SENATE VOTES TO DEBATE SINATRA’S FOURTH WIFE, ON HEALTHCARE REPEAL BARBARA, DIES AT AGE 90

1

Senate Republicans narrowly agreed to open debate on a bill to repeal Obamacare, but the party’s effort to roll back President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law still faces significant hurdles. The Senate deadlocked 50-50 on whether to move forward with the healthcare debate, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote and send the bill to the Senate floor.

The outcome was a huge relief

for President Donald Trump, who had pushed his fellow Republicans hard in recent days to live up to the party’s campaign promises to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

But the narrow victory on a simple procedural matter raised questions about whether Republicans can muster the votes necessary to pass any of the repeal approaches the Senate will consider. For more, see page 4

Barbara Sinatra, the fourth wife of singer Frank Sinatra, died on Tuesday at the age of 90, her representative said.

John Thoresen, director of the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center in Rancho Mirage, California, said in a statement that Sinatra died of natural causes, surrounded by her family and friends at her home in the desert city. Born Barbara Blakely, she was a former model and Las Vegas showgirl who mar-

A U.S. Navy ship fired warning shots when an Iranian vessel in the Gulf came within 150 yards) on Tuesday in the first such incident since President Donald Trump took office in January, a U.S. official told Reuters. The last major incident was earlier in January, though there have been instances when a U.S. vessel fired a flare as well as an event in March when a U.S. Navy ship

was forced to change course after multiple fast-attack vessels from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard came too close. The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the patrol craft, named Thunderbolt, fired the warning shots after the Iranian vessel approached at high speed and ignored radio calls, flares and the ship’s whistle. The Thunderbolt was accompanied by several U.S. Coast Guard vessels.

The chairman of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee on Tuesday asked the chief executives of Alphabet Inc., Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc., AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and other companies to testify at a Sept. 7 hearing on the future of net neutrality rules.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is considering tossing out 2015 Obama

administration net neutrality rules that reclassified internet service like a public utility.

The rules bar providers from blocking, slowing or offering paid prioritization of websites.

Many internet providers want Congress to step in and write permanent rules. Other chief executives asked to testify include the heads of Comcast Corp., Netflix Inc. and Charter Communications Inc.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY GOP BEGIN (AGAIN) DRAFTING OBAMACARE REPLACEMENT The Senate will now launch what Mitch McConnell has promised will be a robust debate on healthcare that could include a variety of amendments. Senators said several approaches have been discussed, including a straight repeal of Obamacare with no replacement plan, or repealing and replacing the law while also overhauling Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for the poor and disabled.

Senate advances on healthcare, with dramatic return by McCain Republicans have found it difficult to fulfill their campaign promises to repeal Obamacare, which enabled 20 million Americans to get insured.

U.S. Senate Republicans narrowly agreed on Tuesday to open debate on a bill to end Obamacare, but the party’s sevenyear effort to roll back Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law still faces significant hurdles.

The Senate deadlocked 50-50 on moving forward with the healthcare debate, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote.

Sen. John McCain, who was diagnosed this month with brain cancer and has been recovering from surgery at home in Arizona, made a dramatic return to the U.S. Capitol to cast a crucial vote in favor of proceeding.

The outcome was a huge relief for President Donald Trump, who had pushed his fellow Republicans hard in recent days to live up to

the party’s campaign promises to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Minutes after the vote, Trump called it “a big step.”

But the narrow victory on a simple procedural matter raised questions about whether Republicans can muster the votes necessary to pass any of the various approaches to repeal. Moderates are worried repeal will cost millions of low-income

Americans their insurance and conservatives are angry the proposed bills do not go far enough to gut Obamacare, which they consider government overreach.

McCain received an ovation from his fellow senators when he entered the chamber to cast a vote to open debate. After the vote, he decried growing partisanship in the Senate and urged members to learn how “to trust each

other again.”

The 80-year-old, who has been in the Senate for three decades, said he would not vote for the healthcare bill “as it is today,” and added: “I know many of you will have to see the bill changed substantially to support it.”

Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski were the only Republicans to oppose the measure, and with Republicans controlling the Senate by a 52-48 majority, those

Now that senators have voted to proceed with debating a bill ultimately planned as an Obamacare repeal and replacement, many people, including some senators, are wondering what happens next.

Senate rules state that both parties, Republicans and Democrats, will each be given 10 hours to debate the legislation and put forth amendments, Time reported. Then, the socalled “vote-a-rama” will begin, during which time senators will vote on the amendments that were proposed during the previous 20 hours.

“We’re going to be doing a lot of voting this week, I hope you all eat your Cheerios,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn said, according to the Wall Street Journal.

At the end of that process, because some amendments will require 60 votes to pass, which is unlikely in the nearly evenly divided Senate, a “skinny” repeal bill can be expected, the Wall Street Journal added. That bill, which would likely undo some of Obamacare’s requirements but not fully repeal it, would then undergo a round of compromises, called a conference, between House and Senate leaders. JASON NUCKOLLS

were the only votes the party leadership could afford to lose. Democrats were united in opposition to the motion to proceed.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who cast the last and deciding vote to open debate, engaged in a heated discussion with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell before casting his vote and ending the suspense.

A loss on Tuesday could have been a death

blow for Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare, as well as casting doubt on Trump’s prospects to achieve any of his other top legislative agenda items, including tax reform.

“We have a duty to act,” McConnell told senators before the vote, reminding Republicans they had promised to repeal Obamacare in four straight elections. “We can’t let this moment slip by.” REUTERS

Senators caught mocking Trump, fat-shaming congressman on hot mic Two senators forgot the cardinal rule of talking smack following subcommittee meeting Tuesday: Always make sure the mic is turned off.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island were caught on a hot mic at the end of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing questioning President Donald Trump’s mental health and slamming his administration’s understanding of the budget process.

President Donald Trump’s proposed budget eliminates a slew of grants that help provide welfare assistance for

housing and transportation, which Collins said had her “worried.”

“Wherever there was a grant, they just X-ed it out, with no metric, no thinking about it, no nothing. I mean it’s just incredibly irresponsible,” Collins said.

Reed called Trump “crazy,” noting it’s not a phrase he throws around lately.

“If we don’t get a budget deal, we’re going to be paralyzed with DOD,” Reed says, referring to the Department of Defense.

He said without a new spending deal, the defense budget would top out at $549 billion for the

coming fiscal year due to the spending ceiling imposed by the Budget Control Act. Collins said she wasn’t even sure whether Trump even knows the BCA exists.

But Collins’ criticisms weren’t reserved just for Trump, she soon turned her attention to an overweight congressman who challenged Collins to a duel Monday when condemning Senate Republicans who are blocking the legislature’s efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Collins, a Republican, has been a vocal opponent of the Senate health-

care bills so far, speaking out against its cuts to Medicaid and higher out-of-pocket expenses for customers.

Reed told Collins she needn’t worry about Blake Farenthold’s challenge because she “could beat the s— out of him.”

“I don’t mean to be unkind, but he is so unattractive, it’s unbelievable,” Collins responded.

Before the mic cut out, Collins asked Reed if she had seen the 2009 photos of Farenthold in his pajamas at a Texas fundraiser posing beside a “Playboy bunny.”

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Collins

Sen. Susan Collins was overheard criticizing Donald Trump on a live mic. WIKIMEDIA

said Farenthold had sent her a handwritten apology and offered one of her own as well.

“Neither weapons nor inappropriate words are the right way to resolve

legislative disputes,” she said. “I received a handwritten apology from Rep. Farenthold late this morning. I accept his apology and offer him mine.” ERIN TIERNAN

CASSIE’S GOT A GUN: TAKE OUT YOUR AGGRESSION AT PHILLY GUN RANGE You can target practice and fall in love at the same time at Philly Gun Range.

“You’re going to shoot this,” explained Yuri Zalazman, owner of Philly Gun Range, as he held two Smith & Wesson .500s, some of the most popular models of revolver in the world, and

looked a bit like Yosemite Sam when I showed up at his shooting range.

But it’s not all fun and games. Shooting guns is serious business.

Apparently, when you shoot a gun, your body

releases oxytocin, the love hormone, along with adrenaline. So you fall in love with a dangerous weapon that can kill someone or yourself. Thus, training is so important.

Staff at the shooting range, located right off Spring Garden near Ninth Street, took my driver’s license and made me fill out the standard Q&A for a gun purchase (like, “Are you pregnant?”

— apparently, the womb water serves as a sound amplifier), and I was on my way.

A friend and I spent the first hour training with Yuri and our two empty Smith & Wesson guns. These standard police and military guns look almost fake, are light, black and fit my hand well – even with my “long thumbs.”

Learning how to hold a gun is important. This makes sure you don’t end up with some nasty kickback bruising and bleeding when the gun shoots. And you always keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to shoot.

Once we finished training, we put our goggles on, some earmuffs and went into the firing range. There, shell casings were everywhere.

The first few gunshots of our neighbors made me jump as it would any civilian who hears a gunshot. But I told my monkey mind that this was why we were here.

I always loved shooting games, paintball and BB guns, and this didn’t seem too far off.

We started with a smaller gun with a longer barrel, a Ruger Mark II with baby bullets. That first bullet was pretty damn exciting. “You’re a natural,” Yuri encouraged me as I killed the target.

“There’s still some central

CASSIE HEPLER Opinion

PA in you yet, blondie!”

I was flying high until one of the casings kicked back and pinged me in the neck. Another flew back and burnt me as it seared its way down my arm. Perhaps wearing a summer onesie wasn’t the best idea (hey, I had multiple events that day).

Like Pavlov’s dogs, I was now trained to be scared of the flying, burning casings, and I assumed that was not a good mental state for shooting guns. Plus, we were running late for the next adventure. So after two rounds each, we called it quits and were on our way.

I still have the burn marks, which will fade eventually, and I am not mad about it. And I have, not surprisingly, fallen in love with shooting. But next time, it will be outside.

Perhaps in the country, where my roots run deep and guns are plentiful. Maybe if I’m lucky, my dad will even let me in his gun closet, finally!

It’s not the Playboy Mansion, but these bunnies want it Sean ‘Spicy’ Could Sean Spicer be going from the White House to the “Cathouse”?

KIMBERLY M. AQUILINA @KimESTAqui kimberly.aquilina@metro.us

Dennis Hof, the owner of seven Nevada brothels including the famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch, has an indecent proposal for former White House press secretary Sean Spicer: Come work for me.

Spicer, who resigned his political post amid a flurry of fury from President Donald Trump, hasn’t yet decided to replace his White House Easter Bunny costume with whatever one wears (or doesn’t wear) to the Bunny Ranch.

“Me and the Bunny Ranch girls were watching Tucker Carlson on Fox News; he’s a personal friend. He wrote a chapter in my book, and we saw him talking about Sean Spicer,” Hof said.

“The girls felt sorry for him. ‘Daddy, reach out and do something for this man. He’s losing his job — he’s getting run out of there, and we want to help him.’”

Help comes in the form of a six-figure salary for coming to Nevada two weeks out of the month, meals included, “and of course if you work for the Ranch, then you get a little hip slips and fingertips as a bonus for a good job,” Hof explained.

Yes, part of Spicer’s incentive package would include sex with the legal working girls at the Bunny Ranch.

But Hof isn’t just being cheeky about Spicer making a bunny hop to the private sector. This is a serious job offer on the table coming from a man who compares himself to Trump.

Like the president, Hef is also a reality TV maverick. He said his HBO reali-

Famous brothel owner Dennis Hof offered Sean Spicer a job. PROVIDED BY DENNIS HOF

ty show “Cathouse” airs in 67 countries and in 29 languages, and he produces a show on Cinemax titled “Working Girls in Bed.” But the “outgoing in the media eye” businessman and political hopeful said he’d rather “spend more time with the bunnies and less time doing media.”

Hof also needs to free up his time since he plans to run for assemblyman in Nevada’s 36th district in 2018.

When asked how Spicer would know he isn’t walking into another volatile situation, Hof said it comes down to ego.

“I don’t think I have the ego that Trump has. I let my people do their job,” he explained.

“Trump hired this guy to do a job, but he also blasts everything on his Twitter.

And so instead of having to announce news, I saw

him as having to defend things that Trump is saying. … With me, I would just let him do his job.”

Hof also said he feels he communicates better with his employees than Trump does.

And there is no shortage of news, Hof said.

“We’re always banning somebody for being a jerk, like Paris Hilton and Michael Vick and Donald Sterling ’cause he’s a racist and the ‘Duck Dynasty’ idiot because he’s he a homophobic moron. … In fact, we banned him from the ranch for life, but we also gave his daughter a Lesbo for Life pass, meaning she can come out and party with the girls. So, we always have something in the news.”

A spokesman for the brothel told us that Spicer “surprisingly” has not yet accepted the job offer.

Couples Are Raving Over New Sex Cream Find out why couples across the country are raving about a new invention called Sensum Meet the Doctor that’s fixing sexual problems in whole new way. Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager’s new cream triples men’s penile sensitivity while stimulating their partner like nothing we’ve seen before.

By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent Clearwater, Florida – If you are a man, over the age of 40, who struggles with achieving and maintaining a firm erection or has difficulty reaching climax - then you may be in luck!

For a limited time, a breakthrough new invention is being made available to a lucky few who want to experience what’s it’s like to have double, even triple the penile sensitivity.

Meet Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager. He is changing sexual medicine as we know it.

9 Philadelphia Wednesday, July 26, 2017

AMERICA’S “SEX DOCTOR” TO THE RESCUE According to Dr. Yeager, you may suffer from Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS). This can cause loss of confidence, frustration, even depression and anxiety.

“Many men do not feel comfortable telling even their doctor about trouble with erections, and a lack of feeling and pleasure during intercourse.”

After all, the formula for great sex is simple...

The more penile feeling you have, the more aroused you get, which provokes a firm and lasting erection and a full and satisfying orgasm whenever you want. Bottom line: if you don’t have enough “feeling” in your penis, it’s impossible to get an erection.

You’re not alone. Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS) is estimated to strike over 500 million men on a worldwide basis. The condition is commonly associated with aging, diabetes, circumcision, certain surgeries and prescription drugs.

ED pills like Viagra, Cialis and natural pills work for many, but

men with RPS often end up taking more than directed in the hope of increasing their penile sensitivity, and even then they don’t work well enough.

Let’s face it. The inability or long wait to reach orgasm is bad enough.

But failure to achieve a firm erection is devastating! It’s one of the leading causes of relationship problems. And avoiding sex often leads to failed marriage. It’s a horrible problem.

RESTORE SENSITIVITY, ENJOY SEX AGAIN Dr. James Yeager saw firsthand the suffering of his patients. “It’s not their fault. They’ve done nothing wrong. And they are not any less of a man.” Yet he wondered why modern medicine was failing in its mission to provide these men lasting relief.

As a result, he spent long sleepless nights locked up in his lab ... researching every study he could get his hands on regarding penis sensitivity and came up with a cream that changed sexual medicine as we know it.

His biggest discovery? A supernutrient called Cinnamaldehyde.

This special ingredient activates the TRPA1 receptor (IC50= 9.5μM) in your body. It increases the reaction of sensory neurons to stimuli such as warmth, cold and touch. This activation results in more sensitivity of the penis and a more pleasurable sensation.

Dr. Yeager made this super-nutrient the core of a revolutionary new cream called SENSUM+® which promises to give you what no pill can... incredible, long- lasting sensation, even from the slightest touch.

“Like Teenagers Again!”

“This has caused our sex life to be like we are teenagers again!

My wife and I are both much happier and more satisfied. A real life-changer! I am so glad for Dr. Yeager’s invention to fix this problem without dangerous prescription drugs.”

- Robert H., West Palm Beach, FL

HOW IT WORKS SENSUM+® is a blend of essential oils and natural botanicals that can double, even triple your overall penile

sensitivity. It’s like removing your leather gloves -- and feeling your lover with your bare fingers again! So even men who’ve had little feeling in their penis are suddenly able to exercise sexual power over women again. Without worry... anxiety... or a second of doubt.

The word is getting out.

“Even men without E.D. problems are buying up more than we can produce”, says Dr. Yeager’s SENSUM+® triples sexual satisfaction for Dr. Yeager. men by increasing “penile sensitivty”

CLINICALLY PROVEN The clinically-proven nutrients in SENSUM+® help you get and keep a hard erection very easily, and also let you climax when you want to.

For example, Joe Romas, 52, from Oakland, was frustrated he had little penile sensation during sex. This made it take too long to ejaculate. He had nearly given up until he discovered SENSUM+® cream. Within one week of starting he reported, “I now have my old feeling and pleasure back. Sex is fun again and feels great. My wife and I are much happier now.”

SENSITIVITY AND SATISFACTION DOUBLED, TRIPLED SENSUM+® is clinically proven to end the most common male sexual problems fast and effectively. The result of two clinical studies on men, both circumcised and not, show SENSUM+® more than doubled penis sensitivity and more than tripled sexual satisfaction. And what’s more is that their partners enjoyed sex so much more when they used the cream - nearly 300% increase in sexual satisfaction.

Couples are raving.

PRIVACY GUARANTEED SENSUM+® is patent-pending and is equally effective for both circumcised and non-circumcised men. No side effects or medicine interactions have been reported.

The sooner you start using this cream, the sooner you can have more feeling in your penis again to get and keep a hard erection and enjoy sex more than ever.

Philly mom speaks out over financial struggles due to student loans

8 million borrowers in the U.S. are in default on a combined $137.4 billion in student loans.

Lakisha Johnson figured all she needed was her 2016 tax refund to get herself and her daughter out of a homeless shelter and in a place of their own.

Johnson, a homehealth aide, and 12-yearold Aijiah were forced to move out of their West Philadelphia apartment just before Thanksgiving last year, after the landlord jacked up the rent to $875 from $675. Soon, they were living on a bunk bed in the shelter a few blocks from Aijiah’s school. The girl was petrified that a classmate would see her using the secured entrance of the crowded, noisy shelter.

With the $13 an hour

she earns caring for her elderly charges, Johnson planned to stay at the shelter — or with anyone who would let the two sleep on a floor, a couch or a spare mattress — until April. In past years, that’s when she received her federal earned-income-credit tax refund.

The check never came.

On the phone, an Internal Revenue Service agent told her the Department of Education was “holding back” the $8,220 refund to recoup some of her student loan debt. It would probably do the same next year, the agent told her, to recover the rest of the nearly $17,000 she owed.

Johnson was confused.

The two student loans she took out in 2006 in hopes of becoming a medical assistant amounted to only $6,625. Whenever she fell behind on her payments, she would be enrolled in

one of the forbearance plans promoted in a continuous stream of emails she received from Navient Corp., the largest loan servicer working under contract for the DOE. An Oct. 4, 2011, email stated: “You may be able to qualify for a deferment or forbearance, which can postpone your loan payments and keep your loan from going into default.”

She was learning only now that those plans, while allowing her to stall payments, didn’t stop her debt from ballooning as interest and fees piled up.

And she was now in default, prompting the DOE to move to collect.

That was only the half of it. Until contacted by Reuters, Johnson didn’t realize that she could have avoided the entire ordeal by enrolling in one of the government’s incomebased repayment plans — an option she said Navient

never discussed with her.

Most of these plans allow for monthly payments as low as zero and forgive any remaining debt after 20 years.

“I didn’t think it was going to double up or

stack up, or cause me to lose the money I had worked for this whole time,” she says. “This is a big hit. They’ve put me in a deep situation.”

Today, 11 percent of the $1.325 trillion of feder-

al student loans outstanding is severely delinquent or in default, higher than the mortgage-default rate at the peak of the foreclosure crisis in 2010, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. REUTERS

House approves new Russia sanctions, defying Trump The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to slap new sanctions on Russia, and force President Donald Trump to obtain lawmakers’ permission before easing any sanctions on Moscow, in a rare rebuke of the Republican in the White House.

It was unclear how quickly the bill would make its way to the White House for Trump to sign into law or veto.

The bill still has to be passed by the Senate, which is mired in debate over efforts to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system as lawmakers try to clear the decks to leave Washington for their summer recess.

The sanctions bill comes as lawmakers

investigate possible meddling by Russia in the 2016 presidential election and potential collusion

by Republican Trump’s campaign.

Moscow has denied it worked to influence the election in Trump’s favor, and he has denied his campaign colluded.

The White House said the president had not yet decided whether he would sign the measure.

Rejecting the bill — which would potentially hamper

his hopes of pursuing improved relations with Moscow — would carry a risk that his veto could be overridden by lawmakers.

“While the president supports tough sanctions on North Korea, Iran and Russia, the White House is reviewing the House legislation and awaits a final legislative package for the president’s desk,” said spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.

House members backed the bill, which also imposes sanctions on Iran and North Korea, by a near-unanimous margin of 419-3, with strong support from Trump’s fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, despite objections from Trump, who wanted more control over the ability to impose sanctions. REUTERS

Wisconsin company offers employees microchip implants About 50 employees at Three Square Market have agreed to the optional implant of the chips, which are the approximate size and shape of a grain of rice, said Tony Danna, vice president of international sales at the River Fallsbased company.

A Wisconsin vending machine company is offering its employees a chance to have a microchip implanted in their hands that they could use to buy snacks, log in to computers or use the

copy machine.

About 50 employees at Three Square Market have agreed to the optional implant of the chips, which are the approximate size and shape of a grain of rice, said Tony Danna, vice president of international sales at the River Fallsbased company.

The company, which employs 85, said it was the first in the United States to offer staff the technology which is similar to that used by contactless credit cards and chips used to identify pets.

The implants made

by Sweden’s BioHax International are part of a long-term test aimed to see if the radio-frequency identification chips could have broader commercial applications,

Danna said.

“We’ve done the research and we’re pretty well educated about this,” Danna said in an

interview.

The company is holding an Aug. 1 “chip party” where employees will have the device

inserted between their forefinger and thumb using a syringe-like instrument.

The RFID chips use electromagnetic fields to communicate and can be read at a distance of no more than 6 inches, Danna said.

Critics of using chips in humans include Nevada state Sen. Becky Harris, who in February introduced legislation that would make forced installation of microchips illegal.

“It is possible to hack the information that is contained within the chips,” Harris told a state Senate Judiciary Committee meeting at the time.

Former White House photographer shuts down Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boy Scout speech MICHAEL MARTIN @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

At the National Boy Scout Jamboree, President Trump gave a speech that was, by dictionary definition, inappropriate. To a crowd of 35,000 boys who recite a creed that they will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;courteous,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;kindâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverent,â&#x20AC;? the president swore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who the hell wants to talk about politics?â&#x20AC;? he said, before beginning a speech about politics, before an organization that is avowedly apolitical. He talked about

his electoral college victory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chastising Hillary Clinton for not working hard enough in Wisconsin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a cocktail party in New York City.

He threatened Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price, who stood onstage, to round up votes for Trumpcare or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fired.â&#x20AC;?

He goaded the boys into booing President Obama. He plugged the repeal of Obamacare, and the boys chanted

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can assure you, POTUS was not telling this Cub Scout and the Boy Scouts who followed about his electoral college victory.â&#x20AC;?

Pete Souza

White House photographer under President Obama, Souza has become something of a master of the artful Instagram burn. After a particularly grotesque Trump action, he will post a picture from the Obama administration reinforcing presidential norms. For example, after Trump refused to shake German chancellor Angela Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand, Souza posted a photo of she and Obama embracing. After Trump decried members of the G-10 to their faces, Souza posted a shot of Obama and the other leaders laughing effusively.

After yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech, in which Trump criticized Obama for never attending a Jamboree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although Obama

the current administration bearable,â&#x20AC;? one commenter responded.

On Twitter, former Boy Scouts decried President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions more pointedly.

The Boy Scouts of America organization tweeted its official policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that it is apolitical.

But they have not officially criticized the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks.

LOL, Trump blocked Chrissy Teigen Well, it finally happened: President Donald Trump blocked longtime troll and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen on Twitter.

The famously thin-skinned president has made a habit of blocking people who criticize him on the internet, but Teigen has been throwing shade at Trump for nine years without consequence. Until Tuesday.

And all it took to get blocked were five little words.

In response to a post Trump wrote Sunday saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very sad that Republicans, It only took nine years of hate. even some that were

carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.â&#x20AC;?

Teigenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lolllllll no one likes you.â&#x20AC;?

This is far from the first time Teigen has trolled Trump â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she told the president to â&#x20AC;&#x153;grow upâ&#x20AC;? June 8 after he (once again) tweeted that The New York Times was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fake news.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are 71 fâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ing years old,â&#x20AC;? the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lip Sync Battleâ&#x20AC;? host wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grow. The fâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;. Up.â&#x20AC;?

Apparently thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but telling the president no one likes him was enough to make 45â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood boil.

Should we be worried about Sansa Stark?

Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark may not be doing that hot on the new season of “Game of Thrones.” HELEN SLOAN, HBO

We’re two episodes deep into our seven-episode season of “Game of Thrones.” A while back, I wrote an article called “In Defense of Sansa Stark.”

Back then, I had a lot of respect for her character.

“Sansa’s passivity and ‘girliness’ may have gotten her into the situation, but it’s also gotten her out. Her ability to adapt has saved her life. She’s taken her ‘weaknesses’ and turned them into strengths. As we saw in her final moments in season four, she’s adapting yet again, and no one is going to see her coming.”

After this Sunday’s episode, I’m concerned about what’s coming. It’s looking like she’s going to do something stupid. That’s all anyone has said about her since the episode aired. She’s going to join forces with Littlefinger.

She’s going to ally herself with Cersei to prevent Daenerys from taking the North. She’s going to piss off Lyanna Mormont and get her head cut off.

Mormont!) I’m inclined to believe that at least one of those is true. Here’s why I’m fine with it, even though I disagree with her suspected choices.

First of all, it would make total sense. Sansa has been through a hell of a lot. Two marriages were forced on her. She was

beaten, raped and held prisoner more than once.

She was raised to be a soft, delicate princess and she’s been through hell with no preparation. Of course she would resent her “brother” for taking her power away when she just got some in her life.

Some of his choices might not have been the best, or at least it would seem that way to anyone who hasn’t seen the white walkers.

Sansa also just murdered her husband. Yes, he more than deserved to be eaten by dogs.

The thing is, this woman was not trained as a warrior. She had the intestinal fortitude to get it done, but murder has an effect on people. She might not be making good choices after that.

Look, it’s clear that even Arya is starting to show signs of what she’s become. She’s not thinking any clearer than Sam is when he decides to cure Ser Jorah despite what the Maesters will do to him for it. So, maybe now I’m done defending her char-

acter. But there is another reason I bring this up.

I just wanted to say that it’s notable that we have so many female characters doing more than just sitting around or being attacked this season. We had a war room full of Queens and female leaders of all ages.

There are enough female characters of consequence on the show now that one of them making the wrong choices and seeming weak or petty doesn’t stand out.

Sansa doesn’t have to represent her entire sex, which often happens when there just aren’t that many. Many of us get angry when one of the few women on a show is weak or stupid because there just aren’t enough of them. I’ve had my issues with the portrayal of women in “Game of Thrones” in the past, but there are finally enough that I can be annoyed with Sansa and let it stand at that.

Do not piss off Lyanna Mormont.

For the majority of our interview, Lily Collins plays it straight. She sticks to her talking points. She only shifts ever so slightly in the very plush armchair of the Whitby Hotel in Manhattan, glancing here and there at her publicists from underneath her famously glorious brows. But when I tell her Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done asking questions, she immediately relaxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesome!

Great! Cool time!â&#x20AC;? she says, genuinely. Her shoulders loosen, and finally, briefly, her innate charm shines through. We talk about style, we talk about tattoos, and just like that, our time is up.

Of course, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame her. The 28-year-old has been hustling hard lately, promoting both â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Tycoon,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the Bone.â&#x20AC;? The former is yet another take on F. Scott Fitzgeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gilded age, in which the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mirror Mirrorâ&#x20AC;? actress plays the young, tenacious Celia. The latter is a brutally honest look at eating disorders.

Collins plays Ellen, a woman struggling with anorexia, who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so far away from herself.

See, the British-born Los Angeles native is no stranger to eating disorders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most recent articles about the actress and, yes, daughter of Phil Collins are obligated to mention that she had her own battle with anorexia as a teenager. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determined to make her experience the most teachable moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an incredibly therapeutic experience and process for me, â&#x20AC;&#x153; she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible to see how the fire has sparked. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty special.â&#x20AC;?

Here Collins talks leading by example, body positivity, and being in it to win it.

How is your role as Celia on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Tycoonâ&#x20AC;? diďŹ&#x20AC;erent from

the things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done before?

For me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never done anything in the 1930s.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so much going on within the politics of the time that played into how to portray this character.

I really enjoyed playing someone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gogetter, that wants to do more than what people think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of, and [to be able to] do it over the span of so many episodes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a depth you get to show.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super-determined. Have you taken her ruthless approach and applied it to your own career, at all?

Oh, 100 percent! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to produce, direct, write, all that. And seeing someone younger than me do it, to see what she goes through to get it done, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring to me. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the young one, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to fight to be taken seriously. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in it to win it.

project.

I felt just as strongly about things that [Celia] does in terms of how [her film is made], and that it be taken seriously. And that I am heard.

Shifting a bit to your other most recent project. You’ve opened up about your past battle with anorexia in tandem with “To the Bone.” How are you finding balance these days having had to revisit that so much?

It’s definitely helped me, verbalizing things that I probably never would have before.

I wrote my book [“Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me.”] and I did this movie so that other people would feel less alone. And I’ve been given that gift back every day.

Being able to talk about it is really freeing and hearing other people’s stories is also really freeing,

because I can see it in them and I can feel it.

Marti [Noxon, the film’s

director] and I aren’t starting this conversation, we’re amplifying it. So I’m really proud of it.

Body positivity often focuses on accepting the body you have, but sometimes it doesn’t acknowledge smaller or skinnier bodies.

How do you think people can balance body positivity but still be inclusive?

Strong comes in many different forms. I used to view healthy as what perfection looked like, not what healthy felt like.

And for me, food as fuel, not punishment was a really strong mentality to switch over to.

Because when you fuel yourself, when you fuel your body, you are the most powerful version of yourself. So you can’t judge based on what you see — it’s all about how you feel.

So there Theatre Exile was, minding its own business, interacting with South Philadelphia and its East Passyunk Avenue district audiences, during this, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th anniversary season. As South Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only theater complex and resident company, Theater Exile isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only part of the neighborhood to put on rousingly original dramas and comediesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Exile extends itself via educational programs at area schools on a regular basis. Plus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun to walk your dog through Wharton Street Park and watch the stage crews hammering away outside the corner of 1340 S. 13th St. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes

the next bit of news all the more galling: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The landlord put the building up for sale,â&#x20AC;? says Joe Canuso, Theatre Exileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding artistic director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, they offered it to us first, as we had another year left on the lease. But we were not in position to raise that kind of money in the short time he gave us.

He had a figure in mind that was pretty outrageous, so, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, even though the Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp. (PARC) tried helping us raise money.â&#x20AC;?

Canuso was pleased that PARC, and the neighborhood in general, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Theatre Exile to disappear.

He was heartened to hear the offers to aid with funding to keep Exile on that block. Still, the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner wanted to act quickly

because he had a great, solid offer from a reputable Philly developer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long story short, those same developers [Noah Ostroff and Mickey Murray] got the building,â&#x20AC;? says Canuso of the new owners, who wanted to start development of a 23-unit apartment complex (neither Ostroff nor Murray responded to our request for comment).

That the story doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there is where things get really interesting.

Recognizing that Theatre Exile had yet another year on its lease to honor, Canuso and Deborah Block (Theatre Exileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producing artistic director) negotiated with the new owner-developers.

They asked Ostroff/Murray if Theatre Exile broke its lease and left a year early if the developers would be interested in building a theater at that same zoned-commercial

Much negotiation occurred, along with the usual developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surveys about how much its designs would change (Exile would be a basement theater with a first-floor lobby/ticket area).

The sole sticking point â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as in so many negotiations in South Philly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; became the parking. According to city ordinance, a property owner can have a building with up to 24 apartments and not have to worry about providing parking. Add a theater or some commercial property, however, and that same developer must provide 13 parking spaces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying

that if that is the case, the deal was off,” notes Canuso. “So, for us to get into our former space without the necessary parking, we had to have a variance from the zoning board.

Luckily for Theatre Exile, it takes a lot of surveys about the audiences that was perfectly admissible for the board: Most of its attendees don’t drive to Exile; they walk because they live in the neighborhood. Or they bike. Or they take some form of public because the theater is just blocks away from the Broad Street subway. Or people get there via cab and Uber.

“So we were given the variance from the zoning board,” says Block, who said the developers and the architect, Landmark Architectural Design, have been terrific. “We’ve worked with Landmark’s Vincent Mancini and Agata Reister, had many interactions with them and they have been incredibly responsive. We’ve seen the designs and it will be a

beautiful building.”

For now, Exile’s 20172018 season will be held at the Latvian Society at 531 N 7th St., starting Oct. 12 with “Ideation” by playwright Aaron Loeb, with Jackie Sibbles Drury’s “Really” (January 2018) and Michael Hollinger’s “Sing the Body Electric (April 2018) to follow. After that, if things move as swiftly as the developer would like, Theatre Exile could be back in South Philly within a year.

And just in case you were wondering how this went off without too much of a hitch — there is one.

“There seems to an appeal started by one person who wants to push the envelope, who wants that parking to be provided by the developer, who won’t do it — so it’s a Catch-22,” says Canuso.

“Most of the neighbors didn’t have an issue with Theatre Exile, but rather that the apartment building was going up with 23 units without additional parking,” says Block. “I agree that 23

units without parking might be an issue, but it is within their right to do that. I am hoping that their target clients will be Indego or ZipCar folks.

The building will have a green roof, and that will allow them to have up to 24 units. But I think the building is well designed and will be a beautiful addition to the neighborhood.”

Canuso doesn’t expect to lose the appeal, but if he doe, Theatre Exile will

go back to square one and find another space. “Definitely in South Philly, too. Not just because Deb and I live in the neighborhood, but because our roots are here. We’re very connected to the community, have our outreach program here, where we work with kids at Southern High and Andrew Jackson and we’re the only theater company in South Philly. This will always be Theatre Exile’s home.”

War II, however, automobiles opened up the outer suburbs and the neighborhood began a slow descent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a time 30 years ago,â&#x20AC;? says realtor John Featherman, Associate Broker at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services - Fox & Roach Realtors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live west of 38th Street, north of Chestnut or south of Larchwood.â&#x20AC;?

All that has changed, however. Now one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Philadel-

phia, Spruce Hill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Market to Woodland and 40th to 46th Streets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finds itself in the enviable position of near complete market saturation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no longer vacant properties and very little housing inventory,â&#x20AC;?

Featherman confides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Realtors canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get owners to list their homes fast enough to keep pace with demand.â&#x20AC;? In fact, there are currently only nine houses on the market.

Instrumental in that turn-around has been West Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hos-

pitals and universities, particularly Penn, which pioneered a program to provide employees with incentives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; closing cost reductions and forgivable loans for home improvements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to assist with purchasing and rehabbing homes in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People used to live in Center City and commute to University City,â&#x20AC;? says Featherman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they want to live in the neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? While gentrification began within the desirable Penn Alexander school catchment, it has now expanded particularly among buyers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have school-aged children and recognize that living outside the catchment can save them $50,000-$100,000 on a purchase price.

One of the things that makes Spruce Hill is special, says Featherman, is that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;architecture here is great; there are tons of Victorians and older homes with character,

many with updates on the inside.â&#x20AC;? Along with terrific homes, the neighborhood offers residents lots of amenities particularly near 40th and Walnut â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which boasts a Fresh Grocer supermarket and multiplex cinema â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the bustling Baltimore Avenue commercial corridor, which Featherman says â&#x20AC;&#x153;used to be a dividing line, but is now a multi-cultural backbone.â&#x20AC;? The areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethnic diversity not only makes the neighborhood more vibrant, but offers residents a smorgasbord of food choices: Southeast Asian, Mediterranean and African restaurants sit side-by-side.

Clark Park is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;microcosm of Spruce Hill,â&#x20AC;? says Featherman, and exudes â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Philly character that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anywhere else.â&#x20AC;?

Eagles’ Cox will be better in 2017 Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz thinks the team’s offseason moves will noticeably benefit star pass rusher Fletcher Cox. EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

Ask any Eagles fan or NFL expert and they’ll tell you that Fletcher Cox is the team’s most important player. And most wellcompensated.

But despite a Pro Bowl nod last season, his production seemed to trail off after getting three sacks in his first three games with a total of just 6.5 — a year after collecting 9.5 in 2015.

“Last year when [Fletcher Cox] had such a good start, that first month, teams adjusted,” Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said.

“They started taking him away, and we didn’t win enough one on ones away from him because that other tackle got the one on ones. Well, that happened in OTAs, and Tim-

After getting paid, big time, the pressure is on for Fletcher Cox to perform next season.

my [Jernigan]’s able to get good pressure.”

The Eagles subtly have upgraded their pass rush, and the supporting cast, in theory, will make things easier for Cox. Jernigan was a sly and underappreciated offseason acquisition in a trade that was essentially a

swap of mid-round draft picks. He replaces Bennie Logan up the middle and at 24 still has his best football ahead of him. He had five sacks with the Ravens last season.

“I don’t know if it flew under the radar, but it was an important acquisition for us,” Schwartz

GETTY IMAGES

said of Jernigan. “I think that will affect our passrush as much as bringing a first-round draft pick or veteran player into the mix.

“It’s not just drafting a guy like Derek [Barnett] or bringing a guy like Chris [Long] in. I think Jernigan is really

going to be a big addition for us. He was hard to handle inside.”

The core of pass rushers affords the Birds the ability to be creative and thing outside the box when they try and get to the opposing team’s passer, something the 26-year-old Cox is excited

about as the new season approaches.

“We’ve done a few different things to not only free me up but to free guys like Vinny [Curry] up and Chris Long, who is a great rusher,” Cox said a few weeks ago during OTAs. Add Brandon Graham, Marcus Smith and Beau Allen to that mix and the Eagles have a very deep pool of pass rushers to play with, affording Doug Pederson and Schwartz the ability to rotate the line often.

“The thing here is we rotate so many guys up front that you don’t have to conserve your energy,” Schwartz said Tuesday in a press conference with the media after training camp practice concluded.

“You can play wide open, and you guys get tired of my baseball analogies, but I always compare it to guys coming out of the bullpen. You can throw a lot different if you’re only throwing one inning than you can if you’re a starter and you’re out there for 100 pitches. I think that’s something that can [be beneficial].”

What will Flyers resemble in 2017-18? Here’s what fans think Roster competition is nothing new for the Flyers.

Yet, this year feels a lot different than those camp battles in the past.

There’s a chance that from top to bottom, this year’s Flyers lineup is as skilled as any they’ve had in recent years. There’s a mix of veterans in their prime and youth infusion that Flyers fans are hoping equate to a perfect balance.

With so many possibilities, this September will be a fun one to watch as management figures out who goes where.

Metro sent out a form for our readers and followers with the simple task of setting the lines and the defensive pairings Here are the results: 1st line: Jordan Weal (39.5%) – Claude Giroux (98.1%) – Jake Voracek (63.3%) 2nd line: Travis Konecny (50.7%) – Nolan Patrick (47.4%) – Wayne Sim-

Starting lineup: (in order of a player’s percentage appearing on each ballot)

The Flyers’ 2017-18 roster has a lot of questions surrounding it.

monds (58.1%) 3rd line: Oskar Lindblom (48.8%) – Sean Couturier (50.7%) – Valterri Filppula (62.8%) 4th line: Michael Raffl (47.9%) – Jori Lehtera (48.8%) – Scott Laughton (60%) 1st pair: Ivan Provorov (93.5%) – Radko Gudas (50.7%) 2nd pair: Shayne Gostisbehere (78.6%) – Sam Morin (54.9%) 3rd pair: Robert Hagg (50.2%) – Travis Sanheim (46.5%)

GETTY IMAGES

Goalie in a must-win game: Brian Elliott (80.5%) A lot has been made about Scott Laughton, but early indications suggest fans are ready for Laughton’s chance.

If it’s not Weal on the top line, fans voted in Travis Konecny (33%) as the next best bet.

It’s unlikely that you’ll see three rookies in the defensive pairings, so expect Travis Sanheim to begin in Lehigh Valley.

If all three do somehow

The 100% club: Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Couturier, Konecny, Gostisbehere The rest: Filppula (99.5%) Patrick (99.5%) Gudas (96.2%) Weal (95.8%) Morin (92%) Lindblom (91.6%) Hagg (71.6%) Raffl (70.6%) Laughton (63.7%) Sanheim (62.7%) Lehtera (55.3%) MacDonald (43.7%) Vecchione (40.9%) Weise (40%) Read (29.3%) Manning (16.7%) Myers (15.3%) Leier (14.4%)

make the roster, fans would rather see Andrew MacDonald as the extra man than Brandon Manning it seems. KYLE PHILLIPPI

USMNT set for Gold Cup final vs. Jamaica The Americans will be shooting for their sixth Gold Cup title tonight.

RICH SLATE @RichSlate

sports@metro.us

It might not have the same juice that Mexico vs. USMNT would have naturally possessed but still, the American men are playing for their sixth Gold Cup title on Wednesday night (9:30, FS1) as they host Jamaica at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It remains a very meaningful match regardless of the CONCACAF opponent.

Despite some sketchy moments early on in the tourney, the United States was expected to be here and they performed well in the semifinals on Saturday night as they dispatched Costa Rica, 2-0, at AT&T Stadium in Dallas thanks to a pair of second half goals from long-time standouts Jozy Altidore

Clint Dempsey of the USMNT celebrates a goal.

and Clint Dempsey (his 57th tally for the USMNT, tying Landon Donovan’s record). For a tournament that has been devoid of many great games or moments, the Jamaicans undoubtedly provided the biggest upset of these past three weeks as they shocked Mexico, 1-0, on Sunday night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Califor-

ship since 2013 (a 1-0 win over Panama), and while they have gone 14-2-8 alltime vs. Jamaica (including 11-1-3 on American soil and 3-1-0 in the Gold Cup), that lone Gold Cup defeat remains painful since it happened in the 2015 semifinals (a 2-1 Jamaica victory). Jamaica has only been to the World Cup once - in 1998

nia. New York Red Bulls defender Kemar Lawrence’s brilliant free kick in the 88th minute proved to be the game-winner in one of his country’s bestever sporting results: it was the first time that they had ever beaten Mexico at a Gold Cup. Head coach Bruce Arena’s team is bidding for its first Gold Cup champion-

- so while it is not a powerhouse by any means, it is more than capable of pulling off another surprising result. For MLS fans, there should be some familiar names on Jamaica as eight players on their current roster compete professionally stateside. Former UConn star Andre Blake has been the best goalkeeper in the Gold Cup

with three clean sheets to his credit. Other MLS players include defenders Oniel Fisher (Seattle), Shaun Francis (Montreal), Alvas Powell (Portland) and Jermaine Taylor (Minnesota) along with midfielder JeVaughn Watson (New England) and forward Darren Mattocks (Portland).

As an American, it’s tough to muster much negativity towards Jamaica since it’s such a popular vacation/honeymoon spot, plus The Reggae Boyz might be the best nickname of any country’s national soccer team in the world. Mexico dominated possession vs.

Jamaica (69-31 percent) but they each ended up with the same amount of shots on goal (5). The U.S. will have to be purposeful in its attacking runs since Jamaica will most likely take a similar approach of waiting back and then trying to capitalize on its few golden chances (free kicks, corner kicks, etc.).

The USMNT seems to be peaking at the right time.

metro.us/horoscopes Aries Aim to work hard and play to win. If you do your best, you won’t be disappointed with the results. Precision and attention to detail will pay off.

Libra An emotional issue will arise if you don’t agree with a sibling, friend or neighbor. Be careful not to offend anyone or let someone put demands on you.

Taurus Look for solutions that you know are a good fit. Conservative action will keep you out of harm’s way. A business trip will be informative. Learn as you go.

Scorpio Refrain from offering too much.

Guard against being taken advantage of by someone you are trying to help. Offer suggestions, but don’t do the work yourself.

Gemini Emotional self-deception and being misled by others are prominent. Don’t make a move or a promise until you have facts and figures to back you up.

Sagittarius Communication will be difficult and confusing today. Ask questions if you feel uncertain or think someone is leaving out information you need to make a good decision.

Cancer Facts will help you persuade others to do things your way. Anger will not solve problems, but realistic propositions will. A moderate plan and strategy are favored.

Capricorn Discipline and hard work, along with being relatively quiet about your plans, will help you achieve your goals. Don’t let a personal incident slow you down.

Leo Refuse to let anyone take advantage of your helpful nature or manipulate you emotionally. Size up whatever situation you face and offer only what you feel is sufficient.

Aquarius Think twice before you make a change to your appearance. Behaving excessively will turn into a costly affair. Discipline will be required to avoid a risky experiment.

Virgo Keep your facts straight and ask questions if something that someone says sounds suspicious. Being informed will help you avoid making a mistake.

Pisces Get to the bottom of a situation that is uncertain or confusing. Someone’s persuasive tactics will put you in a vulnerable position. Think before acting. EUGENIA LAST
