The show goes on!

September 25, 2024

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are out of the WNBA playoffs. But so many great players are still in. A’Ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart. For starters. Keep watching!

Don’t look now but the 38-120 Chicago White Sox are on a two game winning streak.

As Trump keeps saying that everyone who won’t vote for him, Catholics, Jews, Seniors, etc, .. (so far) should have their head examined, your reminder that psychiatrists are almost universally agreed that Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. .

Mayor Eric Adams indicted on Federal charges in New York. He’s a Democrat. If he’s convicted he should go to jail. See how easy that is?

The US Senate just passed legislation to continue to fund the government until Dec 20. 78-18 18 Republicans actually voted to shut everything down on Monday.

Why do so many in the GOP hate America?

Last week Trump said that he’d “probably” meet President Zelensky. Now Donald said he wil not meet Zelensky Is there ANYTHING Trump says the truth about? Other than being a dictator on day one and punishing his enemies?

Learned from Colin Allred today Texas has been red partly because it’s one of LOWEST turnout states in the country Only 60% of eligible voters turned out in 2020.

By comparison California had 68%, Minnesota had 80%.

If voters turn out this year, Democrats can defeat Ted Cruz.

WTAF?

Mike Lee had unmitigated gall to oppose President Biden’s nominee to run Office of Government Ethics

because “we are too close to Presidential election & the term is 5 years.”

But Lee had no problem with ramming though lifetime SCOTUS nominee few weeks before 2020 election

As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warns people about Hurricane Helene, can someone ask him why he believes weather science about storms but not medical science about vaccines?


Women lead

September 25, 2024

Former San Antonio Spurs asst coach Becky Hammon, a Gregg Popovich protege, interviewed repeatedly for NBA head coaching jobs. She never got an offer; whisper was she “wasn’t head coaching material.” Mark Davis paid her $1 million to coach the Las Vegas Aces.

Result, repeat WNBA championships.

And a first round sweep tonight.

Los Angeles Dodgers, down 4-2 with two on, nobody out in bottom of the 9th, ground into game ending triple play (!) to lose to the San Diego Padres. No punch line. as an SF Giants fan I just like reporting that.

Speaker Mike Johnson says GOP House will certify the election, “if it’s a free and fair election.” Translation. Republicans are only agreeing to accept the election results if they win.

Imagine, seriously, if sports fans said they would accept the outcome of games, only if THEIR teams won.

On the Late Show, Stephen Colbert asked Canadian PM Justin Trudeau on Americans crossing border for lower drug prices. “We’re happy to try to help you out, but would be really easier if you guys had Universal Health Care.

If US only cared about health as much as gun rights.

Trump bragging on how he will take care of women by eliminating their rights: “You will no longer have anxiety from all the problems our country has today… You will be protected, & will be your protector.” Trump isn’t running for President. He’s running for Stalker in Chief.

But seriously wrap your head around this:

A candidate for President has been found guilty of sexual assault and denies dozens of accusations from others by saying things like “she would not be the chosen one.” That same candidate now calls himself “a protector of women.”

Just saying for anyone who knows someone in Texas. Avote for Colin Allred is not only a vote to send Ted Cruz back to Texas, (or Canada)

It’s also a vote to keep Mitch McConnell’s GOP replacement from being Senate Majority Leader. And a vote to keep GOP from refusing to confirm judicial nominees even if Kamala Harris is elected.


Anyone who knows the history of the Holocaust knows… It didn’t start with Nazi death camps. It started with serial numbers, registration, demonizing non-Aryans, punishing dissidents and political enemies…

If you want to know how unhinged Trump’s latest speech today was don’t take my word for it. Go to Fox News website. They aren’t even mentioning it.

(not the first time either.)

Mitch McConnell actually spoke today on the Senate floor about Democrats trying to destroy the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Funeral services for satire are pending.

Joe Manchin having hissy fit & won’t endorse Kamala Harris, because she supports ending filibuster to codify Roe V. Wade. “Shame on her. She knows the filibuster is the holy grail of democracy.” What will Manchin say if GOP takes back Senate & eliminates filibuster on day 1?

So since Trump is promising everything else why hasn’t he said if he were President he’d Sharpie the hurricane away from Florida?
