NBA playoffs got underway today. April 16.
This year’s playoffs were adjusted to end a little earlier than last year. Game 7, if it comes to that, would be June 19
So not quite boys of summer.
–
SF Giants and Washington Nationals played a game that is giving many former Little League parents painful flashbacks. #sloppy
Walker blew the save but got a scoreless 10th after Nats loaded bases in with no outs,- and no score
How many bobbled balls, errors, missed opportunities, etc?
And just plain weirdness. Ever seen a shortstop field a ball with a runner at 1st, step on second too late, then throw to first to get one out.
Baseball is a funny game.

Reported on Fox News – “FBI Director Kash Patel vows to sue The Atlantic over bombshell report.”
Apparently no one ever told Kash about discovery.

Thinking of all the causes and elections moderate and liberal billionaires spend their money on, sure would have been nice if some of them had banded together to buy Twitter.

Headline at “The Guardian”
“Middle East crisis live: ships report attacks as Iran closes strait of Hormuz; Trump says deal still possible”
Deal still POSSIBLE?
I thought he ended the war yesterday. Again
How many market manipulation cycles is he gonna have over Iran?
–
Seeing more nonstop Tom Steyer commercials this weekend
But maybe if Steyer, who has only ever run for President and Governor wants to try his hand at actual government he could move to the East Bay and run for Eric Swalwell’s Congressional seat?
–
Remind me of how many Senators voted to confirm Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner as part of Trump’s cabinet?
So how many times will Trump claim to have ended the Iran war he started?
–
Trump said US strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s key nuclear enrichment program.
In summer 2025.
And the Strait of Hormuz stayed open
So now Donald is saying same thing.
And is bragging about reopening the Strait.
And it’s only cost $50 billion & 13 US lives.
–
Humiliating defeat for his endorsed “friend” in Hungary.
Not to mention many smaller defeats in special elections in the US
Is it just possible that people are now deserting Trump because he looks like a LOSER?”
–
So media not even going to mention that Donald wrote in all caps on Truth Social, “IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE.”
The Strait of Iran?
Leaving aside that it didn’t stay open,
If Biden had made that mistake it would be headline news
–
Steve Bannon: “If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.”
If you didn’t already have enough motivation to vote in November
Who knows whether the Butler assassination attempt was staged. But you don’t shut down an investigation if you want to quiet the questions. The scary thing – who doesn’t believe that Donald would be evil enough to try it?
–
Stephen Colbert on Trump’s picture as Jesus (or Doctor Jesus?)
“Dude you can’t compare yourself to Jesus. For one thing, Jesus had a father who loved him”
–
The Doordash Grandma testified before the House Ways and Means committee last year in Nevada & said she was from Nevada.
Now she says she’s from Arkansas.
If so, who paid for her travel – flights and lodging- to DC for her McDonald’s White House stunt?
