Juat wanted to make sure all you neo-Nazis, KKK members, anti-Holocaust believers, domestic terorrists and Birthers know you can still for a mere $24.99 get fleeced by the greatest grifter in the history of the United States.
This would make a great stocking stuffer for those Deplorables in your Donald Trump universe who are still clinging to the thought it was Antifa using the Italian satellites to overthrow the 2020 election results.
Have a peaceful delusional week-end.
You’ve earned it.
Although you failed in hanging Mike Pence and fell far short of murdering Nancy Pelosi….it can’t be said enough how much you Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and assorted other members of America’s ruling white trash subversives truly shamed our nation with what was clearly the darkest day of infamy in our nation’s history.
You are truly special.
For one day you made all of us forget Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Jefferson Davis, Andrew Johnson, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, David Duke and Tonya Harding. You reminded all of us just how right Hillary Clinton was when she described you as a collective group of subhuman losers.
You reminded the rest of us democracy is a precious commodity which isn’t a birthright, but more of somethng which every American generation should never take for granted.
Freedom isn’t a right, it’s a privilege. Generations of Americans have fought and died for pond scum like you to actually assemble in public and protest. For you to be able to murder those in law enforcment. To destroy and deface our nation’s Capitol. To urinate and defecate in the cathedral of American freedom.
You reminded all of us how far the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Bush 41 has fallen.
You are a pathetic, tragic footnote in American history. You truly represent the worst not only in present American sociery, but perhaps the most pathetic group in the history of our Republic.
You weakened our country around the globe. You showed the side of America of which I would guess around 290 million Americans find you losers both disgusting and repugnant.
You are truly a disgrace of historical proportions. Your ignorance and stupidity cannot be an excuse for defending Donald Trump for almost six years.
You must truly suck at the thing in which we Ametricnas used to call ‘being human.’ Being empathetic. Being decent.
You’ve taken the notion of American Exceptionalism and turned it into a six year-long episode of Jerry Springer Live.
But that’s okay. Go home. Donald Trump loves you. The biggest loser ever thinks you’re truly special.

Whew.
Record breaking heat at the SDWS this afternoon. I was going to do my Dub Nation Summer League Summary, plus some comments on Oklahoma city’s G League afiiliate Thunder, but it’s just too damn hot.
My little seventy pound diva lab Paulita wants to go hike in this shit. I have at this point figured Pauli was either a Marine or Navy Seal in her previous life.
I looked at her and said…. “Mike doesn’t hike in 111 degree heat. That won’t be happening.” She now’s sulking on the couch looking extremely pissed at me. Que sera.
So instead…I’m going to play my favorite Carrie Underwood video and and maybe write my Dub Nation Oklahoma piece tonight instead of watching the MLB All-Star Game. I love the Home Run Derby, but hate the game.
How about that Juan Soto?
….
Just hit a 112 degrees at the DCWS. That could be a record. If you’re a Trump Christian Evangelical you might want to steer clear of these provoctive, swomewaht sketchy music videos on my blog today. Given we all know the depth of your religious leanings …these videos might be too much for you.
Need another song.
I never taken much time writng how the Thunder group with he aid of David Stern basically stole Seattle’s NBA team.
And I don’t plan on starting now.
In a capitalistic society you have predatory occurences like this from time to time.
Shit happens.
If OKC can’t put a $400 million dollar or so arena deal together…my guess is the Thunder end up in Las Vegas.
I don’t want to one single Donald Trump dumbass in Oklahoma bitch about the new arena.
Either build it and show the country is a major league city or basicallly shut the fuck up. I would think you could build it on the land immdiatelty east of the currently arena.
In the end… the reaping and sowing pretty much always even out.
I’ve got to go get my Dub Nation Oklahoma summer league report up.
Have a nice day.
I would hope the press conference by OKC mayor David Holt today wasn’t a surprise to anyone. I was incessantly writing about this on my blog last season in relation to the Thunder moving to either Seattle or Las Vegas.
Several years back, I sat next to David Holt on a flight from Denver to Oklahoma City. I actually liked him and was impressed.
Fast forward to today.
This is Big Boy time for Oklahoma City the way I look at it. OKC just recently ranked as the 20th ranked city population-wise in the U.S. with Seatlle at No. 19 and Denver at No. 18.
I think it’s very simple answer.
Yes…would be my answer.
Oklahoma City has come a long way the past fourteen years along with Norman. I would even say these are the only two ‘purple’ cities in the entire state of Oklahoma. I would probably incude Tulsa as well given what the Kasier Foundation has done there as well.
The other seventy-four counties….not as much.
MAPS has been a huge success. The city has redone itself and branded itself as reasonble place to live if you ignore the Donald Trump nonsense.
Despite the turmoil of the oil and gas business the city area has grown. The economy has grown jobs. Real estate values have increased. The GDP has diversified and has endured.
Oklahoma City isn’t a bad place to live next to especially if you live in Deer Creek.
The basketball team is the start engine for the city area and a great overall brand of what Oklahoma City hopes to continue to become thirty years from now.
So despite the fact I’m wearing my Dub Nation ball cap and my 2022 Klay Thompson NBA Championship T-Shirt….I would vote yes if the city wants to contiue to move forward.
I think it’s an easy vote.
It’s hard to draw many meaningful conclusions from last night in Utah because the team the Thunder played against would have probably finished as the No. 8 seed in the Big 12 last season.
Utah was brutal on both ends of the floor. Jared Butler wouldn’t even make this Thunder team when it comes down to the final cuts. I will say this though…I think Chet will be a good player and be the primary benfactor from Josh Giddey finding him in space and transition all over the floor as their games eventually meld.
Those two in transition will be special.
The Thunder will need a physical center on defense though so as Chet doesn’t get beaten to death in an 82 game schedule. I was surprised Presti didn’t pick the kid from Memphis.
I love the Williams boys…. J Will and J Dub. I think Presti really did well on those two picks.
I will predict at some point…J Will becomes the TSN (Toughness, Smarts, Nasty) equivalent on this Thunder team as Nick Collison was during his playing days in OKC.
I love this kid. He understands the game on both ends of the floor. I wonder if his father was a coach?
I usually don’t watch Summer League games…but these three have my attention. I would think think Philly will be a better barometer tonight.
I would assume Presti is going to dump Favors’ salary and there’s no way I see either Poku or Bazely playing center. Presti needs to go get him a banger or enforcer to protect Chet.
That’s the way I would see it.
As always… for the smartest, most objective takes on the Thunder follow us here at Dub Nation Oklahoma.com.
Enjoy the game tonight.
My son played in hockey tournaments in both his sophmore and junior seasons near Highland Park. I’m familiar with the area. It’s a lovely place. Steve Kerr didn’t go nearly far enough with his rant though.
BAN the automatic/semi-automatic ASSAULT RIFLES! Ban them as they were banned from 1994 thru 2004 before the 2nd Amendment was completely manipulated by the NRA for more profit.
If you want to have an automatic assault rifle then go serve your country in battle. If you Jimmy Joe Bob Jimmy Jack Bubba Rays want to be Rambo then go serve your country.
This clearly won’t solve the problem by itself given we have become a broken country, but it might be a starting point to regaining some sort of sanity in our country.
Given your deep concern for the sanctity of life it would seem logical to me.
I observed Sam Presti’s draft class and I’m going to reserve serious comment till I see Chet play some summer league games. I watched Chet played ten games this past season for Gonzaga and quite frankly I was not blown away. I’ll be dead before this Presti project ever comes to fruition either way it goes for Chet. So I hope you can understand my point of view on Chet and his frail frame.
I would have taken Jabari, but since we all knew this was probably what Presti was going to do…there’s no point at all in gnashing teeth over it. Besides…I’m a Dub Nation, Oklahoma guy now. I’ve got the championship T-shirt and ball cap and everything. Presti left me no choice. Taking Chet was just so Presti you just have to smile to yourself and be glad it wasn’t Greg Oden.
However…I love the fact Presti took Jaylin Williams with the 34th pick , and in fact, when Jaylen kicked Chet’s ass all over the the floor in the Hogs’ easy win over Chet and Andrew Timme in March Madness…on this very blog I begged Sam Preti to draft Jaylen. I would guess Jaylen is the reason Presti just waived Isiah Roby and Darius Basely just became expendable as well.
Jaylen is a Swiss Army knife who can do everything given the the way the game is played nowadays. Great motor as well. A very tough kid. If the Thunder fans don’t fall in love with this Jaylin…I don’t know what to think about them at this point….other than they’re an extremely dumb fanbase.
Now…Lu Dort. Lu Dort had El Prez (me) at hello. In this current NBA game of sissyified, overpaid, pampered entitled players who litter the NBA landscape…Lu Dort had me at hello as an undrafted player from Arizona State.
If ever a kid deserved the five year deal Sam Presti gave Lu this week …it’s Lu Dort. So…Sam Presti, you got two things right this week. Good for you.
I’m glad to be back on the blog. I was down for five weeks and told by my doctor to stay still and get my back healthy.
You never appreciate your health until you don’t have it for awhile.
Glad to be back. Hope you have a safe Fourth.
I haven’t posted for almost a month. I injured my back in a freak accident and have been instructed to stay still.
What a coincident on the first day I’ve like blogging we witnessed various segments of the Trump group start to begin the process of covering their asses and flipping the GOP flunkies and the Golden Child of Grift.
During my down time, I retired, binge watched The Netflix version of the Lincoln Lawyer, read Jaime Raskin’s book Unthinkable, then read Tony Dungy’s inspirational auto-biography Inner Strength, then watched every game the Tampa Lightning and Colorado Avalanche have played on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The path to the Stanley Cup has been much more watchable than the NBA Playoffs.
But on Friday night Steph Curry with his iconic 43-point performance did ignite the competitive embers in my NBA soul.
So…tonight, I plan on getting back on track with the Warriors and blogging on Game 5 tomorrow morning.
I missed blogging.
LET’S GO WARRIORS!
Recovery lawyer Jon Cooper is on the cusp of the first threepeat in the collective bargaining era of the NHL.
The secret of coaching at any level? Making players want to play for you.
Tampa calmy regrouped and corrected their mistakes from Game 1, then basically showed Toronto who’s the two-time Stanely Cup defending champion with a somewhat easy 5-3 road win in Game 2.
If you look at this with complete objectivity the Lightning are still the team to beat in this Stanley Cup race.
Granted, I don’t believe any other team in the era of collective bargaining as ever won a three-peat and the Tampa roster has taken some hits…they’re still the team to beat.
Tampa has the best coach in Jon Cooper. The best goalie in Andrei Vasilevskiy. And the best power play in the game with an array of talented snipers.
Then of course they have a former Conn Smythe winner and future Hall of Famer in defenseman Victor Hedman.
So maybe we should tap the brakes on the celebration in Toronto.
This was a game where Toronto went to the penalty box way too much and paid for it by giving up three power play goals. You’re not going to beat Tampa sending them on the powerplay. That’s not happening.
This still by far should be the most compelling first round matchup, but Coach Keefe is basically going to have regroup his players mentally and see if they can stay out of the penalty box.
Game 3 in Tampa.
Jon Cooper…recovering lawyer and two-time Stanley Cup champion coach. Follow your heart.
It’s raining again Deer Creek, Oklahoma. So… here’s what I’m doing…I’m bumping the NBA tonight for Game 2 of Tampa vs. Toronto.
Steven A doesn’t know cold. Cold is when you drop your kid off for a 6:00am practice at the rink when it’s twenty degrees outside.
I’m glad Steven is getting hockey into his First Takes shows.
There will be some consequential beer consumed tonight in Toronto on Young Street. You have not lived until you’ve spent a night on Young Street.
I’m amped about this game. I want to see if Coach Cooper said the right things.
Plus, the always sneaky good blue-collar St. Louis Blues play tonight. Don’t sleep on the Blues.
