Trump ordering signs outside of the Smithsonian to tell people that slavery wasn't that bad. I don't think anybody sees that sign and walks into the museum and thinks seriously about that sign but the idea that tourist will see that sign and think what they assume it means for all Americans. I am so ready to not be embarrassed by my country again

LeBron ending up in Philadelphia wasn't a total surprise as it certainly offers him a landing spot on a team that came with the most talent. This is a contract with $8mlllion hit so they add talent at the cost of a role player. If he's ready to be the third option on a team and somehow take them to the promised land, the entire world would think differently of him. He's never not been about Team LeBron, so this will show if he's ready to be LeBron on a team

Having just watched The Odyssey, it got me to thinking that as silly as it sounds that these guys were all following the divine teachings of Apollo and Poseidon and why they worshipped certain seasons and objects. It all sounds crazy but honestly how much more crazy is that then a child born from the Virgin who was walking around the levant making random miracles, a burning bush on some mountain taking to an old man or some random 72 virgins waiting for me on the other side I'm to the point where all of this seems equal in their level of fantasy. Maybe next time I'm asked for my religion and I tell them I worship at the temple of Zeus

Nearly two decades ago we all waited with bated breath for The Decision but now it's as if nobody cares. Maybe we're just past LeBron, maybe as a Knick fan it just doesn't move the needle or maybe it's just time to go away. We know he can still play but holding the NBA hostage for these stupid made for TV things turns you from a media darling to a villain for the 2nd or 3rd time. Just go away.

Here I was planning on having a picnic in the New Jersey Transit bathroom but I find out that both paper towels and cups are strictly forbidden. I'm not sure how they enforce this unless somebody pays me down to make sure that's not a Dixie cup in my pants and not sure what they would do if I was caught. Maybe they'd take away my bus pass or make me stand on the bus for a hour into midtown through the Lincoln Tunnel during rush hour

We've lost two servicemen, we've had dozens other injured, we've lost our standing in the world and soon we are going to lose our FIFA peace prize because the price of gas is going to spike. We are down to a bare minimum in our reserves and every time we get these interruptions I feel like we are just about to blow up our economy. But the good news is we have those Epstein files deep and buried.

Trump staying on the stage after the conclusion of the World Cup is exactly what you'd expect out of an elderly uncle going through Alzheimer's who is lost and confused when he shows up somewhere But his action is more megalomaniacal than pure cognitive decline as he needs everything to revolve around him. God forbid he lets the champs have a moment without him stomping all over their moment with his mismatched jacket and pants after he soiled his first pair and his orange complexion but I guess this is what you deserve as the FIFA world peace winner.

Watching the 3rd place game today felt like watching the NBA all start game. No defense, unlimited scoring and the best player in the world just going crazy and although fun, there just isn't a good reason to have this game as it makes a mockery of the game and skews the stats for the tournament but you can also just get off my lawn

I was anti iceberg lettuce before it was a thing. Mostly because it's got zero nutritional value and tastes like sponge water but more recently try because I won't want to be sitting on the can blowing liquid from my five hole. The world is coming around and now everybody is complaining that they are pissing out of the asses

It's time for Trump to slap some big tariffs onto Canada for all of this wildfire smoke. I walked out of my office and felt like I walked into the back of the plane in 1985. My eyes burned, my throat burned and my nose burned, although maybe this is a good training session in anticipation of my trip to aching

House democrats are finally starting to sound humane after finally starting to push back on Israel. Say what you will, there is no justification to what Israel has done to the Palestinians over the last fe years even if you start only on October 7th. This isn't just Gaza, this is the West Bank and the forgotten Golan Heights. This isn't political, this isn't national and this isn't about security, this is genocidal atrocities committed by a state that we fund.

I am at the point where I don't think anything in politics matters. When Kindsey Graham died, he wasn't replaced by the most capable person but instead by his sister who we assume is likely just as awful as him. She has no qualifications, no political experience and will now stand for seat she didn't run for and the people of South Carolina didn't ask her to take. It's due time that we call a snap election when one of these dinosaurs croaks.

We're at that part of the story when discussing an ICE killing of an unarmed person in broad daylight, it's not unreasonable for somebody to ask "which one are you talking about?" We have become a country which shoots its own citizens for protesting for human rights. We are a country which worships a depraved human as its leader and we are a country where corruption is so rampant that it's just a shrug moment. If we lived anywhere else with that murders row of awfulness, you'd want to get the heck out of dodge.

Lindsey Graham dropping dead wasn't on my bingo card although I will say that I thought he was way older than 71. I'm also sure that he's was poisoned by Putin while in Ukraine a day ago and this isn't some normal old guy dropping dead thing. Graham was an awful human and spent his life being the lapdog of one politician after another and didn't nothing for average Americans. And the proof of life thing for Mitch McConnell is obviously AI generated

Just a few short months ago, vessels could travel through around the gulf without much to worry about and financial markets spent very little time worrying about it. Then we decided to go to war with Iran and now we have to send boats through escorted by half the US Navy. This is what you get when you leave your foreign diplomacy to people who have no desire for stability but instead love a comparing the sizes of their penises.

The fact that the entire Washington establishment isn't pushing for some sign of life from the turtle is biting irresponsible. We know the chances of him being either brain dead or dead dead are frowning by the day and the fact his wife is in China while he's in the hospital is beyond sketchy. All of the bull of random people claiming to have spoken with him has now implicated all of them for blatant lying to the American public as we are completely convinced they are just walking with a stuffed animal.

An explosive diarrhea outbreak is gripping the country right in the middle of the pool season. This is one of many reasons I don't do pools. I'm just not into sitting in warm miss with parasites spreading horrible diarrhea while making small talk with some douchbag investment banker guy in town. .

Graham Platner seemed to be just what the doctor ordered when he first hit the scene but the Nazi tattoos, the physical altercations and the sexting made democrats uncomfortable as they can't get off their moral high horse in order to win elections. But the seemingly credible rape allegations was something that Platner wasn't going to get past and now we are going to be stuck with another 6 years of dinosaur MAGA shill Susan Collins.

The chances of Mitch McConnell's elevator going to the top floor is virtually none. We've seen this guy disintegrate before our eyes with his ever more frequent brain freezes and falls. I'd usually feel bad for some old guy going through dementia but Mitch is a horrid human whose collective memory is already being whitewashed of his politics. There is nobody in this country more at fault for the place we are today than this turtle neck twerp and the fact his wife jetted for China tells you all you need to know where her real loyalties lie

At the end of the day the fact that Balogun played made no difference. The US team came in on their back foot and after back to back goals conceded, never really got back in the game. But this game will be remembered for its lack of offensive creativity, lack of tactical possession by the midfield and judged for a defense that only Whiskey Pete Hegseth could be proud of. Oh yeah, it will also be remembered for the butt fumble level play by our keeper. I've watched almost every knockout game of this World Cup and a lot of the early games too and there was no more lackluster performance than what the USMNT put out there today. Utterly embarrassing

The USMNT is now in a no win situation. If they beat Belgium, everybody will claim they got special treatment after Trump intervened. If they lose, it's just another bitter ending. The red card was bull but having our president strong arm FIFA into a decision no other country would have been given an out on, makes you realize how corrupt this entire body is and Trump played right into it.
