House money

What the Spurs are playing with against the OKC Thunder in Game 7

So yeah, whatever happens been a great ride for San Antonio.

Doesn’t mean fans don’t want the ride to continue

Stats aren’t everything.

But when the Colorado Rockies had 5 home runs in their last 9 games

And then three tonight against the SF Giants. Including 2 in a five run walkoff ninth.

Sometimes they say enough.

Yeah, he’s smart.

James Talarico will suspend campaign operations Saturday for game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

“Are y’all ready to beat Ken Paxton? Are y’all ready to beat OKC!?”

Meanwhile, so let me see if I get this Texas Senate race straight

Former Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was indicted on 20 counts by a GOP-led House committee.

And James Talarico ate a potato egg and cheese taco.


Love that someone on the MAGA Freedom 250 committee clearly heard that Martina McBride sang “Independence Day” and didn’t realize it was about a woman finding a rather extreme solution to dealing with an abusive man.

Jose Andres interviewed at his new Zaytinya restaurant in Palo Alto, CA, on investing in wellbeing of the voiceless & poor. “Life is like a lottery. Some are born with the winning numbers, & others don’t even have access to the lottery ticket.” Love this man.

Another thing Moron MarkWayne Mullin hasn’t thought about.

Flights from Ireland pre-clear US customs IN Ireland, at Shannon & Dublin Airports. So passengers arrive as if on a domestic flight. And Aer Lingus has nonstops to SFO, LAX, JFK…

So his insane plan wouldn’t matter.

(For that matter Canada and Abu Dhabi have pre-clearance too to the USA)

Not so old men

May 29, 2026

Not only would most of the spurs, except Wemby, be carded trying to buy a beer, two of them, Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, both 20, actually aren’t old enough to buy a drink in the US

How young is San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson?

He was a four-year point guard at Stanford.

Two of his teammates? Robin and Brook Lopez

(Brook is still playing for the Clippers.)

Meanwhile you know it’s been a tough year when as an SF Giants fan who was otherwise occupied Thursday to be able to think “okay the team absolutely won’t let fans down tonight.)

Giants had an off day


Listing Milli Vanilli, a group who ended up admitting they didn’t actually sing on their records, and one of whose members is now dead, as performers for Freedom 250, is one of the most on brand things Trump has done.

Almost all his Freedom 250 performers have dropped out.

So for retribution is Trump going to outlaw music now?

She was one of the later to withdraw, citing not being told that it was a partisan event. But can anyone imagine Trump listening to Martina McBride singing her hit about an abused woman setting the house on fire with her husband in it?

“Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day”

How long until the Freedom 250 headliners come down to Kid Rock and Lara Trump?

So Tuesday night, Ken Paxton got 885,949 GOP US Senate primary votes.

Just putting these numbers from the Democratic US Senate primary out there James Talarico -1,103,371 Jasmine Crockett – 943,168

Night one watching Jimmy Kimmel (and the late night ABC local news instead of CBS)

So far so good.

This line – “Donald put the ‘me’ in Memorial Day.”

Scott Bessent, justifying the $1.776 Billion Trump Slush fund says “no American should be targeted for political reasons.”

Thinking today that it’s hard to remember most of the cabinet in Trump’s first term.

Because they mostly weren’t attention whores and batsh*t crazy.

CBS News has become an oxymoron.

Night one watching Jimmy Kimmel (and the late night ABC local news instead of CBS)

So far so good.

This line – “Donald put the ‘me’ in Memorial Day.”

So if Donald has 100% approval ratings or whatever he claims why has almost every performer listed for his Great American State Fair dropped out?

Open note to MAGA trolls who say it’s fine if Trump goes to public sporting events because they have security.

Have they been to sporting events vs secure areas in DC?

Yeah, they check you going into a game. But NOTHING like the Senate galleries, for starters. Where they take everything. Even doublechecked my watch to make sure it did nothing but tell time.

Has Trump blamed Romania for being hit by a Russian drone yet?

Now Donald claims it’s going to be “the most successful World Cup they have ever had.”

Because they gave him a trophy.

It is going to be an economic disaster for hotels and perhaps for cities hosting the games.

Jimmy Kimmel last night

“Trump’s approval rating among Americans is down to 37%. But in that Cabinet room it’s about 110%.”

If Kimmel is wrong it’s that he’s underestimating the 110%.
