Dangerous games?

November 10, 2025

Headline: “Trump Booed At Yet Another Sporting Event While Attending Commanders Game” No punchline, i just like sharing it.

Donald Trump may have done the impossible. Become more unpopular with Washington football fans than Dan Snyder.

The good news for the Commanders. Booing Trump gave fans something to do besides booing the team, who at 3-7 are now in the running for a top three, certainly top five draft pick.

On top of everything else, increasing number of NFL games on cable & streaming channels mean cash-strapped American worried about SNAP/health insurance/higher prices can’t even watch their favorite teams for free.

While Donald flew on Air Force One to attend an NFL game in a luxury suite.

Not the Onion Per ESPN “Sources: Trump wants Commanders’ new D.C. stadium named for him.” Okay, can we start with his name on and picture at the bottom of every urinal?

On SNL Weekend Update Colin Jost talks about Donald Trump wishing the royal family well. And wonders if he will send Prince Andrew this birthday card

Trump tonight pardoned almost everyone, including Rudy Giuliani, who was convicted of trying to overthrow 2020 election.

1. Does this seem like a man who ever wants to leave White House?

2. Does this seem like a man who will honor the few concessions GOP made to reopen goverment?

As Trump lies & says US will soon begin paying down National Debt, U.S. government’s gross national debt hit $38 trillion in October: “The fastest accumulation of trillion dollars in debt outside of COVID-19 pandemic. US hit $37 trillion in gross national debt in August..

Anyone who agrees to a 50 year mortgage has never read the story of Sisyphus.

Kynect, Pennie, Covered California, MNsure, Georgia Access, Nevada Health Link, Healthcare .gov All of these ARE the ACA/Obamacare Wonder how many Americans using Obamacare have no idea they are on it.

So what will the eight Senators who voted to reopen the government say when Trump ignores some or all of the the compromise deal struck and their GOP colleagues do nothing?

While our national debt soars, today Trump again is waving around the idea about $2000 checks to Americans from tariffs.

It all makes sense if you remember what Amy Klobuchar referred to as “a bombshell a day.” And it’s ALL distraction #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today attacked ABC’s George Stephanopoulos for calling Republicans “terrorists” during 1995 government shutdown. Has Bessent listened to what his boss Donald calls Democrats?

Youth and treachery

November 8, 2025

As the San Antonio Spurs play an imperfect game and still knock off Kevin Durant and the Rockets, Victor Wembanyama, double-teamed all night and not “on” his game,, still dunked on Durant and ended up with 22 points, 4 assists, 8 rebounds…

Your reminder, Wemby is 21 years old.

Mississippi State president Mark Keenum, chair of the College Football Playoff, board of managers told EPSN today SEC would prefer to “not have automatic bids” in future iterations of the playoff

Translation, the SEC doesn’t want pesky small conference winners getting in the way of them having half or more of the playoff field..

Meanwhile, since Fox News and right wing media love everything that their leaders, why aren’t they posting their sleeping beauty picture. (yes, this was during a press conference.)

Why do things that get you horrible press and cause your party to lose elections? When releasing the Epstein files would be far worse than anyone can imagine.

Who else honestly thought this was satire? “Melania Trump will receive the ‘Patriot of the Year’ award from Fox at their annual primetime Patriot Awards show tonight.”

So (New York based) media wants to keep talking about what Mamdani’s win as a democratic socialist in New York City means for the Democratic Party.

But not a word about Minneapolis, where Democratic mayor Jacob Frey DEFEATED democratic socialist Omar Fateh.

As much as we might “relish” the story of the Subway sandwich thrower being found innocent…

How many taxpayer dollars did we waste on this small stop on Trump’s retribution tour?

Amazing how many people justifying Trump’s efforts to take SNAP benefits away from women and children and seniors call themselves Christian in their social media bios.

If GOP members of Congress lost THEIR health insurance until the shutdown was over they’d vote to extend ACA subsidies and open the government tonight.

As Trump asks SCOTUS for an immediate ruling to let him starve poor people by cutting off SNAP, he’s dining tonight at Mar-A-Lago. Where memberships start at $1 million. Before dues and meals

While some grownups in Senate try to come to a deal to open government,

NY Times points out Speaker Mike Johnson “has refused to commit to even allowing a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies.” What does Velveeta Voldemort have on Mike?

Lindsey Graham today on the Senate Floor defending Donald Trump’s absolute right to declare war without Congressional approval. John McCain was one of Graham’s best friends. I hope John is haunting Lindsey’s dreams.

Stephen Colbert on the morning after the 2025 elections: “Democrats are walking around with a spring in their step like a divorced mom in her 40s whose new haircut just got her carded in 2 different bars.”

Booby prizes?

November 6, 2025

At least some chatter that the Los Angeles Dodgers might turn down a White House visit due to Trump’s ICE/National Guard attempted takeover of Los Angeles.

If that happens this SF Giants fan will actually applaud the Dodgers.

(All but MAGA Blake Treinen who would probably go for lunch with Donald himself.)

Meanwhile, 66 (!) fouls called in a THREE hour Los Angeles Lakers- San Antonio Spurs game.

As much as I complain about baseball umpires the referees in tonight’s games made realize officiating could be much much worse.

Nobody pays their way in or turns on the TV to watch a foul shot competition.


Trump’s buddy Gianni Infantino says he will award first Fifa Peace Prize at World Cup draw in DC- to go to “individuals who help unite people in peace through unwavering commitment and special actions.” The draw which will be at the Kennedy Center in on Dec 5.

Wonder who he’ll give it to?

This award will have all the cachet of that “Michigan Man of the Year” Donald’s always talking about…

So after Trump sent election monitors to heavily Latino areas in California, in hopes of intimidating voters to stay home, Prop 50 still won in landslide w/ nearly 2/3 of the vote.

Apparently voters believe pretty strongly in democracy. Maybe GOP should take a hint

WTF? Mike Johnson talks about “the tragedy” in California.

Claiming Texas was following the law & California wasn’t.

Uh, CA actually asked voters instead of forcing more gerrymandering through.

If he’s not lying, maybe Mike needs to also take one of those cognitive tests?

Trump fundraising emails in last two days: (Nov 5 was the anniversary of the election.)

“Should I wear this on our anniversary? “Our anniversary is tomorrow & you haven’t unlocked your MAGA membership” “

Our anniversary is today & you haven’t unlocked your MAGA membership.” T

Think he remembers his anniversary with Melania?

Congrats to all the Democratic winners last night.

But for those who want to say NYC was proof Americans want democratic socialism.

In Minneapolis, Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey defeated democratic socialist Omar Fateh.

It’s about knowing, and connecting with, your constitutents.

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.

Not your normal numbers game.

October 30, 2025

Fox News announcers talking pre-game about Dodgers Blake Snell adjusting after game 1 and needing to “establish the fastball” in World Series game 5.

Apparently the Blue Jays had other ideas.

This World Series is a LONG way from over.


But all this talk earlier this week from sports pundits. about Yamamoto possibly being the next postseason Bumgarner. What if the next Bumgarner turns out to be Yesavage?

(A couple cool facts from tonight – Trey Yesavage’s 2025 salary is $57,204, which is his prorated salary for the part of the season he played in the major leagues. He did get a $4 million signing bonus. And in his first game this season he pitched before a crowd of 327 in single A for the Dunedin Blue Jays against the Jupiter Hammerheads. Tonight’s crowd was over 52,000)

To put that $57.204 in perspective, Game 5, LA Dodgers’ starting pitcher Blake Snell makes $36 million. Works out to about $60,000 for a five pitch at bat.

Meanwhile, the anti-DEI crowd has no problem with Kai Trump’s sponsor’s exemption to get a place in an LPGA tour event.

Kai, Donald’s 18 year old granddaughter, is ranked 461th in the American JUNIOR Golf Girls Association and finished last this March in a tournament- shooting 52 over par.

Your reminder, GOP got around the 60 vote threshold in the Senate to confirm Herschel Walker as Ambassador to the Bahamas. They could do it to re-open the Government King Donald doesn’t want House to return as they’d have to release the Epstein Files.


We are living through the worst Dr. Strangelove sequel ever. Today it’s “President Strangelove: How I learned to distract from The Epstein Files by threatening the bomb.”

For those thinking Dems should just trust GOP’s promises to negotiate.

There was 3 day shutdown in Jan 2018, Trump said he’d not negotiate DACA during shutdown. Then GOP pledged to work towards a deal. Dems relented. Nothing happened. By April Trump tweeted “NO MORE DACA DEAL.”

Wonder why Republicans, who control White House, House and Senate, aren’t talking nonstop about all the shutdowns when Democrats had control of all three branches of government.

Oh, that’s right, when Democrats had all three, USA didn’t HAVE shutdowns. It is a #TRUMPShutdown

LIndsay Graham on Donald and Pete Hegseth regularly killing people in boats just because they are “allegedly” smuggling drugs. “I love this debate. I think most Americans are gonna be with Trump.”

Graham, who knew something about war crimes, used to be John McCain’s best friend. I hope McCain haunts his dreams.

Mike Johnson: “Religious freedom does not extend and give you the right to get in the face of an I.C.E. Officer and assault them.”

Where is the followup question “So why does religious freedom give you the right to get in the face of women walking into abortion clinics?”


Senator Amy Klobuchar was talking about Senate’s bipartisan bill to assert their rights on tariffs nails it “His new tariff against Canada isn’t about security, or the economy,

It’s just about the President’s personal grievances and Americans are the ones paying the price.”

Actually later Wednesday the Senate just voted to end Trump’s new higher tariffs on Canada. Tariffs based, not on economics but on Donald’s petulant reaction to an ad aired by province of Ontario accurately quoting Ronald Reagan. GOP House cowards remain in recess. They don’t ever want to vote again.

Some GOP & right-wing media want us not to care about Canada.

But Canada is 1 of top 2 USA trading partners. (mexico is the other)

Many parts for products made in US come from Canada and most of our imported crude oil. Canadian tourists spent over $20 billion in USA in 2024.

This latest Trump tantrum hurts us all.

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.

Taking sides

October 12, 2025

Hard to root against the Blue Jays or Mariners.

But meanwhile in the NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers payroll $121.7 million.

LA Dodgers $350 million – More than Brewers JUST to five players – Glasnow $32 million, Snell, $27.8 m, Betts, $25 mi Freeman, $22.7 m, Yamamoto $20 m.

And that doesn’t count Ohtani- whose real salary w/ deferred compensation $70 million. #BeatLA

Florida State, after starting off 3-0 has now lost 3 ACC games in a row. And next week they get to take it out on Stanford – on Stanford’s homecoming weekend…..

Kristi Noem’s video at airports blaming Democrats for the shutdown doesn’t just violate the Hatch Act. Have to wonder, with federal employees working without a paycheck, who used our tax dollars to pay for the ad?

Hey media If you are too scared to ask Republicans why they won’t vote to release the Epstein files… Ask them if they and their families are still getting vaccinated.

Serious question. Sometimes it’s called healthcare.gov”

Sometimes states have their own marketplaces How many Americans on Obamacare KNOW it’s Obamacare?

In 2024, Trump made huge gains with Latino voters winning 48% of their votes & a majority of Latino men. Donald also won the votes of 56% of young men 18-29.

And he’s slamming Bad Bunny as a “ridiculous” Super Bowl halftime choice… Another “stable genius” move.

So the CDC now says some of the people they fired this Friday were fired by mistake and will be rehired. One person at least has been fired and rehired twice… The incredible incompetence aside, why would any smart person now take a new job with the federal government?

This week:

16 dead in Tennessee bomb plant explosion

At least 6 dead in Mississippi homecoming mass shooting

At least 4 dead in South Carolina bar mass shooting.

Not a word of consolation for any of them from Trump If he can’t blame an immigrant or liberal he doesn’t care.

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.

#Epsteinphile

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!

Stumbling towards fall

October 4, 2025

So is anyone outside Los Angeles or Philadelphia rooting for the Dodgers or Phillies?

Although if you need a team to root for and are looking for a reason -if the Toronto Blue Jays win, pretty sure they are NOT going to the White House


And here most of us thought the most outrageously bad and embarassing moment of Mark Sanchez’s life was going to be that butt fumble….

So for those in the back, or who just watch Fox News. During this Trump shutdown- Hundreds of thousands of essential government workers are working without pay. Just over a couple hundred GOP House members are being paid and not working.

“Trump” on SNL Cold Open.. We’re facing the greatest threat to America – “late night TV.” Would be funnier if not so true. SNL is not genuflecting. Too soon to start the pool on when Donald will call for the show to be canceled?

Since she’s upset about Bad Bunny, Kristi Noem now says ICE wlll be ‘All Over’ the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, CA .

Median Super Bowl ticket price is usually well over $6,000.

And most of the billionaires in Silicon Valley were themselves immigrants. – Assume they have security. But will ICE try to go after other startup owners now? –

And maybe try San Jose Airport for those Russian and mideast Oligarchs with private planes?


As Trump and his reality host DOD Secretary blow up yet another Venezuelan boat, telling us they are drug traffickers, remember, they told us anyone with tattoos was a gang member. And sent a gay makeup artist to El Salvador to be tortured accordingly

On top of everything else, anyone else think Trump enjoys watching what are basically snuff films with these little boats he’s attacking?

How long until Trump pardons Diddy?

If you’re suffering for any reason now during shutdown – being laid off, not being paid, not getting needed benefits, Mike Johnson thinks it’s “fun.” “Is he trolling the Democrats? Yes. I mean, yes, because that’s what President Trump does & people are having fun with this.”

Not quite closed

October 2, 2025

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.

Shuffling the wild cards

October 1, 2025

Now that Los Angeles moves on they will play Philadelphia in the NLDS.

Phillies hitters must have been watching this Dodgers bullpen nightly implosion with the rapt attention a cat usually gives a mouse.-

SF Giants and NY Mets fans have to be united tonight in thinking.. if only we’d had a chance for 2 out of 3 vs the Dodgers bullpen… And how much fun would it have been to see Tyler Rogers strike out Ohtani with 75 MPH heat?

Though Detroit Tigers have left 15 men on base, is 1 for 15 with RISP today. The team is 2 for 23 with RISP in the Wild Card Series. And here I thought I was done watching the SF Giants for 2025…

Karoline Leavitt just said today “Jared Kushner is widely respected around the world…. “

How many comedians could work for days and never write a line as funny as that?-

Meanwhile VP JD Vance decided to show up at today’s White House Press Briefing. But not his boss.

Because Donald is too tired and frail to stand up at the podium and answer questions?

Hey Jake Tapper. Where’s the book? #OrangeSin

Two Delta planes collided on the ground at La Guardia today, shearing the wine off one plane. Fortunately there was only one injury.

Fox News headlined the story. But didn’t mention DOT Secretary Sean Duffy. If it were former DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg still in charge they’d be calling for his impeachment.

Your reminder – Every one of these Republicans in Congress who are fighting to take healthcare benefits away from millions of Americans have their own taxpayer paid healthcare. And if they qualify for pensions, those same GOP have subsidized healthcare for life.

JD Vance told another racist lie today that ER wait times are long because of “illegal aliens.” But when ACA subsidies go away, many Americans will have to let their insurance lapse. So does JD think poor citizens should die too? Or only the black and brown ones?

As Vance tries to tell us ERs shouldn’t try to save “illegals,” imagine what happens if you have a heart attack jogging and when an ambulance takes you to the hospital, doctors have to ask for a passport before they try to save your life.

As OMB director Vought stops $18 billion in already approved New York City infrastructure projects, allegedly over DEI issues, at what point do blue cities & states try to stop paying federal taxes?

So Republicans, wrap your head around this. The same guy who wants a Nobel Peace Prize, who proudly proclaims himself the best negotiator and deal-maker ever… Can’t even as Commander in Chief with GOP House and Senate make a deal to keep the government open.

Down and not quite out

September 30, 2025

Anyone who doesn’t think women are fit or tough enough to be in combat has never watched a WNBA playoff game

You do not want to be sitting around for next 8 months because you let another team play harder than you.” Former Spurs asst coach & current Aces head coach, Becky Hammon Neither Las Vegas nor Indiana let other team play harder One of best basketball playoff games ev

How many NBA teams passed on then Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon because she wasn’t “head coach material.” Gregg Popovich must be smiling tonight.

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.
