to attend World Series Game 5. Andrés, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Spain, has been a longtime critic of the president’s views on immigrants and halted plans to open a restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington, spurring a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by the Trump Organization that was settled in April 2017.
In June 2018, after Trump disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from a planned White House celebration of the team’s Super Bowl championship, Andrés invited the Eagles to eat free at America Eats Tavern, his Georgetown restaurant.

Fox & Friends opens with "We're Not Gonna Take it" by Twisted Sister
The Repubs incredible Brown shirt stunt yesterday.
I don't usually watch news in the morning but I'm at a conference so I had to check it out.
Morning Joe is talking baseball (Washington Nationals on last night).
Fox & Friends - Ed Henry is a horrific sell out.
Four Important Presidents - Robert Redford Richard Nixon Abraham Lincoln George Washington
Poster on the wall at Career Day on WATCHMEN on HBO
It opened with the slaughter in Tulsa in 1921.
We just started watching it. Don Johnson is the Police Chief. The police hide their identity with masks. The officer who pulls over redneck Paul Rudd had to go through a protocol to get his pistol released by the dispatcher.
This looks really interesting
Vietnam is a state.

When will Pierre Delecto join DU? 😆
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/21/politics/mitt-romney-pierre-delecto-twitter-account/index.htmlSen. Mitt Romney says he has been secretly using a Twitter account apparently intended to monitor political discussions on social media and to defend himself.
Asked about an account attributed to user "Pierre Delecto" by The Atlantic's McKay Coppins on Sunday night, the Utah Republican and 2012 GOP presidential nominee replied, "'C'est moi,'" or "it's me." Romney explained in an Atlantic profile that he maintains a secret Twitter account, and a Slate investigation linked the Pierre Delecto account to him.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver says financial losses in China 'substantial' 'fairly dramatic '
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league is already dealing with "fairly dramatic" financial consequences from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey's support of Hong Kong's anti-government protesters.
"The losses have already been substantial," Silver said at the Time 100 Summit, in his first public comments about the NBA's relationship with China since he returned to the U.S. from China earlier this week. "Our games are not back on the air in China as we speak, and we'll see what happens next.
"I don't know where we go from here. The financial consequences have been and may continue to be fairly dramatic."
"We made clear that we were being asked to fire him, by the Chinese government, by the parties we dealt with, government and business," Silver said. "We said there's no chance that's happening. There's no chance we'll even discipline him."

Here's 1 hadn't heard "Is it too close to an election to impeach?"
Sen. Warner was on the local RW Radio with John Reid (former aid to Sen. George Allen) the host.
It was a friendly talk.
They discussed Syria. Sen. Warner at one point said “...the only person gaining from this is Vladimir Putin” which that radio audience doesn’t ever hear.
On Ukraine the host had to interject “Are we SURE this is a REAL whistleblower?”. Warner politely confirmed that it was and that many other people have come forward to confirm the report. Again something this radio audience doesn’t hear.
Then the host said something that must be ruminating in RW circles but I hadn’t heard “Is it too close to the election to impeach?”
Warner’s phone was choppy and I was pulling into a parking garage but he clearly turned that question around into an election security answer.
This reminds me of Moscow Mitch saying it’s too close to an election to hold a vote on Merrick Garland.
Tell me what I've missed here on the Kurds/Syria....PLEASE.
Let's breakdown the Kurds/Syria disaster
He is "spineless" in a phone call with Erdogan.
The pulls out US troops. The only thing holding Turkey back.
His spin is that it's only 50 troops..... then it's all of them.
Turkey rolls in.
He threatens Turkey to stop doing what EVERYONE knew would happen with sanctions.
There is no plan to move the 1,000 people. Moving 1,000 people takes planning.
Russia, Iran, and Syria are strengthened beyond repair.
The Kurds are fleeing and then there's the rape* and stoning.
Turns out we have nuclear warheads in Turkey. Not easy to move. Might have been "known" but never acknowledged.
Today Trump writes some sort of late night drunken text letter to Erdogan.
October 16, 2002 - W signed the War Resolution on Iraq
https://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/16/bush.resolution/index.htmlWASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush signed a congressional resolution Wednesday authorizing him to go to war to disarm Iraq, saying Americans "will not live at the mercy of any foreign power or plot."
"Either the Iraqi regime will give up its weapons of mass destruction, or for the sake of peace, the United States will lead a global coalition to disarm that regime," he said at a White House ceremony Wednesday morning. "If any doubt our nation's resolve, our determination, they would be unwise to test it."
The White House says Iraq is stockpiling chemical and biological weapons in violation of U.N. resolutions ending the 1991 Persian Gulf War. It also accuses Iraq of resuming efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, and argues that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein could give weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.
🎀 Former Panthers RB (NFL) DeAngelo Williams covers 500 mammograms in late mom's honor
The retired football player has sponsored hundreds of breast cancer screenings in several states to honor his mother and aunts he lost to the disease.
Former Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams has been bucking cancer like he used to do defenders, sponsoring more than 500 mammograms in honor of his mother who died from breast cancer at the age of 53.
Williams, who played in college at Memphis and was drafted in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Panthers, started covering the cost for breast cancer screenings in 2015 through his nonprofit, The DeAngelo Williams Foundation.
He's the link
Now, his organization has covered the expenses of over 500 mammograms at hospitals in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Memphis, Tennessee; Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Charlotte, North Carolina, TODAY reports.
Williams' mother, Sandra Hill, died from breast cancer, and he also lost his four aunts to the disease before the age of 50.
