That’s 9 in a row!

Well England finally played a decent game. And they’re through to the knockout stages. The last two groups finish up today, and I’m looking forward to that France-Portugal match. I have a feeling it’ll be crazy fun to watch. Elsewhere, the Astros (and this is how I’ll jinx them) are on a complete tear right now, having won 9 straight and surging to the best record in the AL.  The Phoenix Suns alley-ooped their way to a 2-0 series lead against the other team from L.A.  I have a feeling the league will step in tomorrow and make sure the Clippers get to the line enough to make it 2-1.  And Vegas fell to Montreal in the Stanley Cup “Semifinals”, since in no way should Vegas be playing Montreal in anything besides the finals based on geography. And some dude from the Lakers got arrested in Texas for having weed on him as he tried to get on a plane. Why? Because he was dumb enough to try and get on a plane with weed on him. And yes, Texas should change their laws.  But still…what an idiot. And that’s sports.

Pharaoh Ptolemy XV (man, that’s a lot of Ptolemys) was born on this day. The Egyptian shares it with hockey great Cyclone Taylor, actor Donald McBride, King Edward VIII (man, that’s a lot of Edwards), baseball exec George Weiss, commie bad guy Li Xiannian, mathematical genius Alan Turing, businessman that’s hated by Clevelanders Art Modell, country singer June Carter Cash, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, rocker Glenn Danzig, actress Frances McDormand, tv director/producer Joss Whedon, actress Selma Blair, soccer player and manager Zinedine Zidane, and some Welsh singer named Duffy.

Weird list.  Anyway, on to…the links!

Racism, racism everywhere! Even viruses are racist, I see.  What a sad state of affairs when a stupid virus is racist.

If you can’t beat em, seize their assets. Of course, our government will not say a damn thing about this. Why? Probably because they wish they had this power themselves.

One of these two people knows where they are.

I’m gonna give my alternate headline to the article. A truthful one: Biden uses rise in crime to attack gun owners rather than address the root problems. Because none of these steps will do a damn thing but punish otherwise law-abiding people.

Hunter Biden

This is the most insane story you’ll read all day. And if I’m being honest, I’ll admit that I believe every word of it. But it’ll never see the front page of the NYT or WaPo. Because principals over principles.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. “Plays down fears”? Hey dumbass, it’s already happening.

I’ll give you another reason: they’re idiots that don’t understand science. Actually, that’s not “another” reason. It’s the only reason.

Holy shit, Dianne Feinstein said something reasonable. Well there’s a first time for everything.

I had no idea this was a thing. Not that I cared, seeing as there’s no “stereotype” for what is a biker.  But you go, girl! Break down those walls (that don’t exist). Just stay away from Twin Peaks in Waco. The cops will shoot you there just for fun. Hey, whatever happened with that?  And whatever happened with the investigation into the Vegas shooter? I guess we’ll never know.

Weird video…great song. Enjoy it, friends.

Now get out there and have a fantastic day!
