Who cares 

I was in the military too, and we never did a flyby on somebody’s house mostly because submarines can’t fly

oh, "energizedlibtard" is real, he only stands out because he's not 100 years old but he's weird enough:



 

At least this DUmp'Rat is honest enough to know that he's "libtarded". 

That puts him head and shoulders above about 50% of the rest of the DUmmies.

California earthquake strikes near Santa Cruz; 4.6-magnitude temblor felt across Bay Area

https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/earthquake-santa-cruz-county-boulder-creek/

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck in Santa Cruz County early Thursday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The quake hit near Boulder Creek around 1:41 a.m., with a depth of about 6.2 miles, and was initially reviewed as a 4.9 magnitude. By 3 a.m., it had been downgraded to 4.6.

Residents near the epicenter of the quake and in San Ramon, Fremont, Burlingame and Los Gatos reported feeling strong shaking, according to the USGS.

My home is about a mile from the freeway intersection (SR17 and SR85) near Los Gatos. I was not woken up by this quake. The quake was probably on the San Andreas Fault, which in that area runs NW toward the ocean shoreline at SF.

Things Are Not Going Well for Nike, Such a Shame

Nike's stock is struggling despite it beating its sales expectations for the quarter. The company announced yesterday that it expected sales to continue to decline this year thanks to slow sales in China.

Shares of Nike fell in extended trading Tuesday after the retailer warned sales will fall for the rest of the calendar year, led by an expected 20% decline in its key China market during the current quarter.

Chief Financial Officer Matt Friend said during the company’s earnings call that Nike expects sales for its current fiscal fourth quarter to drop between 2% and 4%, compared with Wall Street estimates of a 1.9% increase, according to LSEG.

For the duration of the calendar year, Friend said, the company expects sales to fall by a low single-digit percentage, led by growth in North America and offset by declines in China. That outlook wasn’t comparable to estimates.

Behind the scenes, Nike's CEO Elliott Hill expressed exasperation that the company-wide turnaround was still eluding him.

AFAIK, Nike manufactures in China, so unless Nike products are shipped to the US and then re-imported back to China, the drop in Chinese sales is unrelated to Trump tariffs.

I doubt that Nike is devastated, but I've not bought Nike shoes since 2015. Hoka and New Balance Fresh Foam series are my current choices.
