Worth watching

May 9, 2024

Over 13,000 people showed up in Indianapolis today to watch Caitlin Clark in her first WNBA preseason game.

For the record, that’s about three times what the Oakland A’s drew earlier this week.

Meanwhile Colorado Rockies put 9 runs on the board today against SF Giants The Rockies have been so bad, their 9 runs now matches their win total for the season. (They are 9-28.) As an SF Giants fan, this season is painful.

No one runs the table, or rather the court, in the NBA postseason. But who expected the last undefeated team left in the playoffs after Thursday night would be the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Four of Trump’s children are RNC delegates, plus Don Jr’s fiancee & Tiffany Trump’s husband.

While Eric’s wife is RNC Chairman. But sure, let media promote GOP talking point that it’s abuse of power simply that President Biden loves & supports his former-addict son who isn’t involved in politics.


Trump is saying in PUBLIC that he will change laws for donors, free convicted January 6 criminals, weaponize the federal government.. and oh yeah, “Russia, do whatever the hell you want.”

Can you imagine what Donald thinks he needs to keep secret?

SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED is trending on social media and it turns out to be about a Taylor Swift concert. But okay, I can’t be the only one who thought, was this something that came up in cross-examination of Stormy Daniels about Trump today?

MAGA world: A man who cheats on all of his wives, including with at least two women while his current wife is home with their baby son, is perfectly fine to be President. But a single woman who has a consensual affair with a co-worker shouldn’t be able to be a prosecutor.

Story just posted today & is already off front page of NY Times website: Former & would be President told oil companies executives to donate $1 billion to his campaign because, if elected, he would roll back environmental rules.

This should be a bigger headline.

Donald Trump is also fundraising today off by selling t-shirts with his mug shot. “NEVER SURRENDER – IN STYLE!” A minimum $47 donation! Though the site prefers $75 or even $100 Imagine how much Trump will charge for a picture of him behind bars.

Ted Cruz today on Senate floor complained of United Airlines trying to stop additional flights out of National Airport because of their near monopoly at Dulles.

While I hate agreeing with Ted Cruz he’s right.

But Ted’s might have a have tough time getting upgraded on his next United flight to Cancun.

Outta here

Second win for the SF Giants when they gave up 4 runs or more. In ALL of 2024. Almost 1/4 way through the season. Siri, what is “offensively challenged?”

Meanwhile the Colorado Rockies 8-28, will play the Chicago White Sox 9-28, at the end of June.

Will the series be sponsored by Charmin?

NBA has to be disappointed as far as TV ratings and merchandise sales that the Lakers and Warriors are out of the playoffs. On the other hand, at least right now the odds seem slim for an Indiana-Cleveland Eastern Conference final.

Trump supporters tried to get rid of Fani Willis over dating coworker & allegations she didn’t pay 50% of trip costs. including a few nice bottles of wine.

While Aileen Cannon stays at Sage Lodge – a lovely $1,000 a nt and up, way up, luxury resort in Montana -sponsored by conservative law school. Why can’t Dems go after her?

Don’t remember a single Republican or right-wing pundit telling Ken Starr that the Clinton cigar story was too much of a salacious detail.

Ted Cruz about the current trial and Stormy Daniels “There is no person on Planet Earth that believes Donald Trump has been celibate all his life.”

Note to Ted Cruz from Planet Earth.

Trump is not on trial for adultery, though you would have impeached Bill Clinton over it. Donald is on trial for trying to buy and bury stories about his adultery to interfere with an election. Thank you for coming to MY Ted talk.

So since RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in medical science why did he trust doctors to diagnose and reportedly treat a worm in his brain. Asking for a country tired of crazy.

Had to pause and replay to make sure I heard this right.

Manu Raju reporting House killed Marge Three Names’ efforts to remove Speaker Mike Johnson.

CNN’s Jake Tapper to Manu “Thank you. breaking news, very exciting…” “Very exciting?” This is NOT a damn reality show. This is our democracy.

Can media stop saying Kristi Noem is “taking hit after hit” this week? Nothing that is happening to Noem isn’t self-inflicted. Even Michael Vick realized he f*cked up and at least publicly has tried to make amends.

126 women in the US House right now. 25 women in the US Senate.

And the one who gets the most coverage from major US media is the crazy one from Georgia who passes no legislation but has an insatiable need for attention.

Enough.
