NOAA is preparing for an unusually severe hurricane season by funding an emergency edition of The Old Farmers Almanac

MAGAts like Scott Jennings argue that "illegals" can be sent to the foulest prisons anywhere on Earth "because they broke the law" entering the U.S. illegally. And jaywalkers in New York can be sent to Riker's Island, I suppose. They entered the U.S. looking for a better life for their families.

Jake Tapper's "Kick him while he's down" panel discussion about Joe Biden featuring Scott Jennings was the lowest of low points ever for CNN. Fuck 'em.

Between Scott Jennings and Jake Tapper, CNN is cornering the market on supercilious sneering. But Tapper has the edge because he incorporates the Tucker Carlsen head tilt.

Gavin Newsom has always been a Chamber of Commerce /Sierra Club type phony liberal. Watch him sell out California values in his push for the 2028 Presidential nomination. bit.ly/4dkZ5Vl

Jake Tapper has written a book that will be well promoted by FOX News and snapped up by every MAGA turd around. It will make him wealthy enough to retire from screeching at CNN and spend his days with a basket full of deplorable Philly fans watching his team go in the tank as usual.

GET OFF IT, YOUSE GUYS. Joe Biden gained high marks for his governance from political and economic pundits alike. He either was a) physically aging but mentally fit enough to make sound decisions or b) astute enough to surround himself with people who could. Compare him with the POS we've got now.

When T-Rump decided to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" I suggested that the "Gulf of the Americas" would be a better choice because we aren't the only America on the block. The ascendancy of Lima Leo to the papacy reinforced my opinion.

Bill Maher says the increased use of George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words by politicians is proof they are serious about their positions. I disagree. I will be convinced that they are serious about their positions when they get into fistfights, like they do in legislatures in Taiwan and other places.

A reminder to hopeful (Popeful?) White Sox fans that when Jesus Alou was brought up by the SF Giants in September 1963, joining his older brothers, the headline in the SF Chroonicle Sporting Green read "EVEN JESUS CANNOT SAVE THE GIANTS."

Exporting the unwanted is not a new concept, and in fact was important in building America. Georgia got the criminals and, fortunate for us, California got the hookers.

Politicians: Please stop saying "Not my hill to die on" or I will find one for you.

One wonders if Book-of-the-Month Jake Tapper's jumping on the sleazy "Biden Was a Basket Case" canard bandwagon is actually a CNN/AI joint effort to attract more MAGA eyeballs to their site, in case Scott Jennings isn't pretty emough.

Gee whiz, I love Canada!

TRADE WAR (baby pandas grow up, Elon)

Its May 1. Hit it, Arturo! youtu.be/2OPvWFDzDlA?...

The Giants have come from 2 or more runs behind to win 10 times already his season, but NEVER will you see a walk-off run like this. youtube.com/shorts/kOD7I...

Trump has lately trumpeted his concern for the needless deaths of "beautiful, young" people of Russia and Ukraine, with their *literally* Caucasian population bases, while not shedding a tear for condemning millions of Africans to death by withholding AIDS treatment. No Peace Prize for you, bub.

Sometimes you wait for the punchline and it never comes.

Are we there yet?

I'm hearing that the increasingly popular Mar-a-Lago botox lip enhancement procedure is known as a "Monica."

152 years ago today. Is the Colfax Massacre the deja we are ready to vu again? bit.ly/3XVTgHj

What about those of us who have been permanently banned from Twitter?

Frontrunner anti-Chinese sentiment is mostly Jingoism laced with racism. "Economic Domination" is on the U.S.'s front burner too, and "Soft Power" is what USAID was all about until we tanked it. Trump has turned the 21st Century over to China. Live with it.

Joke from my childhood: "Why did Little Moron hit his head with a hammer?" "Because it felt so good when he stopped." We now have Big Moron in the White House.

Did Jake Tapper just refer to California and New York as "battleground states"?

Giants had the best Spring training record in all of baseball, and are off to a 7-1 start. Must be taken seriously. BEAT LA!

Qing Ming, April 5, 1995, Shitangwan,Jiangsu, China. One of these things is not like the others.

Hackneyed phrase of the week: "Call balls and strikes."

Volkswagen was commissioned by Hitler as "the peoples' car." What goes around sometimes comes around from a different direction.

The damage Norquist's Proposition 13 scam did to California's schools and public services is a portent of what T-Rump and Mush's Procrustean bed will do on a national scale.

Somebody tell Chuck Rocha to LOSE THE SILLY HAT if he wants to be taken seriously. A newsroom is not the place for cosplay.

IT'S A NO-BRAINER: Greenland should become part of Canada.
