Tyler Rogers pitches a scoreless 1 1/3 inning, but Ryan Helsley, also acquired at the trade deadline, gives up two runs in 8th as reeling NY Mets blow a 3-2 lead to lose 4-3 to Braves. Sometimes with these late-inning collapses, Tyler has to figure he’s back with SF Giants.

–

Who says there are no good news headlines these days? “Ohtani pitches into 5th but Dodgers swept, now 2nd in NL West”

–

In Washington D.C for a few days. Are these now going to be regulated like gun stores?

–

So let me get this straight. The gospel according to Trump DOJ

Attacking U.S. Capitol police with poles, tasers and bear spray gets you a Presidential pardon.

Throwing a Subway sandwich at an officer gets you charged with a felony.

–

Man who threw a Subway sandwich at officer in DC has been charged with a felony. But don’t worry, Trump has a plan. His administration’s plans on tariffs, deportation etc will make Subway sandwiches so expensive, fewer Americans will be able to buy them let afford to throw them.

–

Just in before posting late Thursday night, a judge released the man, saying the incident didn’t rise to the level of a felony. Guess it wasn’t a fully loaded sub?

–

From Fox News “Trump reveals his game plan for meeting with Putin in Alaska: ‘It’s like chess'” WTAF? Does anyone think Donald can play checkers let alone chess?

–

Well, the crime rate in Washington DC will definitely be lower Friday. Velveeta Voldemort will be in Alaska.

–

Tom Cruise apparently turned down a Kennedy Center honors from Trump, citing “scheduling conflicts..”

Give Donald credit. He’s made himself more toxic than scientology.

–

Anyone think Donald Trump has actually listened to the words of Gloria Gaynor’s “I will survive?”

–

–

2025 Kennedy Center Honors will be televised on Sunday, December 21, 2025, from 8:30-11:00 p.m on CBS. Who besides me will NOT be watching?

–

“Trump said he didn’t want to host the program but was invited to do so and agreed.” So was this his attempt at stand up comedy?

–

Governor Newsom has found his calling. If trolling Trump was an Olympic sport Gavin would have a gold for sure!

Now Melania Trump is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for $1 billion over ‘defamatory’ claims because he said in an interview “According to his biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, that’s how Melania .. the first lady and the president met.” Has she heard of discovery?

–

Senator Mark Kelly is right to be outraged. “Active duty military who served from 15-18 yrs being forced to resign AND denied early retirement benefits for being transgender. They made a commitment, risked their lives & served honorably. To Trump & Hegseth, that doesn’t matter.”

New SF Giants slogan? At least we’re not crashing as far as the Mets?

Or the Yankees.

And if the Toronto Blue Jays, now leading the NL East, win the World Series, what’s next?

Donald threatens to punish MLB unless they protect American teams?

–

Nothing against Tim Tebow, who posted a picture of him holding his baby girl while working on the computer.

But many MAGA are praising him for “humanizing fatherhood.”

–

If Tebow takes a picture changing a diaper MAGA internet will demand Tim be nominated for sainthood

–

Russia complaining multiple countries are mounting “titanic efforts” to undermine upcoming summit between Putin & Trump. Considering Vladimir’s war criminal facing arrest by ICC, who’s been invited to US by convicted felon, makes SENSE most of world would want to undermine it.-

Would any of the “deficit Republicans” in Washington like to speak out against cost of deploying the National Guard to DC as part of Velveeta Voldemort’s “Project Divert from the Epstein Files”?

–

Even the conservative tabloid NY Post says 10 most dangerous states in the US:

New Mexico Colorado Louisiana Tennessee Arkansas Alaska Washington California Nevada South Carolina And Trump wants to convince Americans they are most at risk visiting Washington DC?

–

Velveeta Voldemort had WH portraits of his recent predecessors moved out of sight Understand how elderly oveweight insecure white man might feel threatened by portrait of Barack Obama. But just how little of a man do you have to be to be threatened by portrait of George W. Bush?

Wrap your head around this “Pirates’ Skenes allows career-worst 7 hits, still blanks Reds.”

Career worst 7 hits in a GAME?

For a random example this week “The Tampa Bay Rays put up at least seven runs in a single inning (the fourth) for the third time this season”

–

The NFL Preseason started tonight and yes, it was possible to bet on the games. Thinking if you really care enought to research and bet on preseason games, you just MIGHT have a gambling problem.

–

If Trump’s plan to allow Americans to invest their 401ks in crypto and and private equity, what happens if they get scammed or lose their money? Are we just going to start putting the elderly on ice floes?

–

This isn’t difficult. If the Epstein files showed Trump to be innocent he’d demand they be read in primetime on every major network

–

Netanyahu now says Israel wants to take Military control of ALL of Gaza. All those Pro-Palestinian protestors who disrupted Democratic events in 2024 and and voted against Kamala Harris must be so proud.

–

In Florida: 21 people have fallen ill after drinking raw milk

If ONLY someone had invented a way to remove harmful bacteria from milk…

And what now? Will Trump, or DeSantis, fire the head of the Florida Department of Health who reported this?

You think you had a bad week -non political edition.

Imagine being a Colorado Rockies pitcher.. In a three game series in Colorado vs Toronto, the Rockies scored 6 runs. The Blue Jays scored 45.

–

–

Has Donald told Switzerland yet how many gold watches they need to give him to reduce tariffs?

–

You don’t need a strategy session for telling the truth.

You don’t need to redraw congressional districts if what you’re doing is popular with voters.

You don’t need to fire the messenger when your policies bring good results. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

–

Stephen Colbert on RFK Jr, just pulling $500 million for vaccine development: “We have 10 months of this show so I want to want to give a measured nonpartisan response – “F*ck you you roid-addled nepo-carnie.” No lies detected.

–

And now from the latest mass shooting, at Fort Stewart, we are told “There is no longer a threat to the public.” Until of course the next mass shooting.

–

JD Vance has a four-year old daughter. How can he justify his efforts to keep Epstein/Maxwell victims from getting justice? Asking for a disgusted country.

–

Again, why does Trump administration need a meeting at JD Vance’s house on Epstein files if their plan is just to tell the truth?

–

To be fair, Rubio had a decent if conservative record as a Senator so none of his colleagues knew how awful Marco would be as Secretary of State.

But EVERYONE knew that RFK Jr would be a dumpster fire at HHS. Zero excuses for anyone who voted to confirm him.

ESPN plans to acquire NFL Network and the RedZone from the NFL. What’s Velveeta Voldemort going to demand for THIS deal to go through?

–

NY Yankees have dropped 5 in a row and if the season ended today would miss the postseason.

No punchline, just fun writing that.

–

Padres 10, Diamondbacks 5. Not that crazy a score. But in 11 innings?!! Tell me you ran out of pitching without telling me you ran out of pitching.

–

This headline “Top Trump officials will discuss Epstein strategy at Wednesday dinner hosted by Vance.” You know when you don’t need a “strategy?” When you just tell the truth.

–

Will keep reminding folks as Velveeta Voldemort’s adminstration tries to pretend Ghislaine Maxwell was a victim. She is not a victim. She is not just a procuress. She is a convicted child molester who participated in raping girls. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So what happens when an increasing number of Americans file for unemployment and Velveeta Voldemort wants to keep the numbers low? Will he have their applications rejected? Or just fire anyone who reports the actual numbers?

–

So MAGA has ARREST THEM trending because Texas legislators have fled the state rather than vote on gerrymandering. If that’s an arrestable offense then when is DOJ going to arrest GOP House members who fled DC rather than vote on releasing the Epstein Files?

–

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy reportedly preparing to unveil expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the actual moon.

Guess he figures while you’re stuck in the airport getting repeated texts on flight delays, or sitting on the tarmac #23 for takeoff, that a nuclear reactor on the moon is a better diversion than worrying about further delays or near misses between planes.

–

So Velveeta Voldemort campaigned on promise of free IVF. And now Donald won’t even mandate that women can get IVF at any price, saying he can’t do it without ‘Congress first approving legislation to do so.” As if there’s ANYTHING else he’s respected Congressional authority on?

–

Trump is claiming he “is entitled to five more seats” because he won the “highest votes in the history of Texas.” Uh, leaving aside that George W. Bush won Texas with over 61.1% of the Vote, Donald had 56.3% in 2024. He didn’t even do better than Mitt Romney’s 57% in 2012!

–

Even when the NY Times says something a bit negative they are still sanewashing.: “Trump’s Demand to Trading Partners: Pledge Money or Get Higher Tariffs’ NY Times is leaving out the demands for stuff like free planes or that Brazil not prosecute his buddy Bolsonaro

–

On that 90,000 sq ft ballroom, planned to be bigger than entire current White House… Karoline Leavitt claims “White House currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without a tent.” She really thinks world leaders will want to come here?

Why isn’t this a bigger story?

Proposed White House ballroom will be 90,000 sq ft. The ENTIRE White House, including Executive Residence, East AND West Wings, currently has total floor area of approx 67,000 sq ft. Donald’s gilded party room will more than double the White House size.

That Donald Trump is the biggest golf cheat ever.

Of course one way to disprove this is for Donald to play a round on national television. #ratings.

–

So what would have been the SF Giants only hit with runners in scoring position all weekend turns out to be a fielder’s choice because Ramos rans into an out at third with bad baserunning. How many ways can a team find ways not to score?

–

Meanwhile, while the Devers trade with Bston may not have paid dividends yet for the SF Giants… at least the Red Sox without Devers just took a series from Los Angeles.

Mike Johnson says he would have ‘great pause’ about a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon. Is that MAGA Mike’s version of Susan Collins’ being “very concerned?”

Texas has more than 15,300 wind turbines, the most of any state. Why aren’t you educating Donald Trump on windmills?

From Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts: “In 2023, wind represented 28.6 percent of Texas energy generation… There are 239 wind-related projects in Texas …” Is Donald this stupid or does he think his base is…?

–

–

Hey Ted Cruz and John Cornyn – Texas has more than 15,300 wind turbines, the most of any state. Why aren’t you educating Donald Trump on windmills?

How much would many people pay for an off the record chat with EU President Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, telling you what she REALLY thinks of Trump?

–

If the Epstein files showed mostly Democrats and nothing about Donald, Velveeta Voldemort would have released them months ago.

–

Athletics’ rookie Nick Kurtz today against the Astros: 4 HRs, 6 hits, 19 total bases

So the question. Is he a flash in the pan, or rather at the plate?

Or when will he be signed by the Dodgers to a deferred long-term contract.

–

Meanwhile, a Venezuelan Little League team was denied entry to the US to play in the Senior Little League World Series. Senior in Little League means kids 13-16.

Feel safer yet?

–

NY Times headline: “New Reports on Russian Interference Don’t Show What Trump Says They Do.” It would take less words to say “Trump lied.”

–

Hey MAGA.

While Dear Leader attacks windmills. – One state leads the USA in wind-powered electricity generation, producing a staggering 28% of wind energy in the U.S. in 2023. That State has 15,300 wind turbines — the most in the country.

And that state is Texas!

–

Trump fundraising email for morning actually says this: “HERE’S THE TRUTH: without me and you, we would be living in the DARK AGE OF AMERICA.” Dogwhistle much?

Trump fundraising email tonight: (No joke) “I’m surprising JD with a birthday card.”

Wonder if he’ll draw a picture for his VP?

–

Trump, who flew into Glasgow today, CLAIMS he’s in Scotland for trade talks. Glasgow hosts many international conferences. They have hotels suitable for world leaders. Instead Donald, his entourage & Secret Service staying at his $1000 a night (& up) resort. On our taxpayer dime.

–

US Media may bend the knee.

Not the Scots.

If your vote was influenced by Riley Gaines losing out on a fifth place swimming medal, but you’ve decided you’re willing to ignore young teenage girls being raped….

Your politics aren’t really about protecting children.
