7 points from being undefeated; only surrendered 30 pts in 2d half and 3 sacks all season; nations leading all purpose back. Next 3 weeks are a challenge but they are easily one of the top teams
Duke has won their last two games by a combined score of 88-5. Rank the Blue Devils already.

This is not a political question, just something I’ve always wondered. When the president goes on Air Force One traveling around the country to campaign for others, who pays for the travel, the arrangements, the security, etc? Forgive the stupid question, I just don’t know.

They’re giving Trump a medal for being a first responder and saving countless lives on 9/11. Please tell me that’s a joke
The Washington Examiner ran into Make America Sparkle Again CEO and founder Deborah Yanna, who was proud to show off her products at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday. MORE: tinyurl.com/s2652ke3

Hail Caesar? In Jesus’ time, the most widely circulated denarius (a small coin equivalent to a daily wage) included the image of the Emperor Tiberius and this Latin inscription: "Tiberius Caesar Divi Augusti Filius Augustus Pontifex Maximus" ("Tiberius Caesar, august son of the divine Augustus, high priest"). This is the origin of Jesus's response to those who ask if they should pay taxes to the Roman Empire. Jesus asks someone for a denarius and then asks the crowd whose face is depicted on it. "Caesar's," they say. Then Jesus says, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what is God's" (Mt. 22). Remember, Jesus is saying, whose values should take priority.
As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism. Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.

Has anyone heard from @misisgr8 (Melissa German Gardner) recently? My fellow cycling fanatic and #STS132 alum would have enjoyed a @thejensie reference on this morning’s ride

I broke a hip just watching this. I thought my bike handling skills were pretty good. I stand corrected!

Don’t bet on it. I have many friends in North Carolina who will root for anyone except for Duke.
