Ok, after all these years, this is a first. Literally had UPS and FedEx at my side door while DHL was knocking at the front. Then Western Carriers pulled up as DHL were leaving. I might have an issue. 😂😂😂😂 #Tuscanvines #SampleSeason

Scott Jennings understands perfectly what the joke was, of course. He's just pretending not to so he can clutch his pearls and act outraged.

@JohnMFodera @cortonamd Glad to hear you’re on the mend, John!

Back in the groove! Man, it was a long break. First “real” wine in over a month. How’d I do @cortonamd ? #TuscanVines

@LongeneckerBob Cheers to you, Bob! And remember we could show up unannounced at any time! 😁🍷

Sunday dinner wine. This 2021 Marcassin Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is absolutely packed with bright red fruits. Medium tannins. Doesn’t have the mushroom/forest floor typical of young Pinots, but it’s a mouthful of delicious fruit. And it’s younger than typical new releases. Cheers!

Thankyou Hungary. You didn't listen to Vance, Trump, Putin or Netanyahu, which is the first step on the road to decency and sanity. This is an important win for Europe as well.

Wow!

orban getting absolutely hammered, as expected, in hungary. after 16 years of incompetence, mismanagement and europe’s most kleptocratic governance by a long margin…a historic win for the hungarian people.

Seeing the newly-released polls for Hungary’s election 🗳️ 🇭🇺

David Sacks, who warned of an impending World War III every single month of the Biden presidency leading up to the 2024 election, has not commented on the ongoing war with Iran.

@LongeneckerBob Bob, no wine? 😉

A nice dining venue at the Venetian Hotel’s restaurant row. Terrific Italian food. Perhaps overshadowed by the celebrity chef restaurants, this is worth a visit. Little gem Caesar salad; short rib agnolotti with nebbiolo reduction & reggiano foam; panna cotta. Dinner at Matteo’s.

TRUMP LOSES KEY IRISH GROUP OVER OBAMA SLUR President Trump has lost the support of Sean Pender, the leader of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the largest Irish group in America group because of his racist Obama comments_ Pender wrote::"The Ancient Order of Hibernians condemns in the strongest possible terms the racist depiction of President Barack Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama as apes that was shared from President Trump's social media account. This is not a political statement, but a moral one founded in our Irish history and Catholic faith. We recognize this tactic because it was used against us as Irish Americans. As an organization founded to combat attacks against Irish immigrants, we know intimately the weaponization of simian imagery. For generations, our ancestors were caricatured as apes in newspapers, political cartoons, and popular culture; portrayed as violent, primitive, and less than human. The influential cartoonist Thomas Nast, whose work appeared in Harper's Weekly throughout the latter half of the 19th century, repeatedly drew Irish immigrants with pronounced simian features equating them with violent primates. These depictions were used to justify discrimination, exclusion, and violence. They stripped our people of dignity and humanity. The claim that this video was merely an "internet meme" or that critics were engaging in "fake outrage" is both morally bankrupt and historically ignorant. There is nothing lighthearted about reducing any people to apes. This imagery has been used for centuries as a tool of oppression, designed to dehumanize and justify subjugation. It is not humor; it is bigotry. The subsequent walk-back, blaming an unnamed staffer and claiming the president was unaware, rings hollow. Leadership means accountability. As a leader, the President should be well aware that the captain of a ship is responsible for all who serve under him. When this content appeared on the president's account, the president bears responsibility, regardless of whom he empowered to press the button. The initial defense of this post by staffers as harmless reveals either a shocking ignorance of history or a willful disregard for human dignity. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a nonpartisan organization. We do not endorse political parties or candidates. But we cannot—and will not—remain silent when any human being is dehumanized through the racist imagery that once targeted our own community. An apology is owed. Not for political expediency, but because it is right. The dehumanizing of people as apes was wrong in the 19th century, it certainly as no place in the 21st. We call on all people of conscience, regardless of political affiliation, to reject such dehumanization wherever it appears and whoever perpetrates it." ### About the Ancient Order of Hibernians Founded in 1836, the Ancient Order of Hibernians is the oldest and largest Irish Catholic organization in America. We promote Irish culture and history, defend the Irish and Catholic community, and work toward a free and united Ireland.

President Trump has for years told fictional stories in which unnamed people refer to him as “sir.” He did another one yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast — vividly describing how he supposedly got Sudanese authorities to release a persecuted Christian who was actually released during the Obama administration the year before Trump even began his run for office: cnn.com/2026/02/06/pol…

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄. I watched. I learned. And now I get it. That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love. Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game. The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics. That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️ And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

Let it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.

This is one of the most offensive things he says. Literally pissing on the graves of allied soldiers from NATO nations who died fighting in our defense after 9/11. Got complaints about NATO? Fine. But show a shred of humanity and decency.
