Top story on ESPN.com tonight –

WNBA All-Star Roster confirmed – Snubs and top questions:

Okay, before this year how many casual sports fan even knew the WNBA even had an All-Star game

–

Caitlin Clark is good at basketball.

The defending WNBA champs Las Vegas Aces are VERY good at basketball.

The Aces blew open a close game today in Las Vegas in the 4th quarter and won 88-69.

For those feeling discouraged about voting in November, and thinking it doesn’t matter.

If our votes didn’t matter so much GOP wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop Democrats from voting.

–

Buried lede from NY Times today in a story about possible GOP VP candidates. “Mr. Trump has no public events this week.” So uh, shouldn’t it be a headline about how maybe the debate tired him out too much, and Donald just doesn’t have the stamina he used to??

–

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is asked at White House Press Conference “You might not want to answer this, but”Does Biden have Alzheimer’s, any form of dementia or a degenerative illness that causes lapses?

“It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question.””

–

Nancy Pelosi recommended this morning that President Biden sit down for interviews with “serious journalists.” One thing after these last few days that I would like to ask the our great Speaker Emeritus – just how many “serious” MSM journalists do we have left?

In all seriousness, imagine if SCOTUS ruled that a President was basically a King with Bill Clinton in the White House. Or Barack Obama. Republicans would be calling for burning the Supreme Court building down.

–

Why there is no satire.

Donald Trump Jr. is reposting a Vanity Fair story of a woman who worked as babysitter for RFK Jr. in late 1990s and who has now come forward with allegations of sexual assault. So does he think his dad should pick RFK Jr as a running mate?

–

CNN and other MSM attacking President Biden and seem gleeful about the idea of pushing him out over the debate…. One thing they don’t say: if Joe did step down, it would take them less than 24 hours to start attacking Kamala Harris or whoever else became Democratic nominee.

So GOP has ordered the Bible in every classroom in Oklahoma.

Okay kids, check out Genesis 19:30-35 “That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him….. Both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.”

Or this – Genesis 19:7-8, Lot “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”

And2 Samuel 11 King David saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful…Bathsheba the wife of Uriah.  David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.” (And then he sent her husband to get killed in battle.)

Hey media. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed bill in April that prevents local governments from requiring heat-exposure protections for workers.

Why don’t you ask Donald Trump if he agrees with President Biden- who is ordering heat protection for workers, or Deathsantis?

Stormy Daniels to Rachel Maddow: “I’m not a hero, I just told the truth.

Monday – Another day without a starting pitcher named for the SF Giants, now missing most of their starting rotation on the IL.

Today they had the excuse of an off day

Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north. Have to figure Canadians were thrilled that government offices were closed today so they weren’t overloaded with questions from Americans about immigration.

–

CNN’s Jake Tapper just said Joe Biden should have 2 hour press conference to prove his fitness to be President with freewheeling & no doubt some hostile questions.

–

Uh, Tapper just presided over 90 minute debate where he didn’t challenge/question Trump on even the most egregious lies.

–

–

Not that it will change anything now but would really love an apology from EVERYONE who in 2016 said there was no difference between voting for Hillary Clinton and voting for Donald Trump. Yes, I am talking to you hardcore Bernie supporters.

–

CNN is actually bragging about their debate “An unprecedented debate as only CNN could do it.” This is like Norfolk Southern bragging about their Ohio train wreck.

–

Media – Bad debate night means Joe Biden is unqualified to be president. Also media: Donald Trump ranting about windmill cancer & showers & sharks & saying Liz Cheney is guilty of treason is just a shrug. Time to ask if MSM has officially joined the cult?

–

I support President BIden. He has been a good president & he is a decent man.

But has it occurred to GOP & SCOTUS that if somehow they get Joe to step down, whoever replaces him as the Democratic nominee might take a much less restrained view of absolute Presidential immunity?

–

As awful as today’s SCOTUS decision was, how many people may finally be shocked out of their complacency by Trump’s nonstop ranting about what he intends to do with unlimited power and who he intends to go after.

Anyone who knows anything about history, or has ever dealt with a two year old, knows that it’s not a good idea to give a tyrant free reign.

–

Russia has 2-term limits for President.

Putin has been in power for over 20 years & Vlad has adjusted rules to keep himself in power through 2036. It’s now ILLEGAL to vote against him

Anyone think Trump if elected in 2024 won’t try to do same in US?

This SCOTUS sure wouldn’t stop him.
