Perhaps you are veering toward voting for Trump-Pence in the belief that the ticket is better for your business, your 401(k), your tax rates, jobs, and meeting payroll. Maybe you oppose abortion, find “political correctness” and the excesses of protesters in the streets a danger to responsible free speech.

Russell vows he will 'never forget' Imola mistake - ESPN

forget.indah.link

12:00 PM ET

Williams driver George Russell said he will learn from the "stupid mistake" which cost him the chance to score his first Formula One point at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

F1 sophomore Russell has continually impressed for the series' backmarking team but has yet to break into the top 10 on a Sunday. It looked like he had a chance to do so at Imola when he found himself running 10th at the deployment of a Safety Car late on.

While weaving his car to generate heat in the tyres, he lost control and spun into the wall. A distraught Russell sat against a trackside wall for a few moments before returning to the pit-lane.

The Englishman posted to Instagram on Sunday afternoon saying the mistake would stick with him. .

He wrote: "I'll never forget this day, this mistake. I'll learn from it, be stronger for it. I'm so sorry to the whole team, no excuses."

When asked after the race what he felt he had to do to score his first point, he replied: "I don't know. Not make stupid mistakes like I did today.

"It was a race that I was pushing as hard as I could from lap one until then, the most aggressive I've ever been.And I wanted to continue that under the safety car because I knew that with the guys behind me on the hot new tyres, myself on the old tyres, if I had any chance of getting a point, I needed to be super aggressive.

"And obviously, as soon as I lost the car, I was already in the wall, and it's just gutting. Obviously really sorry to all the guys."

Don’t forget, Daylight Saving Time has ended - SILive.com

forget.indah.link

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Daylight Saving Time 2020 officially ended at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks were turned back to 1 a.m.

The result will be some big changes in sunrise and sunset times.

While the sun rose at 7:26 a.m. and set at 5:53 p.m. on Saturday, that changes on Sunday, with the sun rising at 6:27 a.m. The sun will set Sunday evening at 4:52 p.m. -- and it will only continue to get darker out earlier each night as winter approaches.

Benjamin Franklin is credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time. He published a satirical essay in 1784 titled “An Economical Project,” in which he raised the idea of saving money by making good use of daylight.

Germany was the first country to implement the idea. In 1916, during World War I, the country began saving daylight to conserve electricity.

In the United States, Daylight Saving Time was first established in 1918.

However, Daylight Saving Time is not observed in all 50 states. Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of the state’s Navajo Nation) remain on the same time year-round.

Daylight Saving Time will return on March 14, 2021.

Callum Shinkwin will never forget the incredible putt that helped him claim his first Euro Tour title - Golf Digest

forget.indah.link

The 54-foot putt Callum Shinkwin holed across the 18th green at Aphrodite Hills meant a lot of things to the 27-year-old Englishman. An eagle 3 on the 538-yard par 5. A back-nine of 29. A closing 63, low round of the week in the European Tour’s inaugural Cyprus Open. A total of 20 under par. And most importantly, a one-shot lead at that moment over Kalle Samooja.

The last bit didn’t last though. Samooja’s two-putt birdie on that same 18th hole gave him a second consecutive 64 and carried the 32-year-old Finn into his second European Tour playoff. At last year’s European Masters in Switzerland, he was one of four to fall (Rory McIlroy another) to eventual champion Sebastian Soderberg.

This playoff didn’t take long either. Shinkwin’s up-and-down birdie from sand behind the green was followed by three-putts from the unfortunate Samooja, his second effort from four-feet lipping out. It was, to say the last, something of an anti-climax after the drama that had gone before.

“I was as shocked as anyone,” said Shinkwin, in reference to the epic putt that eventually led to that extra hole and then to his maiden Euro Tour title. “I was 18 under par at the time and 19 was leading. So I wasn’t really thinking about winning. Holing from there was one-in-a-million really. My aim was just to get down in two, but it went in.”

Eschewing the normal protocols in such situations, Shinkwin retired to the clubhouse restaurant rather than the range to await his fate. A number of players other than Samooja, had chances to ruin his day but all came up short. Jamie Donaldson, six years on from recording the trophy-clinching point for Europe in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, tied for third alongside a pair of left-handers, Scotland’s Robert Macintyre and South Africa’s Garrick Higgo.

“I was starving,” said Shinkwin with a smile. “All I’d had to eat all day was a protein shake and a banana. And I guess all the adrenaline I was feeling made me even more hungry. Then again, eating is one of my favorite things to do.”

All of which was in sharp contrast to the 2017 Scottish Open and its aftermath. Needing only a par 5 on the 18th hole at the Dundonald Links, Shinkwin missed the green left with his second shot, found an unfortunate lie, then took four more shots to get his ball in the cup. In the playoff a birdie from Rafa Cabrera-Bello was enough to claim an unlikely victory. Clearly affected by that loss, Shinkwin recorded only one more top 10 that season and, by the end of 2018, had lost his card.

“I was back [for a third time] at the qualifying school, not wanting to be there,” he said. “I had only just missed my card, by three spots and only a very small amount of prize money. Looking back, I missed three cuts by one shot. And I had a lot going on at home at the time, which distracted me without me really realizing. But it all worked out as I got through OK. It was maybe just the kick up the backside I needed.”

In 2019, it was a year of further resurrection. Five top 10s were the highlights, taking the former English Amateur champion (he beat current World No. 19 Matt Fitzpatrick in the final in 2013) to 100th spot on the money list and full playing rights this season. The memory of Dundonald was fading.

“You can always say I deserved what I got back in 2017,” Shinkwin said. “It happens if you deserve it. But this time was so different. To win when I wasn’t actually expecting to do so is amazing. My form has been up and down all year, too. Although I played well in Scotland a couple of weeks ago. For a while anyway. I was one shot off the lead playing the last hole in the third round and made triple. So my form was there.”

The biggest difference has come on the greens, long an issue for the 2013 Walker Cup player. But armed with a new caddie, friend and former teammate in the English amateur squad, Sam Robertshawe, another corner has been turned.

“I’ve been out here since 2016, and in the time I’ve only had three caddies,” said Shinkwin, who earned €160,650 for the win. “The first two were very experienced, which was great. But after a while it became clear I needed someone to help me with the thing I needed to work on, which was holing more putts. Sam has always been a decent putter. And when he stopped playing at the end of last year I offered him the job. His ability to read greens has shown me that I can do the same. He’s made me so much more confident.”

And, more than three years on from the biggest disappointment of his life, a winner on the European Tour.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: We will not forget - Lynchburg News and Advance

President Donald Trump waves goodbye to cheering supporters as he departs his campaign rally at Orlando Sanford International Airport in Sanford, Fla., Monday, October 10, 2020.

Joe Burbank / Orlando Sentinel

By Leonard Pitts Jr., Tribune Content Agency

You did not stand up.

Granted, America faced neither enemy bombers nor terrorist plot, but the threat to her was — still is — no less real. Your country needed you.

And you did not stand up.

You told yourself party was more important. You told yourself the courts were more important. You told yourself tax cuts were more important. And you convinced yourself you could put up with his bluster and bullying, with his lies, his hatefulness, his bungling, his complete unfitness, if that was the price those things demanded. You could keep your head down, nod a lot, say as little as possible and, when pressed, pretend to believe the unbelievable, support the insupportable, find no offense in the blatantly offensive.

Your country needed you. You did not stand up.

Now here we are, just days before the election, and your president, the man you Republicans clung to like Jack and Rose on the stern of Titanic, seems poised to do what Titanic did. No one old enough to remember the airless shock of election night 2016 is taking anything for granted, mind you. On the other hand, one would much rather have Joe Biden’s polling numbers right now than Donald Trump’s.

Many of you seem to agree. Lately, one can hardly open a paper or go online without seeing one of you edging carefully away from the man to whom you once stuck like Velcro. There’s Sen. John Cornyn comparing his fealty to Trump to a woman who marries a bad man, thinking she can change him. There’s Sen. Ben Sasse criticizing Trump for cozying up to dictators and white supremacists. There’s Sen. Martha McSally bobbing and weaving like Muhammad Ali when asked if she is proud of supporting Trump. And so on.

Well, to all of you — lawmakers, administration officials, party hacks and other assorted enablers — who have tardily discovered Trump is a disaster that walks like a man, we have something to say. That’s not the editorial we, by the way. It is, rather, the we of those Americans who watched in apoplectic dismay as our country — its norms, its values, its virtues, its verities and its laws — came under attack while you failed to stand up.

I suspect I speak for more than a few of them when I say that your 11th-hour attempts to put distance between you and Trump do not fool us. As far as we’re concerned, the stink of what you did — what you failed to do — will follow you the rest of your days. May it make you less employable. May it haunt you at sidewalk cafes. May your kids ask you about it. And for any of you who broke the law — up to and including Trump himself — may there be prosecution to the fullest extent.

Maybe that sounds vindictive. America is, after all, a nation of second chances. Mike Tyson went from a rape conviction to Hollywood movies. Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton went from scandal-tainted punchlines to respected party elders. And the argument will inevitably be made that we ought not dwell in the past, that we need to move on.

To which, we say: not this time. Redemption is a fine thing. Moving on is, too.

But sometimes, you need accountability. Not simply as a salve for what is wounded in us now, but also as a warning to those who would wound us in the future. Maybe they’ll be less likely to do so if they see there is a price to pay for sitting down when your country needs you to stand. So let this be the message from the American majority to Trump and his enablers.

We will not forget.

And we will not forgive.
