Pac Man calls fro WBO to review fight. Seeds move on like they do every year at Wimbledon. A bunch of NBA teams show the world what a bubble really looks like. And the ASTROS!!!! That’s really it for sports. I’m not mailing it in.  Seriously, that’s pretty much it.

So here come…the links!

.

CNN builds land mine. Then steps on it. I don’t know how else to explain them intimidating a (supposedly 15 year old, gay) internet poster into removing everything online under threat of being doxxed…all for modifying a meme that’s been around forever in a way that makes fun of them.

Can we get a head count on all the Chicago Glibs, please? I want to make sure none of them were collateral damage.

Chris Christie does a really good honey badger impersonation.  Look at that crazy fucker. He doesn’t care. He don’t give a fuck.

In important news that didn’t get very much coverage, the Baker-Hughes and GE merger has been completed. It should cut costs and make upstream operations more efficient around the world, positively effecting the costs for oil and gas exploration and distribution. But it’s not as shiny an object as others.

Joey Chestnut runs a train on some weiners. (SFW, ya pervs!)

While it may draw an icy reaction from the Social Security Administration, I think it was a pretty cool way to try and recoup some of what he paid into the system.

Hey, CNN: I hope every other internet troll out there above the age of 15 responds to your threats and intimidation with this chorus.

(Note: I had a couple good pics and captions queued up, but CNN had to be assholes, so I only got to post the Chestnut one as the main image. Thank those assholes for deserving a lot worse than what I quickly found. And if you can’t tell, I’m really, really disgusted by what they’ve done in light of a clever meme put together by what is being reported as a 15 year old kid.)

That’s it for me, folks. Have a hell of a day!

Its been a good loooong weekend so far. Lots of heat and humidity, as God intended. The Astros took two of three from the Yankees after someone gave me a hard time about it on Saturday. And Wimbledon got underway. A bunch of signings in the NBA, which will interest our Romanian contingent. And soccer is just around the corner.

Of course, all of those things pale in comparison to football. College or pro. Take your pick. Its still the greatest thing in the world and I daresay its what has made America the greatest nation on the planet.  Well, that and creating more than our share of the world’s wealth, our development of time- and labor-saving devices, our advancement of democratic institutions and our ability to put men on the fucking moon when nobody else could.

So enjoy this independence day. Even those of you from other countries. Because even with our whiny, butthurt snowflakes, even with a blowhard of a president, even with dickheads on college campuses trying to take away free speech and even with those choads from antifa  trying to stir up a civil war, this is by far the greatest place on earth.

Now that my heart is racing, here are…the links!

Jeopardy decides to “Stay Woke”. Hilarity ensues. (TW: Salon…but worth it in case your tear barrels are running a bit low)

Generation Z will likely be conservative, contrasting the millennials. The study says their (Gen-X) parents are doing a good job of raising them to recognize bullshit when they see it. You’re welcome world. We may have just saved you.

Elon Musk can’t seem to get his factory working as planned. But don’t worry.  I’m sure some government agency will throw money his way to help out with his latest Tesla scam.

Hey, can somebody get the governor on the phone and have him get one of those pardon forms out? Because when a child rapist serves 27 months and the parent of his victim who kills him gets 40 years, I think there is something wrong with our justice system.

You guys have seen all of those migrant stories of the influx pouring into Italy lately, yeah?  Well if Austria has their way, they might just stay there rather than pour into other nations. (Note: OMWC pointed out the disclaimer at the end and how lovely it is. Enjoy it, but be sure to get your Newspeak translator out first.)

Looks like the two most progressive places on the left coast don’t like each other. Now if only we could get people from Williamsburgh Brooklyn to move to…wait, where would they go without their parents funding it? Nevermind. There’s no equivalent.

MURRICA!!!!!!!!!

Go out and have a great holiday. You earned it, America. (Enjoy work the rest of you!)

The Astros won a day game. The Twins lost to the Sawks. The Dodgers won  and a Yankee blew out his patellar tendon in his debut…plus the pinstripes lost. Not much else happened as far as actual games yesterday. The Wimbledon draw is set and Federer is the #1 seed and faces a tough slate if he is to win.

In basketball news, expect there to be an NCAA investigation into Kentucky basketball soon. No other explanation exists for Calipari asking the Knicks if they’d like him to come coach them. And Carmelo Anthony would like to become a Cavalier.  But I doubt Cleveland wants to deliberately catch cancer, so I can’t see them wanting him.

Football is coming soon enough, thank God.  Until then, I’m gonna struggle to bring you sports in advance of…the links!

The House passed a tough new law affecting illegal aliens. Lots of Democrat defectors to vote with the GOP on this one. Let’s see if the media portray them as evil Nazis too.

In other immigrant-related news, a Houston, TX federal judge has revived the naturalized citizenship of a child rapist. He revoked it because the guy didn’t disclose it on his citizenship application. And apparently the INS didn’t cross-reference state criminal records when they were handing out citizenships in 1996.

An interesting, and bluntly critical, look at the Ossoff campaign’s terrible messaging strategy. Something like this belonged more on QVC than a highly-covered election.

Travel ban Temporary halt on immigration from a few countries is back after the Supreme Court unanimously struck down orders from the 4th and 9th Circuit Courts that halted it.

Greta out at MSNBC after less than six months. I guess that square peg didn’t fit into that round hole.

I’m throwing y’all a bone with my final link of the week.  A federal judge has kicked the gun-grabbers in California square in the nuts.

Scandalous!

Have a great day, friends. And a better weekend.

The Astros won the home run derby last night. God, it was brutal to watch those guys throwing meatballs up there. But a win is a win.  Hey, speaking of wins, the Twins won too (see, I pay attention!).  But there were bigger things happening in the sports world. Like Tim Tebow going yard on his first day after moving up to high-A ball. An umpire did something good for a change. And the Rockets signed CP3 in what many pundits are calling a serious move against the Warriors for control of the west. I think its a bit premature to call it anything but shoring up an inadequate backcourt partner for Harden, but I’ll let the talking heads go apeshit like they always do with a big signing like this.

That’s really it. You guys will be getting (teaser alert!) a foreign sports ball update in a bit, so I won’t dive into anything else.  Which brings us to…the links!

Poor Susan Rice. If it weren’t for racism and sexism, she’d have nothing to worry about.  Well, nothing except for the crimes she’s potentially committed by unlawfully getting the names of American citizens swept up in so-called terrorism investigations and leaking them all over the place in an attempt to smear political opponents in an attempt to influence elections. Poor gal. I hope she’s able to make it through the klan rally intelligence committee hearing without incident.

New York Times editors don’t like getting laid off. I guess they don’t understand how markets work…which would explain the overwhelming majority of their financial and economy pieces for the last decade or so.

Its been a little while since I linked to one, but Victor Davis Hanson is back, baby! And he’s on fire.

Woman to be deported. I will post without further comment because I want to know your reactions. But I might dive into the comments.

The Catholic Church still has a sex abuse issue. This time its going to the highest levels short of the Holy Father himself.

Florida might have solved a herpes problem! Unfortunately, for many Floridians and Spring breakers, its not going to do them any good.

An appeal to millennials. Or an indictment of them. Take your pick.

That’s it for me. Go out there and give ’em hell today!

Well the Florida Gators won the CWS. The Astros lost. John McEnroe keeps giving honest answers which keeps pissing off SJWs that can’t handle reality and the Knicks are finally done paying Phil Jackson to troll them.  That’s pretty much it for sports. Damn, that’s one thing about summer that sucks.

But there are plenty of you Glibs that hate sports anyway, so you’re probably giddy that I will be forced to jump more quickly into…the links!

Apparently, nineteenth century technology is still a bitch to master. Just wait till the streetcars start doing the same in all the cities where they’ve pissed away your tax dollars for them.

Gee, um, we’re really sorry we lied to you. Its a good explanation how the old kids game of “telephone” gets played in the news game and how it results in so much bullshit being printed that you could fill Yankee Stadium with it (which isn’t a bad idea).

Glenn Greenwald cuts open CNN’s belly and rips their guts out. OK, maybe he doesn’t go that far, but its a serious indictment of the press’s incessant and often completely erroneous coverage of the “Russia story”.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Even if its a woman…and she’s 80…do not fuck with a US Marine. Well done!

Can’t decide if you’re a Gen-Xer or a Millenial?  Well if you’re born between 1977 and 1983, you may not have to choose one of those anymore!

And finally, The ACLU tears the Orange County (CA) Sheriff a new one. And they’re asking for all kinds of outrageous things like…actual civilian oversight of their gulags jails.

A new song…from 35 years ago. Actually, it is new. And its pretty decent new wave, IMO.

Well, that’s it for today’s links. Go out there and have a great day.

Florida took game 1 in the CWS championship series. But the real winners were in the stands.  Russell Westbrook won the NBA’s MVP award after being the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double. And it seems like every single one of the popular baseball teams on here, or perhaps its the teams of the most vocal fans, lost last night. Fortunately the Astros didn’t play and the Dodgers lost after reeling ten in a row off, which means the longest streak of the year will remain in Houston. Firstros back at home tonight against the Athletics where they hope to maintain their torrid pace coming into the All-Star break.

Oh, yeah. And I need to make sure I mention that Serena replied to John McEnroe’s interview answers. I could have called this a mile away. She could have easily just reiterated her comments from some years back. But she decided to accuse him of invading her privacy, even though he was merely answering a question and then a follow-up question. Furthermore, she did so on twitter…where she’d posted a dozen things in the last week alone.  You know, because she wants her privacy.  Christ, what an asshole. I only hope McEnroe replies with a little more science-based commentary and puts her where she belongs.

Anyhow, I’m sure you didn’t come here for sports, although sometimes those are the best people we can cover on a given day. Let’s see what kind of people we can talk about in…the links.

Fake news story claims three CNN employees. Plus, none of their chicks have nice legs and wear short skirts every day. So as far as I’m concerned, they’re no longer a legitimate source of information.  Brian Williams was not available for comment.

There’s some evidence that the entire probe by the FBI into Michael Flynn might be in retaliation of a sexual harassment claim he helped a female employee make. Let’s see when NBC, CBS, ABC or the aforementioned CNN pick that one up.

Ladies and gentlemen, this video definitively proves we have nothing whatsoever to fear from the violent rhetoric coming from the far left. I’ll keep my guns just to be certain, but…holy shit, this is pathetic and hilarious and reassuring all at the same time.

Bernie Sanders is starting to feel the heat. I guess that’s to be expected when you and your wife are accused of using your office to influence a private business and bank fraud, respectively.

Suck it, New York, Chicago, LA, Boston and all those other progressive metropolises. Only one major American city made the top 10 list of “most joyous places on earth.”

Tennessee replies to California travel ban in an awesome way.

Just a few more days and I’ll get to do this.

That’s all she wrote for today, friends. Go out there and have a great day!

Well I sure was wrong about Oregon State cruising to a CWS title. Instead we’re all going to get treated to an all-SEC affair. And that means my reporting on it has come to a conclusion.  Well, I’ll probably mention something on it, but that conference being a literal lock to win it takes a little shine off the remaining best of three series for me and for most of America. Which means we can focus on the professionals…and the Astros taking 2 of 3 from the second place Mariners over the weekend. But the Dodgers have come to within 1 game of the Astros for best record in the majors after reeling 10 games in a row off. Of course, there are like 6 whole teams in the NL with a winning record, but I will still give credit where its due.  Oh yeah, and Tim Tebow is moving up to high-A ball in the Mets organization.  They better start prepping him, because the way they’re playing, he might be the only person able to draw a crowd in New York by the end of the regular season.

And in other sports news, it looks like ESPN is trying to make a story out of a man saying what should be considered an obvious truth to anyone with a pair of brain cells to bump into each other.  Seriously, anybody that thinks an elite woman could compete with elite men in this sport is out of their goddamn mind. Plus Jordan Spieth did everything he could to piss a tournament away with his putter yesterday. So he did what only seemed obvious: he won it in a playoff without taking the flatstick out of his bag.

Well that’s your weekend sports update. Hope it whetted your appetite for…the links!

Just in case any of you wanted to know the story behind the next huge war…that we can hopefully sit out. But I doubt we can.  Hat tip: One True Athena.

When President Trump supporters show up to her town hall James Brown impersonator Congresswoman Maxine Waters says “Get back! Huh. This is the big payback.”

You just don’t understand their creativity, man. Or whatever it is that’s causing Hollywood celebrities to wax poetically about assassination.

This guy deserves a round of applause. Somebody owes him a life debt. Or a multiple broken bones debt. Either way, he done good.

Trump manages to cause massive butthurt even when he doesn’t do something. Of course, the “tradition” is all of 20 out of 240 years old. But don’t let that stop the left from shitting their pants over it. Several Muslim men expressed anger. Most Muslim women were not available for comment.

After months of reporting just about anything on Russia that crosses its plate, CNN decides to (perhaps) become a legitimate news outlet again. Or, as likely, they decide they want to make sure the stories fit their narrative before publishing them.

A nice mellow one for y’all.

That’s it. Go have a great day!

OK, can we officially put anything to do with the NBA to bed for a month or so anyway? The draft is over. And I will grudgingly acknowledge that Philly might be in a position to win 30 games for the first time in a while. But they’re still several healthy years away from the juggernaut a few Glibs claim they’re on the cusp of becoming.  A lot can happen with young guys and hopes built on undrafted or largely unproven young players. Just ask the Celtics from the last couple of decades. Anyway, the Chicago Bulls probably had the best night of anyone in the NBA, except for LaVarr Ball obviously. That trade they pulled off in conjunction with their drafting of the Finnish seven-footer that can jack up shots from anywhere puts them firmly on equal footing with the Sixers in regards to a core of young talent.  Only time will tell how it works out.

TCU! TCU! TCU! The Horned Frogs knocked Louisville out of the CWS. Let’s hope they don’t run out of gas in the final four. Especially since they’re playing the Gators…who almost everybody in America rightly hates.  Also, the Astros won again. And a little nugget: they need to win one of their next five games to finish the first half of the season 20 games over .500.  Which is pretty much insane.

Not much else on the sports front. Which I’m sure makes some of you very happy. And which also allows me to jump into…the links!

Mama mia! First and only female gondolier in Venice’s history says she’s now a dude.  Or that she always was a dude. Or…something, Hell, I don’t know.

Mollie Hemingway eviscerates the FBI’s briefing on the Scalise shooting. Seriously, the FBI must have been channeling Baghdad Bob when they wrote the least accurate report I’ve seen in some time.

A nifty little montage of the tolerant, and enlightened, leftists in Hollywood. No wonder they’re such a political juggernaut and are so quick to sway political discourse in their favor. They are such sober, well-reasoned debaters of ideas.

James Comey visits the New York Times. Maybe he can ask for the documents he stole from the federal government and leaked to them so he can comply with congressional requests while he’s there.

Here’s one for the Masshole Glibs out there.

Say what you want about the Roberts court on some things, but they’re really fucking good on First Amendment cases.

And I know you like it too!

That’s it for the week. Go out there and give em hell this weekend!

Sorry Florida State baseball. They had a good run but LSU knocked them out last night. Although at this point, I’d be shocked if anybody could touch Oregon State. It’d take a slew of previously-unknown pederasty by their pitching staff to keep them from winning it all. Because obviously one didn’t hardly slow them down.

Also, NBA draft is tonight…Yawn. But the NHL’s expansion draft by the new Las Vegas team was anything but.  They got the goalie everyone was expecting them to go after. I’m gonna have to take a closer look to rate the other picks, but mullet-head Barry Melrose seemed impressed. Although the star of the evening had to be Marcel Dionne.

That’s it. Well, except for the Astros winning. And the Rockies giving up a 10-spot in the fourth inning.

Okey-dokey then. How’s about…the links!

Well it looks like Tropical storm Dick and Balls Cindy is skipping H-town and heading to Louisiana. And you know what that means…a bunch of smug-ass progressives laughing at “God punishing the rednecks” and other such tolerant things from the oh-so-tolerant. There’s no link to this one. I just wanted to post the photo I got on my phone from a buddy.

But, what if nobody wants them? Well, really just that little corner up by a lake. The rest of the place is probably worth salvaging. And I’d personally send a lifeboat for the Glibs stuck in the bad part.

Can Alex Jones sue Slate for peddling a conspiracy theory that might even be too outrageous for even him? Seriously, they must be taking acid every hour on the hour over there to come up with this shit. (No TW necessary since I already said it was Slate.)

Florida Mom strikes again! (Click the video. The music is awesome!)

Trump’s budget is gonna cause the trains to, apparently, not run on time. Or not run at all. And some people are butthurt. Because there’s no better stewardship with the government’s money than to prop up a failing enterprise of 19th century technology.

Since Oakland has no other pressing matters, they’re able to dedicate time to denying private property rights.

And the asshole of the day goes to Hartford, Connecticut sociology professor Johnny Eric Williams. And frankly, it wasn’t even close. But I’m gonna stay tuned because I’m sure somebody from the tolerant left will top him by the end of the day.

Man, I sure like the way these numbers work out. Plus since that one is so short, here’s a little bonus. And I think “warm” is an understatement this week.

Th, th, th, that’s all folks! Make it a great day!
