No Difference Between Biden and Harris

As soon as Kamala Harris had officially started her campaign the odds had shifted drastically in her favor to represent the Democratic Party this November, and her odds to win the White House were also on the move. Before the debate Joe Biden sat as the presumptive favorite to win re-election. The debate brought that number down to a slight underdog, and when there was an attempt on Donald Trump's life and the heroic aftermath, Biden's odds dipped once more.

Trump's Eagle Settles It

This week President Trump played a round of gold with one of the world's best golfers in Bryson DeChambeau. Bryson and President Trump played a contest with an attempt to break 50 from the red tees.The man who just about two weeks ago avoided an asassination attempt was on his A game for the contest, and the sports world took notice. President Trump not only looked good on the course but he also scored a solo eagle. If you understand golf you will understand how incredible of a feat that was.The X universe (formerly known as Twitter), exploded with video of the 45th president's shot and the shocked and giddy reaction of DeChambeau matched the swing itself. For many golf insiders an eagle is almost as difficult as a hole in one but for a 78 years old that is an even more impressive shot. Trump continued to impress on the day but all anyone will remember is that eagle. Joe Biden claimed to have a 6 handicap, but this all but settles the golf debate.

Sell The Farm - Yankees Trade Targets

The Bombers have some pretty obvious holes. Third base has been a major need all season long.

The bullpen is an issue as well and needs more than just one piece, but a lefty reliever is a must have. The fanbase would also like a starter and impact bat, but as the want list gets longer, the competition to fill those needs gets greater.Here are the most likely Yankee trade targets to watch in the next week plus:
