And meanwhile, with Bad Bunny at Halftime and Green Day as the Super Bowl opening act, Donald Trump says he will skip the Super Bowl. Who says there’s no good news these days.
–
Almost feels now like Trump’s ICE is trying for the most outrageous killings possible in Minnesota in hopes of being able to declare martial law.
What’s next, sending Kristi Noem in personally to shoot puppies?
–
So if you are a minor with a gun you’re not allowed to carry, bring it to a protest & fatally shoot protesters, GOP will call you a hero
But if you legally carry a gun to a protest, are stripped of it by ICE, and get fatally shot yourself, GOP will say you deserve it.
–
If you are a white American citizen & have been telling yourself “it can’t happen to me”
Just exactly how many deaths will it take until you know..?
–
“2nd amendment diehards keep saying “for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep bear Arms, shall not be infringed’
Have any of them responded to US citizen w/ a permit to carry, being disarmed, & then fatally shot in back, by the “free State”?
I’ll wait.
–
And here’s State TV Fox News headline take
“Unrest grows, details emerge after Border Patrol agent shoots, kills suspect with ‘defensive shots'”
The man was lying on the ground, then had been beaten after his gun was taken away.
This was murder. Period.
Many Trump acolytes say that Alex Pretti shouldn’t have had a gun at a protest. So explain why they glorify Kyle Rittenhouse?
–
So let me get this straight. The gospel according to today’s GOP. The 2nd Amendment is the most important part of the constitution. But if you carry a gun that is justification enough to kill you.
Two weeks until the start of the Winter Olympics. That wonderful time every four years when people who can’t get across the ice at a holiday rink suddenly become experts on a triple or quadruple lutz.
–
Commissioners of the NBA, NFL, MLB & NHL are being called to the Oval Office by next week “to present activation plans for the 250th anniversary of the United States.”
Possible translation “He will demand all of them give him a trophy.”
–
Trump claims that federal workers instead of working were at the ballfield or out playing golf After he spent the weekend at taxpayer expense playing golf and going to a football game. SNL cold open writers are going “We give up.”
Minnesota, now Maine.
Could he find states further from the Southern Border? What’s next? ICE invasion of Hawaii?

Trump has become the man that if you’re visiting an elderly relative in a nursing home and you see him rambling and talking to himself, you try to get out of his sight before he comes in your direction.

Feb 2023. Fox News headline “Biden stumbles over word in Philadelphia speech: ‘Recalibration’
Jan 2026: President refers repeatedly to “Greenland” as “Iceland” Fox News – crickets

Wonder how many members of the Trump administration shorted the stock market for one day before his TACO on the tariffs?
Fox News headline:
“The era of liberal talk shows only inviting Dem candidates is over, FCC says” They’re upset that late night hosts have too many liberals. Waiting for GOP wannabes & current administration to accept being on Colbert, Kimmel & Fallon.
Bring. It. On.

Wrap your head around this one. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who thinks it’s normal for Americans to have 5 + homes for retirement, just called California Gov. Gavin Newsom “economically illiterate.”-

Jane Fonda tonight on Stephen Colbert. “They are kidnapping people, they are illegally deporting American citizens… all kinds of really bad things are happening. It’s not a question of right or left, I don’t care what party you belong to. It’s a question of right or wrong.”
–
So what crazy thing will Donald Trump do Thursday to distract from Jack Smith’s testimony? Sorry. No prize or trophy for the correct answer. But winning answer gets serious bragging rights.
–
A normally non-political friend summed it up So basically Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave the Hugh Grant from ” Love Actually” speech for real.

Usha Vance is pregnant.
To celebrate maybe her husband could push the Trump administration to ensure that ALL pregnant women have access to healthcare?
Oh, who am I kidding?

After this week’s press conference and speech in Davos it is increasingly obvious that the man in the White House with the nuclear codes is not a man most Americans would trust in their neighborhood to water their plants.
Sometimes Heisman voters get it wrong. Not I think this year.

But for how many NFL football fans is this postseason coming down to “Who do we hate the least?”
–
As Sean Payton knows, Drew Brees is only three years older than Philip Rivers. Just saying
Well, all those who complained that Bo Nix wasn’t an NFL quarterback, now will see if the Denver Broncos can get to the Super Bowl with someone who REALLY isn’t an NFL quarterback. (at least not for the past 2 years.)
–
Meanwhile, it has just been announced that Green Day will perform at the Super Bowl Opening Ceremony on February 9.
Welcome to the resistance, NFL
–
MAGA is losing their minds over Green Day being added to the Super Bowl artists performing
Wait until they play “American Idiot.”

US Cities hosting World Cup: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, NYC/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, & Seattle.
ALL these cities have Democratic mayors. Why, knowing Trump’s ICE war on Dems, would ANY foreigners risk attending?
–
Lebron James was not selected as an All-Star Starter for the first time in over 20 years. And yet he didn’t throw a tantrum and call the NBA illegitmate or threaten to invade anyone over it.
–
Is there a company in the DC area who can print out a giant banner with Trump’s letter to the Norwegian prime minister on it, and hang it from the U.S. Capitol so no Republican in Washington can claim they haven’t seen it? I’d join the Go Fund Me for that. Who’s with me?
–
Donald Trump had his motorcade make a 9 minute stop at a furniture store in West Palm Beach on his way back to Mar-A-Lago. Was he looking for a trophy case for all the medals he’s planning to extort? Or given his age & health, did he need a quick potty break?
–
If MLK Jr’s family offered Trump one of Dr. King’s many awards – maybe his Time Magazine 1963 “Man of the Year” cover, or his Grammy, THEN would Donald issue a Presidential proclamation on MLK day?
–
Regarding some hotels canceling ICE bookings: Hotels cater to business travelers & tourists, often from out of state or US.
Can’t imagine being hotel guest, regardless of politics, & knowing if you simply run into angry ICE agent (or someone who hasn’t met their quota), on your way to breakfast or ice machine you could be detained or arrested.
–
Every GOP Senator who thinks that selling their soul to appease Trump will benefit them in the long run should take a long hard look at what happened to Bill Cassidy.
–
The real reason Trump is endorsing Julia Letlow for Bill Cassidy’s Senate seat: “Letlow has said she would have joined other GOP representatives in objecting to the results of the 2020 presidential election in Congress, had she been in office at the time.”
–
So Trump is going after GOP Senator Bill Cassidy by endorsing Julia Letlow, who got into Congress when her 41 yr-old husband died of COVID. I know some have tried, but maybe it’s worth revisiting a conversation about US Senate run with former Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards?
–
Some Republicans want a bill to require Americans to have a passport to vote.
As a believer in voting rights I think this is wrong.
But most Americans with passports are Democrats. As my late great Stepmother used to say “humanity survives in large part because criminals are stupid.”
–
Trump fundraising email Saturday night:
Sat, Jan 17 at 5:13 PM “It’s Trump. I’m in the Oval Office, & I can’t stop thinking about you.” Except he’s at Mar-A-Lago. Losing track of where you are is a sign of advanced dementia..
The NFL will honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. by displaying “Choose Love” in the end zones and on helmet decals for all divisional round playoff games this weekend.
Waiting for the GOP rebuttal.

The College Football Championship game is January 19 in Miami, Florida. Not too far from Mar-A-Lago
So what trophy will Donald demand the NCAA give him for showing up?
–
Trump claims he will put a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands and Finland on Feb 1 over acquiring Greenland. Is there a petty little b*tch award, and can Donald get a lifetime achievement version?
–
Anyone talked to Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy this morning? Senate Republican: Greenland invasion would be ‘weapons-grade stupid’
–
Apparently ICE agents ate lunch at a small local Mexican restaurant in Minnesota, enjoyed their meal, then came back later that night as the restaurant was closing down and arrested the people who had served them.
How do these people sleep at night?
Oh, I know, upside down and hanging from the ceiling.
–
USA Today headline kind of sums it up: “DOJ begins probe of governor, mayor in Minnesota after killing of Renee Good.” Not being probed by DOJ? The man who fired the shots that killed Renee.
–
Hey MAGA Undecided if you are upset that Trump’s DOJ hasn’t released the Epstein files? Read ‘Nobody’s Girl” by the late Virginia Giuffre. Maybe read it out loud at home to your family if you have kids. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Stephen Colbert: “Germany announced they are sending troops to Greenland. Making it the first time in human history anyone ever said “good news, the German troops are on the way.””
–
Serious question: As DOJ increasingly is pushing Trumped up and nonsensical investigations against his enemies, how long until administration needs to waive the bar exam requirement for lawyers? Because they won’t find enough stupid and/or craven prosecutors otherwise.
–
Dr. Oz actually says it’s “pretty cool” that since many areas in Alabama don’t have OB GYNs that women can get ultrasounds done by robots.
Two things. 1. Pennsylvania, you actually COULD have done worse than Senator Fetterman
2. Pennsylvania, you could have chosen Conor Lamb
–
Former governor of Puerto Rico Wanda Vázquez Garced pleaded guilty last year to accepting a campaign finance violation from a Venezuelan banker in 2020.
She also endorsed Trump in 2024. He just pardoned her. If you praise or bribe Dear Leader, crime does pay.
–
Millions of Americans went through hell to get Real ID to fly: birth certificates, social security numbers, 2 proofs of residency – utility bills, mortgage statements etc. Plus in person DMV meeting/fingerprinting. But Trump’s untrained ICE says, nah, we don’t trust them.
–
So will the US actually pull out of NATO because Donald Trump is terrified of releasing the Epstein Files?
–
Funny thing- as most people approach 80 years old they downsize – getting rid of things since “you can’t take it with you.” But Donald seems increasingly fixated on acquiring gaudy “stuff.” What’s he planning, something like a pyramid to function someday as his temple tomb?
–
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr “A good mother shouldn’t trust experts. Instead she should do her own research.” If he really wants to make the point, the next time RFK Jr has a medical issue hope he follows his own advice and tries to heal himself.
–
Tom Emmer is now doing Trump’s bidding and calling for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to resign. I’m so old I remember when Donald referred to him as ” RINO Tom Emmer” and scuttled him being chosen House Speaker. Wonder what price Emmer got for his soul?
One of the worst things about Stanford being in the ACC. When the Cardinal is at home and upsets a top conference team, like UNC Wednesday night, most East Coast fans (& media) are already asleep
–
Was looking at Stanford’s men’s basketball schedule and noticed most of the players had declared college majors.
In the days of transfer portals and NIL’s seems so… quaint.
Pam Bondi said tonight that she just fired the six Minneapolis prosecutors who quit yesterday.
When Trump fires her will Pam Bondi say later that SHE quit?
–
To anyone saying shooting of Renee Good was justified. Videos I have seen don’t indicate that to me. But okay, isn’t this what investigations are for? If DOJ truly believes officer was in the right, they should have no problem w/ full investigation & trial, working with Minnesota law enforcement.
–
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is trying to extradite a California doctor for mailing abortion pills.
California Governor Newsom denied him.
Landry “Louisiana has a zero tolerance policy for those who subvert our laws, seek to hurt women, and promote abortion. I know Gavin Newsom supports abortion in all its forms, but that doesn’t work in Louisiana. We are unapologetically pro-life.:
Meanwhile, now that he’s caused every Planned Parenthood in the state to close, Jeff Landry has no problem of women being hurt or even dying from a lack of prenatal care or even basic healthcare including mammograms.
–
Do we think Donald knows Greenland isn’t as big as it appears on flat maps? Asking for a country ruled by a madman obsessed with size.
–
CNN poll 56% of Americans think fatally shooting Renee Good was inappropriate use of force. Only 26% approved. What makes that number even more significant. Over a third of Americans get most of their news from Fox News.
–
Meanwhile, just how many Americans is this administration willing to have ICE kill to distract from the Epstein files.
–
Great MSN interview with a Greenlander. “You can’t buy people. You can maybe buy the Presidency of the United States but you can’t buy us.”
–
Challenge anyone to watch both Senator Mark Kelly and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speak for five minutes. Then say who looks more like a leader.
–
Orbin Mauricio Hernandez Serrano, who videos showed beaten unconscious by ICE Sunday at St Paul gas station, is apparently alive (now) & being detained in El Paso. His sister said he just moved to MN from Texas. Sadly had he stayed in red state ICE probably would’ve ignored him.
–
On 10th anniversary of Citizens United, Senators Mark Kelly, Sheldon Whitehouse, Amy Klobuchar & Cory Booker, among others, spoke on Senate Floor about campaign finance reform. You know who didn’t speak against unlimited money in politics? Every single Senate Republican.
–
In case anyone has forgotten December 19 was the deadline to release the Epstein Files.
We are less than a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting.
And there are WAY too many damn channels to try to watch the NFL playoffs.
(If the NFL could they’d split the Super Bowl into one quarter on broadcast, one on cable, and two quarters streaming.)
–
As James Comer threatens to hold Bill Clinton in contempt for not being willing to testify PRIVATELY on Epstein, (Bill says he is willing to testify publicy) perhaps Clinton should say he’ll come in on the same day as Trump.
TJ Sabula was the UAW worker who called Donald Trump a “predator protector.” (Prompting the President to flip him off. Sabula has been suspended.
–
Hey Marco Rubio. This you last week? “Well, I mean, broadly, we’re concerned about any place first and foremost where American free speech could be implicated.”
–
And think I’m ready to make a donation to any politician willing to bring TJ Sabula as their guest at the State of the Union.
–
Amy Klobuchar pointing out, there are more than twice as many ICE agents in Minneapolis than there are police, who are overextended and spending a lot of time trying to protect residents from ICE.
When the POLICE are publicly on the side of the liberals in town….
–
Meanwhile in Minneapolis, Nazis with a dose of McCarthyism “Sigüenza, a U.S. citizen, detained temporarily by ICE, said an immigration officer who questioned him Sunday even offered him money or legal protection if he gave up the names of organizers or neighbors who are in the country illegally.”
–
SIX DOJ Prosecutors have apparently resigned in Minnesota over Trump administration’s push after Renee Good’s shooting, to probe her widow… Yes, the woman who saw her wife shot before her eyes. There is no bottom.
–
Would James Comer like to explain publicly why he HAS to have Bill Clinton come to testify on the Epstein files but hasn’t subpoenaed ANY prominent Republican? Asking for a country. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
–
Trump calls his invasion of Venezuela, “The most brilliant attack we’ve had in 100 years.” Leaving aside Obama’s successfully taking out Osama Bin Laden…thinking Eisenhower with D-Day would like a word.
–
So Donald posting on Truth Social to Iranian protestors “Take over your institutions.” While in the USA he thinks people should be killed for being ‘”disrepectful…” Meanwhile, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
San Antonio Spurs just beat the Lakers handily. After losing to the Grizzlies.
Victor Wembanyama talking two days ago about the Spurs’ frustrating tendency to play down to competition: “The good this is, we can match up with everybody and look anybody in the eye. The bad thing is, we look everybody in the eye.”
–
Stanford football fans remember this. There were years the Cardinal would beat a team like Oregon and USC, then lose to San Jose State.
–
Just saying, while RFK Jr, says we should eat meat and fat and avoid sugar, a Big Mac has as much sugar as two Oreos.
–
Remember when Kristi Noem was supposedly on Trump’s VP list until she bragged in a book about shooting her dog? Beginning to think that killing actually raised her in Donald’s estimation.
–
So if Renee Nicole Good instead of trying to drive away from ICE agents had jumped on the window of an ICE building with agents inside and tried to break in with a knife would Trump supporters be eulogizing her?
–
A 30 something Chicago friend of mine helped stand peacefully outside her child’s school last year to protect kids from being snatched by ICE to lure the parents. Told her good for her. She did say at one point “They won’t shoot me, I’m white.” Guess we’ve sadly proven that wrong..
–
Trump administration is considering offering the people of Greenland $10,000 to $100,000 per person to vote to secede and join the United States.
To join a country where random Federal agents with limited training can shoot you dead if you make them angry? Thinking hard pass..
–
In NY Times interview “Trump did not give precise time range for how long USA would remain Venezuela’s political overlord. Would it be 3 months? 6 months? A year? Longer? “I would say much longer,” Trump replied. How long until he sends US military to fight & die there?
–
How rest of world sees us:
BBC : “Trump withdraws US from key climate treaty & dozens of other groups White House says decision was taken because those entities “no longer serve American interests” Half of those 66 groups were focused on climate change. Some on preventing sexual violence.
We have become a sh*thole country
Trump just said he’ll take steps to keep large institutional investors from buying single family homes. Shares of Blackstone, largest such investor, fell 9% Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman is a leading Trump donor So what donation or prize will Schwarzman need to give to Trump to get an exemption?
–
Noem “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” Translation, we want him out of public eye until he can claim he was miraculously healed.
–
Politics aside, if Trump will lie about a fatal shooting that we could all see with our own eyes… What else does he lie about?
–
“I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions” Lillian Hellman, 1952, to the Un-American Committee of the US House of Representatives. Would that GOP members of Congress had her conscience, or cojones.
Already, feeling like the longest year in US history.
Where’s another PopTarts bowl when we need one.
Between Mike Pence and the GOP state senators I am actually rooting for Indiana to win the National College Football Championship.
–
This is the week when NFL coaches whose teams underperformed in 2025 get fired, even with a long-term contract. Shame in the US we can’t do that with our President.
Hey GOP members of Congress, none of you would trust Donald Trump to feed your cat for a weekend. Or probably even water your plants. Why are you trusting him to be a de facto King?.
–
Note to Republicans and Trump toadies saying “Greenland SHOULD be part of the United States,” the country actually closest to Greenland is Canada.
–
Meanwhile just because the Venezuelan people didn’t want to be run by their own crazy dictator, doesn’t mean they want to be run by America’s crazy dictator.
–
Marco Rubio is claiming that he cares about protecting free speech for Americans. He won’t even speak out to protect free speech for one of his former Senate colleagues, Mark Kelly
Trump was right about something, he is “Little Marco.”
The problem is that Trump has gotten into his head that the ‘Donroe Doctrine’ is his thing. He’s now very focused on this. And it’s hard to come to an agreement with the Danes when Trump thinks he can just take it.”
Is it time to start checking for brain worms?
–
It’s not just the ACA subsidies. Trump’s petty revenge against blue states by cutting off money will make it almost impossible for Republicans to win.
–
Among the campaign issues of 2024, I somehow missed the “cost be damned, morals be damned, the US has the imperial right to take over anyone we want..”
“Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland”

GOP Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla tweeted this weekend “Democrats have total egg on their face[s] from previous operations saying we’re going to be in these protracted long-war operations that did not take place. President Trump is not the protracted war president.” Maybe bookmark this tweet?
Whatever else Trump is throwing at the wall- wars, invasions. attacks on immigrans as well as Americans who disagree with him #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp is still trending on Twitter-
–
Have heard Senator Amy Klobuchar talk of how on January 6 she and her fellow Senators were in hiding in fear of their lives.
She was especially concerned about some of the older Senators and Capitol Police break into the cafeteria to get food for everyone.
Republican Senators were there. But sniveling cowards now won’t stand up for the truth.
Assuming even most of the older ones remember…
–
And upon further reflection. Yes, I’d love Amy Klobuchar to lead Democrats in the Senate, at the very least. But watching the GOP led-Senate kowtow to a would-be King, short-term Amy may be able to mount a more effective resistance as Governor of a purple state.
Plenty of talk on how neither the 8-8 Buccaneers nor Panthers deserve a playoff home game just because they won a bad division
The New Orleans Saints, 11-5 in 2011, but who had to travel to Seattle to play the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks, would have agreed. #WhoDat
—
Many fans are complaining that the 49ers and Seahawks had to play a Saturday night game after both teams had previous games on short rest.
And some ask, how could the NFL schedule the game Saturday? The answer probably is, because they couldn’t do Friday. #Ratings
–
My father made us children watch CBS News every single night. “And that’s the way it was” to me often meant “we can go now?”
But I remember the casualty counts released by our government every week. “Viet cong” and “US Soldiers/Allies” And the counts were always hugely higher on the “enemy” side. I remember asking my dad. “If we’re killing so many more of them than they are killing of us, why aren’t we winning?”
And his response, well, ‘For one thing, our government is lying.”
Wonder how honest Trump will be about US casualties in Venezuela?
–
JD Vance “Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says.”
He “means what he says?” “I’ll end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.” “I’ll release the Epstein files?” “I’ll lower prices on day one.” “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it.”
Two words. “Yeah. Right.”
–
So Trump has decided he can unilaterally take over a country if he doesn’t like their leader or if they don’t do what he wants.
Seriously, how long until NATO countries have to invoke Article 5 against USinvasion? (Denmark, Greenland, another country who won’t kowtow to him?)
–
Trump says the United States is going to run Venezuela? With approval ratings in the 30s, pretty clear Donald can’t even run the United States.
–
Trump: “We’re going to have a presence as it pertains to oil. We’re going to be taking tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, it will go to the people of Venezuela & also to USA as reimbursement for the damages done to us by that country.”
Boots on the ground, for oil. Didn’t we just do that?
–
Did ANYONE vote for Trump in 2024 because they wanted him to bomb Venezuela? Asking for a country
–
But okay all these MAGA types celebrating Trump’s attack on Venezuela and arrest of Maduro and his wife… Are they volunteering, or volunteering their kids and grandkids, to go fight this war?
–
Yes, Rubio said it: “Are we going to live in a world where some American puts up a social media post,then gets to some airport somewhere & is arrested?” While anyone who wants to visit USA must turn over social media records for 5 yrs. Funeral services for irony are pending
–
Hey media and potentially bored reporters.
So many billionaires, many Trump buddies, celebrated New Year’s Eve in St. Barts, reachable by ferry from St Maarten, by expensive small planes & by private jets.
Flights were canceled Saturday January 3. Many are canceled tomorrow. Wonder how many billionaires might have been warned to leave yesterday.
And Notre Dame has been sulking for a month at home because they didn’t get asked. (And missed out on the Pop Tarts bowl.
It’s going to be a good College Football playoff semi-finals and finals.
–
Meanwhile in college basketball, Stanford upset #16 Louisville and Cal upset Notre Dame. The ACC may not be that happy about picking up what they thought were the dregs of the old Pac 12.
–
From CBS News – “We’ve taken into account the perspective of advocates & not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites & not enough on you.” So yeah, who needs experts – bring on conspiracy theories & what your crazy uncle on FB says.
–
From Heather Cox Richardson: “The Wall Street Journal article was significant not because it acknowledges weaknesses many journalists have already recorded, but because a leading right-leaning media outlet is suggesting that Trump is not up to the task of the presidency.”
–
So apparently Grandpa’s war games now extend to bombing Caracas. Just now far will he go to distract from the Epstein Files?
–
Did ANYONE who volunteered to serve the United Status in the US Military do so with hopes of risking their life in Venezuela? For regime change, oil, and/or distraction from the Epstein files?
–
Still hard to wrap my head around. If you need surgery you want a top doctor. I

Now anti-abortion activists want the Environmental Protection Agency to add abortion drug mifepristone to its list of water contaminants. Have they forgotten that Trump wants to eliminate almost all EPA regulations on water and other contaminants?

Since every accusation is a confession the apparent lie about Ukraine attacking Putin’s residence probably means that Russia is planning to go after Zelenskyy personally.
Fox News completely dishonest headline “READ IT:Sealed transcript released in alleged Charlie Kirk shooting plot. Click on story & it has nothing to do with a “plot” but rather about a hearing for the SINGLE alleged assassin. But conspiracy theorists won’t read details.

While everyone is attacking Ilhan Omar over her supposed net worth, can we talk about Mitch McConnell?
Mitch has never in his life had other than a government job & has been in the Senate for 40 years. His estimated net worth is now approximately $66.13 million .

And btw, Ilhan is too far left for me personally, but you are apoplectic about fraud in Minnesota, (which the BIDEN FBI found and charged,) but shrug off the pardons Trump has given to those who stole billions, then you might be a MAGA cult member.

Trump & Kennedy Center director Richard Grenell forgot to register their domain names before the change. And former South Park Toby Morton, a creative man, thought ahead & bought “http://trumpkennedycenter.org. ” We should not go to that website; Donald doesn’t like it. Oops.
Japanese star slugger Munetaka Murakami has signed with the Chicago White Sox. Well, at least with the switch to MLB from the Nippon Professional League he won’t have to deal with immediate playoff pressure.

Fox News headline “Trump endorses ‘very popular’ New York Republican for governor race, vows safer state.” Not the more accurate “After throwing sycophant Elise Stefanik under the bus, Trump endorses white man for NY Governor.”
And when Blakeman loses, who will Donald blame?
Fox News website has time to headline this “Stafford family battles lice outbreak after Rams’ crushing overtime loss.” But they still aren’t trying to spin Trump renaming the Kennedy Center. Nor his bragging about knowing a giraffe on a cognitive test.
RFK Jr to Tucker Carlson: “We need to stop trusting the experts… Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it’s a feature of religion and totalitarianism.”
It’s really hard to know which of Trump’s terrible appointments will end up doing the most long-term damage to our country and the world. But RFK Jr. is a front runner.

Velveeta Voldemort would start World War III in an instant if it would distract from his part in the Epstein Files.
But seriously, how long until Donald decides to risk American lives in Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files?
–
All you need to know about how unpopular Trump’s narcissistic decision to add his name (first) to the Kennedy Center is…. Go to Fox News website. They aren’t even covering it.
Fox News for some reason also isn’t covering Trump’s bragging about passing another cognitive test and knowing what a giraffe is
OTOH This is an actual Fox News website headline… “Trump administration faces bipartisan fury over Epstein files release missteps.” Are people beginning to question the Emperor’s attire? We can dream.
Oklahoma Sooners fans have to be upset about their team blowing a 17-0 lead to lose to the Crimson Tide tonight.

So it takes less than 24 hours to put Trump’s name ON the Kennedy Center. But 30 days is not enough to take Trump’s name out of the Epstein files.
–
Did anyone think he was really going let Pam Bondi release the files?

The difference between Democrats and Republicans. If Bill Clinton or any other Democrat, were found guilty of raping an underage children, Dems believe he should go to prison. If Donald Trump were found guilty, GOP would blame the jury, the victims, anyone but him.

Buried in Fox News story: “DOJ redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.” “Politically exposed individuals.” Like the President.

Wonder how many Americans, including alumni, can name a participant in any of them.
–
From Marc Ragovin “The Colts are hoping that Grandpa Phillip Rivers will lead them to the promised land. Well he is a generational player. Unfortunately it’s the Greatest Generation.”
Your reminder, Colts QB is not only the oldest player in the NFL, he is eight years older than retired QB Andrew Luck.
–
Portuguese are considered white Europeans. So is Trump now going to limit white European immigration and start some EU travel bans?
But yes, even though they are white Europeans and Caucasians, Fox News headline “Foreign national suspected in Brown shooting, MIT murder, found dead in storage unit, officials say” “Foreign national?”
Fox can’t spell “Portuguese?” Or it drives them crazy that they can’t call him Palestinian?
–
Too soon to know all the details but imagine if a mass shooing suspect had escaped during Biden’s presidency and allegedly murdered another person. While the FBI director did a publicity tour with his girlfriend..
–
GOP blocks measure 50-50 – to reverse RFK move on HHS transparency which would’ve required HHS again to make its rulemaking and budget slashing open to public comment. GOP Senator Bill Cassidy MD voted no… Once again “Pro Life My Ass.”
–
Whatever you think about transgender people, still stunning that GOP House can’t be bothered to pass legislation to save healthcare for millions of Americans, of all political persuasions but can pass a bill basically banning all gender treatments for minors…
–
Again, when you’ve even lost the Daily Mail..
Last night’s headline ‘ Trump promises massive holiday gifts to millions of Americans in primetime tirade blaming Biden for all his problems”
–
“Transgender for everybody?” WTF does that even mean?
–
If anyone’s aging parent had delivered a speech like Donald did last night that parent’s next address would be an assisted living home. #Presidentialaddress
–
MNSure, Pennie, Apple Health, Husky Health, MaineCare, Soonercare, Covered California, TennCare, Healthcare .gov These and others are all Obamacare. How many Americans, especially Republicans have no idea?
–
So many new plaques with insane claims under on the Presidenial Walk of Fame at the White House
I would say our President has the mentality of a 10 year old bully but at least kids can be educated or grow out of it.
–
Pretty clear Trump has informed Carr that the only allowable media is state media. Remember, Donald wanted Kimmel canceled for mild comments about MAGA and Charlie Kirk. Amy Klobuchar correctly points out -what if Jimmy had posted anything like what Trump did about Rob Reiner?
How is SNL going to top Wednesday night’s Presidential address for this weekend’s cold open?
Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia has apologized for his “F* all the Voters” Instagram post after not winning the Heisman trophy.
A true apology for youthful impulsive bad behavior? Or his agent reminding him that he did NOT help his draft stock with his outburst
–
Susie Wiles’ Vanity Fair interview was… interesting… But every minute media talk about it is a minute they aren’t focused on the Epstein Files. Legally required to be released by Friday.
–
How many Americans voted for Trump because they wanted to send their sons and daughters to fight in Venezuela?
–
So after praising Syrian President a-Sharaa at the White House, and saying ISIS terror attack that killed US troops has ‘nothing to do’ with Syria’s president, Donald Trump has now added Syria to his travel ban list. How much of a bribe will it take from al-Sharaa to remove the ban?
–
GOP excuse that not releasing the second strike video against an alleged drug boat is a matter of national security would make a lot more sense if Hegseth and DOD weren’t gleefully releasing all their other snuff film videos.
–
Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela. And most Fentanyl is smuggled into the US by American citizens. Is Trump going to start bombing Americans next?
–
Today at the US Capitol they unveiled a statue of Civil Rights Activist Barbara Rose Johns. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin attending and spoke. Good thing he’s not running for office anytime soon. Honoring a black woman would in today’s GOP get him tagged as a RINO
Kaitlan Collins today to GOP Senator RIck Scott ” Do you disagree with Trump’s pardon of the former Honduran leader who was also indicted and convicted? ” I don’t — I never — I never met the guy and I don’t know anything about it”
‘As Republicans members of Congress continue their “I don’t know, didn’t see it, never heard” refrain, including on Trump’s comments about the death of Rob Reiner, maybe GOP needs to change their mascot from an elephant to a ostrich.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys were both eliminated from playoff contention this weekend. Who says there’s no good news these days?
–
Former Gaelic football Charlie Smyth is great story; just won game for New Orleans Saints w/ 47 yard kick. He says, ‘I’d like to be here for a long time.” Hope he is. Although let’s be accurate w/ description. Smyth’s from NORTHERN Ireland.
–
Newsflash. The San Antonio Spurs are good at basketball.
–
Trump is now trying to take over management of Washington DC’s three public golf courses.
He’s going to brand them all with his name and make the courses the most expensive in the US, isn’t he?
–
Note to CBS head Bari Weiss, now promoting Erika Kirk in her efforts to turn CBS into another Fox.
Fox news viewers won’t switch. You will be losing mainstream viewers for nothing
–
Only in America do we see a town or university trending on social media and immediately think “mass shooting.” Only in America are we usually right. Saturday it was Brown University.
“How many deaths will it take until we know, that too many people have died..?”
–
One of the saddest things listening to college students talking after the Brown mass shooting is how many of them reference their active shooter drills. Remember when the Columbine massacre was actually a shock….only about 25 years ago.
Not the SNL cold open: “Amid worsening affordability crisis, w/ health insurance premiums about to spike dramatically for over 20 million Americans, Trump revealed today his domestic policy chief’s main priority is building triumphal arch for Washington DC.”
Damn.
Loved Rob Reiner as a kid as “Meathead” But when I think of my favorite films: “The American President,” “A Few Good Men” and “When Harry Met Sally” – which I can quote almost entirely – are all up there.
–
And yes, I know he didn’t write the lines… Aaron Sorkin did in the American President. But this line sticks out in my mind -Annette Benning as Sydney Wade to the President “This isn’t about me. How can you keep quiet? How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can’t stand Americans?”
Apparently the Indianapolis Colts will activate formerly retired quarterback Philip Rivers for their game against Seattle. Not just that Rivers, 44, is two years older than Aaron Rodgers, who was the leagues oldest player, but he’s EIGHT years older than retired QB Andrew Luck.
–
More on Jeff Kent in the baseball hall of fame. He was a good player. But as far as one of the greatest of his era? Kent wasn’t even the greatest in the Giants lineup.
–
So as a San Antonio Spurs fan in Golden States country, have to ask – will Warriors fans all be rooting for the unlikely underdog Spurs to keep the Thunder from breaking Golden State’s record to open the season tonight?
–
The Epstein Files Transparency Act says documents must be released by Dec. 19, next Friday. So what crisis will Trump try to create to stop it?
–
Gavin Newsom responded to a Twitter anti-trans insult by Elon Musk saying “Sorry your daughter hates you.”
Ted Cruz called Gavin a “sick b*stard” and told him to “leave kids alone.”
How how about the insult hurled by Trump at Tim Walz,who has a neuro divergent son. Crickets from Ted and others on that.
–
Donald Trump yesterday, praising Melania “She’s got a wonderful boy and she’s very proud of her boy.” “Her boy?”
On top of everything else is Donald trying for “Father of the Year” award?
–
In Indiana being in State Senate isn’t even a full time job. It pays just $32,070 per year, with nothing like congressional power (or security) Many GOP got death threats over redestricting. And yet they stood tall against Trump. Unlike GOP cowards in Washington.
–
GOP in Ohio is attacking Amy Acton, the former state health director who’s now running for governor as a Democrat over lockdowns etc during COVID. But term-limited Governor Mike DeWine is responding, “The decisions that were made during COVID, they were my decisions, so no one should blame someone else if they don’t like it. The buck stops with me,”
Not a fan of DeWine but he is a conservative with a soul. Increasingly rare these days.
As Trump keeps trying to find judges and courts who will support his retribution efforts against Letitia James and James Comey a simple question – how many of our US taxpayer dollars are we spending on his petty vendettas?
It’s only a hoax if you have so much money you no longer need to keep score
–
Meanwhile, as Trump threatens to primary anyone in Indiana who voted against his plan to get 2 more congressional seats, have to think anyone looking at this week’s elections has to figure…. promise?
–
After repeated cajoling and the threats from Donald Trump on a redistricting plan that would have eliminated ALL Democratic congressional seats in the state, Indiana GOP Senators voted the bill down 31-19.
(and this in Indiana, where Republicans hold a 40-10 supermajority in the State Senate.)
–
Sounds like Hoosiers don’t like mob threats. Good for them. First Mike Pence and now the Indiana Senate. I think I might have to root for the Hoosiers to win the College Football National Championship.
–
Heritage Foundation on Twitter “President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state. Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.”
This tweet from Heritage Action should be aired on every network by Democrats!
–
How long until Trump blames JD Vance for today’s loss in Indiana?
–
Trump pardoned Colorado Clerk Tina Peters on State Election tampering conviction.
Except that besides the usual grift, Peters was sentenced to nine years in prison for among other things, tampering with voting machines in 2020 for Donald, and convicted by a STATE not a federal court. So to paraphrase Wizard of Oz “Go away, you have no power here.”
–
Trump in Pennsylvania…. “I love miners” Miners/Minors? Call for you on line one, Dr Freud.
–
So now Trump has seized a Venezuelan oil tanker?!!
Wonder how many Americans voted for Donald last fall because they were thinking “We really need to get into another way with a country that hasn’t attacked us.” And how many of our military want to risk dying for oil?
–
Foreign tourists spent $250 BILLION in the USA in 2024.
2025 numbers are already cratering. And now Trump wants to require potential visitors to turn over their social media history.
Is Donald TRYING to kill the tourism (and business travel) industry?
–
At news conference on expiring ACA subsidies, Senator Amy Klobuchar: “Instead of spending this week working on it, working on a compromise, this President is off saying ‘affordability is a hoax…” She’s right.
Although to be fair he was also probably planning his weekend golf matches.
–
Senator Raphael Warnock:
“After today’s vote I really have one question. ‘Who do Washington Republicans work for?”
–
So Michigan coach Sherrone Moore, a married “Christian” father of three, gets fired for an “inappropriate relationship with a staffer (he allegedly got her pregnant, and a few hours later is ‘detained by police’ I miss times when this when this would be most insane story of the day.
–
But Tommy Tuberville, attacking ACA/Obamacare on the Senate Floor just said “76% of Americans have at least one chronic disease.” Does he realized he just said out loud why going back to allowing insurance companies to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions would be a disaster?
–
If you’re not SF Giants fan you may not know Kruk & Kuip: Mike Krukow & Duane Kuiper. 2 of baseball’s VERY best broadcasters. But Joe Buck? WTAF? Almost as bad as FIFA Peace Prize winner. “Giants announcer Duane Kuiper passed over for Hall of Fame as Joe Buck wins Frick Award”
Philip Rivers, 44, is unretiring to join the Indianapolis Colts.
Rivers has TEN children, so maybe he really does need to feed his family.
–
On Jeff Kent making it to the Hall of Fame before Barry Bonds…
In 2000, when Jeff Kent won the NL MVP, he generally batted 4th behind Bonds.
Barry had 117 walks, 28 of them OFFICIALLY intentional.
–
–
And so it begins. Dodgers just signed closer Edwin Díaz on record-setting 3-year, $69 million deal. The only question at this point, how many of the bottom payroll teams together won’t total as much as LA’s 2026 payroll?
–
Headline this morning “Infantino accused of breaching FIFA ethics code.” Shocking. FIFA HAS an ethics code?
–
Actual headline on
@FOXNews website: “Trump-backed candidate loses as Democrats score rare Florida win in Miami race.” Are Fox folks packing bags and looking around just in case for lifeboats on the Trumptanic?
–
Maybe male reporters figure the President of the United States’ increasing misogyny towards women reporters is okay because attacks aren’t directed at them.
1. Silence is consent. Do you all have wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters?
2. Do you think he won’t come for you too?
On Trump’s personal abuse of female reporters. It’s not about if women can take care of ourselves. We can. Any liberal woman on social media gets worse insults regularly.
It’s almost a badge of honor. But the President of the United States should be better than a Twitter troll.
–
FK Jr. rambling at National Airport on making family airport travel healthier – including building more playgrounds for kids at airports. Sure, let’s get increasingly unvaccinated kids running around & breathing hard in playspaces with others. What could go wrong?
–
DOT Secretary Sean Duffy to reporters:
“My favorite thing is to take your ideas, make them my own and then sound really smart & insightful. And then you get the benefit of getting your idea implemented.” What a charming excuse for shameless plagiarism.
Duffy is also touting the idea of workout spaces including pull up bars at airports.
Great, just what we need. People listening to Duffy, dressing up to go to the airport, doing mini-workouts, then sitting sweaty and stinky next to other passengers crammed into coach.
–
–
Gavin Newsom now says he’s less concerned about President Trump, 79, possibly running for a 3rd term “I’ve softened, to your question, on this notion of a third Trump term because time of life and state of mind” Yes, he’s calling Donald “Old.”
–
Tump says his farm bailout “would not be possible without tariffs.” Fixed it for him. Remove “possible” and substitute “necessary.”
–
Your reminder that whatever lies the GOP tells about Obamacare, that they have NEVER in the 15 plus years since it passed in 2010 come up with an alternative except letting people die, or go bankrupt, without insurance.
–
Eileen Higgins tonight won election in Miami to be the city’s first Democratic mayor in 30 years…
How long until Trump sends ICE to Miami?
–
So if Trump’s Supreme Court is going to give the President unlimited power, can the next Democratic President simply expand the Supreme Court? Asking for a country that doesn’t want a King.
“When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, which is soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it [football] because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that’s called football,”
“But when you think about it, shouldn’t it really be called … this is football, there’s no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL. It really doesn’t make sense when you think about it.”
Another name? Am sure he wants “Trump”” in the title.
(and anyone think Donald has ever watched a full soccer match?
–
Meanwhile, some fans are angry with the relatively easy draw the Americans have in the World Cup.
But why would anyone think FIFA, with their sterling reputation and clearly unbiased creation of a new “Peace” prize – complete with gold trophy & medal – just for Donald Trump, would rig a draw for the USA?
(And yes, the San Francisco Bay Area, home to Gavin Newsom, has been assigned some of the least interesting matches., without a single team in the top 15 playing at Levi’s Stadium
If Somalia could only come up with a really gaudy gold trophy and a prize for Trump he’d stop attacking their people tomorrow.
–
GOP Senator Thom Tillis told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth “is responsible for the processes that led to killing survivors from a boat strike in the Caribbean.” If only Tillis had warning Hegseth was not a good man. Oh wait, never mind..
–
So Donald finally found a handful of people willing to accept his Kennedy Center Honors. Who’s left? Seriously what’s he going to do next year? Other than maybe give one to Lara Trump? Or to Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins?
–
Donald has fallen out with the architect of his new ballroom and instead hirede DC-based Shalom Baranes Associates,
Earlier in 2025 in Mr Baranes: “Advocating for the demolition of major structures on basis of stylistic preferences strikes me as callously irresponsible.”
This is going to end well..
–
Another reason not to watch CNN Just saw this headline for a video on their website: “See moment Trump wins new FIFA peace prize” Fixed it for you
“See moment Trump wins FIFA participation trophy.”
–
Sometimes NY Times gets it
“Second Strike Scrutiny Obscures Larger Question About Trump’s Boat Attacks Congress is focusing on two deaths in one strike. But nine other people died in that same attack, and the United States has killed 87 in all. Were any of those killings legal?”
–
Meanwhile Trump has decided that National Park admission will no longer be free on MLK Day and Juneteenth, but it wll be free on Trump’s brthday
On top of everything else awful about this, anyone thinkg Donald has ever volunterily visited a National Park?
