You say it’s your birthday…

July 18, 2025

MLB on July 16

“There are no games scheduled today”

Montreal Expos twitter account “How you feel today is how we’ve felt for the last 7,591 days”

From a social media friend from London today:

It’s less what he said, it’s more that Donald cared enough about ANYONE to send a 50th birthday card.

Remember, he said he didn’t even have time to do anything for Melania other than dinner on Air Force One.

Wall Street Journal I owe you an apology, I was not familiar with your game….

(Seriously, might be a good time to support a newspaper with actual cojones by subscribing..)

Inflation rate jumped in June.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is pretending it’s good news and that prices are falling. Who you gonna believe, me or your lying bank account?


Random question. Donald he drinks Diet Coke, how would he know that Mexican Coca-Cola (which uses real sugar) is better?

Something else about the Rescissions act. If this is now precedent, means that if Democrats take the House and Senate next year, they can take back any money Trump makes GOP authorize spending for this year!

The Rescissions Act takes back money that Democrats and Republicans agreed to on a bipartisan basis. Republicans need 60 votes to pass their next budget. So why should GOP expect ANY cooperation in 2025 from Dems now that they are destroying the deal they agreed to last year?

One of the saddest things about 2025. We knew how evil Donald Trump was. We didn’t know how gutless Congressional Republicans are.

JD Vance badmouthed Disney as “woke” and “declaring war on America’s children.” But he took his kids to Disneyland. As JD cast the deciding vote to allow Trump’s efforts to defund PBS to proceed, will Vance now get his kids bootleg feeds of Sesame Street?

In 1543, Henry VIII made it a crime for most English people to read the Bible in English. The point was to avoid questioning of the King’s interpretation of Scripture, or indeed questioning of him period. Sound familiar with Donald cutting education & public broadcasting?

Asked a wise reporter decades ago why a politician – would be engaged in a coverup that no one believed and that was hurting him politically: He said, simple, if the truth is actually worse than he thinks people imagine it is.

If Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a “terrible Fed chair” can we fire the idiot who appointed him?”

This isn’t hard: Donald NEVER releases anything negative about his own health. He won’t even release the truth about his height and weight. Admitting an illness to distract from Epstein files must mean the files are very bad indeed.

Au revoir Olympics

August 11, 2024

As the games move in 2028 to Los Angeles, a question. What excuse will NBC use for showing all the games on a tape-delay basis in the US?

And Team USA hung on for a 67-66 victory today in the Gold medal game against France when France’s Gabby Williams hit a buzzer-beater at the end of the game, with her foot ON the three-point line, making it a two point shot.

Besides being happy forTteam USA winning the Gold, many of us can also be happy we don’t have to hear four years of “if they had only put Caitlin Clark on the team..”

(And I love Caitlin Clark. But yeah, enough.)

So has Donald Trump said yet if he had competed how many Olympic medals he would have won?

Meanwhie, while SF Giants have been winning dramatic late inning games lately, since the All-Star break they’ve been hitting .192 with RISP, (runners in scoring position) ahead of only the Chicago White Sox at .179.

.192? Though perhaps I speak for other SF Giants fans when I say “Really, that high?”

(they were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position Sunday)

Trump now claiming in his fundraising email: 24 HOURS UNTIL THE INTERVIEW OF THE CENTURY (with Elon Musk) Not only will this not be the interview of the century, with Rachel Maddow on Monday it won’t even be the interview of the night.

Trump is more done than an overcooked steak he puts ketchup on at Mar-A-Lago #TrumpIsDone

Death of irony alert for day: J.D. Vance attacks Kamala Harris & Tim Walz “they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better.” Could SOME so-called journalist ask JD how he feels about Trump’s nicknames for rivals?

Death of irony alert for day:

J.D. Vance attacks Kamala Harris & Tim Walz “they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better.”

Some statements don’t even need a punchline.

Since Fox News is asking ‘Who is Tim Walz?” why don’t we let Minnesotans answer question? Which they did in 2022. Walz won re-election by 7.7 %, larger margin than Joe Biden won state by in 2020. They know him, they trust him, they know Walz gets stuff done – with a smile.

GOP loves to claim they support our troops.

But if you DO join the military. They’ll hold up your promotions to make political points. They’ll fight against your veterans’ benefits. And if you go into politics as a Dem, they’ll find a way to attack you over your service.
