Strong words?

May 16, 2024


Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch called a time out when the T-Wolves were down 9-2 with 9 minutes left in the 1st quarter in an elimination game 6 against the Denver Nuggest. Whatever he said, can he bottle it?

Minnesota won 115 to 70.

Apparently per ESPN “The Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaway snarled traffic outside Dodger Stadium on Thursday.”

As opposed to traffic normally only being snarled on days ending in Y.

Guess ESPN doesn’t get to Dodger Stadium much.

Ronald Acuna Jr led 2023 MLB with 73 stolen bases. Cincinnati Reds’ Elly De LA Cruz today stole 4 bases vs the Dodgers to move to 30 for 2024. In May. And the weekend is young in Los Angeles.

South Dakota Governor Kristin Noem is coming to California tomorrow to be the headline speaker this weekend at the GOP convention in Burlingame.

So if you’re anywhere near San Francisco Airport, hide your dogs.

Dow briefly crossed 40,000 today. Waiting for NY Times to say how that’s bad for President Biden.

J.D. Vance held up judicial nominations to protest DOJ investigating Trump. Tommy Tuberville held up military nominations to protest abortion.

Neither Senator actually works on behalf of Americans. And they both showed up this week for Donald in NY.

Taxpayers deserve better.

GOP representatives Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert & Andy Biggs were all in NY courtroom today supporting Dear Leader instead of doing their jobs.

Not that they do their jobs when they are in DC. Remember, if Trump is returned to White House, these clowns will be his inner circle.

Bobby Zirkin, a former Democratic State Senator in Maryland, is running something he calls Democrats for Hogan.

The same Bobby Zirkin who resigned in 2020, and then who lobbied on behalf of the Catholic Church in opposition to the Maryland Child Victims Act, which would extend the statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases? Seems like a real winner. #sarcasm

If a black man had been convicted by a jury of murdering a white pro-Trump supporter during a protest in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott would not only not have pardoned the man, he’d be demanding the death penalty.

Some question Michael Cohen simply because of his animosity now towards Donald Trump. Considering how Trump throws and has thrown EVERYONE under the bus when they’re no longer useful to him, seems like animosity is the normal and sane response for ex-employees and supporters.

If Trump is as innocent as he claims, why isn’t he demanding to take the stand to defend himself?

Is one a streak?

The Giants win a game, the Giants win a game! #BeatLA

SF Giants had signed Curt Casali to a one-year contract on Wednesday after all their recent injuries, including to three of their catchers.)

(Casali is less 2 years older than Buster Posey. Say, didn’t manager Bob Melvin used to catch? )

SI reports that on May 24 Joe Buck is set to call his first MLB Game in three years, Cardinals-Cubs, with Chip Caray.

“I’ve really missed hearing Joe Buck calling a baseball game” said nobody.

Am a San Antonio Spurs fan so haven’t been laser-focused on the NBA playoffs. But in a world where Red Sox-Yankees still dominates baseball, seems a bit odd that we are a game away from Boston-New York Eastern Conference final and sports media so far is strangely quiet.

More trial news out of New York. We have a jury in the Senator Bob Menendez trial. I’m a Democrat, if he’s found guilty he should go to jail. See how easy that is?

Florida Governor Ron DeathSantis just signed GOP legislation that will make climate change a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes.

Of course as Florida increasingly suffers from climate disasters DeSantis will demand more federal aid.

Trump responds to backlash over Noem killing her dog: ‘We all have bad weeks.”

You know who wishes they had bad weeks these days? Cricket.

After Don’s interview aired, Biden campaign statement, “At the Biden campaign, we are proudly anti-puppy-killing & don’t think those who murder puppies are ‘terrific.’”

Many GOP Senators on Senate Floor Wednesday talking about National Police Week and memoralizing fallen officers.

For some reason none of them mentioned Brian Sicknick.

Tuesday Biden hit Chinese electric vehicles & chips w/h higher tariffs.

Asked on Trump’s claim China now “eating our lunch” economically, Dark Brandon replied “He’s been feeding them for a long time.”

Little coverage in national media. Would it help if Joe insulted reporters?

So will Donald Trump ask Hannibal Lecter to attend the first debate?

Media is all over former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan running for U.S. Senate and saying how bipartisan he supposedly is..


Has anyone asked Larry Hogan who he is voting for for President in November?
