Meanwhile there are only about 10 games left in the NBA 82 game pre-season….

The “regular” season ends April 5. And despite 10 of 15 teams making at least the play in round in each conference, in the eastern conference, three teams are already eliminated, and the Knicks and Wizards could be gone this weekend.

What’s next? Expanded playoffs?

Number #1 ranked women’s tennis player Ash Barty, 25, who just won the Australian Open, abruptly retired from tennis at age 25. “The first time is the hardest” said Brett Favre and Tom Brady.

–

Listening to Cory Booker after Tom Cotton is like taking a nice hot shower after crawling around in mud.

–

Tom Cotton is really underrated as an a**hole.

–

When Joe Biden said he would have a woman Vice President he didn’t know who it would be. When Joe Biden said he would choose a Black woman as his first SCOTUS pick, wouldn’t shock me if he wasn’t already leaning towards Ketanji Brown Jackson. Ketanji is incredibly impressive.

–

So President Biden did not choose Lindsey Graham’s preferred South Carolina judge for his SCOTUS nominee. And now questioning Ketanji Brown Jackson, Graham acted like a petty little b*tch whose BFF wasn’t chosen homecoming queen.

–

Senator Dianne Feinstein is admittedly getting up in years, but few things make her look better than following Lindsey Graham

–

Listening to discussions now between Klobuchar and others with SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson about “stare decisis.” Have to wonder how many GOP Senators hear “Starry decisis” and think it has to do with one of the women accusing Velveeta Voldemort?

–

Ketanji Brown Jackson “The Supreme Court has said right to vote is a right upon which all other rights are essentially founded…it’s a fundamental right.”

Amy Klobuchar -“That’s how Justice Barrett answered that question as well in her hearing.”

ICYMI, that’s Midwestern nice for saying “she lied.”

–

It truly boggles the mind that Ted Cruz and Ketanji Brown Jackson were classmates at Harvard Law School.

–

As a woman who often has bad hair days, reminder in advance of Marsha Blackburn’s questioning today: It really isn’t fair to attack Senator Blackburn on her questionable hair styles. It is, however, fair, to attack Senate Blackburn on her questionable relationship with the truth.

–

Dear Marsha Blackburn: If you claim to be pro-life but consistently vote against things like Democrats’ Child Tax Credit and family leave, can I respectfully suggest you put a baby bootie in it?

–

On “The Last Word” tonight – A young woman being interviewed from Mariupol saying she and her family hoped if they died it would be quick and not by starvation. Putin is evil. Period.

Baseball fan are used to seeing the notation “TBD” for a team’s starting pitcher on a given day.

–

But watching the insanity with Panthers, Saints, Falcons, and the on and off retirement of Tom Brady, with the Bucs, “TBD” may well be a regular notation for 2022 starting QB’s in NFC South.

–

Lots of busted brackets after the first weekend of March Madness. But thinking even those who have long since shredded their pick sheets at least have to have enjoyed watching games that mean something, as opposed to what feels like an 82 game NBA pre-season.

–

Meanwhile, Atlanta Falcons just traded Matt Ryan, their best QB ever, to the Colts for a 2022 third-round pick? Amazed they didn’t ask Indianapolis to throw in a bag of peanuts too.

–

Charlie Kirk is quite simply his own best argument against the ideal of White Male Supremacy.

29 people shot at Arkansas car show, including children & one has died. Even Fox News should be covering it, right? Nah, their headline is about “weekend shootings in major Dem-run-city up 383% from 2021” Because 29 total people were also shot & wounded in all of New York City.

Ted Cruz seems especially cranky today. Almost as if he missed his flight back to DC yesterday and got belligerent enough that the police were called.

–

And how thrilled is Amy Klobuchar now in SCOTUS judiciary hearings that since Democrats are majority party now she doesn’t have to follow Ted Cruz?

–

Chuck Grassley in Ketanji Brown Jackson SCOTUS hearing says he’s emphasizing need for “thorough respectful process.” And repeats, “thorough, extensive process…” Grassley has just used word “thorough” more than his GOP colleagues did during entire Amy Comey Barrett hearings.

–

John Cornyn talking about how the Founders established three separate branches of government. Can he remind Senator Tuberville, who after his election said they were “The House, the Senate, and the executive…?

–

Not sure anyone knows the answer to Putin’s evil Ukraine invasion. And certainly Biden’s efforts with NATO must be kept somewhat secret so not to “give Putin a road map,” in Klobuchar’s words. But isn’t it nice to have a President working on solutions instead of rant tweeting?

–

Dear Media: We understand SCOTUS confirmation hearings are political theater.

But you are going to show Senators questioning Ketanji Brown Jackson, please give as much time to Democrats being positive as to Republicans trying to tear her down. Sincerely, a tired country.
