5-star football recruit, Peyton Bowen who had committed to Notre Dame, flipped to Oregon yesterday and today just signed today… with Oklahoma? His tweet today included “Respect my decision.” Uh, which one?

When shirts and caps are printed for World Series, Super Bow and NBA championships that don’t happen, the clothing is often sent to underprivileged children far away from the US. Wonder how many kids next year in remote parts of the world will be sporting Carlos Correa SF Giants t-shirts?

Guessing the media has Velveeta Voldemort lie fatigue, but seems like it should be a bigger story that the man who claimed he couldn’t release his tax returns because he was under a “routine audit,” never was audited at all.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency executive facing federal fraud charges, will be freed on $250 million bond and put under home detention. If you didn’t already know he was white.

So George Santos will explain his story next week? I guess around the holidays it’s hard on short notice to find a historical fiction writer.

Senate voted 68-29 to continue funding the government before a Friday deadline and to avoid a potential government

shutdown. Good news, but how are 29 GOP Senators who voted no justifying their vote to ruin Christmas?

Apparently Cassidy Hutchinson gave damning testimony about Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in Velveeta Voldemort’s White House. Shocking – his White House HAD ethics attorneys?

Hunter Biden, who has never been elected to office and does not have a security clearance, is open about being a recovering addict with a messed-up past. Idly wondering, wonder what some politicians and pundits who are attacking him have on THEIR personal laptops?

Just amazing. Fox News headline :”Drug overdose deaths topped 106,000 in 2021, CDC says in final report.”

Look at the actual story and it says ” spike in drug overdose deaths contributed to a 25-year low in life expectancy.”

They left out a little detail that the Washington Post found time to include on the same story about the low in life expectancy in America.”Drug overdoses were responsible for 106,699 deaths in 2021 – COVID killed 416,893,

The SF Giants were undefeated in the Carlos Correa era.

The Mets LUXURY tax bill will be higher in 2023 than 7 or 8 MLB teams’ payrolls.

So wonder who on SF Giants staff got the job of calling some factory in China and saying “You know that order of Carlos Correa bobbleheads and shirts we wanted you to rush to have ready by Fan Fest? Uh, never mind.”

Meanwhile, if the Golden State Warriors wanted to find a night to give up 91 points in the first half and not have it be the number one story in local SF Bay Area sports, well, they picked a good night.

All you need to know about some MAGA Republicans is that they mock President Zelensky and make a hero of Kyle Rittenhouse.

–

Just imagine what Senator John McCain would have said to some of these MAGA members of Congress siding with Russia over Ukraine.

–

One of saddest changes of Senators in January will be in Ohio. GOP’s Rob Portman has been bipartisan leader in support of Ukraine. And now Ohio has J.D. Vance, who said in Feb 2022: “I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.”

As Senators try to rush home for Christmas, time to do right thing & pass Amy Klobuchar & Lindsay Graham’s amendment to create permanent path to residency for Afghan refugees who helped Americans & were rescued from Kabul in 2021.

–

More from Amy Klobuchar on Afghan Adjustment Act. “I think about people in other countries who stand w/ our soldiers… if this is what we do when they to come our country, if we don’t have their backs, what message are we sending to people in rest of the world?” She’s right.

So Velveeta Voldemort was NOT under audit in 2016 when he claimed that was the reason he wouldn’t release his taxes. Which means he flat out lied, repeatedly. Why should anyone believe him on anything?
