Netanyahu has lost the Israeli elections again. That’s quite a shock. Might be the first elections the left has won since Brexit (the only acceptation being the Danish elections earlier this year). No party will have the majority required to form a government. There’ll be a lot of behind the scenes negotiations.

Am I right Gantz wants a secular government? That'd be by definition a step forward..

Trump is going to attempt to take away California’s right to make environmental regulations. He’s really trying to poke the bear. In terms of state politics, California is 70% Democratic, 20% Republican, %5 Libertarian, 2% Green (a lot higher, but many Greens vote as democrats), and then small minorities of Peace and Freedom and American Socialist parties.

I haven’t brushed up on Israeli politics in a while. I just know he’s center-left.

And now a commercial that won’t change anything, but accurately describes how all American students feel. Great job to the directors, one of the best satire PSAs I’ve seen in a long time.

New York is looking to become the second state after California to allow college athletes to make money off their merchandise, likeness, and images.

Will this be a "rematch" of Cyrus the Great taking the Neo-Babilonian Empire in 539 BC or Caliph Uthman conquering Fars and Khorasan in 650-651?  :D

Just kidding, nobody likes wars. I hope we won't get there.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t end with the sacking of Jerusalem or the fall of Rome :p

    • On March 11th-17th we will have the 4 qualifying tournaments:  (Tournament A, Wuhan)  (Tournament B, San Juan)  (Tournament C, Istanbul)  (Tournament D, Lyon-Villeurbanne)  
    • It's anyone's game in Sanremo, with at least 4-5 singers who could win. In recent days, Sal Da Vinci has gained ground, as has rookie Sayf. Brancale is in sharp decline and may not even make it to the final.
    • Teams already qualified :  (Host), , , , 
    • So tonight Super Saturday with  ,  ,  ,  ,  and  all choosing their entries.   Will be watching Pesma za Euroviziju and San Remo and probably fall asleep when final selection comes. 
    • By the way, the girl who hugs him in the video is 16 yo Eleni Iakovaki, daughter of Periklis Iakovakis (2006 European champion in 400 hurdles and 2003 World bronze medalist). She won the women's 400 event today with a massive PB of 53.95 (U20NR and U18NR) and seems to be rapidly improving. Her previous PB was 55.09 from last year (outdoors).   We also had 16 yo Apostolia Antonatou finish second today in the women's 60m with 7.33, which is also a new U20NR and U18NR. A few weeks ago she got 7.38 to equal Katerina Thanou's U20NR but now she beat her and she's only 16.
    • This is absolute insanity,and i love it,thank you for the instant information.
    • He tried for 6.31 but had two fouls and didn't go for a third attempt.
    • I don't know where the correct place to post this news is, but the Alexandri sisters announced yesterday they will leave  and start competing for  again    Our aquatics federation and Olympic committee were in talks with them for a while apparently, and they say they want to end their careers where they started and represent Greece in Los Angeles.   For those that don't know, they left Greece in 2012 for Austria at the age of 15 because they were cut from our national teams. It was their only way to continue in the sport despite not having any prior connections to Austria. They competed in Rio, Tokyo, and Paris where they placed 4th in the duet (our Greek duet finished 6th). They won many World and European medals for Austria and improved year after year and unexpectedly ended up surpassing all of the Greek girls that were previously seen as more promising by our federation and originally replaced them in our national teams. The girls thanked Austria for the support and opportunities and Austria also seems very supportive of their decision to go back to Greece.
