Left Coast Sports Babe

Shaquille O’Neal tonight “San Antonio will beat OKC in the Western Conference finals.”

–

Has Trump demanded the Olympics give him a gold medal yet?

–

Meanwhile F-22s were pulled from the Super Bowl flyover for “operational reasons.”

So is Velveeta Voldemort going to start another war or just pouting that no one wants him at the Super Bowl?

And your reminder – Donald is not making an easy 5 HOUR flight on Air Force One to the Super Bowl because he is afraid of being booed at a record level for a President.

–

As most of the world covers right-wing social media & Fox News are ignoring how much JD Vance was booed at the Olympics opening ceremonies,

Have to figure GOP is thrilled and relieved Donald Trump won’t be at the Super Bowl.

Donald Trump on posting his racist video against the Obamas responds with one of his mantras

“I didn’t make a mistake.”

“I never lost anything, I never make a mistake….”

America made the biggliest mistake twice in 2016 and 2024

–

Really loved Timothy Busfield’s character reporter Danny Concannon on “The West Wing.” (who ended up marrying CJ)

Today Busfeld was indicted on child sex abuse charges by New Mexico grand jury.

Sad, but if he’s found guilty he should rot in jail.

See how easy that is?

If you’re not in a cult.

–

–

All this MAGA outrage is probably going to get a lot of boomers and Gen Xers who might have skipped the halftime show to tune in to see what the Bad Bunny fuss is about.

–

White House excluding Democratic governors from its annual governors meeting.

Donald is still mad at Maine Governor Janet Mills for challenging him publicly last year

Biggliest baby ever.

–

Agree with Jasmine Crockett, who has reason to be furious about Trump’s racist Obama meme.
Jasmine says, Yes, it’s awful, but we’ve KNOWN he’s racist. He’s also REALLY good at distraction. And right now he’s distracting from the Epstein files & allegations of raping little girls

–

So let’s get this straight.

A racist meme with the Obamas suddenly offends Republicans.

But they had no problem with Donald’s birth certificate lies.
Or JD Vance’s “they’re eating the dogs and cats” lies.
Or Trump’s demonizing entire population of Somalis.

If the hood fits…

–

So Trump is now blaming a staffer for the racist meme he posted about the Obamas..

But what does President Stephen Miller say?

–

He wants to deport Liam because the little boy made him look bad. It’s that simple.

–

Chuck Schumer calls Trump claim Dem leader suggested renaming Penn Station after him ‘absolute lie’

Anyone following me knows I’m not huge Schumer fan. Wish he’d given Senate leadership to Amy Klobuchar.

But Chuck has more 100 % than integrity than Donald.

–

Starry likes Amy Klobuchar’s voice. She is a good judge of character.

“It’s been the most difficult time & year. Doesn’t mean that we just look away & look down & say I’ve had it. I think it means the opposite. You stand your ground, you get involved & you never give up…”.

Meanwhile back in the assisted living home that the White House has become, Donald posted dozens of insane things last night. Including that Barack Obama had manufactured evidence against him and his “landslide victory” in 2016, to help steal the 2020 election.

Donald is beyond insane.

If Barack Obama were both that all powerful and that evil, don’t you think he’d have figured out a way to rig the election for Hillary Clinton?

–

Formerly sane conservative Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota claimed on Fox that most protestors in Minnesota are from out of state…

As if most people from out of state could handle the cold…

–

Melania calls her husband “the unifier President”

Apparently now his pressing Jeff Bezos on a vanity project has unified Americans in agreeing on the biggest flop movie of all time.

–

Melania this morning in an interview about the demands of parenting “You need to be there for a child nonstop, especially when they need you, especially at that age that Barron is.”

1. Barron is 19.
2. He didn’t even show up for his mom’s movie tonight.

=

As Trump prepares to name a new Fed chair and continually attacks Jerome Powell, it’s useful to remember who appointed Chairman Powell in the first place.

–

Susan Collins says today that ICE has ended enhanced operations in Maine.

And how troubled will she be when she finds out Donald has lied to her?

Or did it just occur to Trump that GOP is about to lose another Senate seat?

San Antonio Spurs just beat the Lakers handily. After losing to the Grizzlies.

Victor Wembanyama talking two days ago about the Spurs’ frustrating tendency to play down to competition: “The good this is, we can match up with everybody and look anybody in the eye. The bad thing is, we look everybody in the eye.”

–

Stanford football fans remember this. There were years the Cardinal would beat a team like Oregon and USC, then lose to San Jose State.

–

Just saying, while RFK Jr, says we should eat meat and fat and avoid sugar, a Big Mac has as much sugar as two Oreos.

–

Remember when Kristi Noem was supposedly on Trump’s VP list until she bragged in a book about shooting her dog? Beginning to think that killing actually raised her in Donald’s estimation.

–

So if Renee Nicole Good instead of trying to drive away from ICE agents had jumped on the window of an ICE building with agents inside and tried to break in with a knife would Trump supporters be eulogizing her?

–

A 30 something Chicago friend of mine helped stand peacefully outside her child’s school last year to protect kids from being snatched by ICE to lure the parents. Told her good for her. She did say at one point “They won’t shoot me, I’m white.” Guess we’ve sadly proven that wrong..

–

Trump administration is considering offering the people of Greenland $10,000 to $100,000 per person to vote to secede and join the United States.

To join a country where random Federal agents with limited training can shoot you dead if you make them angry? Thinking hard pass..

–

In NY Times interview “Trump did not give precise time range for how long USA would remain Venezuela’s political overlord. Would it be 3 months? 6 months? A year? Longer? “I would say much longer,” Trump replied. How long until he sends US military to fight & die there?

–

How rest of world sees us:

BBC : “Trump withdraws US from key climate treaty & dozens of other groups White House says decision was taken because those entities “no longer serve American interests” Half of those 66 groups were focused on climate change. Some on preventing sexual violence.

We have become a sh*thole country

Trump just said he’ll take steps to keep large institutional investors from buying single family homes. Shares of Blackstone, largest such investor, fell 9% Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman is a leading Trump donor So what donation or prize will Schwarzman need to give to Trump to get an exemption?

–

Noem “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” Translation, we want him out of public eye until he can claim he was miraculously healed.

–

Politics aside, if Trump will lie about a fatal shooting that we could all see with our own eyes… What else does he lie about?

–

“I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions” Lillian Hellman, 1952, to the Un-American Committee of the US House of Representatives. Would that GOP members of Congress had her conscience, or cojones.

Already, feeling like the longest year in US history.

Where’s another PopTarts bowl when we need one.

Between Mike Pence and the GOP state senators I am actually rooting for Indiana to win the National College Football Championship.

–

This is the week when NFL coaches whose teams underperformed in 2025 get fired, even with a long-term contract. Shame in the US we can’t do that with our President.

Hey GOP members of Congress, none of you would trust Donald Trump to feed your cat for a weekend. Or probably even water your plants. Why are you trusting him to be a de facto King?.

–

Note to Republicans and Trump toadies saying “Greenland SHOULD be part of the United States,” the country actually closest to Greenland is Canada.

–

Meanwhile just because the Venezuelan people didn’t want to be run by their own crazy dictator, doesn’t mean they want to be run by America’s crazy dictator.

–

Marco Rubio is claiming that he cares about protecting free speech for Americans. He won’t even speak out to protect free speech for one of his former Senate colleagues, Mark Kelly

Trump was right about something, he is “Little Marco.”

The problem is that Trump has gotten into his head that the ‘Donroe Doctrine’ is his thing. He’s now very focused on this. And it’s hard to come to an agreement with the Danes when Trump thinks he can just take it.”

Is it time to start checking for brain worms?

–

It’s not just the ACA subsidies. Trump’s petty revenge against blue states by cutting off money will make it almost impossible for Republicans to win.

–

Among the campaign issues of 2024, I somehow missed the “cost be damned, morals be damned, the US has the imperial right to take over anyone we want..”

“Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland”

–

GOP Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla tweeted this weekend “Democrats have total egg on their face[s] from previous operations saying we’re going to be in these protracted long-war operations that did not take place. President Trump is not the protracted war president.” Maybe bookmark this tweet?

Whatever else Trump is throwing at the wall- wars, invasions. attacks on immigrans as well as Americans who disagree with him #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp is still trending on Twitter-

–

Have heard Senator Amy Klobuchar talk of how on January 6 she and her fellow Senators were in hiding in fear of their lives.

She was especially concerned about some of the older Senators and Capitol Police break into the cafeteria to get food for everyone.

Republican Senators were there. But sniveling cowards now won’t stand up for the truth.

Assuming even most of the older ones remember…

–

And upon further reflection. Yes, I’d love Amy Klobuchar to lead Democrats in the Senate, at the very least. But watching the GOP led-Senate kowtow to a would-be King, short-term Amy may be able to mount a more effective resistance as Governor of a purple state.

Oklahoma Sooners fans have to be upset about their team blowing a 17-0 lead to lose to the Crimson Tide tonight.

Also upset, millions of Americans who really didn’t want to see Alabama anymore in the playofs.

–

Ohio University fired football coach Brian Smith allegedly – “for cause” – extramarital romantic relationships, (including one he admitted to with a student) as well as an allegation of public intoxication.

How long until Smith gets hired for a position involving athletics at Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon?

–

So it takes less than 24 hours to put Trump’s name ON the Kennedy Center. But 30 days is not enough to take Trump’s name out of the Epstein files.

–

Did anyone think he was really going let Pam Bondi release the files?

–

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

–

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

–

As Trump buyer’s remorse sweeps the country. Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis says she will not run for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2026.

Anyone seen Liz Cheney lately?

–

Hard to know truth of Trump claims today on deals to lower prescription costs, though Dems have fought to lower drug prices for years.. But buried lede? “The 9 companies also will sell discounted medications directly to consumers through TrumpRx.” There’s ALWAYS a grift.

–

If you’re a parent and your kid’s teacher says they’re calling other kids names like “retard” and “piggy, and attacking relatives of classmates who just died, you’d be appalled, right?

So why if you’re a GOP member of Congress are you okay with such behavior from the President?

There have been six College Football Bowls already.

Wonder how many Americans, including alumni, can name a participant in any of them.

–

From Marc Ragovin “The Colts are hoping that Grandpa Phillip Rivers will lead them to the promised land. Well he is a generational player. Unfortunately it’s the Greatest Generation.”

Your reminder, Colts QB is not only the oldest player in the NFL, he is eight years older than retired QB Andrew Luck.

–

Portuguese are considered white Europeans. So is Trump now going to limit white European immigration and start some EU travel bans?

But yes, even though they are white Europeans and Caucasians, Fox News headline “Foreign national suspected in Brown shooting, MIT murder, found dead in storage unit, officials say” “Foreign national?”

Fox can’t spell “Portuguese?” Or it drives them crazy that they can’t call him Palestinian?

–

Too soon to know all the details but imagine if a mass shooing suspect had escaped during Biden’s presidency and allegedly murdered another person. While the FBI director did a publicity tour with his girlfriend..

–

GOP blocks measure 50-50 – to reverse RFK move on HHS transparency which would’ve required HHS again to make its rulemaking and budget slashing open to public comment. GOP Senator Bill Cassidy MD voted no… Once again “Pro Life My Ass.”

–

Whatever you think about transgender people, still stunning that GOP House can’t be bothered to pass legislation to save healthcare for millions of Americans, of all political persuasions but can pass a bill basically banning all gender treatments for minors…

–

Again, when you’ve even lost the Daily Mail..

Last night’s headline ‘ Trump promises massive holiday gifts to millions of Americans in primetime tirade blaming Biden for all his problems”

–

“Transgender for everybody?” WTF does that even mean?

–

If anyone’s aging parent had delivered a speech like Donald did last night that parent’s next address would be an assisted living home. #Presidentialaddress

–

MNSure, Pennie, Apple Health, Husky Health, MaineCare, Soonercare, Covered California, TennCare, Healthcare .gov These and others are all Obamacare. How many Americans, especially Republicans have no idea?

–

So many new plaques with insane claims under on the Presidenial Walk of Fame at the White House

I would say our President has the mentality of a 10 year old bully but at least kids can be educated or grow out of it.

–

Pretty clear Trump has informed Carr that the only allowable media is state media. Remember, Donald wanted Kimmel canceled for mild comments about MAGA and Charlie Kirk. Amy Klobuchar correctly points out -what if Jimmy had posted anything like what Trump did about Rob Reiner?

How is SNL going to top Wednesday night’s Presidential address for this weekend’s cold open?

–

It will ALWAYS be the Kennedy Center. Period.
