Nothing is certain but death, taxes, and NEVER turn off an Indiana Pacers playoff game in the fourth quarter.

–

As a #Saints fan remember when New Orleans was robbed of a Super Bowl berth & then wanting the Rams and Patriots somehow to both lose. Watching Trump v. Musk is kind of like that.

–

SF Giants are undefeated in the Dom Smith – Daniel Jackson era.

–

Maybe Robbie Ray needs to be behind in a game for the SF Giants offense to wake up?

–

Velveeta Voldemort talks about how he’s made the Oval Office so much more beautiful than it was six months ago… If your idea of beauty is an expensive whorehouse.

.Donald Trump and Elon Musk are so at each other’s throats now you’d think they were once married to each other.

–

-Congratulations to all those who had June 5 in the Donald-Elon divorce pool.

–

Meanwhile Fox News doing their best to sanewash today. “Trump says he ‘asked Musk to leave’ as billionaire makes shocking allegation.” Musk fires back after Trump says he’s ‘very disappointed’ with the Tesla founder.”

–

Hey Republican Senators: Vote against the bill and you p*ss off Donald. Vote for the bill and you p*ss off billionaire Elon. So since you are hosed either way, why not just do the right thing and vote against what Amy Klobuchar correctly calls a “Big Beautiful Betrayal?

–

Can anyone imagine a President Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobuchar bringing the Elon Musk sideshow into the White House, let alone having a messy breakup on social media? But tell me again how women are too emotional to be President?

Overheard on ESPN “The NY Knicks played with a sense of urgency tonight.”

Uh, when you are down 3-1 in a best of 7 series, do any teams NOT play with a sense of urgency?

–

Does ANYONE want to see their favorite NFL players play flag football in the Olympics?

(Assuming most of the world still comes to the LA Olympics?)

–

Fox News reports that Kash Patel says “Comey’s ’86 47′ post caused FBI to redirect critical resources.” Fixed it for him. “Comey’s 8647 gave Donold a useful distraction he could use to divert attention from the awful things he is doing to this country.”

–

–

GOP plans to hold Senate Judiciary hearing June 18 to look into alleged cover-up of 82-year-old Joe Biden’s decline. The chair of the Senate Judiciary committee? Chuck Grassley. Age 91. You can’t make this stuff up

–

Okay, which Washington DC restaurant is going to have the best Orange TACO special this weekend?

–

Now rumblings that Donald is not thrilled with the 13 year old used plane he asked Qatar for…

Well, DUH. Ask any travel agent. Qatar Airways prides itself on a modern new fleet. The current widebodies they fly -A350s, A380s, 777s, 787s, are all much nicer and newer than the junk plane they offered Trump

–

So on his way out the door would Elon Musk like to send an email of five things he accomplished each week?

So will Justin Verlander’s first win with the San Francisco Giants be in the postseason? I could live with that #SFGiants

–

Phillies closer Jose Alvarado suspended 80 games for positive drug test. Whatever in today’s culture could make a public figure think he could get away with anything?

–

Two thoughts on flag football in the 2028 Olympics.

1. Who will be the first NFL player to injure themselves playing flag football 2. How long until Donald Trump says he was the best flag football player ever and would compete in the Olympics if he wasn’t busy?

–

It’s clear to anyone watching Velveeta Voldemort that besides the usual malevolent narcissism, at 79, he is definitely losing it. So of course media has to make headlines about Biden. Today’s media would both sides a mobius strip

–

If GOP is going to subpoena Joe Biden’s physican over his clean bill of health, can Dems also subpoena Donald Trump’s physician just over his height, weight and cognitive test?

GOP saying now that Democrats are lying & fear mongering in saying how much their “big beautiful bill” will hurt most Americans, is the same GOP that insisted Democrats were lying and fear mongering about them implementing Project 2025.

–

Trump says China will pay the tariffs. Then Trump says Walmart should “EAT THE TARIFFS.” Make it make sense.

–

Trump bashed the Kennedy Center today, saying they’d had DEI, and “queer” and inappropriate shows…. And one of the musicals Donald is boasting about having is Moulin Rouge?!!! So Velveeta Voldemort either hasn’t seen the show or doesn’t remember it.

–

So DOJ is CHARGING Congresswoman Rose McIver following scuffle with federal immigrant agents.

At same time DOJ will pay millions to Ashli Babbitt’s family after she was shot trying to break into US Capitol & attack members of Congress. Very white of them

–

Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen to Marco Rubio: “I’m not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration’s destruction of US global leadership. I’m simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family … I don’t recognize Secretary Rubio … I know you know this in your heart.”

–

He says Biden has stage 9 cancer? And as if anyone could do a prostate exam on Donald. How could any Doctor insert a finger when there are so many GOP members of Congress in the way already?

So are CNN people being told to sell out their journalistic standards to hawk Tapper’s book, or are they doing it on their own?

–

Noticing media pattern. Push Democrats on 2020 election, in hopes of getting response like “in retrospect maybe”.” or “Hindsight is 20-20.” Yes, in retrospect election didn’t go our way. Acknowledging it isn’t attacking Biden or Harris. But media wants to make attacks the story.

For all the NBA’s perceived and perhaps actual bias towards big market teams it is not out of the realm of possibility we are looking at an Oklahoma City- (or Minneapolis) vs Indiana NBA final.

ESPN must be thrilled. Thoughts and prayers.

–

I disagree with Amy Coney Barrett on many if not most things. But have to think that somewhere this morning RBG is smiling a little

–

Amy Coney Barrett is anti-reproductive choice, voted to overturn Roe vs Wade, and would overturn Obamacare. And yet, because Amy shows signs of not being a full-fledged Trump cult member, Twitter Trolls are calling her a “leftist plant.”

–

Wonder if Sean Duffy asks him nicely if Pete Buttigieg would come back for a while as acting Secretary of Transportation?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill making Florida the 2nd state to ban fluoride from its water system

Deathsantis says “there are other ways people can get fluoride.” Sure, if they have money.

Republicans hate poor people -including poor children.

–

Now Trump in a speech says “when Hitler made his speech at the Eiffel Tower..” How long until Velveeta Voldemort asks “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

–

One of the worst things about MAGA’s disdain for education is that there are Trump supporters who will now really believe Hitler did give a speech at the Eiffel Tower.

–

Other than the usual racism, there’s another reason Donald might be considering pardoning Derek Chauvin. Velveeta Voldemort WANTS riots. He is desperate to invoke the Insurrection Act.

–

Qatar plane is expensive distraction from cuts to Medicaid and other social programs. But it’s not just nearly $1 billion it would cost to turn it into Air Force One, it’s hundreds of millions it would take to turn it back into a civilian plane How many Americans would that feed?

–

Qatar PM – “the Trump plane would be ‘coming out of love.'” A bible verse seems apt, including for fhe so-called MAGA Christians 1 Timothy 6:10. “For the love of money is a root of all evil.”

–

Beginnning to wonder, Jake Tapper clearly started work on his Biden bashing book before the 2024 election, which he covered on CNN. How much did Tapper deliberately slam Joe in 2024 in hopes of making his book a best-seller?

–

Now Trump’s DHS wants 20,000 National Guard Troops for their immigration crackdown. Why am I getting Kent State vibes?

64-18 and Cleveland Cavaliers are out in the 2nd round.

Of course in 2016, The Cavs upset the 73-9 Warriors in the Finals.

This year looking like both teams can replay their Finals matchup, in a video game.

–

During a four game losing streak, the SF Giants scored 9 runs, 6 in a 7-6 10 inning loss. They scored one run in each of the other three games. Tonight they scored 10 runs.

Sometimes baseball is just stupid.

–

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred took Pete Rose off the permanently ineligible list. If Charlie Hustle were still alive thinking Trump would put him in his administration.

–

Remember when most Americans (and most pro-golfers) distanced themselves from the LIV Golf Tour? Donald is turning it into the LIV White House.

–

Trump actually just said “U.S. has no greater partner than” Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Bin Salman. A rich leader who doesn’t allow dissent and murders journalists – Velveeta Voldemort’s kind of role model.

–

Scott Jennings is the worst human on CNN. But Jake Tapper is quickly giving Scott a run for his mone

–

Has anyone asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott about the Joe Biden potential wheelchair allegations?

–

NY Times line under this headline “In High-Stakes Negotiations, Trump’s Opponents Are Learning His Patterns” “President Trump often takes maximalist positions, only to back down & declare a win. His opponents are catching on.” His opponents are catching on. Too bad media isn’t.

–

Not making this up. Fox News finally covering the plane story. And their counter attack on Democrats. “House Democrats went on US-Qatar business sponsored trip to Qatar in 2021 and accepted RIDES ON CAMELS!! ” (Which these days costs about $50 a person.)

So at this point in the second round of the playoffs, neither #1 NBA seed is looking invincible – and the conference championships might not have even a #2 seed in them.

That year when the NCAA seedings might be more accurate than the NBA?

–

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks who trade their superstar Luka away for nothing to the Los Angeles Lakers, suddenly end up – with a 1.8% chance -getting the #1 pick in Cooper Flagg.

Well this should do wonders for those who think the NBA is rigged.

–

Back to back rookies of the year. And now with #2 pick in the NBA draft, a chance for a three-repeat. So they’re not in the playoffs, but it’s a really fun time to be a San Antonio Spurs fan.

–

Wonder how many Dallas Mavericks fans who cancelled their 2025-26 season tickets when the Mavs traded Luka Dončić are suddenly calling to see about getting them back. #NBADraftLottery

–

NY Times headline “Trump’s Plan to Accept Luxury Jet From Qatar Strains Bounds of Propriety.” “Strains Bounds of Propriety?”

–

Fixed it for you NY Times: “Trump’s Plan to Accept Luxury Jet From Qatar Shoots Emoluments Class in Plane Sight.”

–

GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune is upset Democrats delaying confirmation of what he calls non-controversial nominees & calls on them to end ‘obstruction.’ Funny, Thune didn’t have problems when Coach Tubby was holding up all military promotions to protest abortion rights.

–

Media should pay more attention to Amy Klobuchar’s explanation of much of Trump’s insanity. It’s DISTRACTION. “Habeas corpus” issue brought up to distract from economy… As are many of his craziest threats. Media takes bait every time.

So Donald has been lying and claiming that he will pay for his tax cuts by all the tariff money he will bring in. Now he just caved to China on tariffs. No wonder MAGA hates math. They’re really bad at it.

–

The only thing I believe that Velveeta Voldemort has said is ‘I’ll be a dictator on day one.” Then Donald got Speaker Mike Johnson for legislative purposes basically to declare the whole year one long day

–

Pope Leo XIV calls for Gaza ceasefire & peace in Ukraine ‘no more war’ in 1st Sunday message. To quote a friend “suddenly we have (highly intelligent) American in office with a global megaphone and a cosmopolitan, justice oriented worldview. NOBODY saw that coming 72 hours ago.”

–

Trump wants DHS to add at least 20,000 officers to enforce his deportation policies “by deputizing & contracting w/ state & local law enforcement officers, personnel w/ other federal agencies & OTHER INDIVIDUALS?” Velveeta Voldmort is going to hire many convicted January 6 insurrectionists isn’t he?

–

Just gonna leave this right here. “Some of the 400 jobs that were cut at the FAA helped support air safety, a union says”

Not just flying, FAA also holds primary responsibility for safety & certification of airport operations Last week, 2 United 777s backed into each other at SFO; both flights canceled. In Charlotte, catering truck hit an American plane, taking it out of service. Are we great yet?

–

Trump wants DHS to add at least 20,000 officers to enforce deportation policies “by deputizing & contracting w/ state & local law enforcement officers, personnel w/ other federal agencies & OTHER INDIVIDUALS?” He’s going to hire many convicted Jan 6 insurrectionists isn’t he?

San Diego Padres 21- Colorado Rockies 0.

Through 39 games the Rockies have a -134 run differential.

–

Two teams, the Athletics and Rays, are playing this year in minor league stadiums.

Think it’s time to admit that at Coors Field we have a minor league team playing in a major league stadium

–

From a friend -“This stuff about ‘Cubs fan or White Sox fan’ is silly. He’s the Pope. He’s obviously a Cardinals and Saints fan.

–

As the anti-refugee Trump administration suddenly allows 60 white South African refugees to come to the United States next week – at taxpayer expense….Karoline Leavitt claims ‘
“This group in South Africa has faced racial persecution.”

Can anyone in this administration spell “apartheid” let alone explain it?

–

Sally Quinn writing in NY Times. “The hallmark of this administration is cruelty and sadism, vengefulness carried out with glee. Mr. Musk said it best: “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” Wish I could say she was wrong

–

TRUMP signed deal to remove all US troops & reduced numbers by 1/2. Donald blames Biden for Afghanistan deaths as actual withdrawal happened during his Presidency. Now Air Traffic Control system failing on Donald’s watch & he insists it’s Biden’s fault. All blame, all the time.

–

RIP former SCOTUS judge David Souter. The best appointment George H. W. Bush ever made. Too much to hope that Amy Coney Barrett could follow in his footsteps?

In 2024, FAA Reauthorization Act passed including Traffic Controllers Hiring Act of 2023, from Sens Braun, Klobuchar, Marshall, Shaheen, Lujan & Boozman. (3 GOP, 3 Dems) But in Jan 2025, Donald froze hiring of Air Traffic Controllers. Now they’re trying to say “never mind.”

–

Apparently Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will be married on a private island in Venice.

But tell me again how billionaires need a tax cut?

–

Shingles vaccine apparently reduces the risk of heart disease AND dementia.

MAGA anti-vaxxers really are dying to own the libs.
