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.

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.”

Friday night Wilmer Flores won the game for SF Giants with 8 RBI’s on 3 home runs. (Giants won 9-1)

Tonight he Wilmer won the game with an RBI bases loaded walk.

Baseball is a very funny game.

–

Flores has 42 RBIs, Judge now has 41.

Arson Judge: 2025 Salary $40,000,000

Wilmer Flores: 2025 Salary: $3,500,000

–

Wilmer Flores now has seven career grand slams. To put this in perspective, Barry Bonds only had 11.

–

Guess we’re not going to hear MAGA crow about Journalism after today’s race. #Preakness150

–

There have been major wildfires in Minnesota Tornados did major damage and killed at least 27 people in Missouri and Kentucky

Meanwhile our President is ranting on line about Taylor Swift, Bruce Springstein & SCOTUS justices he himself appointed.

I miss Consoler-in-Chief Joe Biden.

–

As New Jersey Transit engineers strike enters its second day, have to think Joe Biden, who loves trains and unions, would have brokered a deal by now.

–

Donold also posted an AI video of himself performing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

Journey is a San Francisco band who has already told one member not to perform for Trump. Lawsuit coming in 3.2.1….

–

But both Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have spoken up strongly in last week about Trump & his administration trying nonstop distraction. And media ignores their warnings and takes the bait.

–

“So grandpa, why is USA no longer considered a world power? “Well, you see, sonny, we elected a mad tyrant bent on destroying our country from within but people and the media were too focused on the previous President being old…”

And then there’s the faux outrage on the seashells 8647 picture James Comey posted.

A meaning I remember of 86 from my waitress days is “sold out”

And after this week watching him kissing up to Mideast royalty in exchange for a plane & no doubt other promises, thinking millions of American can agree that Donald has definitely sold out

–

FBI reportedly moving 1,500 personnel from D.C., closing storied headquarters

Kash Patel lives in Las Vegas. What’s he going to do? Demand the federal government build a new FBI headquarters on the Strip?

–

Fox News never missed a chance to attack President Biden when the economy had so much as a hiccup. Now for the first time in history, Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. credit rating from Aaa to Aa1.

Fox News. Crickets.

–

Really interesting that none of the three judges Trump appointed are backing him on his most egregious acts. (Alito, appointed by W. and Thomas, appointed by his dad, are Donald’s most steadfast disciples.)

–

SNL season 50 finale tonight – James Austin Johnson as Trump in cold open “See you in the fall… if we still a country.”

Teoscar Hernández -34 – 2025 salary $23.5 million

Aaron Judge – 34 – 2025 salary $40 million

Wilmer Flores – 33 – 2025 salary $3.5 million.

Best value in baseball #SFGiants

There were times that it looked like Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t going to lose in the playoffs.

Now it looks like they might not lose again.

–

All you need to know about how stretched out the NBA Playoff season is…. Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has a hamstring injury and will be out at “least a week.” In a seven game series, if his injury lasts eight days, he will miss two more games.

–

JD Vance actually “joked” that the USA would deport visitors who come here to watch the FIFA World Cup. As if soccer fans felt good about coming to the US as it is.

First he broke the National Championship trophy, now VP is breaking World Cup ticket sales,

–

United Airlines, which has 65% of the flights at Newark, donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration… They must be so pleased.

–

How much would we all like to be flies on the wall when Canadian PM Mark Carney gets home and into a private place to talk about his visit to Trump’s White House?

So what’s Velveeta Voldemort going to do to distract from the fact that Donald is not going to be elected Pope?

–

Trumps’s new surgeon general nominee is Casey Means who withdrew from her medical residency at age 30.

She is anti-vax, and thinks you can stay healthy by focusing on metabolic health and glucose testing?! And Laura Loomer got rid of the original nominee for being too pro-vaccine?

We’re living in a bad SNL skit.

–

“Just heard about it….They’ve been fighting for many years, many decades actually… I just hope it ends quickly.” Donald Trump on India-Pakistan being on the brink of war… Do we feel safe yet?

–

So how many more fighter jets have to fall off US aircraft carriers before even Republicans decide that DOD Secretary Pete Hegseth is really really bad at his job?

–

Does Donald realize that calling California’s governor “Gavin Newscum” at a Press Conference is much more demeaning to him as President than it is to Newsom?

Former RFK Jr. running mate Nicole Shanahan: “I don’t know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on.”

He apparently promised her neither surgeon general nominee Casey Means nor her brother would be part of his administration.

Man who cheated on his ex-wife and his current wife and who has been disowned by his family might not be trustworthy? Who knew?
