Not quite real

August 15, 2026

Nonpolitical rant against stupidity. Am a New Orleans Saints fan

And excited about Tyler Shough as QB.

He’s healthy but didn’t play a snap in first preseason game. Starters in general play little if at all. And people still BET real money on NFL preseason games?

–

There used to be a second MLB trade deadline on Aug 31

Just as well that it doesn’t exist anymore.

At this point the Dodgers would probably just try to buy the Brewers

–

Not that it will happen, but would be interesting if MLB saved two payoff spots for those teams who get the highest win to payroll races

–

There used to be a second MLB trade deadline on Aug 31

Just as well that it doesn’t exist anymore.

At this point the Dodgers would probably just try to buy the Brewers

As Trump increasingly makes it clear he wants to turn the White House into a royal palace like Versailles has anyone told him what happened to the last rulers to live at Versailles?


Fox News today attacking El-Sayed w/ headline over “Serious animal control issue”s in Detroit. But if you actually READ story, it references lawsuit filed “the same month — & shortly before — city moved Animal Control from Police Department to Health Department led by El-Sayed.”

–

Abraham Lincoln Aircraft carrier has been deployed since Nov 21, 2025. Almost 9 months.

Normally deployments are 5-7 months -And the Draft Dodger in Chief says it’s “Not nearly long enough.”

This should be a Democratic ad in EVERY district with a lot of military families.

Fox News: “Ted Cruz, conservatives respond after Talarico criticizes Bible-related education in schools as ‘propaganda'”

Buried lede: “Talarico blasted the “most insidious” legislation he fought to stop while serving in Texas government, claiming one bill required schools in the state to teach Bible stories as historical fact.”

–

–

One staffer who Donald Trump chose for his backup plane, (while he turned journalists & other staffers including members of his Cabinet into decoy bait on Air Force One) was Dan Scavino. Scavino is on the Kennedy Center board which just voted to keep Trump’s name. Coincidence?

–

Give me a break MSN

Michael Steele saying GOP like Liz Cheney Adam Kinzinger stood up for Americans against their party & voters want to know which Democrats will do the same.

Uh, Cheney, Kinzinger are out of office. And Massie who stood up for Epstein victims soon will be.

–

Wonder if GOP trolls on this website get a bonus for using certain words like “Fraud” or “Communism? against Democrats.

Though oddly they don’t complain when Trump pardons fraudster rich donors, or when he demands a stake in US companies.

–

Just saying, anyone who joined the staff or cabinet of a Presidents who was fine with having his VP hanged should maybe not be shocked that he would turn them into human bait.

–

Will say this regularly.

It wasn’t that long ago that a weekend not only meant a break from work, but we took for granted that we didn’t wake up wondering NOW WTF did our President do today?

Down and out

August 11, 2026

ESPN said SF Giants had a 93.8% chance of winning their game in the bottom of the 9th with a 3-2 one run lead and one out.

ESPN clearly has not been watching the Giants bullpen.

(Astros won, 6-3 in 10 innings)

–

Small mercies.

Been driving me crazy trying to figure out why Blake Tidwell sounded like a slightly familiar name.

“Show me the money.”

One of my favorite movies of all time

And based on the career of Leigh Steinberg!

–

Trump posted tonight on Truth Social “FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino.” Translation. I’d never win another FIFA Peace prize.

·

–

Just saying, if an outsider didn’t know better, based on the number of pictures of when the two couples are together have to imagine an outside observer would think the real First Lady is not Melania but rather Nathalie Harp.

–

–

Is anyone surprised Trump encouraged Max Miller to stay in his re-election race?

Misogynistic abusers of a feather….

Let’s sum up crazy “Trump/catering truck/alternate plane” story.

Donald thought Air Force One might be shot down. by Iran.

So instead of grounding plane, he chose secret way out, without warning any journalists/staffers their lives were at risk.

“Siri, what is a sociopath?”

–

–

Wonder how many of these publicly anti-vaxx Trump acolytes have vaccinated their own children.

Wonder how many don’t know and would have to ask their nannies.

–

Even MSNow.

Talking about tomorrow’s Minnesota primaries w/ Keith Ellison

Plenty of time spent on Royce White, who seems clinicially insane, with much less time on Peggy Flanagan & Angie Craig, who’d both be fine Senators.

And more time on Mike Lindell than on Amy Klobuchar.

Journalism is broken

–

And yes primaries Aug. 11 in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, Wisconsin, South Carolina & Alabama.

Prediction, regardless of who wins Democratic primaries media will ignore moderate wins in favor of focusing on what happens with left-wing & far-left candidates.

The ring isn’t the thing?

July 25, 2026

About once a week the SF Giants look like a very good team

Unfortunately they play in MLB not the NFL

–

Despite having a fan base that is almost half Latino,

Despite representing Los Angeley where Trump is withholding FEMA and other aid after the fire

Despite being from a state, California where Donald is withholding medicaid and other funding, most of the LA Dodgers and their manager showed up at the White House and gave POTUS a World Series ring

You no longer have to be a SF Giants fan to hate the Dodgers

=

Tony Romo was arrested on Thursday night in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while he was under the influence.

Reportedly he had finished an amateur golf tournament where he finished 35-over par.

Sounds like his driving was awful enough before he was drinking.

(Although seriously why does ANYONE with Romo’s money from NFL as a QB and now as an NFL analyst not have a personal driver? Or use Uber ALL the time?

Do I care really where LeBron James signed?

No.

Do I miss the days when Lebron’s obsession with publicity for his decisions made him the biggest known ego in the US?

Yes.

–

Who was more embarassingly servile?

Journalists for showing up at the WHCA dinner?

Or the Dodgers for showing up at the White House?

–

LA Dodgers are printing money with TV contracts.. And sizeable percentage of their fan base is Latino. (Not to mention about 1/2 of roster is either immigrant, black or brown.)
They couldn’t have just given Trump million dollarbribe & bought their way out of White House visit?

–

Trump bombed so hard last night at the WHCA dinner amazed he didn’t say he deserved a Novel peace for stopping.

Yes, we all make compromises sometimes to keep our jobs.

But WHCA journalists really hit a new low last night in acting like they needed to attend that dinner to keep theirs.

–

Snarky but serious question

Supposedly journalists normalize Trump for “access.”

But does access really matter when stories like powerful men raping children don’t get nonstop headlines?

And Watergate level crimes in Donald’s administration happen most days ending in Y?

–

Alex Pretti’s mother wrote a heartbreaking letter six months after his murder by ICE agents about how there has been no accountability for his death.

We know, however, if he and Renee Good had been killed by an immigrant, even accidentally, GOP would have turned them both into causes.

–

Random thought

Live your life in a way that hundreds of millions of people don’t wake up each morning hoping to see that you have died.

Giant attitude problem

July 8, 2026

When it comes down to cheering for a walk to break up a perfect game.

Matt Cain’s gem should stand alone!

–

And when the biggest cheers end up being for Toronto’s pitcher after he threw 8 no-hit innings.

Sigh. At this point all SF Giants fans can hope for is that Trump becomes a Dodgers fan.

(Not that the Giants will win, but maybe someone else can.)

–

It all started going downhill for SF Giants pitching when they didn’t resign Tyler Rogers.

The leader of the bullpen. And look at that ERA in Toronto. Hope he gets to go to the All-Star game.

–

So Ryan Walker irritated many of the SF Giants fan base with blown saves.
Was sent down to AAA.
Returned, upset many more fans with his bible verse Pride Night statement.
And now has an ERA approaching 7.

So why isn’t he pitching now for some “Christian” softball team?

–

A European reporter asks Donald Trump

“Why are you unable to end the Iran war?

Hey USA media, this is how it’s done.

–

US is bombing Iran again.

That FIFA peace prize is looking as tarnished as Donald’s getting FIFA to overturn Balogun’s red card.

–

I guess the NATO summit could have been worse with Donald there.

After the World Cup game Trump could have said he was going to attack Belgium.

–

POTUS “I’ve been elected three times.”

His brain is murkier than the Reflecting Pool.

–

Donald Trump in today’s press conference says “NATO laughed at us, everybody laughed at us, they don’t laugh any more, there’s no more laughing”

More like there’s plenty of laughing, it’s just mixed with crying.

–

Trump is now calling the Iranians, “scum,” “sick people,” etc…

What’s next, he’s going to accuse them of being Democrats?

–

So how long until we hear that the new Air Force One was vandalized by the same invisible people who cut up the reflecting pool?

–

Never been a huge Newsom fan.

But in the wake of yet another politician resigning while still denying allegations, will always admire when after Gavin behaved badly in 2007 at end of his marriage to Kimberly Guilfoyle- affair with a good friend’s wife, he publicly stated: “I want to make it clear that everything you’ve heard and read is true, and I’m deeply sorry about that. I’ve hurt someone I care deeply about”

Refreshing then, and even more now.

Alien invasion.

June 8, 2026

In Madison Square Garden

In the end, the tall Frenchman was more at home tonight than the orange Floridian.

–

This is a good year to be both an SF Giants and San Antonio Spurs fan.

(emphasis on the latter)

–

The Knicks could still win game 3 if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

–

Jame: Talarico showed up to this Spurs watch party in Austin at halftime. Bet unlike our President, Talarico could actually name some players without notes.

–

Trump told reporters he was cheered at the Knicks game: “I thought it was very good. It was certainly amazing. I think mostly cheers. It was loud. And it was very enthusiastic”

So when Donald has his next cognitive test will the doctors at Walter Reed also check his hearing?

–

So since Velveeta Voldemort feels safe there, for the remainder of his term can we save taxpayers billions and just use Madison Square Garden as the White House Ballroom?

–

If MAGA Mike were under any delusion he too won’t someday end up under the Trump bus.

Per the Daily Mail “I have two jobs: being president and being speaker,’ Trump joked in front of Johnson & conservative leaders in the Oval Office.

Trump does not joke.

–

Trump had four years out of office

Didn’t go to a New York Knicks game once.

Didn’t even post about the Knicks.

He’s not a fan.

Donald just can’t bear a big news story not to be about him.

–

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas….
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports”

Timing is everything

May 5, 2026

So NBA has a generational talent (& interesting young man) Victor Wembanyama with the Spurs.

And Anthony Edwards returning from injury sooner than anyone expected.

And they’re starting round 2 of NBA playoffs at nearly 9pm in San Antonio.

Even though they’re playing another central time zone team in the Timberwolves.

Almost 10pm on the East Coast. And only on Peacock

Game finished after midnight on the East Coast. After 11p on a school night for local fans of both teams.

Way to grow the game Adam Silver especially with children.

—

The Giants win a game, the Giants win a game.

This should not be as exciting as it is in May.

Or as surprising that the game stars were Casey Schmitt and Trevor McDonald..

We SF Giants fans in 2026 take all the good days we can get.

–

Apparently this United flight from Venice to Newark that hit a light pole and a bakery truck as they approached the runway, the first time a US commercial plane that was still in the air has collided with a vehicle on a highway.

Has Sean Duffy explained yet how this is Joe Biden’s fault

–

Anyone heard lately about ..

Those two rescued pilots?

The big beautiful healthcare plan?

The Epstein files?

–

So US military says they have sunk six smalI Iranian boats as they are trying to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

And the UAE says they are being attacked by Iran.

Trump’s campaign for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize is going well…

–

-Oh, how much would I have loved to hear Camilla talking privately with Charles over that room while sharing a nightcap.

King Charles looked a lot happier in a brief conversation with Senator Amy Klobuchar than he ever did with Trump

–

The Supreme Court this morning restored mail access to mifepristone.

That’s the headline.

But the truth is they restored mail access for ONE week.

This isn’t over.

Our rights are NOT safe.

–

Finally, it’s now may 5. But for all the star wars jokes, May 4 was also the date that many of us first learned that the US Government could shoot and kill US Citizens.

Powerless?

May 4, 2026

SF Giants on Monday will bring up star prospect Bryce Eldridge, who started the season in AAA, supposedly because the team didn’t think he could hit major league pitching.

After a roadtrip where the SF Giants scored 9 runs in 6 games. (5 in the 2nd game of a rain delayed double header0 thinking it’s pretty clear at worst he’ll fit right in..

–

So the Montreal Canadiens, with nine shots on goal, beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, who had 29 shots on goal, 2-1 in game seven to advance in the NHL playoffs.

(Second fewest shots on goal in a playoff game every, and fewest by a winning team.)

To put this in baseball terms, this is the hockey equivalent of a team winning when they are no-hit

–

Congrats to Cherie Devaux, the first woman trainer to win the Kentucky Derby

Has Trump said yet he could have trained a horse to win the Derby?

Or does he think he could have been a jockey.

–

Donald did attend a PGA event at his Florida Doral golf course

Even with all the extra security, the venue was at least as open as the Washington Hilton.. Almost as if he’s just lying about the need for his ballroom.

–

Trump gleefully told the story of how Queen Camilla saw his Oval Office redecorating and said “wow.” For non-Anglophiles… “Wow” in British slang is similar to “bloody hell”

–

–

Trump’s Iran war & fuel price hikes ultimately put Spirit Airlines out of business.

But of course Donald is blaming Biden administration blocking JetBlue – Spirit merger in 2024.

Except w/ Spirit’s customer service woes, merger might have put JetBlue at risk of bankruptcy too!

–

Don’t get me wrong, wasn’t a fan of Spirit Airlines.

But US major carriers didn’t like them as competition that forced lower fares.

And United and Delta both donated $1 MILLION to Trump’s inaugural.

Can’t imagine that helped Spirit’s cause as re a possible bailout.

–


Asked on MSN,. California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton refuses to say Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Siri, what is a cult?

–

Despite their being a dentist in the White House, Trump claimed Saturday that he had an “emergency dental appointment.” So how long until he claims that his “dentist” says he had the best teeth ever?

Sunday Jeanine Pirro said the DOJ is still open to investigating Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Translation. Now that they got Senator Thom Tillis to agree to confirm Powell’s replacement, they’ll reopen the investigation as soon as Kevin Warsh is seated.

You go girls!

February 23, 2026

Final USA medal count in Milan

33 medals

17 for women

12 for men

4 for mixed teams (like Korey and Cory for curling)

Just saying

–

MAGA loves that Trump called the men’s hockey team.

Did he call the gold medal WOMEN’s team?

–

And the women athletes in Milan/Cortina won 17 medals to the mens’ 12. On gold, women had 6, men had 4

–

So a lot of viral photos of FBI director Kash Patel partying like a frat boy with the US men’s hockey team after their gold medal win.

Supposedly there for business reasons.

But seriously how did Patel get last minute hotel rooms in Milan? They’ve been crazy expensive, nonrefundable, & sold out for a long time. And he has big security entourage. So, how far in advance was this planned? On taxpayers’ dime?

–

–

Is it possible Trump canceled his trip to the Olympics because they wouldn’t give him a medal?

–

So a young WHITE gunman shot dead at Mar-a-Lago, (though Donald was in DC) was per the conservatve Daily Mail was ‘obsessed with Epstein cover up,’ and came from family of ‘avid Trump supporters’

–

“Siri, tell me today’s story that does not appear on Fox News.”

=

Just gets weirder.
Today’s fundraising email 543p ET
“I was thousands of miles in the air. Drinking a Trump diet soda. And all I could think about was… YOU!
It’s Trump here. And YOU haven’t renewed your annual membership & it’s now February.”

He’s was in DC, not flying today.

–

Media-obsessed President Trump, who never misses the smallest slight from any outlet, just said he has not heard about allegations of an extramarital affair involving Secretary Kristi Noem.

So once again the question, is he lying or is it dementia?

–

Dear Greenland

If you could send a hospital ship to America to pickup a seriously ill and confused elderly man the rest of the free world would love you forever.

Throwing the last stone

February 10, 2026

Again, curling is underrated

Also a heck of a lot less likely to break you into pieces than downhill skiing, ski jumping, slopestyle…

–

If you read this early Feb 10, the gold medal match is at 12:05pm Eastern time- 9:05am on the West Cost

–

While some celebrity couples make no sense from the outside, it’s increasingly not hard to understand how Tiger Woods and Lindsay Vonn were attracted to each other and were involved for a couple years.

–

He’s had no problem attacking them for speaking out, but has President Trump actually congratulated any Team USA Olympic athletes?

I’ll wait.

–

Not sure who will be the next US Olympic athlete to say they love our country but hate what is happening because of Trump.

But am sure he/she will again be subject to vitriol from those who take 2nd Amendment as gospel while completely ignoring the 1st.

Hey Velveeta Voldemort

Know you have a vendetta against the state.

But the US mixed doubles curling team, now guaranteed at least a silver medal, is from Minnesota.

And they are MUCH more popular now with most Americans than you are.

Bless your heart

–

Imagine as an American if your preferred vacation spot demanded your social media for past 5 yrs, email addresses from last 10 yrs + personal info on relatives.

You’d probably reconsider for somewhere easier & less scary. As no doubt will much of world faced w/ new USA rule.

Trump already disinvited Democratic Governor from a White House meeting for the National Governor’s Association.

Now he’s disinvited Maryland Gov. Wes Moore,from a bipartisan governors’ dinner

Seems like many restaurants in DC would be happy to host an alternate dinner for ALL governors.

–

Aside from the fact that apparently a whole lot of big name men should be prosecuted over the Epstein Files.

It’s yet another reminder that we need more women in leadership.

–

Immigrants aren’t coming to USA these days

Trump claims he is quickly deporting immigrants at a record rate.

He doesn’t need permanent giant prisons for people he is deporting.

He needs them for his perceived enemies here at home.

Why is this so hard for some to understand?

Amateur hours?

February 4, 2026

Anyone know who won tonight’s NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football Game?

Anyone know there WAS an NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football Game?

–

Amazed the NFL didn’t invite Donald Trump to the Pro Bowl Flag Football game.

Or at least offered him a copy of the prestigious Pro Bowl Championship trophy.

–

Can ANY Trump supporter name a time when he lost, on anything, and accepted it?

I’ll wait.

–

Lindsey Vonn is ‘confident’ she can race at Olympics despite ruptured ACL in left knee

Weaker sex my ass.

–

–

When Kaitlan Collins asked Trump “What do you say to (Epstein) survivors who are unhappy with retractions in the files? “You are the worst reporter, CNN has no ratings because of people like you, I’ve never seen you smile…” “

“Misogynistic pig” is being kind.

·

–

Rare light Senate moment.


In Netflix -Warner Brothers hearing merger, Ted Cruz praises Amy Klobuchar for referencing movie “Grumpy Old Men.”
Klobuchar ” It is relevant to our workplace. But I chose not to say it”
Cruz “Amy, you had the hanging punchline, I needed you to finish it.”

–

–

Susan Collins showed up with a MAGA hat in hands for Trump’s signing of the bill to extend government spending for two weeks.

You know the Senate has no power these days when Collins apparently couldn’t even schedule a manicure as an excuse not to attend.

–

To anyone shocked that some MAGA don’t seem to know Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is American…

Talk to any travel agent you know. Surprising number of people don’t even know Hawaii is a state.

“Do they take US dollars in Hawaii?”

“Do you need a passport for Hawaii?”

No joke

–

I’m so old I remember when Trump started throwing the full weight of his government against Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in a random personal vendetta.

Now he’s going to appeal the release of Liam, the boy with a bunny ears hat, all the way to SCOTUS?

Worst loser EVER.

T’is the season for wining..

December 23, 2025

As a Stanford fan I have one overarching reaction to USC and Notre Dame angrily blaming each other for the loss of their annual game: Pass. The. Popcorn.

–

Chiefs are leaving Missouri & moving to Kansas. Will Trump be mad as Kansas has Dem. Governor? Or happy because he can claim he was right after 2021 Super Bowl?

“Congratulations to Kansas City Chiefs on great game.. You represented the Great State of Kansas so very well,”

–

One, does ANYONE care about the Pro Bowl Games?

Two, the Jets, Saints and Vikings were the only teams without a representative.

The NFL can’t even ask New Orleans rookie Tyler Shough or Saints’ Northern Ireland’s Charlie Smyth for fun?

(and thinking Jets and Vikings have to have SOMEONE…)

–

Do we believe anything Trump’s Commerce Department reports? Asking for a country.

–

FOX News & MAGA trolls are ranting nonstop about fraud in Minnesota. But why no equal outrage about Donald pardoning David Gentile, a private equity investor found guilty in a $1.6 BILLION fraud scheme? Which also means defrauded investors get no restitution.

–

Jim Beam is shuttering its trademark distillery in 2026.
Canada hasn’t bought any US-manufactured spirits since March in response to Trump’s ongoing tariff regime. Overall, U.S. whiskey sales to Canada are down 60%. #ETTD

–

Who says there’s no good news these days: “In a large new study, researchers found that eating high-fat cheese or cream was associated with a lower risk of developing dementia.” Does this mean pizza is brain food!?

–

Any story pulled “at the request of the White House” – like Sharyn Alfonsi’s report about Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration to a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador, deserves to be a bigger story. And apparently the CBS Sixty Minutes story now leaked by Canada etc is going viral.

–

Bari Weiss appears to be yet another woman who thinks kowtowing to Donald will make her career. She should talk to Elise Stefanik.

Saw Delaware DMV trending and my immediate thought was “mass shooting.” Sadly, only in America do we think this way Sadly, only in America are we usually right It’s the guns, stupid.

–

Trump Golden Fleet? More like a Golden Fleece job.

—

People join the military for all kinds of reasons. But did anyone sign up because they wanted to risk their life invading Venezuela or Greenland?

–

From a Facebook friend


Love New Orleans but, Louisiana: Rankings (US News, 2025) Crime & Corrections: 50 Economy: 50 Health Care: 44 Education: 46 Infrastructure: 48 Natural Environment: 49 Opportunity: 46

They’re toast?

December 7, 2025

So Notre Dame, after not making the CFP, apparently turned down a bid to play BYU in the wildly popular Pop-Tarts bowl in Orlando December 27. Bet the Fighting Irish fans are frosted.

–

But yeah, a team that won’t join a conference where they might play a championship game now won’t play in any postseason game that doesn’t give them a chance to win a championship game. This tracks.

–


Although, three loss Alabama, who lost to FLORIDA STATE, were just blown out by Georgia 28-7, and barely beat 5-7 Auburn by a touchdown..

Not that I have any love for Notre Dame but if we needed any more proof with Alabama in that the CFP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the SEC.

–

Meanwhile the consensus top ranked college football team in the country is country is .. Indiana?!!

And the Kansas City Chief are probably out of the NFL playoffs

Just like we all predicted…

—

Trump now ranting on Truth Social that Democrat Henry Cuellar is disloyal for not switching parties after Donald gave him an apparently unsolicited pardon on bribery charges: “Next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

Now he’s out in the open with his “Quid pro quo.”

Did he think the pardon was something Cuellar HAD to pay back?

–

So now that Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar has said he will not become a Republican over-under on how long it will be until Trump rescinds his pardon?

Donald Trump tonight said Netflix-Warner Bros. $72 billion deal ‘could be a problem’

Possible translation, “will Netflix donate to my ballroom, give me an award and make a puff piece movie about ME?

–

Donald now says he plans to “rebuild Dulles Airport because it’s not a good airport. It’s a terrible airport.. We’re gonna make that into something really spectacular. We have an amazing plan for it.” Trump’s gonna try to name it after himself isn’t he?

–

Trump signed the bill to release the Epstein Files in 30 days on November 19.

The clock is down to 11 days

So what excuse will Donald use to ignore the deadline?

=

Has Trump blamed Biden for Pearl Harbor yet?

Money still talks

October 26, 2025

“What we really need during a tense tied pitchers’ duel World Series game is a Jonas Brothers concert” said no baseball fan ever.

–

Meanwhile Game 1 could be the high water mark for the Blue Jays… or it could be the first win in an upset series. But Blake Snell signed 2 yr, $62 million contract w/ SF Giants in early 2024, pitching all of 20 games then skipping his last start before opting out & signing w/ Dodgers for 5 yrs, $182 million So World Series game 1 could not have been more fun for the Giants.

–

From World Series Game 1 “Dodgers last seven starting pitchers had combined to allow 5 runs. When all was said & done on Saturday night, Snell himself had allowed 5.”

Of course as an SF Giants fan I get it, LA could win the next 4 games. (And won the second.) You take your fun when you can.

–

Yes, Yoshinobu  Yamamoto pitched another postseason complete game in game 2.

The Dodgers are paying him the highest contract ever for a pitcher only – $325 million over 12 years – over $27 million a year

And yet Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow AND Shohei Ohtani are all making more in 2025. Over $32 million for Snell, Glasgow and Ohtani over $28 million

–

Trump doesn’t joke. So have to assume that he’s serious about running in 2028. But a big question, what loophole for a third term can he find that wouldn’t allow him to be challenged by Barack Obama?

–

Meanwhile, ICYMI -Now US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America So the President who claims he deserves a Noble Peace Prize now wants to start MORE wars to distract from the Epstein Files?

–

GOP Sen.Lankford questioned Trump’s administration’s strikes on Venezuelan vessels w/out approval of Congress. “Administration needs to give insight into Congress. If this was happening w/ this level of insight under Biden administration, I’d be apoplectic,”

So why ISN’T he apoplectic now?

–

Trump has no reason to send election monitors to California. And about 80% of the state votes by mail.

Except CA has rejected him soundly three times. DonOLD wants revenge, he wants his private army to harass and arrest Californians & at least he hopes to intimidate people so that they stay home.

–

In NJ, DOJ will monitor polling in populous & immigrant-heavy Passaic County. In California, DOJ will monitor LA, Orange, Fresno & Kern Counties; 17 million people including most heavily Latino areas of state.

Will ICE be with them? Trial run for 2026?

So Trump’s ICE now is arresting immigrant workers in blue cities. And many MAGA are laughing.

Pretty damn sure that many many Republicans employ undocumented folks too. At some point the numbers Stephen Miller wants mean going after them as well.

Not quite after midnight

September 7, 2025


How many people on the East Coast went to bed and turned off this Bills Ravens game? Heck, how many Buffalo Bills fans went home?

–

Lost in the insanity of the last four minutes of Bills-Ravens game. Buffalo got ball at their own 27 with 25 seconds left in first half. No time outs. And Josh Allen got them, (pass, spike, pass) downfield for FG where review had to prove there was 1 second left.

(And it didn’t even take a defensive F*up like the one that caused the “Minnesota Miracle” vs. New Orleans

–

Am a Saints fan but this from Josh Allen “People who left the stadium, that’s okay, we’ll be fine. Have some faith next time.”

–

Back to baseball, as the SF Giants go back to reality


So of course the first game the SF Giants lost in the past two weeks in truly awful fashion happens to be a blown win for Justin Verlander…


As competitive as he is, what about Justin Verlander trying the closer role for SF Giants next year?

Or late inning(s) of a tie game. Could pick up a win or more that way too. 🙂

Anyone think If asked this morning at the White House, Trump could have named the two men in the US Open final?

–

Imagine you’ve splurged for a bucket list trip to the men’s final. And you miss part of it because a “monstrous man baby” decided he wanted to spend millions in taxpayer dollars and show up to watch.

=

Fox News apoplectic on “Free speech” over UK comedian being arrested at Heathrow over tweet urging violence against trans-activists. (He was ordered to stay off Twitter.) Please. Trump wants to take Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship because he doesn’t like what she says about HIM.

–

As much as Fox News loves to praise Dear Leader’s deportations I’m waiting for all the stories of Americans who are thrilled to have gotten the construction, manufacturing, hospitality, agriculture etc jobs GOP CLAIMS immigrants have been taking from US citizens…

–

And what Fox News doesn’t cover often says as much as what they do. Fox website not covering Trump’s bragging on new “Rose Garden Club” at White House. Almost as if they know viewers would be appalled by fancy dinners for GOP politicians/donors while Donald slashes food assistance.

–

So was Trump unhappy because a Spanish speaking man won the US Open today?

Or because he couldn’t threaten Rolex into enough free watches over his threatened Swiss tariffs?

Fellow Democrats.

Didn’t seem to matter on a national level that New York City elected a man now indicted for multiple felonies as their current mayor. Why should it matter if NYC elects a democratic socialist this time? We have more important issues to argue about.

1 in 10 jobs in USA is supprted by tourism. World Travel & Tourism Council projected in May that United States will lose $12.5 billion in international visitor spending in 2025. USA was only country out of 184 economies that will see decline in 2025. Are we great yet?

The SF Giants gave Justin Verlander five runs of support and did not blow the leadh.

Ths is Verlander’s FIRST win as an SF Giants player at home. Indeed ever at Oracle.. Hope this isn’t a sign of the acopalypse.

·-

Never been to a Cracker Barrel. But have to be amused that their rebrand didn’t even last a Scaramucci.

–

So being MAGA means you mock liberals for caring about their pronouns, while you lose your mind over a restaurant changing to a generic logo?

Trump does not have the authority to fire Lisa Cook Trump does not have the authority to fire Lisa Cook Did I mention that Trump does not have the authority to fire Lisa Cook?

–

Despite his house & office being searched… John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former NSA is not backing down. Disagree with the man on most everything but he has more cojones than any GOP member of Congress.

I did not have “John Bolton, member of the resistance,” on my bingo card.-

Trump is declining Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s offer to walk the streets of Baltimore with him.

He claims it’s because the city is a “hell hole” We all know the real reason. Donald can’t really walk any more

–

The President convicted of 34 felonies says “I’m not a dictator, I just stop crime….”

–

Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster

But she speaks with a soft British upper-class voice.

Not hard to see how she impressed at-risk young girls as she procured them for rape.

–

In Salem witch hunt days, accused women were tied up & thrown into water. If they floated, they were guilty witches, if they sank they were innocent. But often dead. Abrego Garcia’s choice, plead guilty & go to Costa Rica, plead innocent & be deported to Uganda, feels like that.

–

So does Donald think all this performative ICE stuff will distract people when they need to take out a loan to buy a hamburger?

–

Receipts don’t lie. Amy Klobuchar tonight sums it up for regular Americans on Donald Trump: “He cannot fire his way out of this economy.”

And he’s NOT stopping crime. Trump is sending troops to cities, while he is defunding the police Democrats need to keep talking about this

–

Estimates are Donald is spending over $1 MILLION dollars a day in DC on his National Guard stunt. And now much is it costing other states’ economies to have the Guard, generally reservists, uprooted from their regular jobs and lives? Where are GOP deficit hawks on this one?

–

Fox News STILL headlining drunken Cincinnati July brawl with racial overtones on their website

1. People I know in Cincy have moved on. Brawl happened outside a late night club & no one died. 2. If Cincinnati is so bad why didn’t Trump tell GOP Ohio Governor DeWine to send National Guard THERE?

–

Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelse.

So what is Velveeta Voldemort going to do to because he will hate her having all the headlines!?

–


Can Trump actually fire Lisa Cook? Legally no, And SCOTUS may decide not to let him tank the economy. But every minute we are talking about this we are not talking about the Epstein files.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Heck, release the Birthday Card

So you’re saying there’s not a chance….

August 25, 2025

It’s August 25, and the Colorado Rockies have been eliminated from postseason contention.

Sadly too late for the Rockies to be considered for the Little League World Series?

–

Los Angeles rookie Dalton Rushing, asked if Padres Dodgers rivalry is “the best in baseball” – “I think so. I think it’s pretty safe to say.”

Uh, Dalton, not only is Padres Dodgers rivalry not the best in baseball, it’s not even the best in California.

#BeatLA

SFGiants

Donald Trump is now demanding Roger Clemens “one of the greatest pitchers of all time” be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. For some reason he hasn’t said a word about Home Run King Barry Bonds. Very white of him.

If your commute involves a bridge, any bridge, wrap your head around the fact that the President of the United States may cut off funding to repair the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore because he doesn’t like Maryland’s governor…

–

Meanwhile, as Ukraine’s survival hangs in balance, we still haven’t seen Epstein files & inflation gets much worse, -Fox News top Sunday am headline:

“Former Biden SOS Antony Blinken asked to leave NY beach by lifeguard”

In the actual story “

Lifeguards enforced beach closures as hurricane brought dangerous conditions. (Turns out Blinken and a friend were sitting in chairs on the beach and told to leave.

And then his from Fox ” And “Blinken is no stranger to controversy over how he spends his leisure time.”

–

The people who are pretending that Wes Moore’s delayed-due-to-a-paperwork-error Bronze Star from Afghanistan wasn’t earned, are the same people who genuflect before Comrade Bone Spurs.

–

Fox News top headline on tragic Florida truck crash w/ immigrant was apparently at fault & 3 died. Don Jr sending emails “Trump sends own pen to sign booking of illegal alien trucker.”

Has Donald said anything about cop killer in Utah, or the CDC shooter,

or the assassin of Melissa & Mark Hortman? For starters?

–

JD Vance said “If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history they all ended with some kind of negotiation.” So he’s saying that Hitler and Eva Braun in their bunker negotiated whether or not he’d shoot himself before she took cyanide?

Holding the cards?

August 23, 2025

If the MLB season ended today the teams with the three biggest payrolls in MLB, Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, would actually all make the playoffs. But only as wild cards.

–

Over 40,000 people showed up at Oracle Park to see Bay FC today play the Washington Spirit. Bay FC did lose 3-2. OTOH, 2 is more than the SF Giants often score at Oracle

–

–

Sunday, Aug 24, is Ukrainian Independence Day. Canadian PM Mark Carney has just landed in Kyiv, Ukraine. Donald Trump after his morning Truth Social rants, will no doubt head to the golf course

–

Report = Trump to sign order directing DOJ to criminally charge flag burning.


From Boy Scout Handbook “US flag worn beyond repair may be burned in a fire. Ceremony should be conducted w/ dignity & respect & flag burned completely to ashes.” Oops

–

“Justice Dept. Sent Congress Epstein Files That Were Already Public.” GOP will do ANYTHING to avoid having to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Could we start by releasing the birthday card?

–

Remember all those Boston Red Sox fans furious when the team traded Devers to the SF Giants in June? The Red Sox have moved ahead of the NY Yankees in the standings, embarrassed NY 12-1 today in Yankee Stadium and have beaten the Yankees EIGHT straight times.

–

Fox News wants people to be outraged that a Democratic socialist may be elected Mayor of New York City.

While they shrug off that the President of the United States in the Oval Office is fan-boying a picture of himself with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

–

Remember being shocked as a teenager that supposedly decent people in Amsterdam could have turned Anne Frank’s family in to the Germans. Not any more.

Many MAGA would betray them now and brag about it on Twitter.

–

WTAF? Donald Trump today attacked San Francisco & said “I own a big chunk of the Bank of America building.” Uh, the building, featured in “Towering Inferno” has been named 555 California since 2005.

But Donald used same line word for word in 2015 “I own a big chunk of the Bank of America building.”

Siri, what is dementia?

–

Donald’s fundraising email today is headlined “I want to get to heaven.”

What is this new obsession?

–

We all need to keep saying this, and reminding those trying to paint her as a “victim” now.

Ghislaine Maxwell not only helped Jeffrey Esptein recruit and procure young girls, the victims themselves say she physically participated in raping them.

–

Again this is a direct quote from Velveeta Voldemort this morning. “Some people refer to it as the Trump Kennedy Center, but we’re not prepared to do that quite yet. Maybe in a week or so.” He is insane. What excuse do his Republican sycophants in Congress have?

–

If John Bolton is so bad surely we should fire the person who hired him as National Security Advisor.

–

Hey GOP bending the knee to Donald – you don’t have to like John Bolton to realize, if it can happen to a wealthy white Conservative male former Trump supporter, it can happen to you.

Meeting rock bottom

August 16, 2025

SF Giants Friday night

1 run in 1st, Rays score 1 in 2nd 2 runs in 2nd, Rays score 2 in 3rd 3 runs in 3rd, Rays score 3 in 4th.

Giants loaded bases w/ no outs in 8th, leadoff double in 9th. But never scored again.

Rays win on 1 run in 9th. 2025 season in nutshell #NothingLikeIt

–

And yet, since June 13 when the team was tied for first with the Dodgers, the Giants are not the worst team in baseball.

That would be the Mets. (truth)

–

NCAA handed Jim Harbaugh a 10 year ‘show cause penalty’ which takes effect after his current show cause penalty, So he can’t be hired by a college team until Aug. 7, 2038.  When Jim, now the coach of the LA Raiders would be 74.

As if then he’d WANT to go back to college football

As if, the way things are going, we know college football will definitely still exist in 2038.

–

Who says Trump got nothing out of today.

1. For another news cycle no one is talking about the Epstein files.

2. He made his boss look good.

Donald Trump’s week summed up:. I need to distract Americans from my good friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. So I’ll show them how good friends I am with Vladimir Putin.

–

Firing BLS head for posting facts… T

Trying to take over DC..

Fancy new ICE trucks…

Fake summit with Putin.. Anyone got a guess for what Donald’s gonna do next week to distract from Epstein files?

–

All you need to know about how Velveeta Voldemort views democracy: Donald said he called Putin’s closest ally, Belarus Pres. Lukashenko, a long-ruling dictator long shunned on bipartisan basis in US. Trump said they had a “wonderful talk.”.

–

All you need to know about how good mail in voting is. Donald says Putin is against it.

–

Meanwhile from a British friend

From a small town in the Cotswolds. Especially love “Not too post to protest.”

Looking for linings…

August 12, 2025

Thinking the season for SF Giants fans has now been reduced to being happy when the Dodgers and Yankees lose.

–

Hah, true story: 1992 when Giants thinking of moving to Tampa & Padres were in town. Tony Gwynn was signing autographs before game, even for a lot of SF fans gathered around the San Diego dugout.. While Tony signed for my son, told him some of us might become Padres fans if Giants abandoned us.

He said “Wouldn’t you root for the Dodgers?” I can still hear the universal chorus of loud NOs!

–


If you only follow Fox News & right wing media you probably don’t know there was another mass shooting today. In a Target in Austin, Texas At least 3 killed “Suspect described as WHITE male wearing shorts & Hawaiian shirt.”

If he were brown it would be breaking news

–

There was almost certainly only one question Trump demanded to be answered by his newly nominated BLS commissioner, Ej Antoni:

“Will you promise to say the jobs numbers are what I tell you they are?”

–

Kim Davis, the clerk who refused to marry gay couples, now is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the right to gay marriage. Kim has been married four times with four children by three different men. A real poster child for the sanctity of marriage.

–

Donald Trump covered a multitude of subjects and insulted a lot of people today at his press briefing. You know who he didn’t mention? Officer David Rose. Murdered in Atlanta by an angry white anti-vaxxer. Say his name #DavidRose

–

Dear media:

Could ONE of you summon the courage to ask Donald Trump why if he has the authority to call out the National Guard to Washington DC that he did not do it on January 6, 2021? Asking for a country. And Brian Sicknick’s family.-

Also media. This is no joke. Do some research. Talk to hotels. It is very possible Epstein diversion Alaska-Russia summit has this has been secretly planned for couple weeks. Anchorage hotels are never cheap during summer but they aren’t insane. The city is not THAT popular with tourists.

But clients on July 31 asked for 2 rooms aug 14-16. City was nuts. 50% or more over normal prices. Embassy Suites (!) over $1000 a night, most things sold out. Actually literally said to one of them “what the heck is going in on Anchorage?”

–

In DC, the worst crime is coming from inside the (White) House.

Best that money can’t buy

July 21, 2025

Milwaukee Brewers payroll, $108 million

Los Angeles Dodgers payroll $338 million –

Brewers sweeping the Dodgers: Priceless.

–

(And even with that $338 million, Shohei Ohtani is only making $2 million of his $700 million contract. Over 97 percent of Ohtani’s salary will be paid out after the 2033 season.)

–

–

Automatic runner Brandon Marsh scored on replay review of call of catcher’s interference w/ bases loaded in 10th inning Monday night to give Phillies 3-2 walk-off win over Red Sox.

So Philadelphia won because of a bizarre relatively new extra innings rules aided by technolgoy

But MLB can’t use ABS system to challenge simple ball/strike calls? Make it make sense.

–

Realistically the Washington Commanders are not going to change their name back to the Redskins to comply with Trump’s threats

But every headline the media writes about Donald;s latest insanity is a headline not focused on Democrats leaders speaking out and leading the resistance against him

–

Karoline Leavitt still trying to gaslight American public into thinking Trump has lowered inflation. Maybe administration can release false figures.

But anyone who actually shops for groceries knows how much prices are going up! Who you gonna believe, me or your lying receipts?

–

As GOP Mark Green resigns from Congress your reminder:

1 of 3 other vacancies was seat held by TX Dem. Sylvester Turner, who died March 5

Gov. Abbott insists Texas needs special session to gerrymander, but also there’s no need for special election to fill Turner’s seat until November.

–

Current Trump/GOP refrain “Who you gonna believe, me or your lying grocery store receipts?”

–


ICE head, Todd Lyons says agency to crack down on American companies hiring unauthorized workers

Yeah, we’ll see the first rich white Republican business owner who hired undocumented immigrants being arrested in two weeks…

Has Sean Duffy come up with an excuse to blame last night’s Alaska Airlines ground stop on Pete Buttigieg?

–

Now it’s MLK Jr. documents being released to distract from the Epstein files?

What’s next. Does DOJ have access to information on the Lindbergh baby kidnapping? On Lincoln’s assassination by John Wilkes Booth? And still Fox News ignores that birthday card…
