Slouching towards September…

August 21, 2025

Juan Soto says he believers the Mets are “100%” a playoff team.

He’s probably right. Because the NL currently has only SEVEN teams over .500

Stanford plays Hawaii on Saturday in both teams’ college football opener.

The game is scheduled for 130p Hawaii Standard Time, 730p on the East Coast. Might be one of the few game East Coast Cardinal fans might be able to stay up late enough to see. (Many games will start in California at 730p-8p)

Serious point. Many MLB players are black or Latino. In many cases English is not their first language. Washington Nationals have about 6 weeks of home games left in DC.

Will players soon be told to stay home/in hotel rooms except for games, rather than risk being detained/ attacked by ICE on the street?

Gavin Newsom, talking about how Donald is creating a private army -$175 billion in bill for ICE, homeland security…

“He’s trying to rig elections, set up conditions to claim elections not won fair & square. Open your eyes to what is going on in United States of America in 2025.'”

Something that isn’t reported on enough. Unlike previous Presidents of both parties, Velveeta Voldemort doesn’t even go out to dinner in DC now that his hotel is closed.


Listening to Trump and his minions throwing out dishonest statistics on a regular basis, have to wonder how they decide on the numbers? Does Velveeta Voldemort throw ketchup bottles at a dart board?

GOP claimed to hate deficits, until they could increase them w/ billionaire tax cut.

GOP demanded Epstein files, untll Trump was named in them.

GOP supported Texas insane gerrymandering, until California retaliated with same tactics.

Almost as if GOP has no real principles.

But really, has a single Republican explained why they support Texas gerrymandering redistricting but not California’s retaliating? I’ll wait.

It’s official. California’s special election is ON for November 4th. The People of California will be able to cast their vote for a Congressional map.


California is letting our citizens decide. Texas doesn’t trust their citizens.

First it’s Bed Bath and Beyond, how long untll K-Mart says they won’t open new stores in California either?

Actual Donald quote from today

We are going to be regrassing your parks, new sprinklers systems. It will look like Trump national golf club.  Grass has a life. You know that? Grass has a life. We have a life, and grass has a life. The grass here died about 40 years ago

GOP now pushing “a driver who cannot sufficiently read or speak English is unqualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in America.” But one can be president?!!

Is there ANYTHING Trump won’t do to distract from the fact that his name is in the Epstein files?

Slow down..

August 21, 2025

Meanwhile in Washington DC, NY Met (sigh) Tyler Rogers version of an immaculate inning.

Six pitches, all strikes, 83-86 MPH except for one 74 MPH slider. Three outs.

Don’t tell ICE, thinking most MLB hitters would say him being that effective throwing junk should be illegal.

SI.Com actually has this headline “College Football Preseason Bowl Projections.”

And if you care, you just might have too much time on your hands.

WTAF? Jeanine Pirro has announced she that Washington DC will no longer consider it a felony for civilians to carry shotguns and rifles in the city.

Allowing average people to carry guns in DC in a hot humid summer, when the city is full of National Guard… What could possibly go wrong.

(FWIW, many believe D.C.’s strict gun laws may have deterred some January 6 rioters from bringing firearms to the Capitol that day,

Jack White of “”Seven Nation Army” (yes, I don’t know their music either) called Trump’s Oval Office “gaudy” & “vulgar,” Trump Communication director Steven Cheung:

“Jack White is washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media; He has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.” Doesn’t that describe most PRO Trump celebrities?


Your reminder that for all Velveeta Voldemort and ICE Barbie claim that immigrants are freeloading off of hard working Americans, most of ICE arrests are of people when they are at WORK!!

Today’s effort for Trump to distract from skyrocketing inflation & Epstein files is trying to get rid of exhibits about slavery at Smithsonian. But he doesn’t have authority over Smithsonian. Congress does. Can’t wait to see GOP members of Congress defend slavery.

Dana Bash on CNN gives GOP Rep Tim Burchett platform to spout lies about DC being a cesspool… And probably won’t get much attention but Burchett used his time also to claim government was wrong about Lee Harvey Oswald being the only person who shot JFK in Dallas. It’s a cult.

Remember when Trump was trying to suppress COVID cases;”I like the numbers being where they are?” And when he fired BLS leader for numbers he didn’t like?

Now he claims Democratic cities lying about decreasing crime rates. Every accusation is a confession. #CookingTheBooks

With all the across the board inflation right now, not getting major headlines how bad beef prices are. Not like Americans like their steaks or hamburgers…

Did not have radioactive Walmart shrimp on my bingo card….

Louisiana, Tennessee & Ohio, all sending National Guard troops to DC. New Orleans, Memphis & Cleveland are regularly listed in most dangerous cities in US. Sure would be nice if GOP Governors actually cared less about pleasing Trump & more about protecting their OWN residents.

Every day there’s another outrageous stunt from Velveeta Voldemort… All of them have one thing in common. Donald is trying to distract us from the Epstein files. What’s he going to try tomorrow?
