Ghost runners and walkers

June 7, 2025

SF Giants lead MLB in walk off wins.

Two recently have happened with Wilmer Flores at the plate. – one a walk off walk, one a walk off wild pitch. Clearly as far as terrorizing pitchers with the same on the line, Wilmer is the west coast version of Aaron Judge

–

Incredibly exciting finish as Indiana Pacers somehow pulled off another miracle comeback. So many fans eagerly awaiting game two with Indiana vs OKC, But the same NBA that plays regular back to backs during the season has game two scheduled for SUNDAY? (3 day break.) Game seven, if it happens would be June 22. What’s next, weekly playoff games like the NFL?

–

Dear Canada. If Trump cuts off federal funding to California, which is a donor state, could we have a conversation about becoming your 11th province? We’ll bring wine. Love, Californians.

–

Meanwhile in the North Korea of the South:

“Even Republicans in Florida legislature have condemned this arrangement with Hope Florida as possibly illegal, and state prosecutors have opened an investigation.”

Department run by DeSantis orders reporter to stop probing wife’s charity.

–

WTAF? Trump now compares Russia-Ukraine war to ‘kids fighting in a park.”

“Kids fighting in a park?” This is the same man who’s been saying regularly “We have about 5,000 people a week, young men, are dying in that war.” And using adjectives like horrible, ridiculous, etc… Again, the question, evil or dementia?

–

·

JD Vance actually tweeted “There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he’s impulsive or short-tempered. Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that’s ridiculous.”

If this VP thing doesn’t work out JD has a real future in stand-up comedy.

–

–

If Trump cancels federal funding for California, then why should California still send tax money to the feds?

–

Donald bragging about building a ballroom in the White House. Who needs a ballroom when no one in the house has any balls?

–

Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi now says he would have “advised against” Trump’s vanity parade on June 14.

Gosh, if only he was a member of a body that had any power in Washington DC

Filling holes

June 1, 2025

The Los Angeles Dodgers now have 15 pitchers on the IL

So what is Los Angeles going to do at the trade deadline? Buy the Detroit Tigers?

–

Washington Nationals scored 10 runs in the first inning yesterday. Until today, the SF Giants had scored 10 runs in the last 7 games.

–

Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies swept again and are the 3rd fastest to 50 losses in MLB history. The fastest in the modern era since 1900.

27 games behind the Dodgers on June 1. Will the Rockies be the first team mathematically eliminated from winning their division befoe the All-Star Break?


So were people like Joni Ernst always this awful or has serving Trump destroyed their souls?

–

Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth are actually using polygraph tests in efforts to find leakers in the FBI and DOD. Too bad we couldn’t have given them both lie detector tests during their confirmation hearings.

–

Again, wonder why right wing media viewers/readers seem to live in different world? Fox News not even covering insanity of Donald’s reposting conspiracy theory that Biden was executed. While Daily Mail “Trump shares astonishing theory about Joe Biden that is sure to upset Jill”

–

Can we get the reporter who asked Velveeta Voldemort about TACO on a Sunday show? Where she could have asked GOP politicians if they agree with Joni Ernst and what they think of Donald’s reposting an insane conspiracy theory.

–

Anyone asked Sarah Palin, who accused Democrats of “death panels” what she thinks of Joni Ernst’s “we’re all going to die?”

–


Elon Musk: “I’m a little stuck in a bind, where I’m like, well, I don’t wanna, you know, speak up against the administration, but I also don’t wanna take responsibility for everything this administration’s doing.”

He already destroyed government agencies and made the lives of everyone still working for the federal government miserable. While enriching himself and ending investigations into his companies. He’s responsible whether he likes it or not.

–

Well played Rep. Kenyatta. Positively Presidential.

His tweet today “HAPPY PRIDE TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST 4 MONTHS RAISING PRICES & MAKING LIFE WORSE FOR THE FAMILIES OF OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL MAGA AGENDA. BUT FEAR NOT, DEMS WILL FLIP THE HOUSE & MAKE LIFE BETTER! AGAIN, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Bright lights not big city

June 1, 2025

Oklahoma City population, under 800,000.

Indianapolis population under 900,000

Together less than a NYC borough. Sorry not sorry ESPN.

–

But with the NBA Finals set, and OKC a heavy favorite, we still don’t know for sure who will win.

One thing that might be a safe bet- the winning team will NOT be invited to the White House.

(especially as OKC star SGA is Canadian, and Eastern Conference MVP Pascal Siakam is from Cameroon.)

–

Random sports fun fact I learned tonight – Tyrese Haliburton and Brock Purdy are friends back from their days at sports powerhouse Iowa State.

–

Fox News headline “Cancer patient DJ Daniel faces 3 new tumors after inspiring Trump & others.

How can anyone not root for DJ? Evn if Donald did use him as a prop in SOTU.

What Fox doesn’t say. Donald not just deporting immigrant kids w/ cancer, but he & RFK Jr, cutting research that kept DJ alive for years

–

Trump pulled own NASA nominee, AFTER Jared Isaacman was approved by Senate on Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee on 19-to-9 vote. He would’ve been confirmed. But apparently besides donating to Donald, Jared also donated to some Dems. Even the hint of less than abject loyalty is the kiss of death for dear leader.

–

Apparently Velveeta Voldemort was particularly upset when asked about TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out – because no one in the White House had told him about it first. Uh, who would have dared?

–

Trump spokesperson “Harvard decided to litigate on MSNBC, NPR & ratings-disaster CNN instead of acting like adults as their competitors have done & engaging in fruitful conversations & actions that would’ve saved them from self-inflicted demise.” In other words, they didn’t cave.

–

Some Democratic campaigns against sitting GOP Senators may struggle to find talking points. Not I think so much for whoever wins the Democratic primary against “We’re all going to die” Joni Ernst.

–

So with some quasi-legal drugs at best, sounds like Muskrat was behaving in a way that would have gotten most immigrants deported these days.

–

Today’s word “transgenic” Transgenic refers to organism/cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means. Transgenic mice are used for for research purposes. Trump thinks it means “transgender.”

If a star falls in the forest and nobody hears…

May 29, 2025

Bummer that Caitlin Clark has a quad injury and will be out at least two weeks.


But again cool that this is one of ESPN’s top 5 headlines “Fever fall to Mystics in first game without Caitlin Clark.

Wasn’t that long ago that many might have seen Fever and Mystics and figured it had something to do with COVID or some other disease and odd cure ideas.

–

Need a reason to root for OKC in the NBA finals? Their superstar, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, SGA, is Canadian.

–

Since the foreign students in USA, at Harvard and elsewhere, all have visas, the government already knows their names. And a lot more personal details. This is all performative.

–


Trump: “Harvard wants to fight. They want to show how smart they are. And they’re getting their ass kicked.”

What does he think this is? A schoolyard fight between 12 year old boys at his fancy prep school?

–

How long until David Hogg publicly says he’s become a Republican?

–

How do you KNOW when a reporter at a Trump press conference nails something? When Velveeta Voldemort’s response is “that’s a nasty question.”

–

Lost in the coverage of Donald’s outrage over TACO label is coveage of the fact he said he won young people by 37%.

Trump did NOT win young people by 37% He didn’t even win “young people.” While admittedly by less of a margin than Joe Biden, Kamala Harris did.

Dementia dementia dementia… Where’s the book – Orange Sin?

–

If someone like Marco Rubio were in charge when his grandfather came to the United States, Marco himself would never have been born with a chance for US citizenship.

Hey fellow Democrats. Maybe if we want to protest Trump events we should put a “Trump Always Chickens Out” Taco Truck at every rally corner.

–

So which restaurant will first offer the “Trump chicken TACO?” “Like nothing you’ve ever seen before, orange, fatty, supposed to be hot but slathered in Russian dressing.” And a lot more expensive than advertised.

Ratings and other games.

May 27, 2025

So as of tonight, Oklahoma City, and Indiana are one win away from the NBA finals.

And OKC and Indianapolis combined have a population of about 1.6 million.

Will ESPN show highlights of the NBA finals between NFL OTA highlights?

–

For the first five games of this nine game road trip, SF Giants have scored nine runs, four in the first game.

If these keeps up, won’t even be about winning games, the Giants won’t be able to make big bucks at the team store selling “game used bats.”

–

I didn’t know who Todd and Julie Chrisley were. But again, Velveeta Voldemort shows that if you donate to him or are a celebrity who supports him, all crimes are forgiven. Donald would probably pardon Timothy McVeigh if he were still alive.

–

Hey Georgia MAGA: Todd & Julie Chrisley found guilty of defrauding many Atlanta banks out of over $30 million in fraudulent loans. They walked away from over $20 million in loans by declaring bankruptcy. Who ultimately pays that? Stockholders & other bank customers. Like you!

–

How many Republican proud Harvard graduates are silent now as Velveeta Voldemort tries to destroy their alma mater? Profiles in cowardice!

–

As felons get pardoned, and hired, in Trump administration…. I’m so old that I remember when Bill Clinton was impeached over a consensual sexual relationship, and Cabinet nominees stepped down over immigrant nannies.

–

King Charles speech in Canada to parliament. ” Canada faces a critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination & freedom, are values Canadians hold dear & ones which their goverment is determined to protect.”

Diplomatic speak for “suck it, Donald?”

–

Leaving everything else aside, as our US President refers regularly to the Governor of California as “Newscum,” remember that GOP lost their collective minds when Jasmine Crockett referred to Governor of Texas as “Hot Wheels”?

–

Kevin Cramer, sole GOP Senator on Canada trip: “Don’t want to get in Trump’s way….Hopefully I navigated it OK, but I’ll find out on Truth Social. Sad he’s openly scared.

But FIVE Senators on were on the trip Cramer, Klobuchar, Kaine, Shaheen & Welch.

Same MSM media that says Democrats should be doing more doesn’t headline them at all.

–

The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping new plan to investigate students’ social media pages for posts that they disagree with. All incoming international students will be forced to undergo “vetting”..

This is great news for University of Toronto, already a top school, and about to become the most sought-after college in North America for the best and the brightest around the world. Won’t be bad for McGill, McMaster and University of British Columbia either..

Numbers games

May 26, 2025

Of course it’s way too early to look seriously at the standings. But if MLB season ended today, four playoff teams would be from AL Central (Tigers, Guardians, Twins, Royals) and three (Dodgers, Giants, Padres), from NL West.

–

Minnesota Twins fall short 2-1 to Royals with tying run on 3rd and winning run on 2nd in 10th…. but baseball friend pointed out, had they pulled it out would have been first 3 game sweep with all wins by walkoff in franchise history. Baseball is the best nerd game.

–


Whether or not Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark really was fouled late in a two point game against the NY Liberty it’s kind of cool that social media is in an uproar over women’s basketball.

–

All these 20 plus point comebacks in NBA playoffs. Maybe it’s good for advertisers in the 4th quarter. But have to wonder, how many people are figuring there’s no need to turn in for the first quarter?

–

Trump DOJ investigating Chicago mayor for possibly hiring too many Black people. His office workforce is 30% White, 34% Black. Chicago city population is 31.4% white, 28.7% black.

Meanwhile 40% of Americans are people of color. Trump cabinet, 17% people of color. Where’s THAT investigation?

–


He’s going to pardon the “late great Al Capone”, isn’t he?

–

Wow. CNN’s “Change the Channel” Scott Jennings in a speech promoting his own book said that when he first met Trump at the White House, Donald told him “You look terrific.” So is Jennings hoping when Velveeta Voldemort runs out of Fox folks to hire he’ll offer him a job?

–

Buried in NY Times article today. “In no county where Trump increased his share of vote did majority of adults have college degree. And in no county voting more Democratic did fewer than 20% of adults have college degree.” Why Trump feels safe going after Harvard.

–

Now he’s attacking the “big beautiful bill.” Twice in one month Trump actually has me agreeing with… Rand Paul?

–

Personally I’m fine with Tommy Tuberville running for Alabama governor. But does this mean he’d actually have to move back to the state from Florida?

–

NY Times Headline “Europe Negotiating by the Book, but Trump Is Tearing It Up.” Buried lede: “Trump sees tariff talks as chance to pressure rival into concessions. E.U. officials have acted as if they were dealing w/ an ally.”

Think about it. Memorial Day weekend, four months into Trump second term, USA is no longer an ally of Europe.

–

When #FAFO trends now we all know it’s another Trump about a Trump voter or voters who voted for him to hurt other people. And now discovered they ARE the other people.

–

Trump at West Point “You will become officers of the greatest & most powerful army the world has ever known. And I know, because I rebuilt that army, & I rebuilt the military. And we rebuilt it like nobody has ever rebuilt it before in my 1st term…” Dementia in plain sight.

Down is up

May 24, 2025

At 8-42, the Rockies just finished the worst 50 games in MLB history since 1895.

Tonight, they knocked off the AL East leading NY Yankees 3-2.

Baseball is a funny game.

–

Do any of these folks cheering Trump attacks on Harvard realize that he won’t stop at Harvard? It’ll be your alma-mater next. Or if you didn’t go to University, maybe the school with your favorite college football or basketball team.

–

Hey MAGA. As Donald escalates his xenophobia to banning foreign college students, are you ready to kiss even red-state teams’ successes goodbye?

Florida just won national NCAA men’s basketball championship with Australian power forward , Nigerian center and Slovenian guard.

–

WTAF? Trump now justifying his attacks on Harvard by alleging that it’s foreign students at Harvard who need “remedial math?” Man who bankrupted CASINOS and who thinks tariffs are not a tax says what?

–

I’m so old I remember when Trump criticized Biden over Hurricane Helene relief & lied that FEMA spent money helping immigrants & not North Carolina residents. He got NC electoral votes & now takes FEMA money from the state to pay for billionaire tax cuts and his military parade

–

–

There is one reason Velveeta Voldemort is threatening 50% tariffs on the EU. They had the audacity to sign a rare minerals deal with Greenland.

The Independent and others are reporting that at Donald’s high priced crypto coin dinner the food was awful. “Spirit Airlines level” said one..“Worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” TikTok personality Nick Pinto, who invested $300,000 in Trump family cryptocurrency, ..only good thing was bread & butter.”

So overpriced, overhyped crap. Sounds like a metaphor for his presidency.

–

Bible says “it profit not a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul.”. Meanwhile Jake Tapper sold his soul, (and trashed his ratings) in hopes of a bestseller and will have his books on the remainder shelf by summer.

–

Former Republican member of Congress David Jolly of Florida goes there. “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and arguably unwell.” Biden is no longer President and no longer has power. We need to focus on the threat to our country right now.

–

We need a book about Trump’s decline and the coverup. Some REAL journalist want to write it? Got the title for you – “Orange Sin.”

Star power

May 17, 2025

Friday night Wilmer Flores won the game for SF Giants with 8 RBI’s on 3 home runs. (Giants won 9-1)

Tonight he Wilmer won the game with an RBI bases loaded walk.

Baseball is a very funny game.

–

Flores has 42 RBIs, Judge now has 41.

Arson Judge: 2025 Salary $40,000,000

Wilmer Flores: 2025 Salary: $3,500,000

–

Wilmer Flores now has seven career grand slams. To put this in perspective, Barry Bonds only had 11.

–


Guess we’re not going to hear MAGA crow about Journalism after today’s race. #Preakness150

–

There have been major wildfires in Minnesota Tornados did major damage and killed at least 27 people in Missouri and Kentucky

Meanwhile our President is ranting on line about Taylor Swift, Bruce Springstein & SCOTUS justices he himself appointed.

I miss Consoler-in-Chief Joe Biden.

–

As New Jersey Transit engineers strike enters its second day, have to think Joe Biden, who loves trains and unions, would have brokered a deal by now.

–

Donold also posted an AI video of himself performing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

Journey is a San Francisco band who has already told one member not to perform for Trump. Lawsuit coming in 3.2.1….

–


But both Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have spoken up strongly in last week about Trump & his administration trying nonstop distraction. And media ignores their warnings and takes the bait.

–

“So grandpa, why is USA no longer considered a world power? “Well, you see, sonny, we elected a mad tyrant bent on destroying our country from within but people and the media were too focused on the previous President being old…”

And then there’s the faux outrage on the seashells 8647 picture James Comey posted.

A meaning I remember of 86 from my waitress days is “sold out”

And after this week watching him kissing up to Mideast royalty in exchange for a plane & no doubt other promises, thinking millions of American can agree that Donald has definitely sold out

–

FBI reportedly moving 1,500 personnel from D.C., closing storied headquarters

Kash Patel lives in Las Vegas. What’s he going to do? Demand the federal government build a new FBI headquarters on the Strip?

–

Fox News never missed a chance to attack President Biden when the economy had so much as a hiccup. Now for the first time in history, Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. credit rating from Aaa to Aa1.

Fox News. Crickets.

–

Really interesting that none of the three judges Trump appointed are backing him on his most egregious acts. (Alito, appointed by W. and Thomas, appointed by his dad, are Donald’s most steadfast disciples.)

–

SNL season 50 finale tonight – James Austin Johnson as Trump in cold open “See you in the fall… if we still a country.”

Blowing in the smoke

May 8, 2025

Actually had stayed with CNN this am because I liked watching the seagulls and their baby seagull…

–

Is it just possible that the Cardinals decided to get even with Trump for that blasphemous picture by deciding on a new pope a few minutes after Donald announced his big beautiful concept of a trade deal?

–

Oh, this could be fun… New Pope Robert Francis Prevost “is known for his commitment to the poor and migrants.” Attacks on him by Donald in 3.2.1…

–

Friend says that with the new Pope from Chicago that at Wrigley Field they should start blowing white smoke for a Cubs win and black smoke for a loss.

(though apparently the new Pope is a White Sox fan. Wins may require miracles above his pay grade.)

–

The Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night looked like a team that might never lose again in this postseason.

But otherwise all the insanity in predicting the NBA Champion looks about as easy as it was predicting a new Pope.

–

President Obama tweeted Congratulations to the new Pope, “a fellow Chicagoan.”

If someone somewhere can find an old picture of the new Pope with Obama imagine how much MAGA heads will explode.

So will Jeanine Pirro have a driver or will her first act as acting interim U.S Attorney for DC be to legalize DUIs in Washington?

–

Trump was asked -“Why did you pick a woman for surgeon general who didn’t finish her residency and is not a practicing physician?” “Bobby thought she was fantastic.” Heaven help us.

–

No lie too small – or too ridiculous Donald actually said that his new surgeon general nominee graduated “first in her class at Stanford.” Think every Stanford person I know would join me in saying “No bleeping way is that true.”

–

New Pope Leo XIV, who’s been critical on Twitter of JD Vance, is registered Republican who voted absentee in 2024 election. No way of knowing who he voted for but probably just as well he’s registered GOP. If not Trump would use him as an example to gut voting from abroad.

–

Libearian of Congress Carla Hayden was nominated by President Obama & confirmed in 2016 by GOP Controlled Senate in 74-18 vote. Her 10-year term was set to expire next year.

The cruelty is the point. Also Trump hates books.

–

Pro-Trump American Accountability Foundation tweeted BEFORE Carla Hayden fired as Librarian of Congress, “It’s time to get her OUT & hire a new guy for the job!”

Uh..

1. new “GUY?”

2. AAF is 501c3 – tax-exempt nonprofit. And Trump wants to take tax-exempt status from Harvard?

Underrated

May 7, 2025

MLB RBI leaders

Pete Alonso – 34 – 2025 salary $27 million

Teoscar Hernández -34 – 2025 salary $23.5 million

Aaron Judge – 34 – 2025 salary $40 million

Wilmer Flores – 33 – 2025 salary $3.5 million.

Best value in baseball #SFGiants

–

There were times that it looked like Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t going to lose in the playoffs.

Now it looks like they might not lose again.

–

All you need to know about how stretched out the NBA Playoff season is…. Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has a hamstring injury and will be out at “least a week.” In a seven game series, if his injury lasts eight days, he will miss two more games.

–

JD Vance actually “joked” that the USA would deport visitors who come here to watch the FIFA World Cup. As if soccer fans felt good about coming to the US as it is.

First he broke the National Championship trophy, now VP is breaking World Cup ticket sales,

–

United Airlines, which has 65% of the flights at Newark, donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration… They must be so pleased.

–

How much would we all like to be flies on the wall when Canadian PM Mark Carney gets home and into a private place to talk about his visit to Trump’s White House?

So what’s Velveeta Voldemort going to do to distract from the fact that Donald is not going to be elected Pope?

–

Trumps’s new surgeon general nominee is Casey Means who withdrew from her medical residency at age 30.

She is anti-vax, and thinks you can stay healthy by focusing on metabolic health and glucose testing?! And Laura Loomer got rid of the original nominee for being too pro-vaccine?

We’re living in a bad SNL skit.

–

“Just heard about it….They’ve been fighting for many years, many decades actually… I just hope it ends quickly.” Donald Trump on India-Pakistan being on the brink of war… Do we feel safe yet?

–

So how many more fighter jets have to fall off US aircraft carriers before even Republicans decide that DOD Secretary Pete Hegseth is really really bad at his job?

–

Does Donald realize that calling California’s governor “Gavin Newscum” at a Press Conference is much more demeaning to him as President than it is to Newsom?

Former RFK Jr. running mate Nicole Shanahan: “I don’t know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on.”

He apparently promised her neither surgeon general nominee Casey Means nor her brother would be part of his administration.

Man who cheated on his ex-wife and his current wife and who has been disowned by his family might not be trustworthy? Who knew?

Moving on

May 1, 2025

Ottawa Senators tied Maple Leafs in the 3rd period until Toronto went ahead for good 3-2 with 5:39 left. Leafs improved to 2-13 (!) in potential series-clinching games since 2018. Wonder how many past & present Toronto fans figured Leafs would blow THIS 3-0 series lead?

(lived in Toronto 4 of 5 years between 1968 to 1973- when we moved there the Leafs were GOOD.)

–

Entering the playoffs, apprarently more money had been wagered on the Los Angeles Lakers to win the Finals than on any other team at multiple sportsbooks. Thoughts and prayers.

–

Anyone else ever think that when Donald has a chance to make any appointment he asks himself “Who is the worst person I can possibly choose?” and then picks them just to prove he can?

–

Tommy Tuberville actually defending Pete Hegseth today on Senate floor. He’s attacking Democratic colleagues, “RINOs” & media who criticize Pete as wanting America to fail.. Your reminder that the last two universities who hired Coach Tubby paid him millions to go away.

–

So now Waltz is the nominee for Ambassador to the United Nations. Yeah, I’m sure other countries will feel very confident dealing with a man who Fubared up US National Security so badly with Signalgate that he got fired.

–

So did Trump nominate Mike Waltz for UN Ambassador to keep him from writing a tell-all book?

–

Trump claims he deserves a “pass” on the GDP contracting because it’s Biden’s fault? But he also demands his cabinet cult praise him for the best 100 days ever in our country? Make it makes sense.

–

Can we start calling it the Trump Cult Cabinet?

–

Donald Trump fired Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish, along with other Biden appointees. from the the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. Who is Velveeta Voldemort going to replace Emhoff with, David Duke?

–

So much gaslighting. When many Americans can’t afford to buy groceries due to tariffs will Trump claim it’s all part of his plan to have us lose weight?

–

So in Trump world, some kids who would have had 30 dolls for Christmas now will get two. But those children whose parents’ could barely afford one doll will get zero. Trump Tariffs are a war on Christmas.

Trump is now vowing to defund PBS and NPR

A war on Easter with egg prices

A war on Christmas with tariffs on toys.

Now a war on Elmo and Cookie Monster?

–

Americans, when you can’t afford to buy one doll this Christmas, let alone necessities, think of Thom Tillis (NC) Jon Husted (OH) Pete Ricketts (NE) Steve Daines (MT) Joni Ernst (IA) Dan Sullivan (AS) & other GOP Senators running in 2026 who wouldn’t vote against Trump tariffs.

Heroes and zeroes

April 26, 2025

Non political weirdness for the night LA Dodgers, San Diego Padres and SF Giants, three of best records in baseball. All shut out Friday night. (By Pirates, Rays and Rangers.)

Imagine being Cam Ward, #1 pick in the NFL draft. And all the media is about the guy who HASN’T been drafted yet.

–

So Donald took to social media to attack NFL owners for not picking Shedeur Sanders in the 1st round of the draft because Deion’s son has “PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness.” Now Shedeur hasn’t been drafted through THREE rounds. Almost as if #ETTD

–

Although as he talks about “phenomenal genes” we should remember that many have pointed out that Barron Trump was turned down by Harvard.

I’m sure Trump’s vendetta against Harvard has nothing to do with that.

–

For those trying to excuse Trump’s arresting a judge.. Yes, criminals should not walk free. But if undocumented people can be arrested simply when they appear in courtroom, what happens if immigrants witness crime, robbery, assault, even murder? They won’t show up as witnesses.

–

When Trump says “unlike every other President I took the cognitive test and I aced it 100%….” Your reminder. In general a cognitive test is not part of an average physical. A cognitive test is given to a patient suspected of having dementia or Alzheimers.

(and it’s not a test you “ace.” It’s more like pass-fail.”

–

–

CNN reporting Trump now saying he said he would end war in 24 hours “in jest.”

Erin Burnett points out Trump said ‘I will end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours’ “at least 53 times.”

–

US Bureau of Economic Analysis says California made $4.1 trillion in GDP last year. Pushing the state past Japan to be the 4th largest economy in the world. If Trump keeps cutting funding to the state, maybe California should stop paying federal taxes? Just saying.

–


Judges today, will they arrest journalists tomorrow?

–

Donald refuses to say if Chinese President Xi has called him. Translation. Xi hasn’t called. He’s enjoying this.

–

Has Trump pardoned George Santos yet?

A loss is a loss?

April 22, 2025

Well, the SF Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers both gave up 11 runs to their opponents on Tuesday night.

The Giants lost 11-3, the Dodgers blew a 10-7 lead late and lost 11-10 in ten innings.

They count the same in the standings.

–

Anyone else who remembers the original six NHL teams, or even when the league had about 20 teams, still have it feel a bit odd when you see a playoff game between Florida and Tampa??

–

So does Elon Musk in returning to Tesla think his potential buyers will all forget that little side hustle he had as acting President?

–

Two young men, one whose girlfriend had his ID, one whose mom had birth certificate, already mistakenly detained as undocumented immigrants. What makes anyone think Trump hasn’t already deported a US citizen. If someone is single & had no one to vouch for him, how would we know?

–

Does anyone really think Pete Hegseth has only had two Signal chats with top secret information? And open note to any journalist who might have been included -Please come forward instead of saving it for a book.

–

Another week, another allegation of incompetence. Has a single Republican who wanted Lloyd Austin to resign as DOD Secretary because he supposedly lost his department’s confidence by hiding his hospitalization, said one word about Pete Hegseth?

–

Have no idea why Kristi Noem had $3,000 in her purse. But sure seems like right-wing media and GOP who want to give HER the benefit of the doubt, won’t do the same to anyone who is an immigrant or person of color.

–

North Carolina, still recovering from Hurricane Helene, now has the added blow of losing the CDC disaster team who Trump/Musk laid off. President Biden would have kept that team in place Kamala Harris would have kept that team in place.

Elections have consequences.

So did they need a conclave at the Vatican before the Pope’s funeral to decide if they really had to invite the President of the United States?

Why is it that hard to understand why Donald hates our country . IMHO the answer is not that hard. America rejected him once in 2020.

It’s ALL about revenge. He won’t live forever. But he hopes his destruction will be permanent..

Never say never

April 21, 2025

If you’re looking for mIracles… the Detroit Pistons snapped a 15 game NBA playoff streak dating back to May 2008.

How long ago was that?

Forget revenge against having a black President. Many Americans in May 2008 couldn’t yet imagine having a black President.

–

And Not Catholic, not close to Catholic. But seems that, on the whole, Francis was a decent man.

At a time when we need more of them. RIP Pope.

–

Not satire.

Velveeta Voldemort actually posted that “Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome. We look forward to being there.”

What kind of sick f*ck (leade) says publicly ‘we look forward to being” at a funeral.

(yes I am aware many Americans may say that in private.. 🙂

–

Pope Francis died of a stroke and heart failure, the Vatican’s press office said in a statement today.

Yes, he was an old man who wasn’t in the greatest health. But can’t imagine meeting JD Vance was a stress-free experience.

–

Has Donald demanded he be appointed Pope yet?

–

At this point have to wonder how many journalists have been included on Pete Hegseth SiGNAL chats and have just decided to save it for their books?

–

Amy Klobuchar said the US Supreme court should hold Trump administration officials in contempt if they continue to ignore court orders…

Dear Chief Justice Frankenstein/Roberts – i know it’s tough… but this is one way to go get your monster.

Also your reminder.

Trump chose Jerome Powell as chair of Federal Reserve.

As he appointed Chris Krebs.

As he appointed Christopher Wray at FBI

As he chose Mike Pence as VP. Sooner or later everyone ends up under the Trump bus.

–

And besides doing his BFF’s Vlad’s bidding, some ask, why would Donald try to destroy America?

Because we rejected him, once. In 2020. And he knows it. Revenge is his number one motivation.

–

Now reportedly Hegseth shared attack details in a second signal chat. If there’s two, there’s three. If there’s three there’s four. If there’s four, there’s more.

–

Let’s not forget, Pete Hegseth was fired from not one but two veterans’ nonprofits over allegations of mismanagement. Btw, anyone talked to Senators Joni Ernst or Thom Tillis lately?

–

When millions of Americans voted for lower prices, don’t think the stock market was what they had in mind. “Dow drops 1,200 points, S&P 500 loses 3% as Trump again attacks Powell and sows investor doubt.”

It’s not over til it’s over

April 18, 2025

Why baseball is the best sport:

No clock

“Arizona, became just 3rd team over the past 50 seasons to lose a game in which it had a 10-run inning at any point.”

The Diamondbacks had their 10 run inning in the 8th, took an 11-7 lead to the bottom of the 8th. And lost… 13-11.

–

I’m so old I remember when an 82 game season that allowed 16 of 30 teams into the NBA postseason was considered enough of a “play-in round.”

–

Kilmar Abergo Garcia was wearing a KC Chiefs hat in his meeting with Chris Van Hollen today. So is ICE gonna start arresting and deporting Chiefs fans now too?

–

Aaron Rodgers now saying he is uncertain about his future and could even retire. Or maybe Mr. “I do my own research” is hoping to work with RFK Jr. at HHS?

–

How many times do we all need to hear this? Personally apologizing to the President of the United States should NEVER be a requirement for a state to receive federal funds, or a university to keep its tax exempt status.


I missed “It’s going to take some time” and “we’re going to have to go through some pain” from Trump and GOP on the 2024 campaign trail…

–

Trump’s latest acting IRS commission has been fired, fewer than three days after being appointed.

Heck, Donald’s relationship with Stormy Daniels almost lasted longer than that

–

And now Trump administration is blaming Harvard for their confrontation because they say the letter most recently send with unreasonable demands was a mistake and Harvard should have known that?

–

Harvard Thursday: “We will continue to comply with the law. And we expect the administration to do the same.” Hello, 911, I’d like to report a major burn.

–

Trump has done the impossible: Made Harvard into a courageous underdog.

–

This White House is the gang that couldn’t shoot democracy straight…

–

I really don’t like this documentary combined sequel to Dr. Strangelove and the Manchurian Candidate.

–

Velveeta Voldemort wants the FDA to stop routine food safety inspections. And the GOP is silent. Once again Pro Life My Ass..

–

Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair.

Donald Trump chose Christopher Wray to lead FBI.

Donald Trump put Christopher Krebs in charge of the new Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency. See the pattern?

–

Very impressed with Senator Chris Van Hollen who got to see Kilmar Garcia. Have to wonder… did it help that he is a low-key white guy, who no one can accuse of being far-left or media-focused?

–

A reminder. The Germans outsourced their worst concentration/death camps to Nazi Germany occupied Poland. Now Trump is outsourcing US concentration/death camps to US funded El Salvador.

–

Again for those in the back:

Democrats believe in the rule of law Democrats DO also believe in due process. Which benefits all of us. If charges alone were enough to throw someone in jail or deport them, Biden could have sent Trump to prison or Moscow years ago.


The suspect in Thursday’s Florida State shooting is the son of a sheriff’s deputy. So a good guy with a gun until he wasn’t?

–

Trump used the mother of a woman murdered by an immigrant in a photo op to somehow justify sending Kilmar Alberto Garcia to El Salvador.

Are we going to deport some children of sheriff’s deputies because one of them just killed two people at Florida State?

Fumbled

April 15, 2025

We shouldn’t have trusted the national championship trophy in the hands of JD Vance.

Shouldn’t trust him with his hands on our democracy either.

–

-On a rare bright note on a rough day. Paige Bueckers, as expected, was taken first in the WNBA draft.

Wasnt that long ago that many Americans, even sports fans, may not have realized the WNBA HAD a draft.

–

Many have thought American democracy is unsinkable.. Tonight the night of April 14,/15 1912, after disregarding many ice warnings, the Titanic hit that iceberg. How many warnings do we need?

–

When Hitler took power in January 1933 he started opening concentration camps. Dachau was one of the first. It wasn’t originally for Jews. It was for the mass imprisonment (& murder) of political opponents. Including journalists.

If you’re not afraid you’re not paying attention.

–

Meanwhile, for those who despise elite universities.

Or those who still don’t think lack of due process wil happen to them… at least until a friend or family member is deported..

Donold still has crazy tariffs. About 60 percent of all imports sold in Walmart — were made in China.

–

Remember Joe Biden calling Peter Doocy “stupid S.O.B?” under his breath, when he didn’t realize the mic was on? ” Right wing media lost their minds.

Even though Biden apologized to Doocy and Peter accepted it.

Trump says out loud to Kaitlin Collins that “CNN hates our country.” And “Let’s hear the question from this very low-rated anchor at CNN.”

Right-wing media cheers!

–


Fox News headline “Senate DOGE leader (Joni Ernst) targets tax-dodging government workers.” Fine, can she include members of Congress?

–

47 Democratic Senators can all express outrage.

213 Democratic Representatives can all express outrage.

Won’t matter. Republicans have the gavels. We need just a few of them to remember the oath they took to the constitution and this country.


“Homegrowns are next.”

All these people who say Democrats were fearmongering and the USA would never overturn Roe v. Wade now say Trump would never send U.S. Citizens to be imprisoned in a foreign counry.

If you can make it there..

April 12, 2025

Wilmer Flores with his sixth home run of the season Saturday in New York’s Yankee Stadium

Who does he think he is? Arson Judge?

Baseball taketh away and then giveth.

If you’re an SF Giants fan who had no fun watching the Giants Yankees game today, a 4-8 loss, other than Wilmer’s great day , the Dodgers Cubs game might have made up for it. (And 0-16 loss. Not a typo)

–

The NBA regular season ends today. April 13. Which means we are only 2 months and 9 days from a potential NBA finals game 7.

–

Donald Trump got Bucharest to give the Tate brothers, their confiscated passports back so they could leave the country.

The Tate brothers face civil and criminal claims in the UK, US and Romania.

But he can’t get his good buddy in El Salvador to release a innocent man? Two words. Yeah. Right.

–

So in Donald’s world El Salvador is a proud and sovereign nation.

But Greenland and Canada are not?

–

So smartphones are excluded from the tariffs? Someone told Velveeta Voldemort that Americans “screwing in little screws” wasn’t going to happen.

But doubling the price of Americans’ iPhones was going to screw the GOP.

–

Either that or “Tim Apple” more than doubled his donation to Trump.

–

Velveeta Voldemort is now selling “Gulf of America” hats for $47 Because 49.8% of Americans absolutely voted last year that chase, corruption and higher prices were worth it to rename maps?

–

Marco Rubio’s grandfather was ordered deported because he entered the United States without a visa and had worked for Castro government. The cruelty, and the hypocrisy, is the point.

–

Karoline Leavitt keeps talking about Trump’s “incredible stamina and work ethic.” As Velveeta Voldmort heads to Mar-A-Lago for yet another golf weekend. He hasn’t stayed in DC ONCE since his inauguaral.

–

Egg prices skyrocketing again.

Tequila, Mexican beer & avocados (90% grown in Mexico) prices are going up.

Fireworks, costumes & Christmas decorations (all made in China) prices are going up.

Trump is starting a war on Easter, Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Halloween & Christmas!

Math games

April 11, 2025

There are five teams within one game of each other for the last three guaranteed playoff sports and the top two spots in the play in tournament- with two games left in the regular season. And if you can figure out all the permutations, be glad you learned math before Trump guts education.

4Nuggets48-322
5Clippers48-322
6Warriors47-332
—PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT——
7Grizzlies47-332
8Timberwolves47-332

–

The US base commander in Greenland, who spoke out against JD Vance, has been fired.

Her trangression? Having more cojones than most men.

–

Rachel Maddow tonight talking of Avelo Airlines, budget carrier serving smaller airports that dropped many flights in order to use the planes to carry out Trump deportations. And we thought Southwest getting rid of “bags fly free” was the worst airline PR disaster of the year.

–

Trump on his new $5 million gold card: “It’s a road to citizenship for people, essentially people of wealth, or for people of wealth pay for people of talent to get in.” Translation: old rich men who want young beautiful women can give them something better than a genius visa.

–

Vanity Fair has an article “A Peek Inside Usha Vance’s “Very Lonely, Lonely World” Think I’ll pass on reading it. But thoughts and prayers.

–

GOP Senate apoplectic that Schumer is slowed down the appointment of the new Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Dan Caine, who was eventually confirmed 60-25 in the early hours of the morning.. They didn’t mind when Tommy Tuberville blocked hundreds of military appointments for 10 months..

–

Democrats, with only 47 seats, can’t stop appointments. But they sure can keep some rich GOP Senators from enjoying their nights & weekends.

–

Hope some of these rich white men in the GOP Senate don’t mind giving up nights and weekends.

Trump is the sort of guy who when you play poker with him and he bluffs and loses with a pair of sixes, will upend the table and say the game is rigged.

Over and out.

April 10, 2025

The Chicago White Sox were about to tie the game on a bases loaded single in the 9th inning today against the Cleveland Guardians. And then runner Mike Tauchman injured himself running around third and couldn’t make it to the plate. This might be one of the most White Sox losses ever.

–

Meanwhile, Mike Yastremski, who hit a three run home run to help SF Giants win 5-4 on Sunday, said at the time, his 3 year old Quinley asked me for a home run,” Yastrzemski said over the weekend.

–

Today Yaz admitted “Well, she asked me specifically for a triple, a home run and a splash hit.”

And he won the game with a 2-run splash hit in the 10th.

Maybe the SF Giants need to buy that girl a pony. Or something.

–

Meanwhile in Colorado, 11 games in the 2-9 Rockies have a -33 run differential. Which means not only are they losing, they are losing by an average of 3 runs per game. Ouch.

–

Wonder if any journalists were included on a SIGNAL chat about fake tariffs in order to manipulate the market.

If so, would be nice if they’d come out with it now instead of waiting to write a book.

–
It’s not just that the rich got richer. But many working class people sold at a loss because they were terrified of losing what was left of their retirement savings.

–

Trump’s wants the IRS’s division to go after rich tax cheats eliminated. But he wants the IRS to turn over confidential information to go after, for now, immigrants. How long until he tries to go after those who donate to liberal causes?

–

Please folks. Forget 4D chess. Could some reporter on camera just ask Trump to name every piece on a chessboard?

–

Trump White House to NBC News -they will not release list of countries that have so far reached out to start negotiating with U.S. over Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs. Translation – the list doesn’t exist.

–

Trump is the arsonist who shows up to help firefighters and wants to be declared a hero.

–

“President Trump is doing a masterful job of negotiating with other countries!?””

New Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno on Senate floor today. Ohio, not only did you vote out a great man in Sherrod Brown but you elected a sycophantic buffoon.

–

Could some of this insanity with tariffs and changing on a daily basis be because Velveeta Voldemort was tired of his co-President Musk getting all the headlines?

As a Democrat I can say I think Nancy Pelosi was wrong not to outlaw Congressional stock trading. But think most Democrats now would vote to do it. Your move, Mike Johnson.

Wrong turn

April 8, 2025


As the biggest payroll in baseball Los Angeles Dodgers appeared at the White House today while our stock market craters, would it be wrong as an SF Giants fan to hope #ETTD?

(And LA then did go out and lost to the the Nationals.)

–

Donold couldn’t resist swipping at California’s Senators when the Los Angeles Dodgers visited today.

Imagine if when the 2016 Super Bowl Champions Denver Broncos came to the White House President Obama had taken the time to insult and refuse to acknowledge by name Colorado GOP Senator Cory Gardner.

But that wouldn’t have happened. because Barack is not a petty little b*tch.

–

We are about 14 months away from the World Cup at this point. Leaving aside tourists wanting to go somewhere else, Why would any young man who isn’t blond hair and blue-eyed risk coming here?


At this point how many other countries would back Greenland or Canada in trying to annex the United States?

–

Anyone remember Trump during the campaign talking about an economic revolution and the pain we’d all have to go through for his vision?

Me neither.

–


Even as a political junkie I somehow missed the 2024 Trump campaign slogan “Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.”

–

In 17th & 18th century England, wreckers took valuables from ships that ran aground in Devon & Cornwall. Some claimed that wreckers actually decoyed ships with lights to crash into the coast.

Those stories may be myths, but what Trump & his buddies are doing to wreck the US economy IS deliberate.

–

A garment worker in Vietnam makes $200-300 a month.

Someone who makes shoes in China makes $400-600 a month

People who put together iPhones in China make about $3.00 a hour.

But yeah, tell me how we’re going to move manufacturing to the US.

–

On Twitter, Maga trolls and bots posting near identical posts accusing Democrats of being pro slave labor in response to anyone pointing out how much less manufacturing salaries are overseas.

Yet in the US, Republicans want not to raise the minimum wage and make child labor legal.

–

Amy Coney Barrett is an anti-choice conservative SCOTUS justice

But she is not apparently a monster.

So MAGA is big mad at her.

Seems sadly on brand.

–

Why isn’t media hammering this point?

Could Trump demand El Salvador return innocent man? Perhaps not.

Could he ask? Yes. And why wouldn’t President of El Salvador do a favor for his good friend?

Donold wants to make all deportations, even of innocent people, irrevocable.

–

GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, who got rich by bringing us car alarms, now has No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA) act which would limit district court judges’ ability to issue orders blocking Trump policies nationwide. Funny, GOP didn’t mind when district judges blocked Biden policies.

–

We’ve had recession and depressions. Can we start calling this a Trumpression?

–

The market has circuit breakers. It is a shame the USA doesn’t have circuit breakers that would trigger an election.
