President Trump directed staff to use taxpayer money for TV ads praising him and his presidency, setting in motion a $20 million contract that used funds from the Department of Homeland Security, according to people familiar with the matter. nyti.ms/4jBqx63

The NBA essentially hobbled the LA Clippers from competing in any meaningful sense for a decade for circumnavigating the salary cap to pay one player. Just in case any Man City fans care to internationally benchmark what 114 charges should, in reality, entail.

Although, sorry to add to the discourse. But I’m mildly confused as to why people seem to think the incumbent President of Ireland would have any difficulty greeting him? They’re both obviously Russian assets and share many of the same political views. I’m sure she’s more than happy to greet him.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
