Wrong again donkey. 85 million people out of work, most have stop looking. They aren't counted in government unemployment numbers. Record debt, doubled in the last 6 years. Record number of people on food stamps, tripled in 6 years. A record 51% of our population receives a check from the government! Record number of illegals running wild in this country. A 100,000 illegal children dispersed into our country. 4000 on LI alone. A disaster of a government health plan that has doubled premiums. (I'll show you receipts). That same health policy has driven millions from private insurance to medicaide. Which was your guys goal all along. Our allies are disgusted with us and our enemies laugh at us. Thanks to a wholesale successful deterioration of our military. Bengazi, Ft Hood, ISIS, Fast and Furious and Ebola.... I could go on and on but it's just too easy. Fantastic IVY educated, follower in chief.

Mr glass half empty. Ebola? Really? Better brace yourself for another 8 years if not longer.

Glass half empty? Is that what you call fact and truth? Figures. I only hope and pray that the very polices you support directly impact your children's future. It always takes a direct hit for folks like you to wake up. Or like most of your kind, they'll just throw in the towel and become another "Victim". Which is exactly what the "Follower in Chief wants".

Oh boy, this gonna be great!

Flounder; Animal House

Mr glass half empty. Why don't you just leave the country? How do you even cope living in one of the most liberal democratic voting states in the country? It's only going to get much worse for you and drive you even more insane than you already are. Why not just do us all a favor and make a change for yourself? Can you even stand the thought of Hillary for 8? Better than some war monger from your side, which got us into the mess that my guy has had to spend 6+ years fixing. Enjoy.

Amen...unfortunately the Dems are buying votes with free phones, food stamps (which are used as currency to buy drugs, cigarettes, etc...), free healthcare (which isn't free), bring in more immigrants (more votes for Dems, and more free giveaways)...POTUS is a joke, his policies are a joke and our country is becoming a joke. What happened to the times when people strived to EARN a living, were proud of our country and our country was the leader of the free world?

Says the propaganda flyer of a dying party that may not elect another president in our lifetimes.

The only thing I saw your guy fix was a curtain at a community center when he was an organizer. Thanks for being the Libtard that you are.

Reality check regarding the dying party.

State legislatures - 26 R ; 18 D ; 5 split
Governors - 29 R ; 21 D
Most pundits (even on the left) are expecting Republican to get a majority in the Senate as of Tuesday. Republicans already enjoy a commanding majority in the house.

I have to agree that the future elections may favor Democrats only because the current administration is letting people from third world countries pour over the border. Unfortunately welfare state and unfettered immigration are not sustainable so we will end up like so many failed socialist states before us. Like most Democrat policies this immigration will hurt the poor and middle class the most, and the rich will rake it in like they have since Obama took office, but hey it isn't about helping anyone but themselves (and their rich donors) so they can get reelected.

I thought this was lax board?

Take this political nonsense elsewhere.....

If lax is your kid's only way to ivy - guess what? He's labeled an academically sub par lax jock and won't and will not be capable of assimilating with the rest of academically worthy student body - you know, the students that have nearly perfect SATs and straight a's in all honor classes who are eager to excel in the classroom and are actually interesting. How sad for all you ivy chasers via lacrosse!! Believe me. I was there and everyone knew who those jocks were who otherwise didn't belong. They lived in a small athletic bubble within a huge dynamic university. So for all of you out there chasing the ivies via athletic recruitment - hope you're happy with the bumper sticker.

Please. It's a window sticker, not bumper - bumper stickers are so 70's. Please refer to prior post of 350k starting salary 10yrs ago for the IVY jock.

this conversation is so stupid. lax please, enough with ivy and political bs.

Two words: academic index

Look it up. All are responsible to meet it. That ensures that the "jocks" are actually capable and ready to meet on the same academic playing field as the non athletes.

Look up the grad rate % of ivy "jocks", now compare that with your acc jock grad rates.

And it's actually a vinyl static cling window decal.

And the jock who started at 350k? He made 875 last year. Not too shabby for a jock.

We only hire IVY undergrad and grad degree associates. Athletes especially. They demonstrate the ability to not only succeed in the IVY classroom; but also the ability to hold down what amounts to a full time job wrt their athletic endeavors simultaneously. They demonstrate extreme team player qualities on and off the field.

It's a nice fraternity to belong to. The strongest of all alumni supporters.

Anything else to knock, IVY hater?

A couple points, if I may?
- as for someone who "was there"; I take it you are a fellow IVY a grad? If so; a very poor demonstration of the ability to convey your ideas in a coherent and substantiated manner on your part.

- if you were "there"; you would have noticed that there were many "sub cultures" that students migrated towards; be they based upon majors, clubs, athletics and even racial ethnicity. They all partook in the university experience in their own ways; as we continue to do in our current lives. Birds of a feather....

-labeling of other students based on their affiliations is pure bunk on your part and you may have been the one doing the labeling; which is usually done in a manner of extreme jealousy and or bias. Perhaps this is something that you continue to do evidenced upon your trivial rant noted above.

- sadly; it seems that your progeny may not be qualified for IVY Entrance in any case; as you continue to spew anti-athlete / vitriolic statements. Thus the animosity demonstrated on your part.

In closing; may I suggest a bit of counseling do address your apparent long term issues?

Have a great weekend!

You people seriously scare me...

How did / is the Quaker Fest tourney going results wise?

Turtles killing it. Big goal scorer is the 5'4" attackman committed to Cornell . Seems size isn't a factor for him!

Balt Crabs don't even belong on the same field as the Turtles.

I think I have seen enough club ball now to conclude this about the 2017s. Wow, are the Turtles great. Dukes are good and then...wow has Maryland and DC lacrosse fallen apart for this grade. Did all the good kids quit Balt Crabs and VLC or did players on those teams just stop developing? Terrible defense, awful goaltending and leaving to a few strong attackmen to save the day. Last, did the 2017 goalies have some constrained diets or not take vitamins and drink milk as kids? Jeez, some really tiny kids in the cage. Can't be that small and play goalie in college.

Why not? Some very impressive small kids out there!

At attack yes, but in the goal? Nope.

Turtles rolled today. They played really well and showed up a Dukes team made up of 2015 through 2017 uncommitted players. Crabs looked awful in game vs Turtles but heard they improved against Dukes. Looks like Big 4 Champions League in Phila next weekend is going to be good w Dukes 2017, Turtles or LI Express?, SweetLax, Mesa, Crabs going at it in a championship format.

Size means very little in lacrosse anymore. Cant really "body" guys anymore, its a speed/stick/ball movement game. We live on LI, the bulk of the 2017 kids committed here aren't HUGE. But...

The Leatherback is the largest of the turtles while the stinkpot turtle is the smallest.

Outlaws 3-0 at Quakerfest- good wins team will be good

Not a great day for MD teams. The 2017 Crabs took some lumps and the VLC 2017s are a joke. What happened to them? Just horrible on defense, terrible goaltending and can't clear the ball.

Hey buddy. VLC is from the DC area - not Balt. I know anything below the Verazano Bridge is all the same to you. And don't be fooled. Most of the best players were not there because they are already committed. Mid Atlantic lacrosse is just fine thank you.

We're local and know better than that comment. VLC has been leaking top players for over a year to Blackwolf, MadLax, FCA and 3d. The rostered players left were all there, and they just aren't a very good team. Whatever blather on top doesn't matter. You can't replace D1 defections with the local town recreation league players and expect the same results.

The local memo is don't walk but run to tryouts for any team other than VLC. Bought by the Crabs owner who does not care a lick about them except for collecting fees, the club is notorious for rostering tons of kids from one town recreation program who can't play because of the conflicts of interest from one VLC coach who coached youth and the team mom from that town who basically runs the operations of the club as a volunteer and then showcasing them equally as the kids who can play. They went from a no brainer top 3 2017 team in to can't beat anybody in a year.

The same parents who left for 3D keep saying the same lies. Both Crabs and VLC were missing a ton of kids due to injuries and some are already committed and sitting out the fall.

Not sure why you keep bringing up the "town thing" when none of the new kids come from that "town".

I don't remember hearing about too many outlaw commits
Wins in fall ball doesn't mean very much. Commitments are the goal and it doesn't seem that too many people other than the outlaw parents are impressed with the team or players Sorry

madlax. But to Madlax credit that program is getting stronger b

I caught the end of Madlax WestCoastStarz game. Madlax won by a goal or two, and looked really good doing it, despite being the smaller of the two teams. FWIW, they were missing their stud defender and several other players were out with injuries. It's called depth, something VLC is obviously missing.

Nobody cAres about these two mediocre DC area 2017 club teams. The last area team to win squat was the 2015 crabs. The 2017 teams in your area are not elite, so let's move on.

1. That WCS team is nowhere near the quality of WCS teams that used to fly out here.

2. The Madlax 2017 team is pretty weak. Everyone knows that.

3. Everyone has kids out with injuries, playing other sports, etc.

West coast stars has been depleted a bit by the 3D programs of which the Northern California program has become an emerging force.

Little over the top that Ty Xanders publishes rosters. I know these are recruiting tournaments but it isn't best to make 13,14,15,16 year olds public figures. Didn't work out for Lindsay Lohan or Danny Bonaducci so well. This world of fantasy schoolboy lacrosse is crossing some lines toward pedophilia. Boy crush write ups and tweets on pre pubes? Now I like it when coaches recruited my son, but all that happens without this.
