Total eclipse of the mind..

February 3, 2026

Daily Mail with the comedy line of the day

“Turning Point USA announces star-studded lineup for its rival Super Bowl halftime show after Bad Bunny backlash.”

“Star-studded?””

TPUSA show will include Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.

Washingtonian magazine today on the Kennedy Center closing “The center is among the many local landmarks Trump plans to put his characteristic stamp on. One hopes Dulles won’t have to close as well.”

This would be funnier if it didn’t seem so possible.

Seizing ballots in Georgia, getting a whistleblower complaint against her so bad it can’t even be unsealed…?

So who knew Tulsi Gabbard might end up doing something awful?

Except everybody.

They’re figuring it out?

White woman who owns a restaurant in West VIrginia interviewed on MSNow saying “Yes, ICE should be going after criminals, but not chasing line cooks down the street.”

Donald Trump keeps insisting he won Minnesota 3 times.

He LOST Minnesota 3 times. Solidly.

Minnesota also has 3 Congressional Republicans who won their seats. It wasn’t a Democratic juggernaut. (Although Amy Klobuchar won 12 districts Donald won.)

Is he deluded or lying?

Thinking Trump hires “the worst of the worst” on purpose.

He knows that most of them couldn’t get jobs in any other administration, and at this point, maybe anywhere in the US in future..

So job security (and increasingly, staying out of prison) keeps them loyal.


Trump this morning “Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” How many times has Speaker Johnson said he didn’t hear that yet?

And tonight he’s ranting about a Harvard story in the NY Times and claiming he has the best poll numbers in history

He’s not just sundowning. It’s a total eclipse of his mind…

Not up in the air

Hard to feel sorry for pro athletes making big money.


But San Antonio Spurs had yesterday’s 2p game in Charlotte moved up 11a in hopes of beating the bomb cyclone. Didn’t work. Team still sat on plane for 2 hrs before it was cancelled.

So they rescheduled for this morning, had the flight to San Antonio diverted to Atlanta for a mechanical issue. Finally made it back about 4p, (And had their game start time vs Orlando delayed twice, from 3p to 6p to 8pm.)

Even chartered planes are no match for Mother Nature

So is there ANYTHING Donald won’t destroy or tear down to feed his monstrous ego? We’ve elected a Trumpzilla. #KennedyCenter

So since Bad Bunny won the top award tonight, how long until Donald Trump tries to shut the Grammys down?

So MAGA, admittedly I didn’t hear all his speeches but I missed Trump’s promise “vote for me and I’ll shut down the Kennedy Center for two years…”

“Melania” received an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite scoring 99% with the site’s “verified audience.”

They’re saying the people who actually saw the documentary liked it?

Both of them?


So how long do theaters who have agreed to show the Melania movie have to keep it on screen before they pull it?

Would love to see the number of Americans who streamed or watched Catherine O’Hara movies and shows this weekend compared to those seeing the Melania movie.

Getting all kinds of ads and offers to resubscribe to the Washington Post. At the same time the paper is reportedly gutting its staff. Hard pass.

Haven’t given up on the NY Times yet, but even in California, besides our local SF Chronicle, my newspaper money is much better spent on the Minnesota Star Tribune.

On SNL Cold Open last night on ICE Tom Homan asks “What have you learned? An ICE agent responds Maybe I’ve got this wrong but ..you hired a bunch of angry aggressive guys, gave us guns and didn’t train us so maybe this is what you wanted to happen?”

Florida Surgeon General on ending vaccine requirements for kids in school

“Who am I to tell you what to put in your body?”

So Joseph Ladapo is endorsing women’s right to take the abortion pill. Got it. #Smallmercies
