Almost final

July 19, 2026

France and England combined to score TEN goals in their third place game.

Figured at the time probably a lot more than the SF Giants and Seattle Mariners will combine to score tonight.

(And even in 10 innings they only scored…)

Logan Webb pitched a one hit shutout into the 7th, and left after giving up only two hits. Alas, the 2nd was a home run after a walk and HBP. Giants baseball… nothing like it.

Things could have been worse with this World Cup.

Iranian team treated badly, Somalian ref denied a visa, along with many fans..

But no ICE killings or mass arrests. Though many stayed home in fear.

Event has been popular on television & stadiums filled up, eventually.

Not talked about enough, however,, many hotels, especially luxury hotels, took a bath on bookings.

Now at least two more dead in a war that should never have started…

And that Trump claims to have ended about 10 times.

When will even Republicans say enough and take the keys from this angry elderly man?

So Todd Blanche wants us to believe he doesn’t have power to indict anyone with the Epstein Files…

But he had power (and time) to indict James Comey over a photo posted on social media of seashells arranged to read “86 47”.

Meanwhile, in Maine, 12 candidates are running to replace Graham Platner as Dem nominee for Senate.

At least 6 have serious backgrounds in politics.

If you look at Fox News/right wing media, headlines are about trans woman who would be a fringe candidate regardless of gender

Wonder how Fox News is spinning Trump’s teleprompter operator being put on leave for using insider knowledge to bet and win on prediction markets about what the President would say in his speeches?

Surprise, they aren’t covering it. At all

It’s not on their website.

Fox doesn’t cover Donald’s naps either…


How long until one of these testosterone-fueled fly bys that Pete Hegseth loves ends up in tragedy? And when it happens, who will he blame?

John Fetterman has become the media’s new Joe Manchin.

Perhaps the most covered “Democratic” Senator, generally at odds with the rest of the party…

And someone who takes airtime away from good Democrats who are actually doing their jobs and trying to help the American people,.

If you try to take disability or paid leave from your job, there are procedures you or your family need to go through, along with generally plenty of paperwork.

So why aren’t we, American taxpayers, demanding Mitch McConnell or his wife go through those procedures?

But all Mitch has to do if he’s alive & conscious (which the pictures claim he is) is call Beshear to say hello. Facetime works…

Think we’d all trust Andy’s word on the call. Or Beshear should fly to DC and ask for a private hospita visit, no cameras.

I like the Kentucky Govenor a lot. But it’s time for Andy, however he wants to do it, to demand proof of life from his state’s senior Senator

GOP Rep Andy Ogles wants to modify the 22nd Amendment to allow someone to serve up to three nonconsecutive terms! Okay then #Obama2028


The same people who didn’t think Hunter Biden, a Georgetown and Yale Law graduate, was qualified to sit on a few boards have no problem with saying Darline Graham is qualified to win a six year term to be one of the most powerful Americans in the country

.

Break time.

July 13, 2026

San Francisco did win the game. (Helps to play the Colorado Rockies, one of the other worst teams in baseball)

But the last game before the All-Star Break for the SF Giants and the second pitch to the Colorado Rockies ends up an inside the park home run. Kind of sums up the first half of the 2026 season

#NothingLikeIt

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says they will discuss expanding the men’s World Cup to 64 teams, saying “every nation should have the chance to dream of playing in the event.”

Leaving aside how much more money the tournament could make, some might add “as long as officiating makes sure most of the top teams advance to the quarters/semis.

We’ll never know.

But Donald Trump did talk to Lindsey Graham a few hours before his death.

Did he say anything to stress Graham out or raise his blood pressure?

=-

The best thing Lindsey Graham ever tweeted…

So is this insanity with Mitch McConnell’s nebulous life status a test run to see how long GOP might be able to hide Donald’s status someday?

Just trying to imagine if you disappeared from work for month (or months) refused to call your bosses & expected to keep your job, your health insurance AND to be paid.

And yet GOP Rep. Thomas Kean & Sen. Mitch McConnell have both done that.

We US taxpayers are their bosses.

Friend just got tickets to the Obama Presidential Library and needed to wait in a 45 minute online queue.

Meanwhile the last day of Trump’s Great American State Fair was partly “postponed.”. Must have disappointed over a dozen people

If the stories about Trump’s Qatar plane weren’t true FBI wouldn’t be investigating the “leak.”

Riley Gaines: It’s pretty easy to not get shot by an ICE officer… if you are still in this country illegally, be prepared to be forcefully removed.

Alex Pretti and Renee Good have entered the chat. Or rather would if they were still alive.

Note, Gaines is MARRIED to an immigrant who had issues with his immigration status over refusing a COVID vaccine, but he happens to be white. But besides that, how did a 5th place finish in a US swimming event qualify Riley Gaines to be an expert on ANYTHING?

Ro Khanna says he was detained by Israeli settlers during West Bank visit.
Asked on presidential run:, Khanna “I’m strongly considering it & I’m more resolved to consider it after this trip.”


Please. Ro’s been been planning to run since he 1st primaried Mike Honda for congress.

Made to be broken

Congratulations to Caitlin Clark, for breaking the all-time NCAA scoring record set by Pete Maravich today.

And while as a late bloomer I might be in a minority of people who remember Pistol Pete, how cool is it that most sports fans, even if they don’t love women’s sports or basketball, know who Caitlin Clark is?

And if fans of men’s basketball, college and NBA still complain women don’t score enough..

Iowa’s women’s basketball team with their 93-83 win today over Ohio State, outscored both the Clippers and Timberwolves in Los Angeles’s 89-88 win over Minnesota.

Yes, I know it’s not the same game….

Warriors Celtics is today’s NBA showcase game. If your idea of a showcase was Christians Lions.

Halftime score 38-82. Not a typo

Do NY Times and Washington Post actually interview people who are pleased with President Biden?
I’m sure they do, but it’s like Jaywalking used to be. If Jay Leno asked questions of smart people who gove smart answers, or even normal people who gave semi-smart answers then they didn’t get on air.

NY Times headline “Republicans Nod to Trump’s Influence in Race to Succeed McConnell.”

Can’t stand McConnell, he broke SCOTUS & much of our democracy with it. But if he’d just voted to impeach Trump after Jan 6 Donald wouldn’t be able to run in 2024.

Mitch owns this too.

One of most repulsive things about today’s media: If pretty white woman or girl is killed by a partner, a stalker, ex-boyfriend, pedophile, random sociopath, it’s a brief flash in news cycle.

If it’s a black or brown girl it might not even make the national news cycle.

But if a young woman’s allleged killer is undocumented, her photo is shown regularly for weeks at least.

Yes, Fani Willis could have used better judgment. But if a pro-Trump while male judge was found to have had a sexual relationship with a staffer, MAGA GOP would either dismiss it or put it down to a mark of his virility

Stock market at record highs, car prices finally falling, Biden helping Texas during horrific wildfire without attacking the red state, crime is down… And NY Times has headline -For Democrats Pining for an Alternative, Biden Team Has a Message: Get Over It. They miss Trump

Trump says moderate Republicans are no longer welcome in the GOP “We’re getting rid of the Romneys…we are 100 percent MAGA.”

Dear Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Although we disagree on many things I will defend you if you become a conservative Democrat or Independent who caucuses with Democrats.

We have a big blue messy tent. But we’re not insane.

NY Times headline “Republicans Nod to Trump’s Influence in Race to Succeed McConnell.”

Can’t stand McConnell, he broke SCOTUS & much of our democracy with it.

But if he’d just voted to impeach Trump after Jan 6 Donald wouldn’t be able to run in 2024

Mitch owns this too.

Suppose it’s good to see GOP signs of sanity with Nikki Haley beating Trump with 62.% of votes in DC Primary.

But leaving aside small number of Republican voters in DC why does media report 80-90% of Democrats voting for President BIden as bad. As Joe actually WON an election.
