Rant of the Week: Bill Maher – Democrats Must Support Other Democrats

The Russian Connection: McCabe Fired to Discredit Mueller

As was expected, Donald Trump had his Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III fire Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe late Friday night just 26 hours before he was to retire effectively denying him a portion of his pension benefits. McCabe has stepped down from his position in January. In a blistering statement Friday night, McCabe …

Just a thought.

Inspired by this. So how hard could it be to put a Stingray near Trump and shut off his Twits?

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Regional Quarter Finals, Day 2

We could call Friday “Giant Slayer Day”, at least on the Men’s side of the Tournament. In addition to the big one, the crushing defeat of Virginia (picked by many as the top seed to win the whole thing) by University of Maryland, Baltimore College, a historically Black College known more for turning out Physicians, …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Regional Quarter Finals, Day 1

Friday, Day 1 of the Round of 64, was not exactly overpopulated with upsets. Virginia, Minnesota, and Villanova, that’s it. Otherwise pretty much what you would expect. Tennessee got a Century, good for them. Doesn’t look quite so impressive now, does it? Unfortunately Lady’s Basketball does not have the financial support and development it deserves …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Regional Quarter Finals

Sorry. Distracted. 140 – 52. Tournament Record (121, Men’s or Women’s) shattered. Not 3:1. Not 149+ (most points ever, Men or Women). Room for improvement. A-. I don’t think there’s a team on the Men’s side who can hang with them if they swapped today. Even less so if they had a few months to …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2, Round of 64, Evening

Let me say I’m pleased as punch that the Orangemen played their way into the big dance. I haven’t made many predictions today (they’re mostly wishes anyway) but I’m highly gratified when they make me seem not quite such an idiot as I actually am. Wednesday’s Results Seed Team Record Score Seed Team Record Score …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Evening

Once again the Women get snubbed by having only the one Network (ESPN) and even only one Channel (ESPN 2), the second best one (though some would argue who wants to watch Sports Center 24/7 and I would be forced to agree) at that. It’s not like Disney doesn’t have dozens of Channels on your …
