Strong man

January 29, 2026

Victor Wembanyama’s full comments today on the shooting of another civilian by federal agents in Minneapolis:

“PR (Spurs Public Relations) has tried. but I’m not going to sit here and give some politcally correct . Every day I see the news and I’m horrified. I think it’s crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it’s acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable….. It’s terrible. I know I’m a foreigner, but I live in this counrtry and I am concerned.”

–

Then Wemby went out and led the Spurs to a big comeback win over the Houston Rockets. (28 pts, 16 rebounds, 5 blocks.)

Hope Gregg Popovich was watching the comments and his play.

–

Trump is bragging that he will give every U.S Citizen child now born in the US $1000 in a “Trump account.”

$1000 won’t even cover a month of infant child care in the US.

–

It’s a scary time to be a person of color in the United States

But for someone looking for a safe space for a couple hours, maybe buy a theater ticket to the Melania movie. No one will be in there.

–

In case it’s a matter of not learning geography, here’s a map for DHS/ICE

Note the Southern Border. Minnesota is far enough but of the lower 48 no state is further than Maine.

Life in right-wing bubble:
Daily Mail headline today

“”Shameful past of madman who squirted Ilhan Omar with syringe, as his lengthy rap sheet & VERY woke children are revealed
Andy Kazmierczak, 55, is a MAGA faithful w/ liberal children & lengthy rap sheet.”

–

The man regularly posted pro-Trump stuff on social media, but so i’s his KIDS’ fault?

–

–

Louisiana Senator GOP John Kennedy says of immigrants “no one is above the law.”

Could some reporter ask Kennedy how we’ve missed his outrage over all the million and billion dollar fraudsters who Donald has pardoned?

–

Melania actually said today on Fox News of her husband “He’s a unifier not just here in the United States.”

This is true, he has unified most of the free world against the United States of America.

–

Meanwhile, forget undocumented immigrants, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said state would investigate public agencies & universities that employ those with H-1B visas.

Well this ought to be great for the Texas tech industry

–

Now some have seized on a video of Alex Pretti kicking out an ICE tail light after Renee Good’s death as justification for his being shot to death.

So car damage is a capital offense?

Unless you’re MAGA.

Then you can be armed with a knife trying to break into House Chambers at the US Capitol and when you get shot resisting police orders you become a martyr.

–

Some days it feels like there is no good news.

But today.

  1. Wordle in 1.
  2. Adam Kinzinger started following me
  3. San Antonio Spurs come back from down 16 to beat the Houston Rockets.

Small and not so small mercies.

Learning experience.

October 15, 2025

Even if think you don’t care much about Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays it’s worth watching the ALCS.

If for no other reason to learn more about whichever team most of North America will probably be rooting for against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

–

Meanwhile, while the Blue Jays won 13-4, Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero came just shy of a cycle when he stopped at 2nd on a ball into the gap, instead of trying for a triple.

Many Jays and random baseball fans were annoyed. But imagine how they would have reacted had Vlady tried to stretch it out and injured a hamstring or something.

–

What Republicans & Fox News won’t tell you Democrats DID pass a CR in March to keep government open until Sept 30.

Dems have been trying to get ACA subsidies extended all year. NOW GOP wants another CR. And promises they’ll finally negotiate. Why should ANYONE believe them?

–

The only thing down about grocery prices is the amount of groceries many Americans are able to buy

–

Stores like Uniqlo returning to downtown San Francisco, hotels & restaurants are busier, tourism is up, crime is down & there’s strong sense of optimism under new Mayor Daniel Lurie. So of course Trump targets SF & threatens National Guard. He can’t stand success in California.

–

President Trump now says he is considering military ground strikes in Venezuela. Just how far will he go to try to distract from the Epstein files?

–

JD Vance won’t condemn GOP “I love Hitler” /watermelon people” group chat. “We’re not canceling kids because they do something stupid in a group chat.

“Kids” were from 18-40. But VP wants to arrest and/or deport college students who say something HE feels is stupid.

–

Remember – Taking over Greenland? Reopening Alcatraz? Making Canada the 51st State? So is it all about distracting from Project 2025. Or distracting from the Epstein Files?

–

Pointing out portrait of Abraham Lincoln today in Oval Office, Donald says “Nobody’s been treated worse than me. Times 10.’

Thinking Abe and JFK, for starters, might disagree.

–

Can we stop with the GOP lies? Leader John Thune claims “every adminstration makes decisions in a shutdown.” You know who didn’t make decisions during a shutdown? President Joe Biden. Because he didn’t have any shutdowns.

–

Hey GOP. If wanting no kings in America makes you a left-wing radical then our founding fathers were left-wing radicals.

Supposedly it will cost $350 billion over next 10 years to extend ACA subsidies.

Just $35 billion a year. While Trump just sent $20 billion, more than half that, to his friend in Argentina.

Why isn’t this the biggest headline? It’s not America first. Donald is ME first.

(at late time of writing, apparently he’s now given them $40 billion..)

–

Finally on a positive noteL

Great thing about living in California

State alerts us when ballot is sent. They let me know today post office has it. They will let me know when it is received. & when it is verified & counted. CA believes all eligible citizens should vote & it should be easy. What a concept.

The fight’s the thing?

February 22, 2025

Remember when I first started watching hockey as a kid that some said fights were the reason many viewers turned in.

Well, adding political fights between the US and Canada seems to have done wonders for ratings:

The Canada-USA final drew 9.3 million viewers on ESPN, which surpassed the NHL record of 8.9 million viewers in the 2019 Stanley Cup,

–

Doesn’t take much to piss off MAGA. Posted that I rooted for Canada last night in hockey. (Lived in Toronto for 5 yrs, was Leafs fan as kid)

Been called libtard, the c word, retarded & a traitor. For starters Over a hockey game. DonOld’s fans are as fragile as he is.

–

–

Media during the 2024 campaign: “Why are many Democrats warning about Trump being a wannabe dictator when most Americans care more about the price of eggs?”

Media now – “Why are many Democrats talking about the price of eggs when Trump is acting like a dictator?

Wonder how it feels being a Trump voter out of a job, or having friends and family members out of jobs, and seeing Leon prancing around laughing about cuts with a chain saw?

–
How quickly we’ve gone with the Presidency from “The West Wing” to “The Sopranos.”

–

In December, Trump chose Caleb Vitello, a 23 yr ICE vet who was chief of staff for Enforcement and Removal Operations, as acting ICE director. Today DonOld fired Vitello from that post because he isn’t arresting and deporting people fast enough.


Since Velveeta Voldemort is upset ICE isn’t deporting enough people, why isn’t he sending agents into South Boston looking for undocumented Irish, or Brighton Beach looking for undocumented Russians?

–

GOP Rep Cory Mills, from Florida is being investigated over an alleged domestic violence in a DC luxury apartment that was originally not charged this week – after the victim at first partially recanted story

The alleged victim referred to Mills as her “significant other for over a year.”

Mills is married in Florida with two kids. Mills had said he might run for Rubio’s Senate seat. He seems nice

–

GOP North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis speaking up saying Vladimir Putin is a “cancer.” Well, he’s right, but considering Tillis knew how much Trump admires Putin maybe he shouldn’t have voted for Pete Hegseth. (For that matter does this put Thom on Kash Patel’s enemies list?)

–

Jen Psaki repored s that as bad as Louis DeJoy was as head of USPS, DonOld Trump was furious with DeJoy because he oversaw the 2020 pandemic election when Trump lost .

It’s ALL about petty revenge, all of it.


Buried lede in NY Times story about Trump firing military leaders. Donald at CPAC once said he met the retired 3 star General Caine he just appointed to be head of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs in 2018, claiming General Caine donned a MAGA hat, despite military guidelines that active-duty troops should not wear political paraphernalia and said “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”

Stupor Bowl plans

January 27, 2025

Well, was really hoping of the teams left that Buffalo would win their first Super Bowl.

But given the alternatives: Out of Philadelphia’s 66 wards, Trump won 5. 59 went to Harris, who got 551,845 votes in Philly compared to Trump’s 141,203. #FlyEaglesFly

–

Just saying. The Washington Commanders were on a seven game winning streak until DonOld Trump returned to the White House.

And it wouldn’t be a Chiefs win without a controversial call that went their way. (4th down where CBS announcers thought they made it. One ref agreed, one overruled)

–

Joe Biden spent weekends at Delaware beach house. MAGA -outrage over cost of secret service going with him.

Trump spends weekend in Las Vegas at his OWN hotel, where taxpayers pay inflated rates for him & Secret Service that go directly to Donald’s pocket. MAGA – crickets.

–

Seriously, why isn’t media on this story? Knew Trump would go to Las Vegas after visit to LA. And he had rally there today Why? Because he owns hotel in Vegas, where he stayed last night. (He could have flown back to White House on Air Force One, or had a rally in any other CA city, or any red state. But in Vegas, Don can make Secret Service stay at his hotel too & jack up rates taxpayers pay!

–

–

MAGA logic is amazing. They claim Joe Biden was powerful enough to take over all of government, turning the DOJ and other agencies – even at a state and local level – into a weaponized deep state. And also claim that all Joe did was sleep and be on vacation….

–

JD Vance on Meet the Press attacks Catholic church: “The US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to look in the mirror a little bit & recognize that when they receive more than $100m to resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns or are they worried about their bottom line?”

–


Reminder Pope Francis said before the election “You must choose the lesser evil. Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, (has to) think and do this.”

Wonder how his Holiness is feeling about not making a public recommendation now.

–

As Trump implements Project 2025 at breakneck speed if only it had all been written down somewhere so that media had a chance to warn us what was coming. Oh wait, never mind.

–

One underreported item from Velveta Voldemort’s (probably illegal) Friday night massacre of inspector generals. MOST, per Washington Post, were appointees from Trump’s 2017-2021 first term.

–

Just saying. When white people start losing out even more to Asian-americans on college admissions, going to be fun to see GOP screaming about a need for diversity.

–

So tired of Democrats screaming at Senate Dems “do something.” Change comes from VOTES. Without votes GOP controls everything. We can filibuster bills but on nominees best chance is for Dems to convince few GOP colleagues to vote “no” And then WE need to vote in midterms.

–

You know Rachel Maddow is nailing it, & getting under Velveeta Voldemort’s skin when he rants like this “Wow! Rachel Maddow has horrible ratings. She’ll be off the air very soon.” Don’t watch much cable news now, but if you needed another reason to watch Rachel (and Lawrence)
