Raining and reigning.

April 21, 2026

Still early in the MLB season, but how about these stats?

4-1, 2.28 ERA

And who’d expect they’d belong to Landen Roupp?

(Yes, he has 4 of the 10 SF Giants wins.)

–

So is tonight a sign that things are improving? Or will it be the high water mark of the SF Giants season? #BeatLA

–

When the SF Giants were up 3-1 in bottom six and it started raining, how many Giants fans hoped for a downpour to call the game?

–

Sucks that Wemby has a concussion. But hoping he’ll be back within a week.

Although actually Spurs were ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers in game 2 until Harrison Barnes and Dylan Harper also got hurt.

–

“Trump says the U.S. will extend its ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request”

Well, it is TACO Tuesday

–

Have seen Democratic and Republican administrations.

Never seen ANY administration so incapable of talking about their own accomplishments, whether legitimate or not, without bashing their predecessor(s).

Is Biden and Obama bashing mandatory in every Cabinet member’s speeches?

–


“Five months. I would have won Vietnam, very quickly. I would have, if I were president. I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time”

Cadet Bone Spurs is speaking.

–

Kevin Warsh, Trump’s nominee as Fed chair, has said that he will be an “independent actor, not beholden to the President.”

If that’s true he won’t last a Scaramucci

–

Your reminder that no one was interested in redistricting for the 2026 election until Velveeta Voldemort ordered Texas to get him more GOP congressional seats.

A Twitter friend shouted out the Atlantic reporters for posting their story about Kash Patel instead of waiting to put it in a book.

Amen.

Et Tu Bob Woodward?

(How many died because he sat on Donald’s admission that they KNEW Covid was airborne?)

–

As Xavier Becerra surges & Dem Gubernatorial prospects in California seem better, thinking again of friend’s idea:

She thought Swalwell allegations just after he became frontrunner maybe weren’t leaked by GOP but by Democrats worried they’d come out in May, or worse, October.

–

So Lori Chavez-Deremer is out as Labor Secretary.

Guess in the Trump administrations you can get away with drinking and misconduct allegations only if you’re male.

–

Have no problem with Sade in the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame.

But again and not for the last time, Carpenters should be in there too.

Not just for all the hits, but how influential their music and arrangements turned out to be.

And Karen had one of the best voices, EVER.

Still growing…

December 9, 2025

Philip Rivers, 44, is unretiring to join the Indianapolis Colts.

Rivers has TEN children, so maybe he really does need to feed his family.

–

On Jeff Kent making it to the Hall of Fame before Barry Bonds…

In 2000, when Jeff Kent won the NL MVP, he generally batted 4th behind Bonds.

Barry had 117 walks, 28 of them OFFICIALLY intentional.

–

–

And so it begins. Dodgers just signed closer Edwin Díaz on record-setting 3-year, $69 million deal. The only question at this point, how many of the bottom payroll teams together won’t total as much as LA’s 2026 payroll?

–

Headline this morning “Infantino accused of breaching FIFA ethics code.” Shocking. FIFA HAS an ethics code?

–

Actual headline on

@FOXNews website: “Trump-backed candidate loses as Democrats score rare Florida win in Miami race.” Are Fox folks packing bags and looking around just in case for lifeboats on the Trumptanic?

–

Maybe male reporters figure the President of the United States’ increasing misogyny towards women reporters is okay because attacks aren’t directed at them.

1. Silence is consent. Do you all have wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters?

2. Do you think he won’t come for you too?

On Trump’s personal abuse of female reporters. It’s not about if women can take care of ourselves. We can. Any liberal woman on social media gets worse insults regularly.

It’s almost a badge of honor. But the President of the United States should be better than a Twitter troll.

FK Jr. rambling at National Airport on making family airport travel healthier – including building more playgrounds for kids at airports. Sure, let’s get increasingly unvaccinated kids running around & breathing hard in playspaces with others. What could go wrong?

–

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy to reporters:

“My favorite thing is to take your ideas, make them my own and then sound really smart & insightful. And then you get the benefit of getting your idea implemented.” What a charming excuse for shameless plagiarism.

Duffy is also touting the idea of workout spaces including pull up bars at airports.

Great, just what we need. People listening to Duffy, dressing up to go to the airport, doing mini-workouts, then sitting sweaty and stinky next to other passengers crammed into coach.

Gavin Newsom now says he’s less concerned about President Trump, 79, possibly running for a 3rd term “I’ve softened, to your question, on this notion of a third Trump term because time of life and state of mind” Yes, he’s calling Donald “Old.”

–

Tump says his farm bailout “would not be possible without tariffs.” Fixed it for him. Remove “possible” and substitute “necessary.”

–

Your reminder that whatever lies the GOP tells about Obamacare, that they have NEVER in the 15 plus years since it passed in 2010 come up with an alternative except letting people die, or go bankrupt, without insurance.

–

Eileen Higgins tonight won election in Miami to be the city’s first Democratic mayor in 30 years…

How long until Trump sends ICE to Miami?

–

So if Trump’s Supreme Court is going to give the President unlimited power, can the next Democratic President simply expand the Supreme Court? Asking for a country that doesn’t want a King.
