You've Got to Be Kidding?

In a fit of rage, Megyn Kelly expressed her extreme displeasure over announcers referring to Jill Biden as “Doctor” during the recent NFL playoff game, tweeting, “Announcers for this Eagles-49ers game just spotted the First Lady in a box and of course call her ‘Dr. Jill Biden.’ Wonder if she realizes what a wannabe she looks like insisting on this ‘fake title.’   Get a real MD, or just work on your self-esteem.” Gee, given all the tragic things unfolding in the world today, and this is the focus of your self-righteous indignation?  Interesting!   Especially when you consider your own father - the late Dr. Edward Kelly - who, like Jill Biden, also had a doctorate in - you guessed it - “education.”   Bet she’s pissed at Dr. Dre too.   Amazing how all these Republicans never seemed to have an issue with folks like “Dr. Henry Kissinger.”   I’m guessing “committing war crimes” must have legitimized Kissinger’s doctorate for them. The funny thing is that folks wh...

While speaking at Michael Flynn's “ ReAwaken America Tour ,” MAGA QAnon Scientologist and lawyer Leigh Dundas bragged about how she coordinated and secretly organized a behind-the-scenes “mass sick-out of supply chain and transportation workers” along with co-conspirators Gen. Michael Flynn, Lin Wood, Simone Gold, and Robert Kennedy Jr.   The pilot was hatched to begin two weeks before the Christmas season in 2021, in an effort to create maximum havoc with the hope of shutting down the entire country.   Dundas also boasted that while the rest of the country was suffering, her organization made certain “important people” like “key judges and their wives” got all the deliveries they needed. Wait a minute!  We have a MAGA QAnon Scientologist - and a lawyer to boot?   I did not have that on any of my bingo cards.   Well, lucky for these fascist saboteurs that this is still America, where these MAGA extremist ring-leaders almost never pay for their crimes - because i...

Buzz Aldrin announced on his Facebook page that he has married his "longtime love" in a small ceremony in Los Angeles.   The former U.S. astronaut, who was the second human to ever walk on the moon, married 63-year-old Dr. Anca Faur on his 93rd birthday.   Faur, who has a doctoral degree in chemical engineering, has served as executive vice present of Buzz Aldrin Ventures for the past four years.   Aldrin added that the two of them are "as excited as eloping teenagers." Gee whiz!  Now, THAT - is a truly amazing story!   Buzz goes all the way to the moon, only to return and discover his wife is now 30 years younger than he is.   I mean, talk about Einstein’s relativity theories concerning space/time being put to the test!   Folks, please take note, this is physics at its best. The way I see it, Buzz’s story is a living testimony to human technological innovation.  No, not some NASA innovation; I’m talking about Pfizer.   Of course, even with t...

Its being reported Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert ran into each other in a Capitol bathroom, and got into a screaming match over multiple issues - including Boebert’s questionable loyalty to Speaker McCarthy.   Witnesses say Boebert was unaware that Greene was also in the bathroom, and was taken by surprise when Greene confronted her after hearing her voice.   The confrontation apparently ended with Boebert hightailing it out of the restroom while shouting at Greene, “Don’t be ugly!” Wow, how exciting!  Finally, another episode of “Middle School Mean Girls in Congress.”   Hell, we must be up to “Season 2” by now.   Anyway, I’m sure incidents like this are exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they envisioned our “Congress.”   Of course, some might claim Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, and Madison would be very shocked by this behavior.   Perhaps, but as far as I’m concerned, after Michelle Bachmann was appointed to the House “...

Republican legislators in Wyoming have just introduced a resolution that would urge individuals and companies to abandon "the misadventure of electric vehicles" and support the fossil fuel industry.   The legislation, titled “ Senate Joint Resolution 4 ,” calls for phasing out sales of all new electric vehicles by 2035, and encourages businesses and citizens to shun electric vehicles when making their purchasing decisions. Oh, I see!  So, no one in Wyoming will be selling electric cars in the future?   Interesting, and I imagine all the “neighboring states” would like to thank all those Wyoming legislators for the business.   Of course, the electric car manufacturers are simply devastated.   I mean, having a state like Wyoming (pop. 577,000) interfere with electric car sales, could mean they’d likely sell 50 or 60 fewer cars every year.   What a huge loss! Of course, this policy will likely last until the really big dogs like GM, Ford, and Chrysler reach th...

Recent data is showing that a whopping 1 in 8 Americans experience food insecurity, while $200 billion is being spent on food that will never even be eaten.   Meanwhile, and speaking of food, an all-female group of hosts over at Fox News have turned their sharp focus on M&M’S.   It seems Mars Wrigley’s M&M’S brand has made the horrifyingly “woke” decision to put out a female-only, special edition offering - featuring Purple, Brown, and Green female M&M’S that appear upside-down on the package - to represent “women everywhere who are flipping the status quo.”   Well, don’t think you can slide something so incendiary as that past the clever hosts at Fox News.   These smart folks have determined this “female inclusivity scheme” is all part of a dastardly plot conceived with China, cleverly designed to “Keep focusing on giving people their own color M&M’S, while we (China) take over all of the mineral deposits in the entire world.” Good grief!  Thank...

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has become the most prominent Republican official to date to suggest “pregnant women could be prosecuted for taking abortion pills.”   Marshall’s office suggested pregnant women could be prosecuted under a separate 2006 state law used to punish women for “drug consumption” during pregnancy.   The rise of abortion pills has been an especially sore point for many antiabortion advocates, who are frustrated by the fact that the overturning of Roe has not succeeded in completely halting all abortions in states where the procedure is banned.   Perhaps even more concerning - is the fact that many hard-core antiabortion advocates are now pressuring state officials nationwide to consider prosecuting women who’ve “already had abortions legally.” What a terrific idea Attorney General Marshall!   I mean, since the war on drugs has always been such a resounding success, why not open up a brand new front on that war - around abortion pills?...

Well, it took a full 15 rounds of voting, as well as some very serious behind-the-scenes deal-making with the Republican Party’s hard-core MAGA, Christian Nationalist, and insurrectionist election deniers, but Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) finally came up with enough votes from that angry, bickering mob posing as a political party, to elevate himself to that cherished position of power he has so desperately desired for oh so many years, Speaker of the US House of Representatives . Luckily for him, all Kevin McCarthy had to do to secure the Speakership, was simply agree to allow the House GOP to go full QAnon on the country.  He’ll now have the privilege of presiding over a nest of half-witted, venomous pit vipers, exhibiting varying degrees of sanity.   That said, if he thinks he’s given them all they will ever want, he’s greatly mistaken.   That’s because these are the kind of folks whose mantra is simply, “all I ever wanted from life, is more! Frankly, as a veteran, citizen, an...

Well, it seems Don Jr. now has himself a seven-figure contract to do a podcast for “Rumble,” the cloud services business that is quite popular among America’s extreme-right crowd.   The service (Rumble) is currently most widely known for also hosting Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” platform.   Junior started things off by declaring “Judeo-Christian values are under attack,” and is sponsoring his podcast by selling “Made in America Bibles,” all the while claiming “I am both a former divinity student and a full-time podcaster.”   Two things that aren’t really true, but as George Santos might say, “who cares?” Hey, wait a minute - “American-Made Bibles?”   Now, exactly what the hell is that supposed to mean?   Is this Bible the new “King Donald Version?”   And, if so, is it written in sharpie?   Naturally, one would assume any Bible put out by a Trump, would be replete with scores of grammatical and spelling errors.   Oh well, no problem!   I mean...

The Vatican announced Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has died at the age of 95.   While Pope Benedict lived longer than anyone who had ever been pope previously, he was also the first pope to abdicate in 600 years.   The ultra-conservative Benedict was ordained in 1951, made a cardinal by Paul VI in 1977, and was seen as a Vatican power broker long before becoming pope.   In fact, he also headed the powerful Vatican body whose purview included sexual abuse cases.   This past year, a German investigation accused Benedict of wrongdoing and coverup in several cases during his time leading the diocese of Munich, from 1977 until 1982. Upon receiving the news, House Republicans were quick to respond to Pope Benedict’s passing, pointing out that “While Donald Trump was president, we had two popes.  Now, with Sleepy Joe Biden in the White House, we only have one.   Obviously, this is all part of Joe Biden’s War on Christianity.” Well, I don’t know about all that MAGA R...
