He's a cretinous troll. He "knows" because he believes that he "knows" more than we do and he thinks that it therefore constitutes some sort of "truth".

Intellectual rigor is not one of the hallmarks of trolls like pigs.
At least I think , what is your excuse .

Yep, he could use a grammar lesson. Not sure if that disqualifies him as a logical thinker. :lol:

Justify, winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness last month and a huge favorite Saturday, beat Gronkowski to take the 150th Belmont Stakes.

I just watched Justify win the Triple Crown. Awesome horse. Wire to wire - never once gave up the lead. Congratulations to Justify, Mike Smith - his 52-year-old jockey and Bob Baffert his trainer. This is Baffert's second Triple Crown win.

There was never a doubt in my mind . Santa Anita Derby day I went to bet Bolt D’oro took one look at Justify and that was it , changed bets . Prior to the Kentucky Derby my wife showed me her horses , I looked and told her all of them looked good but she may be missing a super horse . She changed her bet and took us to supper . Yes an awesome race after the good break it was never in any danger . I was watching for second as 3/5 doesn’t pay much , $89. Exacted not bad .

I don't follow a lot of horse racing, pgs but I never ever miss watching a Triple Crown candidate. My most memorable is still watching Secretariat win. What a magnificent horse.

"Justify achieved one of the sports' toughest feats 45 years to the day that Secretariat won the Belmont by a record 31 lengths."

"Justify was bred by John Gunther, of Langley, B.C., at Glennwood Farm in Versailles, Ky., which is run by his daughter, Tanya."

I wish I could find a replay of the entire race because there was one horse that I saw - in the one and only replay right after the race - who came barreling up the ranks from last place and I think it was Gronkowski but I'm not sure as my attention was a bit divided wanting to see Justify cross the finish line again.

I still remember Secretariat. I saw that race live when I was only 7 years old. It still gives me goosebumps.

Now that brought tears to my eyes, HH.........thank you. I remember how I thought my heart would burst when Secretariat started pulling away and never stopped until he sailed across the finish line leaving the rest of the field in the dust. It was such a thrilling moment to see a horse with that much heart and stamina.

Horse racing is of course an elite pastime. Fast horses probably are very tough eating. Yes I,m into the horse meat world, to me these animules are just organisms to convert grass into more palitable cuts of meat. Tripple crown steak.

i DON,T GIVE A FUKK HOW FAST THEY ARE, WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE?

a TRIPPLE cROWN STEAK MIGHT COST TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

Yes Gronkowski was second , he moved from last up the inside on the final turn .He was flying at the end but was not really gaining on Justify .

Apple says it will block an access point that law enforcement often uses for cracking into iPhones during criminal investigations

The security upgrade, which would disable the Lightning port on the bottom edge of iPhones an hour after users lock their phones, could reignite debate over whether tech companies are doing enough to help authorities probing serious crimes. It would have little practical effect on most people using the devices but would make it far more difficult for investigators to use extraction tools that attach through the port for the purpose of collecting the contents of seized iPhones.

Apple said the change protects the private information of iPhone users and was not intended to frustrate law enforcement. Apple has been at the center of such debates since it declined FBI requests to unlock an iPhone 5C used by a gunman in the San Bernardino shooting in 2015.

Lawyer feuding with Avenatti moves to seize Stormy Daniels' crowdfunding cash

LOS ANGELES - An Orange County lawyer has asked a bankruptcy judge to seize much of the $577,000 donated to porn star Stormy Daniels to pay legal bills in her suit against President Donald Trump. The lawyer, Jason Frank, is trying to collect on a $10 million judgment he won last month against Eagan Avenatti, the Newport Beach firm of Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti.
The firm's debt to Frank was among the biggest it promised to pay when it emerged early this year from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Frank, who worked at Eagan Avenatti from 2009 to 2016, says the firm cheated him out of millions of dollars in pay.
He won the judgment after the firm broke its promise, personally guaranteed by Avenatti, to pay Frank $4.85 million.
In papers filed Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana, Frank asked Judge Catherine Bauer to order Eagan Avenatti to give him all legal fees, up to $10 million, that the firm might collect from clients in 54 cases.
One of them is the lawsuit filed by Daniels to void the nondisclosure agreement that bars her from talking publicly about what she says was a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump at a Lake Tahoe resort. She received $130,000 to keep quiet.
Daniels set up an online crowdfunding collection in March to cover her legal bills, security costs and any damages she might be ordered to pay Trump for breaching the confidentiality pact.
By Tuesday, more than 16,500 people had donated just over $577,000, according to the CrowdJustice website that oversees the fund.
Frank, who declined to comment, asked the bankruptcy court for a restraining order to keep Eagan Avenatti from diverting potential legal fees away from the firm to dodge the $10 million judgment.
Avenatti, the firm's managing partner, dismissed Frank's request as baseless.
Under no circumstances could the court order any money collected by Daniels to be turned over to Frank, Avenatti told the Los Angeles Times via email Tuesday. Eagan Avenatti does not represent Daniels and has no right to the crowdfunded money, he said.
In correspondence with Trump's lawyers, however, Avenatti has identified himself as an attorney at Eagan Avenatti in the signature line, used an Eagan Avenatti email address and copied Eagan Avenatti office manager Judy Regnier, court records show.
Eagan Avenatti lawyer Ahmed Ibrahim has done the same in his emails with Trump attorneys.
"A signature block means nothing," Avenatti said by email, "and you have no evidence the firm ever represented Ms. Clifford."
Avenatti has said that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is represented by a "completely different law firm," Avenatti & Associates.
In corporate papers filed with California's secretary of state, Avenatti & Associates, wholly owned by Avenatti, lists its type of business simply as "Eagan Avenatti." Avenatti & Associates owns 75 percent of Eagan Avenatti; San Francisco lawyer Michael Eagan owns the rest.
Last week, the bankruptcy court clerk directed the U.S. Marshals Service to enforce Frank's judgment, a move that could soon lead to seizure of Eagan Avenatti's assets.

Trump is poised to announce tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese products, broadening trade dispute

President Trump on Friday will announce trade measures on a list of Chinese products. The target list, finalized at a White House meeting on Thursday, affects a relatively small share of the $505 billion in Chinese goods that Americans buy each year.

The measures come in response to China's efforts to steal American trade secrets via cybertheft. But it's also a key step in Trump's America First trade strategy focused on reducing the trade deficit with China.
