One of the all-time calls. But hey, how often do you get to call a catcher hitting a walkoff inside the park home run

Last one was in 1926…

–

Apparently a Marco Rubio impostor is using AI voice to call high-level government officials. How did they know it was fake?

The imposter didn’t praise Trump every sixty seconds?

–

SCOTUS today overrode lower court orders freezing Trump’s massive federal workforce layoff plans.

If you think Donald’s approval rating is low NOW, wait until he lays off hundreds of thousands. Will affect not just them but businesses where they spend $$ & services they provide.

–

Actually today while workng watched most of Trump cabinet meeting ias background noise

Challenge ANYONE to watch Donald in action at these meetings & tell me he’s in his right mind.

Even Fox cut away as he ends by bragging about his White House decorating, finding trophies etc, “Sometimes I like frames better than the pictures.”

–

How many times in a year do we need to have “one in a lifetime” weather events before some people acknowledge that climate change is real?

–

Wonder if we could offer Donald Trump a Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for resigning?

–

Does Donald have some sort of a dart board in the basement where he throws darts to figure out his next tariff move?

–

Hurricane season has barely gotten started. So will Trump claim DOGE cuts at NOAA and NWS etc, aren’t going to affect anything that goes wrong when those storms hit too?

–

Keep seeing Twitter attacks on immigrants who have been in US decades & have some minor infraction on their record as teenagers

Wondering how many of these trolls have ever say, drank underage, hunted/fished without a license, paid or received cash they didn’t report, etc?

–

Brooke Rollins claims that “34 million able-bodied Americans on Medicaid will be able to replace agricultural workers… 22 million people on Medicaid are 50 and over. We’re gonna put Grandma to work picking fruit? Got it.

With everything going on in the Mideast right now might be accurate but perhaps not quite as funny to say “The Colorado Rockies have won three in a row. Let’s hope this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse.”

–

Whole SF Giants team showed up to watch Rafael Devers’ introductory press conference. Alas felt too much like the hitters then just showed up to watch him bat during the game. 1 for 13 with RISP.

–

Small nice thing. The WNBA is regularly now featured in the headlines and on Sportscenter.

–

From my Twitter friend Sarah Ironside ” Good thing for Jim Jordan that trump is setting the world on fire. Maybe now no one will notice that the documentary about him covering up sexual abuse at Ohio State just came out on HBO Max.”

–

Media paid little attention to Donald Trump’s comment at G7

“The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them, That’s the ultimate protection.”

Heather Cox Richardson “Commenters often note Trump talks like mob boss, but rarely has his organized-crime style of governance been clearer…

–

With everything going on in the word, Donald posted tonight to brag that he is putting two huge flag poles on the White House lawn.

Ther question, what flags will he raise? US flags? Russian flags? Trump flags?

–

Senator John Cornyn claims it is urgent the Senate have hearings into former President Biden’s mental acuity….

At same time our current President is rage tweeting in middle of the night, name-calling other elected officials and contradicting himself on a daily basis…

–

As former Senator Bob Menendez reports to prison after being convicted on bribery charges, too soon to start the pool on when Donald will pardon him in exchange for becoming a Republican?

–

Not getting enough coverage why Mike Lee finally deleted tweets about MN assassinations He told a reporter that talking to Amy Klobuchar made difference “It was important to her I take it down. “We’re good friends. I took it down.” Reaching across aisle still matters.

(And yes, it’s sad he cared more about losing Klobuchar as a friend then the fact that two people were murdered – plus their dog – and two more were injured)

Bummer that Caitlin Clark has a quad injury and will be out at least two weeks.

But again cool that this is one of ESPN’s top 5 headlines “Fever fall to Mystics in first game without Caitlin Clark.

Wasn’t that long ago that many might have seen Fever and Mystics and figured it had something to do with COVID or some other disease and odd cure ideas.

–

Need a reason to root for OKC in the NBA finals? Their superstar, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, SGA, is Canadian.

–

Since the foreign students in USA, at Harvard and elsewhere, all have visas, the government already knows their names. And a lot more personal details. This is all performative.

–

Trump: “Harvard wants to fight. They want to show how smart they are. And they’re getting their ass kicked.”

What does he think this is? A schoolyard fight between 12 year old boys at his fancy prep school?

–

How long until David Hogg publicly says he’s become a Republican?

–

How do you KNOW when a reporter at a Trump press conference nails something? When Velveeta Voldemort’s response is “that’s a nasty question.”

–

Lost in the coverage of Donald’s outrage over TACO label is coveage of the fact he said he won young people by 37%.

Trump did NOT win young people by 37% He didn’t even win “young people.” While admittedly by less of a margin than Joe Biden, Kamala Harris did.

Dementia dementia dementia… Where’s the book – Orange Sin?

–

If someone like Marco Rubio were in charge when his grandfather came to the United States, Marco himself would never have been born with a chance for US citizenship.

Hey fellow Democrats. Maybe if we want to protest Trump events we should put a “Trump Always Chickens Out” Taco Truck at every rally corner.

–

So which restaurant will first offer the “Trump chicken TACO?” “Like nothing you’ve ever seen before, orange, fatty, supposed to be hot but slathered in Russian dressing.” And a lot more expensive than advertised.

At 8-42, the Rockies just finished the worst 50 games in MLB history since 1895.

Tonight, they knocked off the AL East leading NY Yankees 3-2.

Baseball is a funny game.

–

Do any of these folks cheering Trump attacks on Harvard realize that he won’t stop at Harvard? It’ll be your alma-mater next. Or if you didn’t go to University, maybe the school with your favorite college football or basketball team.

–

Hey MAGA. As Donald escalates his xenophobia to banning foreign college students, are you ready to kiss even red-state teams’ successes goodbye?

Florida just won national NCAA men’s basketball championship with Australian power forward , Nigerian center and Slovenian guard.

–

WTAF? Trump now justifying his attacks on Harvard by alleging that it’s foreign students at Harvard who need “remedial math?” Man who bankrupted CASINOS and who thinks tariffs are not a tax says what?

–

I’m so old I remember when Trump criticized Biden over Hurricane Helene relief & lied that FEMA spent money helping immigrants & not North Carolina residents. He got NC electoral votes & now takes FEMA money from the state to pay for billionaire tax cuts and his military parade

–

–

There is one reason Velveeta Voldemort is threatening 50% tariffs on the EU. They had the audacity to sign a rare minerals deal with Greenland.

The Independent and others are reporting that at Donald’s high priced crypto coin dinner the food was awful. “Spirit Airlines level” said one..“Worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” TikTok personality Nick Pinto, who invested $300,000 in Trump family cryptocurrency, ..only good thing was bread & butter.”

So overpriced, overhyped crap. Sounds like a metaphor for his presidency.

–

Bible says “it profit not a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul.”. Meanwhile Jake Tapper sold his soul, (and trashed his ratings) in hopes of a bestseller and will have his books on the remainder shelf by summer.

–

Former Republican member of Congress David Jolly of Florida goes there. “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and arguably unwell.” Biden is no longer President and no longer has power. We need to focus on the threat to our country right now.

–

We need a book about Trump’s decline and the coverup. Some REAL journalist want to write it? Got the title for you – “Orange Sin.”

Friday night Wilmer Flores won the game for SF Giants with 8 RBI’s on 3 home runs. (Giants won 9-1)

Tonight he Wilmer won the game with an RBI bases loaded walk.

Baseball is a very funny game.

–

Flores has 42 RBIs, Judge now has 41.

Arson Judge: 2025 Salary $40,000,000

Wilmer Flores: 2025 Salary: $3,500,000

–

Wilmer Flores now has seven career grand slams. To put this in perspective, Barry Bonds only had 11.

–

Guess we’re not going to hear MAGA crow about Journalism after today’s race. #Preakness150

–

There have been major wildfires in Minnesota Tornados did major damage and killed at least 27 people in Missouri and Kentucky

Meanwhile our President is ranting on line about Taylor Swift, Bruce Springstein & SCOTUS justices he himself appointed.

I miss Consoler-in-Chief Joe Biden.

–

As New Jersey Transit engineers strike enters its second day, have to think Joe Biden, who loves trains and unions, would have brokered a deal by now.

–

Donold also posted an AI video of himself performing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

Journey is a San Francisco band who has already told one member not to perform for Trump. Lawsuit coming in 3.2.1….

–

But both Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have spoken up strongly in last week about Trump & his administration trying nonstop distraction. And media ignores their warnings and takes the bait.

–

“So grandpa, why is USA no longer considered a world power? “Well, you see, sonny, we elected a mad tyrant bent on destroying our country from within but people and the media were too focused on the previous President being old…”

And then there’s the faux outrage on the seashells 8647 picture James Comey posted.

A meaning I remember of 86 from my waitress days is “sold out”

And after this week watching him kissing up to Mideast royalty in exchange for a plane & no doubt other promises, thinking millions of American can agree that Donald has definitely sold out

–

FBI reportedly moving 1,500 personnel from D.C., closing storied headquarters

Kash Patel lives in Las Vegas. What’s he going to do? Demand the federal government build a new FBI headquarters on the Strip?

–

Fox News never missed a chance to attack President Biden when the economy had so much as a hiccup. Now for the first time in history, Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. credit rating from Aaa to Aa1.

Fox News. Crickets.

–

Really interesting that none of the three judges Trump appointed are backing him on his most egregious acts. (Alito, appointed by W. and Thomas, appointed by his dad, are Donald’s most steadfast disciples.)

–

SNL season 50 finale tonight – James Austin Johnson as Trump in cold open “See you in the fall… if we still a country.”
