So who has Trump blamed Turkiye’s last minute goal again USMNT on?

The 2026 NBA Draft is over.

And for anyone wanting nonpartisan amusement, save some of the “winners and losers” projections. Especially these days.

For comparison, Tim Duncan and Stephen Curry were drafted at 2 after four years of college

Most top picks these days are 19

 Golden State Warriors actually picked the oldest player in the first round – Yaxel Lendeborg. He’ll be 24 when the NBA season starts. Older than most of the San Antonio Spurs starters.

Realize as a sports fan that many athletes I root for don’t share my political/religious beliefs. And that’s fine. I have friends who I disagree with politically

But when players put their political/religious beliefs out there publicly it does invite controversy. Especially when they aren’t playing very well. Yes, I am talking to you, some SF Giants pitchers.

Sean Duffy’s youngest child, who is seven, has Down’s Syndrome, which means the girl will probably hear many derogatory insults in her life from ignorant hateful people

But yesterday it was her father throwing around the term “libtard.”

Amy Coney Barrett has 2 children adopted from Haiti

At same time she voted with SCOTUS majority to deny TPS status to people, including children, from Haiti.

So Haitian parents who love & want better life for their kids should just beg rich white Americans to take & adopt them?

As some media report National Park Service official lie about reflecting pool being cut, despite 24-7 surveillance etc.

“If someone says it’s raining & another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out window & find out which is true.”

Trump now put up a temporary Ferris wheel on the National Mall.

Okay, I’ve seen what happened with the reflecting pool.

Ride on that Ferris wheel? I’d rather get on a ride put up temporarily in a Kroger’s parking lot by an old drunk carnie.

Mike Lee, who has become a true cult member, is one of Donald’s staunchest allies on the “Save America Act.”

Senator Lee is from UTAH.

Which has 100% vote by mail.

Make it make sense.

So oil prices are at least temporarily failing
Meanwhile, carrier fuel surcharges jumped over 30% when the war started. From about $2100 to $2800 on a business class ticket to Europe.
Anyone want to opine on when or if THEY will fall?

The Save America act is an oxymoron.

What a complete sh*t he is

“Trump cancels bipartisan housing bill signing in effort to pressure lawmakers on election legislation”

Got news for him.

Americans didn’t vote for him to rig elections.

Americans voted for lower prices, including w/ housing.

November is coming.

Ratings and other games.

May 27, 2025

So as of tonight, Oklahoma City, and Indiana are one win away from the NBA finals.

And OKC and Indianapolis combined have a population of about 1.6 million.

Will ESPN show highlights of the NBA finals between NFL OTA highlights?

For the first five games of this nine game road trip, SF Giants have scored nine runs, four in the first game.

If these keeps up, won’t even be about winning games, the Giants won’t be able to make big bucks at the team store selling “game used bats.”

I didn’t know who Todd and Julie Chrisley were. But again, Velveeta Voldemort shows that if you donate to him or are a celebrity who supports him, all crimes are forgiven. Donald would probably pardon Timothy McVeigh if he were still alive.

Hey Georgia MAGA: Todd & Julie Chrisley found guilty of defrauding many Atlanta banks out of over $30 million in fraudulent loans. They walked away from over $20 million in loans by declaring bankruptcy. Who ultimately pays that? Stockholders & other bank customers. Like you!

How many Republican proud Harvard graduates are silent now as Velveeta Voldemort tries to destroy their alma mater? Profiles in cowardice!

As felons get pardoned, and hired, in Trump administration…. I’m so old that I remember when Bill Clinton was impeached over a consensual sexual relationship, and Cabinet nominees stepped down over immigrant nannies.

King Charles speech in Canada to parliament. ” Canada faces a critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination & freedom, are values Canadians hold dear & ones which their goverment is determined to protect.”

Diplomatic speak for “suck it, Donald?”

Leaving everything else aside, as our US President refers regularly to the Governor of California as “Newscum,” remember that GOP lost their collective minds when Jasmine Crockett referred to Governor of Texas as “Hot Wheels”?

Kevin Cramer, sole GOP Senator on Canada trip: “Don’t want to get in Trump’s way….Hopefully I navigated it OK, but I’ll find out on Truth Social. Sad he’s openly scared.

But FIVE Senators on were on the trip Cramer, Klobuchar, Kaine, Shaheen & Welch.

Same MSM media that says Democrats should be doing more doesn’t headline them at all.

The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping new plan to investigate students’ social media pages for posts that they disagree with. All incoming international students will be forced to undergo “vetting”..

This is great news for University of Toronto, already a top school, and about to become the most sought-after college in North America for the best and the brightest around the world. Won’t be bad for McGill, McMaster and University of British Columbia either..
