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.

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..
