Man Dedicates His Life to Adopting Senior Dogs Who Need Homes

File this one under “best stories of the year.” Steve Grieg is passionate about adopting senior dogs and farm animals. In fact, he’s adopted a whopping 10 senior dogs, along with a pig, chickens, ducks, fish, and pigeons. He documents the whole gang’s adventures on hisInstagram, which has nearly 600K followers—and deservedly so.

Grieg is an accountant in Colorado and a lifelong animal lover. He regularly checks in on shelters for older, less-adoptable dogs, because he wants to give them a great second shot at life.

First to join Grieg’s family was 12 year-old Chihuahua Eeyore, who suffered from a heart murmur. From there, he’s added nine more aging dogs to his pack! “They’re just wiser animals,” he told the Dodo. “You kind of know what you want out of life once you become a certain age.”

Trump was serious about making NATO members pay up—and that’s a good thing

America’s allies have been unsure what to make of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency. Would Trump withdraw the United States from the world as they feared or would he instead try to alter the relationship between the U.S. and their countries?

According to a phone call that was held on Tuesday between Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, the answer is the latter. During the presidential campaign, Trump raised the issue of NATO countries not paying enough toward their own defense. He even went so far as to threaten not to defend them unless they paid up.

During today’s phone call between May and Trump, the two leaders pledged to work together to get all NATO members to spend the 2 percent of GDP on defense that’s required by their charter. Right now, only five members in the 28-nation alliance—America, the U.K., Poland, Estonia, and Greece—spend at least the 2 percent amount. France comes the next closest at 1.8 percent of GDP on defense.

Among the freeloaders are nations bordering Russia and Ukraine, such as Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Hungary. Wealthy nations such as Germany, Canada, Italy, and The Netherlands spend only an average of 1 percent to 1.2 percent on defense. Amazingly, Belgium and Spain pony up less than 1 percent of GDP for defense.

Luxembourg only spends 0.4 percent GDP on defense, but its population is only 578,000. They can probably get a pass on this, but the rest of NATO’s members shouldn’t.

RELATED: Donald Trump is right: America should stop subsidizing Europe’s defense

Why don’t European countries want to spend more on their militaries? Because they prefer to rely on the United States for security guarantees and instead put money into building up their welfare states. Take, for example, Denmark, which only spends 1.2 percent of GDP on defense.

From Bloomberg:

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Denmark last met the NATO spending target in the final years of the Cold War, when Soviet forces were stationed across the Baltic Sea. Since then, the ratio of Danish spending has dropped consistently and totaled 23.2 billion kroner ($3.31 billion), or 1.2 percent of GDP, in 2015.

Helge Pedersen, a Copenhagen-based chief economist at Nordea Bank AB, estimates that meeting the 2 percent mark again would require about 15 billion kroner in extra defense spending.

That’s how much Denmark spends each year on supporting its universities, or five years of child support for its families.

To be fair, the Danes have contributed troops to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the war against ISIS. They would argue that they have paid the price for their NATO membership in blood, losing 7 soldiers in Iraq and 43 soldiers in Afghanistan. The Danes are also planning to increase defense spending this year by 800 million kroner.

RELATED: Trump’s Muslim registry is a terrible idea — so was Democrats’ watchlist gun ban

Even if countries can’t hit the 2 percent of GDP threshold, they can and should do more for their own defense. The United States should not completely withdraw from Europe or disband the NATO alliance, but it should not be expected to effectively subsidize wealthy Western Europe’s bloated welfare states. If the current status quo continues, then NATO will become obsolete as far as American interests are concerned.

This is one issue Donald Trump should continue to press with America’s allies. It may require some European nations to set priorities on spending, but it’s past time they paid their fair share.

Trump’s Nightmare Before Christmas: GOP Senator To Introduce Bill For Russian Hack Select Panel

Republican Senator Corey Gardner of Colorado will defy President-elect Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell by introducing a bill that would create a special panel to investigate Russian hacking and election meddling.

Republican Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado will defy President-elect Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell by introducing a bill that would create a special panel to investigate Russian hacking and election meddling.

Politico reported:
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) told POLITICO he would introduce a bill that, if passed, would mandate a new select Senate committee on cybersecurity. The move could intensify pressure on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who so far has resisted appointing a select committee on cybersecurity. He insists the chamber’s traditional committees, led by the intelligence panel, should handle the issue.

….

“From North Korea’s hack of Sony Pictures to Iran’s attack on a New York dam, it’s evident that we are facing a growing cybersecurity challenge. The nature and complexity of recent cyber-attacks require a whole of government approach to cyberspace and the development of federal policy to mitigate the threat and protect everything from personal information to the security of our critical infrastructure,” Gardner said in a statement.

Mitch McConnell didn’t want a select panel because he knew about the hacking activities in October and rejected a proposed joint bipartisan statement with President Obama before election day.

By sending the investigation to a regular committee, McConnell is hoping to tap down the level of publicity that the investigation could generate. A select panel will be a big screaming red flag to the mainstream media. The press will be looking for stories on the new Trump administration, and a select panel would be the perfect fit to dominate cable news.

Golf News: U.S. Women's Open won't move off Trump National Golf Club

The United States Golf Association said it is not considering moving the 2017 U.S. Women's Open from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., after three United States senators sent a letter to the organization requesting the change

Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, all Democrats, asked USGA executive director Mike Davis to consider suspending further events at properties owned by Trump.

They asked for the move because of the Republican presidential nominee's "pattern of degrading and dehumanizing women" over decades.

The Trump Organization declined comment.

USGA spokeswoman Janeen Driscoll said in an email that the organization's stance on Trump has not changed since it issued a statement a couple of months ago saying it would not move the tournament.

Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey joined the other senators in calling for the event to be moved, but only if the tournament stays in the state.

Menendez says people in New Jersey who depend on the jobs that come from hosting the event should not be penalized.

PGA announces new tournament in South Korea

The PGA Tour announced a new tournament for the 2017-18 schedule, the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges, which will be played at the Club at Nine Bridges in Jeju Island, South Korea.

The CJ Corporation will be the title sponsor for the event, which will be played for the first time on Oct. 19-22, 2017.

"This announcement is a historic landmark for the PGA Tour as we add another tournament in Asia," said Jay Monahan, deputy commissioner of the PGA Tour. "We had such a phenomenal experience in Korea last year at the Presidents Cup, and we hoped an official, permanent event in this great country would be the result of that success. ...

"We have a tremendous population of Korean golfers on the PGA Tour, and we anticipate that will continue as the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges inspires a new generation of players, not only in Korea, but also around the world."

In 2016, there were 20 South Koreans with membership on the PGA Tour or the Web.com Tour.

This will be the third tournament on the PGA Tour schedule in Asia, joining the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China, and the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The PGA Tour also is opening an office in Tokyo, and it hired Masashi Ishii as vice president and managing director of its business in Asia.

Byron Nelson moves to Dallas

The AT&T Byron Nelson will move from Four Seasons Las Colinas to Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas in 2018, the PGA Tour announced.

Trinity Forest, located 10 miles south of downtown Dallas, is an 18-hole, links-style course designed by two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw and renowned golf course designer Bill Coore.

The 2017 AT&T Byron Nelson will be played for the last at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, from May 15-21.

"We are forever grateful to Four Seasons and the City of Irving for a long, prosperous partnership that has enabled us to raise over $150 million for Momentous Institute, impacting over 100,000 lives," said David Watson, chairman of the board for the AT&T Byron Nelson. "We look forward to our tournament's future and continuing to change the odds for kids."

AT&T, the tournament's title sponsor since 2015, has its headquarters in Dallas.

The tournament, first played as the Texas Victory Open in 1944 when it was won by future tournament host Byron Nelson, is one of the longest-running tournaments on the PGA Tour.

Sergio Garcia of Spain won the tournament for the second time in a playoff over Brooks Koepka earlier this year.

Name Change

The name of the second event in the FedExCup playoffs was changed from the Deutsche Bank Championship to the Dell Technologies Championship, the PGA Tour announced.

The tournament will continued to be played at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.

"This tournament has long been an exceptional event, and generates a positive impact on New England's charities, communities and economy," said Bill Scannell, president of sales and customer operations at Dell EMC.

"Dell Technologies is very pleased to build upon EMC's legacy as a cornerstone supporter of the event, which has become a Labor Day tradition for many families as well as our customers and partners."

The tournament will be played next Sept. 1-4 with its traditional Monday finish on Labor Day.

Dell also hosts a World Golf Championships event, and the name of that tournament was changed to the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. It will be held March 22-26, 2017, at Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas, where Dell has its headquarters.

Rich Brady, who has served on the tournament staff for six years, was named executive director of the Dell Technologies Championship.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland captured the last Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in September and went on to claim the FedExCup by winning the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.

College Golf

Top-ranked Bronte Law leads No. 5 UCLA into the second annual East Lake Cup, which pits four of the top women's and men's college teams in a three-day event beginning Monday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

In the women's event, the Bruins will be joined by fourth-ranked Stanford, the 2014 NCAA champion and 2015 runner-up; defending national champion Washington and No. 25 Duke.

"UCLA is very excited to have the opportunity to compete in the East Lake Cup this year," coach Carrie Forsyth said. "We had an excellent postseason run last year and feel fortunate to have the chance to participate in such a prestigious event held on an amazing golf course.

"This will be our first time playing in this tournament, and we look forward to the match-play format and all the exciting golf we are sure to experience."

On the men's side, Oregon, the defending NCAA champion and No. 20 in the current rankings, will face top-ranked Illinois, No. 2 Vanderbilt and No. 14 Texas.

Featured in the men's tournament are top-ranked Wyndham Clark of Oregon, No. 3 Dylan Meyer of Illinois, No. 5 Gavin Hall of Texas, No. 6 Mattias Schwab of Vanderbilt, No. 8 Doug Ghim of Texas, No. 14 Patrick Martin of Vanderbilt, No. 21 Nick Hardy of Illinois.

Illinois captured the inaugural men's event last year and USC won the women's tournament at East Lake, where the PGA Tour plays its Tour Championship at the end of every season to determine the winner of the FedExCup.

The individual stroke-play championship will be held Monday, followed by match-play semifinals Tuesday and the match-play final Wednesday.

The tournament will be telecast each day from noon-3 p.m. EDT on Golf Channel.

Charles Schwab Cup playoffs

Bernhard Langer of Germany withdrew last week before the start of the PowerShares QQQ Championship, the opening event of the inaugural Charles Schwab Cup playoffs, because of a left knee injury. He hopes to return this week.

Langer, two-time defending Charles Schwab Cup champion who leads the point standings on the PGA Tour Champions, said he aggravated the injury at home doing his usual spinning routine. He had an MRI exam early in the week and still hoped to make it to the first time for round one.

"The last thing I want to do is try and play and do further damage and then I can't play next week or the following week, which that would really be bad if I can't play the Schwab Cup," Langer said.

"You know, the priority is to get my health. You can't play golf if you're not healthy. The game is hard enough when you're healthy, you don't need to be injured."

Langer amassed 2,697,459 points this season and will remain atop the standings heading to the Dominion Charity Classic, second event of the playoffs, which starts Thursday at the Country Club in Richmond, Va.

With $2,697,459 in earnings this season, thanks to four victories and 16 top-10 finishes in 19 starts, Langer mathematically clinched his eighth PGA Tour Champions money title in nine years.
