Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

It feels like there is a game of musical chairs happening with head coach openings in the NFL and the Raiders seem to be late to finding the chair. #RaiderNation

Watching intros from Golden State and wow, do we have it good in PDX. Blazers intro video and presentation is so much better. Now let’s have a great game! #RipCity

The Steelers have had 4 head coaches since 1969. Meanwhile, the Raiders have had 4 head coaches since… 2021! CAN WE PLEASE HIRE A COACH TO TURN IT AROUND?!?!? #RaiderNation

Anyone who was alive in the 60s and 70s will agree that we are hearing echoes of the Kent State massacre. How long before we have multiple ICE “officers” shooting into a crowd of protesters? Conflicts are escalating and ICE is already trigger happy.

A few thoughts on tonight’s game: The Blazers made a lot of free throws at end of the game. Very clutch. Donavan had 15 rebounds! Dang! And that lob from Shae to Sidy near the end was electric! #RipCity

I applied for SS benefits in October, the earliest I could apply, hoping the decision would be done and ready for my first payment at full retirement. Well, no word on approval that is said to take 30 days. Why? Because there are not enough employees to process the data. Government efficiency? No.

This game is making me crazy. A combo of foul call imbalance, lazy passing and leaving bench players open on the baseline got me yelling at my tv. Cmon, Blazers! #RipCity

I have to admit, I did not like the NBC broadcast last night… at first. But after I listened to a half, I started to appreciate it for what it was - an innovative approach to broadcasting the NBA. I started to enjoy the banter between former ballers. #RipCity
