Down and almost out?

April 25, 2024

Well, it looks like Lebron James and Steph Curry will both have plenty of time to rest up for the Paris Olympics.

–

Ever feel depressed because some days you don’t think you are good at your job.

Save copies of all these NFL pundits making definitive statements on what teams made the best decisions in the draft

–

Are MAGA SCOTUS judges possibly telling President Joe Biden that regardless of the November vote count Joe can just declare himself the winner and stay in office? And have Donald Trump arrested while he’s at it?

–

–

Harriet Miers is looking better and better.

–

Sad news. Delaine Eastin, first woman to serve as California’s superintendent of public instruction, dead at 76.

Delaine Eastin was underrated. She used to give the kind of speeches that made you proud to be a Democrat!

–

Delaine Eastin would say “this state runs on other people’s children”. She understood how important public education is in California, even when other people didn’t. One of her best stories – a woman who asked “why do I care if my carpenter knows geometry?

Preferred Bradley in 2000, but voted for Al Gore.

Nader voters got us George W. Bush. He chose Roberts & Alito.

Voted for Clinton in 2016.

Jill Stein voters got us Donald Trump

He chose Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Barrett.

When will we ever learn? Biden is the ONLY option. #SCOTUS

Bad endings

April 11, 2024

Tom Brady says he’s ‘not opposed’ to a late-season NFL return.

What about as a captain for the Pro Bowl?

–

Hey media, You’re devoting countless hours to the life of a man credibly accused of 2 murders (& convicted in civil court of those murders.)

How about focusing some time & attention on the lives of Nicole Brown Simpson & Ron Goldman?

And about seriousness of domestic violence.

–

What next? Will Trump ask for a delay in his trial by claiming he was planning to ask O.J. Simpson to be his running mate?

–

At the Masters’ Club dinner last night, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson talked about “wonderful experience” with everyone together, and lamented the state of golf amid PGA-LIV rift.

You know who was unavailable to give an opinion on the problems caused by Saudi tour? Jamal Khashoggi.

–

Add Chris Sinunu to arrogant white male GOP idiot list, saying “let’s leave abortion to states” “I don’t think this is going to be a driver, as big an issue as in 2022. There’s been problems here & there… “

Problems here & there?” Is Sinunu that stupid, or does he think we are?

–

USA Today “Mike Johnson and Donald Trump to promote bill to prevent non-citizens from voting.”

Better headline – Non-citizens cannot vote in federal elections. Johnson & Trump to promote dishonest bill to rile up their base.”

–

Today Trump called Michael Cohen &r Stormy Daniels “two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!” Uh, Velveeta Voldemort,

Michael has receipts. And as for Stormy – suggest you not f*ck with someone who has f*cked for a living.

–

ESPN analyst Bomani Jones on O.J. Simpson “If 1994 doesn’t happen we’re having a much different discussion obviously…” Yep, and if April 15, 1865 doesn’t happen John Wilkes Booth might have been remembered as a good actor.

–

Mike Johnson warned that an effort to oust him from his Speakership post “would be chaos in the House.” So different from the House present state how exactly?

–


Trying to wrap my head around mens’ reaction if Democrats said that the legality of Viagra was a state’s rights issue.

Waiting for reinforcements.

February 24, 2024

Victor Wembanyama last night became 2nd NBA rookie to have 5×5 game — posting at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals & 5 blocks in a game. And while it’s been a rough year, next year San Antonio should have another lottery pick rookie to go with Wemby

=

Trump speaking to Black conservatives went off on tangent as to if Barry Bonds or Babe Ruth held baseball home run record. Donald said it was Bonds but added “In front of another group, I may be with the Babe.” He’s not just a racist, he’s an idiot.
Number #2 on the all-time Home Run list is Hank Aaron

.

NY Times TOP headline online this morning: “Costs of two years of war in Ukraine have been enormous. But many Russians are feeling optimistic. How many positive signs for US economy does

@nytimes headline: “Many Americans” supposedly still feeling negative, especially about Joe Biden

–

Something else on President Biden vs Trump & their ages.

Joe has family who loves him. And it’s very clear Jill watches out for him, encourages him to eat healthily, get rest, exercise; as we all hope our partners do for us.

Does anyone love Donald and would he listen anyway?

Satan is trending over on Twitter.. Has he been floated as a possible Donald Trump 2024 running mate?

–

If you had any doubt for Dean Phillips it’s all about HIM & his hubris, he’s now comparing himself to Liz Cheney as equal sort of political martyrs for their beiefs, and he’s now moved his ageism beyond Joe Biden to say Amy Klobuchar, 63, shouldn’t run for another term in Senate. Klobuchar is one of most effective leaders Democrats have.

Dean gives mediocre white men a bad name

Too soon to start a pool on when Dean Phillips will become a pundit for Fox? Or – he’s a multimillionaire with family money – when he’ll move to a red state and declare himself a Republican before running for office there?

–

Ron DeSantis’s handpicked. Florida surgeon general is anti-vaccine, and now defying science amid measles outbreak in the state, saying parents can decide whether to keep their kids home from school or not when they are sick WITH MEASLES.

I miss the days Florida Man was only a danger to himself.

–

Still no word from Mike and Karen Pence, who have three children they love all conceived by IVF, about the Alabama Supreme Court decision, which would basically ban the process. We’re waiting.

Not all starry

February 18, 2024

Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu’s three point shooting contest was a lot of fun.

Can anyone name anything else at NBA All-Star weekend worth watching.

–

And from the NBA’s MEN’s three -point line Sabrina beats or ties any NBA male player not named Steph. Just saying.

–

Apparently Lebron James, not completely happy in with the Lakers, does still want to play with his son Bronny. But it would be tough for King James, if traded, to play with another established star. So maybe Lebron can get himself traded to San Antonio.. Wemby is too young still to challenge his authority, the Spurs should have high draft picks, and James can finish his career with GOAT coach Popovich.

–

While Greg Abbott and his MAGA followers slash funding for public education… the University of Texas will approve a contract extension for Longhorns football coach Steve Sarkisian that will nearly double his annual compensation to more than $10 million per season through 2030.

Texas, where the state bird is the football and the state tree is the goalpost.

–

Alexei Navalny gave his life to fight against Vladimir Putin’s tyranny. House GOP won’t even give up a day of their two-week vacation.

–

WTF? Nikki Haley. “Congress is failing because they’re making it sound like you have to choose between Ukraine & Israel or securing the border They’re lying to American people. That’s false premise. We can do both.” Who wants to tell her WHO scuttled bipartisan bill doing both?

–

OTOH “I don’t want to be on pages of history we’ll regret if we walk away. You’ll see alliance supporting Ukraine crumble. You’ll ultimately see China become emboldened. I am not going to be on that page of history.” Another liberal angry at House GOP?

Nope. NC GOP Senator Thom Tillis

So I guess it’s consistent that a guy who massively overstates the value of his properties would also massively overstate the value of his gaudy cheap looking gold sneakers.

So is Donald Trump selling golden sneakers to wear for golden showers? Or has anyone told him they’re gaudy enough the most likely buyers are drag queens.

–

Another Washington post nominee for Pulitzer Prize in “both sides” journalism.

This headline “White House medical unit under Trump & Obama flouted rules, improperly dispensed drugs, reports find.”

Except the doctor noted is Ronny Jackson, Donald’s buddy & now GOP Representative from Texas.

–

Tim Scott called Putin a murderous dictator & “we need strong leadership coming from America that actually pushes back against Russia & other dictators.” Then added that the one man for that job was Donald Trump. Time to give Tim Scott the “person, woman, man, camera, TV test”?

–

I could do a post a day by quoting Trump with the caption “Imagine if President Biden said this…”

Donald yesterday “Michigan, get out and vote on November 27th

(The Michigan primary is in February, not November)

This should get more coverage. “Both Japan & United Kingdom just said their economies weakened during last 3 months of 2023, 2nd straight quarter this happened – ie a recession.. But in US, economy motored ahead in last 3 months -6th straight quarter of growth.” #ThankYouBiden

–

On Meet the Press Sunday, Amy Klobuchar strongly defended President Biden while Kristen Welker kept badgering her with nonstop questions about alleged polls and attacks on Joe’s age.

Senator Klobuchar is a baseball fan, so she knows Bryce Harper. And while she’s too professional to have quoted him this am, would not have faulted Amy Klobuchar at all had she responded to Kristen Welker at some point “That’s a clown question, bro.”

Not so sure things

December 26, 2023

If you ever feel nervous about media political predictions, which are often delivered with serious certainty, looking at pundits talking about sports with equal certainty is one form of reality check.

As in, didn’t they all have the Diamondbacks and the Rangers in the World Series.

And on the Christmas Day NFL games, yes, the pundits did get the Eagles over the Giants. (though not close to covering the 13 point spread.) But we all “knew” the Chiefs would beat the lowly Raiders, and the 49ers -Ravens game was going to be close…

–

Well, most people had one of the Raiders and 49ers winning on Christmas Day. Just not the one who did.

–

Comment by a San Francisco television station on a two touchdown loss to the Baltimore Ravens by the 49ers.

“This is a bad time for a bad loss.”

Uh, not as bad as a bad loss in January…

–

Although as a Saints fan, and as someone with nothing against Brock Purdy, can we please stop the Drew Brees comparisons? You’re welcome. And Who Dat.

–

Any sports fan parents who despairs of having raising children who are fans but who also understand complicated math? Suggest asking them to discuss NFL potential Wild Card options especially. (And my guess- when kids don’t think it’s math,they get it better than their parents.)

President Biden’s Christmas message “

“This Christmas Eve, my wish for you and your family is that you take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness that’s at the center of the Christmas story, “May you find peace in this silent night. And warmth from those surrounding you.”

–

The Former Guy’s Christmas message. referenced ”the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. Merry Christmas.”

Jesus wept.

–


Christmas reminder. Mary and Joseph were refugees, who became refugees with a baby.

Imagine the Chiristmas story if they were in Texas.

The prize is right?

December 7, 2023

Thursday night will be the NBA in-tournament semi-finals in Las Vegas, followed by the finals on Saturday.

So will whoever ends up winning this thing, will they hoist some sort of championship banner?

–

Good news for Zach Wilson – he’s starting this weekend.

Bad new for Zach Wilson, he’s still going to be QB1 on the NY Jets.

–

The real winner of tonight’s GOP debate? President Joe Biden To quote my late great stepmother: “We’re not perfect but they’re nuts.”

–

Two things can be equally true: 1. Nikki Haley dealt with misogyny in Wednesday night’s GOP Debate.

2. Just because the other Republicans (men) piled on her doesn’t mean she’s wouldn’t be an awful President.

–

So will someone explain to me how the same GOP who worries about our young people being traumatized by books in schools, doesn’t worry about young people being traumatized by the thought of being shot at schools?

–

Polls consistently show that a large majority of Americans and even about half of Republicans want assault rifles banned. (And most Americans believe in things like expanding background checks and closing gun show loopholes.)

And yet GOP in Congress still resists even more controls on such weapons. Why? GOP has become wholly owned arm of NRA.

–

Dana Bash on CNN, claiming that despite good economic signs “Biden administration is trying to tell voters how to feel and it isn’t working.” Meanwhile no matter what the news is CNN will tell voters why it’s bad news for Biden

–

Hawaii Senator. Brian Schatz on GOP insanity on Ukraine.”The idea if we don’t concede on wholly unrelated matter then Putin wins in land war in Europe… To my friends in media “STOP pretending this is normal.” “I could hold up foreign aid over climate change. But I don’t, I’m not bananas.”

–

Senator Patty Murray- calling out GOP for going back on their word for the budget deal they made earlier this year which House Republicans negotiated with President Biden. “When you negotiate a deal you don’t then bargain on how much of your word you’re going to keep.

–

Trying to imagine Ronald Reagan saying “Mr. Gorbachev, unless Democrats approve my tax cuts, don’t do anything to that wall.”

–

Today’s GOP, sadly, would have probably demanded after December 7, 1941 that FDR rescind Social Security Act to get approval and funding to declare war
