Not so old men

May 29, 2026

Not only would most of the spurs, except Wemby, be carded trying to buy a beer, two of them, Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, both 20, actually aren’t old enough to buy a drink in the US

How young is San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson?

He was a four-year point guard at Stanford.

Two of his teammates? Robin and Brook Lopez

(Brook is still playing for the Clippers.)

Meanwhile you know it’s been a tough year when as an SF Giants fan who was otherwise occupied Thursday to be able to think “okay the team absolutely won’t let fans down tonight.)

Giants had an off day


Listing Milli Vanilli, a group who ended up admitting they didn’t actually sing on their records, and one of whose members is now dead, as performers for Freedom 250, is one of the most on brand things Trump has done.

Almost all his Freedom 250 performers have dropped out.

So for retribution is Trump going to outlaw music now?

She was one of the later to withdraw, citing not being told that it was a partisan event. But can anyone imagine Trump listening to Martina McBride singing her hit about an abused woman setting the house on fire with her husband in it?

“Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day”

How long until the Freedom 250 headliners come down to Kid Rock and Lara Trump?

So Tuesday night, Ken Paxton got 885,949 GOP US Senate primary votes.

Just putting these numbers from the Democratic US Senate primary out there James Talarico -1,103,371 Jasmine Crockett – 943,168

Night one watching Jimmy Kimmel (and the late night ABC local news instead of CBS)

So far so good.

This line – “Donald put the ‘me’ in Memorial Day.”

Scott Bessent, justifying the $1.776 Billion Trump Slush fund says “no American should be targeted for political reasons.”

Thinking today that it’s hard to remember most of the cabinet in Trump’s first term.

Because they mostly weren’t attention whores and batsh*t crazy.

CBS News has become an oxymoron.

Night one watching Jimmy Kimmel (and the late night ABC local news instead of CBS)

So far so good.

This line – “Donald put the ‘me’ in Memorial Day.”

So if Donald has 100% approval ratings or whatever he claims why has almost every performer listed for his Great American State Fair dropped out?

Open note to MAGA trolls who say it’s fine if Trump goes to public sporting events because they have security.

Have they been to sporting events vs secure areas in DC?

Yeah, they check you going into a game. But NOTHING like the Senate galleries, for starters. Where they take everything. Even doublechecked my watch to make sure it did nothing but tell time.

Has Trump blamed Romania for being hit by a Russian drone yet?

Now Donald claims it’s going to be “the most successful World Cup they have ever had.”

Because they gave him a trophy.

It is going to be an economic disaster for hotels and perhaps for cities hosting the games.

=

Jimmy Kimmel last night

“Trump’s approval rating among Americans is down to 37%. But in that Cabinet room it’s about 110%.”

If Kimmel is wrong it’s that he’s underestimating the 110%.

Last late night …

May 21, 2026

Two SF Giants alums pitching tonight in Yankees – Blue Jays game

Camillo Doval gave up a home run in .2 innings and now has a 5.68 ERA.

Tyler Rogers pitched a scoreless 8th ending with getting Aaron Judge to hit into a DP.
His 9th “hold” And he now has a 1.54 ERA.

Not the Onion

Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr are behind “The Enhanced Games.” A mini-Olympics where PEDs are allowed and even encouraged.

Cheating meets reality TV. So on brand for the Trump family.

So just how many GOP Senators has Donald thrown under the bus?

Cassidy and Cornyn just this week

Murkowski and Collins have never been on his good side.

Tillis is mad. and out of f*cks.

And Mitch McConnell, for all the evil he has done in this world, hears “time’s winged chariot hurrying near…”

Asked about Stephen Colbert’s last show tonight, Donald Trump responded

“I’ll have a message at a later date.”

In two weeks?

DHS head Markwayne Mullen told travel executives that he’s serious about curbing international flights to U.S. airports in cities with “sanctuary” policies…Does this moron realize that most cities, even in red states, are blue?

What’s he going to do, try to make DFW the only international airport? Along with maybe Miami?

May I suggest he try this out a couple weeks before the midterms?

During House hearing DOT Secretary Duffy was asked, how he managed to work while on his road trip, at the same time DOT & Trump administration has stopped allowing remote work for other federal government employees?

Of course he dodged the question

As the media talks today about the 2024 DNC autopsy report something is missing.

The nonstop 2024 bothsides-ing, sanewashing of Donald Trump, and nonstop attacks on Joe Biden’s age… by hose same journalists..

Et tu, media?

Sean Duffy, justifying his corporate funded vacation: “Seeing your country, experiencing your country through window of a car is a beautiful thing. It actually unites America.”

More like it unites milllions of Americans in anger because they can’t afford gas for a road trip.

Trump rants at Coast Guard commencement on being a “hot” country, while attacking others & musing about 3rd term.

Fox News headline “HAPPENING NOW: Trump recognizes parents, families in speech at Coast Guard Academy: ‘Thank you'”

And we wonder why Fox viewers still support him?

As “acting” AG, Todd Blanche can stay in his position indefinitely.

And who knew the formerly respected Federal prosecutor might actually be worse than Pam Bondi?

As Trump keeps saying that the Iran war will be over “pretty soon.”

Wishing he’d told CBS to end the Late Show with Stephen Colbert “pretty soon.”

We’d be watching Colbert with our grandchildren

Bruce Springsteen to Stephen Colbert “You’re the 1st guy in America to lose a show because the President can’t take a joke” And because Larry & David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.”

Then he played “Streets of Minneapolis.”

Well played, Boss.

Written before the last Late Show.

(Also the last time I watch the CBS local news before the late show..)

Happening in threes

September 18, 2025

Two WNBA game threes, decided by a hotel of three points. (Aces 74-73 over Storm. Fever 87-85 over Dream.)

(Meanwhile despite sold out games and #ratings, many if not most losing players have to fly to Europe to play because of low WNBA salaries…)

SF Giants have literally scored 1 run total -on 1 hit per game- through the 9th inning of their last 2 games. And they somehow won one of those games.

Not tonight, they were 0-7 with RISP vs. Dodgers Forget “Nothing like it.” Team motto should be “One hit away.”

Meanwhile, who knew that the Indiana Fever, even without Caitlin Clark, have become a pretty darn good WNBA team?

I love sports.

How many NBA teams passed on Becky Hammon because they didn’t think she was head coaching material?

@LVAces

As RFK Jr’s panel now recommends children don’t get MMR II vaccines,

Sen. Bill Cassidy has now invited HHS Secretary to testify before the Senate Health committee. “Because Trump called for radical transparency….”

If Cassidy only had had a vote at RFK Jr’s confirmation…

(And if he only had a vote now in the Senate.)

Could any reporter ask any GOP member of Congress if they would feel okay with a future Democratic president firing Greg Gutfeld because he/she didn’t like what Greg says on his show?

Asking for a country.

There’s a reason it’s the FIRST amendment.

3 officers murdered in an ambush responding to a domestic violence call in Pennsylvania.

2 others shot & labrador retriever killed. Not a word from Trump.

That’s how we know killer was young white male US citizen. Cody Becker, Mark Baker, Isaiah Emenheiser #sayTHEIRnames

I am so old I remember when the way to get a television show off the air was enough Americans changing the channel to have the ratings go down.

Is it possible what really upset Trump was Kimmel mocking response to being asked how he was holding up after death of his friend Charlie Kirk?

“I think very well & btw, see all the trucks, they just started on the new ballroom…

Kimmel “He’s in the 4th state of grief – construction.”

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” is mob speak.

‘On Sept 30, the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) fee for tourist and other visitorsvisa waiver countries increases from $21 to $40. $21 included $17 for travel promotion.

New fee has $10 for ESTA system operations + $13 levy for US Treasury General Fund(!!?) Is Trump TRYING to kill tourism?

(And where’s that $13 for the General Fund going?”)

Hearing GOP Senator Todd Young honoring 100 yr-old vet: “I would do anything for my country.”

It’s not that today’s GOP wouldn’t do ANYTHING for their country. They won’t even vote to release Epstein files because they’d rather protect pedophiles. Maybe one in particular.

Stephen Colbert commenting on British reports that despite Windsor Castle using fine Egyptian cotton, Trump had his own bed linen shipped in from the US. “That’s not surprising to me. Always suspected that Donald sheets his own bed.”

Stephen Colbert “Welcome to the “Emmy-winning Late Show. We should have gotten canceled years ago…” Speaking of Emmys. Donald Trump doesn’t have one.” Is Donald going to try to cancel the Emmys now too?

Trump actually said yesterday “he’s 1st American president to ever visit Windsor Castle.” Uh.

Actually the fourth. But tell us again how Joe Biden was old.

How many times did late night talk show hosts make fun of Joe Biden? How many of them did he have fired? Asking for a country that still has a Constitution with the First Amendment.

So many claim to support free speech. But Molly Ivins was a true free speech warrior

In 2003, on when Texas declared MLK Day a holiday: “And the Klan announced that it was coming to Austin to have a big march and a rally to protest this terrible thing. Now, it’s always awful, it’s always a real pain in the butt when the Kluckers come to march. It upsets the black citizens, it upsets the Jewish citizens. Skinhead kids turn out to cheer for them, people get in fist fights on the sidewalk, and everybody’s mad at everybody for a good six months. And it is one’s bounded duty as a good American citizen, as a civil libertarian, a believer in the constitution and the principle of free speech, to stand up for the right of these blue-bellied nincompoops to spew whatever vicious dribble they want to. It says so right there in the first amendment. And I will tell you that this is a stand that will make you about as popular as a whore trying to get in to the SMU School of Theology…..”
