Dew what?

July 24, 2024

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls pumped his fist and shouted “Fight Fight Fight” after hitting a double last weekend, but said today it was not intended as an endorsement of the Republican presidential candidate and added he was unlikely to do it again.

Somebody told Walls that in 2020 even though Florida went red, the Tampa Bay Area voted for Biden by 7 points?

(And as a friend pointed out, Walls is hitting .160.)

–

Uh, not that it matters when you can’t hit, but WHY did SF Giants have their starter Jordan Hicks pitch to Shohei Ohtani for the third time – with two-outs, runners on base but a base open? More than beginning to see why Bob Melvin washed out with the San Diego Padres…

–

Am a longtime diet soda gal – I loved Tab back in the day, and have joked I’d drink anything sugar-free..

JD Vance said he’ll be called racist for liking Diet Mountain Dew.

Will say, while I am white, is there anyone of any race who really likes Diet Mountain Dew?

–

JD Vance is ranting in a Trump fundraising email about “shadow billionaires” raising money for Kamala Harris. Funeral services for irony are pending.

–

Mitch Landrieu nails it: “Some think VP Harris w/ all her years in many elected offices isn’t as qualified as J.D Vance who’s had ONE office, for less than 600 days… Who is the “We” in “We the people?” Some think if you’re a woman or person of color it’s never enough

–

–

Despite a fake Twitter post to the contrary,

Jimmy Carter is still alive. I remain convinced his goal is to live long enough to vote in November. As it turns out, for a candidate who will be our first woman President

–

Estimates are that between 25-35 percent of American households own at least one cat. Was it really a good idea for JD Vance to refer to “childless cat ladies?”

And not like older women, with or without children, or husbands, vote or anything…

–

Chuck Schumer, 73, is finally getting around to endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

We have an election to win, and a democracy to save. But once we have our first woman President, maybe our next US barrier to break will be having our first woman Senate Majority Leader.

Countdown

July 23, 2024

104 days until the eleciton.

But only 4 days until the Paris Olympics start

When once again, Americans become arm-chair experts on sports they see once every four years..

–

Rich people’s trash is different.

James Paxton, 8-2,, with a 4.43 ERA, one of the Dodgers’ steadiest pitchers, -only he and Gavin Stone haven’t missed a turn, , was DFA’d by Los Angeles,

Dodgers were paying Paxton $7 million. But hey, at the trade deadline they’ll only probably pick up another few $20-30 million guys and defer their contracts a decade or two.

—

Nonpolitical rant.

Worst travel weekend of year; travel agents worked nonstop to get people to destinations after airline computer meltdown. Many airlines compensating travelers for delays w/ future travel vouchers. WHICH CANNOT BE USED BY TRAVEL AGENTS. Only for direct bookings.

–

Kamala Harris – “As Attorney General in California, I took on perpetrators of all kinds.

Predators who abused women Fraudsters who ripped off consumers

Cheaters who broke rules for their own gain

Hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.” #MicDrop

–


All you need to know about how well Kamala Harris’s campaign for President has started out is to go to right-wing media websites and see how apoplectic they are.

–


Rachel Maddow is reporting that Trump’s camp is second guessing J.D. Vance as V.P pick. Thoughts and prayers.

–

So if/when Trump loses the election in November will he blame Don Jr. for pushing J.D. Vance as his running mate?

–

Has Donald Trump said yet that if re-elected he will give “the late great Hannibal Lecter” a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor?

–

Now I know Sir Anthony Hopkins is British & can’t vote in USA.

But would be really fun for the man who won an Oscar playing Hannibal Lecter to do a commercial for Kamala Harris… “If I could vote in US, I’d vote for the person who knows I played a FICTIONAL character.”

–

Looks like Kamala Harris feels like she has to pick a white male running. mate.

Will GOP call whoever he is a DEI hire?

Baseball is back Friday!

July 19, 2024

Thursday was one of those nights when many millions of Americans were wishing there was even a boring baseball game on television.

–

So if this was the “unity” speech what the heck was in the speech that Donald Trump originally meant to give tonight at the RNC

–

If you had “like nobody’s ever seen” on your Trump RNC drinking card Thursday night, I hope you drank lots of water and took a couple aspirin before going to bed.

–

–

Wait, Donald Trump said “Kim Jong Un, I think he misses me”

I guess he’s jealous of the North Korea dictator now being BFF with Putin?

–


Howard Dean sums up the chattering class right now re President Biden. “Those who say don’t know, those who know, don’t say.”

–

The only doctor who has publicly said anything about Donald Trump’s injury is the man Donald calls “Dr. Ronny Johnson.” And Ronny JACKSON also has said Trump is 6’3″ and 239 pounds.

–

Donald Trump says that J.D. Vance reminds him of a young Abraham Lincoln. Where’s Will Smith when you need him? “Take Abraham Lincoln’s name out of your bleeping mouth.”

Since the GOP is now an anti-vax party that pretends COVID is either a nothingburger or a hoax, maybe in the spirit of Joe Biden should show up at the RNC and shake everyone’s hand.

–

Needs to be said repeatedly. As much as Trump is profiting off the image of him standing up after being shot at, that act of bravado, before we knew if there were other shooters etc, not only put himself but also Secret Service agents at risk .

Oklahoma Senator MarkWayne Mullin “When you go to McDonald’s and buy three meals you spend $50.” WTF is he buying at McDonald’s?

–

ICYMI, JD Vance was asked if a woman who was the victim of rape or incest should be forced to carry a child to term.” “We believe that women and young boys in the womb should have the right to life. Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

Long-winded way of saying “Yes.”

–

Also JD Vance actually said last week ” I was talking with/ friend about 1st truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, maybe Iran, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts? We sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the U.K., since Labour just took over.” Stay classy.

–

A 20 yr old man just tried to assassinate the former President of the United States. So 8th Circuit Court of Appeal, where 9 of 11 judges are GOP, responds today by striking down Minnesota’s ban on 18-20 yr olds openly carrying handguns. Once again four words. Pro Life My Ass.

–

Meanwhile the more comes out the worse the lapses sound. President Biden’s dog Commander reportedly bit Secret Service agents 24 times. Think maybe Republicans owe Commander an apology

J

RIP Bob Newhart. Always loved this quote: People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

Break time

July 17, 2024

Love Logan Webb. But any SF Giants fan knows if he’s going to have a bad inning it would be his first inning. Which (and it’s not hindsight if you say it up front) makes him a bad pitcher to put in an All-Star game.

–

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said baseball may test robot umps with automated balls-strikes for 2025 spring training, but won’t commit to any changes, saying that the league has “technical issues surrounding the definition of the strike zone” that need to be ironed out.

In the meantime, not even a limited challenge system?

Most teams in baseball are within in a few games of a wild card berth this season. What are the odds that one of them misses the postseason due to a missed strikeout or walk?

–

National media has tied themselves into knots trying to both sides GOP & Dems.,

And now they are claiming GOP is all about unity and dialing things down.

So here’s election-denier Kari Lake at RNC, who starts out saying she loves everyone. “Except you in the fake news. You guys out there in the fake news have worn out your welcome.”

Very classy Kari.

–


President Dark Brandon Biden quoting Harry Truman “I’ve never given anyone hell. I’ve just told the truth and they thought it was hell.”

–

Elon Musk says he’s moving Twitter & SpaceX to Texas because new CA law simply prohibits forcing educators to notify families if student’s gender identity changes. He claims move is to “protect children.” In Texas a 10 yr old child rape victim has to carry pregnancy to term.

–

And while we’re at it, on Musk’s declaration that he is moving Twitter and SpaceX from California to Texas to protect children – one more word: Uvalde.

–

Btw, anyone told Musk that, for starters, 300,000 people in Houston were still without power Tuesday.?

Elon Musk also becomes the latest billionaire spending a fortune (apparently $45 million a month just to one PAC) to elect Trump… Isn’t it time for the media to stop talking about Trump as a populist? It’s ALL about the tax cuts.

–

President Biden said since COVID hit US has added 1,000 more billionaires. They’re paying about 8% in taxes. Joe Biden wants them to pay 25%. Many billionaires don’t want to pay a penny more than they’re paying. That’s why they’re buying media and trying to buy this election.

Going going gone

July 16, 2024

Is the All-Star Game Home Run Derby becoming the equivalent of the NBA slam dunk contest? As in “nobody cares anymore?”

–

Although apparently home runs today got out of Globe Life Field faster than Trump dropped his pledge to tone it down

–

Reports now that people at Trump rally first pointed out the gunman to law enforcement as early as 30 minutes before he opened fire.

If all those good guys with guns couldn’t stop him, would someone like to explain to me what good it would do to arm teachers?

–

Tonight Joe Biden showed us again while he should be re-elected as President. While Lester Holt showed us that he really wants to be the next Chuck Todd.

–

Love this line from Mitt Romney in his book “I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance.”

–


Biden campaign says JD Vance will bend over backwards for Trump. Was “backwards’ really necessary?

–

A little talked about detail.

Of all the reasons Donald Trump may have picked J.D. Vance:

Don’t underestimate the fact that at 5’7″ he was the shortest on the short list. So Vance makes Trump look taller.

=

J.D. Vance’s wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, the daughter of East Indian immigrants , seems like a smart impressive woman. She is also a practicing Hindu.

Wonder how she feels about the 10 Commandments in public schools?

–

Mitch McConnell stole two SCOTUS seats to set up the ruling for Donald Trump, and rammed through lame-duck judge appointments to get Aileen Cannon as a federal judge. And Mitch was booed at RNC convention for not being crazy right wing enough.

‘As over 300,000 people are still without power in Houston, : Texas Gov. Abbott gives utility company Centerpoint a deadline to fix power outages?

Or what, Abbott will be very very angry?

–


At this point I’m putting as much faith in “unnamed senior Democrats” as I am in “big strong men with tears in their eyes.”

–

I’ve heard from friends who are lawyers that passing the bar is very very hard.

Not sure though, if Aileen Cannon passed it, how hard can it be?

–

If Trump is elected in November, he’s going to nominate more judges like Aileen Cannon.

And if Republicans take the Senate, they’ll confirm them. #VoteBlue

Like Father like son?

July 3, 2024

ESPN headline “”LeBron James staying with Lakers.”

Okay, wouldn’t it have been a headline only if he hadn’t? Sorry Bronny, you’re on your own.

–

–

At Dodger Stadium, former Los Angeles Dodgers’ closer Eric Gagne throw a strike Wednesday night from the mound on the 20th anniversary of recording his 84th consecutive save.

Now I enjoyed the Gagne-Bonds matchups as much as anyone. But your reminder, Gagne wasn’t the only pitcher Bonds’ faced who was using steroids back in the day. To put it mildly.

MLB, however, wants to pretend if they keep a few people out of the Hall of Fame, the steroid era didn’t exist.

–

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

If the “left” allows it to be…

Like Jan. 6?

Well, I guess hanging Mike Pence wouldn’t have involved actual blood.

–

Saw Bill Clinton in 1991. Since then have seen every Democratic president(and former President Carter) plus over 30 candidates speak in person. Biden even in 2009 was lousy speaker. But governing is about doing the job & more importantly, hiring good people to support you. Joe hires & trusts, great people.

–

Why there is no satire.

Some in media are questioning why President Biden has his family including his son advising him right now.

–

So, yeah, Biden had a bad 90 minutes one night. While it wasn’t televised, Trump apparently fell asleep at his own trial almost every single day. Did a single pundit call for him to drop out?

–

Since media now obsessing about President Biden and teleprompters, this would be a good time for that same media to remind Americans that when Trump doesn’t have a teleprompter he starts talking about sharks and windmills and showers..

–

Hurricane Beryl is now expected to hit Texas and other states. So will Donald Trump say if he were President he’d just Sharpie it away?

–

I like Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. But can’t be the only one who thinks this would be a good time for C.J. Cregg in the press room.

From a facebook friend, more to add to the reading list for Oklahoma children

Ezekiel 23:20 “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”

–

Forget harder questions, for starters I’d love just to hear a reporter ask Donald Trump just to talk about what he thinks happened on the Fourth of July.

–

‘m a single issue voter in 2024

And that issue is saving democracy.

Stars of the show

July 2, 2024

Top story on ESPN.com tonight –

WNBA All-Star Roster confirmed – Snubs and top questions:

Okay, before this year how many casual sports fan even knew the WNBA even had an All-Star game

–

Caitlin Clark is good at basketball.

The defending WNBA champs Las Vegas Aces are VERY good at basketball.

The Aces blew open a close game today in Las Vegas in the 4th quarter and won 88-69.

–

For those feeling discouraged about voting in November, and thinking it doesn’t matter.

If our votes didn’t matter so much GOP wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop Democrats from voting.

–

Buried lede from NY Times today in a story about possible GOP VP candidates. “Mr. Trump has no public events this week.” So uh, shouldn’t it be a headline about how maybe the debate tired him out too much, and Donald just doesn’t have the stamina he used to??

–

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is asked at White House Press Conference “You might not want to answer this, but”Does Biden have Alzheimer’s, any form of dementia or a degenerative illness that causes lapses?

“It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question.””

–

Nancy Pelosi recommended this morning that President Biden sit down for interviews with “serious journalists.” One thing after these last few days that I would like to ask the our great Speaker Emeritus – just how many “serious” MSM journalists do we have left?


In all seriousness, imagine if SCOTUS ruled that a President was basically a King with Bill Clinton in the White House. Or Barack Obama. Republicans would be calling for burning the Supreme Court building down.

–

Why there is no satire.

Donald Trump Jr. is reposting a Vanity Fair story of a woman who worked as babysitter for RFK Jr. in late 1990s and who has now come forward with allegations of sexual assault. So does he think his dad should pick RFK Jr as a running mate?

–

CNN and other MSM attacking President Biden and seem gleeful about the idea of pushing him out over the debate…. One thing they don’t say: if Joe did step down, it would take them less than 24 hours to start attacking Kamala Harris or whoever else became Democratic nominee.

–

So GOP has ordered the Bible in every classroom in Oklahoma.

Okay kids, check out Genesis 19:30-35 “That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him….. Both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.”

Or this – Genesis 19:7-8, Lot “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”

And2 Samuel 11 King David saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful…Bathsheba the wife of Uriah.  David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.” (And then he sent her husband to get killed in battle.)

3

Hey media. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed bill in April that prevents local governments from requiring heat-exposure protections for workers.

Why don’t you ask Donald Trump if he agrees with President Biden- who is ordering heat protection for workers, or Deathsantis?


Stormy Daniels to Rachel Maddow: “I’m not a hero, I just told the truth.

Monday mourning

July 2, 2024

Monday – Another day without a starting pitcher named for the SF Giants, now missing most of their starting rotation on the IL.

Today they had the excuse of an off day

–

–

Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north. Have to figure Canadians were thrilled that government offices were closed today so they weren’t overloaded with questions from Americans about immigration.

–

CNN’s Jake Tapper just said Joe Biden should have 2 hour press conference to prove his fitness to be President with freewheeling & no doubt some hostile questions.

–

Uh, Tapper just presided over 90 minute debate where he didn’t challenge/question Trump on even the most egregious lies.

–

–


Not that it will change anything now but would really love an apology from EVERYONE who in 2016 said there was no difference between voting for Hillary Clinton and voting for Donald Trump. Yes, I am talking to you hardcore Bernie supporters.

–

CNN is actually bragging about their debate “An unprecedented debate as only CNN could do it.” This is like Norfolk Southern bragging about their Ohio train wreck.

–

Media – Bad debate night means Joe Biden is unqualified to be president. Also media: Donald Trump ranting about windmill cancer & showers & sharks & saying Liz Cheney is guilty of treason is just a shrug. Time to ask if MSM has officially joined the cult?

–

I support President BIden. He has been a good president & he is a decent man.

But has it occurred to GOP & SCOTUS that if somehow they get Joe to step down, whoever replaces him as the Democratic nominee might take a much less restrained view of absolute Presidential immunity?

–

As awful as today’s SCOTUS decision was, how many people may finally be shocked out of their complacency by Trump’s nonstop ranting about what he intends to do with unlimited power and who he intends to go after.

Anyone who knows anything about history, or has ever dealt with a two year old, knows that it’s not a good idea to give a tyrant free reign.

–

Russia has 2-term limits for President.

Putin has been in power for over 20 years & Vlad has adjusted rules to keep himself in power through 2036. It’s now ILLEGAL to vote against him

Anyone think Trump if elected in 2024 won’t try to do same in US?

This SCOTUS sure wouldn’t stop him.

Fairy tales

June 30, 2024

SF Giants never get love from ESPN.

So figured Giants improbable win over LA Dodgers with a 30 year old rookie Spencer Bivens who started pro-career in Paris making $500 a week & started 2023 in high-A ball wouldn’t be top story.

But cool that one of top Sportscenter stories WAS an WNBA game.

–

Bivens is such a cool story. His first pro contract in France in 2018 was for $500 a month.. With the MLB daily per diem for player for meals at $117.50, he’ll get more meal money from the SF Giants for a week on the road than he made in a month in France.

–

Dodgers star Tyler Glasgow came into yesterday’s game as a likely All-Star game starter.

SF Giants tagged him for 5 runs in 3 innings

Dodger star James Paxton came into today’s SF Giants game 7.1 with a 3.39 ERA. Giants have tagged him for 9 runs through 4 innings.

Baseball is a funny game.

–

Non political NBA joy! Chris Paul, one of my favorite NBA players, has signed with my favorite coach Gregg Popovich. Paul is going to look really good in a San Antonio Spurs uniform passing the ball to Wemby!

–

Weird fact, LeBron James may be playing with his son Bronny next year, who is 20 years younger than he is. But Wemby is 19 years younger than Chris Paul.!

–

For that matter, Diana Taurasi and Caitlin Clark are about 20 years apart. And this picture is nice – game recognizes game.

–

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction says educators who refuse to teach students about the Bible could lose their teaching license. So they’re asking atheists to lie to their students. For starters.

And if they are going to teach the Bible, what about the Song of Solomon? Or the story of Lot’s daughters getting dad drunk so they could have sex with him and get pregnant? Or David and Bathsheba.

–

Been thinking: How many of us have had something important at work or involving being a parent or just an adult where we felt like crap & not at our best, but showed up anyway because it’s what you do

Just possible many Americans respect and empathize even more with President BIden now.

–

Does anyone think Donald Trump personally picked his 3 SCOTUS judges, or all his federal judge nominees? But to be fair, Presidents in general rely on their staffs & advisors for nominations. So we want Trump’or Biden’s staff to be making the next 4 years’ nominations?

–

SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito was missing from the bench recently. Presumably he was ill. Since he ruled that judges know more than experts I trust he consulted a conservative judge friend rather than going to a doctor.

–

Many smart people who went to 3 years of law school & became judges last took a science class in high school. Now SCOTUS is saying judges know more on regulatory issues with food, water, air etc, than scientists with PhD’s? Vote blue at least to get judges who trust experts.

–

Biden ran against 26 Dems in 2020 primary. Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar endorsed Joe same day. At Dallas rally when Amy mentioned the debates,

Biden leaned into microphone & said, “all of which you won.”

Winning the Presidency is not about being the best debater, then or now.

–

For the NY Times it went downhill faster when President Biden wouldn’t grant them an interview. New NY Times motto: “All the News That’s Fit to be Petulant.”

–

Why isn’t today’s Maureen Dowd line on Biden getting more press?

“Got to know Biden in 1987 when he was running for president…I knocked him out of that race when I wrote about how he cloaked himself in the life of Neil Kinnock.”

She’s gleefull, and self aggrandizing about the idea of destroying Joe.

As many in national media behave like a bunch of sharks smelling blood in the water. remember -for them it’s about ratings and clicks. Their goals are not democracy’s goals.

RIP Cha cha

June 28, 2024

RIP Orlando Cepeda, 86, less than two weeks after Willie Mays, 93, passed away. Thinking baseball heaven has added enough SF Francisco Giants to their All-Star roster for a while.

–

(And if you want to honor Cepeda, the Cha Cha Bowl at Orlando’s Carribbean BBQ is one of the best things at Oracle Park.)

–

As the NBA draft concluded, kind of cool that more Americans probably know big names drafted in the WNBA than the NBA for 2024.

–

SCOTUS just ruled six-three that the judiciary, not experts who work in government agencies, should be in charge of making regulatory decisions.

So when those six get sick assume they will ask their fellow conservatives for medical advice rather than going to a doctor?

–

–
Nonpolitical rant: Summer started last week – And this week’s Safeway ad has “Early back to school sale.”

–

Asked about Trump’s iie that she was responsible for January 6, Nancy Pelosi responded “He thinks I planned my own assassination? He’s sicker than i thought.”

Madame Speaker Emeritus is, as always, badass.

–

Thinking back to 2016, remember media making big deal of Trump bringing Bill Clinton’s accusers to one of Donald’s debates w/ Hillary. They barely mention not only did Melania not bother to show up, but also Trump is a felon in part because jury said he DID have sex w/ porn star.

–

Buried lede in NY Times anti-Biden editorial. “It is a tragedy that Republicans themselves are not engaged in deeper soul-searching after Thursday’s debate. Mr. Trump’s own performance ought to be regarded as disqualifying.”

–

Remember, the NY Times, who now wants President Biden to step down, earlier this year wanted President Biden to sit down for an one-on-one interview but Joe refused…

They haven’t forgiven him…. Same as Maureen Dowd didn’t forgive Obama for blowing her off once.

All the news that’s fit to be petulant.

–

NY Times “Former President Trump’s attacks were frequently false, lacked context or were vague enough to be misleading.” Why is it so hard for them them to say these two words “Trump lies”?

–

If you needed reminder that far more important than Biden having bad night are 200+ judges Joe & Dems have gotten confirmed:

Supreme Court overturns 1984 Chevron precedent, curbing power of federal government. Want more Biden judges? Or more judges like Alito & Aileen Cannon?

—

President Biden will not be on the ballot in 2028

Donald Trump will not be on the ballot in 2028

Whoever is elected President in November, however, will appoint federal judges between now and 2028 who will have lifetime appointments. Vote accordingly.

Debatable and undebatable.

June 27, 2024

Sigh, who else saw Luke Jackson coming in the 10th and thought “game over?” #SFGiants

–

Can anyone imagine if SCOTUS were asked to rule on treating a medical emergency of a man taking Viagra and having an “erection lasting more than four hours”? They’d have a decision in mens’ favor within four hours

Yes, President Biden had a raspy voice and seemed like he had a bad cold. Not his best performance. But Washington Post headline. “Biden struggles. Trump deflects questions.” Should have at the least been “Biden struggles, Trump lies.”

–

A CNN exec in the control room reportedly said “We are very proud of Jake and Dana. Our job was to make sure candidates were heard so voters can make informed decisions and we are pleased we were able to do that.”

Has someone drug tested CNN executives?

–

Now I REALLY wish Dana Bash had skipped the debate to announce the women’s Congressional Softball Game as she usually has done last night… She’s good at it, far better than her softball performance as a CNN moderator tonight.

–

President Biden says Trump has the morals of an alley cat. Okay, Joe’s first lie of the night. Alley-cats have far better morals than Donald Trump.

–

Can someone remind Donald Trump please during this campaign that the people he is now bragging about firing, he HIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

–

NY Times “Facing Trump’s Misleading Attacks, Biden Appears Shaky at Times.” They have no problem attacking Biden but can’t say “Facing Trump’s LIES?”

–

But hey, anyone still on fence about voting in November?

Presidents appoint Federal Justices beyond SCOTUS. Biden has now gotten over 200 judges confirmed & would get probably that many confirmed in 2nd term with a blue Senate. Want more Biden judges? Or judges like Aileen Cannon?

–

President Biden stutters & at times sounds old.

Joe’s been a great president and surrounds himself with a strong staff & Dem leaders who he trusts and relies on for advice & counsel

Trump blusters & lies at top of his voice. He listens only to himself. The choice isn’t hard.

Sweet home Alabama.

June 20, 2024

Rough night for SF Giants who lost 6-5 to the St. Louis Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, when starting pitcher Keaton Winn gave up 5 runs in 2 innings

But a great tribute night. (Retired pitcher CC Sabathia, 43, on hand for the game, might have been a better starter.)

On a brighter note, Willie Mays has to be smiling that Heliot Ramos, 24, a home-grown rookie, now playing center field for the SF Giants, hitt a three-run home run for the SF Giants. #ByeByeBaby

–

Has MLB considered having the Oakland As play some games next year at Rickwood Field in Burmingham? The stadium holds 10,800. Far more than the As draw most home games.

–

Los Angeles Lakers hired J.J. Redick,, who has never coached before, as their next head coach on a four year deal.

So maybe J.J. figures he can learn the job for the first year or two as Lebron James’ assistant coach?

–

Had people ask how I could support former Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards, who is VERY anti-choice. Wasn’t easy, but Bel Edwards is a Catholic who does support welfare. And as I said and we see now, the alternative is much worse. – Governor Jeff Landry is the man who just signed the bill saying schools and universities must post the 10 commandments.

–

Still want to know as a Saints fan… will the Ten Commandments need to be posted in the New Orleans Superdome? Most home games ARE played on the Sabbath.

–

Buried lede – Orlando Sentinel story – Disney employees sue over canceled relocation to Lake Nona campus

“After Disney reversed plans, home prices in Orlando area fell..Since 2022, home prices in LA have climbed.” Wait, thought DeSantis claimed everyone wants to move to Florida. –

–

Wonder how many pregnancies result after men use Viagra? If the Comstock Act were applied to mailing erectile dysfunction drugs, men in Congress would have repealed it years ago.

–

In 2000, SCOTUS decided Bush v. Gore in 4 days. Now it’s been about 115 days just on Trump’s claim of absolute immunity. Three of these judges were appointed by Donald. They don’t need a ruling to be their quid pro quo. A delay is working just fine.

Not just that the story has leaked how other (conservative) judges advised Judge Aileen Cannon not to take the Trump classified document case. But that these conservative judges are so upset by how bad and biased Cannon is, that they talked to people who would leak the story.

–

Trump VP running mate wanna-be J.D. Vance – “I’m extremely skeptical that Mike Pence’s life was ever in danger.” Translation “I want to be President badly and I’ve convinced myself Donald would never turn on me like he’s turned on everyone else eventually.”

–

As much as we complain now about SCOTUS and Aileen Cannon, there isn’t much we can do about current judges with lifetime appointments. What we CAN do! Vote Blue in November so President Joe Biden will keep appointing new judges, & a Democratic Senate will keep confirming them

–

Donald Trump repeatedly says things to remind us he is terrified of sharks.

Would it be against the debate rules next Thursday if President Joe Biden decides to make his walk-out music the theme from Jaws?

So young…

June 19, 2024

Someone asked me when I became an SF Giants fan.

The answer was 1986. Thompson, Uribe, Clark.

And Will Clark just posted this picture from May 1, 1986.

–

–

Willie Mays would have appreciated the SF Giants gritty effort to come back from a 6-1 deficit today to only lose 6-5, as a former Giant he’d probably have more enjoyed the Dodgers walk-off loss to the Colorado Rockiets and the NY Yankees 10 inning loss to the Orioles.

–

Former Stanford star & now Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink tore her ACL, today. Earlier this month Brink was named to four-member U.S. women’s 3×3 team for Paris Olympics so must be replaced.

Have never watched 3×3 basketball so don’t really care. And apparently per friends you need to be really tall.. But let the Caitlin Clark controversy begin again….

–

Edmonton Oilers are now one win away from forcing a game seven in the Stanley Cup finals…. Yeah, still long odds. But it’s been such a long drought – 1993 – since a Canadian team won.

If the Oilers do come back could they thank Trump for basically congratulating the Panthers after they went up 3-0?

–

Donald Trump fills up a black church with white supporters – supposedly to show his connection to the black community.

But can’t be bothered to say or post a worth on Juneteenth. Make it make sense.

–

Okay, the RNC has told reporters who want access they can’t ask Donald Trump about 2020 elections at RNC convention.

Can they ask how he feels about the Ten Commandments which Louisiana is posting? Special emphasis on #6 (adultery) & #9 (coveting thy neighbor’s wife.)

“I did try to f**k her. But she was married…”

–

Rmember those commercials “Is it live or is it Memorex?”

Today it’s “Is it NY Times Pitchbot (satire) or is it a real NY Times headline.” This is latter.

Front page. “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. keeps ravens as wild pets. They’re better behaved than a jealous emu that attacked his wife.”

–


So has Donald Trump joined Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un’s alliance yet?

–


As of Tuesday, 110 days had passed since SCOTUS court agreed to hear the Trump immunity case. And still no decision. Almost as if Donald told them to delay it.

Perseverance…

June 16, 2024

If you didn’t read the story of pitcher Spencer Bivens, 29 years old and now 1-0 with the SF Giants, it’s worth a few minutes. Even if he never wins another game. Story is from 2022… which means he’s kept the dream alive 2 more years.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3898494/2022/11/15/san-francisco-giants-spencer-bivens

–

Lots of parity in MLB this season, where in the National League only the Marlins and Rockies are realistically out of the Wild Card race at least.

And there there are the Chicago White Sox. 19 and 54, with after 73 games a minus 155 run differential.

Almost enough to have baseball fans long for English soccer where relegation down a level is a possibility. …

–

Actually like Mookie Betts even if I dislike the Dodgers. But for all these headlines about what a blow it is to Los Angeles to lose their star with a fractured wrist, have to assume the Dodgers willl just find a small-market team to trade them a star with a big contact and rewriite the contract to give that player a huge deferred salary

–

Thinking my Los Angeles friends may not love this Adam Schiff fundraising email for US Senate from California against Steve Garvey. But we in the SF Bay Area approve: “Once a dodger, always a dodger, and not in a good way…” #BeatLA

–

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum this morning talking about Trump -“This guy is tireless, he’s committed, he’s smart, he’s funny.” After statements like that, how does Burgum get the boot-polish off his tongue?

–


Uh, absolute top story on front page for New York Times on Saturday was headlined: “One week that revealed the struggles of the anti-abortion movment.”

Almost as if the NY Times is sympathizing with the anti-choice movement taking away women’s rights and putting women’s lives at risk.

–

One problem with the media being so in the tank for Trump these days. It feeds into Donald’s narrative that he is going to win and if he doesn’t that the election is rigged. Not like Velveeta Voldemort needs any more ammunition to try again to overturn an election.

–

Trump fundraising email from this weekend

Sat, Jun 15 at 6:54 PM “You still awake? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I CAN’T GO TO BED UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU!” Note the time stamp. It’s not even 10:00 PM in Florida. Donald is telling us he’s too tired and old to be President.

–

And the same weekend Trump said at a rally of President Biden “”I think he should take a cognitive test like I did. I took a cognitive test and I aced it. Doc Ronny. Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president…

Yes, ICYMI, Trump bragged about passing a cognitive test and forgot the name of the doctor – Ronny Jackson -who gave it to him.

–

Admit I clicked on story about President Biden’s dog Commander biting Secret Service agent, though thought dog was no longer at White House. Was right. Commander isn’t in DC now. These are newly released records from Sept 2023. Yet it made headlines. Competence isn’t clickbait.

Just a number…

June 12, 2024

RIP Jerry West, 86.

He was one of my first favorite NBA players when I was a little kid and used to spend a couple weeks at Christmas with grandparents in Ridgecrest, CA. Lakers games were regularly on TV. But how could have he have possibly been 86 years old. ?

–

Something having nothing to do with Caitlin Clark nor Angel Reese that may help the WNBA: We appear to be one game, at most two, away from the end of the league’s major professional spring competition – the NBA playoffs.

–

From Marc Ragovin -“A recent study casts doubt on the longstanding theory that repeated failures are learning experiences that ultimately lead to success. The study participants?: The Toronto Maple Leafs.”

–

Waiting for the first Republican who has been celebrating Hunter Biden’s conviction to introduce legislation for drug testing at point of sale for all gun buyers.

–


‘Life-threatening’ flooding in South Florida as severe rains continue to fall

Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just signed legislation he pushed to delete Climate Change from Florida policy. Science doesn’t care if you believe in it or not.

As hundreds of flights have been canceled and much of south Florida is under water, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared an emergency for Broward, Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade, and Sarasota counties.

Isn’t it nice at least to know that if things get worse, President Biden will step in offering federal aid without recriminations?

–


In North Dakota voters said 81 is too old to serve in Congress. Have they talked to nearby Iowa, who just re-elected Senator Chuck Grassley, now 90?

–

So is Sen.Grassley, 90, suffering from dementia or is he just a shill? “In our constitutional system, you gotta rely on what judges & juries decide. Sorry for Biden family but people decide what justice is” Asked if that applies to Trump “it’s an entirely different situation,”

–

If President Biden seemed as disconnected from his son Hunter as Donald Trump seems from all his children not named Ivanka pretty sure Hunter would never have been prosecuted.

–

So Trump is terrified of sharks. How much do I want some Democrats to show up outside his rallies playing the theme from Jaws?

–

Trump fundraising email of day has video message full of angry lies calling his trial a “rigged case,” with Donald saying “we’re going to do something about it. Very big.”

Uh, gag order aside, that sounds like a threat. DOJ, if you’re listening.

Of all issues GOP think Americans care about, would someone in do-nothing House like to explain how “holding Merrick Garland in contempt for not releasing audio tapes of interviews with Pres. Biden even GOP special counsel said showed no crime?” is high on that list? I’ll wait.

–

The biggest problem with Republican Larry Hogan, who was a semi-moderate Governor, running for U.S. Senate from Maryland.

Republican party leadership now demands absolute loyalty for anyone who wants committee assignments etc. Hogan would be a reliable GOP vote for whatever Mitch’s successor tells him to do. If you want a voice for Maryland, vote Angela Alsobrooks.

Senator Chris Coons “The highest court in the land should not have the lowest ethical standards.” How is this controversial?

–

Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsey Graham is blocking effort by Senate Democrats to unanimously pass a Supreme Court ethics. When John McCain died he took Lindsey’s soul with him.

–

Some hate-filled right-wingers claim Jill Biden isn’t Hunter’s mom because she isn’t his biological mother? Has anyone pointed out that one of many anti-choice lies about abortion is all fetuses could be adopted if brought to term? But now adopters aren’t parents?

–

Some Republicans, including Speaker Johnson,want to make America all about the Bible

So has a single Republican attacking President Biden over Hunter read Luke 15:11-32? (the story of the prodigal son)

Tonics.

June 10, 2024

SF Giants found one cure for the baseball doldrums. Play the Houston Astros

–

U Conn coach Dan Hurley has turned down a six-year, $70 million offer from the Los Angeles Lakers to stay in college basketball

So he didn’t want the stress? Or he the Lakers didn’t offer Dan enough of a severance package for when LeBron James was going to get Hurley fired?

–

Sports media is spending far more time on Caitlin Clark being snubbed for USA Olympic team than they are covering some very good and exciting WNBA games. Like Las Vegas Aces vs Los Angeles Sparks last night. Far more competitive and closer than Mavericks-Celtics.

And that the Connecticut Sun are now more fun to watch than the Phoenix Suns were this year.

–

NY Mets owner Steve Cohen says his team can still turn around its season and fans “have been through worse.” Well, yes, in 1962 for example.

–

As GOP gleefully try to spin and spread a satiric post as truth about Trump’s felony convictions, thinking these are the people in my wayward youth we convinced to go on a snipe hunt.

–

Apparently Donald Trump is terrified of sharks, which partially explains a rambling rant about boats and sharks at his Las Vegas rally.

So which enterprising Biden supporters will show up at his next rally playing the theme from Jaws?

–

Found this buried in AP story on Trump Vegas rally.

“Clark County Fire Department said most of the medical calls were related to the heat, and six people were sent to a hospital & 24 others were treated on site.”

SIX sent to hospital? Seems like that should be a bigger story.

–


So how do you virtually pee in a cup for a probation officer? Asking for a convicted felon who is not a friend.

–

NY Times does front page story headline “Biden Loves to Tell Tall Tales – We Cut Them Down to Size.” But no headline on Trump’s rambling word salad speeches – or his accidential truth yesterday “I don’t care about you, I just want your vote.

–

Sorry media, you don’t get to cover billionaire David Sacks having a Silicon Valley fundraiser for Donald Trump without saying that Sachs ALSO had a big fundraiser last year for RFK Jr.

–

I trust Four-Star General John Kelly a lot more than I trust convicted felon Donald Trump.

–

Increasing reports of people requiring medical aid & even needing hospitalization after Trump’s vanity rallies in scorching heat. Assume numbers are worse than reported since some of his followers would rather die than report attending Velveeta Voldemort’s rally made them sick.

Stretched out…

June 7, 2024

After Game one of NBA finals, there’s a break for 48 hours until game two. Game seven, if necessary, is June 23.

If Major League Baseball spread out their playoffs like the NBA did, World Series Game 7 could be Christmas Eve

–

One reason to be careful demoting MLB players to minors: Cubs’ IF Nick Madrigal had hand broken by pitch in 1st game in AAA.

Yes, talent level is lower… But pitchers’ control is not as good in minors.

In 2015 SF Giants Hunter Pence had forearm fractured in Spring Training by prospect Corey Black who never pitched in MLB

–


For some reason while Fox News is headlining the Hunter Biden trial and has space on their website front page for “Matrix star leaving Hollywood,” they have NOTHING on Steve Bannon being ordered to report to prison on July 1. I am sure it’s just a coincidence.

–

Fox also has nothing on President Biden’s D-Day speech. So we know it was good.

–

And wasn’t it nice that the weather forecast didn’t matter at Normandy Beach? Isn’t it nice that it doesn’t matter. We now have a President we knew would show up for the D-Day ceremony rain or shine.


Would be very interesting to know how many wealthy Republican women – including wives, daughters and girlfriends of GOP politicians – in deep red states have flown to a blue state for an abortion since Roe was overturned.

–

New Yahoo News/YouGov poll: “After Trump felony conviction, Biden leads for 1st time in month”

Okay, which newspaper or cable news site is first going to ask “Did Biden peak too soon?”

–


AP:US hiring & wage growth picked up last month in sign of sustained economic health

CNN: US economy added whopping 272,000 jobs in May

NY Times: The pace of hiring was unexpectedly robust in May, showing gain of 272,000 jobs, but it wasn’t all good news..

Are we surprised?

–

FL GOP Sen: “My youngest daughter has been undergoing IVF treatments to grow her family. I’m Rick Scott & this grandpa will always protect IVF. You can count on it.”

So Scott means he will support abortion- ie selective reduction when successful IVF results in too many fetuses? (And it happens pretty frequently.)

–

U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention says 162 people have reported illness & 54 people have been hospitalized with salmonella following a cucumber recall by a Florida producer. So waiting for Trump & DeSantis to say – “Eat Florida cucumbers. Own the libs!”

–

Even when NY Times grudgingly acknowledges President Biden being a strong leader… And so much better than the Former Guy.

This is the headline. “Forty Years Later, Biden Seeks to Echo Reagan’s Legacy of American Leadership.”

Many GOP and right wing pundits making big deal out of Hunter Biden allegedly deliberately purchasing a gun while using drugs. So would Republicans like to work with Democrats on a federal law to drug test anyone who buys a firearm

What’s the over-under?

June 5, 2024

MLB suspended four players for betting, and permanently banned Tucupita Marcano after determining that the Padres’ infield bet on baseball.

So will there be a documentary about the investigation sponsored by Fan Duel or Draft Kings?

–

–

Whatever you think about the current controversies in the WNBA, at least people are talking about women’s basketball. Let’s hope they keep talking and turning in. (Btw, the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are especially good teams with superstars…

GOP’s latest lie is that DOJ is completely weaponized against Republicans. So how do they explain indictments against Democrats Bob Menendez and Henry Cuellar? Not to mention the Special Counsel instigated case against Hunter Biden.

I’m waiting.

–

Trump WTF fundraising email today. Encouraging supporters to donate to win a private trip with him

: “Want to take a trip together? Just the 2 of us. We’ll talk about my rigged conviction, we’ll have amazing dinner & at end of it all we’ll take a picture so we can remember this day FOREVER!”

Has anyone ever seen anything, even in conservative media, about a “lucky winner?”

–

Democrats aren’t posturing or pontificating outside Hunter Biden’s trial in hopes of currying favor with his father. The people actually supporting Hunter at his trial are his family who love him.

What a concept.

–

Pres. Biden urges Congress to pass bipartisan border legislation.

GOP Senators scuttle bipartisan border bill on Trump’s orders & say Biden has authority to fix border himself. Biden issues executive order on border. GOP attacks him for doing it.

GOP WANTS border to be a problem.

–

What a POS. Florida Governor Ron Desantis, attacking Washington DC and President Biden.

“We don’t typically depend on federal government.. Hurricane recovery is a bottoms-up thing. You don’t want Washington directing anything.”

Ron, he didn’t mention more than $9 billion Washington pumped into Florida following Hurricane Ian in 2022.. not to mention other disaster relief.

–

Progressives are not happy with President Biden’s executive order on the border and immigration. I get it, the situation is complicated. But I’ve been an active LIBERAL Democratic volunteer for decades.

Progressives are rarely happy about anything Democrats do, period.

Not a one woman show

June 2, 2024

Big Caitlin Clark fan but hate this headline. “Clark struggles, Boston exits as Fever routed by Liberty.” Fever got #1 WNBA draft pick for a reason. They were bad. And coming off a back to back.

Liberty were 32-8 in 2023, were expected to beat Las Vegas Aces in finals & are 7-2 in 2024. Give NY women their due.-

–

But how cool was it that the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever were on National television – ESPN on Saturday?

Thank you Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.

–

(And even rookie of the year Wemby couldn’t get the Spurs more than the 4th worst record in the NBA.)

–

It’s been 31 years since any team from Canada won Stanley Cup.

And Edmonton Oilers are in NHL finals.

There was the usual nice display of sportsmanship with Dallas Stars shaking hands at end of game. Wonder if Trump or one of his Texas minions will call the Stars “losers” & claim the series was rigged?

–

Tonight’s Trump fundraising email…. “A jury just convicted Trump! This is SICK!” No, this is justice.

–

Mitt Romney actually said Alvin Bragg should have settled the case against Donald. “as would have been the normal procedure,” instead of bringing it to trial.

Uh, Mitt is not a stupid man. Presumably he knows that to settle a case a defendant has to admit SOME responsibility.

–

Meanwhile, as Senate returns this week, Politico headline “Eight Senate Republicans vow to oppose all Biden nominees, Democratic legislation.” The far-right Republicans are led by Mike Lee & include VP wannabes J.D. Vance & Rick Scott. So it’s a day ending in Y?

–

GOP pretends they care about issues that matter to Americans. What is House doing? Fighting internally, sabotaging border bills, defending a convicted felon & having performative hearings like next’s week’s attack on Dr Fauci.

Democrats are the party that cares about our lives.

–

As we approach the 80th anniversary of D-Day imagine if we had today’s Republicans at the time. GOP would have opposed the invasion, claiming that Hitler guy wasn’t really a threat to us, and because it could have helped FDR against Dewey.

–

1st: Donald Trump was convicted in STATE not Federal Court & President Biden had nothing to do with the trial. 2nd:

if Joe Biden was both all-powerful & unscrupulous enough to use courts for his personal gain, wouldn’t you think he’d have made Hunter Biden’s charges go away?

In “As Good as it Gets,” Jack Nicholson says to Helen Hunt “You make me want to be a better man.”

Joe Biden inspires us all to be better men and women.

Watching the increasing level of anti-democracy vitriol from Trump supporters, it’s clear he wants them to be worse.

–

Today’s GOP: There’s no problem with supporting Donald Trump, a convicted felon with other pending cases, to be re-elected as Presidentf.

Also today’s GOP: Joe Biden’s unconditional love for his son, who is facing charges from his addict days, makes him unfit to be President.-

–

Meanwhile, congratulations to Claudia Sheinbaum, who will become Mexico’s first female president. And Mexico becomes yet another country to leapfrog the United States.

Neighbor to the north lights?

May 31, 2024

Oilers 3 -Stars 1.


Which puts Edmonton one game away from the NHL finals.

One step closer to a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993.

–

(Side note if you are lookng for a reason to root for a Canadian team. The country has very tight laws about visitors convicted of crimes, even misdemeanors. But felons are generally banned. So the country is a potential vacation Trump free zone.)

–

Was and remain a Barry Bonds fan. But while I booed him getting walked, I also understood why any smart team would do it. Having said that, why does ANYONE pitch to Aaron Judge right now with a base open?

–

Hate to see SF Giants shortstops struggling. And yes, I miss Brandon Crawford. Or what Crawford used to be. But with St. Louis Cardinals in 2024 entering tonight Crawford is hitting .097 on the season – 3-for 31.

=

Something we can get bipartisan agreement on? SO tired of hearing from Major League Baseball announcers “it’s a challenging strike zone tonight.”

There is only ONE strike zone, whatever drama queen umpires want to say. Time for robot umps, or at least challenges.

–

President Biden today was talking about a possible roadmap towards a lasting cease-fire in Gaza A roadmap that no doubt his administration helped negotiate. It got a bit of coverage. But competence isn’t clickbait.

–

So Trump & supporters claiming he can’t be treated fairly in New York court. Fine. so let Donald stop trying to delay his trial in Florida, where he feels beloved. Tell Judge Cannon to start asap. If he’s innocent & gets acquitted, THEN he can scream “Witch Hunt.” Problem solved

–

Give me a break. Trump was convicted of falsifying records to interfere with an election. But it doesn’t matter what it was. If he had just been convicted of stealing and selling classified documents, Donald’s acolytes would still attack the judge and verdict. It’s A Cult.

–

JD. Vance calls Trump’s 34 felony convictions “A paperwork violation.” Presumably Vance, who wants to be vice president, would consider Donald’s stealing and possibly selling America’s classified documents also to be “paperwork violations?”

Some experts – “Trumps’s advanced age might be a factor in not sentencing him to prison.” We shouldn’t share that… it would be very embarrassing for Donald Trump, who turns 78 in a couple weeks, to escape prison because he is elderly.

–

So far the only negative comment from a GOP Senator about Trump guilty verdict was Lisa Murkowski who said “a Republican nominee without this baggage would have a clear path to victory.” Bill Cassidy, who I had hopes for, said the verdict was wrong.

Anyone seen Mitt Romney?

–

Meanwhile, seems like this should be a bigger story: “Google said it was scaling down the use of AI-generated answers in some search results, after the tech made high-profile errors including telling users to put glue on their pizza and saying Barack Obama was Muslim.”
