Waching daily Dec 21 2018

 Dries Mertens didn't exactly endear himself to Liverpool fans in the run-up to their Champions League clash

 The Napoli midfielder was routinely booed during the game - which the Reds won virtue of Mohamed Salah's winner - for a questionable comment he made about the famous 'This is Anfield' sign

 The iconic sign has resided over the Anfield tunnel for decades now, with legends of the club and contemporary players touching it before games

 Mertens, on the other hand, didn't read into the sentiment of the sign and recalled during an interview with The Times: "My strongest memory is that they have a sign saying 'This is Anfield' and everyone was talking about it

 "I came through the tunnel and I asked, 'Where is the thing?' They said you missed it and I hadn't noticed it

Mertens slams 'This is Anfield'  "So in the second half, I'm looking at this small thing and asking, 'Is this so special?'"  Although Mertens wasn't exactly ripping into the sign, he certainly did his best to devalue a meaningful piece of furniture at the club and it sparked plenty of backlash on Twitter

 Of course, Liverpool got their revenge with Mertens experiencing a quiet game and being substituted late on as the home side qualified for the knockout stages

Journalist's brilliant Mertens tweet  A mistake from David Ospina allowed Salah to open the scoring, before Alisson Becker made a superb save to deny a late equaliser

 So, naturally, Mertens was wide open to criticism after the game and Liverpool-based reporter 'DavidOCKop' delivered one of the finest reactions

 Both drawing on the offending 'This is Anfield' comment and the Belgian's performance during the game, he posted a tweet that's already amassed thousands of 'likes

'  Check out the post and reaction below:  Can somebody get a taxi for Mertens?   Although Mertens was never firing shots at the Liverpool team, he must have known his comments would receive a backlash and there's no coming back to these particular posts

 The midfielder looked a constant threat throughout the original meeting - a 1-0 win for the Italians - but failed to make a lasting impression on Merseyside

 The sign in the tunnel is meant to bring good luck to players, so maybe Mertens could have done with appreciating the very instalment he slighted

 Regardless, though, he won't be walking out at Anfield anytime soon as Napoli now drop down to the Europa League while Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain progress

 Do you think Mertens' comments went too far? Have your say in the comments section below

Trump Admin Makes It Harder For People To Get Food Stamps - Duration: 4:07.

Well, Christmas is just a few days away now, and so the Trump administration decided to

give an early present to needy families all over this country, and that present is, we're

about to cut your food stamps and there's nothing you can do about it.

You see Donald Trump and the Republicans had actually been working on cutting food stamps.

They had been wanting to do that for quite some time now.

Uh, but they tried to put it in the farm bill.

Well, it did not survive in the farm bill farm bill gets signed anyway.

So the Trump administration got a little more clever with it.

How can we cut food stamps without having to go through Congress?

And the s da came up with a brilliant plan.

They just issued a new set of rules this week that increases the work requirements for people

receiving snap benefits.

Here's the way it currently works.

If you are receiving snap benefits, there are work requirements.

I think you'd get about three months without having a job before you get kicked off.

But if you're in a state where the unemployment rate is 10 percent or more, you can get an

extension on that because obviously you're in an area where work is hard to find.

The government took that into account.

The new rule lowers that unemployment rate from 10 percent to seven percent.

This is going to result in a few million people getting kicked off of the food stamp programs.

Now, these could be people who are just unable to find work.

They could be people on disability who are unable to work or have an exceptionally difficult

time finding work.

Whatever the reason is, the Trump administration doesn't care.

We don't want you to keep suckling off the government's teat.

We want you to get off your ass and go get a job.

Right?

And not what the Republicans always say, get a job.

You Bum.

A lot of these people can't.

They want to.

They don't want to sit there and just have to have the government take care of them.

They want to take responsibility, but due to circumstances, a lot of them not of their

own making, they're unable to.

Whether it's a faulty economy in the city or state where they live or an accident that

happened to them that prevents them from being able to properly work.

They didn't do this to themselves, but they're the ones being punished.

Meanwhile, the USDA also wants to cut the program by one point $6, billion dollars annually,

so not only are fewer people going to be receiving benefits now, but the benefits the people

do receive.

We're going to reduce those because, hey, we just gave the wealthy a big tax break last

year and we've got to pay for it somehow.

Right?

I, to me, this is Paul Ryan's dream child right here.

We get to screw over the working class poor and then screw them over a little more by

just reducing the total amount of benefits.

Anyway, after kicking so many people off of these benefits, and this is what this administration

prioritized, right in the days before Christmas.

I mean, I can't think of anything more heartless, deceitful and disgusting than what they have

done to these people.

Right in the heart of the holiday season.

Maybe if Trump gets visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, maybe they'll decide that

this is a bad idea, but I seriously doubt any of that's gonna happen.

Cutting aid for needy people in the United States has been the Republicans number one

agenda item for more than a decade.

They finally found a president heartless enough and clueless enough about what the public's

going to view this like a to actually go through with it.

Trump is their guy and they are his guys.

There is no distinction anymore between Donald Trump and regular republicans because they

are all one in the same with the same goal of screwing over as many poor people as possible.

Pure stretch four 2k19 - best custom Jumpshot nba 2k19 for stretch big build (tutorial 1) - Duration: 11:41.

what it do everybody you already know what it is man it is ya boy starusher

aka star boy coming to you with this

tutorials video as promised on how to shoot for those of you who are from my

Instagram page and who have followed me so far you know on this start of my

journey of a 2k content creator I want to thank you for coming and checking

this tutorial out now um for those of you who are watching this video that

means that you're concerned about shooting and pretty much you want to

learn how to shoot better I know a lot of you have been hitting me up asking me

star what's the jump shot you know what is your jump shot well I can't reveal my

main jumper until I get 100 subs I gotta make some I gotta make

some exceptions here okay alright so starting off as you can see right there

I pulled up green bean in his face all right so we're gonna pause right here

right now I know you guys just saw that jump shot that I just took that green

bean jump shot now you see the guy and his position and where he's standing

right there when you take a shot you need to give yourself some space all

right now you got to remember when it comes to taking a jumper you gotta

create you've got to be able to have separation you see my defender he has

good separation between myself and you know the line that's in front of me you

always want to have a good separation because if you don't then of course

you'll end up missing the ball so you see where I am that's pretty good that's

pretty good decent separation for me to be able to shoot the

all right so pretty much in slow motion here it is green bean and make it girls

scream hear me right in his face I mean if you have good separation then you

should be able to green it and also if you have a good jumper you also should

be able to green the shot that is just the basic shooting everybody should know

that even an average player should know how to be able to pull up and you know

make a jump shot like that no big deal honestly now the next jump shot that I

want to show you guys well the next jump shot that I took that I would like to

show you guys is this one here in particular it's when you have a defender

behind you what I love this year BAM you see right there how I hit that jump shot

now let's take a closer look at this jumper right here you see how my

defender is behind me how he contested the jump shot behind me now this year in

2k versus last year last year whenever you had a defender guarding from behind

you or you know trying to block you from behind or even trying to contest a shot

from behind last year in 2k

they would automatically make you miss the shot like literally make you miss a

shot but this year Mike Wang and his boys which I love so dearly

they said amen you know we're gonna reward defense a little bit better just

a tab a little bit better so this year as you can see no matter where your

opponent is behind you if your opponent is behind you whether he's on his feet

or whether he jumps up to contest a shot you will automatically make this shot as

long as you have a full white or a full green so if your opponent whether he's a

lockdown defender whether he's a two-way player whether he's a stretch whether

he's a sharp doesn't matter what archetype he is you will be able to cash

this one in in pretty much cashing in the bucket if he's behind you so just

keep that in mind so let me just slow this play down for you guys you guys can

get a little bit visual look as to what's going on so you see my defender

coming from behind I know he's gonna try and cut test from behind so I just went

ahead and pull up because it doesn't matter what he does from behind because

this this year 2k you will automatically make shots if your defenders behind you

so there you go I cache it right there in the net and of course of defense

ended up paying for it alright this next move here I call it the stepping jumper

so I'm just gonna come around like this step in take a jump shot easy money

all right now let's slow this play down so I can kind of better explain to you

now I want you guys to just watch my defender very closely as to what he's

doing and I'm gonna pause the video and show you exactly what I'm talking about

you see how I'm coming around clearly I'm wide open you see how my

defender is coming in right now I just want you guys to just take a look

at this picture right here now I took a still still image of this because I want

you guys to see exactly what's going on right here now what do you see just take

a look at where my defender is right now now

clearly he's trying to cut off my right side okay now the reason as to why he's

trying to do this to cut off my right side is because every pure sharp or pure

shooter likes to zigzag and they like to left right left right so he thought that

I was going to right left so he thought that I was gonna try and go to my right

first and then try to go to my left so that's why he stayed and tried to cut

off my right side now if he has successfully done this he would have got

an easy steal but because I read the play

Claire and I knew what he was gonna do you see how my left side is open all I

had to do was just take a step in and just take the easy jump shot just like

this BAM just like this step in green bean

make you what make a girl scream hear me just like that alright ladies and

gentlemen boys and girls the final jump shot tutorial of the video is called the

fast break pull-up jumper now this is something

that every pure stretch loved to do as you see I come down the court I pull

up and guess what rain beam make you what make new screen just like that hear

me so I mean it's it's it's every stretch force oh they love doing it

alright let's just pause that previous clip that you guys saw where I greened

and pretty much and you know the whole team's face but right here pretty

embarrassing for them because they were all probably like how in the world this

guy made that shot how long really make this shot well number one this is a god

move so a lot of you guys will not be able to do this unless you have been

inducted into the stretch for god hall of fame so unfortunately a lot of you

will not be able to shoot like this but if you are true God like myself then you

will be able to shoot like this now unfortunate to say taking a shot

like this you will have to green it you will have the green shots like these and

the reason as to why you have the green shots like these is because 2k will not

allow you to make shots like these on for whites it's never been done before

it's never happened you will have two green this shot but the good news is is

with the right jumper and if you know your jump shot you should have no issues

or no problem green beating it in front of your

opponent's face so this is pretty much the ultimate

shot of this video because once you have been inducted into the godlike Hall of

Fame like myself then you will be able to hit shots like this so I just wanted

to pretty much show you guys that's still clipped well ok yeah thanks for

watching that whole jump shot tutorial video now that wasn't really

any sort of advanced shooting that I was doing that was just the small basics for

some of you who really don't know how to play the game and I'm not even trying to

like you know joke around or you know trying to you know put people on a

limitation or make fun of anybody this is for people who genuinely and I mean

really want to know how to really do just basic shooting you know not um not

anything too big not anything too fancy just people you know who've never really

played the game of 2k and are you know trying to get their feet wet and just

wanting to learn how to shoot because truth in the matter is a lot of people

don't really know how to shoot you know you have people out there that are

taking contested jump shots they're just doing all sorts of things man and

they're not using proper IQ so the whole purpose of me was to you know the whole

purpose of me making this video was to pretty much you know just teach one or

two fundamentals as my first video so thank you all for watching this video

make sure you like the video share the video subscribe to your boy one time if

it's not your first time like the video share the video as you can see I missed

that shot right there but that's not part of the tour so the tutorial but

anyways but yeah so go ahead and follow your boy share the video subscribe do

like it comment and support your guy peace out

How Airsoft Guns Help John Lineker Prepare For UFC Fights - MMA Fighting - Duration: 3:52.

I'll put it as far as possible.

I'll shoot the zombie in the head. Right in the zombie's head. Check it out.

Let's see how I did. Let's check it out.

Oh, I shot the zombie in the chest, man. It wasn't in the head, it was in the chest.

I think I killed this zombie now, huh?

Yeah, I killed the zombie, guys.

A friend of mine introduced me to this sport, airsoft, and I enjoyed it very much since I played it for the first time.

It's a way for me to chill out when I'm training and on a diet. It's my way of relaxing.

It's so cool and fun, it's a dynamic game, so from that point on I never stopped playing.

I have a team now, Ataque Paranagua, and we're always competing, so it's a fun game for those who like guns.

It's not a real weapon, it's a simulation, but it looks so much like a real one.

It's cool to go on missions, too. It's really close to a war. It's so fun.

How often do you play?

Every Sunday, Saturday… I play all the time. I play a lot, almost every Sunday.

My wife gets mad, 'is this a rule now?' It is a rule for me. It's a cool sport, it's fun.

Does that help you in a fight, other than chilling out?

For sure. The strategy, you focus on not getting shot, so that helps you in a fight as well.

You think about the strategy, to protect yourself, to defend yourself, so you also bring that to the fight, too.

And, of course, feel better mentally in training and in the fight because this is where I clear my head of things that are stressing me.

You enjoy it so much that you even bought your own guns, right?

I did, man. I think I bought seven guns already. I have a pistol and four rifles, I believe. I have a lot of airsoft guns now.

Your wife complains that you don't buy her gifts but buy these guns for you, right?

She gets crazy when I buy a gun, she wants to buy something for her right away.

But she understands that it's something good for me because of my training, my diet, so it's something to relax my head.

And it's good because you practice your aim so it's good for fight night, right?

For sure. We get our aim sharpened to go there and shoot my friends, too.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Surgery For Early Stage Lung Cancer | THR News - Duration: 1:31.

Don't miss Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest.

The Supreme Court confirmed that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery

Friday morning for early stage lung cancer. According to the court's public information

office, Ginsburg underwent a pulmonary lobectomy at New York's Memorial

Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The statement from the Supreme Court explained that:

At this time, no further treatment is planned for the 85-year-old, who is

"resting comfortably" and is expected to remain at the hospital for a few more days.

Ginsburg has battled cancer twice before - once in 1999 when she was treated for

colorectal cancer in 1999 and again in 2009 after being diagnosed with

pancreatic cancer.Her latest bout with the disease comes after she was hospitalized in

November for falling at her office at the court, which resulted in three fractured ribs.

Her injury had a slight impact on the promotion of 'On the Basis of Sex,' the new biopic

about her early career, starring Felicity Jones. Ginsburg — who was also the subject of

the critically acclaimed documentary 'RBG,' released earlier this year — was set to

participate in several 'On the Basis of Sex' screenings and panels, but was unable to

do so because of the fall. Eventually, the incomparable judge made it to a screening on

Dec. 12 in Washington, D.C., where she posed for photos with Jones as well as

Armie Hammer and Justin Theroux, who also star in the film.
