• Fox Sports cited a study saying 90% of heterosexual men are passionate about sports while only 40% of women are passionate about sports. It did bring Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together. Travis Kelce wears uniform number 87 for the KC Chiefs and Taylor Swift is the most famous 7 since Mickey Mantle.
• The Christian Science Monitor cited a surge in Catholic Church attendance, reversing decades of steep decline. On Sunday, I saw a billboard on the entrance road to the Dodger Stadium parking lot that read Need Help?- Call Jesus! at 1-800-555-8605. I did, and a Mexican in a tow truck showed up.
• Taco Bell announced it has temporarily stopped serving lettuce, guacamole, Pico de Gallo, cilantro and onions after an outbreak of a food-borne intestinal virus sickened customers. Doctors say if you have eaten at Taco Bell recently and are suffering from severe diarrhea, don't worry. It's normal.
• France's World Cup team beat Morocco and Spain defeated Belgium to reach their semi-final against each other today. France is by consensus regarded as the best team. The Russians never do well in the World Cup play because they always retreat to their own goal and wait for winter to set in.
• England's World Cup team advanced after defeating Norway 2-1 Saturday. Norway's team and their fans made famous their catchy group stunt of rowing a pretend boat to America and stroking together. The Norwegians used a pretend boat because they were afraid Trump would destroy a real one.
• President Trump called for tighter visa restrictions citing the scams and frauds pulled by Somali immigrants in several states. I'll give them this, they are a resourceful people. I know a Somali valet parking lot attendant in a nearby hotel who just sold his homing pigeon on eBay for the 22nd time.
• Bernie Sanders led the avalanche of Democratic power brokers who called for Graham Platner to exit the Senate race after the rape charge surfaced. It embarrassed national Democrats. Elizabeth Warren wants to take back her endorsement of Platner but she doesn't want to look like an Indian giver.
• President Trump repeated that his cease-fire with Iran is over after the Iranian attacks on three oil tankers prompted a massive U.S. retaliation. Buildings in Iran are displaying gigantic banners that say they will kill President Trump. They ordered the banners from an online store based in Minneapolis.
• President Trump issued instructions Friday to obliterate Iran if they assassinate him. This after Iranian street marchers carried banners demanding that Trump be assassinated. Democrats have often daydreamed of it but not even Hillary can make a missile attack on Air Force One look like suicide.
• CNN's Scott Jennings told viewers he spoke to Senator Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes on the phone and reported he sounded perfectly cogent. The hospitalized 84-year-old senator wanted the nation to know two things. That he remains in full control of all his faculties, and that man will never fly.
• Variety reported Tyler Perry is directing a biopic about the Queen of the Disco Era Donna Summer. For young adults in L.A. and New York it was an era soaked in disco, alcohol, cocaine and casual sex. In my experience, being in your 20s in the 70s was a LOT more fun than being in your 70s in the 20s.
