So one-and-dones and NIL’s have done much to destroy college basketball..

But even if most fans can’t recognize players on “their” teams, will be nice to have “March Madness” refer to sports again…

–

Wonder why many if not most Fox News viewers still support Donald?

As at time of wriing 5-6 US military crew members are currently missing & feared dead after KC 135 refueling plane crashed in Iraq today, there is NOTHING on front page about it on Fox News website

They do find space for headline “Man, 25, bitten by rare reptile succumbs despite month-long hospital fight”

–

So Trump claims “We’ve won” the war in Iran

How long until he tries to tell us he WANTED to shut down the Strait of Hormuz?

How long until GOP leaders realize their naked Emperor has dementia?

–

Everyone in the world knows the US fired the Tomahawk missle that hit the school and killed Iranian schoolgirls.

Probably Trump knows too.

Publicly denying it, even if it was mistaken targeting, just makes the US look worse.

–

As GOP gets Another Muslim to trend your reminder, Trump just bombed Iran, without a credible or even consistent rationale and killed well over 1,000 civilians.

Almost enough to make you think part of the purpose of the war was to cause terrorist attacks in the United States.

(The Michigan synagogue attacker had lost family in air strike in Lebanon last weekend)

–

GOP Senator James Lankford, arguing for 2 week funding of DHS while “we sit down & talk to each other like adults.”

Does Lankford remember the MONTHS he & others spent on 2024 bipartisan immigration bill, only to have it torpedoed because Trump didn’t want Biden to have a “win?”

–

United Airlines just raised their fuel surcharge on business class tickets to Europe about $300 last weekend.

Today they raised it another $100.

Was about $2150 last week, now $2530.

What will it be tomorrow?

Are we great yet?United Airlines just raised their fuel surcharge on business class tickets to Europe about $300 last weekend.

–

And United Airlines just extended their change-refund waiver for Dubai and Tel Aviv until April 19.

So clearly THEY don’t think this “little excursion” or whatever Trump calls it is over.

–

Susan Collins talking today about a “good faith” offer from the White House on DHS funding.

Does Susan actually believe Trump would make a good faith offer on ANYTHING?

As we head towards “selection Sunday” for the NCAA tournament, especially for the men., have to wonder., with all the one and dones, how many fans are rooting for teams they can’t name a single player on?

Making choices like “cat brackets” seem even more appealing

–

Yes, it’s spring training

But how often do we see this?

(Cactus league standings)

SF Giants 15-3

LA Dodgers – 12-6

–

Can’t be the only one who thinks Trump WANTS a terrorist attack in California.

He hates the state and it would give him a chance to try to declare martial law.

Donald Trump just called Sherrod Brown a “terrible left lunatic.”

Sherrod Brown is one of the most decent people in politics. And one of the biggest champions of working men and women.

Ohio voters will fix their mistake and send him back to the Senate in 2026.

–

He has no plan.

Trump probably wants to attack Cuba or somewhere else next for a distraction.

PS Release the Epstein Files.

–

Almost as if Iran isn’t buying the “little excursion” story Donald is sellling”

“Oil price surges back to about $100 as explosions reported on two more foreign ships in Gulf”

–

Trump is now attacking Thomas Massie and claiming he got Rand Paul elected.

Agree with Massie on almost nothing, and generally can’t stand Rand Paul.

But give them both props. They have more cojones than most of the GOP.

–

John Cornyn, 74, has been a Senator since 2002. He’s generally been an old-school occasionally bipartisan conservative

Cornyn now says Senate should end the filibuster to pass the SAVE act.

“It profit not a man if he gain the whole world if he loses his soul.”

But for Trump?

–

Amy Klobuchar talking about Democrats’ bill to fund TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard.

“It’s not written in law that you can’t negotiate on part of an agency, while you are funding the rest of the agency.”

Senator Klobuchar is correct.

Why don’t Republicans want to protect Americans?

–

Reminder: Democrats have a bill to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard.

Only reason we have a partial shutdown is that GOP will not negotiate on accountability for ICE and Border Patrol.

(And ICE & CBP have money from the Big Ugly Bill)

Why doesn’t GOP want us to be safe?

Italy beat Team USA 8-6 in the WBC pool play Tuesday night,, one of the biggest upsets in the tournament’s 20-year history,

Many weird rules but it means team USA has a chance of being eliminated in the first round.

A journeyman pitcher, Michael Lorenzen pitched 4 1/3 shutout innings ..

One of the reasons baseball is the greatest game – all the money and loaded lineups in the world can’t overcome any pitcher who gets in a grove.

With 83 points tonight for the Miami Heat, Bam Adebayo passed Kobe Bryant for second-highest-scoring game in NBA history.

Can media stop asking how far Donald Trump would go to stop a free and fair election in 2026?

We already know how far he went on January 6 to overturn a free and fair election in 2020.

–

As the number of injured service men and women in Trump’s Iran war grows and still may be understated, anyone else remember this?

When in 2024 he described Traumatic brain injuries sustained by US Troops in Iraq during his first term as a “headache?”

–

–

So WTF do sports and trangender rights have to do with protections?

Rumors that Iran is activating “sleeper cells” around the world, putting Americans everywhere at first

And what is Kash Patel doing at the FBI to keep us safe?

He just subpoenaed records from the discredited “Cyber Ninjas” audit of Arizona’s 2020 election.

–

As GOP blames Democrats for airport lines, need to inform, or remind Americans..

Democrats HAVE a bill to fully fund TSA and FEMA.

GOP just insists they need to give money to DHS and ICE too…

This after more stories of Kristie Noem’s mismanagement of taxpayer dollars.

–

Apparently the “Trump Organization” is trying to trademark “America 250″‘ to brand their products.

And their point is?

The Trump name in the USA by July 4 is likely to be as popular as that of Benedict Arnold.

During her most recent appearance before Congress on the Epstein FIles, Pam Bondi loudly responded that the lack of indictments didn’t matter because “The DOW is over 50,000.”

Of course, if winning Spring Training mattered, the Los Angelss Dodgers would have figured out a way to buy that too.

In same view, this NBA headline question:

“Should San Antonio be the favorites to win the NBA title?

Amy Klobuchar has been saying this for months.

Chaos up, corruption up & costs up.

Now Trump’s insane ego driven war & higher oil prices will raise the costs of EVERYTHING up.

Even if you don’t travel or drive, food & consumer goods are shipped by truck or air. For starters.

–

Hoping anyone who reads this has seen the Fox News efforts to share a fake picture of Trump saluting at a Digniied Transfer from 2025 instead of the real one of him showing up in a baseball cap

But don’t forget:

Trump flew Air Force One Friday night to Mar-A-Lago

. THEN Air Force One Sat. am to Delaware for his brief baseball cap “DIgnified Transfer” photo op. Then Air Force One BACK to FL for him to golf Sunday And will fly back to DC Monday

Our tax millions of dollar at work.

For many of us this picture is iconic.

But for some of the younger generation, who only remember Reverend Jesse Jackson as an old man…

Yes, that was Jesse as a young man, standing next to MLK Jr. the day before Reverend King was assassinated.

April 3, 1968

–

–

And with a sports digression.


As great as this Spurs season is going, I can’t be the only one who wishes Gregg Popovich wasn’t being interviewed nightly on the sidelines. He would NOT be sticking to sports:

(Pop described King as the moral compass of the nation.)

But yeah ,if anyone didn’t already think this San Antonio Spurs team is special. 20 points down at the half, 25 down in the third quarter… Wemby on limited minutes And they beat the LA Clippers 116-112.

–

These days if a little child said our Orange Emperor wanna-be wasn’t wearing any clothes, Donald would probably have the child arrested and deported.

–

Hey Fox News.

You couldn’t find space on your front page to report this to MAGA readers. But it’s BBC headline. “US economy unexpectedly sheds 92,000 jobs in February Contraction came as a surprise with payrolls down in nearly every sector.” The rest of the world is noticing

–

Of course Fox News is not covering Jesse Jackson’s memorial.

They covered Charlie Kirk’s.

Just saying.

Met Jesse Jackson once in airport 30+ yrs ago, was carrying my toddler son. Jesse immediately smiled at my little blond boy & said “hello.” Remember saying, “Wanted him to meet you, even if he’s too young to vote for you.” Jackson “that’s okay, he’ll have time.” #RainbowCoalition

Looking for a reason in the SF Bay Area to jump on the San Antonio Spurs bandwagon?

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson was a college point guard from 2005-2009.

At Stanford.

#GoCardinal

–

Kristi Noem now says she “looks forward to working with senior administration officials to dismantle transnational criminal networks.

Can she start by dismantling the transnational criminal network in the White House?

–

Markwayne Mullen has been nominated for DHS Secretary and Tommy Tuberville is running for Governor of Alabama.

Which will create an opening!

Who will take the title of dumbest US Senator?

–

Wow. Trump actually fired Kristi Noem.

We joke sometimes about going home and kicking dogs.

Seriously hope all dogs anywhere near Kristi have good security.

—

So let me get this straight.

One of many excuses for bombing Iran is Donald’s claim that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump.”

And now Trump is saying HE must interfere & be involved in picking the new Iranian leader?!!!

–

Texas GOP rep Tony Gonzales now admits to having affair, calls it a ‘mistake’ & ‘lapse of judgment’

Does ANYONE, espec. based on tone of his texts, think Regina was his 1st affair?

She was former staffer so an ethics violation.

She died after setting herself on fire.

(And now he dropped out of his re-election bid..)

–

Amy Klobuchar tonight on Senate hearing that may have been last straw for Kristi Noem’s tenure at DHS.

“When people ask, why do those hearings matter?”
They do. “

Especially when Senators’ question & Noem’s answers get coverage like this one did.

Democracy dies in darkness.

–

52 Senators voted to let Trump take their power to declare war yesterday

Remember this when more Americans start coming home in body bags.

–

Senator Patty Murray on Presidential Priorities::
“Trump has clearly put more thought and caring and planning into this White House ballroom than he has into the war with Iran.”

–

Increasingly feels like Donald Trump does not want the United States of America to outlive him.

–

Wonder what would happen if the Nobel committee offered to give Trump the Peace Prize if he resigns the Presidency.

–

Hey Americans who voted for Trump because of inflation & his promises of lower prices.

Asked about rapidly spiking gas prices.
“They’ll drop very rapidly when this is over & if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit.”

–

One thing that Trump may regret:
With all these stranded Americans, tourists & business travelers, along with tourists & others who have had to cancel future trips, including safaris, honeymoons, vacations… this time Donald has harmed & upset some relatively wealthy people.

PERFECT 11-0 February for the San Antonio Spurs. As much as I can appreciate bipartisan joy this team is bringing fans, must confess really miss Gregg Popovich giving his pre-post game opinions on the State of the Union. And oh would he have options. Thinking of you Pop #Porvida

–

To all the MAGA folks who claimed they voted for Donald Trump because he would “protect women’s sports,” I’ve missed your outrage about his comments and lack of appreciate for the USA women’s hockey team.
Or his not even acknowledging Gold Medalist Alysa Liu.

While many Americans can’t afford an emergency of a few hundred dollars, Dr. Oz’s new proposal for Trumpcare would allow one kind of health plan to raise the annual deductible to more than $15,000 for an individual and $31,000 for a family; Not just that those are much higher than current Obamacare plans,

But $31,000 won’t even cover the cost of a broken arm, or delivering a baby. these days.

Again, Hillary Clinton is right.


“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.”

–

This isn’t complicated: If GOP really believed Bill Clinton was guilty, they’d depose him in public.

Is it just possible Trump delivered the longest SOTU speech ever because he’s worried about making it to the next one?

Lawrence O’Donnell “The biggest applause tonight was for a goalie. Not the President.”

We should not share this. It will really incense Donald Trump.

Oops.

–

Trump did give Team USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

–

Besides dissing the women’s Gold Medal winning team, he hasn’t even mentioned Gold Medal figure skater Alysa Liu

–

Bill Clinton was a great speaker back in the day, though he needed an editor.

Fox News tonight “record-breaking speech” &
“Trump shatters Clinton’s 26-year-old record.”

So they’re BRAGGING?

Donald almost 2 hr speech broke Clinton’s too-long 2000 speech by 20 minutes…

–

How quickly did members of Congress rush out after that SOTUS ended?

Most of us only move that fast when the dentist says ‘you’re done now.”

–

Trump “We will insure that members of Congress cannot profit from insider trading information.”

Members of my cabinet, however, and my family, who are already rich, will continue to get much richer.

–

Anyone else notice how almost gleeful Donald Trump sounds during SOTU when graphically describing wounds suffered by soldiers or victims?

Rachel Maddow called it “violently pornographic riffing?

Whistleblower now saying after Brown University mass shooting FBI Director Patel was in Florida using FBI plane to visit parents.

And MIT professor was shot 2 days later.

–

Meanwhile, the US Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, has managed to seriously offend the French with both provocative comments AND not showing up to summonses to explain those comments. So he’s been banned temporarily at least from speaking to French officials.

Kushner isn’t just father of Ivanka’s husband.
He’s convicted felon who was angry at his sister for testifying against him…so he hired prostitute to seduce her husband & record it on video.
Then he sent video to his sister.

Announcers talking about how Spurs play in unison, that as good as Wemby is, often there’s different star/top scorer every night. They’re right. Makes San Antonio fun, unless you’re playing them. Miss seeing Coach Pop on sidelines but know he’s proud of this team.

–

USA Women’s Gold Medal Hockey team declined an invitation to the Trump’s State of the Union Tuesday due to “scheduling conflicts.”

So are they doing their nails or washing their hair?

–

Meanwhile, had it not been for Canadian player Nathan’ MacKinnon’s missing a wide open net in the third period, the Canadians probably would have won the Gold Medal in regulation.

Now Trump still might not have called the US Women’s team.

But wonder what insults he’d have called the men’s team had they ended up with silver, Other than his favorite “suckers and losers?”

–

Have said this before, but my mom had dementia in her 70s.

She started out sounding reasonable but what she said was increasingly fantasies. Lots of paranoia – “the staff is eating my candy” (she was eating her denture tablets so they took them away.)

Orlando Sentinel with the wrong headline on upcoming State of the Union”

“Trump’s big speech will be delivered to a changed nation and a Congress he has sidelined.

What they don’t say, Congress hasn’t just BEEN sidelined. They have sidelined themselves.

And reminder, every one of these horrible Cabinet members were confirmed by GOP-led Senate.

Another issue w/ SAVE act.

What happens if you need passport to be renewed & it’s delayed around Election Day.

Frequent intl travelers can have narrow window to renew passport between trips. sometimes it takes longer than others.

Wouldn’t shock me if Trump slowed things down.

So with Trump promising/threatening long State of the Union tomorrow – and he rambled for 1 hour and 40 minutes last year- will Donald have the doors locked to prevent attendees leaving?

4 for mixed teams (like Korey and Cory for curling)

Just saying

–

MAGA loves that Trump called the men’s hockey team.

Did he call the gold medal WOMEN’s team?

–

And the women athletes in Milan/Cortina won 17 medals to the mens’ 12. On gold, women had 6, men had 4

–

So a lot of viral photos of FBI director Kash Patel partying like a frat boy with the US men’s hockey team after their gold medal win.

Supposedly there for business reasons.

But seriously how did Patel get last minute hotel rooms in Milan? They’ve been crazy expensive, nonrefundable, & sold out for a long time. And he has big security entourage. So, how far in advance was this planned? On taxpayers’ dime?

–

–

Is it possible Trump canceled his trip to the Olympics because they wouldn’t give him a medal?

–

So a young WHITE gunman shot dead at Mar-a-Lago, (though Donald was in DC) was per the conservatve Daily Mail was ‘obsessed with Epstein cover up,’ and came from family of ‘avid Trump supporters’

–

“Siri, tell me today’s story that does not appear on Fox News.”

=

Just gets weirder.
Today’s fundraising email 543p ET
“I was thousands of miles in the air. Drinking a Trump diet soda. And all I could think about was… YOU!
It’s Trump here. And YOU haven’t renewed your annual membership & it’s now February.”

He’s was in DC, not flying today.

–

Media-obsessed President Trump, who never misses the smallest slight from any outlet, just said he has not heard about allegations of an extramarital affair involving Secretary Kristi Noem.

So once again the question, is he lying or is it dementia?

Apparently Trump had planned, then canceled a trip to the Olympics for the gold medal hockey

The coward didn’t want to be booed.

Great news for the Olympics. It would have caused security nightmares and no one wants to see him.

(Or it it possible he wouldn’t go because they wouldn’t give him a medal?

–

He still haan’t made any statements of congratulations. Only attacks on athletes he thinks weren’t respectful to hi.

–

–

I do hope Governors honor our athletes, even if Americans’ mad king won.td

–

Look, I get it, opposing Trump & his policies can be scary

But Donald is NOT popular with most of US now, and GOP Senators have the option of taxpayer funded security.

You’d think some of them would have as much courage as a Minneapolis woman in a bathrobe.

–

Amy Klobuchar on MSN on SCOTUS tariff decision. “Public is so mad at Trump right now, with cost, chaos, and corruption up. Maybe he needs to rethink what he’s doing. The Supreme Court has given him a gift.”

Amy’s right, but that would require Donald admitting he made a mistake.

Trump is demanding Netflix fire Susan Rice as a board member

If they cave to Donald’s demonic demands he’ll just ask for more.

And Donald will still favor Paramount as they try to upset Netlix’s deal to take over Warner Brothers / Discovery

What did she say? that corporations, media companies, law firms and universities that “take a knee” to Trump should not expect Democrats to “forgive and forget.”

“It’s not going to end well for them,…hey’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,

Accountability is not in Trump’s vocabulary.

WTAF?
Rep. Lauren Boebert criticized CO sex education programs for teaching young children about gender identity & self-pleasure. She advocated for 10 Commandments in schools.
Boebert had son at 18, he had son at 18. (And Tyler has been arrested for child endangerment. Twice.)

-|

Meanwhile in Texas, Rep Tony Gonzales is under investigation for an alleged affair

He’s married father of 6, running for re-election. And Texas GOP is fine with it.

The woman staffer in question told people about it, and died by suicide – setting herself on fire last September

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.

Rumors and rumours…

Despite Twitter rumors, the Seattle Seahawks have NOT issued a public statement on if they are or not not going to the White House.

Meanwhile, in 257 days, we have midterms. We can make the occupant of the White House less important.

–

CNN tightening rules on staff promoting their own books on air after Jake Tapper’s “Original Sin.”

Nice job of closing barn door behind the horse.

But wonder, with CNN now currying favor with White House, does one of their staff have a blistering book coming out on Trump?

–

Trump on Herschel Walker today

“Now he’s ambassador to the Bahamas. I don’t know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It’s a nice place.”

So Donald is saying not only is he not capable of running the country, he’s not even capable of being a decent travel agent.

So would either Senator Majority Leader John Thune or House Speaker Mike Johnson like to remind Americans of when Congress voted to authorize war with Iran?

I’ll wait.

–

So if Trump decides NOT to go to war with Iran will he declare again that he should have the Nobel Peace Prize?

–


US EPA plans to loosen mercury rules for coal plants this week

What’s next? MAGA – Make Asbetos Great Again

As DHS plans to go after naturalized citizens who registered to vote before they were actually able to vote…

Anyone who’s ever done voter registration with teenager knows- you are allowed to register early at 17. It’s not a crime. As long as you are eligible on election day.

Trump on Herschel Walker today

“Now he’s ambassador to the Bahamas. I don’t know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It’s a nice place.”

So Donald is saying not only is he not capable of running the country, he’s not even capable of being a decent travel agent.

–


What’s particularly funny, neither the Bahamas nor Bermuda are in the Caribbean Sea… And they are about as different as island destinations near the US can be…

If there’s GOP member of Congress or Trump’s administration who feels slighted by Stephen Colbert perhaps he/she should reach out for an interview.

Pretty sure Colbert will find room for them. (Most are cowering from their own constituents and/or non-right wing outlets.)

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.”

The real MVP of today’s NBA All-Star game(s) Sunday – Victor Wembanyama. Because Wemby decided to show up and play hard, everyone played hard.

–

Also at the NBA All-Star Game, Barack Obama, sitting courtside, not in a suite, caught a ball that flew out of bounds and was heading towards Michelle.

How cool is this?

Can anyone imagine the current inhabitant of the White House:

  1. – catching the ball? 2. Trying to protect his wife?

I miss President Obama.

–

And the current inhabitant of the White House, while he’s attacked those he perceives as having criticized HIM, hasn’t yet congratulated a single USA Olympic medalist.

–

Although on a nonpolitical Olympics thought, my friend Marc Ragovin – A Norwegian biathlete who won a bronze medal admitted to cheating on his girlfriend in a post-event interview.  

Making him the first biathlete to shoot himself in the foot.  

–

Trump pardoned five former NFL players for crimes including drug trafficking.


Meanwhile another U.S. military strike blew up a boat and killed three people allegedly for drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea on Friday. When you’re an NFL star (or a big donor) they let you do it?

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sums up Trump’s petty behavior on the Governor’s dinner perfectly.


“He has taken annual bipartisan tradition & he’s turned it into his own 12-year-old birthday party, where he’s going to invite some people & not invite others. “Everybody but Billy is invited”

–

So many guesses as to why Trump prioritized terrorizing Minneapolis.

It could be as simple as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz calling Donald “Weird.”

Minnesota Star Tribune reports -At least 5 Minnesota shootings in which initial descriptions by ICE were later contradicted by video evidence…

How many shootings & injuries happened without video evidence?
