Hoops and rings

February 16, 2026

The real MVP of today’s NBA All-Star game(s) Sunday – Victor Wembanyama. Because Wemby decided to show up and play hard, everyone played hard.

Also at the NBA All-Star Game, Barack Obama, sitting courtside, not in a suite, caught a ball that flew out of bounds and was heading towards Michelle.

How cool is this?

Can anyone imagine the current inhabitant of the White House:

  1. – catching the ball? 2. Trying to protect his wife?

I miss President Obama.

And the current inhabitant of the White House, while he’s attacked those he perceives as having criticized HIM, hasn’t yet congratulated a single USA Olympic medalist.

Although on a nonpolitical Olympics thought, my friend Marc Ragovin – A Norwegian biathlete who won a bronze medal admitted to cheating on his girlfriend in a post-event interview.  

Making him the first biathlete to shoot himself in the foot.  

Trump pardoned five former NFL players for crimes including drug trafficking.


Meanwhile another U.S. military strike blew up a boat and killed three people allegedly for drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea on Friday. When you’re an NFL star (or a big donor) they let you do it?

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sums up Trump’s petty behavior on the Governor’s dinner perfectly.


“He has taken annual bipartisan tradition & he’s turned it into his own 12-year-old birthday party, where he’s going to invite some people & not invite others. “Everybody but Billy is invited”

So many guesses as to why Trump prioritized terrorizing Minneapolis.

It could be as simple as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz calling Donald “Weird.”

Minnesota Star Tribune reports -At least 5 Minnesota shootings in which initial descriptions by ICE were later contradicted by video evidence…

How many shootings & injuries happened without video evidence?
