I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

How ‘bout it LA? Boycott game 47. Looks like it’s Sunday, May 18 vs LAA, barring rainouts, etc.
I am a lifelong Dodgers fan but would support an organized boycott of the Dodgers’ 47th home game as an appropriate fan response. This president hates LA and the west coast. His admin even tried to erase Jackie Robinson’s legacy from DoD websites. Go play a game of catch with your kid instead.

ADL: Anyone wearing a keffiyeh and waving a Palestinian flag supports Hamas and is a potential anti-semitic terrorist funded by Iran.
Also ADL: Elon Musk isn't doing a Nazi salute. He just made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm. Calm down, people. Nobody's perfect!

Justin Verlander continues the tradition of Cooperstown-bound, 40+ pitching legends joining the Giants — like Warren Spahn (1965), Steve Carlton (1986) and Randy Johnson (2009). Carlton got his 4000th K for SF, and Johnson his 300th win.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:
If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

You morons, you can't repeat the Gilded Age. That's not how history works--it only goes in one direction. Now let me take a big sip of coffee and make sure no nihilistic young Italians have built homemade weapons with which to assassinate robber barons.
