Jeff Bezos and Brother to Be Aboard First Blue Origin Spaceflight


Jeff Bezos and Brother to Be Aboard First Blue Origin Spaceflight:  CNN reports that Jeff Bezos, his brother, along with the winner of a month-long auction, will be flying into space on the first crewed flight of the “New Shepard,” the rocket ship made by his space company Blue Origin.  The flight is scheduled for July 20th, just 15 days after he is set to step down as CEO of Amazon.

Wow!  Now, that’s got to be just about the best “mid-life crisis bucket list adventure” ever!  I hope he’s not depending on Alexa for directions.  I guess it was either head up to space, or take the damn yacht down to Barbados yet another time.  And, to show what a regular guy he is - Bezos says he’ll be flying coach on this flight.  That said, I’d be more than happy to hold onto his wallet until he gets back - should he need someone for the job.


Of course, the truth be known, Bezos’ Blue Origin doesn’t really go high enough or fast enough to actually orbit in space.  It just kind of blasts itself up, and then quickly falls down - sort of like a “glorified roller coaster.”  Therefore, to be completely accurate, I suppose Bezos and his fellow passengers, should be really be classified as “astro-nots.”


Anyway, it appears crewed space flight is slowly becoming just a very expensive carnival ride for the extremely wealthy.  Too bad too, because I was kind of hoping they’d take Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema along with them.  Wonder if, like most amusement park rides, they’ll have a sign posted next to the rocket’s entrance that states “You must be at least 5’ tall to go on this ride.” 


Well, one thing’s for sure, you can bet all the employees at all those Amazon fulfillment centers across the country will be in their “break lounges,” eagerly watching their CEO’s space journey on the TV.  Oh, wait - silly me!  I totally forgot - Amazon doesn’t believe in giving their employees breaks.

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
