Here We Go

How about that Donald Trump?  Bitching and whining about elections in California. What a pussy he is. 

Can the New York Knicks win the NBA title, which would be their first in 53 years? Who knows, but the San Antonio Spurs are looking like the team of the future in the NBA. 

Oh yeah, it's being reported Trump will attend Game Three in NYC at Madison Square Garden. The majority of New Yorkers hate Trump, so he will be soundly booed if they make a spectacle of him attending.  

The NHL Stanley Cup Finals feature two warm weather cities as the Carolina Hurricanes and Las Vegas Golden Knights battle it out . . . meh. 

The baseball season is in full swing and once again, the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers are confounding the so called experts as they sit in first place in their divisions. And the Atlanta Braves have the best overall record in Major League Baseball in early June. How about that? 

The U.S.A. is celebrating the 250th birthday of the country in about one month from now and Trump is ruining that with all the nonsense at the White House. MMA fights? Seriously?

Some of us were alive back in 1976 when the U.S.A. celebrated the Bicentennial that year and President Ford didn't make a big spectacle of things. The country just went about the events with traditional celebrations, parades, picnics and fireworks. 

The United States will bounce back from all this crap with a ridiculously corrupt government led by Trump and his cronies . . . count on it. Justice always prevails. 

Summer time is near and it's time to get out and enjoy the weather and fun times ahead. 

God Bless America!  

 

 

 

 

 

Observations On This Memorial Day Weekend

 

Here we are late in May (2026) and another Memorial Day weekend is upon us. 

As the so called war in Iran drags on and on under the rudderless Presidential Administration currently serving in Washington, D.C. and the profits continue to pile up for the oil companies that gave the so called current President of the United States billions of dollars two years ago during the campaign, but what is the point of it all? 

The greedy people of this world continue to grab all they can for their own financial coffers and the hell with the rest of the world.

Yeah, that sounds like a real plan for success. 

The problem is too many people are complacent and the news media they choose to follow is being narrowed down to a nub in some cases as the greedy rich people and corporations buy up more and more of the information that is put out to we the people. When all is said and done, it doesn't really matter much because those greedy people are going to die just like everybody else who comes into this world. When it's time, it's time. 

They are futile in their efforts to gain as much as they can while diminishing living conditions on earth for the rest of the people. 

Greed is never successful. 

It might look like it is in material goods and a bank account or asset holdings and corporate bottom lines, but the people responsible are made of flesh and bone and someday will be long gone from the planet. So while the news media tends to fawn all over these billionaire types and heaps praise upon them as the people who watch those news outlets continue to idolize them, remember that nothing lasts forever and corruption always gets exposed in due time. 

Always. 

On this Memorial Day weekend, take some time to remember those who truly gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in military service so this country could continue to have what we call freedoms and God given rights to all people. The world continues to evolve and people have choices to make, but let it be known and said that this too shall pass. The current mess the president and his cohorts have made will eventually go away.  

Whether or not the people of this world want to have changes made depends on how they view their world. If they choose new leadership, perhaps things can go in a different, more sensible direction. When does the greed stop? Who knows, but one thing for certain, it cannot be allowed to continue at the current pace or this world will no longer be what it was for so many years. 

Livable for the billions of us people who inhabit the planet earth.

MICHIGAN WOLVERINES WIN TITLE

The Michigan Wolverines won the 2025-26 NCAA Men's Basketball championship with a 69-63 hard fought win against the Connecticut Huskies on Monday night in Indianapolis. Wolverines guard Elliot Cadeau was named the Most Valuable Player for the tournament. 

The Wolverines ousted Arizona, 91-73 on Saturday in the Final Four match while UConn defeated Illinois, 71-62 to advance to the title game. 

 

   Congratulations to the MICHIGAN WOLVERINES - 2025-26 NCAA Basketball Champions!  

 

 

Major League Baseball - 2026 Season Preview

As the calendar rolls around to the month of April, that can mean only one thing . . . Baseball is back! 

The 2026 Major League Baseball season actually starts in just a few days in late March and it seems like every team is chasing the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have won back-to-back World Series titles and added a big bat to the lineup as well as one the best closers in baseball to their bullpen. 

 

There is always wonder once the new season starts ans this year will be no different around the major leagues. The Dodgers (on paper) look to be solid yet again and should be right there come October when the chips are down. There are several teams in the National League that will challenge for the pennant, including the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers and possibly the San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. 

Over in the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays will be looking to defend the crown and get back to the World Series, where they were so close to winning it all before the Dodgers rallied back to steal it away. The Blue Jays have a decent lineup and solid pitching, although sometimes their bullpen was a problem, including in that Game Seven loss to Los Angeles in the World Series. 

The Blue Jays play in what is considered by many to be the best division in baseball. Yes, the American League East is stacked yet again with the New York Yankees right there along with Boston and Baltimore and even Tampa Bay, though the Rays look like they may have taken a step back this off-season. The A.L. Central features the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals and those three teams should do battle all summer long. The West division looks to be the Seattle Mariners title to lose, unless the injuries mount. The Houston Astros cannot be counted out and the Texas Rangers could have perhaps the best starting pitching in the junior circuit this season. 

All in all, it should be an exciting pennant chase and when the dust settles next October and the post-season begins, who knows who will be there to claim the World Series title?

March Madness

It's that time of the year again. 

NCAA Basketball means March Madness as millions of people fill out a bracket, trying to guess which college team will win it all this year and eventually cut down the nets at the Final Four on April 6 in Indianapolis. 

Well, here at Heftyinfo it's no different, so here goes nothing in picking the Final Four teams and eventual national champion. 

The call is for Houston and Connecticut (UConn) advancing to Indy as number two seeds while number one teams Arizona and Michigan get there as well. From there, Houston beats UConn and Arizona knocks off Michigan to set up the final game. 

The pick here is Arizona to defeat Houston, which would be the second year in a row the Houston Cougars come up short in the NCAA Championship Game. The Arizona Wildcats are the pick to win the championship game and cut down the nets when all is said and done.
