Left Coast Sports Babe

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart got his sixth flagrant foul of the year, so will be suspended the Pistons next game, Friday, which happens to be his bobblehead night.

Even Draymond Green is going… dude, you couldn’t work on your temper timing?

–

Meanwhile if you need a little fun distraction and like basketball, Victor Wembanyama was chosen to the NBA reserves for the All-Star team. Seems like he might have celebrated tonight. Watch Spurs-Bucks for some highlight-reel stuff.

–

Hey MAGA – You all quit drinking Bud Light and switched to Modelo Beer, brewed in Mexico, to own the libs? Enjoy those 25% tariffs!

–

Even now when I go to London, I love British newspaper. They don’t mess around.

Who says there’s no good news these days? Chuck Todd is leaving NBC News.

–

It’s bad enough now with FBI agents being fired for no reason other than they worked on cases against Trump. GOP Senators have to know that if Kash Patel is confirmed FBI will basically cease to exist. And sooner or later, even if they do Trump’s bidding now, they’ll join everyone else under the bus.

Yet these purges are rapidly getting into Russian territory- how long until people start falling out of windows?

I thought this was a sick joke. Nope. When Donald Trump was asked about his plans to visit the American Eagle/ helicopter crash site he responded “I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?”

He. Is. A. Sociopath.

–

No word from Trump on tonight’s tragic Medevac plane crash in Philadelphia. All on board were apparently Mexican nationals, including a child. Now, we might have heard some words of sympathy if the passengers were Russian.

–

A Times printed an op-ed against RFK Jr, but the publisher edited and twisted it to make it come out as if the writer endorsed him

Almost makes me wish I had an LA Times subscription so I could cancel it.

The writer Eric Reinhart posted the op-ed with this on Twitter.

“I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting. “

Heard on the CBS SF Bay Area Late Night News with Sara Donchey. And outside of Kansas City and Philadelphia, she’s right.

–

But the least expensive Super Bowl tickets (upper corner end zone) as of tonight are going for $4350 each on Stubhub. But tell me again how it’s worth stripping funding from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, children, seniors, parents, veterans.. so millionaires & billionaires can have tax cuts?

–

Bipartisan reminder.

You can support Los Angeles after devastating wildfires and still hate the Dodgers.

They just signed star reliever Kirby Yates to 1-year $13 million contract. Dodgers total payroll, including luxury tax penalties, will be in excess of $500 million.

More than the total payroll of six MLB teams, and only at most 40% higher than combined payroll of the 4 other teams in the NL West.

–

To paraphrase the late songwriter Roger Whitaker – Will the last words ever spoken be “But her emails?”

–

GOP Rep Rich McCormick of Georgia asked, “when in history have we had our poorest people also be our fattest people?” Senator Cory Booker addresses this regularly; awfulness of “an apple costing more than a Twinkie.” Healthy food is more expensive than junk food. Period.

–

One of the first political things I remember as a very little girl was watching and admiring Caroline Kennedy. I so admire her again today. For calling out her cousin RFK Jr as a predator. (and although she didn’t say it, as a sociopath.)

–

Wonder how many Republican members of Congress are getting calls and emails to their offices from constituents over Velveeta Voldemort’s executive order freezing federal funding? Guessing it’s a lot. And it will be more. We need to keep up the outrage.

–

California Farm Bureau says migrant farmworker deportation fears have virtually halted the Central Valley’s citrus harvest.

And if you think the price of eggs is high, wait until you see what the price of juice and citrus fruits are going to be…

The Miami Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler for a third time, this time indefinitely, after Butler walked out of practice today.

Guess in sports, if you’re a star they don’t always let you do it.

–

So with all the upcoming Super Bowl prop bets is there one about how many controversial officiating calls will go in favor of Mahomes and the Chiefs?

–

Trump just froze ALL federal financial grants & loans,

His official reasoning sounds very “sane.” “Use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism & green new deal social engineering policies is waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve day-to-day lives of those we serve.”

–

As Maddow points out, Trump has now rescinded over 200 job offers for FDIC examiners. All FDIC does is protect your the money you have in the bank in case the bank goes out of business… What could possibly go wrong?

–

Daily Mail headline “Typhoon Trump sends message to the world with his non-stop, four-day trip of putdowns, rows and a tariff spat.” I don’t think this is the compliment they think it is..

–

Elon Musk tells the AfD in Germany that children should not be held responsible for the sins of their parents. Yet in the USA he’s fine with deporting dreamers. Make it make sense.

–
Hey Fox News… why aren’t you covering the story of a man pardoned by Trump for taking part in the January 6 insurrection was killed by police during a traffic stop on Sunday in Indiana. He was allegedly armed and resisting arrest.

The best people….

–

Not just that Trump’s inaugural television ratings fell – 6 million fewer than in 2017 – and 9 million fewer than for Biden in 2021….

With DonOld deciding to move indoors, television was only option for those in DC, so even those low ratings were artificially boosted.

–

Remember when “Trump Project 2025” was briefly a big story and DonOld fervently disavowed it? Now go to http://project2025.org Yep “Presidential Transition Project.” He thought his voters were too dumb to know better. And he was right.

–

As Senator Mike Lee calls to abolish TSA & airlines do their own screening.

How many know on 9-11, hijackers all booked one way business class tickets, without frequent flier numbers or upgrades? 1 or 2 such bookings is unusual. 4 on a plane doesn’t happen. But airlines didn’t flag it.

Patrick Mahomes told reporters that refs are not giving favorable calls to the KC Chiefs.

Hey, anyone checked out if Mahomes is in concussion protocol?

–

The Miami Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler, again, this time for missing a flight. Butler is unhappy and wants to be traded. And who wouldn’t want such a great team player?

–

The Mobile, ALABAMA Civic Center was being replaced. Until it snowed.

Well the GOP should be against dealing with the collapse with any federal funds until Alabama and other Southern states invest in snow removal equipment!!!ll the GOP should be against rebuilding it with any federal funds until Alabama and other Southern states invest in snow removal equipment!!!

–

Oooh, while flipping channels just saw CNN Chyron “Musk bashes Trump’s AI investment” Who has February in “when will the bromance be over” pool?

–

–

We can argue about whether or not President Biden should have presumptively pardoned many of his family members. But one thing is simple fact. None of them attacked and injured police officers.

–

Chris Murphy sums it up: “If you attack a police officer in this country you’re going to jail. Unless you attack a police officer in the service of Donald Trump.”

–

Now that Trump has issued an Executive Order to overturn an affirmative action /equal opportunity order issued by LBJ in 1965(!) could some media person ask Senators Cornyn and Cruz of Texas if they think President Lyndon Baines Johnson was too “woke?”

–

Stephen Colbert on the story that Trump is thinking about inviting some January 6 convicts to the White House. “Really want them to get them in there? Tell them they’re not invited. They’ll find a way.”

So let’s see. Both REPUBLICAN Senators from Alaska have already come out against DonOld renaming Denali. What’s next, will Trump decide to invade Alaska?

–

Hey, my fellow Democrats and the media. Can we stop letting Donald Trump talk about his “Golden Age” without calling it what it really is? A second “Gilded Age.”

–

For those who forgot or didn’t learn the history “Historians saw Gilded Age as a time of of materialistic excesses marked by widespread political corruption. The Gilded Age was also an era of poverty as high concentration of wealth became more visible and contentious.”

–

Majority leader John Thune is complaining that Democrats are slowing down the confirmation process for Pete Hegseth. Sounds like someone told him more accusations are coming.

–

AG Pick Pam Bondi asked last week in confirmation hearing about convictions of those who violently assaulted Capitol police on Jan. 6. “Let me be very clear in speaking to you, I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country.” That aged well.

I’m so old that I remember when I disagreed with Republicans on many policies but when we agreed that injuring police officers was wrong.

–

Why cult members stay in cult: Fox news website TOP headline yesterday evening.

“Trump revokes security clearance of dozens of intel officials involved in Hunter Biden laptop coverup”

Much lower on FOX website: “Trump pardons nearly every Jan 6 defendant in marathon executive order signing”

–

Marco Rubio confirmed 99-0 by the Senate to be Secretary of State.

Most Democrats disagree with Rubio on many issues. But they understand Marco is a competent person who is capable of doing the job. Unlike several at least of DonOld’s nominees.

To all those who voted for Velveeta Voldemort saying they just wanted change or didn’t want Kamala Harris and told themselves “He won’t be that bad…” Yes he is that bad. Maybe worse.

–

Praising Trump, Steve Scalise compares him to Rosa Parks. Scalise has consistently been against voting rights legislation & gave a 2002 speech to a White Supremacist group. To paraphrase Will Smith, Rep. Scalise, take Rosa Parks’ name out of your f*cking mouth.

–

Caitlin Jenner must be so happy hearing her friend DonOld say there are only two genders – male and female.

–

34.4 million people tuned in live to watch Mr. Trump’s swearing-in on the major TV networks, according to statistics from Nielsen.

Down from nearly 40 million who watched Biden’s inaugural in 2021.

Forget popular vote. DonOld just lost what really matters to him… the ratings game.

Forget Velveeta Voldemort for 24 hours.

Cecile Richards, Ann Richards’ daughter, passed away today from brain cancer.

From her family:

“If you want to celebrate Cecile today, we invite you to put on some New Orleans Jazz, gather with friends and family over a good meal, and remember something she said a lot over the last year. “It’s not hard to imagine future generations asking, when there was so much at stake for our country, what did you do?

And the only acceptable answer “Everything we could.”

That you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…

Seems appropriate for inaugural day.

–

Was rooting for the Bills since they’ve never won and even I wonder why the Ravens didn’t give it to Henry for the 2 point conversion. As Molly Ivins said “Dance with them what brung ya.”

–

Again, nobody left today’s Rams vs Eagles game despite cold weather & now snow. And the weather for Ravens Bills was even wrose.

Proving, again canceling outdoor inaugural had little to do with weather and everything to do with Velveeta Voldemort’s fragile ego. Non billionaires just aren’t that into him.

–

Just remember. Honeymoon starts being over at 12:01 PM.

For starters. Offshore oil drilling doesn’t go over well in tourism-dependent Florida, r Louisiana (Deepwater Horizon.)

Deportation will affect countless GOP owned businesses/homes.

And many in GOP hate big tech as much as Don loves big tech $$$.

–

How long is it going to take before working and middle class Americans realize that a Trump billionaire boys club Presidency devoted to retribution isn’t going to help improve their daily lives a bit? And that that his expensive revenge tour will RAISE prices?

–

This weekend it got so bad DC hotels rates for Jan 19-21 were in some cases as low as they are during conventions. Also have to wonder, with outdoor ceremony canceled how many visitors will just eat cost of their nonrefundable rooms & stay home? Trump is already bad for business.

Senators Tom Cotton & Pete Ricketts have publicly opposed Trump’s plan to extend the deadline for the TikTok ban. GOP on their way to finding out, it’s a lot easier to support a crazy person when he doesn’t have the power to do a lot of the crazy things he says he’s going to do.

On SNL, Dave Chappelle on Jimmy Carter visiting Israel after his Presidency. The Israeli government told him it wasn’t safe to visit Palestine. He went anyway. “Seeing former US President, walking w/ very little security, cheered by Palestinians. Don’t know if that was good president. But am sure, that was a great man.”

–

But poor Donald. First everyone refers to “President Musk” – Now the toast of the Washington DC this week will be the Commanders.

–

Meanwhile, for anyone who remembers the days that breathing on Tom Brady was considered a personal foul, the refs have resurrected that penalty for Patrick Mahomes.

–

Can we STOP with “ceremony was moved indoors because of the cold?” Most people, including bipartisan committee organizing inaugural, wanted to go through with things as planned. It was only DonOld who said no. For his hair, for crowd size? Who knows. But not for the cold.

–

Btw, this is Greenland, taken from a plane in June. Thinking Donald might want to try to take over a place he could actually stand the cold.

–

It was 20 degrees in Kansas City, wind chill makes it feel like 8. And temperature was falling later in game.. Over 76,000 people who have been there for hours were at Arrowhead stadium for the Texans/Chiefs game. The whole game. They, unlike Velveeta Voldemort, are not wimps.

–

TikTok shuts down in the US, says “we are fortunate that President Trump has indicated he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office.” Translation, we are still working out how much we will pay him and how many hotels China will let him build.

–

GOP loves to say Laken Riley’s name. And yes,her murder was awful.

Starter list of names they never say & whose murders won’t result in GOP legislation: Charlotte Bacon, (Sandy Hook) Makenna Lee Elrod,(Ulvalde), Tywanza Sanders (Charleston), Jaime Guttenberg (Parkland).

The signing of Roki Sasaki reminds us of one thing. With these horrific fires you can love and feel sympathy for Los Angeles, and still hate the Dodgers.

–

Meanwhile, Trump is moving viewing for his inaugural to the Capital One Arena.

The Capital One Arena holds only 20,000 people. The US Capitol rotunda holds 700 Supposedly there were 200,000 tickets issued for the inauguration. Wanna guess how many of them were going to go unused

For those who don’t follow sports, the arena is normally home to the NBA Washington Wizards – currently 6-33. Yes, 6-33. The biggliest losers in the NBA. Coincidence?

–

Was at President Obama’s inaugural. It was VERY VERY cold. Still the biggest crowds ever. It’s not the cold Donald can’t handle. It’s that he knows a big crowd won’t show up. Hotel rooms before they moved things indoors were STILL available in DC. With falling prices.

But everything is nonrefundable – so all those MAGAs who did shell out for rooms, possibly at higher prices before hotels realized people weren’t coming – are stuck with rooms in a freezing cold city with museums closed and watching on hotel TVs.

–

Amy Klobuchar was, as usual, right. Guess DonOld’s hair couldn’t handle a blizzard.

Apparently Mike Pence accepted the Congressional Committee’s invitation to Monday’s inaugural. And It IS customary for former Presidents & VPs to attend. Why do I feel strongly after Carter’s funeral that Karen Pence won’t join him?

–

Speaking of Jimmy Carter. Maybe God didn’t like his best pal Jimmy disrepected with Trump planning to raise the flags to full staff on Monday.

–

British PM for a minute Liz Truss is in DC for the inaugural.

Time for another head of lettuce challenge? IYKYK

–

Remember, GOP says that children & teens are too fragile & innocent to handle seeing drag queens, or read books that have sexual references in them.

But children brought to US as babies or young children are guilty of a crime and should be deported. Make it make sense.

At least we are moving closer to those four sweet words “pitchers and catchers report.”

–

“Rapid unscheduled disassembly”- translation “Musk’s rocket blew up.”

I like “pushed into a lifeboat” better.

–

United Airlines is moving to eliminate the option for paper boarding passes.

Anyone in the travel industry – or who has had a phone run out of charge, or who heard Jason Carter’s sweet story about his grandfather Jimmy accidentally calling him on his cellphone while trying to take a picture, knows this is a REALLY bad idea as far as on-time boarding.

–

“Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

Scheherazade told fictional stories for 1001 nights to save her life. Is that what Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos thinks he needs to do to save his tax cuts?

–

Every time Senator Coach Tubby gets up to speak he makes me think something I thought was impossible: – I miss Jeff Sessions.

Today he complained that Senate Democrats didn’t vote against any of Biden’s cabinet picks. It’s a self-own that Coach Tubby doesn’t realize. Joe picked qualified people. And in 2025, many Democrats will vote for QUALIFIED nominees they disagree with.

Although Tammy Duckworth nailed it today: Reminding us that she disagrees with Trump, but voted for Mattis & Epser, his first 2 DOD nominees.

But Pete Hegseth “only nominated because he hosted Trump’s favorite TV show on Fox News… the only things he’s ever run, he’s run into the ground.”

–

If Kamala Harris had been elected and former President Trump had passed away last month… And if Harris asked for flags to be raised on January 20… GOP would be demanding her impeachment.

–

Why all this hullabaloo over President Obama’s wife Michelle not attending the inauguration? Two of Donald’s three wives won’t be there – one because she ended up buried at a golf course.

If the US continues with these hostile moves towards taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal, even Canada, it will make Russia’s efforts to take over Ukraine and then probably Baltics & Poland etc, seem much less awful by comparison. Just as puppetmaster Putin intended.

–

President Biden tonight, acknowledging that while he felt it was in bad taste, he should have taken credit for more of his accomplishments: “I spent too much time on the policy, not enough on the politics.”

–

Jan 20 could be the coldest inauguration day in DC since 1985. Guess God and Mother Nature are working on that “hell freezing over” concept

Well, on a brighter note, at least Vikings fans won’t have to suffer a heartbreaking Super Bowl defeat this year

–

Star Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, 23, will apparently sign with either the Dodgers, Padres or Blue Jays.

So if he signs with the Dodgers how many decades ahead will they defer his salary?

–

–

True story as some MAGA insist deporting immigrants will mean more jobs that Americans will fill.

In In Costa Rica some years ago toured Dole Banana processing plant. Impressive & very fast-moving place. Someone asked “how does this work pay?” Guide laughed, “pay isn’t bad. But no Costa Rican will work here, almost everyone is an illegal immigrant from Nicaragua.”

–

Since Los Angeles really needs all the fundraisers it can get. May I suggest a pay-per-view fundraiser – “take it outside” – match between Nancy Mace and Jasmine Crockett?

–

As TDonOldpraises the Senator from Pennsylvania, Who wants to tell Trump and right wing media that John Fetterman’s wife was originally an undocumented immigrant?

–

The real reason rich white tech bros want to get rid of DEI is simple. They are more comfortable with other white men, and want to be able to hire white men who look like them. Maybe some Asians and Indians. But fewer uppity women and other minorities.

–

Had a thought. Marco Rubio is one of the saner Republicans. Did Trump nominate him for Secretary of State just to get him out of the Senate?

–

Meanwhile, Joni Ernst, who has talked and written about being both a rape and domestic violence survivor, says she now will vote to confirm Pete Hegseth.

Makes you wonder, if Trump nominated her rapist, or the military ex-husband she says was physically and emotionally abusive, would she vote to confirm him too?

–

Although Senator Tammy Duckworth was on the short list for Biden’s running mate in 2020. Americans who don’t know why should watch her with Pete Hegseth Tuesday #badass

–

The CFPB is suing Capital One for misleading consumers about their savings account interest rates and cheating them out of more than $2 billion in interest.

So uh, President Non-Elect Musk is talking about “deleting” the CFPB. He almost certainly has high-end private banking accounts all over. But how many millions of Americans rely on their savings accounts & chose carefully in hopes of making a little more in interest?

–

Finally for today the tagline for Jack Smith’s report. Bookmark this quote:

“The admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction.”

Thinking if you TRIED to kick a football off the goalposts it would be almost impossible. And how often do kickers do that? (Twice in one day.)

–

Want to know a lot of what’s wrong with sports today in one headline?

From ESPN “Eagles RB Saquon Barkley’s late slide in playoff win stymies bettors.”

(didn’t affect game. Did affect people who bet he would score a TD. )

–

Velveeta Voldemort has plenty of cult members and acolytes But one thing it must have killed him to see this week, how much Jimmy Carter was loved. Money can’t buy him love.

–

Gonna say this again and not for the last time: Does ANYONE really think we’re going to rebuild Los Angeles without immigrants? Lots of immigrants

–

JD Vance says those who committed violence on January 6 should not be pardoned. And he’s being attacked on Twitter by many MAGA Trump supporters. It’s a cult

–

Elon and Vivek now say that removing regulations could stimulate the economy and “the success of DOGE can’t be measured through deficit reduction alone.” Translation: Billionaires will be abloe to do what they want, health, safety and environmental protects be damned.

–

Imagine if President Biden tried to put strings on sending money to red states after disasters.

–

Velveeta Voldemort is ranting on social media that “They can’t put out the fires.” Meanwhile, the devastating Smokehouse Fire in Texas and Oklahoma lasted from February 26, 2024 to March 16, 2024. Didn’t hear a word from him then. I wonder why?

–

Billionaire Rick Caruso ran for Los Angeles mayor against Karen Bass. He paid for private firefighters to make sure his mall in Pacific Palisades was one of the few things that survived. Now he’s paying for thosse private firefighters to guard his personal home.

(we aren’t sure if he’s using public or private water.)

. This is the future if Velveeta Voldemort gets his way. Cut government to the bone, including services. And give billionaires more tax cuts so they can afford to take care of themselves..

And so now it’s Ohio State joining Notre Dame in the the college football championship.

Yes, the same Ohio State where Gym Jordan allegedly (per MANY wrestlers) turned a blind eye to sexual abuse of young wrestlers.

Can we call this the PEB – Predator Enablers Bowl?

–

(Between Catholic priests, Jerry Sandusky and Gym Jordan, Texas was the only university out of the four NCAA football teams in the CFB semi-finals free of scandal involving sexual abuse of young people.)

Meanwhile, the Spurs-Lakers and Hornets Clippers games scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed, while the NFL moved the Rams-VIkings game to Arizona.

Have to wonder what the NCAA would have done if one of the CFB games had been scheduled for the Rose Bowl?

–

Meanwhile now former Georgia QB Carson Beck, after a disappointing year, decided to withdraw from the NFL draft and enter the transfer portal. He immediately then said he would join the Miami Hurricanes for the 2025 season.

They don’t even pretend it’s about college anymore.

–

ICYMI After conservative Texas employers challenged the mandate, the Supreme Court will review Obamacare’s no-cost coverage of preventive medicine measures.

So likely we can forget free vaccines, mammograms, blood tests & statins. Not just birth control. Pro life my ass.

Meanwhile as Trump’s choice for HHS is anti-vaccine and anti-medical science. . San Francisco just reported its first case of bird flu in a human.

–

So now Texas GOP wants to ban abortion pills through the mail to cut down on abortion.

Iit would stop a lot more abortions if they ban mail-order Viagra. Without ED drugs many men can’t get a woman pregnant.

(Five words: Damn I miss Molly Ivins)

–

As Meta ends DEI program anyone who is shocked should rewatch “The Social Network.”

–

Fox and other Right wing media are trying to look for every program in Los Angeles county that was funded they deem “wow” in an effort to blame the fires on liberals.

So I assume they will also start attacking all of DonOld’s petty revenge missions that will take taxpayer dollars away from programs that benefit the working class?

–

If a picture says a thousand words.

–

So as some in MAGA / GOP claim now that many of their hateful actions are simply because they are all about protecting children from potential abuse – assume they boycotted tonight’s Notre Dame – Penn State game?

And on Orange Bowl night, it was announced, former orange juice promoter Anita Bryant, anti-gay rights activist and singer,is dead at 84

If you can’t say anything nice about someone…. So, no comment

–

Lawrence O’Donnell brilliant tonight. Talking about hurricane force Santa Ana winds – 100 mph. And making comparison to 9-11. Firefighters had same chance of extinguishing Palisades fire on Tuesday as they did of putting out a fire on 100th floor of the World Trade Center.

–

GOP is making one thing clear. If you are a young woman killed by an immigrant, you will become a cause. If you are killed protecting students in a school schooting, or in any mass shooting, or from not getting emergency reproductive care, your life didn’t matter at all.

–

Supreme Court Justice Alito said when he talked to Trump they didn’t discuss legal cases. Did DonOld discuss selling him that bridge he owns in Brooklyn?

–

I don’t say this often, but thank you John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett. I guess for them there is an answer to “how low can you go?”

–

Hey, DonOld.

Who doesn’t want to be states? Greenland and Canada.

Who DOES want to be states? Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia

Sincerely, Americans tired of insanity.-

–

Way too soon to start thinking about exactly when and how Los Angeles rebuilds. One thing for sure though. Rebuilding won’t happen without LOTS of immigrants.

–

Think it’s good for Senators to reach for common ground when they can.

But as John Fetterman heads to Mar-A-Lago, remember this from his OWN website about his wife. “Born in Brazil, Gisele’s mother took her & brother to US when she was 7, all of them undocumented immigrants.”

Remember, with all the outrage over Velveeta Voldemort’s American imperialism idiocy, we’re spending less time being outraged about some of his most dangerous cabinet appointees.

–

Finally, Jimmy Carter wrote 32 books. That’s more books than Velveeta Voldemort probably has read.

–

We can rank Presidents and their lives in a number of ways. But in my lifetime, there has never been a US President who became loved ,for what he did his entire life, as much as Jimmy Carter.

The Rose Bowl insisted on staying on New Year’s Day, even if it means giving up semi-final spot in the College Football Playoffs.

Imagine the NCAA had “won” and convinced them to move the game to Jan 9, tomorrow.

–

–

Can we get bipartisan agreement that anyone caught looting during the Southern California wildfires should be sentenced to community service fighting these wildfires? Immediately. Armed with just a bucket of water

–

Can anyone imagine President Biden attacking the Governor of Florida just after a major hurricane for allowing buildings not up to code or too close to the water? We’re going to miss having a President.

–

So as DonOld is in DC threatening GOP Senators with heaven knows what if they don’t approve his nominees, thinking any parent who has ever has a toddler knows what happens when you start trying to placate their tantrum by giving in to the first one.

Trump called his son Don Jr’s visit to Greenland “a love fest.” He called January 6 a “day of love.”

When doesn’t hee doesn’t talk about love? Talking about his children or wife

–

So IF US tried to take Panama Canal back, and if it either sparked an actual war, or at the very least violent uprisings, which chicken hawk GOP member of Congress will be first to volunteer their kids or grandkids for the front lines? Or even give up tax cuts to pay for it?

–

–

Laken Riley’s murder was awful.

Her killer with several prior arrests, shouldn’t have been free.

New GOP congress immediately passed bill requiring ICE to take custody of undocumented immigrants for minor crimes. 1

2 yrs later, we haven’t done a thing for 20 children and 6 adults murdered at Sandy Hook.
