HAVE SCIENTISTS PROVEN THERE IS A GREATER POWER?

So, yesterday I think it was... I posted an article that scientists have discovered that our brains do have a conscience quantum realm in the tubules of our brains that prove we have souls and conscience life that returns to the Universe when our bodies die. 

https://www.peacequarters.com/scientists-found-soul-doesnt-die-goes-back-universe/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=ewaofb

I think this is fabulous, and I agree with their findings that our dreams in a sleep state put us in touch with this realm. However, my argument about it and my rethinking of this quantum realm have re-inspired my possible belief that there is a greater power.

Because, if you are atheist and believe in humans coming out of animal evolution,  at what point did this quantum realm enter our beings as humans? I back this up with the intelligence level of most animals. 

https://aeon.co/ideas/do-only-humans-have-souls-or-do-animals-have-them-too

Yes, I believe they have souls and feelings, but their lower level of intelligence and communication does not explain them being on the same level of quantum consciousness. 

If we evolved from animals, why would they not contain the same mental abilities as we do, if we are all from a conscience realm outside of Earth?  

The only way to explain that away would be to theorize that there are different levels of quantum consciousness.  Is this possible?

Well, in questioning my own theory, I put forth the argument that we all have different levels of intelligence and morals that most usually come from our souls and consciousness.  

Therefore, I would have to further theorize, based on these new scientific findings, which the article or study did not seem to cover, is that there must be different levels of quantum consciousness in the Universe beyond Earth. 

But that might quash the other theories that we can be reincarnated as animals or from animal to human. Is it possible for there to be a level of quantum consciousness change? That is a question I'd like to see these scientists whom I fully support and admire to answer in their following studies in this matter.

How do I tie this to the feasibility of there being a greater power? A God? A spiritual realm beyond Earth?

I would not argue that there is a man-made version of God out there at all. I think our thoughts on this judgmental God, and his Son coming to forgive our sins, is a bit far-fetched. As previously stated in other articles, I like to believe that something powerful enough to create our Universe as we know it, or multi-verses as having been theorized by Scientists, does not judge what he himself created. At this point in scientific findings, I definitely argue against a Heaven and Hell.

That doesn't necessarily mean that our states of consciousness that this Greater Power may have created throughout the Universe and on other planets do not come with some of what the Bible mentions, as our freedom of choice to be good or bad from birth. But, how does a baby choose to be evil, or good? Does our consciousness decide this before we are born, and once we enter our Earthly bodies, our brains are reduced to not understanding or remembering our choice prior to birth? What?? Now that's getting a little crazy and again goes against my gut belief that there is a religious realm or reality to all of this.

Unless, of course, Genesis is correct in the one concept that evil started with Eve and Adam and the apple, and does not exist outside of Earth. Maybe this God has created other life in the Universe that does not have feelings of good or bad. That do not have that choice of freedom. Maybe his statement in the Old Testament that we on Earth will never fully comprehend his mysteries rings true. Maybe we are the first beings in the Universe to have a choice between right and wrong with our conscientious thinking. 

Then I would ask this God, why does he not allow us to use all of our brains, and not only 10%. Why does he hold us to just a limited ability of thinking and consciousness?

Religious folks would say to just pray on this. I prayed for 9 years, in full faith, and none of my prayers were ever answered, nor my questions. Is that the God we are supposed to believe in?

Is it possible that a Greater Power did create us, the Universe and other beings in the past on other planets completely different, and we just happen to be the only ones who know right from wrong on Earth? Do right and wrong only exist on Earth?

Just look at what we've discovered in the past 10 years in space. I think the answer is right in front of our eyes. From Earth, the stars all pretty much look alike, right? But, when we leave this beautiful blue orb of ours, we find that nothing is the same in the Universe. Yes, there are some constants of course that keep it all together, but we have discovered way more differences than our minds are barely able to grasp. How about the fact that the billions of stars all have their own planet or planets circling them? I don't think religion ever supported that theory, and yet, here we are in the 21st Christian Century with proof that the Universe is extremely complex! 

I'd love to be able to end this article with a perfect answer, but there isn't one, and probably never will be. 

I do believe thought that our souls do go somewhere else after we die here on Earth. Why else do people we know talk to us in our dreams, while we are in a higher state of open consciousness?

Why do we have proven military tests of people who can remotely view outside of their bodies while in a dream state?

Why are there UFO's? Why is there proof in the ancient world all over the planet that Aliens or higher powers once visited us, and probably still do?

So many questions... However, I think science continues to grow closer to the answers than does religion? No? Religion remains static in its beliefs and growth, but Science continues to better our planet, increase our ability, and send us to places we never dreamed of... How about that first wheel invention... Think about that!

MORE THAN 13 REASONS WHY!

Many of us have been there before. A little whisper, a nudge, a tossed book, a threat to see you after school, the chase home from the bus.

That was the old days!

Now it's a picture here, a rumor there, a lie on the internet, a threat to murder.

Bullying still remains in the halls of education from elementary through college, and it's never going away. Based on my children's views, it is not what it once was... but how do they know?

Bullying may have roamed the halls of students more abundantly in years past, but now, it's taken on a whole new form of creation, and it only takes one child, teen, or college student to make us all aware of the atrocity of this human lack of justice toward our fellow beings.

I have recently torn through most of the first season of 13 Reasons Why on Netflix Originals. A television style formatted show that carries us unknowingly through the history of a girl's experience at a new high school before she committed suicide.

Correct, we already know from the beginning that she committed suicide. Well, I haven't finished the first season yet and wanted to write this before I do, because I am unsure as to what the ending of the journey will be. I have to admit, that I almost hope that it's all a dream and that this character didn't kill herself, but that the whole creation is just a lesson to young people in the world today.

Chances are, she did kill herself since her parents seem to be playing the part of bereaving parents.

I really don't want to give away the story, or much else, so I'll leave my discussion of the show here.

With that in mind, I do want to touch on some of the attitudes that prevail in the students directly involved and not directly involved.

You might wonder why I write on this topic, and what my outcome might be, as I have decided to write about hope and inspiring things from now on. Well, that is what I intend to do. 

You see, I lived this life of bullying and what I experienced is different from this character's experiences. Further, I'd hate to say that my childhood was worse than what she has gone through in the movie so far. That's just it! The base of how bullying can cause a lifetime of pain or an end to a life.

We all experience it in a different way because we are all different. We carry different hearts, different thoughts, and different feelings within each of us. Some are more sensitive... you can chalk me up to that description early in life, and then some of us are hard.

I don't believe this is always a result of your upbringing either. I had two other brothers, and we all experienced different levels of bullying where we grew up. Yet, we all grew up in the same household. My older brother took it head on with anger. I ran afraid. My younger brother laughed it off. Three totally different responses to bullying, but all with the same upbringing. I feel that this supports my theory that we are all born with individual ways of handling life, despite our immediate environment. 

Now, I am not going to sit here and write that my brothers didn't have as big of a heart as I did. They just had different hearts. John was strong, I was weak, and Chris was blase.

I remember my older brother getting into fights with the local teens all the time, even defending me sometimes. I remember my younger just walking away laughing at people. Both were effective. But I took everything to heart, and let it hurt me more than it should have. Why? I have no idea. 

Before the age of 10 or 11, when I finally stood up to my neighborhood's biggest bully our age, only in order to protect my younger brother from what was a sure threat to hurt him, I was picked on, called names, chased home from the bus many days, and even trapped near the bus after school and punched in the stomach and arms. Luckily, I've only been hit in my face twice ever in my life when I was older, and that didn't go very well for the other participant at all. Even at school, I was called names and picked on by both girls and boys, and always picked last for every gym or sports event we were all involved in. I would try to get in line first to get on the bus, so that I could be first off at my stop. I did have one advantage over everyone, excpet Robbie. I was the second fastest kid in the whole development. Luckily, Robbie didn't come along until I was 10 or so, and by then I stood my ground with him. We actually ended up friends eventually. 

So, there you have it. My wonderful childhood. On top of that, both of my brothers would entrap me in situations of fighting I didn't want to be a part of, and even went as far as to put me in a very large wooden toy box, and sit on the cover for 10 or 20 mintues, until I was screaming so loud, they had to let me out. All I remember from those years, is crying. Whether it was from parental beatings, or peer brutality.

Some might say this was no big deal. Just the common life of many kids. But, as I mentioned before, it was not common to me, or my heart, as it is not to those of the hearts that you may have bullied, or that may be getting bullied now.

Where am I going with this... Well, the art of bullying is usually brought on by just the opposite type of persona. These kids, teens, or college students have either been born or taught to be this way. Sure, it's easy to create programs in schools in which we try to teach how bad and wrong bullying is. That may just work for the ones who have good hearts and just learned from their older siblings or their home environment. 

What about the heartless though? They do exist you know. I have received apologies from some of my old schoolmates, and one of my brothers, and my elder. But, some of these people I've run into still carry the same type of facade, and intensity that made them the bullies they were back then.

Again, that was the old days of bullying. Harmless words, and fights, right?

Now, it's a whole new dimension in which bullying takes on a completely different paradigm. Now, these children, teens, and adults have phones, cameras, recorders and more with them every day. They carry guns, knives, bombs, and even advanced weaponry at times.

Bullying is not simple anymore, and it doesn't have to be widespread to be a huge problem. These human beings who are bullied for being different are now put in the limelight. They are plastered all over the internet for not just a few people as the old days with rumors, but to hundreds, thousands, and millions to see. Their hearts, their minds, their souls are torn apart, stomped on, and thrown out like a dead carcass before they have even had a chance to live life.

13 Reasons Why brings this kind of humiliation to the forefront for us all to see. I strongly suggest, if you are reading this, and haven't seen it, and have Netflix (Who doesn't), to watch it, if this is a topic of interest to you or means even more than that in your world. Whether it has been you or is your child or someone you know, it is time to tackle this ugly monster head on!

It is time for people like me and those who somehow survived countless thoughts of death and suicide over the years, that are now strong, to stand up and speak, to make videos, to get in touch with our souls, and make a difference, so that we can save just one more life if even possible!

It is not just about the bullying or the bully. It is more about the victims, and what kind of being they are inside. How can they handle it, what is happening, who is involved, how can you help? 

Don't be afraid to talk to teachers, to principles, to other parents, and School Administration. Don't let anyone slough it off as unimportant, or as a program that's being worked on in the meantime. We need more than programs, we need more actions and more oversight in the world of bullying. Those who can be taught to stop should be taught, and those that can not be controlled should be expelled, and watched very closely by authorities of all kinds.

It's time to protect the futures of all children, teens, and adults who are different! It's time to celebrate them and who they are, who they want to be, and who they have to be to be happy!

This can be a World of LOVE, if we all try harder every day! I hope I'm doing my part with this article, and wish I could do even more! 

There are more than 13 Reasons Why bullying should stop. In fact, there are Billions of Reasons Why...

A PLACE CALLED HOPE

A PLACE CALLED HOPE

In the barren desert of an empty soul

Sits a boy scarred by all he knows

A conscience state of evolution

beyond a realm of apprehension

His eyes are set on life beyond

From existence which he is not fond

A twinkling star within his gaze

Brings thoughts of an eternal maze

Where love and peace abound

Set warm intentions all around

Vibrant thought beyond this realm

Escapes him now, while overwhelmed

Torture, hate, and greed all day

Fighting wars he can not slay

A love so unbridled

That even Earth can not coddle

The desert air so dry and simple

Brings a smile and a dimple

For somewhere else he knows

That Quantum energy there flows

Above his head come, passers-by

With whom he'd love to go and fly

He digs his foot into the sand

And waves for them with his hand

When to his earthly eyes surprise

They fly away to other skies

He's left with just a rush of hope

That one day Earth will finally cope

TRUMP SUPPORTS STATE OF HATE

Once again, I hesitantly find myself feeling the need to blog about Trump, Racism, and Misogyny. Why may you ask? Well, if you've kept up on recent news, and Facebook posts, you will have noticed a large rise in reports of the aforementioned.

http://colossill.com/florida-sheriff-blacks-should-learn-to-act-like-white-people-in-order-to-stay-alive/

I like to write about what is wrong in the world with society from, albeit, my point of view, and that's what this blog is about. I write for like-minded people who see the World the way I do....truthfully, and blatantly. I won't speak much of Trump here. We all know who he is and what he is about already. But it is his rise to power that has allowed what I am going to write about to come forth in American culture so strongly now!

I suppose my aim with this blog is to point out the most recent stories in news around America, that back my claim, and many others', that America, a country built on Racism from the beginning, is greatly struggling to outreach this-worldly assumption and view of most countries around Europe, Africa, South America, and let's throw Canada and the U.K. in there as well.

I've lived in Germany for 7 weeks now.  It is a different country than when I lived here 25 years ago. It is still a socialist front as far as caring for their needy citizens, which most Republicans in America will try to convince you is the downfall of this type of economy. That just isn't the truth. There is more than enough money among the top 1% of the richest people in the world to feed everyone on the planet fairly, and evenly. There is enough money to help the sick and needy with healthcare. Republicans of America, racists and misogynist men would have you believing otherwise, by hiding incredulous, and near criminal expenditures on their constituents' ridiculous, and unneeded projects in the Senator's states. But, don't get me wrong...even wealthy democrats in Congress are guilty of this as well.

Facebook, against all odds, and some opinions, is still a growing and powerful network of society that allows free speech and opinion. This has been both a blessing and a profound smack in the face of reality for many of us.

We get to see many of our "friends'" opinions on several matters, from politics to entertainment, to sports, to racism, to misogyny to religion and the future of science and genetics.

What we are finding out is that the American culture of racism and misogyny that so many of us had hoped was dying with the death of those from yesteryear, is nowhere near its grave.

Let's throw Bill O'Reilly and Greg Gutfeld under the bus here. I mistakenly worshiped O'Reilly, and a couple of his books for some years in my Republican Christian days, foolishly believing that anyone who went against the Bible's concepts of being a better human were destroying America, and the world at a whole. I lost good theater friends for a while from my past and created a smaller network of religiously nutty individuals. I have to throw in here that not all of them believed in these theories of Paul and Christians verbatim. Some of my previous religious friends could think for themselves and have a heart like mine. For 9 years, I constantly felt at battle with my mind and heart over the sermons I read, and the inconsistencies of love and hate in the bible and the thoughts of judging it put forth. A book written by men, and rewritten, and rewritten, with some books taken out, and some books which were written during early Christian times. Yet, with all of this exchanging of books, and rewrites, somehow, men of Christian faith stuck to their belief that it is God inspired. For over 2000 Christian years, we have now heard that Christ is coming to save the world from destruction, but wait...only those that follow him....now, that wouldn't be judgmental or anything right? Completely Christian to shut out some humans because they don't live by the same cloth that they do. Yeah, I followed this for 9 years. Craziness.

This is an excerpt from a conversation recently on Fox between members of The Five. You can also watch it below:

BOB BECKEL (CO-HOST): Instead of cutting every fact I've got and just saying, and laughing it off, because it's -- you know, it's four to one as it is. You might want to take some facts you don't like, because a lot of them have do with --

ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Alright, give us one. Just give us one.

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): All right, look at this -- waah, waah, crybaby. Call your camp counselor.

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Poor Bob, no.

BECKEL: Call your dressmaker, I mean --

GUILFOYLE: And give him a raise, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): You are giving America a raise.

GUILFOYLE: Oh my god.

https://mediamatters.org/video/2017/04/19/fox-host-tells-colleague-she-giving-america-erection/216110

I had already at this point in my life lived a widespread life of mistakes, indecency at times, drugs, drunkenness, forming friendships with gay men, and women, and the black community, whom I grew up with in my housing development as a kid. In fact, there were several races and nationalities in Ely Park, Binghamton, N.Y. in the 1970's. So, what could have grabbed my mind and swung me in the opposite direction of my early acceptance of all people on Earth as a Democrat you might ask...

I can give you the simple answer to all this, including the demoralizing of America that has occurred since 200 years before the American Revolution and Independence.

I suffered from a lack of faith in myself. I turned to a man on a cross to help me believe that I had worth in this wild and crazy world. By doing this, I believed that someone died for me so I would be accepted into a realm that we have no idea even exists. All of this before I completed my degree in Sciences, and my delve into genetics, space, and the such. History has always been a huge interest of mine, and so mixing that with what I have learned the past couple years through the enriching app Flipboard, I have greatly expanded what I already knew and believed in my heart, that all people are equal, and we are all brothers and sisters, not in Christ, but through blood!

This is a large cause of many American's turns to religion, Christ, and their belief that they are better than those they judge. It is insecurity in who they are! Deep inside their consciousness is a battle over what kind of heart they really have.

So, as we all know, racism began with slavery in the 1600 Americas and abroad, through the slave trade. But the concept of racism really started in America as African's who came to America began to gain freedom 200 years later during and after the American Civil War. It is with this acceptance of black, or differently colored people than white as free people in America that American racism took its roots in the South. But this article is not to concentrate on the history of racism. It is still rampant 152 years since the end of the civil war May 9th, 1865. Here you can see pictures of how it began, and in what form, and see how it took over the Southern mentality for another 100 years really, until JFK and MLK came along to give power to the thinking of minority men and women. By no means was JFK a perfect man. He had his skeletons as any of us do, but he and Bobby Kennedy truly believed all men being equal.

Today, we still see many examples of racist agenda in beatings, police brutality, mass shootings in some cases, and even among minorities themselves. We, unfortunately, see minority communities still allowing themselves to stay trapped in the tight-knit communities that they communed in for safety, from the early to the middle of the 1900's, with brother on brother crime and murder. The use of racism by Southern America has pervaded even the minds of minorities. Take a look at this article on a gay club not allowing black men into their bar. Right in my hometown Binghamton, NY, is a bar called Dillinger's, an Irish establishment, that disallows minorities and anyone not dressed to their standard of acceptance.

But where does this all stem from? Insecurity, normalization, and acceptance. American society suffers from all three of these psychological issues that attribute to what is becoming the downfall of American society. America has become so diverse, with many of the patriots who supported old beliefs and culture dying off, that what remains now, is a lessened power among the racists, and a stronger power among minorities. This balance of those who hate, and those who don't is actually more dangerous for everyone than when we had more racist people running and controlling America. Don't mistake that comment as a call to bring back racism, however. It is time for this to happen in America. The power of racism is waning, so those who hate are feeling very insecure, and are coming out of the woodwork due to a misogynist, racist President who has allowed them the feeling of freedom to vitalize their feelings toward who they consider being less of a human than they are. This current balance has to and will give way to a new America where there is more acceptance of all humans, all races, and all nationalities, as the old and ugly faithful of racism dissolve from the history of America's past. One day in the next 10 to 20 years, America will hopefully rid itself of this ugly curse that has stained the Statue of Liberty and the American Constitution for over 400 years, and one day it will be the melting pot of nationalities and races of which America was meant to be, minus the hatred. One can only hope.

However, there is still one outstanding and alarming issue in America that is now truly rearing its ugly head, as strong, and accomplished women of excellence and intuitiveness push it to the forefront and are beginning to clear these "bastards" out. That being misogyny among men, and even some women who continue to support the old thinking that Men are in power and control. Don't fool yourself. Due to the Christian faith that still prevails around the world, and in America, there are still women who believe the Man should lead the head of household, laying down the rules, and creating a chauvinistic atmosphere that harms both our daughter's futures and our boys. Why? This will not be tolerated in American Democracy and Corporate offices anymore. 



Some of you will try to argue that there are plenty of blacks, Mexicans, Jews, Indians, and women, etc., in powerful positions, and making good money, disproving my theory. Ha-ha! What you haven't done is look at the real numbers of these people in those positions, and the differences in their salaries. You fail to seriously look at the issues of men using sex as a power tool in the offices of large companies. From Donald J. Trump to Bill O'Reilly and Richard Ailes of late, and their like. These men grew and gained success by putting women in their place, and making them feel less than they are with incredulous, and insulting comments to show, in what to them was probably a joking way, that they are in power. However, as we are seeing through new revelations is that this has cost these men millions of dollars, and put some amazing women in more powerful positions, such as Megyn Kelly, Alyson Camerota, Gretchen Carlson and the like of Fox News fame, who have moved towards the center from right, and joined more mainstream networks who identify with equality and fairness not only in the workplace, but in their presentation of news. Wouldn't anyone want to work with gentlemen like Anderson Cooper and Shahira Amin and Wolf Blitzer?

It is time for American's with good hearts to start voicing their disdain for these types of people who harm the future growth of America as a Globally Uniting Country. In fact, that is exactly what many Republicans, judgmental Christians, Racists, and the like are fighting against. They do not want to see America become part of a Global Union, but America must be fought for, 

to obtain improvement on the current situation. Not only for the future of humanity but the future of our place in the Universe, as we learn that we are not alone and that other societies in space are far more advanced beyond man's judgment of each other. 

It is really a state of consciences when it comes down to it. We should all be more conscientious of our hearts, and minds combining to accept others, and love everyone who is not outright "evil". I'm certainly not a pacifist by any means and understand there are purely bad people in the world from birth, but I'd guess that more of these folks learned their behavior and beliefs through their environments.

Global Unity is the key to the success of the World and America's future or America will slip into oblivion and continue to edge towards becoming a third world country, where only the rich lavish life!

I end this article with this an article by Sean Adl-Tabatabal of Yournewswire.com, in which Bill Gates talks about how Capitalism is no longer working and why the world needs to turn to socialism.

YANKEES LOOK RIPE FOR 28TH CHAMPIONSHIP!

I don't normally write sports blogs, and why I don't know. Sports has been a big part of my life, and i've been a lifetime Yankee fan since I was 5. That makes 42 years for anyone counting. I've stuck through the hard times, the ugly teams, the Steinbrenner Era, and the dynasty of the late 90's to early 2000's.

Once again, Yankee fans have something to chomp on this season. It looks like Brian Cashman has once more worked his magic in the farm system by establishing young amazing talent and pruning them for the bigtime.

The 2017 Yankees dominated Spring Training. With a weak regular season start, at 2 and 4, they went on an 8 game rant pounding out homeruns like true Bronx Bombers, and backed it up with stellar pitching.

Cashman has once again built from the bottom up, a team full of young superstars, with the likes of Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Greg Byrd, and Starlin Castro, just to name a few of the top performers. Just like 1996, Cashman has created a tasty soup of new products and veteran provens, such as Chase Headley, who seems to have found his bat this season and is sliding into his position on the team as the newest leader since Jeter! Mix in Matt Holliday, Brent Gardner, Jacob Elsbury, and you have the same mix of talent that lead the Yanks on a tear of 4 World Series Championships in 5 years.

To add to the incredilbe power and precision hitting that has jolted this years' Yanks from last place after 6 games, to a tie for first place in 15 games, with a league leading 10 wins, is the same makeup of pitchers that again backed 4 World Championships in the late 90's.

With C.C. Sebathia seemingly returning to form of prior years, possibly due to feeling the sense of a championship team surrounding him, along with the greatly accomplished and experienced Masahiro Tenaka, are some new faces on the Yanks pitching staff, with the likes of Luis Severino, Adam Warren, and the quick return of Aroldis Chapman. There are other contributors as well, including a resurgence of Michael Pineda, a couple years off from surgery, looking like the pitcher the Yanks have patiently waited to re-emerge.

This group of Yankees have even more than what I've mentioned going for them this season, with a bench that is starting-caliber, and a bullpen that seems unhittable so far. But, with the length of innings that starters are getting into so early in the season, there has not been a whole lot of use for the bullpen thus far, allowing for stronger arms as the season progresses.

Once again, the Bronx Bombers are alive and well, and I don't see anyone stopping their drive to a 28th World Championship this year.

Bravo Brian Cashman, whom has built this team on a limited budget, unlike the huge expenditures of the 90's he had to work with, and whom also was recently on the brink of elimination from his position. Obviously, the new Yankee Brass do know what they are doing, contrary to my and several other fans' opinions, who thought they were tearing the Yankees apart. The higher-ups could foresee Cashman's brilliance, and lucky for all of us Yankee fans, stuck with him.

This should be an exciting season for the Yankees, if everyone stays relatively healthy.  I can not see any games where I live in Germany, but I keep up to date on Yankees.com.

Be sure to catch as many games as you can this year. I think we may see some phenomenal baseball. Aaron Judge has bursted out as the team power house, and we can only be patient in seeing what caliber baseball he continues to play.

Keep your channels tuned to YES channel, if you have it. If you don't, PlaystationTV carries the YES channel, and you don't need a Playstation to use the site. Just a laptop or phone. But beware, if you are in NY, chances are the games may be blacked out, due to the monopoly that is Time Warner Cable, who doesn't even carry the station for upstate New Yorkers. What kind of Cable Giant is that?

Good luck Yanks!! We hope to see you in October, crushing it to your 28th Championship Trophy!!
