Shrewd, SlipUp, Or Just Plain Stupid …

In a meeting with hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals: “It’s unacceptable seeing ‘fat generals and admirals’ in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading commands around the country and the world. It’s a bad look.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Ebony McMorris, reporter for American Urban Radio Networks (AURN): “Mr. President, what are your plans for—” McMorris began (one of the few Black reporters in the WH Press Corps). “Quiet. You’re really obnoxious,” said Trump. “I’m not obnoxious, but I’m trying to ask you what about your plans for Memphis, Mr. President?” “You are really obnoxious,” said Trump (president of the USA).

“I think she’s a disgraceful person, you know, I think she’s a disgraceful person, a loser. It’s amazing the way people vote. I know it’s people from her area, maybe of the world, I don’t know. They got here and they vote her in. I don’t know. It’s hard to believe. But I think she’s a disgusting person.”
That’s the President of the United States of America making remarks about seated member of the House, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), to reporters in the Oval Office.

‘If Republicans don’t block voting rights, Democrats will allow “child molesters” and “illegal aliens” to vote and Republicans will be out of power for years’. Ted Cruz, Republican U.S. Senator from Texas. Same Ted Cruz who voted to force changing legal votes of Electoral College. Went so far as to incite an insurrection.

News Disorder, It’s A Thing   I’m always tired because at night I can’t sleep unless I watch the news.  Then I watch the news and can’t sleep.

Your Tingly Leaving   You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like someone? That’s your common sense leaving your body.

Don’t Wanna Know   It is possible to lead a cow upstairs – but – not downstairs. Question: Why in the hell would you want to take a cow upstairs? Wait, no, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.
