Fun and games.

September 13, 2026

Rumors are that College Gameday Week 4 will be in Athens, Georgia, for the Oklahoma – UGA game.

So since ESPN had Ted Cruz on today, presume they will invite Jon Ossoff then for equal time?

Nice win, 17-10, for Michigan as clock ran out with Oklahoma on their own 35 and no time to get off a 4th down play.

But to be fair the Wolverines should have given the Sooners an extra second to try a Hail Mary.

And while Ohio State blew a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter to lose to Texas, this 1979 memory from when Stanford played then #1 USC

The Cardinal were down 21-0 to the Trojans. One of the members of the Stanford Band had a phrase on his tuba in duct tape “But we’re smarter”

Stanford came back to TIE 21-21. Tuba tape postgame said “AND we’re smarter.”

FIBA World Cup women’s basketball final is Sunday.

Now to be fair, with baseball playoffs approaching and both the NFL and NCAA football seasson starting, it’s understandable that many sports fans aren’t paying attention.

Yet Fox News has their now almost daily report on Sophie Cunningham, pretending they care about WNBA.

Check their website daily …. not a word about FIBA Women’s basketball World Cup.

Bet Fox won’t cover WNBA playoffs either. Unless Sophie gets to play a few minutes.

Meanwhile, worth a minute:

All these trolls saying Jimmy Kimmel wouldn’t have Ken Paxton on his show..

Kimmel last night on his show said he has invited Paxton to appear. And invited him again live on camera.

Ken is as scared of a talk show interview as he is of actual news reporters.

Trump wants the Smithsonian to remove a modern art sculpture “Infinity” outside the Museum of American History with a “colossus” 30 foot statue of George Washington.

George Washington wouldn’t WANT a 30 foot statue of himself outside the Smithsonian. He rejected titles like “Your Excellency” and voluntarily stepped down after two terms. #NoKings

State TV – Fox News at it again.

This story about a Sonoma county politician

“Ex-Dem mayor found liable for alleged sexual assaults of 7 women, ordered to pay $13M”

Dominic Foppoli is a scumbag. But alleged assaults started in 2001. He was Republican until 2016, when he switched to Dem, as he had statewide ambitions.

Trump today says a trade deal Canada could come “fairly soon.”

In two weeks?

Trump is talking about a united Ireland

So far the only country he’s “united” is Canada

Against the USA

Atlantic Industrial Coatings, Trump’s reflecting pool Contractor “blamed its own errors (for liner damage) in a report dated Aug. 14, then provided more detail on Sept. 2.”
So Trump has KNOWN this while he was still blaming mythical vandals & his own DOJ dropped the case.

Not getting enough attention. Trump on voting yesterday told attendees at his vanity convention rally in Dallas to pledge allegiance to him and to vote “I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like hell like they do.” Every accusation is a confession.

Almost final

July 19, 2026

France and England combined to score TEN goals in their third place game.

Figured at the time probably a lot more than the SF Giants and Seattle Mariners will combine to score tonight.

(And even in 10 innings they only scored…)

Logan Webb pitched a one hit shutout into the 7th, and left after giving up only two hits. Alas, the 2nd was a home run after a walk and HBP. Giants baseball… nothing like it.

Things could have been worse with this World Cup.

Iranian team treated badly, Somalian ref denied a visa, along with many fans..

But no ICE killings or mass arrests. Though many stayed home in fear.

Event has been popular on television & stadiums filled up, eventually.

Not talked about enough, however,, many hotels, especially luxury hotels, took a bath on bookings.

Now at least two more dead in a war that should never have started…

And that Trump claims to have ended about 10 times.

When will even Republicans say enough and take the keys from this angry elderly man?

So Todd Blanche wants us to believe he doesn’t have power to indict anyone with the Epstein Files…

But he had power (and time) to indict James Comey over a photo posted on social media of seashells arranged to read “86 47”.

Meanwhile, in Maine, 12 candidates are running to replace Graham Platner as Dem nominee for Senate.

At least 6 have serious backgrounds in politics.

If you look at Fox News/right wing media, headlines are about trans woman who would be a fringe candidate regardless of gender

Wonder how Fox News is spinning Trump’s teleprompter operator being put on leave for using insider knowledge to bet and win on prediction markets about what the President would say in his speeches?

Surprise, they aren’t covering it. At all

It’s not on their website.

Fox doesn’t cover Donald’s naps either…


How long until one of these testosterone-fueled fly bys that Pete Hegseth loves ends up in tragedy? And when it happens, who will he blame?

John Fetterman has become the media’s new Joe Manchin.

Perhaps the most covered “Democratic” Senator, generally at odds with the rest of the party…

And someone who takes airtime away from good Democrats who are actually doing their jobs and trying to help the American people,.

If you try to take disability or paid leave from your job, there are procedures you or your family need to go through, along with generally plenty of paperwork.

So why aren’t we, American taxpayers, demanding Mitch McConnell or his wife go through those procedures?

But all Mitch has to do if he’s alive & conscious (which the pictures claim he is) is call Beshear to say hello. Facetime works…

Think we’d all trust Andy’s word on the call. Or Beshear should fly to DC and ask for a private hospita visit, no cameras.

I like the Kentucky Govenor a lot. But it’s time for Andy, however he wants to do it, to demand proof of life from his state’s senior Senator

GOP Rep Andy Ogles wants to modify the 22nd Amendment to allow someone to serve up to three nonconsecutive terms! Okay then #Obama2028


The same people who didn’t think Hunter Biden, a Georgetown and Yale Law graduate, was qualified to sit on a few boards have no problem with saying Darline Graham is qualified to win a six year term to be one of the most powerful Americans in the country
