I should have left Dodgers/Yankees on 15 more minutes and missed that pregame cheese fest. Except for Jennifer Hudson, who’s always great.
This pregame is awful. Thank gawd the Tate bros aren’t available to make it all even more embarrassing.
OK. Tom Cruise brings nothing to the proceedings but cheese.
Lots of talk about Lindsey Graham this week but here’s an obit worthy of our attention. A life of service vs Lindsey’s life of self serving. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...

WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill. Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues. This is their story.

How many corporations has this guy demanded a stake of for the US govt? You know, owning a piece of the means of production? Actual communism? Asking for a friend. Lots of them, actually…
Shocked, I tell you. Hope Katie and her legal team prepared for this.

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

Spotted yesterday in the wild…now I have “Holiday Road” earworming. Not the right station wagon model, but I think the Griswolds would approve.
