There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Dawn Staley.

While I don’t believe taking Ukraine‘s minerals is something the US should do, I never believed that Trump was serious about it. My reasoning is simple: Trump works for Putin, and why would Putin want the US to get Ukraine’s minerals when he’s intent on taking Ukraine for himself?

For 10 years, I’ve heard people say not to attack Trump voters. Supposedly, it’s not about them and we should focus on Trump. I disagree. Trump isn’t Trump without his voters. Being conciliatory with them has not worked. They need to face consequences; written and verbal, at the very least.

So many Trump supporters are waking up to what Trump really is about. Ironically, in a way, they’re becoming woke. 

Here’s my thoughts on this DOGE mess: I’m willing to bet a substantial amount of money that, when it’s all said and done, the deficit won’t be reduced by a single penny and no one, except for perhaps the very rich, will have their taxes go down at all.

Mayor Eglses thinks this is her parade

Jake Elliot had a rough year, but my gosh he kicked the hell out of the ball tonight. Great career. Second ring. I’m so happy for him.

One of the many things I’ve learned in the last few years: Christian Fundamentalism is an asshole religion. It’s a religion that produces assholes. Not as an exception; as the norm.

Sixers stats of the game: Embiid had a triple double: 29/10/11 Maxey had 33/13/4 But their +/-? In a 1 point game, Maxey was +17 while Embiid was -12.

I’m so sick of hearing about how this or that Trump is doing is unconstitutional. It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care, and neither does Musk. They’re going to do whatever the hell they want to do until the system and/or other powerful people stop them.

The Sixers L tonight was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s no surprise that the Celtics got hot, but the Sixers completely fell apart, Nurse did nothing about it, and Maxey quit on the team. Between the 4Q of this game and the last two plays of the Nuggets game, I have no idea what’s going on.

I honestly wonder if part of the reason the Sixers turned it on is because they felt disrespected by Bronny coming off the bench so early?

This sure seems very early in the game for the Lakers to bring their worst player, #Bronny, off the bench. Gee, I wonder how things went for the Lakers after this?

If you overlook the fact that the Sixers are a terrible defensive team, a terrible rebounding team, near the bottom of the league is assists, and turn the ball over too much, they’re actually a pretty decent team. 

Tonight‘s game doesn’t change the fact that the Sixers suck, but damn that was a fun game to watch. Thanks, Sixers, I really needed that. 

In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter.

How long until #MikeLindell and #RudyGiuliani have to move in together to split the rent?

#Trumpers in 2020: you claim you care about #immigrants, but you don’t have any living in your home, so you’re a liar Trumpers in 2024: if you have any immigrants living in your home, we will arrest you

I mean, I don’t know how much more obvious it needs to be that Trump is an enemy of the US. It’s not that he’s insane; is that he’s actively trying to hurt the country and almost certainly working at the behest of our enemies. Speaking just for myself, that’s been obvious for close to a decade.

It seems to me that Nate Leupp and Adam Morgan might be the Joel Greenberg and Matt Gaetz of Greenville Counry politics.

The easiest way to tell that someone is not patriotic is if they call themselves a patriot.
