Welcome to OKCThunderGround!

I’m going to come back to this later. I have no idea why the DOJ did this, Namely because they already have enough econdemning evidence from depostions and filmed testimony to put this piece of dog shit grifter in federal prison for the rest of his life.

It’s become apparent to me even if they find a smoking gun in the execution of this search warrant you have arond fifty to sixty million Americans who will deny any wrongdoing by Donald Trump no matter how overwhelming the evidence.

I don’t understand these people, nor will I ever understand these people. Some of these are closet racists who have beenn enabled by Donald Trump. Some of them are just our dumbest variations of uneducated white trash who aren’t even smart enough to vote in their own economic self-interest. Or some of them are just the most hypocritical faux Cheistian to ever walk the face of the earth.

I don’t know. I don’t claim to know.

But I do know this… the faux Christions need to spend more time reading the New Testament than the Effective Marginal Tax Tables. That’s how deep theri Christianity actually runs…that and tort reform limitations. That’s the working Bible for these phonies.

So I have no idea what the DOJ thinks was in hiding at the palace of Trump known as Mar-A-Largo.

This guy makes Nixon look like Mr. Rodgers. No hyperbole intended.

I mean…I’m about the furthest thing from liberal, woke, or lit… but this is pathetic. Good God…when yu don’t even follow the Rule of Law you have nothing as a democracy. As in nothing

Yikes. So much for Brent Venables’ honeymoon period as OU’s new head football coach.

Cale Gundy after thirty-two years at OU as either a player, graduate assistant, or football coach was fired for using the noun ‘nigger,.

There… I said it. All these white guys in the uber soft Oklahoma sports media can’t say the word apparently. So I just said it for them.

Nigger…that’s the noun. A reprehensible noun, but a noun all the same.

Both brother Mike Gundy and Cale back in their days as members of the MIdwwest City bombers could have gotten away with wearing a Trump shirt and a saying ‘nigger’ three times in a position meeting of probably around twelve humans at OU.

But let me clue in the Gundy Brothers….this isn’t Midwest City forty years ago and Ray Gundy isn’t calling the shots at state funded universities like OU an O State.

Politically correct administarors are calling the shots. We live in an era of acute political corretness…almost to the point of nausea.

What a sad story this is on every level.

I think Cale Gundy should serve a one year suspension like Joe Mixon. He should be given the benefit of the doubt much like Jeff Lebby was given a reprieve for his years at Baylor and like Joe Mixon was given when he waylaid that drunk piece of white trash on hss seventeenth birthday inside a Norman bar.

Cale Gundy made a mistake. A human error in judgement. It should not be a life altering sentence. I’ve yet to read one thing from any past black OU player who doesn’t love Cale Gundy.

I’m a redmption guy all the way through. My father was a criminal defense attorney and my mom was a social worker. Redemption was a huge part of my upbringing. It’s in my DNA.

Joe C and Joe Harroz…do me a favor, guys. Give Cale Gundy the same mulligan you gave both Joe Mixon and Jeff Lebby.

That’s how this would be handled in Judge Jackson’s court.

OU gets started with fall practice on Friday and it’s all turned out prettty square for the Sooners.

I wish LR the best. I think if he’s stayed he would be on the hot seat right now because of OU’s incredible under acheivement last season.

I repeat when you can’t score a point in a full half of football versus the Kansas Jayhawks something is seriously amiss.

I still find all this amusing to a crtain point that a coach from, Bumblefuck, Texas now finds himself as the head guy in La La Land. But I wish the best for him.

OU is set at the QB position this season with transfer Dillion Gabriel and next season when five star recruit Jackson Arnold from Denton, Texas comes on board to join the Sooners.

It all worked out beautifully for the Sooners who are in the midst of back to back recruiting classes under Coach V which are both stocked with defensive players who who can run and tackle in space like in the old days when OU actually played defense.

All my fellow OU fans need to let go of the angst. It turned out beautifully. Joe C didn’t have to play the villain by firing Lincoln before the move to the SEC. Everybody should be happy.

BOOMER!

Maybe the greatest basketball player who has ever lived. He’s always been No. 2 on my Pantheon List of the Greatest Basketball Players Ever. But the truth of the matter is Bill Rusell off the court was a more impactful role model than Michael Jordan ever thought of being. Not a put down of Michael, just an observation.

Bill Russell came from Louisiana so as as a kid growing up he always understood the hypocrisy of racism in America.

He attended the University of San Fransico where his teams won back to back national championships. Needless to say San Francisco never made another national champ[ionship game again beyond the Bill Russell Era.

He was drafted by Red Auerbach and the hated Boston Celtics where his teams won eleven out of thirteen NBA champaionships during Bill Russell’s illustrious career.

He was not a pretty boy scrorer like Kareem, nor anything like Wilt basketball-wise on offense. Bill Russell was a warrrior on the defensive end who started the Celtics’ vaunted transition game with his shot blocking, outlet passes, and finishing ability on the break.

Bill Russell was clearly the most dominant center the game has ever known from a standpoint of making his teams better around him.

In 1966, Bill Russell was made the player/coach of the Boston Celtics. To put this in proper historical perspective, it was not until Frank Robinson in 1975 was the named the first black manager in Major League Baseball or in 1990 when the Oakland Raiders named Art Shell the first NFL head coach that a black man coached in one of America’s premier pro sports leagues.

Think about the above paragraph. Bill Russell by a margin of nine years became the first black man in America to become the head coach in either the NBA, NFL, or MLB. That is greatness and speaks to the respect which Bill Russell garnered among his peers.

Bill Russell even wrote an iconic autibiography titled Second Wind which should be a must for any serious fan/student of the NBA.

However, my favorite Bill Russell book is The Last Pass which details the strained relationship between Bill Russell and Bob Cousy up until the very end of their respective lives. Another must read for serious NBA fans and Americans for that matter on the issue of race in our country.

This past weekend the NBA lost perhaps its most influential player of all-time, while America lost one of its shining beacons.

The world is a pretty simple matter when you follow the lead of someone like Bill Russell.

I pick up my wife later today after the stay in Crested Butte and Denver. I stayred home with Pauli because she has a leg injury which needs to be attended to .

Thank goodness we’ve had a break from the heat these last several days in Oklahoma Basketball is the last thing on my mind.

This was Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s song. It is the background music at the finish of Ethan Hawke and Martin Scorcese’s wonderful six hour long movie about the lives of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodard.

Five stars from me. Home run.

You just have to see it yourself…The Last Movie Stars on HBO+.

Something to watch during the refurn from the heat next Monday. Wife was in Denver so Pauli watched it with me this time. We’ll all three watch it again next week when the heat returns.

You.ll cry in a good way.

There’s so much to take in from this movie …I need to watch it twice.

Ethan has always been a favorite of mine because of the ending scene of White Fang. Pauli immediately starting howling at the screen once Ethan was shown in the Newman-Woodward movie. It was uncanny.

I’m not really that much of a Thunder fan anymore what with the never ending tanking, but to me this a no brainer for Oklahoma City.

Build an NBA quality arena if you want to be an NBA city.

I was looking at the numbers for the recent Sacramento Kings new arena and that construction price went over $600 million dollars.

The city’s contribution rate was capped at $255 million dollars with the the team picking up all the extras they kept adding to the final design.

Team still sucks and is still on a sixteen straight season losing streak without making the playoffs. But they have a beautiful arena to lose in with never ending consistency.

Despite a reasonably decent roster, loaded with eight high end first round picks, the Thunder will once suck themselves and are projected by Vegas to win a total of 22.5 games which will again make them one of the worst teams in the NBA record-wise.

The Thunder will again be a G-League team on steroids depending on how many games Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is allowed to play.

I don’t think he makes it to the fifty-five game plateau. They would win too many game in Presti World if that happened. Presti World needs another high first round pick so they add add another physically emaciated white player to the mix who will be five years away from being an NBA player.

So my question to myself is this… who has been Presti’s best white Euro player in Oklahoma City?

Would it be Nenad or Alex Abrines? Serge obviously is the Thunder’s greatest foreign player, but of course, he’s black and never looked like he was entering the NBA as a Holocaust survivor.

I’ll go Nenad since I think Sabonis is considered an American kid.

The Thunder ranked 28th in league attendance last season but should provide an entertaining night of Harlem Globetrotter-like basketball where we all know they’re going to lose around sixty of their games by design.

This isn’t real basketball, but if you can build a new arena and keep a fan base of some sort down the road…what harm are the Thunder doing?

No harm at all. They’ll be helping downtown Oklahoma City remain a vibrant part of the state’s economic engine.

I’ll go 24-58 on the Thunder, while the Kings win thirty-two games this season.

I thought it was a pretty good week for democracy in America. The prime time Jan. 6 hearing on Thursday night was compelling. PBS, C-Span, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN all televised the hearings.

Only the Fox freak show opted to pass on the Hearing telecast. I flicked there for a second on the Tucker, Sean, Laura Freak Show and Tucker Carlson was literally talking nonsense about a California transgender lawsuit instead. These people are beyond human redemption.

Bravo to Marc Short yesterday for the public raping of the whiny little Trump-MAGA sychophant bitch named Matt Gaetz.

The only thing missing was Marc Short putting heel of his boot on Gaetz in a standing position and urinate into his mouth from a standing position. That’s the type of thing which will register with Trump Deplorables.

I wouldn’t ignore the Rupert Murdoch Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal as well. That’s one I would circle.

The problem with these Dem coastal elites types is that they’ve never come to terms with what it takes to win when you’re dealing with human filth. It’s not pretty, but if you want to win, this is what you have to do occasionally.

One way or another you want to get to conspiracy sedition and lock these losers up in federal prison for the next twenty years.

Have a nice day.

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.
