The $175m bond put up for Bond's civil fraud case was rejected because a) it lacked financials (which is ironic since the case about fraudulent financials), b) the company isn't licensed in NY to issue a bond, and c) it wasn't a surety bond because it compelled Trump to pay, not the so-called underwriter.

Sometimes, all you really need is just one Splash Brother. Sure, two is ideal, but it’s not always necessary. On Sunday night, against a Utah Jazz team that has already turned their attention towards the offseason, the Golden State Warriors only needed one of their Hall of Fame duo.
The Oakland Athletics faced off today against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in the finale of their first road series of the 2024 MLB season.
The A’s got on the board first and early in the first inning with a single by Abraham Toro followed by a triple by Zack Gelof. Keeping the hit parade going, JJ Bleday singled to score Gelof. Rooker K’d for the first out of the inning. Seth Brown popped out and J.D. Davis struck out to end the rally. But not after the A’s jumped out to a 2-0 lead.
You mean the Sacramento A's? Screw John Fisher. I hope the A's fans stay home or just tailgate in O-Co's parking lot since the latter's fees go to the city, not the A's
The San Francisco Giants 3-2 series wrap victory over the San Diego Padres wasn’t a resounding one, nor awe-inspiring, nor reassuring in any way. The win was a gift. The greatest offensive player for the Giants in —checks notes — two games was Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim.
The Dodgers were drubbed by the Cubs in the series finale on Sunday at Wrigley Field, and had to wait nearly three hours for the skies to clear and make the loss official. The end result was an 8-1 win for Chicago and a series win for the Cubs.
Poor NC State. They are the ugly step-child of the Triangle triumvirate of Duke/UNC/NC State. People were wearing NC State gear out in force this last week. Out of respect, I went to go visit Jim Valvano's grave in Oakmont Cemetery.
There is a section in Oakmont for Confederate soldiers - and not just the KIAs, but the locally veterans who subsequently died. There is a little mausoleum at the base of that section, sponsored by the Daughters of the Confederacy. The engravings in the mausoleum are not "oh, we lost but they were brave". They are straight up "they fighting for freedom for a cause [slavery] but Northern aggression prevented that freedom." And they were engraved in the 1930s. Anyone who defends the Daughters of the Confederacy as a "southern pride thing" do not have to look very hard to see that it's straight up white nationalist shit.
