Why would anyone in their right mind purchase a Personal Seat License from a losing team like the Browns? At least Buffalo has a tradition of winning (just not the Super Bowl). This is insanity to expect a fan to pay to watch a bunch of sexually based offenders. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/08...

These strings will be attached to buying personal seat licenses at the new Browns stadium

WTH? The Cavs lost the LeBron sweepstakes again; traded fan favorite Max Strus, and signed Old Man James Harden to a 3 year deal? The big question is will the NBA allow Harden to use a rollator walker with a seat so he can rest in between trips down the court?

I have been trying to get on the SNAP fraud rolls for decades, but there is so much paperwork and redeterminations that it is just not worth it for spare change. I found it is way easier to just work in Congress where you can take months off out of sight and you still get paid for doing nothing.

Brooke Rollins: "We've now moved more than 5m off of the SNAP fraud rolls ... you've got a lot of people moving off the program, which is the goal, at least for conservatives. We don't want to measure the program by how many are on it. We want to measure by how many we are moving to real work."

Are the other talking heads at CNN embarrassed that they effectively trained Jennings to take the job that requires lying to the American people all day and all the time? I would be if I worked there, but he is perfect for the job by the way.

The war on screwworm has only four victims so far, just like the Iran War is the shortest war in American history

In normal times, Darline (sic) Graham and Byron Donalds highest potential elected office would be suburban city council members in places like Lexington, SC (pop 26,000) or Cape Coral, FL (pop 240K), but certainly not running for Governor or the US Senate. Strange times.

Cool, but can we get back to you hiding in a food cart because you were afraid of a different country that has also been our enemy for over 40 years?

Trump: "I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un ... I didn't like the fact that we're doing these massive military exercises really against North Korea when I'm friendly with him."

Here is the problem with this story & @npr.org in general. They give the US debt story with "he said, she said" treatment, but never really take a position. There are facts (growth of debt during the Trump regime and some basic accounting) that could settle the debate. www.npr.org/2026/08/19/n...

The U.S. debt tops a record-shattering $40 trillion. Yes, with a T.

The federal debt reached $40 trillion as the government adds red ink at a rapid rate. That's leading nervous investors to demand higher interest rates —pushing up borrowing costs for everyone else.

I tried the same strategy at my last job interview for Chief Financial Officer of a big non-profit agency. I told them that numbers and spreadsheets were not really my thing. I was surprised to not be asked back for a second interview. Weird, next time I will say, "In the words of Darline Graham..."

I’ve never seen a senator say during a debate, “I’m not that informed on national security. ... National security is not my thing.” Darline Graham added that she’s not “a polished politician,” but that didn’t help, either: A candidate need not be polished to be informed. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I hate to break it to you but Cuyahoga Co. Council is a failed experiment so it does not really matter what they do. They basically approve budgets and they should finally admit they are a waste of tax dollars. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/08...

Wait, that is what is known as "Trips up"? In politics that would be falling on your face and having to be taken to the emergency room. That is a Sarah Palin squared. That is an SNL skit without the need of any other writing. How about "faceplant" for the headline? apnews.com/article/darl...

Why would you build a military center next to your residence? No wonder you need Natalie because Melania must be afraid to live there after you took down her office without telling her and now want to build a military base outside her bedroom. Time for roses? Oops, you took out her rose garden.

Trump: "The best thing and the biggest thing we're doing is we're building a ballroom,and a tremendous military center. That was supposed to be to top secret, but it's no longer topic secret, because whatever you do you get sued."

If Merrick Garland (the flawed AG) had met with Jared of Subway after he went to jail then moved him to a minimum security prison and gave him a comfort animal that day would have been the end of Garland's career. Todd Blanche did the same with Epstein's Maxwell and got a promotion. Strange Times

So we are now taking over parts of three different countries. We went from "No new wars" to "Too many wars to keep track of" in just about two years. Strange times.

It looks like no playoffs in MLB for any teams near Ohio this year. We have to travel to Chicago or Philly to see a playoff team. Had such high hopes for small market teams like Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh this year, but they can't compete with giant payroll teams like LA, NY, and Atlanta.

And we will film it and it will become a mainstay on PBS, HGTV, History Channel, CNN and MSNOW becoming the most popular reality TV show in the history of television.

The weird thing is Washington would have HATED Trump and everything he stands for. His lack of military service; his unfaithful actions toward his marriage and his oath of office; his servitude to foreign countries and exclusively rich people would have forced Washington to deport back to Germany.

Psychotic stuff.

Welker should have said, "Oh, really, if I have a say then my vote is to drop this whole reflecting pool bullshit, give up the Kennedy Center/ballroom; stop bothering Letitia James, Comey and Brennan and bring the full force of the government down on the racist Proud boys and Oathkeepers."

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 5d ago

Welker: "Should the president have a voice in individual prosecution decisions at all?" Blanche: "Every American has a voice in prosecutions…Whether President Trump should have a 'voice,' it depends, but yes."

The one good thing is that most of these guys have no charm or redeeming qualities that anyone will feel sad about prosecuting them at the Hague. Nobody wants to sit down and have a beer with any of these "yes" men.

Not that anyone in the WH is a student of history, but supply chain issues led to the starvation of Japanese troops in the invasion of Burma, Napoleon and Hitler's failed attempt to invade Russia, and of course the British's efforts to keep the colonies in North America under their thumb.

The Constitution forbids running for a third term, not that Trump cares.

Remember Bernie Moreno's daughter filed for divorce in September 2024 so plenty of time before the election to disclose that her ex was a creep. The family chose to remain quiet because it might have harmed the Senator's bid for election as well dooming Max Miller's chances. Party over Daughter?

I just found out that Alex Jones has my same birthday, ugghhh. Is there any jurisdiction in the country that I can petition for a new date of birth, just so I do not have to share a birthday with this ignorant pig of a man? I really think I need legal advice on this serious situation.

Our County Executive must have his head in the sand. We elected a Senator and a President who are both agents of Chaos so calling a Councilperson who opposes him a "Captain of Chaos" is most likely viewed as a good thing by the stupid voting public. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/08...
