The 2018 midterm elections are coming Tuesday November 6th. Unlike midterms of the past, on a national level this election could change the course of history. For while the President’s term is not up until 2020, the presidency itself is still at stake for this administration. Should a “blue wave” bring the majority of the House of Representatives back to the Democrats, you can bet it will be full speed ahead with the Mueller investigations without any threat of replacing Jeff Sessions or deputy Attourney General Rod Rosenstein. That means more indictments and possibly a recommendation to impeach not only Trump, but newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavenaugh as well. But not so fast. Who says this blue wave will actually materialize? Will the 52% women voters unite and go to the polls? Will the recently energized school shooting survivors have succeeded in getting the overwhelming 18-30 majority registered and voting? Will the Latino and Hispanic communities retaliate for this administration’s separation of families at the border? Or will (as in previous midterm elections) the voter turnout be less than 40% and the GOP retains control of not only the Senate (which is expected) but also the House?

Since 2001, The University of Rhode Island’s football team has not finished a season with a winning record. They came into the Homecoming game this weekend at 4-1 with a loss at UConn, who plays a division above Rhode Island in the FBS.

It’s a perfect weekend morning, it’s been a long week and I’m going to need to have a beer for breakfast, and I want a beer that’s going to be great for the occasion. I want a beer to drink with breakfast. I’m having homemade Buttermilk pancakes, with bacon and home fries. I’m looking for a beer that will pair well with the sweetness of the pancakes and the savory bacon. I don’t want to open a bottle from the cellar. So Bell’s Special Double Cream Stout it will be.

In Week 1 of the 2017 season, the Kansas City Chiefs came into Gillette Stadium to take on the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Many thought that the Chiefs would be crushed, nothing more than just a sacrificial lamb to the Patriots. But when the final gun sounded, the Chiefs rolled out of Foxboro with a devastating 42-27 victory over the home team. Now in Week 6, the two teams met again in Gillette but under different circumstances. The Chiefs at 5-0 and poised to finally ascend into the ‘Elite Teams’ category while the Patriots were at 3-2 and looking to prove their doubters they were still the team to beat. But at the final gun, it was the Patriots who walked away with their heads held up high but clutching their rapidly beating hearts after barely escaping the shootout that everybody anticipated. |
