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.”
