Wednesday Potpourri

First, Donald Trump must have been having a bad hair day. When Megyn Kelly asked him, on her Sirius XM show, whether a man can become a woman, he swung and missed, so to speak.

“In my opinion,” he finally said, shaking his head slightly, “you have a man, you have a woman.”


“I, I, I think part of it is birth,” he continued.


If that was not sufficiently incoherent, Trump continued:


“They’ll come up with some answer to that also someday,” Trump went on.


“I heard just the other day they have a way that now the man can give birth. No, I would say I’ll continue my stance on that.”


Second, some people are beginning to question Trump’s leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic. Jeffrey Tucker, of the Brownstone Institute summarized the Trump record:


The truth is that he attempted to shut down the country, blasted governments that opened, criticized Sweden for its response, backed multiple gargantuan spending bills while intimidating the one lawmaker who wouldn’t vote for them, and kept Fauci and his crew in their positions even while hosting Scott Atlas around the White House while getting nightly earfuls of truth. 


Third, a Twitter account called @Hanshawnity, in support of Ron DeSantis, offered this:


Things Trump isn't sure about: - If Chris Wray was a bad hire - Who gave Fauci the presidential commendation medal (spoiler alert: it was Trump) - If a man can become a woman. Things Trump is 100% sure about: - The vaccine saved a trillion lives - Cuomo and Newsom are better than DeSantis - Laura Loomer is a 5-star journalist.


Fourth, for a lighter touch, we have the sad story of Susanna Gibson, a woman who is running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.


It turns out that Gibson was selling pornographic video clips of herself doing dirty deeds with her husband. She also offered to pee on camera, for the right price.


When her political opponents exposed the story, which anyone can access on a site called Chaturbate, she accused them of trafficking in revenge porn.


The Daily Mail brings the story up to date:


She has issued a statement in which she said she refuses to stand down or 'be silenced' by the leak which her lawyer, Daniel Watkins, has characterized as a crime akin to revenge porn. 


Dressed in daisy-dukes and a white tank top, her blonde hair swept back in a ponytail, nurse-practitioner Gibson, 40, paced in front of her capacious red-brick home apparently engrossed in a telephone conversation. 


The ballot box will tell us whether the scandal has cost the Democrats a delegate seat.


Fifth, there is the case of Lauren Boebert, Congresswoman from Colorado who was filmed fondling and being fondled by her boyfriend in a movie theatre. 


In case you had any doubts, now you know that Boebert is smoking hot. 


For the record, her sometime beau owns an LGBTQ friendly bar that puts on drag shows.


Naturally, we do not care what the Congresswoman does in her private life. And yet, when she makes herself a spectacle in a public space, disgracing herself and her office, we have a right to notice.


For the record, apparently, Boebert knew that her sometime boyfriend owned an LGBTQ friendly bar that hosts drag shows. 


More recently, she  discovered that her date is a Democrat, and now she has unceremoniously dumped him. Some crimes are simply unforgiveable.


Sixth, Aaron Rodgers has an interesting theory of medical treatment for his Achilles tendon rupture. As you know, Rodgers is now out for the year, having been injured on the Jets’ first series of downs in their first game.


He swears that he will make a comeback, with the aid of, you guessed it, dolphins.


The Daily Mail reports:


There's idea that some of the noises from the dolphins when they're love-making, the frequency of that is actually healing to the body,' Rodgers said.


It surpasses human understanding.

Sixth, Wesley Yang shares this statement from Fenway Health, a Boston outfit that offers children puberty blockers. Some people believe that such medicines do not cause permanent damage, and that they are not sterilizing children.


In response, Yang offers the text of consent form that parents must sign if they want to have their children mutilated at Fenway Health. 


Blocking puberty development means my child will not make fertile sperm or eggs. This means that my child would have to stop puberty blockers and complete their biological puberty in order to attempt to have their own biological children later in life (i.e., become fertile). 


This would also mean that my child would develop all the usual secondary characteristics typical of their assigned sex at birth. This process could take several years and there would be no guarantee of fertility. There would also be the need for possible surgeries or other treatments to reverse the effects of having gone through their biological puberty (i.e., chest reconstruction, electrolysis, facial surgeries).


Seventh, speaking of breaches of decorum, Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman is a walking breach of Congressional decorum. 


As you know, the senator suffered a stroke that makes him barely able to speak coherently. Worse yet, his cerebral malfunctions make him incapable of buttoning his shirt or tying his tie. Ergo, he walks around in hoodies and gym shorts, desecrating the institution he is supposed to represent.


Fetterman’s slovenly appearance is not an affectation. It is a sign of brain damage. The scandal is that he is incapable of finding anyone to dress him. Then again, looking at him, are you really surprised?


Unfortunately, this breach of decorum has led Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, to relax the senate dress code, to replace an adult dress code with adolescent gang banger chic. 


Some people have no sense of shame-- that begins with the people who elected Fetterman in the first place.


Eighth, from Australia, where else? On a television show a boy told a joke. He asked it as a question?


 A vegan and a vegetarian both jump off a cliff in order to see who will hit bottom first. Who wins?


No one knew the answer, so the boy told them: Society.
