Meanwhile, in nonpolitical outrage department, Heliot Ramos, who was on 2nd & ran into an out at 3rd at what would have been infield single Sunday for Adames, just got himself picked off 2nd because he forgot infield fly rule. My son’s little league coach benched kids for that.

The SF Giants are now on a five game losing streak. Although yesterday they did get three hits with runners in scoring position (None today.) The small mercies are getting smaller.

Stephen Colbert quoting Eric Trump on his designing his dad’s newest Scottish golf course..

“We had an unlimited budget and we exceeded it..”

(yes, Eric said it)

–

Sheldon Whitehouse, telling GOP Senators how much they will regret Emil Bove vote. Bove’s been condemned by Dems & GOPs who know him. Tells story of woman who rescued a sick snake only to have him fatally bite her. “You knew when you picked me up I was a snake. It’s my nature.”

Trump’s Office of Personnel Management new memo says “during a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the nonadherent should rethink his religious beliefs.”

Does this apply to Mormons, Muslims, and Wiccans?

Had a freshman roommate who was Mormon. Many nice qualities but she was against not just alcohol but coffee and tea. Does this mean Mormon government employees can “politely” criticize their coworkers at the coffee machine and on their way to happy hours? For starters.-

Meanwhile, Oklahoma Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walker, he who wants the bible taught in all public schools, was allegedly caught playing porn on his screen during a school board meeting. He now says board members who saw the pictures of naked women on his screen lying and that Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt might have told them to lie.

As my late great stepmother used to say “We’re not perfect but they’re nuts.”

Not that I have ANY sympathy for Lindsey Graham

But now he’s going to be primaried for his South Carolina US Senate seat by Paul Dans, an architect of Project 2025. Graham may have been a very good boy for Donald, but as usual, it wasn’t good enough.

–

Whatever he says… 15% tariffs on top of the US dollar falling about 10% again the Euro since Donald took over still means much higher prices for Americans.

(There’s a reason GOP hates math, they are so bad at it.)

There was immediate pushback when Trump nominated Emil Bove to be a judge, and a whistle blower first came forward in June. Over 900 former DOJ employees wrote a letter against him.

Chuck Grassley, who will turn 92 in September, is pretending the testimony against Emil Bove is new. Is he lying, or forgetful?

–

Meanwhile retiring Senator Thom Tillis had said vote against a nominee if there was credible evidence but he hadn’t seen any against Bove. WTF?

Even Stevie Wonder could see credible evidence against Bove.

–

THREE whistleblowers now speaking out about Bove.

So far. What’s that line? If one person calls you an ass, ignore them. If two call you an ass, start looking for tracks. If three call you an ass, put on a harness.

Donald actually posted a warning tonight about the potential tsunami hitting Hawaii and the west coast…

Well, it’s a good thing his and Musk’s DOGE cuts didn’t really affect NOAA and the NWS team who could help. Oh wait, never mind.

Chuck Schumer’s finally quoted Amy Klobuchar’s simple message on the Senate floor. “Chaos up, corruption up, costs up.” Media keeps chasing latest fool’s gold shiny object Donald throws out. But chaos, corruption & ESPECIALLY costs are what really matter to Americans.
