    It’s not a “Fringe belief” among evangelicals. Fear is the foundation, and its the core belief of the conservative evangelical movement.

    Yes, it's a fringe belief. The mainstream belief is Pre-tribulation not the version that is being peddled by Bakker. That is a fringe belief that is condemned by mainstream rapture folks.

    Your minister wife out front should have told you so.

    How did evangelicals and survivalists start to overlap anyway?  Aren't they supposed to get taken away in the rapture while the rest of us struggle to survive?

    There isn't much of an overlap. A minor sect of dispensationalist evangelicals subscribe to a theory that they will live through a period of "tribulation" prior to the rapture. It's a fringe belief amongst dispensationalist evangelicals.

    Jim baker, previously a prosperity preacher, adopted these views after getting out of prison. Basically he found a niche market to exploit after burning a bridge elsewhere.

    I don’t know.  Is the consensus that is Trump?  Just sounded generic New Yorker to me. 

    Apparently Trump used this identity throughout the 80's and admitted to it during a law suit. The suit was due to Trump using undocumented immigrants.

    He also used the persona to get fellow USFL owners to reimburse him for overpaying Doug Flutie.

    LOL The absurdity is off the charts with Trump.

    God dammit. Schumer is the wrong guy to be pushing this. Now Trump and the Rs will oppose it just because Chucky wants it.

    Mark my words this is bad for the movement.

    This is the signal that legalization is now a mainstream political idea. Schumer wouldn't push this if there wasn't widespread support for it. Hell, John Boehner is a member of a marijuana investment firm and Orin Hatch has been advocating the medicinal use since last year.

    The movement is in the process of looking for a parking space because the journey is just about complete.

    Do you guys booze at the games?  At POLL, it is very common for parents to have some sort of mixed drink in their Yeti.  I limit myself to one as I am not drinking more than that and driving, especially with my kids.  Was wondering how other leagues are.  We played in West U LL when the boy was 5 and 6, and it was rare to see anyone drinking.  POLL basically encourages it.  They sent an email saying drinking is okay so long as there is no beer cans or liquor bottles visible.

    During the playoffs, people bring full on coolers and get wasted.

    I never did in Little League as I was always coaching. I know guys would drink beers out of an ice chest kept in the back of their trucks but that was always done in the parking lot.

    During All Stars in the summer it wasn't unusual to hangout and drink a couple of beers and grill burgers/hot dogs after practice.

    In travel baseball, I was usually drinking beer on Saturday games. If I am spending 6 hours in a ball park on a Saturday there better be beer involved.

    Did it for years, first year away. Now my boy is on the JV team. I sure miss it. Enjoy it while you can. 

    Same here. Have two playing varsity and one playing 14U.

    I almost got my 7 year old daughter signed up but the wife said no. It's a shame because she can probably hit and field as good as most 9/10 year old's in LL. Despite not ever playing the sport she gets a lot of training time in with me and her brothers.

    My youngest had a walk off home run* in his last little league game.  He's six and not a bastard but damned if he didn't touch home, put his arms out and pretend to fly into right field.  I found it to be acceptable because the other team's fans had been snarky all game.

     

     

     

    * Routine outfield hit turned into a HR by at least two errors, maybe more.

  8. "In May 1984, an official from the Trump Organization called to tell me how rich Donald J. Trump was. I was reporting for the Forbes 400, the magazine’s annual ranking of America’s richest people, for the third year. In the previous edition, we’d valued Trump’s holdings at $200 million, only one-fifth of what he claimed to own in our interviews. This time, his aide urged me on the phone, I needed to understand just how loaded Trump really was.

    The official was John Barron — a name we now know as an alter ego of Trump himself."

    That part of the country has a massive racism issue that skates by because its not Mississippi or Alabama. Same for parts of Penn and Ohio.  

    I worked with a Syracuse grad that would occasionally release his inner thoughts which surprised me because he was from New York. It turns out that up state NY is culturally similar to rural east Texas.

  10. The black guys looked like they were being uppity with the cops. Cops don't like that shit which was probably why they arrested them. "Talking back" to cops usually results in being arrested or the threat of being arrested. I know this from experience.

    Starbucks manager: acted out of racism.

    Cops: natural assholes and probably acted out of a mixture of racism and assholeish tendencies.

    WilCo is going to be interesting to watch the next few cycles. Tons of growth on the Ronald Regan corridor and along 29. Lots of young families and new Texans.

    So many new Texans. My wife has expressed an interest in moving to Georgetown. Is it becoming another Austin satellite full of commuters?
