Coming up Aces

September 10, 2025


The Las Vegas Aces just activated Cheyenne Parker-Tyus. She is eligible for the last two games of the season and the postseason. Cheyenne missed the 1st 42 games of WNBA season because she gave birth to a son on July 1 . Weaker sex my ass.


In a divided country sometimes doesn’t seem like there’s anything Democrat and Republicans agree on. Except that the San Francisco 49ers made the right move by waiving Jake Moody.

–

Not sure what the MLB record is for stumbling into the playoffs.

But seeming like the New York Mets are looking to break it…

—

JD Vance “Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump”?

Mr. “grab them by the p**sy?” Mr. “I moved on her like a b*tch?” Mr. “If she wasn’t my daughter maybe I’d be dating her?” Since you asked, yes, it sounds EXACTLY like him.

–

This actually did age well.

The birthday book certainly puts a new possible spin on Putin’s reputed Trump “pee tapes.”

–

SCOTUS at least temporarily is allowing ICE to question & detain people based on factors like a person’s ethnicity or them speaking Spanish. FIFA, if you’re listening, not too late to move the World Cup and avoid a disaster.

Hey Fox New viewers, especially women They won’t show you this, but this is how your leader Trump feels about women.

·”Things that take place in the home they call crime….If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime.”

As Trump got a West Point group to cancel an award for Tom Hanks, who has done serious work on behalf of veterans, think it’s time for the Oscars to give Tom a lifetime achievement award. Not only would it be the right thing but #RATINGS

–

Donald pretended to be “brave” to meet his cabinet at a DC restaurant Trump doesn’t have the cojones to meet with Epstein victims.

–

The past, present & future of MAGA.

1. There’s no Epstein birthday card

2. Trump didn’t sign the birthday card.

3. The signature is a forgery

4. So what if he signed the card.

5. The girls were asking for it.

6. The girls should be punished for lying about Dear Leader. #Cult

–


So if he lied about signing a birthday card what else has he lied about?

–

Watching Trump use government to attack all his perceived enemies, increasingly wondering, are GOP members of Congress just political cowards

Or have Donald’s minions dug up dirt on most of them?

–

So some GOP politicians are claiming that a fraudster knew in 2003 – back when Trump was a Democrat- that Jeffrey Epstein would be convicted of horrific sex crimes & Donald would become a Republican President. And so they faked Trump’s signature? Two words Yeah. Right.

–

If he’s innocent, why didn’t Trump just say the Epstein birthday card was “locker room banter?”

–

John Thune and John Cornyn are wringing his hands over some of Trump’s nominees “having had to put their lives on hold” because of what he calls a Democratic blockade.

Funny, I missed GOP outrage when Tuberville blocked over 450 (!) military appointments.

–

ICYMI.

GOP/MAGA is fine with Russia bombing Ukraine into rubble; killing civillian women and children on a daily basis.

They are good with deporting Ukrainian refugees who may be killed when they return.

But when a Ukranian woman is murdered here, they profess outrage.

Diversions

September 4, 2025

Yeah, there are more important things, but one advantage of being a sports fan is that as scary as the world can be, you can still take pleasure in small things. Like the Dodgers being swept by the Pirates.

–

And the Dallas Cowboys losing…

–

Some talk about how the brawl in Colorado this week really bonded the SF Giants as a team. Believe it but as a woman sports fan have to laugh. Overgeneralization perhaps but women often bond over great conversation, men bond fighting together….

–

But okay SF Giants at a 4.6% chance of the postseason are now the 7th place team with the biggest chance to end up as the final wild card.


Sports broadcaster Kate Scott has been assigned to call Vikings-Steelers on Sept. 28 for Westwood One, the official network audio broadcast partner of the NFL. She will become the first female play-by-play announcer to call an NFL game.

Remember her from KNBR years ago. You go girl.

–

Exactly ONE year ago today. Sept 4, 2024. What a difference a year makes. Trump teases releasing Epstein client list if elected: ‘I’d certainly take a look at it’

–

It’s actually pretty simple. And need to keep saying this

If the Epstein Files didn’t have Trump’s name in them then Velveeta Voldemort would have them released and read nightly on Fox News to prove the accusations are a Democratic hoax.

–

New Ohio Senator Jon Husted praising Trump & attacking DC as having been crime-ridden. Cleveland is regularly on list of most dangerous cities in the US.

So why aren’t he & Gov. DeWine asking for National Guard in Ohio? Ohio, please fix your error & bring back Sherrod Brown.

–

On different note, bipartisan coalition who have introduced legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress is something.

One of most unusual groups of legislators to ever share a dias: Led by RI Dem Seth Magazine & TX GOP Chip Roy. Including Anna Paulina Luna & AOC.

–

Surprise, Fox News did not covering the Epstein victims’ news conference.

–

Am all for severe penalties for drug dealers.. But Fox headline “Jaw-dropping footage shows moment U.S. missile vaporizes Venezuela ‘drug boat’ as Trump reveals 11 Tren de Aragua gang members were killed.” Besides due process issues do we trust Trump as to who IS a gang member?

–

Legislation passed on bipartisan basis in Congress to give gold medals to police officers who protected US Capitol on Jan. 6. 140 officers were injured, 15 hospitalized.

Where are GOP members of Congress who KNOW pardons were wrong and compensation for rioters is much worse?

–

So a trans person shoots kids in school and GOP wants to take guns away from all trans people.

An anti-vaxxer tries to shoot employees at CDC building and kills a police officer. By that logic shouldn’t we take guns away from all anti-vaxxers? For starters.

–

Lawrence O’Donnell points out something not getting enough attention: Today in RFK Jr’s hearing. Idaho GOP Senator Mike Crapo refused to put RFK Jr under oath… As if perjury would have stopped him, but still…

–

Trump administration today said it will drop Biden plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation for airline caused flight delays. American, Delta and United all donated $1 million to Donald’s inaugural.

Chaos up, corruption up, costs up.

–

Has Donald even tried to fabricate an excuse why voting to release the Epstein Files would be a “hostile act?”

–

Many countries have the death penalty for drug smugglers. Singapore and Indonesia for examples. So by Trump logic, if Americans travel to either country and their government suspects them of drug trafficking they can just shoot them?

–


As Trump increasingly is using government to go after all his perceived enemies now wondering.. Are some of these members of Congress genuflecting before him because he has threatened to audit their taxes, financial records, mortgage records, etc and/or those of their families?

So the man who begs daily for a Nobel Peace Prize is renaming the Pentagon the Department of War… Okay then…

Good, bad, and really ugly

September 2, 2025

Biil Belichick’s UNC Tar Heels were beaten by TCU 48-14

“We’re better than what we were tonight… ” Belichick said. So he thinks his team should have only lost by two touchdowns?

–

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Justin Verlander threw 121 pitches, including 10 strikeouts, leaving with a 7-0 lead, after h five innings, which got him career win 265. As I’ve said before, at 42 , Justin remains one of the most competitive people alive.

–

Wonder if he’d considering trying becoming a closer at 43?

–

Senator Bill Cassidy, MD, is countering arguments on Twitter against giving the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth. While I appreciate effort he is making, he has the Twitter reach (fewer than 100,000 followers) of tens of thousands of educated people. And uneducated people. But he had an actual VOTE on RFK Jr.

–

WTF? NY Times reports than Jan. 6 rioters now want COMPENSATION for their prosecutions. With a panel perhaps overseen by Jeanine Pirro!. So uh, how many of the over 140 officers injured on that date will be allowed to testify? Brian Sicknick would if he could.

–

Perhaps yet ANOTHER distraction from Epstein files But Donald, or a staffer writing for him, has announced that Rudy Giuliani, “will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor.” Your reminder that Giuliani has been permanently disbarred.


Anyone need more reason to despise RFK Jr? His 1st wife committed suicide, after finding journal of his adulteries. Her family wanted Mary buried near their home, RFK Jr won court case against them to bury her in Kennedy compound. Then had her MOVED further away from the main family.

https://www.politico.com/story/2012/07/rfk-jr-moved-wifes-grave-078430

–

NY Times headline: “Historians See Autocratic Playbook in Trump’s Attacks on Science” What was their first clue?

–

I’m so old I remember when Republicans wanted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to step down just because he wasn’t forthcoming about being in the hospital for treatment.

SF Giants had an up and down August.

Could have used a lefthanded hitter with 7 home runs and 13 RBI this month slugging .630.

The player with those states? Mike Yastrzemski

–

As former Yankee  Mark Teixeira runs for Congress, and many in DC realize Democrats thus might not win a Congressional baseball game for the foreseeable future…dear Gabe Kapler. You are a Democrat, maybe it’s time to give up on the coaching side for a while and run for office.

–

–
For a while there we were wondering…. Did Gavin’s tweets kill him?

–

And right on cue after Donald wasn’t seen in public for four days, Fox News jumps in with the headline “Bill Clinton’s health in question after he is seen with possible medical device…”

–

If he IS having a complicated medical procedure, your reminder, his administration wants to cut funding, for medical research AND take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0. Based on his record, Senators of both parties thought he would be one of Trump’s more reasonable choices. So some made an excusable mistake.

But based on HIS record Senators of both parties knew RFK Jr. was dangerously insane. No excuses.

–

Here’s four Republican Senators up for re-election who voted to confirm Robert Kennedy for HHS Secretary

Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, John Husted, Dan Sullivan,

Husted, from Ohio, was appointed to take Sherrod Brown’s place. Ohio, you can correct this error by putting Sherrod back in the Senate

–

Just maybe it wasn’t a good idea to put a man who had part of his brain eaten by a worm in charge of our nation’s healthcare system.

–

Hey media, if you’re too scared or can’t get access to Donald, what about asking every GOP Senator when they return in September if they and their children are vaccinated. And for those under 65, ask particularly about COVID

–


As a friend said “We all have to make compromises in life. But we all have a line. Where is Marco Rubio’s line?”

Thinking like in Mean Girls “The limit does not exist.”

–

Trump just had DOT cancel $679 Million for offshore wind projects . It’s ALL retribution. In 2012, Trump went to Scotland in hopes of stopping wind turbines near his Aderdeen golf course “His opposition has become govt policy in world’s biggest economy.”

Hope springs eternal?

August 29, 2025

On a lighter note, not too many lighter notes lately, the SF Giants have now won 5 in a row and have a 1.2% chance of making the post season… so you’re saying there’s a chance.

–

With two home runs yesterday shouldn’t Willy Adames throw post-game Gatorade on himself?

–

Former MLB player Mark Teixeira is running for Congress and pledges “to work with Trump to “end radical work indoctrination” and secure the border. Teixeira’s grandfather emigrated from Guyana. Donald probably wouldn’t have let him in.

–

As RFK Jr continues his efforts to destroy the US healthcare system and Republicans stand idly by… I know most of them are old white men, but you’d think their kids and grandkids might matter to them.


Too soon to know for sure but seems like this latest mass shooter may have been posting his plans online- and the FBI was too busy going after Trump enemies to pay attention.

–

And whatever the Minneapolis shooter’s motive turns out to be, we know he was a deeply disturbed individual. And he had no problem getting at least three guns. Only in America.

Not much discussed w/ so much other insanity is Trump apparently has at least 1 cult member going through mortgage applications (& presumably other financial records) or people he doesn’t like in hope of finding something he can call a crime. Don’t think it can’t happen to you?

–

All you need to know about today’s GOP: they still haven’t hung the commemorative plaque to honor police who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, a plaque mandated by Congress on a bipartisan basis in 2022. But they are fine with full military honors for Ashli Babbitt.

–

I’m sure Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy MD has done a lot of good in his medical career. But alas the single biggest thing Cassidy has done to affect our health in the USA is to cast the deciding vote for RFK Jr as HHS Secretary. And many people will die because of that.

–

Same MAGA screaming about “mental health” not guns being the problem had no problem with major Trump cuts to mental health programs. Including a $1 BILLION cut in funding for school mental health

–

Bad enough Trump fires everyone Biden or another Democrat appointed for not being crazy enough. And Donald’s is going after appointees from 1st term for not being crazy enough. But now his administration is firing their own RECENT appointees for not being crazy enough?

IYKYK

It’s August 27, Six teams in the NL are such locks for the postseason that only ONE other team – the Cincinnati Reds at 4% – has even a 1% chance of making the playoffs

The teams? Phllies, Mets, Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Padres.

All but the Brewers in the top 10 payrolls in baseball

  1. New York Mets, $323,099,999
  2. Los Angeles Dodgers, $321,287,291
  3. New York Yankees, $293,488,972
  4. Philadelphia Phillies, $284,210,820
  5. Toronto Blue Jays, $239,642,532

  9. San Diego Padres,  208,909,333
  10. Chicago Cubs, $196,288,250

–

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

Slouching towards September…

August 21, 2025

Juan Soto says he believers the Mets are “100%” a playoff team.

He’s probably right. Because the NL currently has only SEVEN teams over .500

–

Stanford plays Hawaii on Saturday in both teams’ college football opener.

The game is scheduled for 130p Hawaii Standard Time, 730p on the East Coast. Might be one of the few game East Coast Cardinal fans might be able to stay up late enough to see. (Many games will start in California at 730p-8p)

–

Serious point. Many MLB players are black or Latino. In many cases English is not their first language. Washington Nationals have about 6 weeks of home games left in DC.

Will players soon be told to stay home/in hotel rooms except for games, rather than risk being detained/ attacked by ICE on the street?

–

Gavin Newsom, talking about how Donald is creating a private army -$175 billion in bill for ICE, homeland security…

“He’s trying to rig elections, set up conditions to claim elections not won fair & square. Open your eyes to what is going on in United States of America in 2025.'”

Something that isn’t reported on enough. Unlike previous Presidents of both parties, Velveeta Voldemort doesn’t even go out to dinner in DC now that his hotel is closed.

–


Listening to Trump and his minions throwing out dishonest statistics on a regular basis, have to wonder how they decide on the numbers? Does Velveeta Voldemort throw ketchup bottles at a dart board?

–

GOP claimed to hate deficits, until they could increase them w/ billionaire tax cut.

GOP demanded Epstein files, untll Trump was named in them.

GOP supported Texas insane gerrymandering, until California retaliated with same tactics.

Almost as if GOP has no real principles.

–

But really, has a single Republican explained why they support Texas gerrymandering redistricting but not California’s retaliating? I’ll wait.

–

It’s official. California’s special election is ON for November 4th. The People of California will be able to cast their vote for a Congressional map.

–
California is letting our citizens decide. Texas doesn’t trust their citizens.

–

First it’s Bed Bath and Beyond, how long untll K-Mart says they won’t open new stores in California either?

–

Actual Donald quote from today

We are going to be regrassing your parks, new sprinklers systems. It will look like Trump national golf club.  Grass has a life. You know that? Grass has a life. We have a life, and grass has a life. The grass here died about 40 years ago

GOP now pushing “a driver who cannot sufficiently read or speak English is unqualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in America.” But one can be president?!!

–

Is there ANYTHING Trump won’t do to distract from the fact that his name is in the Epstein files?

Slow down..

August 21, 2025

Meanwhile in Washington DC, NY Met (sigh) Tyler Rogers version of an immaculate inning.

Six pitches, all strikes, 83-86 MPH except for one 74 MPH slider. Three outs.

Don’t tell ICE, thinking most MLB hitters would say him being that effective throwing junk should be illegal.

–

SI.Com actually has this headline “College Football Preseason Bowl Projections.”

And if you care, you just might have too much time on your hands.

–

WTAF? Jeanine Pirro has announced she that Washington DC will no longer consider it a felony for civilians to carry shotguns and rifles in the city.

Allowing average people to carry guns in DC in a hot humid summer, when the city is full of National Guard… What could possibly go wrong.

(FWIW, many believe D.C.’s strict gun laws may have deterred some January 6 rioters from bringing firearms to the Capitol that day,

Jack White of “”Seven Nation Army” (yes, I don’t know their music either) called Trump’s Oval Office “gaudy” & “vulgar,” Trump Communication director Steven Cheung:

“Jack White is washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media; He has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.” Doesn’t that describe most PRO Trump celebrities?

–


Your reminder that for all Velveeta Voldemort and ICE Barbie claim that immigrants are freeloading off of hard working Americans, most of ICE arrests are of people when they are at WORK!!

–

Today’s effort for Trump to distract from skyrocketing inflation & Epstein files is trying to get rid of exhibits about slavery at Smithsonian. But he doesn’t have authority over Smithsonian. Congress does. Can’t wait to see GOP members of Congress defend slavery.

–

Dana Bash on CNN gives GOP Rep Tim Burchett platform to spout lies about DC being a cesspool… And probably won’t get much attention but Burchett used his time also to claim government was wrong about Lee Harvey Oswald being the only person who shot JFK in Dallas. It’s a cult.

–

Remember when Trump was trying to suppress COVID cases;”I like the numbers being where they are?” And when he fired BLS leader for numbers he didn’t like?

Now he claims Democratic cities lying about decreasing crime rates. Every accusation is a confession. #CookingTheBooks

–

With all the across the board inflation right now, not getting major headlines how bad beef prices are. Not like Americans like their steaks or hamburgers…

–

Did not have radioactive Walmart shrimp on my bingo card….

–

Louisiana, Tennessee & Ohio, all sending National Guard troops to DC. New Orleans, Memphis & Cleveland are regularly listed in most dangerous cities in US. Sure would be nice if GOP Governors actually cared less about pleasing Trump & more about protecting their OWN residents.

–

Every day there’s another outrageous stunt from Velveeta Voldemort… All of them have one thing in common. Donald is trying to distract us from the Epstein files. What’s he going to try tomorrow?

Good and bad sports:

August 17, 2025

After the Little League Classic today in Williamsport the Seattle Mariners and NY Mets followed the Little League tradition and had a handshake line.

But did they all get juice boxes and cookies?

–

MLB added extra wildcards to claim it keeps more teams feeling like they have postseason chance late into season.

As of Aug 17, top 6 teams in each league are so far ahead that only 1 NL team (Reds) & 3 AL teams (Royals, Guardians, Rangers) have even 10% chance of being wild cards.

–

The only Trump 2028 I want to see is Velveeta Voldemort being sentenced to 20 to 28 years…

–

Trump actually posted “President Zelenskky of Ukraine can end the war immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.” Putin and Russia started this war This is the political equivalent of Donald telling Zelenskyy “if rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it.”

–


After his Friday fiasco honoring Vladimir Putin can we nominate Donald Trump for the Noble Piece of Sh*t prize? The award could be presented at Four Seasons Landscaping.

–

How bad did the meeting with Putin go for Trump? Top headline on Fox News website tonight (no joke) “Former FBI boss Comey reveals Taylor Swift obsession in bizarre video attacking Trump” WTF?

–

California Democratic voter here.

Admittedly there are times I have found Gavin Newsom irritating in the extreme. But some of the traits that have driven me crazy over the years are so perfect for this moment.

–

When you hear hoofprints think horses not zebras And the explanation, that Donald was shaken because of something Vlad showed or told him Friday, especially with the rumours Putin has had something on Trump for years, is the simplest.

–

Fox News has spent weeks trying to convince us that a single late night brawl on a hot July night outside a nightclub was emblematic of a bigger problem in Cincinnati. So why aren’t they furious that Gov. Mike DeWine took OHIO National Guard troops and sent them… to Washington DC?!

–

Meanwhile, just outside DC, while so many genuflect, Mary Chapin Carpenter at Wolf Trap has changed her old lyric from wonderful “Stones in the Road” about children in the late 60s selling out as adults.

From “we doctor the receipt” to “And we don’t bow to kings.” Never liked her more.

–

But remember, every story written or broadcast about the absurdity of the National Guard and increased ICE action in Washington DC is a story not written or broadcast about the Epstein files.

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.”

Victories come in all sighs

August 13, 2025

Shohei Ohtani hit into a triple play and the Los Angeles Dodgers lost 7-6 to the Los Angeles Angels

And that’s probably the best headline SF Giants fans can hope for these days.

–

All of this insanity – Firing competent people Meeting with Putin on US soil. Putting police on the streets of Washington DC makes sense if you remember one thing

#TrumpisontheEpsteinList

–

Apparently Trump plans to pause monthly jobs reports. But don’t worry, he will start them up “in two weeks.”

–

This line from Karoline Leavitt : “The president is very honored and looks forward to hosting President Putin on American soil.” “Honored?” Uh, Putin is BANNED from visiting 125 countries.

–

So Kim Davis, who is trying to get SCOTUS to overturn gay marriage, has been married four times with four children by three different men. A real poster child for the sanctity of marriage.

–

Trump increasingly relying on lies & perception to become authoritarian. Don Delillo nailed it in “White Noise”

“For most people there are only two places in the world. Where they live and their TV set.” And when that TV set (or streaming equivalent) is tuned to Fox News…

As a California voter who hasn’t always supported our Governor, I admit until recently I was not familiar with Gavin Newsom’s troll game!

One of today’s tweets:

FINAL WARNING DONALD TRUMP — MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT WARNING IN HISTORY! STOP CHEATING OR CALIFORNIA WILL REDRAW THE MAPS. AND GUESS WHO WILL ANNOUNCE IT THIS WEEK? GAVIN NEWSOM (MANY SAY THE MOST LOVED & HANDSOME GOVERNOR) AND A VERY POWERFUL TEAM. DON’T MAKE US DO IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

–

Who says there’s no good news these days.

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.

Blazing speed

July 31, 2025

Mets are getting most unappreciated reliever in baseball in Tyler Rogers.. Just saying.

Only silver lining as a sad SF Giants fan is maybe we’ll get to see him blow away a Dodgers star in the post season wth 75 MPH heat

–

LA Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani left his start today in Cincinnati in the 4th inning with cramping he blamed on heat (Temperature at first pitch was 90 degrees, with w/heat index near 100.) He hopes to make his next start.

Don’t suppose we can dream that billionaires might start caring about climate change if it starts injuring their half billion dollar investments.

–

–

Rubio defends his master’s sanctions (revoked visa, freezing US assets) on Brazilian judge because Donald doesn’t like him prosecuting his buddy.

“Let this be warning to those who would trample on fundamental rights of their countrymen; judicial robes cannot protect you.” So other countries can go after US judges now? Okay then.

–

If you’re anti-abortion but also anti-USAID, aid to starving children in Gaza, and in favor of cutting SNAP and school lunch, then maybe it’s time to drop the “pro-life” lie.

–

If the Epstein Files exonerated Donald, Fox News would be reading them on air 24-7.

–

Not that Jerome Powell is in the troll business but how much would I love to hear him say he’ll consider lowering interest rates “in two weeks.”

–

The new “Rose garden” is the literal personification of “pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

One Donald’s Stepford ladies must have damaged an expensive heel in the grass… The next Democratic President is going to have so much work to do to repair the White House, let alone our democracy.

—

Amy Klobuchar is talking about Trump’s EO to impose 50% tariffs on Brazil.

Why? (And Donald admits it! Because Brazil is prosecuting their ex-President Bolsonaro for trying to overturn his election loss.

So Americans pay more because Trump is mad his buddy is facing justice.

Media PAY ATTENTION.-


Happy to have ban on Congressional Stock trading.

But while GOP is chortling over naming it the Pelosi Act, per Money magazine top 2 SENATE traders in 2024…

Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., 202 trades – $5,531,500.

Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., 71 trades- $4,407,000

–

Good news that the evacuations went smoothly and the tsunami turned out not to be really damaging in Hawaii and the US West Coast

Bad news may be that many Americans may take the warning less seriously next time.

Bone headed…

July 30, 2025

Meanwhile, in nonpolitical outrage department, Heliot Ramos, who was on 2nd & ran into an out at 3rd at what would have been infield single Sunday for Adames, just got himself picked off 2nd because he forgot infield fly rule. My son’s little league coach benched kids for that.

–

The SF Giants are now on a five game losing streak. Although yesterday they did get three hits with runners in scoring position (None today.) The small mercies are getting smaller.

–

Stephen Colbert quoting Eric Trump on his designing his dad’s newest Scottish golf course..


“We had an unlimited budget and we exceeded it..”

(yes, Eric said it)

–

Sheldon Whitehouse, telling GOP Senators how much they will regret Emil Bove vote. Bove’s been condemned by Dems & GOPs who know him. Tells story of woman who rescued a sick snake only to have him fatally bite her. “You knew when you picked me up I was a snake. It’s my nature.”

–

Trump’s Office of Personnel Management new memo says “during a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the nonadherent should rethink his religious beliefs.”

Does this apply to Mormons, Muslims, and Wiccans?


Had a freshman roommate who was Mormon. Many nice qualities but she was against not just alcohol but coffee and tea. Does this mean Mormon government employees can “politely” criticize their coworkers at the coffee machine and on their way to happy hours? For starters.-

–

Meanwhile, Oklahoma Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walker, he who wants the bible taught in all public schools, was allegedly caught playing porn on his screen during a school board meeting. He now says board members who saw the pictures of naked women on his screen lying and that Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt might have told them to lie.

As my late great stepmother used to say “We’re not perfect but they’re nuts.”

–

Not that I have ANY sympathy for Lindsey Graham

But now he’s going to be primaried for his South Carolina US Senate seat by Paul Dans, an architect of Project 2025. Graham may have been a very good boy for Donald, but as usual, it wasn’t good enough.

–

Whatever he says… 15% tariffs on top of the US dollar falling about 10% again the Euro since Donald took over still means much higher prices for Americans.

(There’s a reason GOP hates math, they are so bad at it.)

–

There was immediate pushback when Trump nominated Emil Bove to be a judge, and a whistle blower first came forward in June. Over 900 former DOJ employees wrote a letter against him.

Chuck Grassley, who will turn 92 in September, is pretending the testimony against Emil Bove is new. Is he lying, or forgetful?

–

Meanwhile retiring Senator Thom Tillis had said vote against a nominee if there was credible evidence but he hadn’t seen any against Bove. WTF?

Even Stevie Wonder could see credible evidence against Bove.

–

THREE whistleblowers now speaking out about Bove.

So far. What’s that line? If one person calls you an ass, ignore them. If two call you an ass, start looking for tracks. If three call you an ass, put on a harness.

–

Donald actually posted a warning tonight about the potential tsunami hitting Hawaii and the west coast…

Well, it’s a good thing his and Musk’s DOGE cuts didn’t really affect NOAA and the NWS team who could help. Oh wait, never mind.

–

Chuck Schumer’s finally quoted Amy Klobuchar’s simple message on the Senate floor. “Chaos up, corruption up, costs up.” Media keeps chasing latest fool’s gold shiny object Donald throws out. But chaos, corruption & ESPECIALLY costs are what really matter to Americans.

At long last

July 24, 2025

In non-political news, a miracle has occurred.

Justin Verlander has won a game in an SF Giants uniform.

–

Oddly enough, in May 2023 Verlander became the 21st pitcher in MLB history to win games against EVERY major league baseball team. Wonder what the odds were you could get that it would take 16 starts to get his first win for the SF Giants.

–

Probably about the same odds you could get that on July 24 the best records in MLB would belong to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Milwaukee Brewers.

–

Whatever Ghislaine Maxwell is bribed or threatened into saying now, remember, one of many reasons she is in prison is a conviction for perjury.

–

MAGA Mike Johnson on Ghislaine Maxwell. She’s “person who’s been sentenced to many years in prison for terrible, unspeakable, conspiratorial acts against innocent young people. She can’t be trusted to provide accurate testimony.”

Like when she says Trump is innocent to get pardon?

Cory Booker on Senate Floor yesterday reporting WSJ reported Donald Trump was told in May his name is in Epstein files. And that Emil Bove may have been involved in covering it up.

Some of these GOP Senators have daughters & granddaughters.. How do they sleep?

–

Seriously many MAGA were happy to demonize all trans kids to follow Dear Leader in his outrage over a small numberof trans athletes competing in sporting events – because “we have to protect girls.”

But when it comes to young girls being raped and Donald possibly being involved. Move along nothing to see here… not even “thoughts and prayers” for the victims

–

As Russia gains ground on Ukraine, Senate planned July vote on sanctions, w/ 83 Senators on board on a bipartisan basis.

But now GOP stepping back because Velveeta Voldemort says he will impose tariffs if Putin doesn’t agree to a cease fire…in 50 days!

Fools or complicit?

–

Latest Trump fundraising lie to deflect from Epstein files.

That Obama committed “the crime of the century” – Wait, I thought Biden’s autopen was the “crime of the century?” This is so confusing

–

-NY Times headline

“F.C.C. Approves Skydance’s $8 Billion Merger With Paramount

The agency said the deal was approved after assurances that the new company would commit to unbiased journalism.”

Fixed it for them.

“And would fire Stephen Colbert.”

–

So today’s question:

All these Republican Senators voting for things and nominees they KNOW are wrong.

Are they truly believers in a cult, or are they just too scared/craven to do the right thing? Asking for a country?

–

No wonder MAGA politicians are rushing to post tributes to Hulk Hogan. They don’t have many real celebrities on their side and they just lost one

–

Dana Carvey regularly spoofed George H.W. Bush on SNL.

And Bush actually invited him to the White House.

Wasn’t a fan of George H.W’s policies. But..

I miss having a President with a sense of humor.

Numbers and other games.

July 23, 2025

No detail he won’t lie about? (while bragging about attending in 2024.)

“If you took an Alabama-LSU football game that holds 128,000 people… if you took that & doubled it, that’s what used to flow into our country on a daily basis.” Alabama-LSU game, a sellout, held 102,283.

–

SF Giants have two starting pitchers on the All-Star team and Landen Roupp turns in the ace performance they desperately needed. Just like we all expected.

–

Imagine your job required you to do something tough but necessary & instead of doing it you just went on vacation weeks early without finishing your other work.

That’s what MAGA Mike Johnson has done with the House because he doesn’t want a vote to release the Epstein files.

–

Minnesota State Senator Bruce Anderson, 75, passed away suddenly

Didn’t know him but among those posting thoughtful condolences, Gov. Tim Walz, Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan, Senator Amy Klobuchar. Anderson was a Republican.

Miss the days when bipartisan kindness wasn’t surprising.

–

One of today’s “breaking news” “Former lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, Roy Black has died.

Now, Black was 80. But I can’t be the only one whose first reaction was “did he fall out of a window?

–

As a Democrat, I’ve sadly accepted that Bill Clinton, who I’ve supporteds since 1991, could be on Epstein’s list. Not quite getting all these GOP who are willing to do ANYTHING not to release list to protect Donald Trump. Beginning to wonder how many are protecting themselves?

–

President Obamas office sums it up.

“Nothing in document issued last week undercuts conclusion Russia worked to influence 2016 presidential election but didn’t successfully manipulate any votes. Findings affirmed in 2020 report by bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Chair Marco Rubio”

–

Would any reporter dare to ask Marco Rubio about that report?

–

George H.W. Bush invited SNL’s Dana Carvey “wouldn’t be prudent” to perform his impersonation at the White House.

Donald Trump got Stephen Colbert fired. Petty scared little man.

Donald talking about trade and foreign visits: “I’ve been invited by a lot of people.” And he’ll tell us who in about two weeks?

–

Trump told Mike Johnson to send House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Epstein files. But he wants Senate in session in August to confirm his judges. So to save Senate vacations, we just need bipartisan resolution to release Epstein files. Problem solved.

–

Amy Klobuchar gets it: With Lawrence O’Donnell tonight as she did with Jake Tapper Amy talks about corruption with Trump & Epstein files. But pivots to broken promises on prices. Inflation is bad & getting worse, ACA premiums go up this year. Chaos, corruption & COSTS all up.

You say it’s your birthday…

July 18, 2025

MLB on July 16

“There are no games scheduled today”

Montreal Expos twitter account “How you feel today is how we’ve felt for the last 7,591 days”

–

From a social media friend from London today:

It’s less what he said, it’s more that Donald cared enough about ANYONE to send a 50th birthday card.

Remember, he said he didn’t even have time to do anything for Melania other than dinner on Air Force One.

–

Wall Street Journal I owe you an apology, I was not familiar with your game….

(Seriously, might be a good time to support a newspaper with actual cojones by subscribing..)

–

Inflation rate jumped in June.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is pretending it’s good news and that prices are falling. Who you gonna believe, me or your lying bank account?

–


Random question. Donald he drinks Diet Coke, how would he know that Mexican Coca-Cola (which uses real sugar) is better?

–

Something else about the Rescissions act. If this is now precedent, means that if Democrats take the House and Senate next year, they can take back any money Trump makes GOP authorize spending for this year!

–

The Rescissions Act takes back money that Democrats and Republicans agreed to on a bipartisan basis. Republicans need 60 votes to pass their next budget. So why should GOP expect ANY cooperation in 2025 from Dems now that they are destroying the deal they agreed to last year?

–

One of the saddest things about 2025. We knew how evil Donald Trump was. We didn’t know how gutless Congressional Republicans are.

–

JD Vance badmouthed Disney as “woke” and “declaring war on America’s children.” But he took his kids to Disneyland. As JD cast the deciding vote to allow Trump’s efforts to defund PBS to proceed, will Vance now get his kids bootleg feeds of Sesame Street?

–

In 1543, Henry VIII made it a crime for most English people to read the Bible in English. The point was to avoid questioning of the King’s interpretation of Scripture, or indeed questioning of him period. Sound familiar with Donald cutting education & public broadcasting?

–

Asked a wise reporter decades ago why a politician – would be engaged in a coverup that no one believed and that was hurting him politically: He said, simple, if the truth is actually worse than he thinks people imagine it is.

If Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a “terrible Fed chair” can we fire the idiot who appointed him?”

This isn’t hard: Donald NEVER releases anything negative about his own health. He won’t even release the truth about his height and weight. Admitting an illness to distract from Epstein files must mean the files are very bad indeed.

July 15, 2025

Has Donald Trump announced yet that if he had only had time to go to Atlanta tonight he would have won the Home Run Derby?

–

ESPN rarely covers major league baseball

Today’s crazy weird split screen coverage of the Home Run Derby reminds serious baseball fans why it’s a good thing ESPN rarely covers Major L eague Bbaseball.

–


71% of the US GDP comes from Blue counties. No wonder today’s GOP hates math.

–

The markets didn’t even fall today on Trump’s newly announced potential tariffs. If you needed any more proof of the accuracy of TACO!!

–

Now Trump says he is putting 17% tariffs on Mexican tomatoes.

Although the US already needs to import 70% of tomatoes from Mexico. We can’t produce enough to meet our own demands.

This BEFORE Trump’s ICE started deporting as many farmworkers as possible.

–

How much would I have liked some reporter to ask Velveeta Voldemort Monday on camera in the Oval Office about Bastille Day.

–

50 days is Trump talk for “by then either Americans will have forgotten about Ukraine or Putin will have razed Ukraine to the ground.”

–

As Tom Homan says ICE agents are trained and “reasonable suspicion” is enough to detain someone, two questions. 1. How are they trained?

2. And who are these masked agents? Police officers, who face danger every day, do not wear mask.s

–

Something else about Vance’s Disney visit (wonder how much it cost taxpayers btw, with all the security.) In 2022, Vance called Disney ‘woke’ and accused them of ‘declaring war on America’s children’.

–

2 women fatally shot & state trooper injured by man with long criminal history & domestic violence restraining order against him. Fox News would be all over it. Except now deceased suspect was white American. So story has vanished.

Say THEIR names Beverly Gumm & Christina Combs

Don’t leave early…

July 9, 2025

One of the all-time calls. But hey, how often do you get to call a catcher hitting a walkoff inside the park home run

Last one was in 1926…

–

Apparently a Marco Rubio impostor is using AI voice to call high-level government officials. How did they know it was fake?

The imposter didn’t praise Trump every sixty seconds?

–

SCOTUS today overrode lower court orders freezing Trump’s massive federal workforce layoff plans.

If you think Donald’s approval rating is low NOW, wait until he lays off hundreds of thousands. Will affect not just them but businesses where they spend $$ & services they provide.

–

Actually today while workng watched most of Trump cabinet meeting ias background noise

Challenge ANYONE to watch Donald in action at these meetings & tell me he’s in his right mind.

Even Fox cut away as he ends by bragging about his White House decorating, finding trophies etc, “Sometimes I like frames better than the pictures.”

–

How many times in a year do we need to have “one in a lifetime” weather events before some people acknowledge that climate change is real?

–

Wonder if we could offer Donald Trump a Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for resigning?

–


Does Donald have some sort of a dart board in the basement where he throws darts to figure out his next tariff move?

–

Hurricane season has barely gotten started. So will Trump claim DOGE cuts at NOAA and NWS etc, aren’t going to affect anything that goes wrong when those storms hit too?

–

Keep seeing Twitter attacks on immigrants who have been in US decades & have some minor infraction on their record as teenagers

Wondering how many of these trolls have ever say, drank underage, hunted/fished without a license, paid or received cash they didn’t report, etc?

–

Brooke Rollins claims that “34 million able-bodied Americans on Medicaid will be able to replace agricultural workers… 22 million people on Medicaid are 50 and over. We’re gonna put Grandma to work picking fruit? Got it.

Almost Going fourth

July 4, 2025

SF Giants won tonight in Arizona 7-2.

Robbie Ray pitched a complete game.

Wait, it’s possible to have a Giants game that ISN’T torture?

–

Former middleweight boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has been detained by ICE for an expedited deportation.to Mexico.

Now, not a boxing fan, and Chavez Jr doesn’t seem like a nice guy. But seems like his greatest crime might not be just being brown, but not being a Trump supporter.


Reporter asked GOP Rep Troy Nehls “You’re not worried at all that Americans may lose their health care? Nehls “Just some Americans that aren’t Americans”-

So poor people aren’t American huh? Well, at least they are using their outside voices and not concealing their hate.

–

“Alligator Alcatraz” has already flooded with a summer rainstorm.

While it’s easy to laugh at the incompetence this means in a hurricane people are likely to die.

–

Trump today in Iowa described certain bankers as “shylocks”

So by the standards he set for anti-semitism with Harvard etc, Velveeta Voldemort should fire himself.

–

Two starter devils in details on “no tax on tips.”

One, it’s capped at $25,000 But two, low income workers often don’t pay federal income tax.

And under $48,000 ,marginal rate is only 12%. Exemption, however, does NOT apply to social security/Medicare taxes. FICA taxes total 7.65%

–

“Some folks in this town go to church and they pray – P-R-A-Y – on Sunday And they come to Congress and prey – P-R-E-Y – on the American people.” Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

–

–

Donald today called former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum the the Secretary of Energy and the former Governor of North Carolina

Can anyone imagine if Joe Biden had referred to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper as the Governor of North Dakota? And Burgum is Secretary of the Interior, not Secretary of Energy.

–

As if we don’t now have enough problems getting tourists to come to USA. Tonight, Donald issued new executive order calling for Interior Department to raise entry fees to national parks for foreigners. In 2024, international visitors spent $253.9 billion in USA!
