There’s a Magic.

February 21, 2017

Lakers President #JeannieBuss fired her brother today. Well, at least they have 9 months to get over it before Thanksgiving.

–

Magic Johnson has now been promoted to president of basketball operations for the Lakers. Of course what the team really needs is a vintage Magic PLAYING for the Lakers.

–

Don’t get me wrong, I love Magic Johnson.  But how about all those those NBA titles Michael Jordan won as an owner?

–

MLB may change the intentional walk rule for 2017 to allow for a dugout signal instead of four actual pitches out of the strike zone So if a manager changes pitchers, then a pinch-hitter results in the decision for an IBB a relief pitcher could lose the game without throwing the ball once.

–

Sammy Sosa, who still denies taking PEDs, told a Cubs employee in an interview ““It’s like Jesus Christ when he came to Jerusalem. Everybody thought Jesus Christ was a witch, and he was our savior. So if they talk s–t about Jesus Christ, what about me? Are you kidding me?”
Uh, if Sosa’s mentioning Jesus shouldn’t it be less a comparison and more like “Jesus wept?”

 

A-Rod says there is a “zero percent” chance he will play major league baseball again. “So you are saying there’s a chance?”

–

A hearing underway to determine if a then 71-year old man can use the “Stand Your Ground” defense for fatally shooting a 43-year old man 3 years ago in a movie theater. Apparently the shooter, a retired cop, had told the younger man to stop texting, and during the argument the victim threw popcorn at him.
Yeah, did you have to ask? Florida.

–

My friend Pat found this quote during a Parliamentary debate on whether or not to allow Trump a State visit to England, Paul Flynn of the Labour Party said ” the President’s intelligence level is protozoan”.
Only problem, Trump probably thinks “protozoan” is a compliment.

–

Clearly what Trump meant to say when he criticized Obama is that a President should only play golf on courses he owns.

–

#ChrisBrown‘s latest ex has had restraining order filed against him for alleged abuse. Congrats to all those who had 2/21/2017 in the pool.

–

Milo Yiannopoulos has “resigned” from Breitbart, “effective immediately.” So guess there really was a floor after all on “How low can you go?

–

The DOJ reports a Missouri man, Robert Hester, was charged after allegedly trying to launch a terrorist attack in the U.S. supporting ISIS (Fortunately, he was working with undercover law enforcement personnel instead of real terrorists.
Hester is a U.S. Citizen, born in Missouri. Yeah, those refugee and other visa bans are really going to keep us safe….

–

“When he said that the fake news media is not my enemy, it’s the enemy of the American people, I believe that crosses an important line. It’s a different thing when it’s a president — because if it’s a president you like trying to talk about the press being the enemy of the people, then it’s going to be a president you don’t like saying the same thing. And that’s very dangerous.”

Another commie-pinko attacking Trump? Nope. Chris Wallace of Fox News.’

So Trump is now tweeting angrily that “The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!”
But everyone who shows up at his rallies is a hard-working decent American patriot. Got it.

–

In all seriousness, if one of the best ways to fight terrorism is for members of the community to come forward – “If you see something say something” – but coming forward might now get you deported, isn’t Trump working on making America much LESS safe?

 

Same people accusing media of inciting fear among immigrants and foreign-looking Americans with random stories of deportation seem to have no problem with Trump and company inciting fear with random and often fake stories of terrorism

Not quite free falling

February 21, 2017

 

Six teenagers rescued Monday by police after falling through thin ice on Central Park Pond. It was 55 degrees in New York today. Another Darwin “missed it by that much.”

–

OF Dexter Fowler, now with the Cardinals, is married to an Iranian woman. He told ESPN he was planning to bring their daughter to visit family, but canceled due to Trump’s travel ban. “It’s huge. “Especially anytime you’re not able to see family, it’s unfortunate,”
And for this he is being attacked by some St. Louis fans on social media. Yo, Dexter, if you want a change of scenery, SF fans would be THRILLED to have you.

 

 

 

Not a Curt Schilling fan, but after he defended Milo Yiannopoulos, without apparently hearing Milo’s remarks dismissing the idea pedophilia with 13-yr olds, Schilling sent an apologetic series of tweets ending with “I’ll accept any and all abuse thrown my way for not thoroughly going through ALL the material before responding.”
What a concept. A Twitter apology?

 

–

TSA left a security area open and unattended this morning at JFK this morning and 11 passengers walked through; Security cameras showed three set off the metal detector..
So wonder what agents were doing at the time, dumping dangerous bottles of water?

–

Lonzo Ball’s dad “”I’m going to tell you right now, he’s better than Steph Curry, to me. Here, put Steph Curry on UCLA’s team right now, put my boy on Golden State and watch what happens.”
Not sure about possible vaccines but we sure have a narcissism epidemic in this country..

–

Mike Pence “You can anticipate that the President and all of us will continue to call out the media when they play fast and loose with the facts.”
Exactly, playing fast and loose with the facts is Trump’s job.

–

Sacramento GM Vlade Divac today said the team traded Cousins because he thought future offers would be worse, as they had a “better trade offer for the star center two days earlier.
Well that should make disappointed Kings fans feel better…. #sarcasm

–

As of Feb 20,  San Francisco at full average rainfall total- for full season Jul 1-Jun 30. All this rain really getting in way of ark building.

–

Jackie Schlegel, executive director of an anti-vaccine group in Texas is angry because vaccine advocates want to “chip away” at parents’ right to choose.
The right to choose. Uh yeah, and she said it with a straight face. #GodBlessTexas

–

#HRMcMaster is Trump’s new National Security Advisor. Seems reasonable & capable. Did he give fake crazy answers in interview?

–

So Trump is firing people who made derogatory statements about him in the past. Back in Sept. Trump himself said “the generals have been reduced to rubble, reduced to a point where it is embarrassing for our country.” Just saying.

 

NBC News is reporting that Russian experts are preparing a dossier on Donald Trump’s psychological makeup for Putin. And a senior Kremlin advisor says “among its preliminary conclusions is that the new American leader is a risk-taker who can be naïve.”
What was their first clue?

–

#TrumpPresidentsDay. I cannot tell a lie. The cherry tree was chopped down by Islamic militants who immigrated to USA. I saw it on Fox News.

 

 

Give Trump credit, he might be the first U.S. President to start a war with Sweden.
