The odds are bad…

September 19, 2026


As the gambling case of former Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase’s trial is set to start in November, apparently federal prosecutors are focusing on 18 allegedly rigged pitches, including one from a 2024 playoff game.

Will trial coverage be brought to us by Draft Kings?

Fox News website headline today “Former ESPN anchor under fire for racism accusations aimed at Caitlin Clark fans.”

If only they could do something novel, like actually cover WNBA games?

Wonder how many Fox viewers knew about FIBA World Cup, or that playoffs start soon, etc…

(For what it’s worth, I’m a fan of Caitlin Clark. I’m also a fan of A’ja Wilson and the Aces in general. )

GOP spent most of 2024 claiming Democrats cared more about cultural & social issues than economic issues.

Now that prices are through the roof, and getting worse, GOP is trying to convince Americans they should forget the economy and concentrate on cultural & social issues.

So how long until Donald Trump starts offering interest-free loans for Americans to fill up their gas tanks?

A serious question.

Trump is increasingly falling asleep in public.

Fox News has never covered it.

Is he trying to ban CNN, Politico and MS Now because his doctors have told him he’s getting worse and/or that he is also likely to fall in public and he doesn’t want it covered?

Listening to the Secretary of Homeland Security talking to Dana Bash on CNN…

Markwayne Mullen was a strong contender for stupidest person in the Senate.

Now he’s a frontrunner for stupidest person in Trump’s cabinet.

Meanwhile, in Texas, so Ken Paxton apparently left land in Maui off his financial disclosures.

To be fair, I guess if you have 15 separate properties it’s easy to lose track.

Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home until after the midterms.

Under his leadership, or lack thereof, our U.S. taxpayer paid Representatives don’t work enough to fulfill proposed GOP work requirements for Medicaid.

Actual Fox News headline:

“Black smoke rises after ‘airborne attack’ hits key US partner in new flashpoint.”

A jet fuel facility at Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia was hit.

Wait, I thought Iran’s military was destroyed.

This is so confusing…

And Trump said on September 16. “Wait, Trump yesterday said “the war is going to end very soon.”

Leaving aside didn’t he just call it not a war but a “conflict?”

Many things he says don’t age well, this may be up there at the top/bottom
