Selection Sunday

March 15, 2026

So in 2026 does it mean the teams picked for the NCAA basketball tournament?

Or the next country Trump will attack to distract from the Epstein files.

Allthough in the tournament, while there are few sure things, one sure thing is that even with the field expanded to 68 teams, there will always be fury from teams the selection committee decided were #69 or #70.

One of many reasons to love sports As bad as the real world can get, for a few minutes or even an hour on any given day you can shut the rest of it out to focus on things like “nice shot,” or “please don’t blow this lead.” Or as a Spurs fan “Wow,Wemby is not human.” #porvida

Just for fun, on 3/14 wish someone had asked Donald Trump on camera about Pi Day?

Not that it will happen, but would make for interesting March Madness pools if playeers had to name at least one player on each team

Colin Jost on NBC SNL talking on how Trump claims USA supposedly won the Iran war on day one.
“Usually when a team wins they don’t stay on the field for three weeks

Daily Mail headline:
“Chaos at PGA tour event as gunman shoots dead two & flees across course”

Story will fade fast. Why? Because it was domestic violence murder by a Floridian.

Most women victims are domestic violence. GOP doesn’t give a damn. Only women killed by immigrants.

Wow. Fox News headline:

“Trump gives new order to countries that use world’s most important oil checkpoint.”

What he’s “ordering?”

“Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage & we will help.”

In other words – fix MY mess

How many Americans are going to die in the Mideast because Donald needed to start a war to distract from the Epstein Files?

President who demands Nobel Peace Prize has so far gotten at least 13 US servicemembers killed & hundreds injured in a war he can’t explain. Yet some still support him.

If it ever seemed unbelievable how Jim Jones got all those people to drink the Kool-Aid, we believe it now.

Pete Hegseth actually said Friday about the US refueling plane crash: “Bad things can happen.”

I’m sure that’s very comforting to family and friends of the six service members killed in the crash

But wonder why most Fox News viewers haven’t soured on Trump

Fox News webpage doesn’t have a single front page headline about the Strait of Hormuz.

But they find time for this:

Tough and not so tough

Turns out tha Team USA hockey star Hilary Knight ompeted in 2026 Winter Olympics with a torn MCL

Weaker sex my a**.

With all eyes on Texas Ttuesday night would like to take a moment to say that whichever side of the aisle (or whatever side of your primary) you are on…

The San Antonio Spurs are currently a great diversion and a helluva lot of fun to watch. (Unless tonight you were a 76ers fan)

GOP made mistake in Texas tonight

Very clear they’re trying to suppress vote.

But by pulling stupid stunts like changing voting locations & not posting them, they gave Democrats advance warning there’ll be dirty tricks in November.

Voters now KNOW to vote as early as possible.

Dear Pam Bondi :

You said we should not be talking about Epstein because the Dow was over 50k It’s now at 48,500

So what time tomorrow will you be releasing more unredacted Epstein files?

So Rubio is now saying Trump had to attack because Netanyahu was going to attack.?

Forget USA making Canada the 51st state.

The USA apparently has now become Israel’s seventh administrative district..

Today Trump said “I had a feeling” Iran would attack first.

Amazed he didn’t say, “Big strong men with tears in their eyes told me to start a war…”

Wait, Trump claims he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear weapons program last summer

And now he claims they were ‘one month from a nuclear weapon.’

Impressive recovery if true..

A tale of 2 states in headlines.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani & Governor Kathy Hochul Announce 2,000 Free Child Care Seats for 2-Year-Olds Starting Fall 2026

‘Florida Surgeon General Announces End to School Vaccine Requirements for Children”

DEMOCRATS actually care about life.

Thom Tillis to Kristi Noem

“I read your book
I train dogs, you’re a farmer & should know better.
14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years
You decided to kill that dog because you hadn’t invested appropriate time to train it. Then you had audacity to brag about it.”

Glad he’s stepping up. Shame Senator Tillis didn’t find his spine earlier when he had a chance to vote again Noem, and Hegseth.

WTAF?

Now Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump’s preemptive strike on Iran stopped ‘staggering’ US casualties.

Does he mean that Trump and Republicans hope to stop “staggering” GOP casualties in the midterm?

While the British government is sending planes to rescue their citizens, U.S is saying U.S. citizens should immediately leave the 12 MidEast countries… “using available commercial travel”

Uh, WHAT available commercial travel?

So many canceled flights…

While the US government, well, Trump is talking about his ballroom and statues.

World’s busiest airport for international travel? Dubai

It handles 95 million passengers a year. Major connecting hub, even for Americans, to Africa, Asia, etc.

Popular with business & leisure travelers. Now it’s closed indefinitely. Add airline travel to the #ETTD list.

Pete Hegseth this morning, on comparisons to Iraq,

“Our generation knows better and so does this President.”

And he said it with a straight face.

So are we going to need a bingo card for all the various rationales Trump is throwing out here as to WHY he needed to bomb Iran?

Rumors and rumours…

February 19, 2026

Despite Twitter rumors, the Seattle Seahawks have NOT issued a public statement on if they are or not not going to the White House.

Meanwhile, in 257 days, we have midterms. We can make the occupant of the White House less important.

CNN tightening rules on staff promoting their own books on air after Jake Tapper’s “Original Sin.”

Nice job of closing barn door behind the horse.

But wonder, with CNN now currying favor with White House, does one of their staff have a blistering book coming out on Trump?

Trump on Herschel Walker today

“Now he’s ambassador to the Bahamas. I don’t know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It’s a nice place.”

So Donald is saying not only is he not capable of running the country, he’s not even capable of being a decent travel agent.

So would either Senator Majority Leader John Thune or House Speaker Mike Johnson like to remind Americans of when Congress voted to authorize war with Iran?

I’ll wait.

So if Trump decides NOT to go to war with Iran will he declare again that he should have the Nobel Peace Prize?


US EPA plans to loosen mercury rules for coal plants this week

As DHS plans to go after naturalized citizens who registered to vote before they were actually able to vote…

Anyone who’s ever done voter registration with teenager knows- you are allowed to register early at 17. It’s not a crime. As long as you are eligible on election day.

Trump on Herschel Walker today

“Now he’s ambassador to the Bahamas. I don’t know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It’s a nice place.”

So Donald is saying not only is he not capable of running the country, he’s not even capable of being a decent travel agent.


What’s particularly funny, neither the Bahamas nor Bermuda are in the Caribbean Sea… And they are about as different as island destinations near the US can be…

If there’s GOP member of Congress or Trump’s administration who feels slighted by Stephen Colbert perhaps he/she should reach out for an interview.

Pretty sure Colbert will find room for them. (Most are cowering from their own constituents and/or non-right wing outlets.)

Questions questions?

June 23, 2025

Have to wonder, did we bomb Iran because someone called Trump TACO?

Or because he’s still pouting over no one showing up at his birthday party?

Ratings for NBA finals through game seven were historically bad. First six games “far averaged about the same audience as the 2023 Rangers-Diamondbacks World Series — an infamously low-rated matchup that averaged 9.11 million for its full five-game run ?

Maybe one thing that could help? Stop separating the games by 3 days each? (Feels like longer) Wonder how many fans have their interest piqued by a game, and then can’t even remember when the next game is?

Max Scherzer, 40, who hasn’t pitched since he started a game in March, is supposed to come off the 60 day IL to start for Toronto Blue Jays next week. Will Maxd get his first 2025 win before SF Giants’ Justin Verlander, 42

Am reminded of a sign I saw as a child at a Vietnam war protest in Toronto: “Bombing for peace is like f*cking for virginity.”

The same MAGA who think Padilla should get over being called Jose by JD Vance lost their minds over TACO Trump.

Top Democrats in Gang of Eight (House & Senate leaders & ranking members House Senate Intelligence Committee), were not briefed before Trump bombed Iran – but all 4 Republicans were. All Eight are supposed to be notified. It’s a law.

SHOULD infuriate people on bipartisan basis. Will it?

United Kingdom says while they were not involved in bombing Iran, ministers confirm govt was informed before strikes happened. So Trump told Great Britain in advance, but no Democratic member of USA’s own Gang of Eight, as he is required to do. This should be a bigger story.


While Trump is living out his mad King fantasies with Iran, the Big Beautiful Betrayal is still alive in the Senate. Four GOP Senators need to step up and say no to the insanity.
