The MLB league championship games both feature hard luck teams who are nonetheless easy to root for. The Seattle Mariners (playing the Blue Jays tonight) have never been to the World Series. The Milwaukee Brewers (playing the Dodgers tomorrow) have been to the big dance only once, in 1982, and lost

Please stop . Please, my dear friends, please please NEVER start a post with “I never thought I would agree” with Fucker Carlson, or with Marjorie Taliban Greene or Charlie Kirk or any monster of that kind. Don’t fall for it. I don’t care if Laura Loomer likes puppies. Don’t fall into that trap.

If there’s one thing Trimp has shown us, there is absolutely no connection between getting awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and be deserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I’ve seen this in several different places, and all I can say is that I wish I came up with it first; it’s brilliant. Anyway … RFK Jr.’s wife, the actress Cheryl Hines, should now be referred to as the Marvelous Mrs. Measles.

Here’s a shocker: sources say Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst will NOT seek reelection next year. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Republican Sen. Joni Ernst won't seek re-election in Iowa in 2026
The two-term Republican had faced criticism from the right for wavering over Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth to lead the Defense Department. She was first elected to the Senate in 2014.

No accountability for anything. The courts are in his pocket. Congress is in his pocket. They’re all scared shitless of him. He lies and lies and lies and gets away with everything. I hated the thought of a military coup in “Seven Days in May” but now I’m not so sure.

Kamala Harris says she will not run for governor of California next year. Meanwhile, the last vice president to run for president, lose, and then seek the California governorship? Richard Nixon, 1962.

Not sure what the point is anymore. The whole thing is a freaking joke. At least George W. knew that Harriet Miers was a mistake. Why not put Barron on the court next? Where were the profiles in courage everyone saw in Thom Tillis and Mitch McConnell? The whole process is just bullshit.

The thought that Justice Department lawyers, all of whom owe their loyalty not to the Constitution but to Trimp, are meeting privately with Ghislaine Maxwell is absolutely astonishing.

Connie Francis, the pop singer from the ‘50s whose most romantic song, by far, was “Nixon’s the One!,” died today. She was 87.

I think every reporter should show up wearing baseball caps at presidential news conferences. They could be good-natured ones, like “I Love New York” or “Is He Dead Yet?” Since they get barked at for every question Herr Trimp doesn’t like, they might as well have some fun on the job.

An honest question here. Why, given the fact that Iran already tipped off the US that it would retaliate, would Trimp mock Tehran for its “very weak” retaliation? If Iran were planning to do damage, it wouldn’t inform the US in advance. But we know Iran had to do something. So why the taunting?

I am never in favor of war and fear for American casualties, but I have to say I have more confidence knowing that Pete Hegseth, Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam are running the Pentagon.

I ordinarily wouldn’t have had a rooting interest between Indiana and OKC in tonight’s NBA Game 7. This, however, helped me decide.
