Looking for a reason in the SF Bay Area to jump on the San Antonio Spurs bandwagon?

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson was a college point guard from 2005-2009.

At Stanford.

Kristi Noem now says she “looks forward to working with senior administration officials to dismantle transnational criminal networks.

Can she start by dismantling the transnational criminal network in the White House?

–

Markwayne Mullen has been nominated for DHS Secretary and Tommy Tuberville is running for Governor of Alabama.

Which will create an opening!

Who will take the title of dumbest US Senator?

–

Wow. Trump actually fired Kristi Noem.

We joke sometimes about going home and kicking dogs.

Seriously hope all dogs anywhere near Kristi have good security.

—

So let me get this straight.

One of many excuses for bombing Iran is Donald’s claim that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump.”

And now Trump is saying HE must interfere & be involved in picking the new Iranian leader?!!!

–

Texas GOP rep Tony Gonzales now admits to having affair, calls it a ‘mistake’ & ‘lapse of judgment’

Does ANYONE, espec. based on tone of his texts, think Regina was his 1st affair?

She was former staffer so an ethics violation.

She died after setting herself on fire.

(And now he dropped out of his re-election bid..)

–

Amy Klobuchar tonight on Senate hearing that may have been last straw for Kristi Noem’s tenure at DHS.

“When people ask, why do those hearings matter?”
They do. “

Especially when Senators’ question & Noem’s answers get coverage like this one did.

Democracy dies in darkness.

–

52 Senators voted to let Trump take their power to declare war yesterday

Remember this when more Americans start coming home in body bags.

–

Senator Patty Murray on Presidential Priorities::
“Trump has clearly put more thought and caring and planning into this White House ballroom than he has into the war with Iran.”

–

Increasingly feels like Donald Trump does not want the United States of America to outlive him.

–

Wonder what would happen if the Nobel committee offered to give Trump the Peace Prize if he resigns the Presidency.

–

Hey Americans who voted for Trump because of inflation & his promises of lower prices.

Asked about rapidly spiking gas prices.
“They’ll drop very rapidly when this is over & if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit.”

–

One thing that Trump may regret:
With all these stranded Americans, tourists & business travelers, along with tourists & others who have had to cancel future trips, including safaris, honeymoons, vacations… this time Donald has harmed & upset some relatively wealthy people.

LeBron James, 41, became the oldest player in NBA history to have a triple-double tonight.

So for his 10th rebound in the 4th quarter, did he scream at younger players. “Get off my lane?

–

As Spring Training approaches apparently many MLB teams started trying to get their Venezuelan players back to the US in January due to visa issues. And Dominican Republic players had to start early too. Even with priority processing- and exemptions for Venezuelan athlete, apparently there have been delays.

Does anyone still think the US can pull off a World Cup?

Curling has an ever increasing fan base

Makes sense. Not that it’s an easy sport but have to think armchair athletes have to think they have a better chance of placing that shot rock than of landing a quadruple lutz.

–

As ICE claims to be withdrawing from Minneapolis, your reminder.. ICE actually killed two citizens, abducted a little boy in a bunny hat, and threatened residents for a month. And they still couldn’t provoke the riot they wanted to invoke martial law.

This will go down as one of the great non-violent displays of resistance in recent US history

–

Now even WSJ did expose on Kristi Noem’s bad behavior… (not just her doing a bad job.) – An inappropriate relationship with her also married chief of staff, fury at not being on TV enough, trying to fire a pilot for leaving her blanket on her private plane…

Why does she still have a job. Though maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise… shooting a puppy and bragging about it would have disqualified her from being hired by any decent person.

Judge just blocked DOD reducing Senator Mark Kelly’s rank and says Hegseth is “unlawfully retaliating.”

“To say the least our retired veterans deserve more respect from our government and our constitution demands they receive it!”

Am sure Hegseth & Trump will take this in a calm mature fashion

–

Trump will now limit Small Business Administration loans to U.S. citizens, barring green card holders.

Immigrants create twice as many small businesses as Americans, & small busineses create 2/3 of new US jobs.

Guess Donald thinks only business that should be owned by foreigners is his Presidency.

–

Amy Klobuchar with a fact tonight on with Jen Psaki that should resonate with all Americans, not just Minnesotans.

ICE’s reign of terror is not free. GOP put taxpayers are on the hook for $75 billion extra to them.

Think about that if you can’t afford healthcare.

–

Oklahoma Senator Lankford in Senate hearing yesterday: “What about all the people ICE/CBP doesn’t murder?

Isn’t that like “What about all the people Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t eat?”

–

Kristi Noem is having a Press Conference Friday, 2/13, in Phoenix, Arizona on election security??!

Well, Astronaut Senator Mark Kelly has made Donald Trump look bad lately, so his state of Arizona probably jumped to the top of the retribution line..

–

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt is very conservative, anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-Medicaid expansion etc.. But he said the National Governor’s Association, which he heads, will not go to the White House after Trump disinvited Democratic Governors.

So of course Trump attacked him on social media Per Donald apparently having a sense of right and wrong makes you a RINO now.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson is claiming Democrats are stealing elections everywhere.

Uh, some of GOP biggest losses recently have been in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma!!

Is he out of his mind or does he think voters are?

–

Federal judges in upstate New York appointed Donald Kinsella as U.S. attorney in Northern District of NY Wednesday. Trump fired him hours later. For being too competent or too honest?

So per NY Times AND WSJ, the whistleblower’s classified intelligence report allegedly buried by Tulsi Gabbard involved Jared Kushner…

“I’m shocked” said nobody.

–

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

So the question – bribed or threatened?

–

Not sure that “It’s okay if rich men and politicians rape little girls as long as the Dow hits 50,000″ is the flex Pam Bondi thinks it is.”
