Left Coast Sports Babe

I love sports

Sometimes how can you not?

–

A very good day for American women in the Olympics.

Of coursse you wonldn’t know it from the hater in chief.

Makes sense, not only are they not genulecting and in some cases speaking out against hate, Olympic gold medalist are taking attention from HIM.

–

A South Carolina mother whose 7 year old uunvaccinated son contracted measles that resulted in encephalitis says she still wouldn’t have given him the vaccine..

She says “God has chosen Ethan for a reason.”

The child has been hospitalized for a month and may have permanent brain damage.

And wonder how much of the huge medical bills her son is facing to survive, and how much money he will need to live for the rest of his lie, our taxpayer dollars will need to cover.

–

Conservative GOP Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt “Should the Feds take over elections? 100% Not. This belongs at the state level. The federal government ends up breaking things..”

Attacks by Trump on Stitt in 3.2.1..

–

Donald felt asleep in his “Bored of Peace” meeting today. At least he didn’t fall of his chair. GOP would have blamed the chair

–

Fox News website front page headline: “Report flagging eye-popping use of taxpayer dollars has Dem WH hopeful in hot seat.”

Not saying it’s GOP State Auditor attacking Andy Beshear.

Over things like $186.000 in travel for a governor over a year.

Nothing from Fox on FBI Kash Patel’s $75k trip to Olympics, while Nancy Guiffre remains missing. (not to mention how much taxpayers are probably paying for him to bring his girlfriend along)

–

Great Britain has arrested now former Prince Andrew.

Rich and powerful men around the world are paying a price for the Epstein files.

And Pam Bondi along with GOP still protect the man from Mar-A-Lago.

–

Trump is a big fan of British Royalty. If Donald and Andrew were in proximity it’s quite likely he’d have hung out with the former Prince… Wonder if Andrew will be questioned about that now.

Nonpolitical question – So since Olympic figure skaters are increasingly skating to rock songs, and songs with a change in tempo really showcase skills, when is someone going to skate to “Free Bird?”

–

And now it’s Tony Clark who had to resign as head of MLBPA over an alleged inappropriate relationship with his sister in law?

Sometimes hard not to think that men are just not suited to be in positions of power.

–

So was this 2020 interview the only time Stephen Colbert complied with Brendan Carr’s newly made-up “equal time for rivals” rule for late night?

(And this was in May, after both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar had endorsed Joe Biden.)

–

As Amy Klobuchar pointed out:

“GOP gave ICE $75 BILLION more funding, instead of giving $$ to local police.
And instead of spending time on training ICE unleashed horrific conduct, bounty system, detaining legal citizens.

Thinking it doesn’t matter to you? Other than the fact that any city could be the next Minneapolis…. this uses taxpayer dollars from all 50 states.

–

Meanwhile, with all the other disasters unleashed by this administration…

How many remember Donald’s promise to end the Russia Ukraine war on day one?

Putin must be so proud.

NY Times today: “Trump Said He’d End the War in a Day, but It’s Worsened for Ukrainians”

–

A judge just ruled that Trump officials have done ‘nothing’ to show that Abrego Garcia’s continued ICE detention is in line with due process and ordered Garcia freed.

I am sure Donald will respond to this defeat in a mature fashion…

–

So after Colbert leaves in May who else is completely done with CBS?.

Still no words of congratulations or support for Team USA from the White House.

Do we think Trump knows the Olympics are going on?

Or is he just sulking becaus they haven’t given him a medal.

–

Apparently Trump golfed on our taxpayer dime this weekend with Ron DeSantis, Nick Saban (diappointing) and Tommy Tuberville. When asked on Air Force One about golf was with Ron Desantis he responded

“Ron and a couple of other people. Two great coaches.

Then when asked: Who won?

Trump: I didn’t play today because I’m working on other things. Much more important than golf.

1 He can’t remember Saban’s nor Senator Tubby’s name.

2. Did he forget he played? Or is he too infirm to play?

–

–

FIFA is apparently concerned that World Cup tickets sales aren’t going well, and that there doesn’t seem to be much “hype” or the event… And they say they don’t know why.

Guess when FIFA spent all that money on the golden trophy for Trump it didn’t leave them enough left over to buy a clue.

–

Hey Tom Emmer and other GOP liars about the SAVE Act.

How about this for a simple solution.

New rule for voting/prescriptions:

Women should have to show the same sort ID to vote as men have to do to purchase Viagra.

–

Anderson Cooper is CBS’s latest loss

But where’s the poll on when Trump sours on and fires Bari Weiss?

–

Going to miss Stephen Colbert. His comment tonight on the Wall Street Journal allegations that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are romantically involved “Here’s a suggestion Corey, don’t try it doggie style.”

No individual medal

–

But this is sportsmanship. And more maturity after crushing defeat from Ilia Malinin, 21, than from many much older athletes (and politicians)

–

Reminder, for all the rants Trump has had time for this week, including against Olympic athletes, and his pardons for former NFL players…

Donald still hasn’t found time to congratulate any Olympic medal winners.

–

Trump randomly pardoned five NFL players today for various crimes including drug trafficking today.

Amazed he didn’t posthumously pardon OJ Simpson.

–

To trolls who defend Trump nonstop.

Yes, there are often 2 sides to every story.

But ask yourself, how can it be that EVERY time Trump loses, he says someone cheated, EVERY time someone says he is lying, they are lying & EVERY time someone criticizes him he calls them an enemy?

–

So Kristi Noem tried to fire the pilot of her private plane because she thought he lost her blanket?

I guess he’s lucky she didn’t try to shoot him.

–

The “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal” award?! My bad, I honestly thought this was satire But why don’t they just give him the “Black Lung” award?

As Pam Bondi still somehow has a job, reminder or history lesson, Bill Clinton had to withdraw TWO attorney general nominees because that they didn’t pay social security taxes for their nannies.

–

Has Donald sent a Valentine to himself yet?

Super Bowl LX is finally over.

What time tomorrow does the Super Bowl LXI pre-game start?

–

Green Day sang American Idiot before the Super Bowl.

I feel for whoever was on ketchup duty at Mar-A-Lago.

–

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

So how does any Christian have a problem with Bad Bunny?

Hey NFL

Am fine with it on the West Coast, but it was about 9:00 PM on a school/work night at Super Bowl halftime for folks back east.

How are kids or people with early start times at their jobs on Monday supposed to stay up to watch?

–

How long until Trump, friends with Robert Kraft and the sorest loser ever, invades Seattle?

And Donald is probably so mad at Bad Bunny that if another hurricane hits Puerto Rico he won’t throw them more paper towels.

–

Some garbage time scoring but for most of the Super Bowl former Saints and now Broncos coach Sean Payton has to be thinking that he’d be doing better against the Seahawks with 47 year old Drew Brees who can now only throw left-handed.

–

ICYMI.

Megyn Kelly, who wants to strip Olympian Hunter Hess of his ability to represent the USA, is same woman who tried to excuse Jeffrey Epstein for targeting teen girls:
“There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?”.

Absolutely the WORST people

–

S is the Spoiled-Brat-In-Chief now going to demand a loyalty oath from all athletes who qualify for the Olymp

–

Olympic Skier Hunter Hess represents the United States far better than the angry elderly man in the White House.

Well the world hasn’t completely gone insane.

Drew Brees was selected as an NFL first ballot Hall of Famer.

–

Just saying, if you are looking for television to have on in the background that is a mental cleanse from the news these days, can highly recommend Olympics curling!

–

There was literally his headline on Fox News today “Trump cuts aid to three Mexican countries.”

We have not just become a sh*thole country, we have become a stupid country.

–

So has Speaker Mike Johnson said yet that he hasn’t heard mob boss Donald Trump tie infrastructive funding to his demand that Dulles Airport and Penn Station be renamed for him?

–

So how do I couch this?

Sometimes I really do believe Trump chose Vance as his VP because JD is so loathsome Donald figured he was impeachment insurance.

–

Trump told NBC News he will accept GOP losses in the 2026 midterm elections only if they are honest.

This is a man who has never accepted losing in ANYTHING.

He cheats at golf, calls the Nobel prize rigged, and I’ll bet even his grandchildren won’t play board games with him.

Daily Mail with the comedy line of the day

“Turning Point USA announces star-studded lineup for its rival Super Bowl halftime show after Bad Bunny backlash.”

“Star-studded?””

TPUSA show will include Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.

–

Washingtonian magazine today on the Kennedy Center closing “The center is among the many local landmarks Trump plans to put his characteristic stamp on. One hopes Dulles won’t have to close as well.”

This would be funnier if it didn’t seem so possible.

–

Seizing ballots in Georgia, getting a whistleblower complaint against her so bad it can’t even be unsealed…?

So who knew Tulsi Gabbard might end up doing something awful?

Except everybody.

–

They’re figuring it out?

White woman who owns a restaurant in West VIrginia interviewed on MSNow saying “Yes, ICE should be going after criminals, but not chasing line cooks down the street.”

–

Donald Trump keeps insisting he won Minnesota 3 times.

He LOST Minnesota 3 times. Solidly.

Minnesota also has 3 Congressional Republicans who won their seats. It wasn’t a Democratic juggernaut. (Although Amy Klobuchar won 12 districts Donald won.)

Is he deluded or lying?

–

Thinking Trump hires “the worst of the worst” on purpose.

He knows that most of them couldn’t get jobs in any other administration, and at this point, maybe anywhere in the US in future..

So job security (and increasingly, staying out of prison) keeps them loyal.

–

Trump this morning “Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” How many times has Speaker Johnson said he didn’t hear that yet?

–

And tonight he’s ranting about a Harvard story in the NY Times and claiming he has the best poll numbers in history

He’s not just sundowning. It’s a total eclipse of his mind…

I was this many years old when I realized there are actually betting lines on the Flag Football NFL Pro Bowl.

And if you knew this and already had placed bets, you just MIGHT have a gambling problem.

–

WTF?

Tonight’s email fundraising request comes from “Quarterback Donald J. Trump.”

Asking for a “$47 donation for a touchdown.”

Grandpa is off his meds again.

–

–

Damn.

RIP Catherine O’Hara, only 71, a great Canadian actress who was also outspoken about women’s rights, and who said that the idea of Canada being the 51st state “makes my skin crawl.”

Another thought on watching protests from Minneapolis:

Apparently Donald Trump should have thought about picking a fight with good people who think minus 20 degree weather is just fine for being outdoors for hours to stand up for democracy

–

Fox News headline:

“Senate passes federal funding compromise as Democrats score victory in DHS revolt”

How long until Donald attacks Fox News.

–

Another Fox News headline: Lindsey Graham treatens shutdown deal over House-backed repeal, warns Johnson: ‘I won’t forget this’

Really? Graham forgot his words from 2016 “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it,”

—

Pam Bondi is now arresting journalists who were covering church protests, saying “You have a right to worship freely…”

At the same time ICE has regularly arrested people at church.

–

Dachau opened in March 1933. Contrary to what many think, first men arrested & sent there were not Jews but political dissidents including journalists..

One of the earliest arrested was Fritz Gerlich, a conservative Catholic German journalist and historian who opposed Hitler. He was executed at Dachau in 1934.
