This morning, Trump tweeted for Israel to deny entry to Israel by US Congresswomen, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.  Shockingly, Israel complied, denying them entry.  I can’t think of any other occasion where a US president made a political move like this, involving a foreign country directly in exacting revenge against domestic rivals.

Unbelievable.

Dana Milbank writes the most heartwarming (tongue in cheek) story about Wayne LaPierre needing a new house.

After the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, he and his wife bravely waited out the uproar on the pink-sand beaches of the Bahamas, part of $542,000 in private jet trips and personal items the NRA bought for him. And now, thanks to some delightful reporting by my Washington Post colleagues Carol D. Leonnig and Beth Reinhard, we know that last year’s Parkland massacre left LaPierre so fearful for his personal safety that he tried to have the NRA buy him a $6 million Frenchchateau-style mansion with nine bathrooms in a gated Dallas – area golf course community.

He told associates that he was worried about his safety and thought his Virginia home was too easy for potential attackers to find.

Oh, I know the feeling, Wayne – with all those damn guns out there not even your own personal armory can make you safe.

Some will see the hypocrisy in LaPierre trying to get the NRA to buy him a mansion in a gated community when the NRA, at the time of the attempted acquisition that LaPierre feels unsafe because of the very gun culture his policies have created.

Some?  Just some?

Hey, I suspect that ole Wayne needs some creature comforts in this lifetime because the devil is stoking up the flames of hell for his arrival.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

This is only partly political, but it is baseball and some crazy stuff.

Okay, first off, do not eat tacos at a baseball game.  Hell, I don’t even eat hot dogs on Dollar Dogs night, much less try to eat as many as I possible can at one time.  Tacos have hard sharp points to them.  Shoving them down your throat is like swallowing a garbage disposal while it’s running. Crispy tacos are meant to be eaten slowly with drinks of your favorite adult beverage in between bites.

I realize that minor league baseball is all about the entertainment, but for gosh sake, watching people go into severe digestive distress is surprisingly unpopular with the kiddos. So, you gotta wonder who came up with this idea.

Following this event, the Fresno Grizzlies, the farm team for the Washington Nationals, announced …

A taco-themed festival set for Saturday at the ballpark, “The Taco Truck Throwdown,” will go on as planned — but that event’s eating competition has been canceled, the team announced Wednesday.

Well, that’s just damn thoughtful of them.

I want remind customers that the Fresno Grizzles had to apologize to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for calling her among those who are “enemies of freedom.”

On Memorial Day, the Grizzlies played a famous speech by Ronald Reagan between games of their doubleheader against the El Paso Chihuahuas

As Reagan’s words extolling American values were heard, images were beamed on the scoreboard of North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un, late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro — and Ocasio-Cortez, the outspoken first-term Democratic congresswoman from New York City.

They say it was a mistake. That’s what they say.

Oh y’all, Steve King is damned and determined to go out with a blazing star of the grossest crap you’ve never even thought about.

Get this:

Rep. Steve King said Wednesday that humanity might not exist if not for rape and incest, prompting the latest round of outrage at the Iowa Republican, who has a long history of making inflammatory remarks.

In a discussion at the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale, Iowa, King was defending his position against laws allowing abortion exceptions in cases of rape and incest.

His position is that throughout history there’s been lost of raping and pillaging and incest going on and we can’t prove that we are not the eventual product of that.

Well, he has a point.  I’m pretty sure that Steve King is the product of incest because something ain’t right with that boy.

A spokesman for King did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the House member’s remarks.

Yeah, because he was busy chasing his sister in the backyard.
