RIP Fay Vincent. Was he the last MLB commissioner?

Jimmy Butler has (reportedly) said he would not sign an extension if he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. Which might be the best news Warriors fans have had all year.

(Who wouldn’t want a complete spoiled brat who’s gotten his own team to suspend him three times this year already?

Dallas Mavericks inexplicably traded their 25 year old superstar Luka Doncic.

Your reminder, the current majority Mavs owner, Miriam Adelson, is one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors, almost in Elon Musk’s league. She was seated behind Bill Clinton at the inaugural.

Happiest person in Dallas about the Doncic trade has to be Jerry Jones. For at least a little while he won’t be the most hated owner in Texas.

“Canada has been very abusive of the United States for many years.” So who had trying to start a war with our neighbor to the north on their Trump batsh*t bingo list?

After illegally installing two SCOTUS judges & keeping Trump from being convicted on his second impeachment trial, Mitch McConnell now is speaking out against Donald. If he wants to do anything useful he should get GOP colleague or two to vote against Kash Patel. For starters.

I like her style.

Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s former finance minister & Liberal party possible future Prime Minister, has proposed slapping 100% tariffs on select American goods, including Teslas.

On United flight approaching SFO today, suddenly started ascending again. Pilot said Air Traffic Control decided we didn’t have enough “separation” between us & plane in front. Circled & landed w/o incident about 15 min later. Thinking a lot of nervous ATC folks these days.

–

Trump’s tariffs are direct violation of trade deal HE signed with Canada and Mexico. Guess we shouldn’t be shocked. As a businessman who broke most promises he made in private sector & regularly refused to pay contractors, Trump is turning USA into one of his failed businesses.

–

As Canada releases their first tariff list, it starts out “The list includes products such as orange juice,..” Let’s see, what state produces almost ALL US orange juice.. And it only means about $7 billion a year to the Florida economy.

FAFO

Donald Trump has now started a war of words with the Wall Street Journal… calling the newspaper ‘always wrong.”

A phrase I don’t write very often -sounds like the WSJ editorial board nailed it.

Drugs may be an excuse since Mr Trump has made clear he likes tariffs for their own sake.”

WTAF? Meghan McCain says “To any Senator who votes against Tulsi Gabbard for DNI that “I will make it my personal mission to help campaign and fundraise against you in your next election.” So a generous view of this is that her father taught her well about reverse psychology.
