Shutting down

November 11, 2025

RIP Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, 84. Paul kept Saints in New Orleans when owner wanted to move to San Antonio. He also instituted Rooney rule, requiring NFL teams to interview minority & female candidates. How long until Trump refers to Tagliabue as a sucker & loser?

LSU Tigers are a disappointing 5-3. The Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry got both LSU’s athletic director Scott Woodward basically fired after HE fired Brian Kelly . The school apparently is now seeking to fire Kelly “for cause” and potentially avoid paying a full buyout of nearly $54 million.

Can they all lose?

Trump is now attacking and threatening air traffic controllers who have called in sick or taken time off during the shutdown. And praising those who have worked every saying he wants to give them a $10,000 bonus. Now, they probably won’t get the bonus.

But why isn’t the media asking “Those who stayed and never called in sick could afford to miss a paycheck or two. Why are you punishing the most in need?”

And Velveeta Voldemort is now still trying asking Supreme Court to let him not pay all the SNAP money. He is actually fighting not to feed hungry people – including women and children and seniors.

And not just not feed hungry people. Not feed hungry Americans. Just in case anyone justified the USAID cuts as only killing poor people in other parts of the world.

He also now says the east wing of the White House was “despanded”.

How long until the today’s GOP can be “despanded?

Whatever you think of the “deal” to open government ,can we stop with the narrative that moderate Democrats caved? Some moderate Democrats voted yes.

But Amy Klobuchar, Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Ruben Gallego and Mark Warner – for starters – are not far-left. And they voted to keep fighting.

Everyone in America agrees the cost of healthcare is too high. But the way to fix it is NOT to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance now. There’s an adult solution. Extend the ACA subsidies, THEN work on ways to make them less necessary in future.

And if Trump’s “die in debt” 50 year mortgage idea isn’t bad enough, now he’s considering a 15 year car loan. (The average car only lasts 12 years.) How many debtors’ prisons are Donald’s rich friends building?

Trump’s latest strike brings total of people murdered in boats to 75. All “alleged” narco-terrorists. Considering that he sent gay makeup artist to El Salvador over tattoos & his ICE has detained US citizens, anyone want to hazard a guess how many innocents Donald has killed?


How long until we get the “Don’t blame me I voted for her” bumper stickers again?

Small mercies Supreme Court rejected Kim Davis’s appeal to overturn legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Of course, maybe a woman married 4 times with 4 children, none biologically fathered by her current husband, might have not been the best plaintiff.

And again –
Millions of Americans not only depend on ACA/Obamacare. Many Americans have no idea they are using ACA/Obamacare.

Kynect, Pennie, Covered California, MNsure, Georgia Access, Nevada Health Link, Healthcare .gov All of these ARE the ACA/Obamacare


Remember when Joe Biden was President and we could go a whole 24 hours without thinking “Now what the f*ck did he do today?”
