GOP won the Congressional Baseball Game tonight. Maybe just as well.
Had the Democrats won Republicans would have spent most of next year saying the game was stolen.

Athletics stadium deal won final legislative approval in Nevada. Figure state feels pretty good about sports now with WNBA Aces & NHL Golden Knights winning championships. Only thing for Oakland to smile about. Wait until Vegas discovers what it’s like to deal with John Fisher.

Mets pitcher Drew Smith is the latest to be suspended 10 games for sticky substance. Like the other pitchers, he says he is innocent, saying in this case it was just sweat and rosin. How long until we hear the “tainted rosin” defense?

Mike Yastrzemski, today with a 2 strike, 2 run game tying home run in the bottom of the 9th, is doing to the St. Louis Cardinals what Paul Goldschmidt has been doing for years to the SF Giants.
(Per ESPN, Cardinals, up 5-3, had a 97.9% chance of winning before that pitch.)

Meanwhile, what went on in the world yesterday?
Well, on Fox News the headline is about a transgender activist who went topless at the White House Pride Event. Pay no attention to that man in Florida being arraigned in Florida who put boxes of documents behind a bathroom curtain.
So how long until Trump starts telling the story of how the people who arraigned him in Miami yesterday all had tears in their eyes, big strong men calling him Sir?

Later Fox did add the headline “Trump released from court on several conditions, prays with supporters after arraignment.:” What was his prayer?
“So help me, me?”
Garth Brooks isn’t backing down on his decision to sell all beers at his Nashville honky tonk, and his comment “plenty of other places to be an a**hole,” saying now “I love diversity.”
Already impressed with his talent. But beginning to really love Garth Brooks.

Oh please oh please can someone make a video comparing Donald Trump referring to “my Presidential Papers” to Golum referring to “my precious?”

Marsha Blackburn actually involved in something good this time – working with Richard Blumenthal & Jon Ossof to get Uber and Lyft to toughen protections against transporting human trafficking victims.
Senators love being in headlines. Maybe if media covered more bipartisan efforts we’d see more bipartisanship?-
Inflation & unemployment are down, stock market is up. Even if the Former Guy wasn’t man who has been indicted twice… so far, our current President is doing very good job.
So why isn’t anyone in media writing Joe Biden deserves re-election even if his opponent wasn’t a crook?
