What the hell do you know about Pam Bondi??

Here's some Florida history to chew on for now.

@UNIMAN

 I saw Joe in the rainforest the the other day & thought "the tribe has spoken."

His potential cabinet right now looks more like a junk drawer.

Sit quietly?? Nah, not me. I'll say my piece whenever I choose.

@cdog8043

 Hmmm, I seem to remember Jeff Sessions who thought he would be fired every week, Scott Pruitt who's ethics weren't his strong point, Rick Perry who wanted to abolish a department but couldn't remember which one, Betsy Devos who never visited a public school while Secretary of Education & let's not forget my favorite Ryan Zinke & many more. 

Not all cabinets are great but the one this POS is putting together is dangerous because they lack expertise in fields they will lead. C'mon Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. Shit even DeVos knew a little about school systems. Dr. Oz? Get Real

Things are going to get very interesting. 

@TheBlackKnight

 You made me laugh when you mentioned "horse watering websites." I had never heard that term.

In racing you just never know. For example, a race comes off the grass & you get 3 scratches & 2 AE horses get into the race. Right away, the AE's are "live" to me & now have to decide if those still in the race like the dirt/synthetic or the horse just really needs a race.

The limited breeding knowledge I have came to me over the years. I've always been a big fan of Frosted & Distorted Humor. Also like Speightstown.

Then you have workouts & how much do they really tell us. Asmussen is infamous for not showing anything in workouts & then bang has a 1st timer win with ease. 

Another data point I watch is the hot owners. Lately, I've been playing Klaravich, Flying P Stables, Repole & a few others. Just more data to screw with our heads.

I absolutely suck at Tampa but I just keep swinging away. I see Gallardo is back for the winter & the Camacho/Gerald Bennett combo is always something to check out. If I see anything at Tampa or Churchill, I'll certainly post it.

Heard Husky Musky is complaining about all these boxes in the bathroom he wants to use at Mar A Lardo.

Trump says he's nominating Dr. Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS.

I guess the other fraud, Dr. Phil, wasn't available or is holding out for a better position.

But then again, Gary Bussey turned down his offer because he didn't like the dental plan offered & Kid Rock wants to be Head of the Liquor Cabinet.

You Can't Make This Shit up!

Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation.

Sounds like the American version of the Taliban.

This isn't a Christian nation. It's a nation where you are free to be Christian.

WTF???

Elon has 100% spent more time with the POS in the past two weeks than Melania has in the past two years. She's probably ecstatic about that. 

This is reasonable for someone who buys a president.

In high school, Gaetz was voted to be the only one not allowed to be within 500 feet of the school. 

@wildwelder303

 I use TwinSpires for track conditions. But frankly before I even look at the conditions, the scratches immediately give me a clue that the conditions will not be fast & firm. I also know that tracks are upgraded/downgraded as the racing day takes place based on the drying out caused by rain, sun & wind.

We all check horses for their breeding & past performances on "off" tracks but what do we do when horses have never raced over that type of surface & that's the conundrum I have in making a selection.

And then a horse with no off track data or breeding clues wins going away like Secretariat. Unless I'm really Jonesing for action, I'll stay away from playing a race based on track conditions.

@fubah2

 Nah, brother. Let it go. It's not worth it.

Gracias

@UNIMAN

 We'll see how the Gaetz story plays out.

Either way, it's going to get rocky.

@TheBlackKnight

 Even though she had to go wide to pass the leaders, I thought she was home free but I saw the winner gobbling up the track & knew she was going to get caught. It was the first time Joe Ortiz has been onboard but I didn't see him do anything wrong other than him taking her into the 4 path & keeping her out there down the lane. She was heavily played with 93k bet on her to win.

Catalano has the winner, Ghostly Girl, is in good form & that was her 3rd winner in a row.

Critical Theory was there & then we wasn't finishing 4th

@SarasotaSlim

 I told you I don't give a shit if you post.

But why stay away 4 years if that's your stance?

Dana's Beauty was run down at the finish line losing by a head.

Only have 2 today because the other one scratched.

Churchill Race 5 Dana's Beauty will be the heavy chalk

Churchill Race 9 Critical Threat gets in off the AE list

@fubah2

Thanks for finding this thread. I appreciate it.

In fact, somewhere else in another thread he tried to weasel out of the bet by telling me that I would miss posting in the Horse Forum & we could call off the bet. I declined to call off the bet.

nature 1970 tried to play a conciliatory role by asking me to call off the bet so that neither of us would have to leave COVERS. Again, I declined.

Thanks again for setting the record straight.

How about Sage Steele as Press Secretary?

After Sean Spicer, Huckleberry & I'll Never Lie To You Kayleigh McEnany, the bar is pretty low.  Shit, she took a shot at President Obama's dad not being in his life so Steele would fit right in the administration. 

Problem is she has 2 things against her.
