My early economic forecast for 2025:

Market will fall 10% from start of year to end
Unemployment will end at 5% by end of next year.
Inflation will be at about 6.5% annual rate by end of the year.
The general global economy will be trending towards recession.

I am making my economic bets on this.

So Trump is going to put an insane tariff on coffee because he is angry about being caught blowing up and killing innocent Columbia fishermen.

My football teams suck but at least I’m not a Jets or Giants fan. That is just deep hurting.

I hate that I live in a state capital with nothing of strategic value but bases within 50 miles in all directions would be nuked and I have to die by radiation poisoning.

Does the Giants kicker even get to fly back to NY?

Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames.

Reported just 12 minutes ago.

Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks.

Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.

Current state of football in the state of Florida (Pro and College).

Map of state of Florida. Northern part of state from Gainesville and north listed as “No football”.
Southern part of state from Orlando south listed as “football”.

Norvell should be available soon.

I support Ukraine! Fuck Trump and his buddy Putin.

Just a reminder the US “King” has forced the US Military to murder other countries fisherman with active emergency beacons because he is a war criminal.

Dag. @3fecta.bsky.social · 20h

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

Football season lasted longer than last year. But all my times officially suck. So my fall weekends are free for other things. Back to casual fan until next year

Jags game almost over. If they don’t score 7 on this next drive, they are finished.

Jim Mogle @fsumogle.bsky.social · 19h

That Newsome trade is beginning to look like a huge mistake. He can’t cover anything.

Jim Mogle @fsumogle.bsky.social · 19h

FSU beats Bama. Then they become shit.
Jags beat KC. Then they become shit.
That is my football fandom this year.

Jim Mogle @fsumogle.bsky.social · 19h

Jags have turned back into a pumpkin.

Jim Mogle @fsumogle.bsky.social · 19h

All of my football teams started well.
They teased me.
Now they all suck.

Jim Mogle @fsumogle.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve seen enough stupid from FSU. Going to bed. Jags play early and at least they play decent.
Let me know when Norvell is fired.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Florida got so lucky.
Although maybe they didn’t if Napier keeps his job.
