An A+ monologue tonight from Jimmy Kimmel. That is how you make your comeback. That is how you change the conversation about the death of late night to the fight to save late night. Focus the story on the first amendment and the fight to protect it from the Trump administration.

If you had any questions if we are living in an authoritarian country then ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel to satisfy the administration should have you questioning no more. A society that cannot make jokes of their leaders is not one that is truly a free country. Remember we are just 8 months in.

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

One of the more shocking evictions tonight in Big Brother. Did not think they had the votes to evict Riley. What a pleasant surprise. That moment of uncertainty from Ava is what makes this show special. #BB27

Shameful. What is most shameful is the millions of people that voted for this.

And the Rangers allowed Langeliers and d’Arnaud both to hit 3 home runs in the 2024 season.

Lot of left handers this week. I hope Jung is not sent to the IL. I would rather see Joc sent back to the IL and keep Jung active.

It’s funny how they are so mad about how Obama tried to attempt a coup and nothing is said about how Trump actually did try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It’s like they are ignoring that happened. Just a ridiculous attempt to change the story.

Man I wish we had Big Brother live feeds to tune into. I am guessing they want to keep secret the accomplice twist. That is a long dark period. Move in on Tuesday and no feeds till late Sunday night. #bb27

I swear I think I would have been more surprised if the unannounced houseguest was someone other than Rachel. I think the internet figured out those clues by Monday that it was her or Brendon. Good to have her back though. She always keeps things interesting.

Happy for Vince. I like players who want to win. Now he will be the center of every conversation over the next week and will be in a solid position after the week if he plays it well.

#bb27

Oh and Zach just signing his eviction notice on day 1. First to enter, first to win a comp, and first to win a cash prize. I hope that 10k lasts a while because that is all he is winning this summer.

#bb27

These houseguests who don’t want power are the worst. Good on Vince. Take the power and form alliances. That is the advantage of winning HOH in week 1.

#bb27

Zach tempting fate. He is the first to enter and the first to win a comp. I think only one other was truly trying to win that comp. If I was in the house I would rather have power and safety than not. I never understand this thought of throwing comps.

I don’t want to mess around with a game 7. Those are unpredicatable. Let’s get it done Thursday and not have to potentially be facing losing this series.

OKC!OKC!OKC! One win away from a title!!!!!!!! Let’s get it done Thursday night.

This is the fight the White House obviously wants. A fight against American citizens in a blue state. They could do this same raid in Arkansas or Oklahoma but would prefer to make this stand in a blue state. Good on these people for standing up for their neighbors and their rights.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

I know Jung should have been given first base with a walk, but he also should be aggressive in that situation. Runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out and he is hitting cleanup. He needs to be in swing mode and trying to drive those runners in. A failure on his and Seager’s part in striking out there.

Rangers win 11-1. Leiter pitches shutout ball for 5 2/3rd’s, the offense scores 11 runs, Semien gets 4 hits, and Texas gets their best win of the month. Great start to this series against the Cardinals. #AllforTx

Welcome to the 2025 season Marcus Semien. Have a night. 4-4 with a two run HR to cap his night. Let’s go!!!!!! So happy to see him have some success. Let’s hope this is the start of something. #AllforTX

Great start by Leiter tonight. He had command of all his pitches including a devastating changeup and fastball mix. Too bad he couldn’t get through 6. The last pitch that hit Contreras was almost a strike. Now it’s the bullpen’s job to bring the win home.

The Rangers pick up another loss. 26-29 on the season. 4-7 over their last 11. They waste another good start from deGrom. This season is like watching a slow motion car wreck every day. You know how it is going to end and are powerless to do anything to stop it. #AllforTX

Make that what 24 games scoring 2 or fewer runs. Just absurd. Is the coaching staff asking anyone to sacrifice for the good of the team? I can only think of one time a player was asked to bunt to move a runner and it failed miserably. Garcia should have been asked to bunt in the 5th. Instead he K’d.

Blue Jays number 3 hitter who already has two hits lays down a bunt to lead off the 8th and help Toronto try to add an insurance run. Texas lets their number 8 hitter Garcia hit away with two runners on and no outs and gets 0 runs in the inning. Texas has to change how they treat Garcia and Semien.

If Garcia is asked to bunt Heim and Osuna over then the Semien fly ball scores a run. If you are going to hit Garcia 8th then you can’t treat him like he is still the cleanup hitter when his spot comes up. Huge missed opportunity there in the 5th inning. #AllforTX

A win is a win and the Texas Rangers definitely needed that one. I love and hate this team at the same time. They get to go home now and hopefully start to turn things around with Seager on his way back.

Just a ridiculous game to lose tonight for Texas. 1 run lead late and Garcia can’t stay away from walking two batters and Jackson gives up the lead and then the game. Two bases loaded opportunities as well and 0 runs scored off both chances. deGrom though looked really good again though.

Way too many players not swinging at close two strike pitches tonight. Jung in the first inning with a runner on base and Haggerty in the 5th with a runner on second. Have to change the approach and be ready to foul off pitches that are close. Can’t just go down looking there. #AllforTX

The 8th inning should have been over. Leiter had the strikeout with the perfectly placed pitch on the corner called a ball. If that is called a strike Paredes doesn’t come up with a chance to hit a home run to give them the lead. Bring on the ABS!!!! #AllforTX
