I was fortunate enough to know Kenny Klein for a few decades. If I had to only pick one Kenny Klein story this would be it

This illustration created by Marc Murphy was spot on when Kenny Klein retired from UofL……

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

Iran war has cost U.S. families $100 billion between increased military funding and higher oil prices, per Moody’s

Reds vs the division:

Vs everyone else:

35-26

[JP Sears @AwakenWithJP]

The most accurate summary of the Iran war you’ll ever hear.

[Darren Rovell @darrenrovell]

At its height, 9.5 percent of the U.S. population was watching Knicks-Spurs.

To put in perspective, 26.1 percent of the U.S. population was watching Bulls-Jazz in 1998 at its height.

Americans realizing they spend $80B to bomb Iran only to pay Iran $300B more to undo the damage

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

This is beyond ludicrous.

Why the hell are U.S. Marines and soldiers saluting a UFC fighter?

The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not celebrities, influencers, or the latest personality cult. Watching service members rendered as props for a UFC spectacle is beneath the dignity of the uniform and beneath the dignity of the country.

NEWS: Big Ten officials are expected to discuss in the upcoming days a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech in any sports, per three Big Ten sources. This is in the wake of Nebraska AD Troy Dannen informing his staff today that they aren't allowed to schedule Texas Tech.

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

If NCAA appeal(s) fail, despite all their bluster & threats, no Big 12 school will boycott playing Texas Tech because it would cost league/schools financially by not playing. Also is every team going to forfeit, allowing Tech a free pass to playoffs? Ugh, no freaking way

[Jeffrey Oeswein @SULTANof_SWINE]

@bryce_spalding Has to be tipping his pitches. He had a streak of home runs allowed. Seemed like the batters knew what was coming.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Thank you @RepTomBarrett for respecting the Constitution.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Matt Brooks bragging that the Republican Jewish Coalition spent millions to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky… but if you observe the same thing, you’re antisemitic.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Several MLB owners and executives think expansion in MLB doesn’t make sense financially, per @BNightengale.

One executive said, “Why would we want to subsidize two more small-market teams? I don’t understand it. The economics don’t add up."

An owner said, “Those teams certainly won’t be paying money into revenue sharing, so it will be less money for everyone else. What’s the added benefit, to get more fans engaged? I’m not sure expansion will drive fan engagement in either market.”
