Republican Slush Fund

      well, now. What more can the Chump do to break the political will of the opposition? Pardoning was one thing; now, he wants to reward Jan. 6th attackers by giving them a portion of the $1.8 billion  fund for those who were victims of the "weaponization" of the Justice Department by Joe Biden and others of that ilk. The trump family, widely pardoned and left out of the 'vicitim' loop, won't be eligible. However, after dropping his lawsuit against the IRS and the Justice Department, he'll be content to have $1.8 billions to throw around to his boot lickers, toadies, yes-men, and sycophants.

     Even his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, is on board as acting AG. What a wonderful world of politics by wackos.  Seems like only yesterday, Sleepy JOw was "in charge" and the Dems had a future, somewhere. Then, not enough voters showed up, and the Chump won the count.

     His vindictiveness continues as he singles out those who didn't provide a high enough level of support when he needed it most. He has thrown a few bones to his old buddy Steve Bannon, former Naval Officer and one time advissor. So, others will benefit, even the Capitol invaders who wanted to stop Congress during the Electoral College confirmation of the vote.

    The courts may look this over; or they may not look it over. The Chump is trying to boost the economy that he has tipped into a possible recession. Only the next few months will see what he has really done to upend the country.  

Knicks V. CAvs

    Like the game the day before, it was well worth the effort to watch these two opponenets go at it. Easy pickings thought the CAvs. Up by 22 points-it was a waalkover. And then..........

    Something happened. MAybe it was the announcement that the LIRR strike ended and all that pentup energy was released in time to save the day. Maybe Zohran made an announcement that the City-owned grocery outlet will feature must haves like milk and bread at super low prices for the masses of NYers.

   The knicks in the GArden came back from the dead and soared to a tie at the end of regulation. Then the CAvs unraveled and went down to defeat by 10 points. If  you were a Knicks believer , you went home happy. More fun to follow.

Texas Roils Politics

    Ken Paxton: the Texan everyone loves to hate, excepting the Oval Chump.  The Oval likes Paxton despite the train load of heavy baggage he pulls along the tracks. This notorious scum bucket has been endorsed by the Chump because Paxton is one of those climbers and grovelers who knows he must grovel to rise higher on the ladder of power.

      His notoriety in Texas illustrates the depth of the War-MAker -in-Chief's efforts to pad the Congress with MAGA lemmings, such as Paxton. He'll serve the Oval King quite wqell if he m akes it to Washington, D.C., home of the Lemmings and Pigeons of Congress.

   As the bond market implodes as we speak, the Oval blissfully focuses on the price of a barrel of West Texas Crude and Iranian port traffic. Never mind that his buddy, VOVA is walking the same red (how apropos )carpet in Beijing when the Chump was there to talk about TAiwan and defense munitions he will sell to the island govvernment. Red Dicks together is the current theme in Beijjing: a Commie who arrests Christians willy-nilly and puts them in prison and a wannabe dictator who invades neighbors and kidnaps their children for fun and games in the MotherLand of Broken Rus Dreams. 

    Putie will grovel to Xi and promise unlimited support against the West(and North, and South, and east, too). The Little MAn and the Asian Sphinx will discuss the flow of Rus Oil to Beijing  needs to feed the shrinking population for a few more decades before the greying of China becomes an overwhelming factor of Chinese life. and the real estate deals in the Amur River Basin cement the farming community there.

Viva Texas 

Interest Rates Change

   The Oval Chump is aware of high yeilds on 30-year Treasury notes.  The Great Economic Oval is setting the world on fire with his amazing Economic Policies and Trump's War against the WOrld.

What a way to run a country; Republicans might as well enjoy the ride straight in the dumpster.

Let's not forget the 77 millin MAGA followers who voted for this Buffoon of Buffoons. 

Where's Jimmy LAi?

    Well, did Chump bring up the name: Jimmy LAi? What do you think?

OKC V. SPurs: DOUble Overtime

       The first game of the Western NBA Finals was amazing. Yes, over used description, but allowed in this case.  It was a seesaw contest the entire game. Regulation time  ended in a tie.  The Spurs had a shot, but it was blocked. Then the first Over Time period. Again, back and forth. Seemed like the Spurs were going to turn this to a victory, but OKC's Caruso put in a timely 3-pointer and got back into it.

      But, as fate would have it, the first OT period ended in a second tie. This was the 6th period of play and time on the floor for both teams started to add up. Soon, San Antonio began to pull away, and then it became evident that with the help of Victor Wambanyama, they cemented the victory.

     This young star player impressed all who were watching wherever they sat. His skills are impressive. His age makes him stand out- he will get better with time; we know this. His teammates accept his role as the anchor of the defense, and the playmaker on the offense.

     The Thunder will now face the facts: it's not the same team they faced during the regular season. Victor is much better than he was 4 months ago. His teammates have adjusted as well, seeing this amazing talent in their midst. 

Amazing. Watch 'em. 

How is the Embargo Of Iran Going
