Even with the sports world turned upside down by wildcat strikes across the NBA, WNBA, MLS and MLB Wednesday, the third night of the Republican National Convention failed to draw impressive ratings.
About 15.7 million people tuned in to the 10 p.m. block Wednesday night, when Vice President Mike Pence delivered the keynote speech, approximately four million fewer than the night before, when first lady Melania Trump was at bat, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings of six networks

Missouri Lawmakers Gone Wild! Guns For Kids?
Missouri lawmakers advanced a bill Monday that would legally allow people to give firearms to children without their parents’ permission after the governor had initially sought to increase the penalty for the crime.
“Recklessly” giving guns to minors without parents’ permission is currently a misdemeanor offense under Missouri law. But the state House in a voice vote Monday advanced a bill that would ax the crime.

Any Bets On Who Gets The Virus First, Trump or Pence?
Vice President Mike Pence, the White House’s coronavirus point person, offered some of the most pointed comments of the Republican National Convention on the outbreak, vowing on Wednesday night that the U.S. would develop a successful vaccine before the end of the year.
But just moments after presenting himself as a reassuring authority on the raging virus, the maskless vice president, along with President Donald Trump, walked over to greet the mostly mask-free members of the audience, who crowded close to each other on the grounds of Fort McHenry in Baltimore.
