France’s Macron Sends Clear Message to Trump: “Nationalism is a Betrayal of Patriotism”

Image
More than 60 world leaders gathered in Paris Sunday to mark 100 years since the end of World War I, and although the general theme was unity, President Donald Trump seemed determined to stand apart. While world leaders took a bus to the Arc de Triomphe and walked side-by-side as bells tolled to mark the exact moment 100 years ago when the war ended, Trump arrived with his own  motorcade . Russian President Vladimir Putin also arrived separately  and walked in by himself to the ceremony that included, among others, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump arrived separately “due to security protocols.” But his insistence on standing apart didn’t sit well with others, particularly after Trump drew fire for his decision to cancel his appearance at a memorial service Saturday because of rain. When it came time for the speeches, Fre...

FORGET PEP GUARDIOLA, JOSE MOURINHO AND JURGEN KLOPP - CHELSEA MANAGER MAURIZIO SARRI IS ON THE CUSP OF SETTING A STUNNING NEW PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD

Image
Chelsea vs Everton at Stamford Bridge is a Premier League fixture that often leaves the Merseyside outfit feeling Blue as they trudge their way back up to the North West. The Toffees have a rotten record at the stadium, failing to win on any of their last 23 Premier League visits, dating all the way back to 1994. Few will back Everton to bring an end to that shocking statistic considering that the club are also woeful on a Sunday, losing 11 of their last 13 matches, while there’s the small matter of attempting to become the first club to inflict a first league defeat upon  Chelsea  since May of last season. Speaking of undefeated records, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has history in his sights this weekend. No gaffer in the history of the Premier League era has ever gone 12 matches unbeaten at the start of a tenure. Sarri is currently level on 11 unbeaten matches with former Nottingham Forest manager Frank Clark, who achieved that feat way back in 1994/95, howeve...
