Shuffling the wild cards

October 1, 2025

Now that Los Angeles moves on they will play Philadelphia in the NLDS.

Phillies hitters must have been watching this Dodgers bullpen nightly implosion with the rapt attention a cat usually gives a mouse.-

–

SF Giants and NY Mets fans have to be united tonight in thinking.. if only we’d had a chance for 2 out of 3 vs the Dodgers bullpen… And how much fun would it have been to see Tyler Rogers strike out Ohtani with 75 MPH heat?

–

Though Detroit Tigers have left 15 men on base, is 1 for 15 with RISP today. The team is 2 for 23 with RISP in the Wild Card Series. And here I thought I was done watching the SF Giants for 2025…

–

Karoline Leavitt just said today “Jared Kushner is widely respected around the world…. “

How many comedians could work for days and never write a line as funny as that?-

–

Meanwhile VP JD Vance decided to show up at today’s White House Press Briefing. But not his boss.

Because Donald is too tired and frail to stand up at the podium and answer questions?

Hey Jake Tapper. Where’s the book? #OrangeSin

–

Two Delta planes collided on the ground at La Guardia today, shearing the wine off one plane. Fortunately there was only one injury.

Fox News headlined the story. But didn’t mention DOT Secretary Sean Duffy. If it were former DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg still in charge they’d be calling for his impeachment.

–

Your reminder – Every one of these Republicans in Congress who are fighting to take healthcare benefits away from millions of Americans have their own taxpayer paid healthcare. And if they qualify for pensions, those same GOP have subsidized healthcare for life.

–

JD Vance told another racist lie today that ER wait times are long because of “illegal aliens.” But when ACA subsidies go away, many Americans will have to let their insurance lapse. So does JD think poor citizens should die too? Or only the black and brown ones?

–

As Vance tries to tell us ERs shouldn’t try to save “illegals,” imagine what happens if you have a heart attack jogging and when an ambulance takes you to the hospital, doctors have to ask for a passport before they try to save your life.

–

As OMB director Vought stops $18 billion in already approved New York City infrastructure projects, allegedly over DEI issues, at what point do blue cities & states try to stop paying federal taxes?

–

So Republicans, wrap your head around this. The same guy who wants a Nobel Peace Prize, who proudly proclaims himself the best negotiator and deal-maker ever… Can’t even as Commander in Chief with GOP House and Senate make a deal to keep the government open.

Could have been worse….

September 27, 2025

Good news, Stanford rallied from 12 points down for a last minute comeback and won 30-29 against San Jose State.

Bad news, Stanford needed to rally from 12 points down for a last minute comeback to beat San Jose State.

–

It did work out when Spencer Bivens came in to put out the fire.

But SF Giants manager Bob Melvint putting Ryan Walker into today’s game with a 4-2 lead to try to save the last start of the year for Justin Verlander should have been listed under “Insanity” in the dictionary

–

With the government about to shutdown, Trump took Friday off to attend the Ryder Cup.

Now “Europe has set a record for largest Ryder Cup lead going into Sunday singles under format that dates to 1979: Europe 11.5, USA 4.5.” Almost as if #ETTD

–

Noticing the Sunday Shows lineups: ABC, NBC & CBS, CNN all have both Democrats and Republicans.

Fox News Sunday has just J.D. Vance, while Fox Sunday Futures has 3 Republicans & John Fetterman.

And some wonder why Fox News viewers have a warped view of the world?

–

Trump now telling parents to have five separate vaccine appointments. At the same time he and GOP are stripping healthcare from millions of Americans. And many working parents already struggle to find time for every doctor visit.

–

For those worried that Trump’s will use potential shutdown as justification to order agencies to fire federal employees working for programs that are “not consistent with the president’s priorities.” We know he wants to fire those people eventually anyway.

–

Sinclair’s ABC stations stopped preempting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” starting Sept. 26. Sounds like genuflecting before Trump took a back seat to ratings and profits…

Oh please. As Trump says he is now releasing Amelia Earhart files, remember, the aviator was 39 when she disappeared. An age when Donald probably would have said “She wouldn’t have been my choice.”

–


If he didn’t write this card, Fox News would be talking about it, with a handwriting expert, nonstop.

High Gatorade mark…

September 16, 2025

On Friday night Sept 12, the SF Giants beat the LA Dodges with a walkoff grand slam by Patrick Bailey.

They haven’t won since.

–

Meanwhile, in the NFL, there is controversy over Fox News broadcaster and Oakland Raiders part owner Tom Brady sitting in the coaching booth for games, and getting potential inside information before pre-games that could benefit his team..

The man who got the benefit of most NFL calls on the field might now be getting preferential treatment and inside information as an owner? I am shocked, shocked…

–

As we remember Robert Redford in “All the President’s Men,” remember that Richard Nixon was openly hostile to the Washington Post, but publisher Katharine Graham refused to bow to him. Jeff Bezos, you’re no Katharine Graham.

–

As Trump visits Great Britain… A YouGov poll in July found 16% of Britons surveyed say they have a positive view of him…. That high?

–

–

“I’ve never loved my country more desperately. God Bless America.” Stephen Colbert, accepting his Emmy award.

·

–

RIP Robert Redford. This exchange from “The Way We Were” always stuck with me. Hubbell, “I don’t see how you can do it.” Katie “And I don’t see how you can’t” Worth watching if you haven’t seen it, or if you have forgotten. Set partly during the McCarthy era…

–


NY Times, once again with a headline that is, to say the least, understated. “In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission President Trump does not subscribe to the traditional notion of being president for all Americans.”

=

MSNBC reporting that ICE came into Hyundai plant with warrants for four Hispanic men. And left with almost 500 handcuffed & shackled South Korean men. Men now complaining about really bad treatment… Why would ANY foreign government consider building a plant now in USA?

So are any of the big law firms who genuflected before Velveeta Voldemort now being asked to donate legal services to his efforts to sue the NY Times? Asking for a country who would really like to see the release of the Epstein files.

–

Molly Ivins was one of my heroes. While liberal she believed in free speech. Left half her estate to the ACLU.

Can still remember meeting her in 1993 at Printer’s Ink in Palo Alto and hearing her say “Ya’ll think free speech is easy. It’s not. If you believe in it you have to believe in free speech for Skokie neoNazis.”

–

Trump fundraising email today:

“The Radical Left wants one thing & one thing only: TO IMPEACH ME AND REMOVE ME FROM OFFICE LIKE A DOG!”

1. Liberals want many things, healthcare, education, vaccines, food security, clean air/water etc…

2. But on a simpler note, he uses “dog” like it’s a slur.

–

Meanwhile, over in England, Queen Camilla just said she is sick and is avoiding meeting Donald, leaving the duty to her husband.

We are all Camilla.

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…

Plus ca change…

July 20, 2025

Four days off and the post-All Star break SF Giants look a lot like the pre-All Star Break SF Giants.

Friday 0-9 with runners in scoring position…

As a few people said,Friday – 11 hits no runs, they scored as many runs today as they scored all week..

And then Saturday 3 runs on 3 hits.

Silver lining about the Toronto Blue Jays wins over SF Giants. In the AL East, the Blue Jays are leading the NY Yankees.

Due to a provision in Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal, many visitors including tourists to the United States will now have to pay a “visa integrity fee,” of $250.00. There are exemptions for Canada and countries in the Visa Waiver Program (which includes much of Europe, some countries in Asia, Australia and New Zealand..) And Qatar (thanks for the plane)

Hardest hit… visitors from Africa and South America. Just in time for the Olympics and the World Cup.

–

And folks, does anyone think US travelers won’t face reciprocal fees? Or hassles?

–

Fox News obsesses on daily basis in headlines about whether Biden’s signatures as President were faked. But while Epstein birthday card is biggest political story of the week they won’t even touch subject, even to question if it’s real. (More confirmation that Donald wrote it.)

–

Whatever you think of Rupert Murdoch, the man is not stupid. Does anyone think Murdoch doesn’t have receipts?

–

Daily Mail reporting “Bill Clinton wrote ‘warm & gushing’ letter included in Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 50th ‘birthday book.” If files show Clinton guilty of being a client, as long-time supporter of the ex-President, will say Bill should go to prison. Sad but not difficult

–

Trump has filed a lawsuit against the WSJ over the Epstein Birthday card… Discovery is gonna be a b*tch.

–

CNN sanewashing CBS on cancelling Colbert Late Show “It was an “agonizing decision.”

CBS insiders insist that the move was financially driven, not politically motivated. And anyone believes the network of Jake Tapper & Scott Jennings why?

–

Just a thought If we all tune in and help Stephen Colbert’s ratings skyrocket from now until May (while avoiding CBS otherwise), it may not change the network’s craven mind.

But it might convince another network to pick The Late Show up.

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!

Rich get richer

May 22, 2025

Nothing against the Knicks but seeing how much ESPN, the NBA and most media are rooting for New York in the finals, got to be cheering for the Pacers. Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Minneapolis together don’t quite have 2 million population.

–

The 10 FBS commissioners & Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua, the CFP’s management committee, said they are moving to a straight playoff seeding model this fall, giving the committee’s top four teams the top four seeds and a first-round bye. (Instead of giving those spots to the four top ranked conference winners.)

The change benefits Notre Dame and the SEC. What took them so long?

–

Colorado Rockies have fallen to 8-42 — now the worst start of a year since 1895.

Watching the headlines since January 20, 2025, is it time to name the Rockies “America’s team?”

Why are media going so hard now against Biden?

Seems to me answer is simple: Their normalizing Trump & both-sides-ism last year really helped Donald get reelected. Easier to blame Joe than to accept blame for the disaster for America that is Velveeta Voldemort’s second term.

–

Trump plays a faked video and lies about white Genocide in South Africa. Posting pictures from the Congo as being in South African among other things.

Meanwhile Fox Faux News presents this all as fact. “HAPPENING NOW: Trump confronts South African president with video on treatment of White farmers.”

State TV has arrived.

–

As GOP goes nuclear on the filibuster to pass a law against California’s Clean Air act, imagine how they’ll react if when Democrats get power again Senate dems use the same trick to go after, for example, red-state anti-abortion laws?

–

Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn’t save lives.

Many poor women not only won’t be able to get birth control, or STD testing, they won’t get wellness checks or cancer screenings. & if women get pregnant, GOP just made it harder for them to get Medicaid & SNAP. Pro life my ass

–

For purposes of Medicaid/SNAP work requirement GOP is dropping age of dependent children whose parents must work to 7. Yes, seven. Of course if you leave a seven year old home alone or even let them walk home from school alone you’ll probably be arrested for child endangerment.

–

If you needed any more proof of how awful Jake Tapper’s book is, Press Secretary Barbie (AKA Caroline Leavitt was praising it today.

–

Meanwhile CNN increasingly focuses less on news and more on hyping their colleague’s book. They’re going to need to change their name from CNN to CCN – Change Channel Network

–

Should be a bigger story.

Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner, who was only 70, passed away, March 2. Greg Abbott refused to call a special election until Nov 4, so district will not have a representative for most of 2025. GOP & Trump’s bloated ugly bill passed by ONE vote.-

–

Supposedly this bill from hell has $1000 for babies born to US Citizens going into “Trump accounts.” To encourage people having babies. ” The average cost of infant care in the US is over $1000 for ONE MONTH.

–

Colorado Democratic Rep Joe Neguse makes simple point on bill hearing that started at 1am. What’s the urgency that it couldn’t have started at 6a, 7a? The only reason to debate this Bloated Ugly bill in middle of the night is that GOP hopes Americans never find out what they are doing.

–

GOP Press conference boasting about the big ugly bill they passed by one vote looks like a polar bear conference, only whiter.

Both March Madness final fours are set.

And U Conn, a #2 seed, is the closest thing to a Cinderella left in the tournament.

All four mens teams and three of the other four women’s teams are #1 seeds.

–

Owner John Fisher could have had the As play in Oakland until if and when the Las Vegas stadium is built. Instead, he insisted the team move to the 14,000 capacity Sutter Heath Field in Sacramento.

Where it will be triple digit temperatures for much of the summer.

In a likely metaphor for the season, the A’s lost their season home opener, 18 to 3.

–

Hey Green Bay Wisconsin. No billionaire could pay you enough to root against the Packers. Why would you let a billionaire buy your Supreme Court vote?

–

Serious thought. Can believe Trump absolutely has no plans to leave the White House after his second term. But if he has dementia, as his father did, it will get worse and impossible to ignore before 2028. Then what?

Media: Democrats really need to do a better job of getting their message out.

Also media: Oooh, Velveeta Voldemort or his top campaign donor said something insane, let’s devote all our airtime/space to covering it.

Chris Murphy and Andy Kim (so far) joining Cory Booker tonight on Senate floor as Senator Booker continues his speech into the night to protest Trump/Doge administration policies. It’s not that we don’t have good Democratic leaders. But they don’t get the coverage that the other side’s crazies get.

–

Cory Booker’s been speaking for over 7 hrs & he’s doing far better job of explaining why Social Security is NOT a Ponzi scheme than Musk does at any time lying about it. Put simply, Booker is explaining how every insurance needs adjustments. & changes needed would be negligible.

One #10 seed left.- Arkansas

But sure looks like Cinderella took an Uber home early from this year’s NCAA March Madness.

–

Derik Queen with the biggest buzzer beater shot of the NCAA tournament.

It won the game for his home state school of Maryland to beat Colorado State 72-21.

When Queen was asked postgame “Where does that confidence come from? “I’m from Baltimore, that’s why.”

–

Who says there’s no good news these days. Coach Rick Pitino’s team was upset and is out of the NCAA tournament.

–

ACA’s 15th anniversary today. If you’re 26 or younger & on your parents’ healthcare. Or if your children or grandchildren or friends or friends of friends are 26 or younger and still on parents’ healthcare. Thank Democrats & President Obama!

–

Same MAGA trolls telling us Americans have nothing to worry about with Medicaid /Medicare are the same ones that told us Project 2025 was a myth and immigrants in the US legally could stay here.

Trump buddy Steve Witkoff on Ukraine: “There’s a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories,. I just don’t see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe … I take him as his word.”


Remember when we thought George W Bush’s comment about Putin “I looked into his eyes and got a sense of his soul” was as bad as it could be?

–

Trumpty Dumpty is actually soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll. No grift too small.

–

The Pentagon just announced leak probe that will include polygraphs. While they’re at it how about a polygraph for Secretary Hegseth about his sister-in-law’s and others’ accusations?

–

Fox News seldom covers anything that makes Democrats look good, But if you want to know when Donald & his biggest campaign donor have really gone too far,, look for what they don’t cover. Like tonight, no mention on Fox website about JD attacking Denmark as “not a good ally.”,

Falling fast

March 4, 2025

A former three-time Russian Olympic champion wrestler who became a lawmaker was just found dead in Moscow after reportedly falling out of a window.


How long until people start falling out of buildings in Moscow on the Potomac?

–
We are actually 2 weeks away from Opening Day as MLB has the Dodgers and Cubs opening in Tokyo on March 18. Guess they figured, anyone who can afford Dodgers tickets this year especially can afford to fly to Japan.

(Opening day prices in Tokyo rival the Super Bowl, maybe higher.)

–

-Melania Trump decided to come out of hiding to to organize a roundtable about a bipartisan anti AI deep fake porn bill, and called out low Democrat attendance.

Spare me the performative BS . Maybe FLOTUS should ask her husband and President Musk why he CUT the bill, actually cosponsored by odd couple Amy Klobuchar and Ted Cruz, out of the 2024 budget bill when it was originally included with bipartisan support.

Maybe because Twitter makes a lot of money on porn? Or was he just being a d*ck.

–

Meanwhile the cost of servicing President Non-Elect Musk, who is now riding on Air Force One with his child-prop-du-jour, and staying in the White House, is so much more than many of the life-saving programs that he has cut.

–

Some of RFK Jr’s disciples are saying why do we need measles vaccines even if the disease returns because most children survived measles before the vaccine existed.

For that matter, many of us survived growing up in the era before seat belts and drove long distances with our parents while bouncing around in the back seats. So should we get rid of seat belts too?

–

RFK Jr. “The decision to vaccinate is a personal one.” Wonder what would happen if when pulled over for driving 100 mph you told a police officer – the decision to obey speed limits is a personal one?.

–

If Democrats want to spend a couple hours focused on Russian oligarchs Tuesday night maybe they should skip the State of the Union and go see Anora.

–


Meanwhile, has Velveeta Voldemort said a word about the fires in South Carolina yet?

–

Democrats warned us over & over again in 2024. Trump is Project 2025.

American voters elected Donald & GOP majority in Congress. And they w/ President Musk are enacting Project 2025.

Now voters are screaming at Democrats to “do something.”

When the something WE should have done was vote blue.

Who’s keeping score?

February 27, 2025

NY pitcher Nestor Cortes now says that the Yankees were ‘Better Team’ in their 2024 World Series loss.

What’s next…. “The Yankees would have won if only Mike Pence had had the courage?”

–

In a NFLPA survey, NY Jets players gave owner Woody Johnson an F grade.

Why an F? Because they didn’t have the option for a G?

–

WTAF? Trump just said. No other country in the world does mail in voting.

Uh, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Poland, S. Korea, Switzerland, Australia, & the United Kingdom. And I might have missed some. No lie too small.

–

Rachel Maddow tonight talks about marmots which carry deadly bubonic plague. Even Russia banned hunting them… And Rachel found video of Donny Jr. hunting eating them – admitting “it’s kind of contrabandy.” Well, maybe Jr should host a wildlife dinner for some dad’s friends.

Rmembering early days of COVID in Florida when governor Ron DeSantis hid many COVID deaths by ascribing them to other causes. What excuses will President Musk & VP Trump use to describe deaths from being unvaccinated. Or from not getting lifesaving services that DOGE is cutting?

–

If a child is killed by an undocumented immigrant Fox News and GOP members of Congress will make their death front page news for weeks, if not longer. An unvaccinated child dies from measles in Texas, and Fox & GOP pretend that child never existed.

–

Grok is Twitter’s own AI And this from last night: “During a House Oversight Committee meeting, tensions escalated when Representative Maxwell Frost called former President Donald Trump a ‘grifter,’

“Former?”

–

Not a joke Sean Spicer posted today the White House is taking control from the White House Correspondents Association as far as the press pool because the WHCA invited a “Trump hating comedian” to their annual dinner.

Thinnest-skinned baby-man President ever.

–


JD Vance actually said Trump “chooses his words” carefully. Read that and almost spit out my covfefe.

–

21 DOGE employees resign en masse in protest “We will not use our skills to compromise core government services.” Translation. They think Leon is TRYING to compromise core government services.


Marge Three Names just said “federal employees do not deserve their paycheck.” Well, there’s one federal employee in Georgia’s 14th congressional district who does not deserve her $174,000 paycheck.

–

Trump says he will sell citizenships for $5 million to foreigners as a “gold card” version of a green card. So what if some Democratic billionaires decide to donate money to buy citizenships for liberal resisters around the world? Asking for a country.

–

In hopes of lowering egg prices, USDA now says they will spend $100 million for research into vaccines and therapeutics for U.S. chicken flocks. So Trump wants to vaccinate chickens, but children be damned? Very on brand.

Cold comfort

January 17, 2024

Jerry Jones is a Trump supporter. Has the Cowboys owner filed to overturn the score of the Dallas game against the Green Bay Packers yet?

Donald Trump got 56,260 total votes Monday night in Iowa.

To put this in perspective, 70,040 fans showed up in worse conditions in Buffalo for a football game. #BillsMafia

–

Rachel Maddow is a Stanford University graduate with a PhD from Oxford. Sean Hannity didn’t graduate from NYU and has an honorary degree from Liberty University. And Hannity called Maddow a “make believe journalist.” Wow. Is Sean auditioning to host SNL?

–

Nikki Haley, 3rd in Iowa, pulled out of next GOP debate next week with Ron DeSantis, saying her next debate will only be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden

Ron DeSantis fired back. “The reality is that she is not running for the nomination, she’s running to be Trump’s VP.”

I cannot stand DeSantis, but even a stopped clock…

–


Meanwhile Shouldn’t Dean Phillips’ 15 minutes be over? #DropOutDean

–

And in Florida, where Governor DeSants hasn’t been for most of the last year, Democrat Tom Keen flipped what had been a Republican seat in Central Florida in a special election held Tuesday for state House District 35. 

Wait, what? Just saw this tonight. “Bipartisan tax deal to expand child tax credit.” From Dem Sen. Ron Wyden & GOP Rep. Jason Smith -“Tax Relief for American Families & Workers Act of 2024.”” Seems like much bigger deal than circus in Iowa.

–

Love local newspapers, but some papers we only want short-term, for vacations, politics, sports, etc. Wish there was option, $5-10-25 dollars or so to sign up for month, without automatic renewal which can be maddening.. I for one would be happy to give local paper that money.

Frosted

December 29, 2023

Forget the controversial CFB Playoff this season. We have a clear (and sweet) bowl winner.

So when Kansas State got that last touchdown to go ahead nine with less than three minutes to go did a Pop Tarts Bowl announcer say that North Carolina State was toasted? #PopTartsBowl

–

Okay,who had Rutgers being the only New York City area football team not only in the postseason but also with a win? Now all you liars put your hands down. #PinstripeBowl

–

Okay, who’s going to write the headline? “Nikki Haley’s candidacy, Gone with the Wind.”

–

Why are we surprised Nikki Haley responded: ““What do you want me to say about slavery?” Her entire weathervane campaign is “What do you want me to say about everything?”

–

But seriously, running for President is exhausting & hard. Even great candidates can forget names & have verbal stumbles, often with no chance to recover.

Which makes Nikki Haley’s slavery statements so awful. She got 2nd chance, then 3rd. And just made it worse.

When someone tells you who they are….

–

Senator Tom Cotton actually tweeted today “Civil War started because Americans elected anti-slavery Republican & Democrats revolted…” In 2020 he called slavery “necessary evil upon which the union was built.” He’s a Harvard grad. Cotton is not stupid, but he thinks voters are.

–

Some said if pro-Palestine protesters really WANTED to lose sympathy of New Yorkers they couldn’t have done much more than make it impossible for travelers & workers to get to JFK Airport after Christmas. And today they block entrance & exits to the World Trade Center Memorial..
