Throwing a Dart, But Things Could Be Worse

The Schloss-Blog wants to know, what were you thinking about, Jaxson Dart?

Introducing Donald Trump. At his rally.

This is Nu Yawk, baybee, not Mississippi.

You clearly ruffled some feathers among your teammates, in the Giants front office and likely in league offices too.

So, here's a tip: with many Giants fans publicly announcing they are canceling season-ticket orders, if you want to be popular with your teammates and the fans, no going gaga over an unpopular political figure.

Like Trump.

His approval ratings are at all-time lows and yours will be too, unless ... 

...Unless you light up the opposition and deliver a playoff-worthy season for the Giants.

This is Nu Yawk, baybee. Behave like it. On and off the field.

Seven days ago, May 24, Trump said the deal with Iran was "largely negotiated."

Here we are seven days later, it is still "largely negotiated." The Strait is still closed, the blockade is still on and the U.S. and Iran are still trading potshots across the Persian Gulf. The U.S, is hitting, or says it is hitting Iranian missile bunkers. Iran is hitting U.S. bases in the area, actually wounding Americans.

Trump says he doesn't care and that the U.S. has plenty of time. Guess who doesn't: Americans who need food and healthcare, (Obamacare), funding for which has been drastically cut.

And is being spent on the billions needed to wear down U.S, missile stores.

Brilliant, Donald, brilliant. Just keep taking your time. You're only interested in influencing the stock market with false news (i.e., fake news) that the war may be ending.

Hey Kendrick Lamar, Vanessa Williams, pay attention: Drake is No. 1 all-time in No. 1 hit songs by a male artist, surpassing ... Michael Jackson.

There is not going to be a Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Judge Christopher Cooper pronounced that only Congress, by law, can change the name.

Everything else Trump has said about the name change is a lie, as performing artists, among the world's best, have cancelled appearance after appearance.

Trump's slush fund has been halted for the moment, the one he was going to use to pay the criminals he had already pardoned in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

The weaponization fund was ruled by Judge Leonie Brinkema to be, basically, essentially, what plaintiff Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called a "Jaw-dropping act of presidential corruption."

Let's see if Trump continues anyway. He just might defy the court order anyway.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Olivia Guenther.

More to come Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
