What the 112 nay votes on Ukraine funding tell us

Que bono - Latin for "who stands to benefit."

If you want to look at who may be in Putin's pocket look no farther. Dark money in Super Pacs can't be traced. But if we could, I'd look at those 112 nay votes and ask....who stands to benefit?

If your rep is a nay, call their office and tell them they are Putin's pawns.

A sports movie that Hollywood should absolutely remake

Take your favorite sports hero in any sport: Tom Brady, Caitlin Clark, Mike Trout, Wayne Gretsky...anyone who attained a peak of excellence at their sport.

Now, just as they attain major success in their sport, the car their driving gets hit head on by a bus. Your sports hero suffers a double fracture of the pelvis, a fractured ankle, a fractured collarbone and near fatal blood clots. The blood clots are so bad in the legs that doctors permanently tie off the vena cava...The huge vein that carries blood from the legs back to the heart. Your sports hero will never again walk without pain.

In addition, your sports hero hit their head against the dash board and as a result, in the coming years, the retina in the left eye will detach.

Does your sports hero come back to attain their previous excellence in sport? Probably not. How about attaining an even higher excellence than before?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the sports movie Hollywood should absolutely remake: Follow The Sun, The Ben Hogan story, starring Lucas Black as Ben Hogan and Emma Stone as his wife Valerie. Major tournaments won by Hogan before the crash:3 Major tournaments won by Hogan after the crash:6 including 3 in one year.

One more thing. A split second before the bus hit his Cadillac, Hogan threw his body across the front seat to try to save his wife.

Empathy, a big reason for Magats scorn

Just a personal observation about Joe Biden. We've seen him speak twice, in 2008 and 2012. We sat behind the stage at one event. Either Joe Biden is the greatest actor of this generation....or....he is simply a man with great empathy and a wish to see that government work for all and not just the moneyed interests. A man who truly has known loss and pain - those emotions that build up the empathy genes in our makeup.

Magats believe that showing empathy makes them weak. Isn't that the heart of the anti-woke philosophy?????? They show this lack of empathy toward those sub groups they have declared heretical and echo a similar movement that is associated with fascists causes.

They look at Biden and see weakness because he cares. And they love Trump because he makes it feel like they don't have to.

Call up your congressman and ask Cui Bono ?

Cui Bono, Latin for "who stands to benefit."

By not voting on aid to the Ukraine who stands to benefit?

Ask your congressman that question. Then ask them to reveal the source of their Super Pacs dark money contributions. Mention Citizens United for effect. Tell them that until they can PROVE otherwise it can reasonably be assumed that their Super Pacs are being funded by Putin.

Dear Dodger fans: A few words of warning from Lt. Commander Spock

Several studies, including one by Bill James, have shown conclusively that peak athletic performance in baseball happens by age 29. Ohtani is 29 this year. He'll be on the shelf when it comes to pitching until next year, when in early July, he will turn 31.

Yamamoto has yet to record an out in the Major Leagues!


"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." Lt. Commander Spock

The assassination of John Lennon, December 8, 1980

We live in a world where the intelligent must keep quiet so that the stupid may not be offended.

If this is a game of chess, what's the end game for Hamas?

Iran getting in the way of a Saudi Arabia/Israeli deal makes sense. But for Hamas? Every time that Israel has struck back at the Palestinians, the Palestinians lose big time. So their women and children will suffer for Iran moving the chess pieces and what does Hamas gain? Israel will not let this go until their revenge is enacted in Gaza! Adolph Eichmann is an example as are the members of the 1972 Munich Olympic attack.

Putin took down Prigozhin with a missile and McCarthy with Citizens United

Bet me the following:

Dark money is flowing into the Freedom Caucus from Russia. Who stands to gain the most from the House being unable to pass a bill to fund Ukraine?

The bet from most House republicans is to go short on the stock market. Once again, if we knew all the accounts they hold, its most likely that the Freedom Caucus members are shorting the most. Create chaos and profit from it.

And bet me the following: Although we could point out fingers at a lot of the chaos agents I need to warn my fellow DU'ers - Byron Donalds is a traitor to the United States of America!!!!!!
