  1. Nina. Disinformation board undone by disinformation. I don’t think that was it. How about a horrible rollout? It was to easy to make funny memes about it. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/19/nina-jankowicz-biden-disinformation-board-czar-bla/
  2. And I thought all this time N Korea just refused to report numbers…maybe not. 2M cases in a week? https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/20/asia/north-korea-covid-outbreak-drive-kim-jong-un-nukes-intl-hnk/index.html
  3. Another article on the same Okie bill I think. The only a few exceptions. I will admit I am surprised. Let the new round of court cases begin. Will this flip seats in the legislature to state reps with more moderate positions? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/oklahoma-lawmakers-bill-banning-abortions-governors-desk
  4. Freudian slips. Irony. Gotcha moments. That was a big one in my opinion.
  5. This probably is not funny but it made me laugh. Regrets? George W Bush. Bush delivered remarks regarding the importance of democracy and threats to democracy in the U.S. and abroad. "In contrast, Russian elections are rigged," he said. "Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process. The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine."
  6. Well that answers my question. That is what I was thinking. And yes I suspect some of the women in that bathroom would leave. Maybe most. Edit: Is there a case where a male that transitioned to a female gave birth or got pregnant?
  7. How the Big10 champion game would have changed in the CFP era without divisions. Big Ten Championship Games (CFP era) 2014: No. 5 Ohio State vs. No. 13 Wisconsin (unchanged) 2015: No. 5 Michigan State vs. No. 4 Iowa (unchanged) 2016: No. 7 Penn State vs. No. 6 Wisconsin -> No. 2 Ohio State replaces Wisconsin 2017: No. 8 Ohio State vs. No. 4 Wisconsin (unchanged) 2018: No. 6 Ohio State vs. No. 21 Northwestern -> No. 7 Michigan replaces Northwestern 2019: No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 8 Wisconsin (unchanged) 2020: No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 14 Northwestern (unchanged) 2021: No. 2 Michigan vs. No. 13 Iowa -> No. 7 Ohio State replaces Iowa https://www.maizenbrew.com/football/2022/5/19/23125879/big-ten-championship-game-divisions-pac-12
  8. What scientific study did I miss or is does she mean a biological women identifying as a man? I saw my wife go through multiple pregnancies. I can safely say she is tougher than I am and I would prefer a nut punch to being pregnant.
  9. Those are still in place? Trade them for prescription drugs? Oh wait. Never mind.
  10. That is why I mentioned “or other factors” that we do not know about. Denying someone club membership based on sex or sexual innuendos….we will see what falls out. The school will not say much until it’s in court.
  11. Someone in the admin is smart. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/18/politics/biden-defense-production-act-baby-formula/index.html
  12. Well that was quick. It looks like the disinformation board is on hold and Mary Poppins resigned. I am actually surprised. I thought the administration would push forward on this… although with someone who seemed a bit more serious. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/18/disinformation-board-dhs-nina-jankowicz/
  13. I will own up to making snide remarks on this forum for sure, including this last one. Feel free to fire back anytime, I am actually OK with it, but I might fire back, as well.
  14. I prefer the constituents correct their own mistakes versus political which hunts. It doesn’t always work out that way. MTG is up next. I guess she is allowed to run now. Suing to keep a candidate from running seems bush league. I say let her constituency vote her out. if they don’t, well, more fodder for the news media. Is she in a primary race?
  15. Misuse of pronouns is not sexual harassment in my opinion. If a boy tells another boy he plays baseball like a girl (from the Sand Lot)….just kidding. You are correct in that we do not know the full story yet. Perhaps there was inappropriate touching or other factors. We also do not know what recourse the school took other than the mother’s claim that the school only sent an email that a sexual harassment claim was headed her way. We should be able to verify the email. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
  16. I didn’t know Musk had Asperger’s, and we all knew Twitter doesn’t exist for free speech. The end is funny because the Project Varitas person is trying to hint to the person in the film that he’s been had.
  17. Cawthorn lost his primary. One less stain for the Repubs I guess.
  18. Ironically, the Palmer Reports tweets sound like conspiracy theories. That said, I have seen Musk’s recent tweets and it sure looks like he is finding a way to back out…all while getting some to admit Twitter is part of the public square and taking some of the luster off the company
  19. The more I think about this, I don’t think this is sexual harassment. That is way too big of an escalation. It’s likely schoolyard bullying. Some kids decided to pick on someone that wanted a plural pronoun. That warrants a call to the parents first. If that doesn’t work, suspension. If that didn’t work, a longer suspension then expulsion. Done. No national news needed.
  20. I honestly thought it was the left that didn’t like To Kill a Mockingbird because it was offensive. Same with Mark Twain’s books. My kids read To Kill a Mockingbird at their Charter school a few years back. They also read Animal Farm. The should have read 1984.
  21. I don’t remember hearing about many African civilizations outside of Egypt being taught in my daughters charter school, but slavery and the trail of tears were taught. Do the British teach their students about the history of slavery in their colonies? I have no idea. We do though.
