Various costs.

December 3, 2024

No one hurt or died but Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison, 22, pleaded not guilty to DUI charges from July, when he was charged aftera West Los Angeles police officer allegedly per ESPN “found him asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls Royce that was blocking a lane of I-105 westbound near the airport.”

Again have to wonder, why do any NFL players with their contracts do anything other than take taxis or uber?

—

Blake Snell is the latest to joing the Dodgers in their salary game… A five-year, $182 million contract with $66 million deferred through 2046 –when Snell will be 54.

And presumably he’ll retire to a no income tax Red State by then.

Somewhere Bobby Bonilla is smiliing. If not the California tax board.

–

Of all the Trump picks who could have withdrawn, did not expect it to be Florida Sheriff, Chad Chronister.

Apparently over MAGA outrage because he ordered arrest of a pastor for holding church services during height of COVID.

Too sane?

–

Glad to see younger leadership with Amy Klobuchar & Cory Booker moving up to #3 & #4 in Senate. A

And Amy already showing again that she gets it. “Schumer, gesturing to photographers after leadership elections, asked fellow Dems if they should flash thumbs up.

Klobuchar “No, we should not.”

–

Does it make any difference to our lives as Americans if Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden goes to prison for victimless crimes when he was an addict?

No But it does perhaps matter to have for example, a Donald Trump’s daughter’s father in law is chosen as French Ambassador -who riles France. Not just because he doesn’t speak French, but because he hired a prostitute to seduce his brother in law. And sent a video of them having sex to his sister

–

A judge again blocked Musk’s multibillion pay package at Tesla. When it was originally approved, board said they needed to pay him that much to keep him fully engaged in running the company. Running the company? How can Leon do that from Mar-A-Lago while #ElonIstheRealPresident?

–

Another reason not to watch CNN. This headline: “Democrats left fuming over Biden’s decision to pardon his son — after he repeatedly said he wouldn’t”

Story says “SOME Democrats fuming.” Not the truth, which is that most Democrats said nothing negative about Joe’s decision.

–

If anyone thinks somehow that President Biden pardoning his son Hunter made any difference at all to Trump’s plans to pardon anyone who commits or committed crimes for him, I want some of what they’re smoking.

Time passages

November 30, 2024

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus has been fired. Perhaps he can use some of his newfound free time to learn how to count and read a clock?

–

Though many families looking to avoid political arguments must be thankful to the Chicago Bears Thanksgiving day for giving them something to agree on. As in how can an NFL team’s clock management be THAT bad?

–

Remember when Tom Brady was playing and if it was close the officials seemed to always find a way to help him win?

Yeah, with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs it’s kind of like that.

(Today it was a Raiders fumble after an illegal procedure call with the play originally blown dead before the snap.- But with the call changed to allow a fumble… As Raiders were in range for a potential game winning field goal.

–

AOC reportedly is thinking about running for President in 2028.

Bad idea for two reasons.

1. AOC is too far left.

2. AOC is not far left enough for the far left.

Why is it such a surprise Canadian PM Justin Trudeau flew to Mar-A-Lago to meet with Donald Trump? As the leader of our Neighbor to the North, Trudeau needed to talk about those tariffs. And as a convicted felon, Trump isn’t allowed to enter Canada.

–

Wonder how we got here? USA Today headline: “Trump talks about ‘effectively closing’ the border with Mexican president.”

Click on story. “Trump touts Mexico’s ‘effectively closing’ the border after call with Sheinbaum. She disagrees.” Headline should say, at least, he CLAIMS (if not “Trump lies”)

–

Vito the Pug won Best in Show at the #WestminsterDogShow

Disappointing all fans of lap dogs who were rooting for Lindsey Graham.

–

In Piedmont a wealthy suburb in the East Bay not far from San Francisco, three 19-year olds died and one was rescued albeit seriously injured with severe burns after Tesla Cybertruck solo crash where the vehicle burst into flames. No reports yet if they were trying to use self-driving mode and/or if alcohol was involved.

Truly sad story, but Fox News hasn’t covered it at all. Now if one college student is killed by an undocumented immigrant speeding in a car, it’s front page news. But apparently three rich white kids dying because a Tesla turned into an incinerator… crickets.

–

Bomb threats and swatting are wrong. Period. Fox News was all over it when it happened this week to some incoming Trump cabinet appointees. Yesterday, many Democratic Connecticut lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Murphy were targeted w/ bomb threats. Fox didn’t even mention it.

What’s in a name?

November 26, 2024

Three-loss Alabama is still given a 37% chance to make the 12 team college football playoffs.

Despite two of those losses being to Georgia and Vanderbilt.

Why? Presumably because they are Alabama.

–

The Washington Commanders were 7-2 on November 3, two days before the election Since then, they are 0-3.

Is this the football version of #ETTD?

–


Golden State Warriors had 17 pt 3rd quarter lead against the now .500 San Antonio Spurs & lost Saturday by 8.

Tonight they had 18 pt 3rd quarter lead against the worse and undermanned Brooklyn Nets, and lost by 10.

What’s Steve Kerr’s strategy Wednesday against the 13-4 OKC Thunder?

–

Just asking…. if Republicans are planning to allow Trump to havehis Cabinet appointments not need background checks nor Senate Confirmation, does this mean when the next Democrat wins the White House, they’re okay with her/him doing the same thing?

–

Amy Klobuchar pointed out today on ABC’s This Week. Eisenhower started FBI background check for Cabinet officials. “We require FBI background checks for DEA agents, for 1st time prosecutors for federal govt. Why wouldn’t we do these checks for most important jobs in US govt?”

–

Sadly whoever Trump finally gets confirmed as AG may in the end wind up doing less damage to our country than Merrick Garland.

–

Dear Chair of Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin – Please subpoena Jack Smith for a hearing on the information he has on now dropped January 6 & documents cases.

If not, give the gavel while Dems still have it to someone with the courage to do so. Sincerely, America

–

–

Trump claims it was “huge” that Tulsi Gabbard has become a Republican. Another sign of dementia. Tulsi has been a Republican for years.

Why do I think this story will NEVER be covered on Fox News. “Ricci Wynne, Fox News darling and SF hater, lands in jail as suspected pimp.” He was detained at SFO with a woman last night and arrested when police found “probable cause.”

Per the SF Chronicle – “Following a search warrant on Wynne’s residence, police located cocaine, a digital scale, a loaded Glock pistol that was determined to be stolen out of Fremont, as well as two female individuals, one of whom was underage.”

—

US farm industry now begging Trump to spare them from his promised mass deportations- per USDA & Labor about 1/2 of 2 million farm workers are undocumented.

What about meat, dairy, hospitality, restaurant, construction, caregiving industries? We’re entering FO phase of FAFO.

–

Some people think JD Vance will invoke the 25th Amendment on DonOld after inaugural day. Not so sure. If he does that how can Leon stay on as the real President?

–

JD Vance says now if Donald had lost election he might have spent the rest of his life in prison. Uh, exactly. Because a JURY would have looked at the evidence in several cases and probably convicted Trump of many more felonies.

–

Trump claims it was “huge” that Tulsi Gabbard has become a Republican. Another sign of dementia. Tulsi has been a Republican for years.

–

Wise friend once said, “traffic is anyone but me driving on my block.” For millions of Americans “unnecessary government spending” is any spending that doesn’t personally benefit them.” Many of them may be about to find out how much government spending DOES benefit them. #FAFO

–

I’m so old that I remember if Russia loved a Cabinet nominee that would be reason enough for Republicans to vote against him or her.

–

ICYMI. The man who has been lying about Democrats weaponizing the Justice Department is making plans to weaponize the Justice Department.

Who’s in charge?

November 21, 2024

Had a trivia game tonight where they asked which team J.J. Reddick was the head coach?

Well, actually the real head coach is Lebron. But Reddick has the title with the Los Angeles Lakers.

–

MLB Commission Rob Manfred on increasing doubts that the A’s will ever play in Vegas. “

“I understand there seems to be some sense of doubt that persists out there, but [owner] John Fisher is completely committed to the process,”

Think I speak for all baseball fans when I say the only process Fisher is committed to is making money.

–

The day the football team got back to Louisville. DB Tayon Holloway, the play whose unsportsmanlike conduct penalty put Stanford in position for a game winning field goal, was arrested for first-degree strangulation and fourth-degree domestic violence assault.

According to a police report obtained by Louisville television station WDRB, Holloway allegedly attacked a woman in an apartment near the Louisville campus after she tried to get him to stop smoking marijuana.

He seems nice.

–


Amy Klobuchar with Lawrence O’Donnell announced she was presiding at midnight in the U.S. Senate to get Biden’s judicial nominees confirmed. Wish Schumer had understood “the fierce urgency of now” sooner but better late than never.

–

Bernie Sanders had a bill to halt some arms sales to Israel. It didnt pass.

President Biden may not have done everything pro-Palestinian protesters and voters want. But DonOld will let Netanyahu pave over Gaza fo Trump condos. Hope the protest votes against Harris were worth it.

–

Three people were stabbed to death in Manhattan this week. Tragic and awful story. But despite Fox News’ fixation on crime in blue cities, you won’t see a word about it. Because the alleged killer is not an immigrant but an American man who moved to NY from Florida.

–

Well, if Republicans do decide they need to have a checker at all U.S. Capitol bathrooms to grope women’s privates and decide if they are “real” women, at least that’s one job Groper-in-Chief Trump will have a number of potential GOP candidates for.

–

Funny, I never noticed conservative folks up in arms about protecting children in bathrooms when it was Catholic priests and altar boys.

–

Heaven help us.

MAGA woman calling into C-Span 2 defending Matt Gaetz over drugs & girls She says, we all do stupid things, we jaywalk, we speed…does that make you a stupid person for the rest of your life…?

And she adds.. Trump has been through so much. It’s. A. Cult.

–

Walmart says Trump tariffs may raise many of their prices. Trump tariffs will raise many prices on Amazon basics items too, not to mention MANY other items sold on Amazon. And their new ‘Haul” site.

Why do I get the feeling that Jeff Bezos will tell the Washington Post not to cover that story?

–

Senator Raphael Warnock today on Senate floor calling for urgently passing disaster relief funding.

And this funding is most needed now in RED STATES. Democrats care about people’s lives. This should get more attention than the GOP Outrage du jour.

–

Not on Tik-Tok but have heard people are “breaking down’ because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act, and many have pre-existing conditions.

Schadenfreude is bad, right? Oh who am I kidding.

–

So while Elon flies around the country apparently surgically attached to Trump’s side, JD Vance resurfaced to walk around the Capitol with Matt Gaetz to meet GOP Senators.

How long until Donald gets tired of everyone knowing that #ElonIsTheRealPresident?

Big gamed?

November 20, 2024


As Stanford plays Cal this weekend in the Big Game, this will be the second game all season where the Cardinal play a team in California, or even in the Pacific time zone.-

–

As a Spurs fan, good to see San Antonio Spurs beat the Oklahoma Thunder tonight -110 to 104.

On a nonpolitical note, I can’t be the only person who doesn’t give a rat’s behind about the “Emirates NBA Cup?”

–

Senator Coach Tubby, fired from his last two football coaching jobs, whined today that zero Democrats voted against President Biden’s Cabinet nominees. True, maybe because Joe picked competent people?

–


Now it’s Dr. Oz who has no administrative experience, to run Medicare and Medicaid?! Congratulations Trump voters. You have turned US government into a bad sequel of Celebrity Apprentice.

–

Will some Republican like to tell us about how starting out the next Congress focusing on what bathroom Sarah McBride uses is going to help egg prices?

–

Can some kind woman in Congress teach Nancy Mace how to close and lock a bathroom stall door when she pees? Thank you. Sincerely, Americans who would like the House to focus on issues that actually matter.

–

Seriously haters, 2016 UCLA study found estimated 14,550 people in Wash. D.C. identify as transgender, 2.77% of population. In USA, 1.6 million people 13 & older identify as transgender. We’ve all been in bathrooms with transgender people without knowing it. & survived just fine.

–

Remember as GOP defends Hegseth over alleged sexual assault where he paid off his accuser but now says “it was consensual” & defends Matt Gaetz claiming he thought girl he paid for sex was 18… This is same GOP who impeached Bill Clinton over a consensual affair with an adult.

–

Marge Three Names claims she wants to protect women & girls. So she doesn’t want transgender women in women’s bathrooms. But she’s fine with Matt Gaetz, credibly accused of being a pedophile and sexual predator, being our AG. Can someone ask Jasmine Crockett for her comment?

–


JD Vance is going to Capitol Hill Wednesday to lobby Senators on behalf of Trump’s cabinet nominees… So guess Musk told Donald to let his supposed VP out of that bunker?

–


As GOP tries tricks to block Senate confirmation of Biden judges & complains about ballots & vote counting only in races they lost or might lose… Anyone ever played a game with a toddler who throws tantrums & tries to change rules so they win every time? Yeah, it’s like that.

–

But on a serious note…. we do need to keep reminding each other that we do have GOOD politicians in Washington DC (and elsewhere.)

–

Because not voting is as bad for democracy as voting for candidates who are anti-democracy.

For starters.

Amy Klobuchar’s legislation allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.

Tammy Baldwin’s ACA provision allowed kids to stay on their parent’s healthcare until 26.

Rafael Warnock’s affordable insulin bill capped cost at $35 a month.

Stumbling into the week

November 18, 2024

So the Cleveland Browns missed three field goals in the first half against the New Orleans Saints, while the Cincinnati Bengals missed two late 4th quarter potential game winning field goals against the LA Chargers.

If you’re in Ohio, and can kick a football, maybe sit by your phone with a bag packed next week.

–

While I greatly respect and admire Taylor Swift, it’s a good day when the Chiefs lose.

–

May your day be going as well as anyone who had New Orleans Saints swiss-army-knife Tayson Hill on their fantasy team.

(About 140 receiving yards, about 60 rushing yards, one kick return, 3 TDs, a completed pass and a tackle)

–

–

For all GOP love to find any excuse to talk about immigrants harming Americans… They say nothing about the immigrant owning this app and the harm he has done to American democracy.

-=

Since GOP attitude now seems to be….who cares if Vladimir marches into Kiev, exactly what countries in Europe would it bother Republicans when Putin invades and bombs them after Ukraine?

–

Meanwhile great comeback win for Stanford vs Louisville with a walk-off field goal yesterday afternoon in front of an intimate crowd. Sean Spicer would have said it was a sell-out

Many of same GOP who demonize immigrants and LGBTQ people just for existing, are twisting themselves into knots to defend Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.

–

Hey MAGA. It’s very simple. If the GOP-LED House Ethics committee report exonerated Matt Gaetz, it would be read in its entirety on Fox News.

–

–


Oh this is gonna be fun… Especially as RFK Jr, is a media darling for his crazy quotes.

–

And we all know how much 45 likes to be upstaged. Besides criticizing his favorite food.

RFK Jr talking on Joe Polish Show, attacking Trump’s food choices. “‘Stuff that he eats is really, like, bad.” Campaign food is always bad, but the food on his airplane is just poison. You don’t have choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”

–

Meanwhile, Tammy Baldwin won re-election to the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. Meanwhile Eric Hovde still won’t concede and is making up lies like “Baldwin won ‘nearly 90% of absentee ballots.

–

Colin Jost on NBC SNL weekend update about 45’s cabinet picks: “Donald Trump continued to announce everyone he’s going to fire in six months.”

–

If Tulsi Gabbard isn’t a Russian asset why is Russian TV so happy about her DNI nomination?

–

As 45 keeps choosing his personal attorneys to serve in his upcoming administration who else thinks he’s giving them the appointments in lieu of paying them?

–

45’s latest grifting fundraiser. “We are going to sell out soon, but I hope that you will pick your FAVORITE STOCKING. Mine is the RED MAGA STOCKING but ELON loves the DARK MAGA STOCKING!”

How sad again for DonOld’s ego #ElonIsTheRealPresident

–

What a petty little man. Makes me ashamed as California voter to admit Eric’s resident of my state.

–

So what happened to J.D. Vance now that Elon Musk is the last person in the room for Donald’s decisions?

–

The Supreme Court says a President has immunity for official acts while in office.

Okay then, while in office, Joe Biden should release House Ethics committee report on Matt Gaetz, and all Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. For starters.

Send in the clowns

November 15, 2024

Am I the only one who didn’t know, or care about Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson?

–


Mike Johnson, who now wants to bury the results of an Ethics investigation against an alleged pedophile, has given up talking to his Christian God in favor of talking to his Orange God.

–

Trump worshipping Republicans seem to be fine with a man being attorney general they wouldn’t trust to drive their daughters home.

–


Almost as if Wall Street doesn’t like chaos… From NY Times “Stocks Fall as Wall Street’s Election Enthusiasm Subsides.’

–

All you need to know about Kash Patel was Amy Klobuchar being asked about him by Jake Tapper. “I don’t know him but Bill Barr at the time when he was Trump’s AG, when Patel was considered for another position said “Over my dead body would I put this person in.”

–


Mike Pence is opposing RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary because he says he’s too pro abortion?!! Despite what T.S. Eliot said about the last temptation, at this point think I and millions in our country will happily take someone “doing the right thing for the wrong reason.”

–

So which company is doing background checks for Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard and where are they located in Russia?

So if a President has unlimited power and can make recess appointments, why doesn’t President Biden just appoint all the judges he wants as soon as Congress adjourns for the year. For that matter, what is stopping Joe from expanding the Supreme Court before he leaves?

–

Trump popular vote margin was smaller than both Biden’s and Obama’s (and for that matter, Hillary’s.)

And with California still counting, it’s shrinking by the day.

–

Jamie Dimon: “I wish the president well” but “I’ve not had a boss in 25 years, and I’m not ready to start”

So since Jamie said no, of course Trump has to post that Dimon won’t be invited to join his administration. (Donald, even your voters don’t believe you)

–

As many conservative GOP Senators now worry about deciding whether to confirm Trump’s nominees or being primaried by his sycophants bankrolled by Musk, your reminder. Had more of them just voted to impeach Donald after January 6, this wouldn’t be an issue.

–

One of my favorite headlines, from the Tucson Star

“Kari Lake comes closer than in past to conceding campaign loss”


I guess Kari’s lost enough times she’s finally getting better at it?

–

And more good news, because we need it. Ob-gyn Kelly Morrison was elected to the U.S. House from Minnesota, in the district Dean Phillips chose not to run again because he was running for President.

Dr. Morrison is going to be such an improvement over Drop out Dean

–

So Mitch McConnell refused even to bring Obama SCOTUS nominee Merrick Garland to the Senate floor because he said it was the Senate’s duty to “advise and consent.” Where’s the Turtle’s pushback on the idea of recess appointments?

–

Lawrence O’Donnell refers to Elon as being like the little dog Fala who followed FDR around and I am so here for it.

–


All this blame game about who voted for Trump. How about the approximately 1/3 of eligible voters in this country who didn’t vote? They’re about to find out. Both parties are not the same.

The worst is first.

November 13, 2024

Gregg Popovich’s (hopefully) temporary absence from coaching the Spurs is apparently due to a mild stroke.

Las Vegas has the Spurs over-under to win 34.5 games. At this point thinking they’re going to do a lot better for Pop.

And now back to the circus

–

Melania Trump didn’t join her husband in visiting the White House today, where she would have had tea with Jill Biden. Guess the check didn’t clear

–

Also Melania Trump apparently is not going to move into the White House. Wonder if Donald will appoint another First Lady.

–

–

So if Melania isn’t moving to the White House at least can we keep Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations?

He didn’t win

But kudos to the Telegraph a conservative British newspaper. But unlike much of US media, they’re not afraid to write the truth in a headline.

Rick Scott: Businessman behind one of the biggest medical frauds in history tipped to run Senate

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/11/rick-scott-biggest-medical-fraud-senate/

Another thing US media doesn’t talk about enough. Among his peers, Ted Cruz is universally acknowledged to be the most hated man in the Senate. Rick Scott is not that far behind him.

–

How far have we fallen in eight days? New Senate Majority Leader John Thune is hardly moderate, though he has been known occasionally to do bipartisan things and seems to work well with Amy Klobuchar on occasional legislation.

And Thune is sane. These days, that’s a major relief.

So why did Trump pick Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General? Donald couldn’t reach Hannibal Lecter?

–

Or for what department IS Trump going to nominate Hannibal Lecter?

–

Television host Pete Hegseth nominated for Secretary of Defense. I really miss the days when Vote for the Worst was something Americans just did for reality TV shows.

–

Kristi Noem, Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has killed more pets than Haitian immigrants

–

As Trump talks about eliminating Department of Education, newly elected multi-millionaire GOP Senators Bernie Moreno & Tim Sheehy have embraced the idea. Figures. Many of today’s rich Republicans who send kids to private school figure there’s no need for public education


Who else wonders if Matt Gaetz was just nominated to cause outrage and that Donald Trump’s real plan is to sneak some other evil person like Paxton or Ratcliffe in after Gaetz is rejected on a bipartisan basis.

Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “American people re-elected Trump by resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement promises he made on the campaign trail.” “Resounding margin?” 50.2 to 48.1 % as of now w/ CA votes outstanding.

That’s not enough of a margin to pass amendments in Florida.

Digging out

November 8, 2024

Haven’t paid as much attention to sports this week but Cincinnati Bengals had a dramatic last minute drive against the Baltimore Ravens, to pull within in one point – 34 to 35. They went for two point conversions and the win,, pass was incomplete but officials missed both a defensive holding and a roughing the passer call.

Saints fans are thinking, welcome to the club. If only NFL could afford full time officiating.

–

Seeing some MAGAs today saying who cares if Trump goes after immigrant workers in California & other blue states? Uh. Top 10 agriculture-producing States in 2023 are (descending order): California, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, North Carolina & Missouri.

–

Random observation.

Had a small pet insurance check supposedly mailed first class from Ohio to CA on Oct 28. Haven’t received it as of Nov 7. Not worried on the money as I am sure they can reissue if lost. But what if it were a ballot?

So a family picture taken by Donald’s granddaughter doesn’t have Melania, nor Kimberly Guilfoyle, But it has Musk in the front row. Elon is now the son Trump wishes he had? And uh, can anyone think of a narcissist who has joined Trump’s orbit for any period of time who has stayed on his good side? Sycophants stick around longer… but how long until rumors that Musk is the real President upset Donald?

–

New Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles, a witness, got 20% raise that May, from $25,000 to $30,000 per month. Then Donald’s campaign hired her daughter Caroline, who’d worked for Trump’s 1st campaign & in White House, where she reportedly left because she didn’t pass background check. Her salary: $222,000, making her currently 4th highest-paid staffer.”

https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-criminal-cases-witnesses-financial-benefits

–

Can we turn media coverage of Trump vs Harris/Walz into a math problem?

Imagine a circle, half red for right wing media, half theoretically blue for MSM. But MSM bothsided everything.. So you get half a circle red, and half a circle half red and half blue. Do the math.

Even if off a bit on the margains it’s 75-25%.

–

This could change but for US Senate, AP says Dave McCormick wins over Bob Casey in PA.

About 30,000 votes

Current totals: McCormick 48.95% 3,340.649

Casey 48.49% 3,308.961

Thomas (libertarian) 1.29% 87,706

Hazou (green) 0.94% 64.088

Hopethose Libertarians who want small government, and pro-environment Green party voters like GOP heavy-handed, anti-personal liberty, anti-environment legislation. Peaceful protests are great, but not at the ballot box.

–

About 65% of eligible Americans voted on Tuesday. Jimmy Carter, 100 years old, was one of those voters. For those in that non-voting 35%, What was YOUR excuse?

Day of reckoning

November 5, 2024

Not my line but

“The Carolinia Panthers being the ones to get Dennis Allen fired might be their most impressive feat this season.”

–

Can we get bipartisan agreement on the fact that NFL regular season overtime rules suck?

–

Your reminder.

The Apprentice got canceled in 2007.

Donald Trump was voted out of the White House in 2020

November 5, 2024, America is going for the trifecta.

–

Thought the stupidest thing that JD Vance did in this campaign was to insult cat ladies. Then he called Kamala Harris “trash.’

–

Mike Pence made Dan Quayle look good by comparison. J.D Vance makes Mike Pence AND Sarah Palin look good by comparison.

–

But on a positive VP note.

Tim Walz “Let me speak to the guys in the crowd tonight. Think about the women if your life that you love. Their lives are at stake in this election. Trump is proud of overturning Roe v. Wade, glad that those women you love have fewer rights than their mothers or grandmothers.” “Kamala and I trust women, it’s that simple. We’re going to send a message to Donald Trump. Whether he likes it or not.”

–

Now Trump is musing about putting Mike Tyson in the ring with Kamala Harris, and whether he should ‘hit back’ at Michelle Obama. Is the dementia getting worse, or is Donald just being more public with his violent misogyny?

–

North Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democrat for President since they voted for Barack Obama in 2008. They voted for Romney in 2012! And Donald Trump is spending some of the last day of his campaign in North Carolina. Someone seems big scared.

–

“Optimism is a choice. Pessimism is a choice too.” Lawrence O’Donnell quoting anonymous Oscar winning friend. And he added “If you suffer a loss you will be in just as much pain as if you saw it coming. There is no reason not to go to sleep without hope.” Sums up being a cynical optimist perfectly.

–

–

In a world where media wants to both-sides everything, it bears repeating, only one side is refusing to say they’ll accept the results of the election if they lose.

–

When this election is over perhaps we need to have a conversation on whether men are too irrational and emotional to vote.

Devil’s bargain

November 4, 2024

As a hard core sports fan who cares about politics I have said many times I’d rather have my team lose than lose an election. But okay new Orleans Saints, his is ridiculous. #WhoDat

–

ESPN headline “Raiders, at league-worst 2-7 fire OC, two others.

Your move, Saints. #FireDennisAllen

–

Herschel Walker, campaigning todayIt stops on Tuesday when we vote for my friend and your friend Donald Trump Jr… Donald Trump. Jonald J. Trump

–

I know officially you can’t diagnose CTE while someone is still alive but….

–
Amy Klobuchar summed it up for those of us Democrats who’ve thought all along we’d win… but “As someone said, I’m nauseously optimistic.”

–

As Iowa appears to be heating up, could Harris Walz team get Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar to return to the state together for last-minute joint rally? Yes, they’re friends now. But imagine the ratings -if only from those remembering a few debates & expecting a cage match.

–

Looking at the gender gap in ALL polls, does anyone doubt that if Trump were to be elected on Tuesday, he’d make it a priority to overturn the 19th Amendment?

It’s already begun. Last night on SNL Kamala Harris looked happy and relaxed. Trump can’t remember what state he’s in… and he’s saying he should have never left. He’s not even going to be invited back to the White House for an ex-Presidents event.

So MAGA are clutching their pearls over Kamala Harris on SNL for a few minutes, when Fox News is basically a Trump informercial every night?

–

All you need to know about how great Kamala Harris’s SNL appearance tonight was is to go to right wing websites- including Fox News – and see how big mad they are about it.

–

Has Trump claimed yet that SNL begged him to appear on their show last night?

–

And with all the attention on Kamala many missed this candidate for SNL line of the night


When Donald Trump’ was having microphone issues… “Last time I hated a Mic this much I tried to have him killed.”

–

“The last temptation is the greatest treason, to do the right thing for the wrong reason.” T. S. Eliot Whatever the reason, whether it’s conscience or $$,

@nytimes finally not both sidesing our choice on November 5. “Time to vote. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy — a case that New York Times editorial board has made repeatedly. Here’s why, in 110 words.

–

Trump’s fundraising emails lately include a lot of “Two for the price of one” MAGA hats. Translation, he can’t give them away.

–

Californian running for US Senate from Wisconsin Eric Hoyde doesn’t think kids should be able to stay on parents’ insurance til they’re 26

. Instead they should get jobs from rich parents? In 1987, just after graduating from college, Hovde & his dad, Donald, (who Reagan put on Fed Home Loan Bank Board) launched Hovde Financial..

–

–

In 2016 Trump won PA by 46,435 votes He won WI by 22,177 votes He won MI by 10,704 votes About 79,000 votes total. Fewer than fit in some football stadiums. Don’t let ANYONE tell you your vote doesn’t matter.

–

On November 5, we can elect a President who not only knows that Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character… but who knows that the real hero of that movie is Clarisse!

–


Whatever happens Tuesday we will tell our children and grandchildren that we voted in the election with the biggest gender gap in history.

All Crazy Conference.

November 2, 2024

As Stanford plays Saturday Nov 2 against NC State, the Cardinal will now have played two more games against each of teams from North Carolina and Texas than they will have against teams from Calfiornia.

–


NY Yankees especially in game 5 of the World Series bring to mind a very old joke. What do the NY Yankees and Michael Jackson have in common? They both wore gloves on one hand for no discernible reason.

–

One brighter note on Dodger victory for anyone outside Los Angeles. The last time they won a World Series, Trump lost a Presidential election. If that’s the devil’s bargain in 2024, I’ll take it.

Why isn’t this a bigger story? Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin wrote the ACA provision to allow young people to stay on their parents health insurance until they are 26.

Her opponent Eric Hovde wants to take that away. “It’s a stupid idea for this reason. All we’re doing is delaying younger people’s maturation. “And they need to grow up and move on and stand on their own two feet.

Of course Hovde is a multi-millionaire. If one of his kids’ had graduated from college and wanted to do an internship or study as a grad student without benefit, he’d either help them with insurance or medical bills.

(Dave McCormick, a hedge fund mega-millionaire has made similar statements. Pretty damn sure his kids have nothing to worry about either. 

–

–

JD Vance says he’s been “red-pilled” on vaccines. Oh, please, does anyone think HIS kids aren’t vaccinated?

–

Is it possible that Trump’s speeches are becoming increasingly lengthy because he thinks there’s a good chance after November 5 no one will want to pay any attention to anything he says again?

The biggest rating he’s going to get for an appearance after November 5 might be for the one that will start “Will the defendant please rise.”

–

Oops: MAGA Mike Johnson, campaigning for NY GOP Rep Brandon Williams was asked if he’d repeal Biden’s CHIPS Act.

Which per NY TImes brought “$100 billion worth of investment in semiconductor industry to Syracuse area. “I expect we probably will,

– Williams soon jumped in to say that he opposed repealing the CHIPS Act and would lobby the speaker.” They are so bad at governing.

–

How can Presidential candidate say of Liz Cheney “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when guns are trained on her face.”

Most would be arrested. Media still hung up on Biden’s garbage phrasing.

NY Times “Trump Attacks Liz Cheney Using Violent War Imagery.” Understand space is at a premium, but it doesn’t take more space to write the truth: “Trump Calls for Liz Cheney to be Executed by Firing Squad.”

–

Give Trump credit for one accomplishment. Gotten me to believe that for all I disagree with her on so many things, Liz Cheney is an admirable and brave patriot.

As we approach final weekend before election, remember, confirmation bias makes it very difficult to change a vote.

Much easier, convincing someone not planning to vote that their vote matters. If our votes didn’t matter, GOP wouldn’t be trying so hard to take them away.

Taking sides

October 28, 2024

Gregg Popovich -calling out Republcans who support Trump now “They’ve called him xenophob, a religious bigot, a racist,, unfit for office, on and on and on. Their words ― but they’re right there with him,”

“Do they not know that they have children and grandchildren, probably, that are gonna lose freedom if this guy is elected? I’m not talking about a policy, I’m talking about the idea of our country.”

Some ask why I am a San Antonio Spurs fan. I ask. “How can you not be?”

–

Washington Comannders QB Jayden WIlliams threw a great “Hail Mary to win the game aganst the Bears today as time expired. A clean catch too.. (Google it if you haven’t seen it.

Chicago CB Tyrique Stevenson could be seen taunting fans seconds before— and he was late covering the play.

Mean b*tch karma hates bad sports.

–

Haven’t been an SF 49ers fan since Eddie DeBartolo’s rape accusation and settlement . But I remember the uproad before 2019 NFL. draft when Bosa’s racist and homophobic social media posts emerged… He “apologized” as he knew SF wanted to draft him.

Now today after the 49ers beat the truly bad Dallas Cowboys, Bosa nterrupted and photobombed Brock Purdy’s post game interview with his MAGA hate show support for Trump.

On the same day Trump headlined one of the most racist rallies of the year in Madison Square Garden.

Will never root for the Cowboys. But Bosa doesn’t have a ring. And hope he never gets one.

–

Puerto Rico is a beautiful island full of good American people Madison Square Garden today was an island of garbage.

—

Credit where credit is due:

NY Times got a headlne right “Racist Remarks and Insults Mark Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally.”

–

Eric Adams defending Donald Trump tells you all you need to know about Eric Adams.

–

Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska says she will not vote for Harris nor Trump.
“I want to vote for somebody and not against someone…I am going to be voting for someone and hopefully I will feel good about that, even knowing that that individual probably is not going to be in the winner’s column.”

So disappointing. Lisa has been one of the few Republicans I admire. So disappointed. Alaska elected her to make tough choices, and this one is not hard.

It’s not a dating app. It’s not even “do you wish there were other choices?” There is one choice. Democracy or dictatorship.

–

100%. Voting in 2024 makes me think of Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve gotten until it’s gone …”

Decisions decisions

October 27, 2024

Expanded College Football Playoffs, were almost certainly designed to get more SEC teams into college football’s postseason. Or at least SEC and Big Ten plus top former Pac 12 schools.

Now you have undefeated BYU, Pittsburgh and Indiana.

.Oops. Karma and unintended consequences are good friends.

–

So if you’re not a fan of either team in World Series what a dilemma?

Do you root for a sweep to make the revenue less for MLB which refuses to level the playing field?

Or do you decide as an SF Giants fan that Yankees in six is still the better outcome.

It’s not that the Washington Post endorsement was going to change many minds. It’s that candidate Trump told Bezos not to publish it and Jeff said “yes, sir.”

Imagine what Bezos will do if Trump becomes President again.

–

SF Chronicle nailed it. “Timing of both papers’ decisions clearly indicates that it wasn’t the idea of endorsing a candidate that the publishers rejected, it was the plans to back Harris that prompted both papers’ sudden and surprising stances. If they’re worried about retaliation over a Harris endorsement from a future President Donald Trump, then saying so would be a reader service in itself. Or, if the reason behind the non-endorsements is that these owners actually do support Trump and want to deny Harris any advantage an endorsement might provide, they should have the courage to say so clearly.”

–

They’re going to get rid of cows?” On top of everything else Dementia Donald’s rallies are turning into a bad sequel to Twister.

–

Also has anyone noticed – even when the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post don’t endorse her, Kamala doesn’t threaten to put them out of business?

–

Imagine if you were hiring for a job & you checked references with the candidate’s former coworkers; many of them told you he was awful and begged you “Please hire someone else.” And yet some Americans are still thinking they’d hire that guy for the most important job in USA

–

Donald Trump fundraising email is ranting about “Kamala’s D-List Celebrity Rally.” Aww… someone is jealous. Bless his heart.

Fried-day

October 25, 2024

Was there a baseball game tonight?


And USC, who led the exodus from the Pac 12 for $$$ and hopes of better bowls, at least found a Big 10 team in Rutgers they could beat/

Nothing sums up what has happened to today’s Republican party more than this: We’ve gone from the GOP leader calling America “the shining city on the hill” to one calling us the “garbage can of the world.”

–

If you’re not voting for Trump but for whatever reason thinking of not voting for Harris either then you are voting for Trump. Period.

Tried to cancel Washington Post subscription this morning and the site said “We are down for maintenance.” So did they take their website down in hopes people calm down? Or are millions of cancellations crashing the site?

(It did work later)

–

Let’s be very clear

The Washington Post Editorial Board had an endorsement of Kamala Harris ready to go

They didn’t cancel it.

The reporters didn’t cancel it.

BIllionaire owner Jeff Bezos cancelled it.

–

On a cheerier note

Kats for Kamala

–

Meanwhile, NY Times reports Chinese hackers targeted data from phones used by Donald Trump & J.D. Vance.

And we all know how careless Donald & JD are with their outside voices (& what Trump does with documents imagine how careless they are with info that might be sensitive.

–

At 11pm & down to 48 degrees in Traverse City, Michigan. Donald Trump was about 4 hours late to his outdoor rally

. If this is how Donald treats the supporters who love him most, how do you think he’ll treat the rest of us. (who aren’t billionaires?)

–

Dear Mark Cuban Would love to see you buy Twitter. If not can you start by buying the Washington Post?

–

Thinking this might need to be updated after today. “As of 2023 the Washington Post has the third-largest print circulation in the United States, with 135,980 print subscribers. It has 2.5 million digital subscribers.”

–

One thing I don’t get. Pretty sure not that many Trump supporters, other than the wealthy and those in DC area, ever subscribed to the Washington Post. So why from a business standpoint alienate your readers? Are they hoping to be Pravda?

–

RIP. Grateful Dead co-founder Phil Lesh has died at age 84. Not a deadhead, but can appreciate that maybe he and Jerry Garcia can have a hell of a heavenly guitar jam session tonight.

Jeff Bezos would tell Woodward and Bernstein to drop the Watergate investigation.

–

A South African billionaire is trying to buy U.S. election for Trump.

A South African billionaire got his choice as Donald’s running mate.

A South African billionaire running Los Angeles Times told them not to endorse.

Tell them our country is not for sale. Vote Harris Walz

Real steals

October 25, 2024

New Orleans Saints fans would like to welcome the Minnesota Vikings to the “scr*wed by the refs in favor of the Los Angeles Rams club.”

Am a San Antonio Spurs fan but it still feels really weird to see Klay Thompson play for the Dallas Mavericks.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand why Donald Trump is campaigning in various locations. Other times it’s easy. He ended up tonight in Las Vegas. So he could bill US Taxpayers inflated prices for Secret Service agents who had to stay at his Trump hotel in town.

Some of Trump’s most fervent supporters are now going after Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. Both Bruce and Taylor will continue to have the ability to sell out concerts many times over. Maybe more so as some will pay more for a MAGA free zone.

–

Hillary Clinton: “How we can be back here even entertaining the idea that someone who frankly makes Nixon looks like a lesser threat ?”

A phrase I never thought I’d say. Nixon WAS a lesser threat.

At a Vance Town Hall in Detroit, Trump actually called in to ask JD Vance: ‘How Brilliant Is Donald Trump?’

Would the wrong answer have gotten JD on the “to be hanged list?”

–

As we learn more about the Trump supporter arrested for shooting a local Democratic office in Phoenix Arizona, three times – and allegedly planning a “mass casualty event” wondered how Fox News was spinning the story.

Surprise, ,they aren’t covering it. At all.

–

Eric Hovde, a Laguna CA businessman running for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, appeared on Fox News with the back ground of the Minneapolis Minnesota skyline.


Maybe someone should send Hovde a Minnesota Vikings jersey and send him out to campaig in Wisconsin.. That would be must see TV.

–

Didn’t know that much about Independent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn But how do you not love someone quoting Robin Williams tonight on The Last Word “Politicians should be wearing NASCAR jackets with patches of their sponsors so we know how they’re going to vote

–

Trump says if he is reelected he would fire special prosecutor Jack Smith “in two seconds.” So here’s Donald’s message to sum up: Vote for me so I can stay out of prison.

–

J.D. Vance says everything John Kelly says about Trump “is not true.”

Uh, J.D. Vance now says many things he himself said about Trump are not true.

–

As President Biden plans Friday to apologize for Indian boarding schools where hundreds of children died…. reminder of yet another reason to vote Harris Walz. Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan would, if Walz becomes VP, be the first Native American Governor of a US State.

Broken

October 23, 2024

Am a New Orleans Saints fan but also a San Antonio Spurs fan so don’t pay that much attention to the NBA Pelicans.

But long time Spurs star Dejounte Murray (who spent two years with the Atlanta Hawks) just had his season opening with the Pelicans. And fractured his hand. Murray will be out for a while.

Saints after a 2-0 start now have what feels like about half their starters injured.

Maybe New Orleans teams need to hire a voodoo queen?

–

MLB wants to find Tampa Bay Rays a temporary home near Tampa at least the start of the 2025 season if roof damage to Tropicana Field from Hurricane Milton cannot be repaired in time.

Well, MLB already okayed the A’s playing in a minor league stadium, what’s one more tea

(Sadly, for we old fans of Les Expos, Montreal MIGHT have been an option. But the stadium is being renovated.)

–

From Marc Ragovin :”In a newly unsealed recording, Stormy Daniels can be heard telling Donald Trump: “I knew Arnold Palmer. I played golf with Arnold Palmer. And you sir, are no Arnold Palmer.”


Former supposed moderate Republican Governor Chris Sinunu is smart enough not to be believe lie he is telling.which is that we we know how Trump would govern in his second term because we saw his first term

1. In his first term Trump had guardrails, people like John Kelly.

2. In his first term Trump was 70, now he’s a rapidly aging 78.

–

Important reminder. Tonight’s CNN Town Hall with Kamala Harris was intended to be a second debate. But Donald Trump was too afraid or exhausted to show up.

–

Four-star general leading U.S. Southern Command, responsible for American military operations in Central America, South America & Caribbean. Homeland Security Secretary CHOSEN by Trump who then hired him as Chief of State. That’s John Kelly. I’ll take his word over Donald’s.

–

Your reminder, as Trump now calls FOUR STAR GENERAL John Kelly a “low-life,” that Donald as President not only hired him as his Department of Homeland Security Secretary, he then hired him as Chief of Staff.

–

A dishonest ad campaign featuring three supposedly Jewish women voting for Trump deliberately mispronounces Kamala Harris’s name. It’s comma-la. They know this. No lie too small.

–

Just what would it take for some of these so-called reasonable Republicans – Haley, Sinunu, Youngkin, etc – to switch their votes from Trump?

Not even close

October 21, 2024

So after the Dodger -Yankees World Series, will the losing team go to a $500 million payroll this offseason to try win in 2025?

(Cleveland Guardians 2024 payroll $106,000,000. New York Yankees 2024 salaries for Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton, $103,000,000 And the Yankees have a lower overall payroll than the Mets and Dodgers, who are both over $300,000,000. MLB billionaire boys of summer club.)

–

On top of all the other reasons to dislike USC football, the Trojans were the primary movers to destroy the Pac 12 by leaving for the Big 10. 3-4 start couldn’t happen to a nicer team.

–

Tennessee, now 6-1, just upset Alabama, now 5-2 So how long until SEC starts talking about 2 or even 3 loss teams making the CFB playoffs?

–

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson signed a five year deal with the Cleveland Browns in 2022, despite an 11-game suspension, after more than two dozen women accused him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage sessions.

And today he may have suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

If you can’t say anything nice….

No comment.

–

Antonio Brown appeared at Trump’s PA rally Saturday. Brown has been arrested multiple times on charges including sexual assault & domestic violence, says he has CTE and has declared bankruptcy. Yep, a perfect Donald surrogate.

–

None of the six NLCS games between the Mets and the Dodgers was closer than 4 runs. Three of the Dodgers four wins were by 8 or more., and tonight’s Los Angeles series clincher was 10-5

Not sure about ratings yet, but the WNBA final, which went to OT, was a much better game.

–

RIP. Phillp Zimbardo, 91. A fascinating man I was lucky enough to take a class from back in the day.

His prison experiment probably did as much as anything in the United States in my lifetime to show us how good people can be indoctrinated to do bad things.

–

Trump showed up to watch Aaron Rodgers play tonight, a few months after Rodgers posted a picture of them together. And the Jets QB, despite being reunited with his former favorite receiver Davante Adams, had one of his worst games of 2024. Almost as if #ETTD

–

Actual Trump fundraising email. “I just left McDonald’s. That was fun! I am first & only 2024 presidential nominee to work at McDonald’s.” Yet another lie.

Leaving aside that the restaurant was closed for him and all the “customers” were fake, Donald is obsessed with Kamala Harris having worked at McDonalds.

Sometimes dementia patients fixate on the weirdest things.

–

Dn’t think Fox News viewers live in an alternate reality? This is top Fox headline tonight ” “Trump echoes Reagan in swing state as workers take rally stage to praise ‘greatest president’” Not a word about Donald discussing Arnold Palmer’s junk, for starters.

–

Mitch McConnell to Politico “Whatever I may have said about President Trump pales in comparison to what JD Vance, Lindsey Graham,& others have said about him, but we are all on the same team now.” Siri, what is a self-own?

–

Last night Fox News actually cut away from Trump’s rally and switched to Kamala Harris’s rally. Maybe it’s even occuring to Fox News that Kamala brings them better ratings than Trump, whose rants are increasingly boring


Another Fox News alternate reality headline. “Trump has survived multiple assassination attempts & continues to attend football games.” Fixed it “Trump ducks MSM interviews but demands $$$ Secret Service projection for photo ops at games where he comes late & leaves early.”

Can we get it right?

October 19, 2024

Another game, another ball four called strike three in the bottom of the ninth in the Yankees-Indians game.

If only baseball had technology and replay rules. Oh, wait, never mind.

Time to allow challenges for balls and strikes. Past time.

–

Meanwhile in the NLCS, if you had a friend who’d never seen baseball before and you told him or her that it was usually a close, relatively low-scoring game,… they might not believe you. After the Mets 12-6 win in game 4, the closest game is still their 7-3 win in game 2.

–

Meanwhile from SI.COM

Through four back-and-forth games, it seems like neither the Lynx nor the Liberty are going to lose this series. The only losers may be the officials.

You know the WNBA has become big time in the USA when the headlines complain about officiating .

–

Lindsey Graham actually said “I think Donald Trump would be the best commander in chief of anybody available on the planet based on his performance before”

On what planet? Mustafar?

–

Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, when her opponent in their debate made not-so-subtle homphobic attack on her “partner,”

“Eric Hovde should stay out of my personal life. And I think I speak for most Wisconsin women that he should stay out of all of our personal lives.”

Nailed it.

–

Trump says “people from Fox” helped him write his Al Smith dinner jokes. At the same time Donald wants to take away the broadcast licenses of any network he perceives as helping Kamala Harris.

–

If Trump is too exhausted to do interviews how in the world do even Republican voters think he’ll be able to handle that “3am phone call?”

–

Donald Trump keeps insisting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not smart. At the same time he says they have completely taken over the U.S. Justice system, the media, etc. Logic has a liberal bias.

–

Just saying… If Donald Trump knew he could “ace” a cognitive test he’d take the test publicly and demand national media cover it live.

–


Stephen Colbert on Kamala refusing to let Baier bait her into insulting Trump voters “I would never call Americans stupid.” “No, they’re not stupid Brett, they’ve been watching your network who feeds them lies. It’s like Taco Bell asking “why do all these people have diarrhea.”

October 16, 2024

Well, if you’re not watching the Dodgers -Mets NLCS because you don’t really like either team (or don’t like the idea of $300 million plus payrolls,) you haven’t exactly missed close exiting baseball games.

(Dodgers win 9-0 and 8-0, Mets win 7-3)

–

Meanwhile, I’m a Las Vegas Aces fan, but if you gave up watching the WNBA when Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever were eliminated, you’re really missing out!

(Sabrina Ionescu won the game for NY Liberty against the Minnesota Lynx with a shot that would have made Clark, or Steph Curry, proud.)

–

In Trump world, a woman or girl’s death only warrants “Say Her Name” if she is murdered by an undocumented immigrant.

But if a woman like Amber Thurman dies because Trump SCOTUS nominees overturned abortion rights, then it’s a joking matter.

–

There is no bottom.

–

Since Stormy Daniels is back in the news with an another alleged Trump attempt to pay her hush money, what could Donald possibly care now about her not sharing?

Pictures?

One of the stupidest arguments defending almost any Trump threat.

“He didn’t do ‘fill-in-the-blank” his 1st term, why would anyone think he’d do it in a 2nd”

Because in his 1st term Trump had sane people to stop him. And Donald didn’t have a slavish SCOTUS to make him a king.

–

Nancy Mace on CNN. “To my knowledge no one in Ohio has been threatened because of something Trump has said… I haven’t seen that.” Even Stevie Wonder could see that Haitian legal immigrants have been threatened in Ohio because of Trump.

–


Kamala Harris ‘s best line with Fox News. “This is a democracy. And the President of the United States should be able to handle criticism without saying he’d lock people up for doing it.”

After Kamala Harris’s strong interview with Bret Baier, how long until NY Times attacks Kamala Harris for daring to answer Fox News questions with complete sentences and no music?

–

From the NY Times… “Three billionaires — Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson and Dick Uihlein — put a combined $220 million into groups supporting former President Donald J. Trump in July, August and September,” Yeah, Don’s a real man of the people.

–

An old but perhaps apocryphal story of Henry VIII. When his third wife Jane Seymour was in labor with their son Edward, doctors told him they might be only able to save her or the baby. His response “The child, the child, other wives can easily be found.

Sound familiar?

–

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is a rock star.

“Everyone has an issue. If I have you for 5 seconds, I’d say, whatever your most important issue is, google Project 2025 and see what it says about it. If you like what Project 2025 says, vote for the Orange one. If not, vote for Harris-Walz.”

–

Dear American women.

If you don’t think you have time to vote this November, then you certainly don’t have time to plan an escape trip out of your state for critical reproductive care.
