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.

I have a team of housekeepers who come every two weeks and they have for almost ten years.  They work for a woman who cleaned my house for 15 years before that and then set up her own business.  She taught these women well.  They do a great job.

Maria, who is the head of my team, is here on a green card.  Between her limited English and my limited Spanish, we communicate well.  Her daughter, who was born here, is coming back to Texas from a summer internship in Georgia.  She will graduate in December from the University of Houston with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Her other daughter is a senior in high school, and plays varsity baseball.  She’s hoping for a baseball scholarship to St Mary’s in San Antonio.

Maria is terrified.  She is terrified that ICE will pick her up based on the color of her skin alone.  She is terrified they will revoke her green card.  She is terrified that some fool will try to solve Trump’s immigration “problem”  with military weapons at her grocery store.

She asked me to please vote for Beto.  Apparently, Beto is all over Spanish news television, through no fault of his own.  The news coverage of El Paso is heavy on Spanish tv.  It is awaking something large in the Texas Hispanic community.

I have stayed pretty damn quiet about my choice for Presidentup until now.  The truth of the matter is that I currently know of at least five, and maybe six, candidates I could get behind in a big way.

Kirsten Gillibrand isn’t one of them.

In a desperation, she is now offering t-shirts in exchange for a $1.00 donation. It’s a frantic effort to meet the donor threshold for the next Democratic debate.

If you ask me, they are way overpriced.

And she’d have to pay me a whole lot more than a dollar to wear one.

So, Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is taking Trump’s immigration policy a little further than he probably – and I can only say probably because who knows anymore  – wanted to.

According to Cuccinelli, only people who were actually born on US soil can be citizens.

“No one has a right to become an American who isn’t born here as an American,” he said.

Bye, bye, Ted Cruz.  Sorry you gave us your Canadian citizenship.

I’m sure he said it by accident but let’s hold him to it.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up. 

Guys, on September 9th (keep your fingers crossed) Bubba and I are moving.  It’s only 1.3 miles away but there’s a mountain between here and there.  We are remodeling Bubba’s 1934 brick cottage (that has been his office) into a 2 bedroom home for just us.  Between now and then, we are downsizing from 3,500 square feet to 1,700 square feet.

We were lucky to sell our house right away.  But cleaning out of 35 years and three kids worth of crap is a major undertaking. And trying to oversee the remodeling. And oh my God I’m gonna pull out my hair.

So, or the next three weeks I may only post once a day.  If El Jefe and Primo get busy, too, I’ll try to leave an open thread a couple days a week.

I’m picking tile and packing art work today.

Just be patient, please, while I only wash my hair when I need to put the fire out.
