Maria Bartiromo Criticizes Establishment
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo slammed the establishment and members of the media Sunday, saying they failed to see the economic issues that mattered to Americans during the presidential campaign.
“Obviously the elites, the establishment, the media, they had no idea what the people wanted and had no idea where the people were in terms of economic issues, in particular jobs,” Bartiromo said on the "Cats Roundtable" on 970 AM in New York.
The "Mornings with Maria" host emphasized that the 2016 election was about "the working man and woman."
“I think it was very much about the working man and woman. And I think there’s a big portion of the population out there who was saying, 'You know that, I’m the forgotten man and woman. I’m the one who has not seen their wages move in 20 years,’” she told host John Catsimatidis.
The Fox Business host noted that investors are seeing that “the Trump plan is a growth plan,” and the incoming administration’s changes will pass through because of the “Republican sweep.”
“Businesses are sitting on cash because, before the election, they didn’t know what was around the corner. They were getting just strangled by regulations,” she said.

Five Lessons from Trumps Win by Daniel Greenfield
What can Republicans learn from Trump’s victory? The biggest lesson is that the old way of politics is dead. McCain and Romney showed that twice. Now Trump has shown how Republicans can actually win.

NDSU Bison Defeat Iowa (13) at Iowa
September 17, 2016 04:17 PM
Cam Pedersen kicked a 37-yard field as time expired and North Dakota State pulled off a 23-21 upset of No. 13 Iowa on Saturday for its sixth straight win over an FBS opponent.
The Bison went for a 2-point conversion down 21-20 with 3:41 left, but couldn't punch it in. North Dakota State's defense then held, and quarterback Easton Stick's 29-yard run put the Bison in position for the biggest win in school history.
The loss was just the fourth by a ranked FBS team to an FCS school. North Dakota State isn't just another Football Championship Subdivision team, though. The Bison have won the last five FCS national titles.
Against the Hawkeyes, they ran for 239 yards and held Iowa to 231 total yards.
"Am I shocked that we lost? Yeah, to an extent. But these guys came ready to play," Iowa defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson said.
Stick had 124 yards passing and a touchdown for the Bison (3-0), who also snapped Iowa's nine-game home winning streak.
C.J. Beathard had three TD passes for Iowa (2-1). But the Hawkeyes ran for just 34 yards on 25 carries.
"I thought we'd be able to run the ball a little bit better just because that's what we do," Beathard said.
THE TAKEAWAY
Iowa: The Hawkeyes can forget about the playoffs. Barring something extraordinary, it's tough to imagine the committee letting in a team that lost to an FCS school - even one as talented as North Dakota State.
North Dakota State: North Dakota State is FCS is name only. The Bison's blocking at every position was exactly how coaches draw it up, and they didn't commit a penalty in the first half. North Dakota State might not lose again all season - and a sixth straight FCS title is a distinct possibility.
http://kstp.com/sports/north-dakota-state-bison-iowa-hawkeyes-college-football/4266890/
North Dakota State continued its incredible streak of beating teams from college football’s top division when it downed 13th-ranked Iowa 23-21 thanks to a last-second field goal.
The Bison had attempted to win with a two-point conversion minutes before, but failed. It’s the first time NDSU has beaten a ranked team in the school’s history; it’s Iowa’s first-ever loss to an FCS team.
The last FBS team to topple NDSU was Iowa State, way back in 2009. The Bison have now beaten six FBS teams in a row.

American teenager Thrasher wins first gold of Olympic Games

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Unflappable American teenager Virginia Thrasher won the first gold medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Saturday, holding her nerve against two Chinese Olympic champions to clinch the women's 10m air rifle event.
The 19-year-old U.S. college champion edged out China's Du Li, gold in Athens in 2004, with an Olympic-record score of 208 in the sport's new finals format. Defending Olympic champion Yi Siling, also of China, took the bronze medal.
Competing in her first Olympics, Thrasher, as the first champion of the 2016 Games, was awarded her medal by International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach and said the achievement was beyond her wildest dreams.
The youngest of the eight finalists by several years, Thrasher established an early lead after battling with the Russian shooter Daria Vdovina, who stumbled midway through the competition and finished fifth.
"About halfway through when I took the lead it kind of became clear to me that I was in contention for a medal, but I quickly pushed that thought away and focused on breathing and taking one shot at a time," Thrasher said.
Thrasher learned to love shooting while hunting deer with her grandfather when she was in eighth grade.
"I got my first deer and I liked the adrenaline of pulling the trigger," she said.
She then joined her high school air rifle team and was recruited by West Virginia University, where she became a national collegiate champion as a freshman this year.

Pentagon may end transgender ban for military in July
The Pentagon is set to end the ban on transgender people serving openly in the military in July, according to Defense official. One official says the lifting of the ban could be announced by Defense Secretary Ash Carter as soon as July 1, though final details remain to be worked out, which could delay the announcement.
Defense officials confirm that there will be a meeting Monday involving top personnel officers from all of the military services to discuss the transgender ban.
According to one of the officials, lifting the ban will be followed by a one-year implementation plan to address housing and personnel issues that would be required.

Whistling sling bullets were Roman secret weapon
Some 1,800 years ago, Roman troops used "whistling" sling bullets as a "terror weapon" against their barbarian foes, according to archaeologists who found the cast lead bullets at a site in Scotland.
Weighing about 1 ounce, each of the bullets had been drilled with a 0.2-inch hole that the researchers think was designed to give the soaring bullets a sharp buzzing or whistling noise in flight.
The bullets were found recently at Burnswark Hill in southwestern Scotland, where a massive Roman attack against native defenders in a hilltop fort took place in the second century A.D. [See Photos of Roman Battle Site and Sling Bullets]
These holes converted the bullets into a "terror weapon," said archaeologist John Reid of the Trimontium Trust, a Scottish historical society directing the first major archaeological investigation in 50 years of the Burnswark Hill site.
"You don't just have these silent but deadly bullets flying over; you've got a sound effect coming off them that would keep the defenders' heads down," Reid told Live Science. "Every army likes an edge over its opponents, so this was an ingenious edge on the permutation of sling bullets."
The whistling bullets were also smaller than typical sling bullets, and the researchers think the soldiers may have used several of them in their slings — made from two long cords held in the throwing hand, attached to a pouch that holds the ammunition — so they could hurl multiple bullets at a target with one throw.
"You can easily shoot them in groups of three of four, so you get a scattergun effect," Reid said. "We think they're for close-quarter skirmishing, for getting quite close to the enemy."

Rupert Murdoch’s Ex-Wife in Relationship with Vladimir Putin

by John Hayward 31 Mar 2016
Us Magazine has published a report claiming Russian president Vladimir Putin is dating Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife Wendi Deng in their “new couple alert” section, although the report also concedes that “reports of the pair have been floating around for years, ever since their respective divorces in 2014 and 2013.”
According to the report, a Putin insider says the relationship between 63-year-old Putin and 47-year old Cheng has become “serious.”
Putin ended a 30-year marriage to the mother of his two adult daughters, Lyudmila Putina, in 2014, after which he was romantically linked to Russian gymnast Alina Kabaeva. Kabaeva was rumored to have secretly borne Putin a love child at a Swiss hospital last year, a rumor the Kremlin dismissed as a “journalistic hoax.”
Deng’s rumored connection to Putin seems a bit tenuous, as Us admits she has “yet to be spotted looking romantic with the Russian leader,” although they have some very wealthy mutual friends. Deng divorced Murdoch after 14 years of marriage in 2013, supposedly because he grew suspicious she was having an affair with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Just about all of the many media reports buzzing about a Putin-Deng relationship trace back to Us Weekly – which, as noted above, admits it is an unsubstantiated rumor, although Vanity Fair says that rumor has “apparently been traveling among a certain set for some time.”

NDSU Bison Football - Out for a Six-Pack
Dear Bison:
We all enjoyed yesterday very much. I hope you took the remainder of Saturday afternoon and evening to celebrate your successful drive for five national championships.
That was yesterday. Today is a new a new day. And it is also the first day to start working on "our" six-pack (six consecutive championship).
I will do my part by sending in tuition punctually, practicing cheering (screaming at the top of my lungs), and praying. I need for you to run, lift, practice, study tape, and get good grades.
Thank you in advance!
Go Bison

North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison Win Fifth Consecutive FCS National Championship
My Comments:
Congratulations Bison! An unprecedented five consecutive national championships. May I be the first to wish you luck on getting a six-pack (pun intended) next year.
The school promotes the Power of the Herd and they are right on. This string of victories is so much more than a football team. The team is great. The staff is great. The fans are great. But...this is so much bigger.
This phenomenon is the result of an amazing Fargo North Dakota community, Generations of hard-working, generous, tightly-bound, community-focused, clean, productive Americans from all backgrounds have created an atmosphere, a community, a University and a football team capable of magic.
The football team that reflects a heritage and culture where all things are possible through team work, hard work, and determination. A community that farms, drills, fights -30 below weather, battles the Red River, stands against hurricane-force winds and hail can certainly produce champions like Roger Maris, Richard Edlund, James Buchli, Paul Gaustad, and one amazing football team.
Go Bison!!!

Frisco, TX - North Dakota State was dominant on their way to a fifth straight national title with a 37-10 win over Jacksonville State University.
NDSU started the national championship game against JSU on offense. They wasted no time moving the ball up the field with their ground game.
Carson Wentz, starting his first game since October 17, went two for three on third down throws with both completions going for first downs.
However, his third pass fell incomplete and true freshman Cam Pedersen came on to knock in a 29-yard field goal. That gave NDSU the initial lead at 3-0.
The Bison defense got their first test against the JSU offense and stood tall. On a third and five, JSU's Eli Jenkins found Dalton Screws for a four yard gain. Screws was not allowed to move any further because of great tackling by Bison corner Jalen Allison.
That forced a punt for the Gamecocks. They had a chance to down the ball inside the five but Troymaine Pope was unable to down the ball as it bounced into the endzone for a touchback.
That would end up being JSU's only possession of the quarter as NDSU was able to run out the clock in the first quarter while driving.
It would only get better for NDSU in the second quarter. The drive continued to move even after JSU forced the Bison into a fourth down. NDSU went for it and converted when Wentz found Zach Vraa.
The Bison continued to move the ball and on a first and goal from the eight yard line, Wentz found Andrew Bonnet in the end zone for the touchdown. Pedersen would convert on the extra point and the Bison had a 10-0 lead.
The NDSU defense would respond on the first offensive play of the second quarter for the Gamecocks. Nick DeLuca would pick off a Jenkins pass by leaving his feet and going parallel to the ground.
The offense would not waste the effort. Wentz would show his running ability when he took a read option and ran 11 yards for a touchdown. Wentz finished off the run with a great dive for the pylon.
The point after went through and NDSU had already grabbed a 17-0 lead just under four minutes to go in the first half.
Things did not get any better for Jacksonville State on their third possession. After converting on a fourth and short, Jenkins would fumble an exchange in the backfield and NDSU would recover.
It was the second straight turnover for JSU and, again, NDSU wouldn't waste it.
The Bison drove 48 yards on six plays and saw King Frazier run it in from a yard out for the score. Pedersen's extra point was good and the Bison grabbed a 24-0 leads.
The Bison would shut the Gamecocks out for the rest of the half as they maintained a 24-0 lead going into the half.
JSU started the second half with the ball looking to at least get on the board. Jenkins legs would make that happen. Jenkins had a 46 yard rush and ended the drive with a six yard touchdown run. Kicker Connor Rouleau would tack on the extra point and JSU trailed 24-7.
It was the type of response that the Gamecocks were in desperate need of to begin the second half.
The Bison had a strong drive going following the touchdown but on play 11 Wentz was intercepted by Brandon Bender at the Gamecocks 33 yard line. He returned it to the NDSU 13 where he was brought down by Urzendowski.
The defense responded by holding the Gamecocks to a 26-yard field goal from Connor Rouleau. That made 24-10 with NDSU still in command.
The Bison would respond with a 60-yard drive that resulted in three points after Pedersen knocked in a 31-yard field goal. That gave the Bison a 27-10 lead right before the end of the third quarter.
The fourth quarter was not exactly pretty. NDSU and JSU had a sequence of three straight turnovers. It started when Jenkins had the ball knocked out of his hands by DeLuca recovered by Greg Menard.
NDSU would try a trick a play where back-up QB Easton Stick came in and attempted a pass to Carson Wentz. The throw was intercepted, however, in the end zone. On the very next play, Jenkins would throw a pass that was intercepted by Jordan Champion.
NDSU would break the streak of turnovers when they put together a short touchdown drive. Wentz put the exclamation mark on the drive with a one yard touchdown run. The extra point went through and the Bison had a 34-10 lead.
The Bison would add three more points when Pedersen would knock his third field goal through the uprights to make it a 37-10 lead.
That would be the final as NDSU claimed their fifth straight FCS national title.
Wentz ended the game completing 16 of his 29 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also led the team in rushing with 79 yards on nine carries along with two touchdowns.
More impressive still was NDSU's defense. They held JSU to 204 yards of total offense and just 57 yards passing. JSU converted on just three of 12 third downs.

NDSU rolls to fifth straight FCS title game
(STATS) - North Dakota State's "Drive for Five" took the cruising lane on the Road to Frisco.
The four-time defending FCS champion Bison are headed back to another national title game after crushing Richmond 33-7 in Friday night's semifinal at the Fargodome.
The third-seeded Bison (12-2), who have won 19 straight postseason games while building their dynasty, will face No. 1 seed Jacksonville State (13-1) - which rolled over Sam Houston State 62-10 in Saturday's other semifinal - in the championship game Jan. 9 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
Already the only program to win four consecutive FCS titles, the Missouri Valley Football Conference power is now the first to appear in five straight championship games, surpassing the Eastern Kentucky squads of 1979-82 (titles in '79 and '82) and Youngstown State squads of 1991-94 (titles in '91, '93 and '94).
"That's the best team I've seen in some time, maybe in my 10 years of coaching FCS football," Richmond coach Danny Rocco said.
North Dakota State's eighth straight win came easily against seventh-seeded Richmond (10-4) from CAA Football. Redshirt freshman quarterback Easton Stick threw for two touchdowns and redshirt junior running back King Frazier rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting between the programs.

ESPN's College GameDay Returning to Downtown Fargo
FARGO, N.D. – ESPN's College GameDay Built By The Home Depot will return to downtown Fargo for Week 3 and the home opener of three-time NCAA national champion North Dakota State, the network announced Saturday.
The show airs live on ESPN from 8 to 11 a.m. CT each Saturday during the college football season starring Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, David Pollack and Samantha Ponder.
NDSU, which leads the nation with an FCS-record 26-game winning streak, beat Iowa State 34-14 in the season opener for its fifth straight victory over an FBS opponent. The Bison are coming off a 24-7 win at Weber State.
NDSU attracted College GameDay for the Week 4 home game with Delaware State in 2013 after beating defending Big 12 champion Kansas State 24-21 in the season opener. ESPN's set was downtown at the corner of Broadway and Third Avenue North in front of the Fargo Theatre marquee.
North Dakota State is one of four non-FBS schools to host College GameDay since 1993 and the first to do it twice. NDSU and Air Force are the only schools outside of the "Power 5" conferences and Notre Dame to host the show more than once.
NDSU's opponent for the home opener is University of the Incarnate Word, a first-year member of the Southland Conference. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on the NBC North Dakota network and ESPN3.
