Don’t mess with the bear…

November 5, 2025

California fights back

–

Meanwhile in DC, at a trial of a man accused of throwing a sandwich against an FBI agent, the FBI agent testified “he “could feel it though his ballistic vest”, and the sandwich “exploded all over” him.”

As an SF Giants fan who saw their relief pitching fail late in the season, I would like that sandwich thrower brought in for a tryout. That is some serious gas he was throwing..


–

So if you listen to Donald Trump all elections where he and GOP win are good. And any election he loses is rigged. Sorest loser EVER.

–

Meanwhile in CIncy, Mayor Aftab Pureval, the son of immigrants who is Tibetian and Indian, won re-election tonight, 78% to 22%, against Cory Bowman.

Bowman was endorsed by half-brother and VP JD Vance.

Looks like JD Vance is less popular in Cincinnati than whoever plays the Reds on MLB opening day.

–

All these pundits saying about how XYZ candidate in 2026 is outperforming Trump in 2024 Let’s say the real truth Trump himself would do less well in 2026 than he did in 2024… #BuyersRemorse

–

I feel for whoever is on ketchup bottle duty tonight at the White House.

A White House advisor said Trump would start going after GOP Senators who opposed his will on issues, including calling them at 3:00am..

Has it occurred to Donald that with Americans increasingly turning against him that attacks by him on US Senators may actually boost their chances in 2026? Oh, and many GOP senators may be old but they still know how to turn off their phones at night.

–

So MAGA Mike Johnson on Tuesday attacks Democrats and says “we trust the American people” What’s he going to say after tonight’s election results?

–

A White House spokesperson said by him on US Senators may actually boost their chances in 2026? Oh, and many GOP senators may be old but they still know how to turn off their phones at night.

–

Fox News pretends tonight is some sort of a socialist/communist revolution.

Uh, has Fox actually listened to newly elected Governors Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill?

Or more to the point listened to what far-left progressives say about both moderate liberal women?

–

The same President who says he “hope he goes to heaven,” is trying to starve women and children to score political points.

Got news for him. If there’s a heaven, it is NOT going to be his final destination.

–

As a California voter I was cautiously optimistic that Prop 50 would pass..

But 65-35? This isn’t just a win. It’s a statement. Democracy matters.

–

Finally, RIP Dick Cheney

I’m so old I remember when he was the worst President we could imagine.

And, in referencing a comment my dad in his later age once said -as a compliment to both me and him – “Cheney raised a daughter who could think for herself.”

Changing seasons

November 4, 2025

So how many days until spring training?

And how much more will the Dodgers at to that record setting payroll.

–

Donald Trump to LA Dodgers after the World Series on Truth Social “A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6 for that matter.”

“Lesser” group of men? Since money is his metric, presumably lesser paid he means.


(Dodgers were not only highest payroll in baseball, difference between them & 5th place Blue Jays, even with $69 million of Ohtani’s salary deferred, was over $100 million – more than the entire payroll of several teams.)

–

Meanwhile there are 33 standard college football bowl games… and SI.com has predictions for all of them.

Wonder how many Americans can even name HALF of those bowl games?

–

If you are attacking California Proposition 50 which would redistrict the state temporarily to responsed to Texas but have no problem with the Texas additional gerrymandering itself, may I respectfully suggest that you STFU?

–

Florida GOP rep Andy Olges “The 14th Amendment may allow Congress the authority to BAN Mamdani from office. I am looking into this.

Uh, first evict Trump from the White House because of January 6. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

–

Rachel Maddow on Trump’s approval rating on tearing down the East Wing for a ballroom. 10% approve 54% disapprove. Well, Velveeta Voldemort does claim to be a uniter..

–

One good thing after Tuesday no matter what the results.

Everyone in the US who doesn’t live in New York City won’t have to see nonstop headlines about the mayoral race. (And yes, NYC matters, but perhaps not as much as the media based there thinks it does.)

Anyone know how many Mar-A-Lago members, where memberships now start at $1 million, write the costs off as a business expense?

–

So Trump is talking about sending U.S. Troops into Nigeria to protect Christians. Meanwhile there are Christians right here in the US – many who voted for Donald, who are going to be losing healthcare and SNAP benefits and he doesn’t give a damn.

–

For that matter, about 2/3 of Jamaica is Christian. Anyone even heard Donald say a word about helping the island nation recover from Melissa?

–

Once again, Freud nails projection

“Mamdani is a charismatic swindler, I mean you gotta hand it to him, like, he can light up a stage, but he has just been a swindler his entire life.” The speaker- Elon Musk

–

As Nancy Pelosi, 85, has apparently decided she will not run for re-election in 2026, many Republicans are saying she should have retired years ago.

Funny, I missed them saying the same thing about Senator Chuck Grassley, now 92 years old.

–

Seriously? Trump now says if Democrats reopen the government he will “work on fixing the bad healthcare that we have.” So he’s not even claiming anymore he’ll have a big beautiful plan “in two weeks?

The final weekend

October 31, 2025

Meanwhile as NBA Spurs fan couldn’t be happier about the start to San Antonio’s season…

Except that I miss Pop. And it had worked out that he’d handed the reins to Becky Hammon.

OTOH, Becky’s doing okay with the Aces.

–

–

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was moved today to federal prison to begin serving sentence. Too soon to start the pool on when Trump will pardon him?

–


Amy Klobuchar today ” The President will negotiate with everyone other than congressional leaders down the street.”


If some Senators offer to give him hamburgers and a crown will he talk to them?

–


King Charles was upset over the Epstein Files enough to basically disown his own brother.

Mike Johnson is sellling his soul for a man who will throw him under the bus at the first opportunity.

–

As GOP will keep government shutdown over ACA subsidies, just to be clear, some members of Congress with children & family members with pre-existing conditions.

GOP Senator Eric Schmidt has non-verbal son on the autism spectrum w/ other serious disabilities. Eric said his son was a reason he got into politics, to help others. But HIS family will always have healthcare though. You’d think Schmidt would stand up for others.

–

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was moved today to federal prison to begin serving sentence. Too soon to start the pool on when Trump will pardon him?

–

Mike Johnson Thursday ” The Democrats do not get to shutdown the government and then make the decision on who is more important than the other and which little thing they want to fund to relieve their own political pain.”

“Which little thing?” Like SNAP benefits?

So-called Christian Mike Johnson is taking “suffer the little children” rather literaly.

–

The US Senate, 51 to 47, just passed a joint resolution terminating the “national emergency” Trump declared to impose global tariffs. Another reason Mike Johnson doesn’t want to bring the House back. He knows some of his GOP members agree this is the right decision.

What were the odds?

October 24, 2025

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups & Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were among several people reportedly arrested by FBI on Thursday as part of two separate illegal gambling-related cases,

Waiting for ESPN “This report brought to you by Draft Kings.”

–

Ann Killion in the SF Chronicle “Any assumptions that this scandal was limited to those currently implicated or that this was a one-off in the sports world would be incredibly naive.”


Two words that may turn out to be the most damaging ever to the integrity of sports – “prop bets”


And not that the horse isn’t already out of the barn and half way across the pasture, but will any two words turn out to be so damaging to the integrity of sports as “prop bets?”


So if they lose this World Series will the Dodgers just buy the Blue Jays?

–

A $1,000,000,000,000.00 -yes, one trillion increase in our national debt in 2 months.

Where are all the GOP deficit hawks on this one?

–

To all those who want Dems to trust Trump & vote for CR because he says he’ll have GOP negotiate then Remember this on his new WH ballroom? “It’ll be near it but not touching it & pay total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” The East Wing is gone.

–

So many bots and trolls trying to defend Trump demolishing the East Wing – without notice and without permits. Donald could burn the whole White House to the ground and replace it with Trump Tower and they’d shrug and say he was entitled to remodel.

–

To all those who want Dems to trust Trump & vote for CR because he says he’ll have GOP negotiate then

Remember this on his new WH ballroom? “It’ll be near it but not touching it & pay total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” The East Wing is gone.

Let us be crystal clear If Donald were proud of tearing down the East Wing he would have done it on camera with him pretending to do some of the destruction work.

–

Donald Trump says he builds”on budget and on time,”

He said in July his White House ballroom would cost $200 million

In September he said $250 million Now it’s $300 million. Dibs on $1 billion in the pool

–

No way this destruction suddenly happened without a lot of people knowing. What happened to all the treasures in the East Wing, of real or simply sentimental value? Did he destory them or steal them?

–

When asked by a reporter about not being transparent about knocking down entire East Wing, Trump said he’d shown plans to “everybody that would listen.”

Give me a bleeping break.

While he hired at least a dozen of them, he has half the people left at Fox News on speed dial.

Are these name tags in front of Hegseth and Bondi and his other cabinet members during all their joint appearances with Trump for the press, or to remind Donald of their names?

–

Fox News headline JB Pritzker accuses ICE of ‘racial profiling,’ defends comparing agents to Nazis Gov. of Illinois insisted ICE agents’ misconduct happens ‘all the time’ “They’re literally going after Black & Brown people because of the color of their skin,” No lies detected.

–

Amy Klobuchar this week “I don’t know what Trump is going to do…rubber stampers behind closed doors say to us, ‘We really need to do something about these [health care] premiums. We know it, we understand it, but they’re waiting for his orders.”

While Americans peacefully protest for NO Kings. GOP acts like we elected a king.

A true World Series?

October 21, 2025

Toronto Blue Jays have just become America’s team. In 49 states and most of California. #BeatLA

–

Texas A&M is now the first SEC football program to receive a $50,000 fine from the conference Tuesday for violating its policy on players faking injuries in games over a play where a defensive back sat down to stop play on the field, after the ball was spotted. I’ll believe the SEC is serious if they ever fine Alabama or Georgia.

–

Meanwhile on the app formerly known as Twitter, trolls love to attack anyone rooting for the Blue Jays as unAmerican liberals who can’t root for our country.

Has anyone reminded them that the Dodgers’ top player, one of their top starting pitchers and their closer are ALL immigants?

–

And now Trump is demanding people not take and share pictures of his demolition of the East Wing.

If you are proud of something you don’t want to hide it. He knows this is a desecration.

–


Meanwhile, Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia apparently per Politico has said in a GOP group chat that MLK Jr holiday “should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak.”

Waiting to see which GOP Senator comes up with the most ridiculous justification for supporting Ingrassia anyway. My money is on Tim Scott or Lindsey Graham.

–

Now Ingrassia, nominated to oversee whistleblowers, has previously said January 6 should be a national holiday. That was fine with most of the GOP..

–

A new reports says Marco Rubio betrayed drug gang informants to seal El Salvador prison deal,

Is anyone now surprised?

99-0 …His Senate colleagues thought Rubio was a decent man with a soul. Looks like they were wrong.

–

Telling Ukraine to surrender. Randomly bombing civilian boats. Having military go after its own citizens. Arresting political enemies. Thinking the rest of the World now looks at Trump’s USA like they used to look at Putin’s Russia.

–

Donald is now trying to kill the huge Gateway rail tunnel project between New Jersey and New York

Either he plans to end elections, or wants to guarantee Republicans never get another vote in New Jersey or New York.

(A great billboard, NY Democrats, if you’re listening would be on the freeway approaches to the current tunnels, and at rail stations reminding drivers that Trump wants to keep things as bad or worse.)

Did this truce even last a Scaramucci? “Israel Strikes Gaza and Temporarily Halts Aid, Saying Hamas Broke Truce”

–

Meanwhile over on Fox News “Trump calls Colombian president ‘lunatic’ as drug war tensions explode.” Only at very bottom:; “Colombian president accused U.S. of civilian casualties in maritime drug raids – alleging recent strike killed fisherman w/ no ties to drug trafficking.”

–

If Bernie Sanders believes so strongly that we need younger people in the Senate then instead of pushing so hard for Graham Painter in Maine why doesn’t he step down and find some young person to replace HIM in Vermont.

–

Bernie has a really sh*tty record for endorsements. Leaving aside fact that he might have helped cost Hillary 2016 w/ith his late endorsement, his push for Andrew Gillum kept moderate liberal Gwen Graham from getting the Dem nomination for Florida Governor in 2018. Gwen WOULD have beaten DeSantis.


Mike Johnson was first elected in 2016 and no one had heard of him until he was elected House Speaker. He deserves some sort of award for being one of the worst politicians in American history to live under the radar for so long.

Learning experience.

October 15, 2025

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

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

–

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

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

–

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

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

–

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

–

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

–

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

–

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

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

–

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

–

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

Thinking Abe and JFK, for starters, might disagree.

–

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

–

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

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

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

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

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

–

Finally on a positive noteL

Great thing about living in California

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

Rich getting richer?

October 15, 2025

If the Brewers come back and take the NLCS, then we are guaranteed a first time World Series winner.

If the Dodgers win, either Seattle or even Toronto will become America’s team.

–

Though -Dodgers pitching payroll.

Glasnow $32 mill

Snell, $28 mill

Yamamoto $18 mill

Kershaw $16 mill

That’s $94 million before Ohtani, getting $70 mill, mostly deferred.

Brewers payroll $115 mill. In short series,w/ late season injuries, a huge advantage to say “next muit-millionaire up.”

–

JD Vance brushes aside the racist, pro-Hitler, pro-gas chamber comments leaked from Young Republicans, many in positions of some power in GOP, as “a college group chat.” Kinda makes you wonder what HIS college group chats were like And we thought “locker room banter” was bad.

–

The headline about Trump sending $20 billion to Argentina during a government shutdown is bad enough What the headline should say “Donald is sending $20 billion of OUR tax dollars to Argentina.” While federal employees are working without paychecks.

–

I have a question for Donald. If he really believes he’s the “greatest President of them all, as he said today why is he trying so desperately to have states gerrymander further for 2026 to keep the House in GOP hands?

–

When he was shot,

Steve Scalise’s life was saved by the best healthcare money could buy, which he gets for free as Member of Congress. Now Scalise thinks people who are rallying to allow most Americans to keep their healthcare “hate America.”

The one who hates Americans is HIM.

–

Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t have time to negotiate with Democrats to reopen the government but he has time to nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. #Priorities

–

As the recent layoffs have gutted special education programs, your reminder that Republicans also demand that if a woman becomes pregnant and discovers the fetus has severe disabilities, she MUST carry the pregnancy to term. Pro Life My Ass.

–

Vance blames “misreporting” over story Qatar pilots would have a facility in Idaho. Pete Hegseth said Friday U.S. would be “signing a letter of acceptance to build Qatar Emiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.” Who you gonna believe, me or your lying ears?

–

How bad is Pete Hegseth?

Newsmax refused already. Now even Fox News is rejecting his proposed new press rules. Along with ABC, CBS,NBC, CNN; “Today we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements.”

–

Stephen Colbert, talking about how Pete Hegseth is allegedly getting rid of ICE agents in Chicago because they look fat and out of shape….

Sure, he only wants to see fake strong leaders who could birth a 10-pound baby out of their waddle.

–

This is the Time cover picture Trump hates. So we should not share it.

So did Donald Trump tell Speaker Johnson NEVER to bring the House back into session? Velveeta Voldemort must truly be terrified of what’s in the Epstein files.

–

So even at the Peace press conference today, DOnald has to refer to the former first lady, Senator and Secretary of State as “crooked Hillary Clinton.” What a petty LITTLE man he is.

–

Barron Trump, 19, an NYU dropout, has been appointed to the TikTok board. But remember, per his dad Barron is a genius. He can turn on a computer when it is turned off…

–


Reports that Lara Trump will be performing to close the TPUSA Superbowl halftime show.

Okay SNL, top this.

–

Beginning to wonder, did Donald Trump tell Speaker Johnson NEVER to bring the House back into session? Velveeta Voldemort must truly be terrified of what’s in the Epstein files.

Over and out

October 9, 2025

This headline aged well – “President Trump predicts Yankees ‘going to go all the way’ in 9/11 appearance at Yankee Stadium.

–

Phillies lose to the Dodgers and are eliminated on a walk-off error Eagles lose to a NY Giants team so bad they lost to the New Orleans Saints.

Do have some sympathy for police in Philadelphia tonight.

–

RFK Jr. “Two study show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. Highly likely because of Tylenol.”

Trump “I would say don’t take Tylenol is you’re pregnant “And when the baby is born, don’t give it Tylenol.”

This is Senator Bill Cassidy’s MD, legacy

–


Does anyone think Lindsey Halligan knows what “Discovery” is?

–

Bernie Sanders now that Janet Mills indicates she might enter Senate race in 2026. “It saddens me that Democrats are gonna have to raise millions of dollars fighting against each other…”

Where was that Bernie logic in 2016 & 2020?

–

Now Trump’s DOJ has indicted Letitia James… Just yesterday Amy Klobuchar reminded Pam Bondi she promised at her hearing not to let politics play a part in her decision making & to preserve DOJ Independence: “Do you believe that you have upheld that commitment?” Amy asked.

–


Trump thinks he is king & there are no guardrails.

Which means, based on his accidental public DM that after James Comey & Letitia James, Donald next will get his personal lawyer Lindsay Halligan to indict Adam Schiff.

Will GOP House members & Senators stand by for it?

–

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is now threatening to fire “problem children” air traffic controllers who are “lashing out.”

That ought to improve moral and staffing issues…

–

Meanwhile, has there ever been a bigger bootlicker as House Speaker than Mike Johnson?

–

Per KFF “About half of Obamacare subsidy users are small business owners, people who work for a small business & self employed people – including gig workers. Everything else aside do Americans want their Uber drivers not to have insurance & work while they are sick?


Trump originally said he would try to go to Egypt Friday Now he’s going for his second ‘routine annual physical’ in six months. No one really knows why, but this were Joe Biden the media headlines would ALL be speculation about his health.

–

Again for those in the back. If Trump would just tell GOP to pass legislation extending Obamacare subsidies this shutdown would be over tomorrow.

Or heck, if he even agreed to release the Epstein Files. Like THAT will ever happen.

Jays eh?

October 8, 2025

Canadian trash talking at its best. Yesterday Canadian PM Mark Carney told Trump the Toronto Blue Jays were doing well in playoffs & would be “coming down for the World Series”.

–

Note, Donald just showed up 9/11 for a NY Yankees game. #ETTD

–

Meanwhile, down in LA, playoff Kershaw was back..

(Sorry, not sorry, #BeatLA #SFGiants

–

On August 2, 2025, the Las Vegas Aces were 14-14.

They never lost in the regular season again.

Finished 30-14.

They are now up 3-0 in WNBA finals.

Becky Hammon can flat out coach.

–

–

Trump goes on a lying rant against about schools changing the gender of children yesterday in front of Canada’s PM, Mark Carney.

Carney has a nonbinary child.

Mark Carney should get the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Donald.

–

During his press briefing with Canadian PM Carney, Trump first attacked three Democrats, Jasmine Crockett “a low-IQ individual,” then AOC, then Nancy Pelosi. Hmm, wonder what they all have in common…

–

While millions of Americans may lose healthcare, Coach Tuberville is lying on Senate floor on Sharia law.

He claims: “United Kingdom is essentially gone. Mass migration has destroyed their society…US may look like Europe.” Many Americans now would love to be like Europe.


Again for those in back. Enough Democrats voted for CR to reopen govt in March. Gave GOP SIX MONTHS to figure out how to deal with ACA subsidies. GOP punted.

So millions of Americans are about to lose healthcare. Trump & GOP can extend subsidies if they really care about life.

–

GOP loves to lie about Schumer’s vote to keep government open in March: Facts, Chuck voted for a temporary CR to keep things open until Sep. 30 Trump & GOP had six months to fix ACA subsidies. They did nothing. They don’t care if Americans, mostly red voters, lose healthcare

–

Trump claims if shutdown continues he will announce firings “in 4-5 days” and “many of those jobs are not coming back.” So 1 or 2 things are true. 1. He’s going to permanently fire people just to hurt the Democrats. 2. He’s lying and he will have Vought fire people anyway.

–

Steve Scalise lies today & lectures Democrats saying THEY are prolonging Trump shutdown and making Americans suffer Scalise has free healthcare for life. When he was shot his life was saved by that great healthcare. But he acts as if healthcare doesn’t matter to anyone else.

–

Can we stop with the lie that if Democrats wanted these ACA subsidies to be permanent they would have made them permanent?

Democrats tried to do just that. But the legislation was torpedoed by Joe Manchin.

–

Will keep saying this: If the Esptein files showed Trump was innocent and some leading Democrats or even Republicans were guilty, Donald would have the files read aloud in prime time on Fox News.

–

USA Today headline “People are being notified about premium increases if Obamacare tax credits ends.” As Amy Klobuchar says “This is not a January problem. This is not a December problem. This is a NOW problem.”

–

Good news if Israel and Hamas can actually end fighting. But uh, ” the ‘1st phase’ of plan?”

And “This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed upon line?” Very soon? Like “two weeks?

–

–

A simple question. Trump lies and says residents of the cities he is invading want ICE and National Guard on their streets.

If so, why are all the officials who residents of those cities actually ELECTED saying “We don’t want them here.”?

–

Florida allows open carry of guns, so Publix, a top grocery store in the state, apparently now will too


This could make in-store disputes over too many items in the express line really… interesting?

–

Trump is going to Walter Reed this weekend for a ‘routine yearly’ medical check-up. He had his annual physical in April.

–

Speaker Johnson pretended today House Members are actually home meeting constituents in their districts.

  1. Haven’t seen ANY coverage of GOP House members facing their constituents

2. Johnson and his cult members are cowards.

3. #ReleaseTheFiles

–

Gavin Newsom is term-limited.

While I like him in the Senate some part of me thinks it would be really fun if Adam Schiff decided to run for Governor of California.

Other than Gavin, Adam might be the Californian who most triggers Donald.

(Seriously, bookmark this prediction – someone big will jump into the race either late this year or very early 2026.)

–

Easy fix:

If Trump & GOP care about our health, all House has to do is pass bill saying ACA subsidies are extended, even just for months while Congress negotiates permanent details.

Then Dems will vote to re-open government & we can save healthcare for millions of AMERICANS!

Yes, it’s not the #saints year. But at least there are moments of joy. Like watching the Rams choke away a game where not even the refs could save them. Getting over it is for sissies. #WhoDat

–

Tigers hung on and won. But watching this Detroit Tigers Cleveland Guardian Wild Card game and between Detroit stranding runners in scoring positions & game three mental errors got some painful flashbacks to watching SF Giants in 2025.

–

Remember when you graduated high school or college and on top of everything else about adulting you had to figure out your own health insurance? Since 2010 with the ACA young adults can be covered until they are 26. Thanks Democrats and Obama.

–

Let this sink in: Trump & GOP are using tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte to attack Democrats & blue cities. Trump & GOP would also now have denied the Ukrainian refugee life-saving medical care if she had survived the stabbing and been taken to a hospital.

–

Trump name appears in Project 2025 over 300 times. Probably about as often as Donald appears in the Epstein files.

–

Senate Major Leader John Thune says Republicans ‘don’t control’ White House budget chief Russ Voight. Of course not, Trump and Russ Vought absolutely control Republicans.

–

NY Times headline: “Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels.” Donald also describes his assault on blue U.S. cities, as “a war from within.” Yeah, I can see why Velveeta Voldemort thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize…

–

Trump CLAIMS he wants to reduce crime in US cities. At the same time he is cutting millions of dollars of funding to NYPD. Make it make sense.

–

If two Delta Airlines planes had collided on a La Guardia taxiway during Pete Buttigieg’s tenure as Secretary of Transportation, GOP would be demanding his resignation.

–

So the “Free Speech” crowd wants to cancel Netflix over programming they don’t like. Very on brand

–

1. Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federally funded healthcare

2. By US law, hospitals, however, cannot turn away anyone in an emergency. This law was signed by noted radical liberal Ronald Reagan.

–

GOP says, trust us, sign the CR, and we’ll work on ACA subsidies later.

Charlie Brown has a better chance of kicking the football than that “work” happening.

–

Senate Major Leader John Thune says Republicans ‘don’t control’ White House budget chief Russ Voight.

Of course not, Trump and Russ Vought absolutely control Republicans. Including Thune.

–

While our government is shut down, how many millions, billions, of our taxpayer dollars are we spending on thousands of troops in various blue cities for Trump’s war on America?

–

Give me a break. As Trump gleefully talks about layoffs and firings from “Democrat agencies” during the shutdown, isn’t it obvious that these were all jobs he and Vought were planning to eliminate anyway? Not like GOP would give him any pushback if government were open.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Yes, SF Giants weren’t top team in the NL by a longshot But in a three-game wild card series with Logan Webb, Robbie Ray & a revitalized Justin Verlander, they COULD have knocked off anyone. And Buster Posey remembers 2014 with ONE star pitcher…

–

So if per Pete Hegseth, every member of the the military must take a fitness test twice a year can we start with the Commander in Chief?

–

Self-described sexual assault survivor Joni Ernst spent her time on Senate floor today attacking Chuck Schumer for allegedly being useless. Meanwhile the DOD Secretary SHE helped confirm announced he is basically eliminating women in military’s ability to report sexual assault.

–

Senator Joni Ernst is a combat veteran and retired lieutenant colonel in the US Army. She voted to confirm Pete Hegseth, wonder if Ernst would able to qualify for the military under the “highest male standards” Hegseth wants to impose?

–

Senator Amy. Klobuchar says she doesn’t understand why GOP colleague behind closed doors says Trump is wrong but still vote with him.. Amy’s taking high road. But I don’t have to.

One word #Cowards

–

Mike Johnson lies & says of ACA subsidies: “They are arguing a December policy debate for a September funding issue.” Wrong, as Amy Klobuchar also keeps pointing out, premium hike notices go out Nov 1. “This is not a January issue, this is not a December issue, this is a NOW issue”

–

Meanwhile the “Free speech” MAGA crowd is trying to cancel another network/show – today apparently Netflix. Can we start calling them MAHA – Make America Hypocrites Again?

–

Fox News headline tonight.

When they’re right, they’re right. “Trump faces 3rd shutdown.” (Shutdowns during President Biden’s term – 0)

Fox News actually thinks this is a positive headline for Donald? “Trump taunts Democrat leaders with ‘Trump 2028’ hats in Oval Office as shutdown approaches”

–

What gets me is that we all know Donald reneges on deals so he could very easily pretend to save healthcare for millions of Americans and then try to go back on it by EO later…

But he WANTS the pain now. #TrumpShutdown

–

GOP has the White House.

GOP has the House

GOP has the Senate

And GOP is pretending that Democrats caused the shutdown

Could be worse part 2 -baseball and beyond

September 30, 2025

June 12, 2025 SF Giants were 40-29 and holding the top NL wild card spot. Could be worse.

NY Mets were 45-24 with the best record in all of baseball.

–


Never been a Mets fan. But sure would have loved to see Tyler Rogers strike out Shohei Ohtani with a 74 MPH curveball in the playoffs.

Hoping Buster Posey signs Tyler back for 2026

–

And well, we won’t have Bob Melvin to kick around anymore.

–

Only in America do you post at night about the last mass shooting and before noon the next day there’s another one. It’s the guns, stupid.

–

For all those saying Democrats should just accept a stopgap to keep the government open and then negotiate… DEMOCRATS DID THIS ALREADY IN MARCH 2025.

Didn’t work then, won’t work now.

–

Stephen Colbert quotes Trump sending troops to Portland over false Fox News report “Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different than what’s happening? Remember Don DeLillo’s White Noise? “For most people there are only 2 places: where they live & their television set.”

–

JD Vance lies and says “Democrats are basically saying to the American people, we want to give hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care.

Same JD Vance who when pressed on claiming “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” admitted “he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.

–

It still stuns me that the same state of Wisconsin who re-elected Tammy Baldwin somehow still managed to re-elect a tool like Ron Johnson.

–

If Congressional healthcare benefits lapsed during a government shutdown, Republicans would have made a deal with Democrats weeks ago.

–

Does anyone think Donald Trump’s saying he will “chair the Board of Peace to oversee the new Gaza” is anything but him planning to built Trump resorts in Gaza?

–

GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, asked on Donald’ Trumps insane racist AI video of Jeffries & Schumer: (The video had a sombrero on Hakeem’s head. )

“Sometimes president plays with the press like a little boy & a flashlight & a dog. He’s shining the flashlight here & he’s shining it there…..” But he’s not a little boy. He’s the POTUS. In theory.

–

Healthcare subsidies do not go to undocumented immigrants. GOP knows this. So why are they trying so hard to take healthcare away from Americans?

–

Whatever lies GOP tells it is not radical to want Americans to be able to have and keep access to healthcare.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson says he’s against ACA subsides but wants Dems to vote for “stopgap” to keep govt open so “we can have those debates.”

Uh Mike sent House home rather than debate Epstein files. And he won’t even swear in newest Dem rep.

He doesn’t want to debate, he wants GOP to rule.

–

Not expecting Republicans to suddenly change their minds on gun control because of two major mass shootings in less than 24 hours… But just maybe GOP could start pushing back a little harder on Trump’s efforts to cut mental health funding for veterans?

–

Serious question. We’ve often heard over the years about the FBI having stopped potential mass shootings before they happened… Is it possible that with Kash Patel’s FBI so focused on going after Trump’s perceived enemies they’ve missed signs in Minnesota, Michigan etc?

Could have been worse….

September 27, 2025

Good news, Stanford rallied from 12 points down for a last minute comeback and won 30-29 against San Jose State.

Bad news, Stanford needed to rally from 12 points down for a last minute comeback to beat San Jose State.

–

It did work out when Spencer Bivens came in to put out the fire.

But SF Giants manager Bob Melvint putting Ryan Walker into today’s game with a 4-2 lead to try to save the last start of the year for Justin Verlander should have been listed under “Insanity” in the dictionary

–

With the government about to shutdown, Trump took Friday off to attend the Ryder Cup.

Now “Europe has set a record for largest Ryder Cup lead going into Sunday singles under format that dates to 1979: Europe 11.5, USA 4.5.” Almost as if #ETTD

–

Noticing the Sunday Shows lineups: ABC, NBC & CBS, CNN all have both Democrats and Republicans.

Fox News Sunday has just J.D. Vance, while Fox Sunday Futures has 3 Republicans & John Fetterman.

And some wonder why Fox News viewers have a warped view of the world?

–

Trump now telling parents to have five separate vaccine appointments. At the same time he and GOP are stripping healthcare from millions of Americans. And many working parents already struggle to find time for every doctor visit.

–

For those worried that Trump’s will use potential shutdown as justification to order agencies to fire federal employees working for programs that are “not consistent with the president’s priorities.” We know he wants to fire those people eventually anyway.

–

Sinclair’s ABC stations stopped preempting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” starting Sept. 26. Sounds like genuflecting before Trump took a back seat to ratings and profits…

Oh please. As Trump says he is now releasing Amelia Earhart files, remember, the aviator was 39 when she disappeared. An age when Donald probably would have said “She wouldn’t have been my choice.”

–


If he didn’t write this card, Fox News would be talking about it, with a handwriting expert, nonstop.

Top 10 payrolls in MLB

All but the Astros, Rangers and Braves will make the playoffs.

(They never did know how to spend money in Texas.)

–

RANKTEAMTOTAL PAYROLL

10Cubs$210,695,945-

–

And Republicans shouldn’t be feeling smug and safe. Comey was a Republican. John Bolton is a Republican, Liz Cheney is a Republican, Mike Pence is a Republican….

–

So uh, if this Comey case actually gets to trial, does that mean the former FBI director can bring up Russian collusion as a defense?

–

For all GOP meekly standing by as Donald directs pure retribution indictment against Comey.. James handed Trump Presidency w/ his Oct 2016 statement on Hillary’s emails. John Bolton endorsed Trump in 2016 & almost was his SOS. Sooner or later, everyone ends up under the bus.

–

Today it’s a Comey indictment… Anyone keeping a list, or starting a bingo card, of all the things Trump has done to distract from the Epstein files?

–

Donald is putting a whole new spin on the phrase “Trumped up charges!”

–

Coffee prices are up over 20% in the last year.

Hey MAGA, Donald isn’t just distracting you from the Epstein files. He’s trying to distract you from the fact it’s getting harder to wake up in the morning

–

Trump says today he’s going to take “a little money” and “give it to our farmers..

But I thought tariffs only hurt other countries.

–

“I settled seven wars” is Donald’s new “big strong men with tears in their eyes…”

–

Yes – real Fox News headline about Trump new UN ambassador.

Waltz calls UN mishaps during Trump speech ‘unacceptable,’ vows funding freeze until reforms.

Waltz says escalator, teleprompter & audio problems during president’s address are under Secret Service investigation.” USA is not now a serious country

Unexpected..

September 21, 2025

Okay, who had the Indiana Fever making the WNBA playoffs without Caitlin Clark

And then upsetting the Atlanta Dream in round one.

And then winning game one of round two against the Las Vegas Aces?

Now all you liars put your hands down.

–

Meanwhile while the Mets have been in near free fall for weeks, who had the team most likely to catch them for the second wild card be the Cincinnati Reds?

–

And the New Orleans Saints are putting themselves in position to decide between drafting Arch Manning or LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier.

–

For years, Pac 12 college football games finished way too late for anyone on East Coast…

But Michigan State-USC, w/ 4th quarter starting after 11p Pacific time, finished too late for many fans on WEST Coast. (Have to wonder how Spartans were feeling after 2a their time too)

–


FBI didn’t randomly go after Tom Homan. “Investigation launched in Texas summer 2024 after “subject in separate investigation claimed Homan soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win presidential election.” MSBNC has receipts.


And the $50,000 cash is what he took from FBI undercover agents. Wonder how much he took from others?

–

Wait, Donald now says he stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. For those who aren’t into geography – Distance between Cambodia and Armenia is approximately 4,188 miles. They don’t exactly have much to fight over.

–

Trump attack on liberals; “one part of our political community believes they have monopoly on truth, goodness & virtue, & concludes they also have a monopoly on power, thought & speech.” WTAF? Donald just got a COMEDIAN fired. He wants to shut up anyone who criticizes him.

-Somebody get grandpa a map.

–

Two white American men w/ histories of domestic violence killed five police officers responding to DV calls in the last month (UT & PA.) One white American man murdered Charlie Kirk. Why is only Kirk’s murder being ascribed to a “they?”

–

Meanwhile, while Big Beautiful Betrayal cut $187 billion from food stamps & CBO estimated 10% of those enrolled- about 4 million people- would lose at least some assistance, Trump’s USDA is now ending government’s annual report on hunger..

Pro life my ass.

–

For years, women have been told aspirin may be dangerous during pregnancy & to take Tylenol. Now, perhaps to placate his insane HHS Secretary RFK Jr, or to distract from the Epstein files, Trump is going to warn against Tylenol. Yet another way to make women suffer.

–

On top of the absurdity of pretending there’s a link between Tylenol and autism, Monday’s announcement will be just one more way that Trump team is attacking and scapegoating women. (While ignoring that older FATHERS have a higher chance of autistic children.)

–

As Trump mocks Biden’s cancer & calls him an SOB, reminder, when Donald was shot, Joe issued immediate statement saying he was grateful Trump was safe & “There’s no place in America for this kind of violence. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”

We are not the same.

This is the way the world ends..

September 20, 2025

Not with a bang but a whimper

–

Sort of describes how the SF Giants season is ending.

(Let’s hope the same isn’t true for our democracy.)

–

Although, Clayton Kershaw gets a generous called strike three for his last pitch to SF Giants Rafael Devers, maybe his last start as a Los Angeles Dodger. Well, to be fair, if anyone’s earned it.

Still wish we could have seen Madbum take him deep one more time…

–

Just saying, these WNBA playoff early round games are a lot more interesting than most NBA playoff games.

–

So now the President who keeps demanding a Nobel Peace prize has a draft bill to start a drug trafficking war… which would authorize him to kill anyone he thinks MIGHT be involved with drug smuggling.

Okay then…

A third boat obliterated and alleged drug trafficker killed So is Trump just going to start blowing up random boats now to distract from the Epstein files?

–

Btw, Florida Judge Steven D. Merryday, who threw out Trump’s lawsuit against the NY Times, is a Republican appointed by George H.W. Bush, who supported Ron DeSantis in cases against COVID rules. NOT a liberal.

–

RFK Jr’s new vaccine advisers declined to recommend COVID vaccines “leaving the choice up to those who want a shot.” What’s next – seatbelts becoming optional again?

–

So how can anyone question if “The View” is really a news program, without doing the same for “The Five?” Asking for a country, and a GOP-led Congress, that knows better.

–

Sept 12, this quote talking about Charlie Kirk’s “senseless murder.”

“I’ve seen a lot of extraordinarily vile responses. Some people are cheering this, which is something I won’t ever understand.” The speaker?

Jimmy Kimmel during his monologue.

Seems like media ought to cover that too.

–

Amy Klobuchar has been making this point over and over.

Four Republicans would have kept RFK Jr from dismantling our HHS.

Four Republicans would have kept Kash Patel from dismantling the FBI.

Four Republicans would have kept Pete Hegseth out of DOD, or rather what he calls DOW.

She’s not saying it but I will. Many of the 53 Senators know better. What’s their excuse?

Happening in threes

September 18, 2025

Two WNBA game threes, decided by a hotel of three points. (Aces 74-73 over Storm. Fever 87-85 over Dream.)

(Meanwhile despite sold out games and #ratings, many if not most losing players have to fly to Europe to play because of low WNBA salaries…)

SF Giants have literally scored 1 run total -on 1 hit per game- through the 9th inning of their last 2 games. And they somehow won one of those games.

Not tonight, they were 0-7 with RISP vs. Dodgers Forget “Nothing like it.” Team motto should be “One hit away.”

–

Meanwhile, who knew that the Indiana Fever, even without Caitlin Clark, have become a pretty darn good WNBA team?

I love sports.

How many NBA teams passed on Becky Hammon because they didn’t think she was head coaching material?

@LVAces

–

As RFK Jr’s panel now recommends children don’t get MMR II vaccines,

Sen. Bill Cassidy has now invited HHS Secretary to testify before the Senate Health committee. “Because Trump called for radical transparency….”

If Cassidy only had had a vote at RFK Jr’s confirmation…

(And if he only had a vote now in the Senate.)

–

Could any reporter ask any GOP member of Congress if they would feel okay with a future Democratic president firing Greg Gutfeld because he/she didn’t like what Greg says on his show?

Asking for a country.

There’s a reason it’s the FIRST amendment.

–

3 officers murdered in an ambush responding to a domestic violence call in Pennsylvania.

2 others shot & labrador retriever killed. Not a word from Trump.

That’s how we know killer was young white male US citizen. Cody Becker, Mark Baker, Isaiah Emenheiser #sayTHEIRnames

I am so old I remember when the way to get a television show off the air was enough Americans changing the channel to have the ratings go down.

–

Is it possible what really upset Trump was Kimmel mocking response to being asked how he was holding up after death of his friend Charlie Kirk?

“I think very well & btw, see all the trucks, they just started on the new ballroom…

Kimmel “He’s in the 4th state of grief – construction.”

–

–

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” is mob speak.

‘On Sept 30, the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) fee for tourist and other visitorsvisa waiver countries increases from $21 to $40. $21 included $17 for travel promotion.

New fee has $10 for ESTA system operations + $13 levy for US Treasury General Fund(!!?) Is Trump TRYING to kill tourism?

(And where’s that $13 for the General Fund going?”)

–

Hearing GOP Senator Todd Young honoring 100 yr-old vet: “I would do anything for my country.”

It’s not that today’s GOP wouldn’t do ANYTHING for their country. They won’t even vote to release Epstein files because they’d rather protect pedophiles. Maybe one in particular.

–

Stephen Colbert commenting on British reports that despite Windsor Castle using fine Egyptian cotton, Trump had his own bed linen shipped in from the US. “That’s not surprising to me. Always suspected that Donald sheets his own bed.”

–

Stephen Colbert “Welcome to the “Emmy-winning Late Show. We should have gotten canceled years ago…” Speaking of Emmys. Donald Trump doesn’t have one.” Is Donald going to try to cancel the Emmys now too?

–

Trump actually said yesterday “he’s 1st American president to ever visit Windsor Castle.” Uh.

Actually the fourth. But tell us again how Joe Biden was old.

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/see-every-u-president-visited-132858609.html

–

How many times did late night talk show hosts make fun of Joe Biden? How many of them did he have fired? Asking for a country that still has a Constitution with the First Amendment.

–

So many claim to support free speech. But Molly Ivins was a true free speech warrior

In 2003, on when Texas declared MLK Day a holiday: “And the Klan announced that it was coming to Austin to have a big march and a rally to protest this terrible thing. Now, it’s always awful, it’s always a real pain in the butt when the Kluckers come to march. It upsets the black citizens, it upsets the Jewish citizens. Skinhead kids turn out to cheer for them, people get in fist fights on the sidewalk, and everybody’s mad at everybody for a good six months. And it is one’s bounded duty as a good American citizen, as a civil libertarian, a believer in the constitution and the principle of free speech, to stand up for the right of these blue-bellied nincompoops to spew whatever vicious dribble they want to. It says so right there in the first amendment. And I will tell you that this is a stand that will make you about as popular as a whore trying to get in to the SMU School of Theology…..”

Taking the fifth

September 13, 2025


Riley Gaines is now a Fox commentator on Charlie Kirk shooting?

–

This woman has profited more out of a tie for fifth place than most swimmers do from an Olympic Gold medal

Meanwhile, for those of us who enjoy sports as a fun distraction from the rest of the world. “The NCAA announced Thursday that it is pursuing gambling infractions cases involving 13 former players from six different schools…:”

–

NY Times. “How Law Enforcement Got the Man Suspected of Killing Charlie Kirk F.B.I. leaders touted the immense federal deployment assigned to find the assassin. But their big break came with a single tip — from the suspect’s own family.”

Shorter translation. His dad turned him in.

–
I don’t think it’s getting enough coverage how sociopathic this POTUS response is…

Reporter “: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get for about 150 years. And it’s gonna be a beauty. It’ll be an absolutely magnificent structure.

-Nor does he get called out enough. on complete BS


Donald. ” California doesn’t have ballot boxes. They send out 38 million ballots, nobody know where they are going and they come back, Democrats get more than Republicans. It is unfair…

In California you are notified when your vote by mail ballot is being sent

And then when they receive it, and when it has been verified and “will be counted.”

And they do verify.

My husband once scrawled an illegible signature. He got his sent back with a letter saying, return it with a signature that matches or bring it in person.

-National Guard members have civilian jobs in their regular lives. How many lives and businesses is Donald upsetting with these deployments?

If social media seems worse post Kirk murder.. Utah Governor Spencer Cox. “Many posts fueling outrage are not from fellow Americans. Our adversaries want violence. Bots from Russia, China, all over world, trying to instill disinformation & encourage violence.”

Coming up Aces

September 10, 2025


The Las Vegas Aces just activated Cheyenne Parker-Tyus. She is eligible for the last two games of the season and the postseason. Cheyenne missed the 1st 42 games of WNBA season because she gave birth to a son on July 1 . Weaker sex my ass.


In a divided country sometimes doesn’t seem like there’s anything Democrat and Republicans agree on. Except that the San Francisco 49ers made the right move by waiving Jake Moody.

–

Not sure what the MLB record is for stumbling into the playoffs.

But seeming like the New York Mets are looking to break it…

—

JD Vance “Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump”?

Mr. “grab them by the p**sy?” Mr. “I moved on her like a b*tch?” Mr. “If she wasn’t my daughter maybe I’d be dating her?” Since you asked, yes, it sounds EXACTLY like him.

–

This actually did age well.

The birthday book certainly puts a new possible spin on Putin’s reputed Trump “pee tapes.”

–

SCOTUS at least temporarily is allowing ICE to question & detain people based on factors like a person’s ethnicity or them speaking Spanish. FIFA, if you’re listening, not too late to move the World Cup and avoid a disaster.

Hey Fox New viewers, especially women They won’t show you this, but this is how your leader Trump feels about women.

·”Things that take place in the home they call crime….If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime.”

As Trump got a West Point group to cancel an award for Tom Hanks, who has done serious work on behalf of veterans, think it’s time for the Oscars to give Tom a lifetime achievement award. Not only would it be the right thing but #RATINGS

–

Donald pretended to be “brave” to meet his cabinet at a DC restaurant Trump doesn’t have the cojones to meet with Epstein victims.

–

The past, present & future of MAGA.

1. There’s no Epstein birthday card

2. Trump didn’t sign the birthday card.

3. The signature is a forgery

4. So what if he signed the card.

5. The girls were asking for it.

6. The girls should be punished for lying about Dear Leader. #Cult

–


So if he lied about signing a birthday card what else has he lied about?

–

Watching Trump use government to attack all his perceived enemies, increasingly wondering, are GOP members of Congress just political cowards

Or have Donald’s minions dug up dirt on most of them?

–

So some GOP politicians are claiming that a fraudster knew in 2003 – back when Trump was a Democrat- that Jeffrey Epstein would be convicted of horrific sex crimes & Donald would become a Republican President. And so they faked Trump’s signature? Two words Yeah. Right.

–

If he’s innocent, why didn’t Trump just say the Epstein birthday card was “locker room banter?”

–

John Thune and John Cornyn are wringing his hands over some of Trump’s nominees “having had to put their lives on hold” because of what he calls a Democratic blockade.

Funny, I missed GOP outrage when Tuberville blocked over 450 (!) military appointments.

–

ICYMI.

GOP/MAGA is fine with Russia bombing Ukraine into rubble; killing civillian women and children on a daily basis.

They are good with deporting Ukrainian refugees who may be killed when they return.

But when a Ukranian woman is murdered here, they profess outrage.

Diversions

September 4, 2025

Yeah, there are more important things, but one advantage of being a sports fan is that as scary as the world can be, you can still take pleasure in small things. Like the Dodgers being swept by the Pirates.

–

And the Dallas Cowboys losing…

–

Some talk about how the brawl in Colorado this week really bonded the SF Giants as a team. Believe it but as a woman sports fan have to laugh. Overgeneralization perhaps but women often bond over great conversation, men bond fighting together….

–

But okay SF Giants at a 4.6% chance of the postseason are now the 7th place team with the biggest chance to end up as the final wild card.


Sports broadcaster Kate Scott has been assigned to call Vikings-Steelers on Sept. 28 for Westwood One, the official network audio broadcast partner of the NFL. She will become the first female play-by-play announcer to call an NFL game.

Remember her from KNBR years ago. You go girl.

–

Exactly ONE year ago today. Sept 4, 2024. What a difference a year makes. Trump teases releasing Epstein client list if elected: ‘I’d certainly take a look at it’

–

It’s actually pretty simple. And need to keep saying this

If the Epstein Files didn’t have Trump’s name in them then Velveeta Voldemort would have them released and read nightly on Fox News to prove the accusations are a Democratic hoax.

–

New Ohio Senator Jon Husted praising Trump & attacking DC as having been crime-ridden. Cleveland is regularly on list of most dangerous cities in the US.

So why aren’t he & Gov. DeWine asking for National Guard in Ohio? Ohio, please fix your error & bring back Sherrod Brown.

–

On different note, bipartisan coalition who have introduced legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress is something.

One of most unusual groups of legislators to ever share a dias: Led by RI Dem Seth Magazine & TX GOP Chip Roy. Including Anna Paulina Luna & AOC.

–

Surprise, Fox News did not covering the Epstein victims’ news conference.

–

Am all for severe penalties for drug dealers.. But Fox headline “Jaw-dropping footage shows moment U.S. missile vaporizes Venezuela ‘drug boat’ as Trump reveals 11 Tren de Aragua gang members were killed.” Besides due process issues do we trust Trump as to who IS a gang member?

–

Legislation passed on bipartisan basis in Congress to give gold medals to police officers who protected US Capitol on Jan. 6. 140 officers were injured, 15 hospitalized.

Where are GOP members of Congress who KNOW pardons were wrong and compensation for rioters is much worse?

–

So a trans person shoots kids in school and GOP wants to take guns away from all trans people.

An anti-vaxxer tries to shoot employees at CDC building and kills a police officer. By that logic shouldn’t we take guns away from all anti-vaxxers? For starters.

–

Lawrence O’Donnell points out something not getting enough attention: Today in RFK Jr’s hearing. Idaho GOP Senator Mike Crapo refused to put RFK Jr under oath… As if perjury would have stopped him, but still…

–

Trump administration today said it will drop Biden plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation for airline caused flight delays. American, Delta and United all donated $1 million to Donald’s inaugural.

Chaos up, corruption up, costs up.

–

Has Donald even tried to fabricate an excuse why voting to release the Epstein Files would be a “hostile act?”

–

Many countries have the death penalty for drug smugglers. Singapore and Indonesia for examples. So by Trump logic, if Americans travel to either country and their government suspects them of drug trafficking they can just shoot them?

–


As Trump increasingly is using government to go after all his perceived enemies now wondering.. Are some of these members of Congress genuflecting before him because he has threatened to audit their taxes, financial records, mortgage records, etc and/or those of their families?

So the man who begs daily for a Nobel Peace Prize is renaming the Pentagon the Department of War… Okay then…
