Happy no Kings Day:

Cats, however, would like to differ. (Queens too)

–

Lowest rated NBA finals so far in recent history. Too bad folks, you’re missing a heckuva series.

–

So after one of the worst losses of the year, a complete meltdown against the worst team in baseball, the SF Giants go into Dodger Stadium and shut down LA Dodgers.

Just like we all expected. #SFGiants

–

–

SF Giants are in Los Angeles for a weekend series and per SF Chronicle, team been encouraged to stay in hotel, which is not near downtown, as much as possible. Makes sense, team has several Latino/Black men, sadly can just imagine one of them being detained by ICE.

Yeah, tell me he’s not a malignant narcissist and this $100 million military parade farce isn’t all about him: Donald Trump’s fundraising email of the day subject line “This is a pre-birthday memo”

–

Washington DC hotels nightly rates now this weekend.

Washington Hilton, $139 Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill -$195 Capitol Hilton – $139 Westin $209 Kimpton Monaco $168 Ask anyone in travel industry, some of lowest rate in recent memory

Sorry, Donald, they’re just not that into you.

–

The federal government has information on everyone who has come into the United States on a tourist/student visa. So they KNOW many overstay from Europe. Wonder why, for example, ICE doesn’t have raids in Irish areas of South Boston? Or Polish areas of Chicago?

–

California Congressman Eric Swalwell on Trump talking about farmers losing immigrant workers, very good workers..we can’t do that to our farmers.. and leisure too. We’re going to have an order… we have to do something about that…” ‘Hey Genius, you’re the one who can do something about that

–

You know GOP realizes Kristi Noem’s ICE went too far because the story of Senator Alex Padilla being mahandled and handcuffed in Los Angeles is off Fox News website front page…

ICE must have hired a huge number of new people to do all these Gestapo like arrests and detentions. Hey Congress, anyone want to investigate what if any background checks they are using? My guess is a lot less than it takes to volunteer in public schools.

Random unimportant thought, the league MIGHT be spacing NBA finals games too far apart when many fans have to wonder, so how many days until the next game?

–

As SF Giants lose their seven game streak, and the game by allowing the Rockies to score three in the y bottom of the ninth, a reminder that nothing is certain but death, taxes, and you can’t give up walks and make errors at Coors Field.

–

Pete Hegseth today before House Armed Services Committee actually said it’s fine for POTUS to wear MAGA hat while speaking to troops Rep. Pat Ryan ends with “I do not say this lightly, I think your tenure as Sec of Def has been shameful & weak & you should resign. “

–

Gavin Newsom was re-elected with 59.2% of the vote. Almost a full 10 points higher than Velveeta Voldemort. And Karen Bass was elected with 54.8% of the vote. What happened to “elections have consequences

The war in Ukraine, launched by Trump’s friend Putin, shows no signs of stopping.

Also Donald cannot stop Israel, one of the few remaining countries the USA is still on good terms with, from pre-emptively bombing Iran. Are we great yet?

–

Even Fox News:

Kristi Noem’s DHS said Padilla did not initially identify himself as senator & wasn’t wearing Senate security pin. However, footage captured by Fox News shows him saying, “I’m Senator Alex Padilla, have questions for the secretary,” as he was taken out of room then taken down and handcuffed.

–

Kristi Noem had U.S Senator Alex Padilla physically attacked and thrown out of her Press Conference just for trying to ask a question. Given Noem’s history when she is annoyed at behavior I guess Padilla is lucky she didn’t shoot him.

–

David Hogg is out as DNC Vice Chair. (Better now than 2026.)

But pundits are making it sound like it’s “generational.” Uh, Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta is 34. Wasn’t Hogg’s age, it was his attitude

Meanwhile, as RFK Jr, continues his anti-vax, anti-science ramage at HHS….

Do billionaires think their money will somehow save them or their children when they get a deadly preventable disease?

–

Meanwhile as Israel attacks Iran and much of the world worries about WWIII, Donald has scheduled a situation room meeting at 11a.

Clearly a top priority. Between makeup and hair and whatever, Trump doesn’t often golf untll noon.

GOP beat the Democorats 13-2 in today’s Congressional baseball game.

Last year Republicans won 31-11.

So a sign that the comeback is beginning?

(Though semi-seriously, perhaps former MLB player and manager Gabe Kapler, an avowed Democrat, might consider running for Congress.)

–

The SF Giants won their seventh in a row but disappointed some fans in breaking their near record breaking streak of eight one run games Only in baseball world does that statement make sense.

–

From Heather Cox Richardson “Politico reported today that of the 50 Republican members of Congress they surveyed, only 7 said they planned to go to the June 14 military parade in Washington, D.C.” Sorry Donald, they’re just not that into you.

Follow the money. If you wanted for whatever reason to go to DC for the vanity parade, you can get a nice Westin for $229 a night, and a Kimpton near the Capitol for $110, while the Monaco is as low as $144

This is half to a quarter regular prices .

–

Pete Hegseth had a birthday last week. June 6. So give the guy a break if he’s seemed distracted. It’s can be a tough decision to choose what makeup gift you will receive from Sephora.

Pete Hegseth lies and says politics won’t matter in his military.

Then why take the name of a veteran who was assassinated in public office off the name of a ship? #HarveyMilk

–

So Trump and Vance were attending Les Miserables tonight. Do either of them know the PLOT of Les Miserables?

(if anyone has a picture of Donald Trump falling asleep or leaving early tonight from Les Miserable at the Kennedy Center it would be very disrespectful to post it.

Idea that we need to get people off Medicaid & into jobs offering insurance is particularly cruel/out of touch. 1. Gig economy jobs don’t offer insurance, Uber, Doordash, etc.

2. Many BIG companies carefully schedule hourly employees to keep them under minimum hours for benefits.

High-profile ICE raids are overwhelmingly in blue states, or blue cities (Omaha) in red states. If Trump & Miller want to deport as many as planned, however, they’re need to start going after immigrants in rural areas & red states… Trump voters about to get big dose of FAFO.

And I missed the stories about all the Trump supporters having their car wash and meat packing plant jobs taken by immigrants.. (Meat packing jobs in Nebraska from what I can see pay about $15 an hour. Thats about $30,000 a year….average cost for childcae for an infant is about $14,000 a year. Just saying.)

–

Serious travel point – As Trump travel ban 2.0 takes affect, how long until other countries start retaliating against US tourists? And anyone when vaccine cards were required for some countries? With RFK Jr, at HHS, won’t be long until civilized countries start demanding them again for Americans.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated there was a chance Shohei Ohtani could return to pitching before the All-Star break.

Fans of San Diego Padres and SF Giants have to be of mixed minds. The way Los Angeles pitchers – (14 or 15 last count) have ended up on IL this year, this might be the only way to slow down the Dodgers superstar.

–

SF Giants traveling to LA this weekend to play the Dodgers. Considering that many of Giants’ star players are brown or black, seriously wondering if team will have to be confined to the hotel so Trump’s ICE goons don’t try to arrest them.

–

–

Trump talks about “paid troublemakers” in Los Angeles. Wonder which of his allies paid them

–

Per Fox News “Senator Tom Cotton aims to put down riots with tough new proposals.” 1 Arkansas has the 3rd highest crime rate in USA. 2. So what happens if ICE shows up at Arkansas poultry processing plants? AR also #3 in US in terms of poultry production. And many workers are undocumented.

–

“California may be the first but other states will be next…. The most important office in this country is not President or Governor, it is ‘citizen.’ Do not give in to him.” Best speech I have heard Gavin Newsom give.

–

Remember now watching Fox News pretend Los Angeles is on fire, when Amy Klobuchar talked in 2024 about those in right-wing media bubble really believing lie that Democrats killed babies.

Fox wants to scare viewers now with lies so they support whatever insane thing Velveeta Voldemort does…

–

Donald is renaming military bases originally named for Confederate leaders “Great loyal Americans like Robert E Lee?!” What’s next. A pardon for Benedict Arnold?

–

Tom Cotton’s “Mitigating Extreme Lawlessness & Threats Act, would increase max. punishment for rioting from 5-10 yrs, with mandatory minimu of 1 yr in prison for participating in ANY riot-related act of violence &/or assaulting member of fed law enforcement.

“Any riot-related act assaulting a member of federal law enforcement.?. Except I guess Capitol police

–

Meanwhile, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to turn over responsibility for the health of the United State to a former heroin addict with a brain worm?

–

As GOP Whip Steve Scalise slams California blaming Democrats for violent crime, your reminder. HIS state of Louisiana has the 4th highest violent crime rate in the United States (below only New Mexico, Alaska and Arkansas)

–

Pentagon says deploying Marines and National Guard to protests in Los Angeles will cost $134 million.

$134 MILLION?!! And now they are saying at least 60 days?!! How many children and elderly people could that feed? How many veterans could that help?

It’s not just performative, it’s a horrible waste of our tax dollars.

Smithsonian rejects Trump’s attempt to fire National Portrait Gallery director

What’s Velveeta Voldemort going to do now? Close the Smithsonian?

–

Pam Bondi “We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you.” Unless you did that to a U.S. Capitol police officer on January 6. Then we will pardon you and maybe pay you restitution.

–

So if Donald REALLY was focused on undocumented workers, he’d have ICE raids at meatpacking plants. Estimated undocumented workers make up between 30 to 50% of meatpacking workforce. Trump doesn’t care about immigration. He wants to punish blue states.


If Trump’s ICE goons are going to start detaining CNN reporters may I suggest Jake Tapper?

–

Want a cheap hotel room in Washington DC? Try this weekend. Prices as low as they usually are around Christmas when everyone has gone home… some four star hotels just over $200 a night. The little detail that the streets will be full of tanks.

Face it Donald, people just aren’t that into you.

Meanwhile as cheap as hotels are, they’re putting the U.S. Military in town for the parade up at the USDA South Building in DC… No joke. Telling employees who were told they HAD to be in the office that they had to work from home.,

–


Donald Trump just actually said “the crime that (Gavin Newsom) has primarily committed is running for Governor because he’s done such a bad job. Um, in 2022, Newsom was re-elected Gov. of California with 59.2% of the vote. 59.2%! –

A full 10 points HIGHER than Velveeta Voldemort got in 2024.

–

No “tax on tips” already in a way exists for Uber drivers (and waitstaff and bartenders.) It’s called “Tip in cash”

Seven one run games in seven days.

SF Giants have won the last five.

Today’s game had hour line lines for a “Hello Kitty” jersey giveaway, which was gone 90 minutes in advance…

But the team at least is giving all fans in attendance a free cardiac test

–

NBA finals game 2 in the books. And if it goes to game 7 the season ends two weeks from tonight.

League stretching and milking this much?

–

Just for something fun and nonpolitical

If the season ended today, the Tampa Bay Rays would be a playoff team.

The Rays are playing 2025 in a 10,000 seat minor league stadium.

Playoff/games tickets could be… interesting…

Fox headline “Coco Gauff says Trump’s election led to ‘down period’ in US following French Open victory.

What Coco, now the women’s French Open Tennis champion said “II remember after the election and everything, it felt like a down period a little bit….. My mom told me during Riyadh, try to win the tournament just to give people something to smile for, that’s what I was thinking about today,” She added also that it mattered “to be a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don’t feel as supported during this time period… Being a reflection of hope and light for those people.

No lies detected.

SF Chronicle’s Scott Ostler today “There’s an interesting headline from Marca, Spain’s daily sports newspaper: “Trump, FIFA scandals spark movement planning to boycott 2026 World Cup.””

–

Hey ICE, since you’re bound and determined to find undocumented workers in Los Angeles, many of them work at restaurants, in maintenance, and in gardening/landscaping. So perhaps worth visiting the Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes?

–

At Trader Joe’s today in Palo Alto, California, one of the songs they were playing over the store speakers was Neil Young’s “Ohio.” A little too timely

–

Hey Louisiana Senators John Kennedy and Bill Cassidy, you good with this? Per New Orleans newspaer: “15-24 immigrant workers arrested working on major New Orleans flood control project.” At the same time Trump slashes FEMA & NOAA weather forecasting.

–

ICE arresting woman & children when families show up for immigration appointments

ICE arresting hardworking people at their jobs.

Fox News doesn’t cover this.

Fox lies & says ICE just arresting “criminals & gang members.

Fox attacks anyone including politicians who protests.

–

Hey ABC, CBS, THIS is how it’s done.

Deathsantis is ordering the paper to “cease & desist” reporting on nonprofit run by his wife. Editorial: Intimidation won’t make Orlando Sentinel back down on Hope Florida story

Editorial: Intimidation won’t make the Sentinel back down on Hope Florida story

In 2023, the federal government collected $4.67 trillion in revenue from all 50 states.

California contributed 12.2% of the total!

Does Velveeta Voldemort really want to pick a fight with the Golden State?

SF Giants lead MLB in walk off wins.

Two recently have happened with Wilmer Flores at the plate. – one a walk off walk, one a walk off wild pitch. Clearly as far as terrorizing pitchers with the same on the line, Wilmer is the west coast version of Aaron Judge

–

Incredibly exciting finish as Indiana Pacers somehow pulled off another miracle comeback. So many fans eagerly awaiting game two with Indiana vs OKC, But the same NBA that plays regular back to backs during the season has game two scheduled for SUNDAY? (3 day break.) Game seven, if it happens would be June 22. What’s next, weekly playoff games like the NFL?

–

Dear Canada. If Trump cuts off federal funding to California, which is a donor state, could we have a conversation about becoming your 11th province? We’ll bring wine. Love, Californians.

–

Meanwhile in the North Korea of the South:

“Even Republicans in Florida legislature have condemned this arrangement with Hope Florida as possibly illegal, and state prosecutors have opened an investigation.”

Department run by DeSantis orders reporter to stop probing wife’s charity.

–

WTAF? Trump now compares Russia-Ukraine war to ‘kids fighting in a park.”

“Kids fighting in a park?” This is the same man who’s been saying regularly “We have about 5,000 people a week, young men, are dying in that war.” And using adjectives like horrible, ridiculous, etc… Again, the question, evil or dementia?

–

·

JD Vance actually tweeted “There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he’s impulsive or short-tempered. Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that’s ridiculous.”

If this VP thing doesn’t work out JD has a real future in stand-up comedy.

If Trump cancels federal funding for California, then why should California still send tax money to the feds?

Donald bragging about building a ballroom in the White House. Who needs a ballroom when no one in the house has any balls?

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?

SF Giants are undefeated in the Dom Smith Daniel Johnson era. Just saying.

(And Giants scored more than 4 runs in a game for the first time since May 16…)

Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies have won three in a row. Let’s really hope this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse.

–

ESPN: “MLB took President Trump’s support of Pete Rose into account.” Today Velveeta Voldemort repaid Commissioner Manfred by basically ending most visas from Cuba and Venezuela… where over 200 MLB players are from… So if THEY can be in the US, their family and friends cannot.

Taking Harvey Milk’s name off a navy ship during Pride Month is cruel and homophobic.

It’s also a distraction from the economic destruction Velveeta Voldemort is wreaking on almost on all Americans, even those who voted for him.

But really, WTF?

Renaming ship intended to create “alignment with Trump and Hegseth objectives & priorities of reestablishing the ‘warrior’ culture.”

Harvey Milk was more of a warrior than Donold and Pete will EVER be.

Trump Musk bromance didn’t even last as long as one of Velveeta Voldemort’s marriages.

–

Trump and MAGA keep lying and pretending lazy immigrants are taking advantage of free things in the US, at the same time their raids increasingly focus on workplaces. Make it make sense.

Trump attacking Rand Paul today “The people of Kentucky can’t stand him.” Now, I am no Rand Paul fan… but he’s been elected three times. One more than Donald.

–

No public events again today. Where is Donald?

–

Media seems so concerned about the age and health of our former President. Why aren’t they raising the alarm that the almost 79 yr old current President hasn’t been seen in public all week? They aren’t even asking GOP Senators who supposedly met with him about it.

–

Just a thought.

A vain 79 year old man is having a big televised parade for his birthday. Now he hasn’t been seen in public all week. “Siri, what’s the down time for plastic surgery?”

Donald Trump golfed all weekend, and hasn’t been seen publicly. As much as he loves the camera there were no public events Monday nor are any scheduled for Tuesday.

A hair disaster? A black eye from Little X? Or did he get called on the carpet by his boss Vlad for not finding out in advance and telling Russia about Ukraine’s plans.

–

And this is two days after Donold posted the wild conspiracy theory about Biden being replaced with a robot…

Starter thought for MAGA who don’t get what Palantir database means: They will have access to your bank account info.. If you’re not reporting all your income, if you’re hiring undocumented workers, if you’re spending money on something private. Big Brother will know….

Palantir won’t just go after liberals. They’ll have info on everything. Your guns, your spending, your hiring practices, your banking details, your medical history…

The Los Angeles Dodgers now have 15 pitchers on the IL

So what is Los Angeles going to do at the trade deadline? Buy the Detroit Tigers?

–

Washington Nationals scored 10 runs in the first inning yesterday. Until today, the SF Giants had scored 10 runs in the last 7 games.

–

Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies swept again and are the 3rd fastest to 50 losses in MLB history. The fastest in the modern era since 1900.

27 games behind the Dodgers on June 1. Will the Rockies be the first team mathematically eliminated from winning their division befoe the All-Star Break?


So were people like Joni Ernst always this awful or has serving Trump destroyed their souls?

–

Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth are actually using polygraph tests in efforts to find leakers in the FBI and DOD. Too bad we couldn’t have given them both lie detector tests during their confirmation hearings.

–

Again, wonder why right wing media viewers/readers seem to live in different world? Fox News not even covering insanity of Donald’s reposting conspiracy theory that Biden was executed. While Daily Mail “Trump shares astonishing theory about Joe Biden that is sure to upset Jill”

–

Can we get the reporter who asked Velveeta Voldemort about TACO on a Sunday show? Where she could have asked GOP politicians if they agree with Joni Ernst and what they think of Donald’s reposting an insane conspiracy theory.

–

Anyone asked Sarah Palin, who accused Democrats of “death panels” what she thinks of Joni Ernst’s “we’re all going to die?”

–


Elon Musk: “I’m a little stuck in a bind, where I’m like, well, I don’t wanna, you know, speak up against the administration, but I also don’t wanna take responsibility for everything this administration’s doing.”

He already destroyed government agencies and made the lives of everyone still working for the federal government miserable. While enriching himself and ending investigations into his companies. He’s responsible whether he likes it or not.

But with the NBA Finals set, and OKC a heavy favorite, we still don’t know for sure who will win.

One thing that might be a safe bet- the winning team will NOT be invited to the White House.

Fox News headline “Cancer patient DJ Daniel faces 3 new tumors after inspiring Trump & others.

How can anyone not root for DJ? Evn if Donald did use him as a prop in SOTU.

What Fox doesn’t say. Donald not just deporting immigrant kids w/ cancer, but he & RFK Jr, cutting research that kept DJ alive for years

–

Trump pulled own NASA nominee, AFTER Jared Isaacman was approved by Senate on Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee on 19-to-9 vote. He would’ve been confirmed. But apparently besides donating to Donald, Jared also donated to some Dems. Even the hint of less than abject loyalty is the kiss of death for dear leader.

–

Apparently Velveeta Voldemort was particularly upset when asked about TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out – because no one in the White House had told him about it first. Uh, who would have dared?

–

Trump spokesperson “Harvard decided to litigate on MSNBC, NPR & ratings-disaster CNN instead of acting like adults as their competitors have done & engaging in fruitful conversations & actions that would’ve saved them from self-inflicted demise.” In other words, they didn’t cave.

–

Some Democratic campaigns against sitting GOP Senators may struggle to find talking points. Not I think so much for whoever wins the Democratic primary against “We’re all going to die” Joni Ernst.

–

So with some quasi-legal drugs at best, sounds like Muskrat was behaving in a way that would have gotten most immigrants deported these days.

–

Today’s word “transgenic” Transgenic refers to organism/cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means. Transgenic mice are used for for research purposes. Trump thinks it means “transgender.”

Bummer that Caitlin Clark has a quad injury and will be out at least two weeks.


But again cool that this is one of ESPN’s top 5 headlines “Fever fall to Mystics in first game without Caitlin Clark.

Wasn’t that long ago that many might have seen Fever and Mystics and figured it had something to do with COVID or some other disease and odd cure ideas.

–

Need a reason to root for OKC in the NBA finals? Their superstar, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, SGA, is Canadian.

Since the foreign students in USA, at Harvard and elsewhere, all have visas, the government already knows their names. And a lot more personal details. This is all performative.

–


Trump: “Harvard wants to fight. They want to show how smart they are. And they’re getting their ass kicked.”

What does he think this is? A schoolyard fight between 12 year old boys at his fancy prep school?

–

How long until David Hogg publicly says he’s become a Republican?

How do you KNOW when a reporter at a Trump press conference nails something? When Velveeta Voldemort’s response is “that’s a nasty question.”

–

Lost in the coverage of Donald’s outrage over TACO label is coveage of the fact he said he won young people by 37%.

Trump did NOT win young people by 37% He didn’t even win “young people.” While admittedly by less of a margin than Joe Biden, Kamala Harris did.

Dementia dementia dementia… Where’s the book – Orange Sin?

–

If someone like Marco Rubio were in charge when his grandfather came to the United States, Marco himself would never have been born with a chance for US citizenship.

Hey fellow Democrats. Maybe if we want to protest Trump events we should put a “Trump Always Chickens Out” Taco Truck at every rally corner.

–

So which restaurant will first offer the “Trump chicken TACO?” “Like nothing you’ve ever seen before, orange, fatty, supposed to be hot but slathered in Russian dressing.” And a lot more expensive than advertised.

So as of tonight, Oklahoma City, and Indiana are one win away from the NBA finals.

And OKC and Indianapolis combined have a population of about 1.6 million.

Will ESPN show highlights of the NBA finals between NFL OTA highlights?

–

For the first five games of this nine game road trip, SF Giants have scored nine runs, four in the first game.

If these keeps up, won’t even be about winning games, the Giants won’t be able to make big bucks at the team store selling “game used bats.”

–

I didn’t know who Todd and Julie Chrisley were. But again, Velveeta Voldemort shows that if you donate to him or are a celebrity who supports him, all crimes are forgiven. Donald would probably pardon Timothy McVeigh if he were still alive.

–

Hey Georgia MAGA: Todd & Julie Chrisley found guilty of defrauding many Atlanta banks out of over $30 million in fraudulent loans. They walked away from over $20 million in loans by declaring bankruptcy. Who ultimately pays that? Stockholders & other bank customers. Like you!

–

How many Republican proud Harvard graduates are silent now as Velveeta Voldemort tries to destroy their alma mater? Profiles in cowardice!

–

As felons get pardoned, and hired, in Trump administration…. I’m so old that I remember when Bill Clinton was impeached over a consensual sexual relationship, and Cabinet nominees stepped down over immigrant nannies.

–

King Charles speech in Canada to parliament. ” Canada faces a critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination & freedom, are values Canadians hold dear & ones which their goverment is determined to protect.”

Diplomatic speak for “suck it, Donald?”

–

Leaving everything else aside, as our US President refers regularly to the Governor of California as “Newscum,” remember that GOP lost their collective minds when Jasmine Crockett referred to Governor of Texas as “Hot Wheels”?

–

Kevin Cramer, sole GOP Senator on Canada trip: “Don’t want to get in Trump’s way….Hopefully I navigated it OK, but I’ll find out on Truth Social. Sad he’s openly scared.

But FIVE Senators on were on the trip Cramer, Klobuchar, Kaine, Shaheen & Welch.

Same MSM media that says Democrats should be doing more doesn’t headline them at all.

–

The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping new plan to investigate students’ social media pages for posts that they disagree with. All incoming international students will be forced to undergo “vetting”..

This is great news for University of Toronto, already a top school, and about to become the most sought-after college in North America for the best and the brightest around the world. Won’t be bad for McGill, McMaster and University of British Columbia either..

Memorials and memories

As college football playoff commissioners moved towards CFP changes with top four seeds getting byes, regardless of conference, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey now says SEC not settled on preferred CFP format – he wants to allow for changing conditions, and possible play-in games

Translation, he’ll be fine as long as at least half the SEC including Alabama get into the post season.

–

Teams in playoff position on Memorial Day have about a 75% chance of making the postseason.

Meanwhile, will the Colorado Rockies, 9-45, be the first MLB team to be eliminated by the All-Star Break?

–

PGA Senior Golf Championship ended yesterday. Has Donald said he should have won yet?

–

Fox News was all over the incident in Liverpool during the championship parade for the city’s football/soccer Premier League team. 50 plus people were injured, some gravely, when a car drove through the crowd. Now that police say driver was a local white 53 year old man…. crickets.-

–

Joe Biden Tweet today. “On Memorial Day, let us pause to remember and honor the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live our lives in peace and possibility. Today we also honor the families they left behind whose hearts still carry the weight of absence.”

Barack Obama Tweet “On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.”

I miss having a president.

–

Meanwhile Velveeta Voldemort today “We have the World Cup and we have the Olympics. Can you imagine, I miss that four years and now I have everything. Amazing the way things work out. God did that.”

So at this point what are the odds that the World Cup and Olympics both happen in the US?

–

For some reason Fox, which claims to be pro policy and military, didn’t say a word about this guy on Memorial Day.

Numbers games

Of course it’s way too early to look seriously at the standings. But if MLB season ended today, four playoff teams would be from AL Central (Tigers, Guardians, Twins, Royals) and three (Dodgers, Giants, Padres), from NL West.

–

Minnesota Twins fall short 2-1 to Royals with tying run on 3rd and winning run on 2nd in 10th…. but baseball friend pointed out, had they pulled it out would have been first 3 game sweep with all wins by walkoff in franchise history. Baseball is the best nerd game.

–


Whether or not Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark really was fouled late in a two point game against the NY Liberty it’s kind of cool that social media is in an uproar over women’s basketball.

–

All these 20 plus point comebacks in NBA playoffs. Maybe it’s good for advertisers in the 4th quarter. But have to wonder, how many people are figuring there’s no need to turn in for the first quarter?

–

Trump DOJ investigating Chicago mayor for possibly hiring too many Black people. His office workforce is 30% White, 34% Black. Chicago city population is 31.4% white, 28.7% black.

Meanwhile 40% of Americans are people of color. Trump cabinet, 17% people of color. Where’s THAT investigation?

–


He’s going to pardon the “late great Al Capone”, isn’t he?

–

Wow. CNN’s “Change the Channel” Scott Jennings in a speech promoting his own book said that when he first met Trump at the White House, Donald told him “You look terrific.” So is Jennings hoping when Velveeta Voldemort runs out of Fox folks to hire he’ll offer him a job?

–

Buried in NY Times article today. “In no county where Trump increased his share of vote did majority of adults have college degree. And in no county voting more Democratic did fewer than 20% of adults have college degree.” Why Trump feels safe going after Harvard.

–

Now he’s attacking the “big beautiful bill.” Twice in one month Trump actually has me agreeing with… Rand Paul?

–

Personally I’m fine with Tommy Tuberville running for Alabama governor. But does this mean he’d actually have to move back to the state from Florida?

–

NY Times Headline “Europe Negotiating by the Book, but Trump Is Tearing It Up.” Buried lede: “Trump sees tariff talks as chance to pressure rival into concessions. E.U. officials have acted as if they were dealing w/ an ally.”

Think about it. Memorial Day weekend, four months into Trump second term, USA is no longer an ally of Europe.

–

When #FAFO trends now we all know it’s another Trump about a Trump voter or voters who voted for him to hurt other people. And now discovered they ARE the other people.

–

Trump at West Point “You will become officers of the greatest & most powerful army the world has ever known. And I know, because I rebuilt that army, & I rebuilt the military. And we rebuilt it like nobody has ever rebuilt it before in my 1st term…” Dementia in plain sight.

At 8-42, the Rockies just finished the worst 50 games in MLB history since 1895.

Tonight, they knocked off the AL East leading NY Yankees 3-2.

Baseball is a funny game.

–

Do any of these folks cheering Trump attacks on Harvard realize that he won’t stop at Harvard? It’ll be your alma-mater next. Or if you didn’t go to University, maybe the school with your favorite college football or basketball team.

–

Hey MAGA. As Donald escalates his xenophobia to banning foreign college students, are you ready to kiss even red-state teams’ successes goodbye?

Florida just won national NCAA men’s basketball championship with Australian power forward , Nigerian center and Slovenian guard.

–

WTAF? Trump now justifying his attacks on Harvard by alleging that it’s foreign students at Harvard who need “remedial math?” Man who bankrupted CASINOS and who thinks tariffs are not a tax says what?

–

I’m so old I remember when Trump criticized Biden over Hurricane Helene relief & lied that FEMA spent money helping immigrants & not North Carolina residents. He got NC electoral votes & now takes FEMA money from the state to pay for billionaire tax cuts and his military parade

–

–

There is one reason Velveeta Voldemort is threatening 50% tariffs on the EU. They had the audacity to sign a rare minerals deal with Greenland.

The Independent and others are reporting that at Donald’s high priced crypto coin dinner the food was awful. “Spirit Airlines level” said one..“Worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” TikTok personality Nick Pinto, who invested $300,000 in Trump family cryptocurrency, ..only good thing was bread & butter.”

So overpriced, overhyped crap. Sounds like a metaphor for his presidency.

–

Bible says “it profit not a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul.”. Meanwhile Jake Tapper sold his soul, (and trashed his ratings) in hopes of a bestseller and will have his books on the remainder shelf by summer.

–

Former Republican member of Congress David Jolly of Florida goes there. “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and arguably unwell.” Biden is no longer President and no longer has power. We need to focus on the threat to our country right now.

–

We need a book about Trump’s decline and the coverup. Some REAL journalist want to write it? Got the title for you – “Orange Sin.”

Nothing against the Knicks but seeing how much ESPN, the NBA and most media are rooting for New York in the finals, got to be cheering for the Pacers. Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Minneapolis together don’t quite have 2 million population.

–

The 10 FBS commissioners & Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua, the CFP’s management committee, said they are moving to a straight playoff seeding model this fall, giving the committee’s top four teams the top four seeds and a first-round bye. (Instead of giving those spots to the four top ranked conference winners.)

The change benefits Notre Dame and the SEC. What took them so long?

–

Colorado Rockies have fallen to 8-42 — now the worst start of a year since 1895.

Watching the headlines since January 20, 2025, is it time to name the Rockies “America’s team?”

Why are media going so hard now against Biden?

Seems to me answer is simple: Their normalizing Trump & both-sides-ism last year really helped Donald get reelected. Easier to blame Joe than to accept blame for the disaster for America that is Velveeta Voldemort’s second term.

–

Trump plays a faked video and lies about white Genocide in South Africa. Posting pictures from the Congo as being in South African among other things.

Meanwhile Fox Faux News presents this all as fact. “HAPPENING NOW: Trump confronts South African president with video on treatment of White farmers.”

State TV has arrived.

–

As GOP goes nuclear on the filibuster to pass a law against California’s Clean Air act, imagine how they’ll react if when Democrats get power again Senate dems use the same trick to go after, for example, red-state anti-abortion laws?

–

Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn’t save lives.

Many poor women not only won’t be able to get birth control, or STD testing, they won’t get wellness checks or cancer screenings. & if women get pregnant, GOP just made it harder for them to get Medicaid & SNAP. Pro life my ass

–

For purposes of Medicaid/SNAP work requirement GOP is dropping age of dependent children whose parents must work to 7. Yes, seven. Of course if you leave a seven year old home alone or even let them walk home from school alone you’ll probably be arrested for child endangerment.

–

If you needed any more proof of how awful Jake Tapper’s book is, Press Secretary Barbie (AKA Caroline Leavitt was praising it today.

–

Meanwhile CNN increasingly focuses less on news and more on hyping their colleague’s book. They’re going to need to change their name from CNN to CCN – Change Channel Network

–

Should be a bigger story.

Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner, who was only 70, passed away, March 2. Greg Abbott refused to call a special election until Nov 4, so district will not have a representative for most of 2025. GOP & Trump’s bloated ugly bill passed by ONE vote.-

–

Supposedly this bill from hell has $1000 for babies born to US Citizens going into “Trump accounts.” To encourage people having babies. ” The average cost of infant care in the US is over $1000 for ONE MONTH.

–

Colorado Democratic Rep Joe Neguse makes simple point on bill hearing that started at 1am. What’s the urgency that it couldn’t have started at 6a, 7a? The only reason to debate this Bloated Ugly bill in middle of the night is that GOP hopes Americans never find out what they are doing.

–

GOP Press conference boasting about the big ugly bill they passed by one vote looks like a polar bear conference, only whiter.

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.
