So NBA 2024-25 finals game seven will be June 22.

About three months and two weeks before the first NBA 2025-2026 preseason game.

And the league wonders why Americans seem to be losing interest.

–

.

Shedeur Sanders, cited this week for driving 101 MPH in Ohio, was also pulled over 2 weeks ago for allegedly driving 91 MPH.

The Browns say they have “addressed the citations.”

How about addressing telling Sanders to stick to taxis and Ubers?

From my funny friend Marc Ragovin:


Thu, Jun 19 at 11:51 AM

“Now that the Stanley Cup Finals are over, the eye and ear of South Florida are laser focused on the Marlins”

–

Some bots and trolls on social are attacking the Los Angeles Dodgers for denying entrance to ICE agents today. And some anti-immigrant folks are CLAIMING they’ll never go to a Dodgers game again. But have to think for most fans the reaction is “Promise?”

Remember back in April the Dodgers faced some controversy for all showing up at the White House. Kershaw even made a speech & LA gave Trump a Jersey. Today Donald repays them by sending ICE to the ballpark. Another example- you can’t win by appeasing tyrants.

No idea if the rumors that Trump has cut Tulsi Gabbard out of his inner circle and might yet fire her are true…


Can’t stand Gabbard. But…

OTOH, it would make sense that the first person out of the Trump cabinet would be a woman of mixed-race ancestry.

–

Of course Donald will make a decision on whether or not to attack Iran “in the next two weeks.” While he’s working on his beautiful healthcare plan, ending the war in Ukraine, deciding on tariffs, etc…

–

Does anyone REALLY think that Donald Trump thinks as he posted, that he US has “too many non-working holidays?” Velveeta Voldemort just wants the only holiday this month to be June 14.

Can some reporter please ask how many pardoned January 6 felons have been hired by ICE?

Billionaire Mark Walter just bought the Los Angeles Lakers for $10 billion.

Tell me again why he needs a tax cut?

–

Baseball happens.

SF Giants have lost 4 in a row, scored 4 runs in last 2 games, (3 for 19 with RISP.

Meanwhile, NL East leading NY Yankees have lost 6 in a row, and have scored 7 runs in 7 games.

–

Wonder what the odds are that US is considering starting WWIII because Donald doesn’t like the nickname TACO?

–

Trump to workers putting up he claims $100,000 flagpoles at White House

“Do we have any illegal immigrants here” No response. He said news media, not him, would check. “They’ll find out. They’ll check you. Your whole life will be destroyed because of this press conference.”

Donald. Is. Insane.

–

Estimates were if Donald kept National Guard in Los Angeles for 60 days it would cost $134 million. Now he’s sending 2,000 MORE? This on top of his ICE terror squad. Our tax $$ at work. (Leaving aside that 2,000 more people will be taken away from their families/day jobs)

–

A question on SCOTUS decison to uphold Tennessee’s ban on all transgender medical treatment, not just surgery but medicaitons.

I thought conservatives were all about parental rights. So why are they against minors WITH parental consent from taking puberty blockers etc?

–

While we discuss mental acuity, I’m pretty sure that if President Biden had been re-elected he wouldn’t have walked out of G7 to claim he was addressing a potential war then gone home to put up flag poles at the White house…

–

After an ICE raid that arrested most of their staff, Glenn Valley Foods, which said they had used E-verify, closed their Omaha, Nebraska, beef plant this week—an operation many supermarkets rely on for their steak and burger supply.

I’m missing Fox News etc showing Americans lining up to take these meatpacking jobs now that Trump is deporting immigrants.

–

Meanwhile, should be bigger story?!

U.S. Steel shares stopped trading on NYSE after Japan’s Nippon Steel completed acquisition.

Donald has insisted companies would form “partnership” & U.S. Steel would remain US-owned.

But U.S. Steel has become wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Steel North America.”

Are we great yet?

With everything going on in the Mideast right now might be accurate but perhaps not quite as funny to say “The Colorado Rockies have won three in a row. Let’s hope this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse.”

–

Whole SF Giants team showed up to watch Rafael Devers’ introductory press conference. Alas felt too much like the hitters then just showed up to watch him bat during the game. 1 for 13 with RISP.

–

Small nice thing. The WNBA is regularly now featured in the headlines and on Sportscenter.

–

From my Twitter friend Sarah Ironside ” Good thing for Jim Jordan that trump is setting the world on fire. Maybe now no one will notice that the documentary about him covering up sexual abuse at Ohio State just came out on HBO Max.”

–

Media paid little attention to Donald Trump’s comment at G7

“The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them, That’s the ultimate protection.”

Heather Cox Richardson “Commenters often note Trump talks like mob boss, but rarely has his organized-crime style of governance been clearer…

–

With everything going on in the word, Donald posted tonight to brag that he is putting two huge flag poles on the White House lawn.


Ther question, what flags will he raise? US flags? Russian flags? Trump flags?

–

Senator John Cornyn claims it is urgent the Senate have hearings into former President Biden’s mental acuity….

At same time our current President is rage tweeting in middle of the night, name-calling other elected officials and contradicting himself on a daily basis…

–

As former Senator Bob Menendez reports to prison after being convicted on bribery charges, too soon to start the pool on when Donald will pardon him in exchange for becoming a Republican?

–

Not getting enough coverage why Mike Lee finally deleted tweets about MN assassinations He told a reporter that talking to Amy Klobuchar made difference “It was important to her I take it down. “We’re good friends. I took it down.” Reaching across aisle still matters.

(And yes, it’s sad he cared more about losing Klobuchar as a friend then the fact that two people were murdered – plus their dog – and two more were injured)

We take our amusement when we can these days:

And for now, Shohei Ohtani has a 9.00 ERA.

–

Also amusement- as of today, the first AL Wild Card belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Who are playing 2025 in a 10,000 seat stadium.

MLB usually gets about 15,000 seats per game for sponsors, VIPs, etc

–

Meanwhile, speaking of small crowds. Even the late great Montreal Expos are laughing at Donald’s birthday party crowd siz

So is anyone at Fox News brave enough to invite a lawmaker from Minnesota to come on their network?

Why aren’t other GOP Senators, starting with “Leader” Thune, telling Senators Mike Lee he went too far?

Stephen Colbert reporting tonight that analysts say #NoKings was the biggest protest in American history. So Donald got one record on his birthday!

–

Why did Donald really leave the G7 Summit early? Did they not wish him a Happy Birthday?

–

Anyone notice that Velveeta Voldemort did not spend Saturday gleefully posting pictures of his birthday party or thanking people, or wishing Americans Happy Father’s Day?

Instead he seethed over his small crowd size and went after blue states. #NoKings made wannabe king big mad.

–

Indiana Senator Jim Banks just said Monday on the Senate Floor:

“President Trump is the greatest peacemaker of my lifetime.” So 3 questions. 1. What did Donald offer Banks? 2. What did Donald threaten Banks with? 3. Or is it time to give Jim the “person, woman, man, camera, TV” test?

Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford has called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to express condolences for the murder of Melissa & Mark Hortman. Not surprisingly POTUS has not made such a call, though he has found time to insult Walz & other governors. I miss having a President.

–


Your reminder, Trump hasn’t had time nor inclination to call Tim Walz or any Minnesota lawmaker But he had time to talk on the phone for an hour to Putin.

And seen by a friend, in Los Altos, California – one of the best signs of the weekend

So many questions.

On a lighter note,

How do you get attention in baseball when you’re not part of the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets or Red Sox?

Answer, make a blockbuster trade with one of those four teams.

Welcome to San Francisco Rafael Devers.

–

And the SF Giants got out of Los Angeles with one win out of three. Besides a new slugger. And none of their players, many Latino, being arrested by ICE

–

–

And now the really serious sad stuff.

–

Hey GOP Melissa and Mark Hortman. Why can’t you say THEIR names?

And Gilbert: – their beloved Golden who had to be put down after being shot as well.

I miss having a President: “Donald still hadn’t called Gov. Tim Walz as of noon Sunday, per the governor’s spokesman. Former President Joe Biden called Walz “right away” on Saturday, the spokesman said

–

Meanwhile, Mike Lee, posted SUNDAY an awful tweet calling the (alleged) killer a marxist

This isn’t from yesterday when no one knew much about the assassin. Not only did Mike Lee just post this today, he PINNED it.

Hey Mike, two of your SENATE colleagues were on his list. And you profess to be friends with Amy Klobuchar. One, you’re lying and you know it. Two, have you no sense of decency?

–

Fox News Saturday: “Violent Portland mob injures federal officers in brazen ICE facility attack.

What Portland police actually posted ” We have been informed of 1 injury to a federal officer who did not require treatment. The situation is stable and there is no riot at this time.”

–

Also Saturday, Fox headline was about “massive military parade.” Buried lede “Thousands of Americans, including veterans, youth and dads celebrating Father’s Day, flocked to downtown D.C.” Thousands? Maybe. But sounds like more soldiers had to march than people showed up.

–


Great effort and turnout for #NoKings day Saturday

Now everyone who participated needs to put equal effort into voting and GOTV for state and local elections the rest of this year and in 2026.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.)

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.”

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?

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?”

Barry Bonds at 60 might have a better chance of an RBI than this SF Giants offense lately.

–

and anyone got Madison Bumgarner’s number?

–

Or anyone seen Annie Savoy.?

–

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…

–

Was wondering how Fox News would spin Joni Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” comment…. Surprise, they aren’t covering it at all. But Fox found time for this headline on their website “Two bikers crash into six-foot alligator on Florida interstate”

–

As Trump makes attack in Boulder about himself & blames Biden, your reminder that it is May. And Donald’s ICE has been deporting people regularly since January, including children.

Egyptian suspect was in system w/ expired visa, why couldn’t ICE/DHS find him in Colorado?

–

So would some reporter like to ask Louisiana Senators John Kennedy and Bill Cassidy about the director of FEMA not realizing the US has a hurricane season?

–

GOP Senate leader John Thune whining again on Democrats slowing down confirmation process even for noncontroversial nominees:

1. He didn’t have problem with it when Coach Tubby held up all military promotions

2. Media, you say Dems aren’t fighting, Why aren’t you covering this?!

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.

–

Well played Rep. Kenyatta. Positively Presidential.

His tweet today “HAPPY PRIDE TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST 4 MONTHS RAISING PRICES & MAKING LIFE WORSE FOR THE FAMILIES OF OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL MAGA AGENDA. BUT FEAR NOT, DEMS WILL FLIP THE HOUSE & MAKE LIFE BETTER! AGAIN, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Oklahoma City population, under 800,000.

Indianapolis population under 900,000

Together less than a NYC borough. Sorry not sorry ESPN.

–

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.

(especially as OKC star SGA is Canadian, and Eastern Conference MVP Pascal Siakam is from Cameroon.)

–

Random sports fun fact I learned tonight – Tyrese Haliburton and Brock Purdy are friends back from their days at sports powerhouse Iowa State.

–

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.”

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?

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..
