MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred “My single biggest disappointment is because of the kind of political process in Oakland, we didn’t find a solution to keep the A’s in Oakland.” Wow, with that kind of duplicity, have to wonder, is Manfred planning to run for office as a Republican?

(Not an A’s fan. At all. But Oakland’s John Fisher is one of the worst owners in pro sports. Which is saying something.)

After NL barely hung on to win their first All-Star game in over a decade, SF Giants fans could have told you. NL should have saved Camilo Doval for the 9th.

But Doval gets the win. So karma is well pleased.

“Georgia football coach Kirby Smart says he hasn’t yet solved speeding issue that’s plagued his team – 11 moving violations AT LEAST – since a player and staffer died in a January 15 racing related crash.

But Smart says he “constantly looking & searching” for ways to address it.

Uh, two people are already dead in 2023. May I suggest “take away players’ car keys?

Doesn’t really surprise me that the GOP has become increasingly partisan against the Democratic party. But it’s still surprising and more than a little sad to see how much today’s GOP has turned against democracy, in the US and around the world.

Jon Tester is a good Senator. But Jon is not a far-left Democrat & doesn’t agree with Biden 100%. Tester is also is the ONLY Democrat who holds statewide office in Montana.

If you don’t know how important that is look in Alabama where moderate Doug Jones lost to Tommy Tuberville.

And not getting much coverage but Dianne Feinstein is walking around on Senate floor these days & while she looks frail, looks much better than she did than in May DiFi KNOWS if she resigns Democrats lose Judiciary majority & ability to confirm Biden’s judges.

At this point she’s a hero. Period.

Watching the train wreck that is Senator Tommy Tuberville should make us realize just how much of a bullet this country dodged by Georgia not electing Herschel Walker.

Tommy Tuberville actually played football for Southern Arkansas in the 1970s. A charitable explanation for his behavior these days might be too many concussions?

Have no idea if Musk arch-rival Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads will finally be the competitor that takes down Twitter. But Threads wouldn’t have existed if Elon hadn’t himself tried to destroy Twitter. Karma’s a b*tch.

Today’s GOP: Boycotting Bud Light after one ad featured a trans woman is somehow patriotic. But Mike Lindell’s “My Pillow” company goes broke because his wild election conspiracy theories caused MANY retailers to drop his product & it’s “cancel culture.”

Make it make sense.

So in the same week we’re hearing a GOP school superintendent say the Tulsa Race massacre wasn’t about race, and a GOP senator saying white nationalists aren’t racist. Are they that stupid? Or do they think voters are?
