Making appearances

August 20, 2026

Rangers’ Jacob deGrom tonight became 2nd fastest to 2,000 strikeouts

1660 innings over 272 starts since his MLB debut in 2014

So average about 130 innings a year.

DeGrom is an incredible talent. Bug closer Kelsey Jansen and set-up man Tyler Rogers together have almost that many innings (1545) between them in that time.

Wonder what the record for trips to the IL is for a pitcher?

Fox News website has TWO front page stories today on Sophie Cunningham
Went to see what they have on WNBA otherwise.

No joke. They don’t even list WNBA as a sport. Though they have UFC and WWE

Trump -endorsed Mike Lindell, also an election denier, says he will pay for recount in GOP Minnesota primary

Lisa Demuth beat Lindell 179,683 to 134,282!

Now that Demuth is GOP candidate for Governor will she stand up for her state against Lindell & Trump, & say MN elections are fair?

It’s not getting enough attention that under Donald Trump the United States is not only being dismissed by many of our allies, it’s that we are now being dismissed as unimportant even by North Korea.

Fox News headline

“Alina Habba shuts down speculation she could replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary.”

Translation.

  1. She knew she wouldn’t be asked?
  2. She’s only 42, and trying not to ruin her professional career so young.

Apparently United Methodist Pastor Adam Hamilton is making his US Senate race against incumbent Roger Marshall in Kansas close.

All Senate seats count equally. Why doesn’t media spend a bit less time deluging us with coverage of Michigan race and tell us more about Kansas?

Remember John McCain when he ran for President in 2007 singing (maybe jokingly) “bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,”

Followed Trump’s campaign closely. NEVER heard him once talking about attacking Iran.

Pretty sure no one voted for him to do it.

Americans just wanted lower prices.

ICYMI, still time to catch Rosie O’Donnell as Jimmy Kimmel’s guest host this week. “To those of you watching at home & from White Houee. But I ‘ve got some bad news for President Teddy Roosevelt. That’s all I’m going to say about you tonight sweetheart You’ve got to realize it’s time to hang up your wig & let Natalie tuck you in”

Small example from a wave of lies.

A Minnesota Republican blocked me on Twitter so I can’t respond to his lie.

He claims Amy Klobuchar was AWOL from Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on fraud.

Except it was Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights

There are 7 subcommittees, Senators are on 4, but not that one.
