Wins and a big loss

August 26, 2026

Two starting pitchers injured in two days.

Butt the Sacramento Rivercats wearing SF Giants uniforms have won their first series in recent memory

ICYMI, SEC just joined Big Ten in passing rule unanimously opposing athletes leaving NFL & returning to college teams.
When professional sports leagues deal with REAL issues they fix them.
Whatever Fox News and GOP want to claim, transgender women aren’t playing in the WNBA

One of of my favorite Dolly Parton lines.

“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.”

Never paid much attention to Jelly Roll But he had one of best lines of the week subbing for Jimmy Kimmel “Any US President should be able to handle a few jokes. But he also should be able to handle gas prices, healthcare and the occasional international conflict.”

Perhaps should be getting more attention that the Wall Street Journal increasingly appears to be done with Trump.

Today a really negative article on his decision to start the Iran war.

And my money’s on the WSJ surviving a lot longer than he does.

Media keeps calling her Darline Graham

Until Lindsey died she was Darline Graham Nordone.

So she would NOT have been able to vote under the SAVE Act she champions without reregistering to vote with a passport etc.

Something not all S. Carolina women voters could afford.

Darline Graham: Government run health care…. bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs it all. I have a different background. My parents worked long, hard hours. If that were sick, they had to get up and go to work. My mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later.”

So “Vote for me and you won’t have to take care of your elderly parents because they will die young?”


Amy Klobuchar has been posting about on a 9-county rural economy tour in Minnesota & talking about her plans as Governor.

Some fun stories, often incluiding meeting residents who have never seen a Senator.

What’s national media covering? Mike Lindell backing out of paying for a recount. Why it matters? Because this contributes to voters’ “politicians are bad/useless” mentality.

Finally, not my idea

But let’s make September 25 Dolly Parton Day
