The holiday weekend began with disappointing news and ended on an up note.The disappointment was learning that MAD Magazine will stop publication after the August issue.The positive: The US Womenās National Team won the World Cupā¦and a former kneeler stood for the anthem.Maybe she learned something after all.I do have a soccer question, though.Before the US scored in the second period a TV graphic showed that the US team was shooting for goal with 57% accuracy.This was BEFORE they scored!I suppose after scoring two goals by gameās end their accuracy was like 137%!
When we were talking last Nike was big news and that didnāt stop over the holiday.One minor league baseball team got into the war of words and symbols as did one Democratic lawmaker and a veteran business man.Go Fund Me went anti-cop and so did Starbucks.
The president got good marks for his Independence Day address.
Locally, Congressman Bill Posey has drawn his first opponent and itās yet another Democrat with zero experience in the political realm.And Titusville is back at it as it continues to go after that Airbnb homeowner after the cityās own board said the law did not support what the city was trying to do.
THE BATTING ORDER
MAD going awayā¦what, me worry?
Minor League team goes anti-Kaepernick
Democratic lawmaker goes anti-Nike
Veteran business jumps on āBetsy Rossā flag
