Game of Thrones: Stormborn Review
*SPOILERS AHEAD* Looks like Game Of Thrones is setting up all the pieces again — HOLY CRAP, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Seriously, what?! I expected a Battle of the Greyjoy’s at some point, but not so early in the season. And what a gruesome, terrific battle it was.

Joe Arpaio (known to Trump's denizens as "Sheriff Joe" like some sort of animated lawman) is a phenomenal sheriff – If a phenomenal sheriff brutalizes prison inmates, antagonizes them proudly, engages in abuse and keeps them in horrifying conditions in an effort to reduce their sense of humanity.

Did the Dodgers Losing Streak Happen at the Right Time?
The LA Dodgers have done everything imaginable this year to build their roster to be the team in the National League. The team that will go all the way and plays for a World Series title.
