Golden State coach Natalie Nakase’s dropping f-bombs in the on air post WNBA championship celebration for the Valkyries might have been the best moment of the finals..

–

Meanwhile – after this impressive pregame performance, Wemby went out and scored 43 points

Jeanie Buss, who has been the Los Angeles Lakers governor is now accusing her siblings of being jealouse of their dad picking her to run the Lakers and asked a judge to block the sale of the team, saying they are using ‘cloak and dagger’ tacties

So when is the mini-series coming out?

So if GOP wants to overturn an election based on voters possibly being confused by a ballot maybe the fair thing would be to allow the last two years of Trump’s term to be filled by Al Gore. #butterflyballot

–

USC upset Ohio State.

A reminder for most sports fans, there is a hierarchy of hate.

And so yeah, in this case, “Fight on!”

–

Hey NY Times.

I don’t really care about sore losers in primaries.

Or Ilhan Omar’s decades old immigration issues.

Or that you don’t think Alaska voters are smart.

Nor about whatever Donald’s latest distraction and whine is.

It’s the economy stupid.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

As Trump prepares to deport Afghan immigrants to certain death back in Afghanistan,

There was a BIPARTISAN bill in the Senate. Led by Amy Klobuchar and Lindsey Graham, to give these VETTED people who help US military in Afghanistan during the war permanent asylum here.

Where is Darline on this?

And where are Roger Wicker, Jerry Moran and Lisa Murkowski?

They risked their lives for Americans and we made them a promise.

But you know the salary cap issue is a problem for MLB when some think the Dodgers tanked to the Brewers so that they would lose just one year… and then continue on their merry ways.

And buy most of the Rays/Brewers players.

–

But the probable lockout takes away one of the best comforting countdownss after the World Series ends..

Days until pitchers and catchers report.

102 if no lockout…

–

Btw, yes, money doesn’t always buy winning- see NY Mets, and in some ways, NY Yankees.

But it gives you a bettet chance.

Oddly enough, Tarik Skubal was a rumored “break the bank” Brewers trade deadline target… But apparently they were outbid

He was so gleeful about joining the Dodgers…

–

Michele Tafoya has pretended lately to be pro-choice.

She’s been endorsed by Tony Dungy, one of the most outspoken anti-abortion men ever part of the NFL.

Why should anyone believe anything Michele says?

–

If you’re bragging about passing multiple cognitive tests you’ve failed the cognitive test.

–

At this point would it be surprising if since the Pope requested an absentee ballot from Illinois that Trump demands Illinois elections don’t count?

–

Joe Biden had bad debate that called his mental acuity into question. Less than month later, media & some Dems forced him into not running for re-election.

Donald Trump is bragging about identifying giraffes, praising high gas prices & admiring men’s asses. Media & GOP shrug.

–

Fox News headline “Trump supporters fight back tears over Senate race that could flip state’s GOP seat.”

They’re talking about Texas. And being worried the state will no longer have two Republican Senators.

They should be in tears over Trump endorsing Paxton over Cornyn.

–

Trump loves to lie about schools transitioning boys to girls.

But when asked about firing of Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia by reporter who just said “Lt. Gen. Sylvia.”

“She’s got problems. She’s gonna have big problems.”

So Trump just tried to “transition” a 4-star general?

–

Why isn’t it a bigger story that when Lisa Murkowski lost the GOP primary in 2010, she ran as a WRITE-IN for US Senate?

And won!

Alaska voters are smart.

Okay who outside Minnesota had the Vikings as the last undefeated team in the NFL in 2026?

Okay, who INSIDE Minnesota had the Vikings as the last undefeated team in the NFL in 2026?

–

Meanwhile as the undefeated teams in the NCAA has fallen fast, USC, the school whose decision to depart for the Big 10 basically broke up the Pac 12, is not even ranked. No punchline, I just like writing that.

–

Former ESPN sideline report and GOP candidate for Senate in Minnesota, Michelle Tafoya, says “teaching skin colour matters” “breaks her heart” She doesn’t believe racism exists. And quit sports reporting to fight critical race theory.

NFL is 70% black. Wonder what all the black owners & managers think

–


And a friend makes a very good point. Michelle was a sports reporter for a long time. Wonder why none of her colleagues have come forward to endorse/support her?

–

His mind is in a time warp. Now Donald is referening to sh*t house countries..

He’s conflating “sh*t hole” to “sh*t house” because he remembers “brick house?

Pretty darn sure Lionel Richie isn’t voting for him though

–

Whatever lies Todd Blanche tells now about Alaska and DOJ pre-emptive lawsuit to block certification of Alaska’s US Senate results if GOP Senator Dan Sullivan loses….

“I’m the one who said do it,” Donald J. Trump

So why is it okay that Trump attacks Abdul El-Sayed for being Muslum?

But he brings this guy to the Oval Office?

And accepts a plane from Qatar?

–

Donald’s fundraising email this morning.

“It’s Trump, messaging you for possibly the final time as your President.”

Does he know something we don’t?

(although who is he kidding?. He’ll send another half dozen requests by dinner time.)

–

Elon Musk is spending about $500,000,000 for the midterms to elect Republicans. Imagine if he’d had only spent that half billion, instead of to elect losers like Paxton, on things like healthcare or education or food for poor Americans. Or in underdeveloped countries.

He’d be a hero instead of one of the most hated men in the world.

Meanwhile, down in Brazil, President Lula, a Trump critic won re-election, while Trump favorite Bolsonaro, son of the convicted & imprisoned former leader, refused to concede defeat.

Barry Zito vs Justin Verlander

And the game was a blowout…
just like we all expected

(Ok I was there. I admit I thought in advance Giants would lose too.

SF Giants fans remember a time that the team NEVER felt out of it.

2012 Especially, Down 2-0 to Cincinnati Reds in NLDS

And down 3-1 to the St Louis Cardinals in NLCS

We expected the same with the World Series and Tigers…

In any case, the 2026 Brewers have that feeling.

–

And I do like the Brewers… But IMHO whether or not Yandy Diaz went, checked swings should be reviewable. (Wilmer Flores in 2021 didn’t swing… yes, I’m still bitter.)

–

–

Wow, Minnesota Gophers just upset #15 Hawkeyes -13 to 10 on a 44 yard field goal as time expired.

Note to Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt – that’s the Hawkeyes of IOWA.

Minnesota wasn’t playing a team from Georgia.

–

Why isn’t media saying this?

Of COURSE Mike Johnson says he thinks Republicans will keep the House. He knows GOP will loss but..

Trump is pretending Democrats only win when they cheat.

So Johnson has to repeat the boss’s line in advance of Donald saying elections were rigged.

–

Trump today “The poverty rate has just reached its best level, most successful level in American history, poverty. Poverty is in great shape.”

Did not have Donald praising poverty on my bingo card…

Really NY Times?

This headline “How the Most Ruthless Ad of the Midterms Divided Republicans.”

Uh, ruthless is not the word for Vivek’s ad against Amy Acton. The word is “despicable.” Or “disgusting.”

–

A reminder. Not only did Amy Acton testify against her stepfather, this was not just a he said she said situation. He was indicted by a grand jury for raping her

And her mom fled with him rather than face trial.

Meanwhile, as the WNBA finals continue, and the league has had a record breaking year.

This is Fox News headline “NBA legend says what WNBA’s commissioner must prioritize after controversial season.”

No coverage of the actual games. And the NBA “legend” is Carmelo Anthony.

–

And also on Fox News front page, no real coverage of the NBA season, nor the WNBA finals…as in actual story lines or scores. But they find room to discuss how the bothWNBA and Lebron James behave during the National Anthem

–

The World Series starts tomorrow… and it will have been eight days since the Milwaukee Brewers played professional baseball.

Rested yes, but anyone else remember 2012. Tigers had over a week off while the Giants, down 3-1 to the Cardinals, finally won game 7 9-0 in a game that should have been stopped in the rain.

And SF swept rusty Detroit.

Hoping for a more interesting series.

–

Didn’t get much attention, but when JD Vance showed up in Ohio and defended Vivek’s despicable attack ad, the Cincinnati Bengals basically blew him off when he tried to visit their locker room (only the coach and one player shook his hand.)

–

JD Vance on Vivek’s Amy Acton ad “Whether it was appropriate is not really my concern. But “I’m disgusted when I see Republicans whining about that ad.”

So man who lied about immigrants eating pets is disgusted not by ad using mom of girl raped by her stepfather, but about GOP scruples.

–

JD Vance has a young daughter, along with 3 sons.

If he and Usha ever divorced and she remarried is he saying that anything her future husband did would be okay with him? Or at least unimportant compared to politics?

Whatever Thom Tillis says on his “regrets” book tour, your reminder, he just voted to confirm Todd Blanche.

–

Ohio Governor. Mike DeWine denounces fellow Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ad featuring the estranged mother of Amy Acton.

Would be better if he said, anyone who thinks this ad is unfit to be Governor. But current Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is what seems to be a dying breed… an semi honorable Republican.

(You do wonder though, what would it take for DeWine to pull his endorsement? Murder?)

–

How long after the midterms does Trump pardon Ghislaine Maxwell?



Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has supported Gov. Tim Walz, but says if she were in charge, there are some things she would have done differently.

Same right-wing trolls who condemn Amy for that attacked Kamala Harris for not saying she would have done anything differently from Biden. #CantWin



Todd Blanche today

–

Jmmy Fallon with a great point about Katie Zacharia…

“It’s not great when the edible arrangement you get on your first day, is still edible on your last day.”

=

Fox News had chance to distance themselves from Vivek Ramaswamy’s despicable ad w/ Amy Acton’s estranged mother, who stayed married to stepfather who sexually abused Amy at 12.

Instead, Fox posts this headline.

“Dem candidate’s mother urges voters to reject her: ‘Don’t let her become your governor”

–

Just made a small donation to Amy Acton.

No child should suffer abuse by a step-parent and betrayal by her mother.

And no candidate should suffer an despicable ad like Vivek started running today

“Thank you for your one-time contribution to Amy Acton!

Together we’re changing our country.”

–

But WTF NY Times? 

WTF NY Times?

Headline “Attack Ad Featuring Candidate’s Mother Turns Ohio Governor’s Race Even Uglier Republican ad features Amy Acton’s estranged mother calling her daughter a liar. The two have not spoken since Dr. Acton’s mother backed her husband after his arrest on rape charges.”

What NY Times doesn’t say, he was arrested and charged with raping Amy Acton herself. When she was a 9-12 year old child and his stepdaughter.

John Sununu, running for Senate in New Hampshire, is declaring his independence, and says “he’s never even met Trump”

NFC South is not great, and was expected to be the worst division in the NFL

But the four teams in NFC East haven’t won a single game in two weeks, yes including last week when the Commanders and Giants tied each other.

As Trump seems to be hellbent on destroying East Potomac Park, the current municipal golf course, picnic areas, and the hiking/cycling trails, including cherry blossoms, while ignoring a judge’s orders, what if the judge just orders workers on the project to be arrested?

It’s the guns, stupid.

Darline Graham Nordone dropped her name to take over Lindsey’s seat & to “carry on his legacy.”

But she dropped his defense of the filibuster, immigration reform & now in not protesting Trump’s EO against Russia sanctions bill, Darline dropped whatever principles she had left.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to visit Donald Trump in the White House on July 23, their record was 65–38 (the best in baseball – 63 percent

After their visit, the Dodgers record was 35-24 -59 percent. And it would have been worse if LA hadn’t finished with 6 of their last 9 games against the SF Giants, who due to injuries and trades and NONE of their original starters left and were basically playing a Triple A lineup.

Milwaukee Brewers CF Garrett Mitchell, who just hit the go-ahead home run against the Dodgers, after hitting a home run in game 3, has Type 1 diabetes. Same as James Talarico. Just for all those trolls who think diabetes somehow keeps you from doing a tough stressful job…

–

He didn’t get series MVP but who had left-handed “Swiss Army Knife” Milwaukee reliever Aaron Ashby pitching more innings than ANY Brewers pitcher? Yes, including starters.

(6.2 scoreless innings over 3 games.)


Reuters: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter.-

Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave.

At some point, all the braces and personal assistants in the world won’t keep Trump from falling on camera.

Instead of talking about President Trump, maybe what the media should do is just show some of his current rallies unedited.

Just need to remind voters across the US

Tyler Glasnow.

Tarik Skubal

Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Blake Snell.

All making over $27 million a year. Snell and Skubal over $30 million.

In a single game, would you bet against any of them

Oddly enough, if the Brewers make it to the World Series, with their 19th in MLB $150 million or so payroll, they would be the big money team against either the Guardians or Rays.

Monday night Brewers’ first baseman Jake Bauers spent seven minutes, 15 seconds in the batter’s box against Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It was a 12 pitch AB that resulted in a walk.

Though Brandon Belt’s longest at-bat lasted 12 minutes & 45 seconds. 21 pitches. (Although to be fair Belt finally lined out.)

These are the 10. Which are worth the long read.

Maybe some seem reasonable.

But “government failures” could be interpreted as ALL air traffic delays.

And baggage delays? Assume airlines will always blame the airport

And the big one “Unscheduled, non-deferrable maintenance (that must be addressed pre-flight)”

Isn’t almost ALL maintenance that delays flights unscheduled?

Passenger death (requiring aircraft cleaning)
Aircraft damage (such as from extreme weather debris or sabotage)
Baggage or cargo delays (caused by an outage of a non-carrier-controlled baggage system)
Cybersecurity attacks
Government system shutdowns or failures (affecting flight safety or operations)
Overheated brakes (requiring emergency safety procedures)
Unscheduled, non-deferrable maintenance (that must be addressed pre-flight)
Medical emergencies (not caused by the carrier)
Unruly passengers (requiring removal or security intervention)
Airport closures (due to events like volcanic ash, high winds, or wind shear)

A potential game tying home run was overturned at Yankee Stadium because of fan interfence- by a Yankees fan… and turned into a one run double instead of a two run home run…

And the Tampa Bay Rays won the game by 4-3 and swept the series

Well, at least maybe that Yankees fan will be welcome if he retires to Florida.

Remaining teams now in MLB playoffs. LA, Tampa Bay, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Chicago White Sox.

All four teams except the Dodgers put together have payrolls that about equal that of the Dodgers.

–

f you only follow Fox News is missing some good WNBA semi-finals games with great players, Angel Reese, Gabby Williams, A’Ja Wilson…

Alas, Fox’s darling is a mediocre player on a team that wasn’t good enough to make the semi finals.

–

Americans must live with Susan Collins’ decision to vote for Brett Kavanaugh for as long as Kavanaugh lives or decides to stay on SCOTUS.

Now Alito says he’s retiring. Why isn’t it more discussed that a Maine Senator might be the deciding vote for his potential replacement?

–

If Susan Collins loses will she write a book and emulate Thom Tillis’s “regrets” tour?

Asking for a really tired country

–

So when someone else gets the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, who is Donald going to drop bombs on?

–

Trump now says that Secret Service and the Military asked him to convert his West Palm Beach golf course into a new version of Camp David.

Of all the things that didn’t happen today, this didn’t happen the most.

Just saying, President Joe Biden didn’t need an expensive helipad to get to Marine One. He could walk on grass.

–

Not that Gavin Newsom is close to my top choice for President in 2028.

But if Republicans were going to try to use Gavin’s past (confessed) adultery against him, thinking that argument just took a major hit since his wife at the time was Kimberly Guilfoyle.

–

Fox News headline

“Putin offers to help end Iran war as Trump touts ‘productive discussions’ with Tehran.”

Well, I guess it makes sense. When your employee screws up big time isn’t it ultimately your job as their boss to come in and fix it?

–

Donald tells reporters in the Oval Office when asked about Russia Wednesday “today is Vladimir Putin’s birthday.”

Bet he doesn’t know his own children’s birthdays.

–

As Hegseth vows to make the firing squad execution of U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan public, can someone ask why Trump didn’t make the attempted execution of Christa Pike public?

–

Let’s be honest here:

As disgusting as the idea of a public execution is, at this point the main reasons Hegseth is suggesting it is are to distract from how badly Trump’s war with Iran is going, and how badly the US economy is working for average Americans.

=

Even most banana republics allow international election monitors.

–

All countries except Russia, Belarus, and now the United States.

How far and how fast democracy in the US has fallen.

If you needed another reason to crawl over broken glass to vote this November…

Heck of a game between the San Diego Padres and the Milwaukee Brewers.

But it finished after midnight in Milwaukee, after 1a the East Coast, on a school night…

And MLB wonders why kids these days aren’t that into baseball

–

Prefer the Brewers to beat the Padres, though like both teams better than the Dodgers.

But in retrospect, glad the Padres won. Since San Diego Padress closer ended up on the paternity list tonight for the birth of his first child. And these days, haters, trolls and bettors would have made his life miserable for a long time had Milwaukee come back and won in the ninth

Mother Nature doesn’t have a vote in this year’s midterms. But maybe she has an opinion?

“Hurricane Isaias threatens Georgia vs. Alabama SEC showdown as Trump plans Tuscaloosa visit”

Wow.

Third email from Trump with this message this week.

“I’ve never asked for sympathy.

I’ve never asked this country to feel sorry for me.

I’ve never asked for anything.”

What a pathetic whiny old man he has become.

–

But Trump says he has a call scheduled “very soon” with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding reports about a Russian lab leak..

Thinking Donald used to talk to Vlad every night until he found Natalie

Jean Valjean stole bread to feed his family.

Many of these parasites who surround Trump have more money than they can ever spend, and they still seem focused on stealing as much as they can from the United States and American taxpayers.

–

A reminder as inflation and high gas prices make life incredibly difficult for millions of Americans….

Whatever he says, Donald started this war to distract from the Epstein Files.

Fox News website headline:

“TRADE ROUTE FEAR
Ship sunk w/ crew missing after brazen strike inside NATO member’s waters”

Must click into story to see attack was from Russia.

To MAGA trolls saying USA should not support Ukraine-

This is PRECISELY why we should support Ukraine.

The Rays and White Sox, with the 25th and 26th payrolls out of 30 MLB teams, are both 2-0 in their ALDS series.

Of course, the Guardians are also a well-managed low payroll team.

And the Yankees, without Aaron Judge, are so far doing their best imitation of the Mets.

–

But for any Dodger fans, or readers with friends who are Dodgers fans..

Rays or White Sox could face LA in the World Series.

If it happens, both teams, while they have starts, don’t have a stable of three $30 million a year pitchers, and several $20 million a year pitchers to appear any time in a game…. Not to mention All-Stars who may not even start.

–

New Orleans Saints commemorated the 20th anniversary of their rebirth game Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Saints might have looked better if the old-timers from that game had played… #Whodat

–

Angela Paxton, who divorced her ex on “biblical grounds” has ad saying GOP needs “not to hand the future of Texas to the other team.”

Other team? So we’re doing football analogies? Just how bad would QB have to be to make that not true?


Felon, murderer, rapist, pedophile? Guess we know answer to that.

Karoline Leavitt is joining Fox News Media as a contributor.

Wasn’t Karoline as Trump’s Press Secretary effectively already a Fox News contributor?

–

Trump today “If Democrats win the midterms, everything we’ve accomplished, we’ll never be able to do it again”

If you STILL needed a reason to vote..

–

Tonight Donald adds lawnmowers to the things he can’t figure out… Computers, showers, etc.. Does Natalie on top of everything else have to help him use his cellphone?

=

For some reason Fox News isn’t reporting on Donald Trump’s rally crowd sizes.

Or lack thereof.

Coincidence?

–

Have been on three flights within US over 5 hours in last month.

Only on Delta Airlines did the Wifi work, American it worked for 2 of 5 1/2 hours. United (supposedly Starlink) not at all.

And tech bros want to convince us the world will be better off with them in charge?

–

So national Fox News won’t cover it, but anyone seen reaction to Trump’s saying “let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego” from KTTV Los Angeles and KSWB-TV San Diego? (Fox affliates in those cities.)

What’s in a (cat) name?

As many on the internet have noticed, this is the first time in NFL history that all four feline teams are playing each others.

Jaguars-Bengals / Lions-Panthers.

Hey GOP Senators, a cheat sheet for you.

Bengals are not same as Tigers Lots of college Tigers..

The Panthers are Carolina, not the Pitt Panthers,

Only Southern University in Baton Rouge is the Jaguars, so you’re probably safe there.

Lions are Detroit, not Columbia or the Penn State Nittany Lions…

–

Even though I live in California, am a Saints fan, not a 49ers fan.

But NFL suspended SF CEO six games for being arrested in a prostitution sting?!

They never suspended Robert Kraft, who apparently was paying regularly for sex.

(Different rules for Brady AND Patriots owner?)

–

–

So as Jon Gruden made an appearance tonight to support Trump, a reminder for sports fans.

In 2021 Las Vegas owner of two pro teams Mark Davis made two coaching decisions.

  1. He fired Gruden as the head coach of the Raiders.
  2. He hired Becky Hammon to coach the Aces.

Both very smart moves.

–

As Trump endorses Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio, deportations of Asian immigrants, particularly Indian nationals, even some with green cards, have risen sharply. And who knows how many Indian-American citizens have been detained.
Can someone ask Donald or Vivek about that?

–

As bad as the September jobs report is, remember, this is Trump’s Labor department doing the numbers…

Samuel Alito actually said that “very harsh” criticism of SCOTUS by political leaders can be “quite damaging” to the Supreme Court

Not a fraction as damaging as very political behavior can be to the Supreme Court.

–

Thinking at this point even Richard Nixon doesn’t want his legacy to be linked with Donald Trump’s..

Coming up Aces

Watching Aces play basketball & reminded of years Becky Hammon was Spurs assistant w/ Gregg Popovich.
Becky said when she was hired she talked to A’ja Wilson about treating her like Pop coached Tim Duncan.
“You’re the star. If I coach you hard & you accept it, the team will accept it.”

–

At least Mike Yastrzemski is still playing in the MLB postseason

GOP stopped subsides for Americans to afford Obamacare. Now Trump’s sending out a million $500 check. Top states for refunds are Texas, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina & Michigan.

This isn’t Donald caring about Americans, this is him sending bribes in states with close elections.

–

Grampa’s latest crazy rant about James Talarico… “He’s a vaygan, and you know what a vaygan is? You know what he does after he eats? He throws up. He gets rid of the meat.”

Donald’s not talking about being vegan, he’s talking about bulimia. Just what IS he learning from Natalie?

–

So do we think that Natalie was the one who first told Donald that dumb has a “b” in it?

–

Reminder, since no one know what events and crises will happen in the future, a necessary quality for any Governor is the ability to think and react in real time.

And Amy Klobuchar just proved, to Eric Schmitt along with everyone watching, that she has that ability.
