@CarolMelan39968 @DannyDeraney I used to shop at his dad's hardware store in Indiana, Pa.

@DannyDeraney My grandma said she danced with him at a high school dance in Cherry Tree, PA.

This is so wholesome. 48 years ago today, on the last ever Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway surprised Carol with her idol, Jimmy Stewart. Her reaction transforms her into a kid again.

@SadiesMopingBed @DannyDeraney You *are* old. (And so am I.)

@DannyDeraney Can't believe it's been 48 years. Now I feel old.

@shannonrwatts I saw a recent post listing 20 or so possible Democratic candidates. Rahm was the weakest of the field.

I have never in my entire life met anyone in the wild who thought Rahm Emanuel should run for President.

@Zigmanfreud Not sure it will matter, because every Republican is irretrievably tainted by Trump.

It is going to be Newsom/Shapiro, isn’t? If only because that’s the Democrat ticket seemingly designed to get me to finally descend into madness. 😡🤦‍♂️🤮

That Mullins shot is going to rank up there with Christian Laettner’s shot and Lorenzo Charles’s dunk. It’ll be behind them, but it’s up there.

@markbuchiere @DonSeaboard @TracyWesterman Our Ohio-class submarines carry 20 missiles and 90 MIRV warheads. And we have 14 of those subs. Iran wouldn't last long in a nuclear exchange.

@DonSeaboard @TracyWesterman Iran wants nukes as a deterrent to invasion to think if the got a nuke the first thing they what do is lauch it towards the US is ridiculous we have the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world they would be vaporized

Let this sink in. In 2015, the Iran nuclear deal capped uranium enrichment at 3.5% with full international inspections. The IAEA repeatedly confirmed Iran was complying. Trump’s own Secretary of Defence testified it was in America’s national security interest to keep it. Trump tore it up in 2018 because it had Obama’s name on it. Iran immediately accelerated its nuclear program — exactly what the deal was designed to prevent. Eight years, a war, thousands of lives, and billions of dollars later — Trump’s envoys are now trying to negotiate the same enrichment limits and verification measures that already existed in the deal he destroyed. Read that again. He broke a working agreement. Created the crisis. Started a war. And is now trying to negotiate his way back to where we started — except now with less leverage, more enemies, and a body count. This isn’t dealmaking. This is ego dressed up as foreign policy. A man who burned down the house and is now asking for credit because he called the fire brigade. Meanwhile, the rest of the world — including Australia — is paying the price. Fuel shortages. Economic instability. A region in flames. All because one man couldn’t tolerate his predecessor’s name on a functioning agreement. The Art of the Deal in reverse.

@DonSeaboard @Robert1Berg @TracyWesterman You can't blame Iran for wanting nukes. Ukraine gave up its nukes for Russia's pinky promise not to invade. Do you think Putin would have attacked if he had nukes pointed at him?

@Robert1Berg @TracyWesterman I'm old enough to remember Obama saying this was a path to delay Iran from making a nuke. It was never meant to prevent them from making one. That's how I arrived at my conclusion. I won't hurl insults at you though because I pity your ignorance.

@DecodingFoxNews @aairwaves Nearly 20 years ago, my son came across a photo of me and my wife at the beach. He said, "Mom, is that you?!" I had said the exact same thing at age 14 when I saw a photo of my mother in a swimsuit taken in the '40s.

I also want to give a shout out to the flight attendants and crew at @aairwaves who handled this incident with the utmost professionalism. They were incredible and did their best to de-escalate the situation. No one got hurt including the man who caused the disruption.

@IAPolls2022 The best thing the Democrats have going for them is the paucity of the Republican field. The leading candidate is Trump (f*ck the Constitution). The second is Rubio, and he won't escape his toady image of being in shoes three sizes too large.

AXIOS: Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man. Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy." axios.com/2026/03/29/som…

@smc429 The brightest one is Rubio, but I don't think he can shake his image as a toady. I would just run photos of him in his too-large shoes.

I have never seen so many stupid people in my entire fucking life.

Trump says he hangs out with losers to make himself feel better

@Zigmanfreud @bcalhoun27 By the way, the Arizona Cardinals played 17 games last season, none of which had an impact.

@bcalhoun27 They play 162 games, 99.9% of which have no impact.

It’s absolutely better for the sport The only point is getting the calls RIGHT That’s it. That’s the reason to play the games.

@Zigmanfreud @bcalhoun27 Oh, please. So many little things make a difference. Early one season, a Phillies pitcher didn't break for first on a grounder. Instead of ending the inning, it led to a three-run rally, and the Diamondbacks won. Every season is chock-full of plays and games like that.

@DanielkronDk @SteveGilbertMLB Get used to it.

@SteveGilbertMLB My biggest issue about the close games is the lack of bullpen we have; we were in the lead twice and gave up the lead both times. I hope that’s not a common occurrence

Some @Dbacks thoughts on today’s off day… I get the disappointment from fans upset that they were swept in LA but I would urge a bit of patience. The @Dodgers are going to win a ton of games this year. That lineup and pitching staff are stacked. (More)

@stottpie @Zigmanfreud Many of those flags are ridiculous, but so are most of those choreographed celebrations. Why does the entire defense rush to the end zone to pose and celebrate a turnover?

@Zigmanfreud NFL is like that now. Can't celebrate a TD or anything without waiting for the inevitable yellow flag

I hate bad umpiring as much as anyone, but is this really better for the sport in the long run? 1) You can no longer immediately celebrate a called 3rd strike without fear of it being overturned 2) What kind of losers are going to dedicate their lives to being umpires now?! 🤮

@Zigmanfreud @thedaddybandito No, it does not. It does not even out. Ask anyone who saw Don Denkinger.

@thedaddybandito It’s a 162 game season. It all evens out.

@jemelehill Favorite Gervin story: A ref told how he thought the basketball for that night’s game was slightly misshaped. He handed it to Gervin, who rolled it around and tossed it back, saying, “A ball’s a ball.” The ref added, “Ice scored 44 that night.”

They would have had to take me to Guantanamo to get me to admit this publicly.

@_IGI_Media_ @jemelehill @ChiRuxinBGO * Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur

@jemelehill @ChiRuxinBGO In life, there is but one thing we actually have control over, our name. Our reputation, both personally and professionally, and whether we are famous or infamous. Examples: Elvis Tiger Jeffrey Dahmer Madonna The Babe The Duke Usain Bolt MJ Kahn Write brothers Steph So, "before all this Iceman nonsense . . ." his nickname has been as one of thee most famous ballers in league history as he was one of the group of the exciting ABA players that helped forge what we call the NBA today. So we're not just talking a business product, but rather part of an entire sports lore and history. And, as Jemele stated, publicly admitting you do not know this information only makes your self look less informed, rather than try to diminish "this nonsense"

@JamesTate121 @pamMOvotes I think you're quoting satirist Andy Borowitz.

LEXINGTON, KY—Donald J. Trump was reportedly “apoplectic with rage” on Saturday after a tiny crowd showed up for his heavily-publicized “Pro Kings” rally. An advance team led by Eric Trump had scheduled the event at Lexington, Kentucky’s Kroger Field, a stadium with a 61,000 seat capacity, but engaged in what was called “an orgy of finger-pointing” after only 17 people turned out. Taking to Truth Social, Donald Trump called the tiny Pro Kings crowd a “total disgrace,” adding, “Especially this year, when we’re celebrating the 250th anniversary of the last time we had a King!”

@AdamSmithEcho @MattWalshBlog We threw out Iran's government in 1953, so we essentially fired the first shot. Don't give us this "47 years" nonsense.

@MattWalshBlog Your position is reasonable, unless you watched the war with Iran continue 47 long years as I have. Unless you watched Ted Koppel 444 freaking nights in a row. You're missing a hung curve here; Trump is ending, not starting, this war.

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

@SpencerGuard How many service members shall we lose in this endeavor? Is 25,000 OK? 50,000? Iraq cost us $2 trillion; this might cost 10 times that. Where are your limits?

I’ll bite. Finish the job for the U.S. IMO, destroy Iran’s current ballistic missile stockpile, destroy their ballistic missile building capability (industrial complex), destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz, i.e. destroy their ability to project power outside of Iran; destroy all parts of Iran’s nuclear program and obtain their 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, deny Iran from ever getting a nuclear bomb. The new leadership in Iran discontinues its current and long standing behaviors to develop a nuclear bomb, ballistic missile shield and increasing range program, and use of the strait of Hormuz as a tool of regional and global economic coercion. Many military, political, and economic means and ways (not just military) can be used to achieve these ends.
