Watching the OKC Thunder game last night and I realized that I didn't recognize the name of a single player on the entire team. Never heard of any of them despite their having the best record in the Western Conference. They also have a "Love's" patch on their uniforms. That apparently is a...

Local news story description of this event including apparent surprise that they could not identify the person or understand what they "represent": "A Ring camera captured the eerie scene on East 10th Avenue in North York Borough on Tuesday. The person leans into the camera, tilts their head...

I think the trade problem is real. Other countries have unfair trading practices that put US exports at a disadvantage. The problem is that they know they can counter any US tariffs with their own tariffs and create short term havoc to counter Trump's bluff. So far Trump hasn't had the...

Headlines like that in the LA Times today that "fewer than 20% give LA Mayor Bass high marks for fire response." Who exactly are these 20% that are giving her "high marks"? The city practically burned to the ground while she was on some foreign trip that had nothing to do with her job. The...

The stock market crashing. A brutal couple of weeks. All self-inflicted for no apparent reason.

Expectations must be really low in Beantown if a regular season win at home is cause for that much excitement. The Lakers rolled Boston by 20+ in LA. So they are 1-1. Boston is shooting more threes than any team in NBA history. Not a recipe for success in the playoffs. The East has only one...

Our first 70-degree day is coming up this week. Those first Spring days after months of cold and misery are always welcome.

What has gone on with legal and political system to circumvent the law when it comes to the death penalty is a shame. The delays are endless and in most instances the death sentence is never carried out. That circumvents the will of the people, legislature, and judicial system that impose the...

The Berlin series was one of my favorites. A lot of gaps that could be filled. Henrici, Weidling, Schorner, Mohnke, Fegelein, Georg Diers last King Tiger. Hitler's final birthday party would make a great set.

ESPN paying commentator Stephen A. Smith $100 million. Good grief. Does Smith generate $100 million in profit for ESPN? He can be amusing with his over-the-top takes but that is ridiculous. No wonder ESPN is going under.

Those astronauts who have been stuck in space for months with no end in sight must be going nuts. I'm not sure I would be in a rush to be rescued in one of those Space X rockets that keep blowing up, though.

The 49ers are offering Purdy $45 million per year after his recent mediocre season. And that is apparently a beginning offer. He likely ends up with more. That's unreal. I would almost never resign a QB to a long-term deal after their rookie contract expires. Draft one every five years or so.

LeBron broke the 50K points scored mark last night. No one else has scored more than 40K. Love the guy or hate him, that's a big accomplishment. Meanwhile Ovechkin is closing in on Gretzky's goal scoring record.

There may be reason to be cynical when the government reports numbers that are favorable to their own administration. However, when they are self-reporting unfavorable numbers, then there is a problem. It's their own appointees who are putting the report together. Immigration is one area...

I don't believe this is a study anyone is conducting but a governmental report under the Trump administration. You don't find the initial results disappointing in comparison to the campaign promises and rhetoric? Even making allowances for exaggeration between campaign promises and results, it...

I saw this today. Mind blowing given the campaign rhetoric. WASHINGTON, Feb 21 - U.S. President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and...

My state of the union report card after a month (granted it's still early and there is hope for improvement): Immigration = D- (not only no mass deportations but apparently a complete bust and not a priority despite the campaign rhetoric. I didn't give it an F only because Noem looked great in...

More government shutdown hysteria is coming in the next couple of weeks. Congress fails to ever pass a budget ahead of the deadline. The media goes into fearmongering as the deadline approaches. At the last minute, every member of Congress will dump their pet pork spending into the budget...

The return of disgraced NY Governor Andrew Cuomo to politics. Is there no getting rid of these lifelong politicians? His incompetence was responsible for countless COVID deaths in NY by forcing nursing home to accept people with COVID and then covering up the consequences.

Sounds like Pete Rose is getting a pardon and then reinstated by MLB in the near future. HOF just around the corner. I think that is the correct decision. He suffered plenty for whatever he did back in the day. Now that MLB and every other sport has sold out to the gambling industry, it...
