Honestly I think USA Basketball made the right call to leave out Caitlin Clark

I know I know it's not a popular thing to post but I think it's the truth. Yes, thanks to her more people are paying attention to the WNBA and she is having a good season so far and probably will be an All-Star this season and more to come. However, all of the ladies picked ahead of her have at least two All-Star Appearances. Yes I know it would be good marketing for Caitlin Clark to be there but is it to market the sport or to win the gold? For USA Basketball, it's the win the gold. I can make a case that maybe Diana Taurasi should stay home. OK maybe I should not said that. She's the only one that wasn't born in the 1990s. Heck, she's the only one that was born before I was and I should cheer on athletes like Diana Taurasi, Lebron James, Justin Verlander, and Fernando Alonso, among others. Also, that's another case against Caitlin Clark. All but Taurasi were born in the 1990s and Clark was born in 2002. Also, I'm sure there's conservatives who weren't happy that Britney Griner is on the team but Griner is a center not a guard. Clark can't play center. That might be more of a spot for Cameron Brink than Caitlin Clark. Maybe I should not go there, both mention conservatives or Cameron Brink who was drafted a spot behind Clark though Brink is on the 3 on 3 team. I'm sure there's WNBA stars who were left out on the team. Also, I like to see the USA Basketball Committee have a limit on how many times a player can play for the Olympic team. If a player wins two gold medals, they're done and let someone else play but that's up to the USABC and not me. Clark will get her opportunities but not quite yet. She needs to establish herself as a WNBA star or convince to let college stars returned to the games which is very unlikely. Also, I started this post before Cameron Brink's injury and she's out for the season and more than likely for the 3 on 3 team. Have a speedy and safe recovery, Cameron.

I have Questions about Only Murders In the Building in the casting

I should say spoiler alert for those who haven't watch it yet. Also, it got a fifth season. Wanted to share Besides who was the target, Sazz or Charles. Anyway, it starts after the play happened which I hoping becomes an actual play on Broadway. Sadly for Oliver, the play only lasts one night as his producers, the mother and son team are facing Murder/Attempted Murder charges and using that money for attorneys. Well the Murder charge with Cliff could be dropped down to manslaughter possibly. That's a shame, I would have loved to see Oliver continue working on that show. Heck I would like to see the play made for real. Charles maybe though he was the only one relived the show ended and possibly Oliver's girlfriend Loretta played by the legendary Meryl Streep who landed gigs in Hollywood. However, it wasn't the end for our heroes as they got emails from Paramount Studio to do a movie on their podcast. Also, if you remember from the season three finale. Sazz, Charles' ...

More Guns doesn't mean more safety in schools

     After the Stoneman Douglas commission led by Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri suggested that school should armed teachers it's been a divisive topic. Heck, I lost a friend because I said he didn't care for his kids and he said among other things I crossed a line. I did I admit especially 1. I don't have kids myself and 2. How would I like it if someone said the same thing to me on me not wanting to arm teachers with guns? I would be pissed too. I know I have said a number of times of Facebook and here that Republicans don't give a shit about their kids. I think when it came to the election in 2016 (and to some extent 2018) a number of people wanted for most themselves like "sorry about your schools and the environment we're about to leave you with but daddy needs a job" or "Mommy needs a job". I know low of me to say especially since I probably still have Conservatives who have kids and aren't pissed at me yet. However, if you reall...

My dream Challenge season

     Not to be confused in my Gauntlet 2 dream post I did last summer. I wished Danny was still alive to ask him if he would have spared me from the next male elimination if he was team captain. Now back to the present. I'm been trying to figure a number of things really but one of those is what would my dream season of MTV's the Challenge. What if MTV gave me control of a season and who to put in (I know wishful thinking but I'm going there). My choice of format is going to be Bloodlines (I also have another dream format called the Wes vs Bananas but I don't know who I would put in team Wes and team Bananas because I don't know who friendly with either guy so I hold off until I heard from both guys or at least Wes because that bitch Bananas blocked me from Twitter and Instagram and yet I don't regret). Also, would I block that bitch Bananas and Ashley M from the Challenge? Thought about it and decided I won't plus Bananas is the franchise plus I want to see...
