Sweet Sixteen set for both men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments:

1 Big Ten men’s team left.

4 Big Ten women’s teams left.

Let the midwest women’s bragging begin.

–

An independent investigation into the Washington Football team is ongoing, stemming “from a series of Washington Post articles detailing sexual harassment allegations in the organization over 15 years by past employees.”

And how has NFL reacted? Wednesday they cleared the way for Dan Snyder to buy out minority owners and take complete control of the team.

–

If Joe Biden wants a real bipartisan win in Washington, he might try an executive order to get rid of Snyder.

–

So CNN seriously did a headline story on shrimp tails in Cinnamon Toast Crunch? I guess it beats trying to create fake scandals on Joe Biden.

–

Seriously Conde Nast Traveler? Headline story in today’s online edition? “The Best Beaches in Miami, From South Beach to Sunny Isles.” Come for the sun stay for the Covid?

–

As an admitted luddite, still find it charming that many Senators still have as much trouble at times dealing with mute buttons etc as I do.

–

Hearings on #ForThePeopleAct started today. GOP will come up with a thousand excuses why they don’t want to vote for it. But it really comes down to ONE reason: GOP doesn’t want most Americans to vote.

–

So when is Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who says in the south “we don’t vote on Sundays” because “we keep the Sabbath holy,” going to introduce a bill to close bars and ban gun sales on Sunday?

–

Ted Cruz on #ForThePeopleAct, “This bill is the single most dangerous bill this committee has ever considered.” Thinking if you need any more endorsement? Because it seems like a universal truth that a bill that seems dangerous to Cruz is good for democracy.

–

Could we at least get GOP to agree it should be as difficult to buy a gun as to buy a package of Sudafed?

–

Still amazed at how many so called “pro-life” GOP Senators think it should be harder to vote than to buy a gun.

–

Ted Cruz said he will not wear a mask when on television because he’s been vaccinated & then lies by saying CDC guidance states he does not have to. Well, why should a man who lied about the election tell the truth about the CDC.

–

–

Ted Cruz also claiming if you’re a child molester Democrats want you to vote. Whereas if you’re a child molester Republicans want you to run for Senate?

–

Amy Klobuchar is all of us with Ted Cruz.

One week from tomorrow.

–

But thinking not exactly a lot of people ready to buy some peanuts and Cracker Jack, especially for sharing.

–

Of all the headines on ESPN.com – the top four for MLB are all about injuries.

–

–

Now Oregon State president F. King Alexander, formerly at LSU, has resigned after backlash over sexual misconduct issues when Les Miles was Tigers football coach. Meanwhile, how long until Miles himself, who was recently fired at Kansas, runs for Senate somewhere on GOP ticket?

–

Once again, simple campaign promise Joe Biden should fulfill is a First Feline.

Cats are cats. It would surely make headlines w/ things like dragging mouse into Oval Office or shedding on some important person’s expensive suit. And cat stories would keep bored media busy.

–

Such a small detail on an awful day, but media is reporting that the Boulder killer shot an “elderly man” first. The oldest male victim was 61. Not only is 61 not elderly, in California it’s not even old enough to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

–

On CNN, @PreetBharara responding to Sidney Powell’s defamation defense that “no reasonable person” would believe her election fraud claims. “This is the kind of argument that causes people to hate lawyers, and for good reason.”

–

I do look at Fox News regularly, because I don’t like to live in an echo chamber. But I’m still waiting for them to report on Sidney Powell’s defamation lawsuit defense that no reasonable person would take her election fraud arguments on behalf of the Former Guy seriously.

–

Meanwhile, Fox News headline last week “Atlanta shooting suspect attended rehab for sex addiction, felt remorse.” Fox News headline this week, nothing about family members saying Colorado shooter had mental illness, but carefully includes his full Muslim name. Sure it’s just coincidence.

–

3 thoughts about Joe Manchin. 1. I’m not a fan, but he’s liberal by red WV standards. 2. In most cases, including appointments, he votes w/ Democrats. 3. If he loses, it will NOT be to a progressive, but to a Republican who is far worse. We need more blue Senate seats in 2022.

–

We don’t know for sure that sensible gun control legislation will stop or even drastically mitigate mass shootings. We do know for sure that “thoughts and prayers” aren’t working.

Only in America can we have regular arguments about the unequal media coverage of two mass shootings IN THE SAME WEEK.

–

What is wrong with people? Have a client in Florida who says she supports what DeSantis has done as Governor. But she also adds that she’s been fighting COVID-19 for four weeks, and it just lingers on and on

–

Ted Cruz today “every time there’s a shooting we play this ridiculous theater….” Uh, Senator Cruz, hearing was set before last two mass shootings. And would you like to propose a date when there won’t be a shooting? Because that’s hard to predict & increasingly rare.

–

Cory Booker, speaking today at Senate Judiciary Hearing on gun violence: “I feel like we live in bizarro world. We are way out of step with every other nation on the planet and somehow we don’t think we have the power to stop this…”

–

John Kerry spoke eloquently about the Vietnam war, and being “the last man to die for a mistake.” Thinking now about the last man, or woman, who will die for a COVIDiot’s mistake.
