If only we could have seen any of this coming! (SARCASM ALERT).
These insulting and deeply unserious nominations overshadow the intent to destroy the government.
And the media is absolutely failing once again to sound the alarm.
They’re too busy gaslighting us over why Kamala lost.

My friend’s husband who leans more conservative was shocked to learn that I know “reasonable” (non-socialist) New Yorkers who could not vote for Cuomo and voted for Mamdani. SHOCKED!

Being in NYC and Long Island this week is interesting. I’m absolutely dumbfounded by the discourse I’m hearing about the mayoral race. There is little to no mention of Cuomo as a truly despicable and vile candidate that many could not support. You cannot talk about the Mamdani win without this.

I will say it again, the best part about Prop 50 is that California did it with the power and the confidence of its people.
Texas did it in secret, away from public view and from the orders of the thug rapist in the Oval.
Fair maps for all, until we have a Congress that represents all of us.

When I left here last Wednesday night, the Dodgers were down 3-2 and I really didn’t know if I’d be back here before next season.

Moved my therapy session to tonight due to Game 6.
Therapist: "Hi Amanda! How about those Dodgers? Congratulations! What a series!"
Me: "Yes! They won and all my problems are gone! I have no more stress or anxiety! See you next week!"
If only it really were that simple.

Dodgers saving Will Smith through the season (with Rushing) and then him getting injured in September saved his legs for the epic performance and allowed him to catch all 73 innings.

Doc kept putting Scott out there so the Dodgers wouldn’t have home field advantage in the World Series because bizarrely that is a *disadvantage* recently. Truly the master of the long game!
