Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength

to Jeopardy this past couple of weeks.  Has anyone seen the brainiac contestant who looks like he might overtake Ken Jennings the reigning champion?  He is a professional gambler from Las Vegas and there isn't much he doesn't know.
Plenty of Jeopardy! champions have rung up six-figure payouts. But until James Holzhauer put up his $110,914 total on April 9, no one had done it in a single game. Since then, Holzhauer has amassed over a million dollars in winnings, and has notched the seven-highest single-game tallies in Jeopardy! history.3 days ago

There isn't a contestant who has come anywhere close to beating him.  I am now hooked at 7 p.m. Monday to Friday.

And he's a professional gambler so I suspect he's also well heeled in how to play the odds.  Fun to see though.

When our older son was just a baby, barely walking and any time after that, any time he heard the Jeopardy intro, he would fly into the livingroom.

We had both the board game and later, the electronic version and he played it religiously, we had to start making up questions on the board game because he has a photographic memory and after a while, he knew every question in the game, LOL.

He has tested twice for the show at the local and state level, but couldn't make it to the final testing phase due to deployments.  But he has vowed to make it to the show someday. I hope he is successful. 


We love to watch the show and see how many brain cells we have left, LOL.

That would be so exciting takn.  Your son sounds like a perfect contestant.  Our close friend is like that and everyone tells him to apply to go on the show.  He has a vast knowledge of everything worldly and the only subject he might fall short in are certain sports.  That's his excuse!

I was hooked on Wheel of Fortune for the longest time and sometimes watched Jeopardy. That guy is amazing.

I think he'll give Ken Jennings a run for his money, that's for sure.  Did he beat the one day all time record?

Thank God for Alex Trebec doing such a great job all these years!!!!despite his current health issues-- yes, working is making it tolerable and empowering him to stay positive by keeping busy what he does best vs dwelling. Heard these are taped ahead so wish for the best, Trebec for Sept!!!What a great night for this knowledgeable Jeopardy winner. Quick and unrelenting, getting the job done. So like Pres. Trump with our now employment, GDP, wages, manufacturing, trade, energy -- All phenomenal, even record breaking -- can't get better than that--what a positive shot in the arm for America.
