You've Got to Be Kidding?

In the wake of the terror attack in Israel by Hamas, Donald Trump Jr. has put out a new video advising Americans to purchase AR-15s and 30-round clips to protect themselves and their families "Because if people in motorized paragliders come into your home - that's what it's for.”   Don Jr. further justified the AR-15s by claiming that “The government is too busy spying on your grandmother and conservatives to protect you,” adding that training to use assault weapons is also a terrific way “to bond with the family.” Wow, move over Jewish Space Lasers, COVID vaccines, and cancer-causing windmills.  Seems there’s a new kid on the block - motorized paragliders!   Sounds like someone’s getting a wee bit paranoid.   A little too much “Columbian Nose Candy, perhaps?”   MAGAs are like, “Hell, I think I saw one flying through my linen closet.”   So terrific!   Next thing you know, we’ll have half-witted, fentanyl-strung-out MAGAs firing assault weapons at anyth...

Former National Security Council expert and adviser to Donald Trump Fiona Hill, says the international community is extremely fearful about what's happening in the United States, with the rise of fascism and democracy hanging by a thread.   A poll found that Canadians are especially concerned about a huge influx of US refugees at their southern border, trying to escape retribution from fascist mobs, should Trump manage to seize power again. So, Canada, ‘eh?  Well, well, what’s this fuss all aboot?  Now, I live in sunny southern California, and to be honest, before I’d ever even consider moving to Canada, I’d have to think very hard about which is worse - fascism or winter?  So, not to worry all my maple syrup sucking, hockey puck slapping - friends to the north.  A lot of us couldn’t take your winters anyway.  Besides, Canada could always build a wall, and have Trump pay for it! And then, there’s Mexico to the south.  It has great weather, a low c...

Noted Univ Penn Math Professor Booted from Plane Over Terrorist Fears:   Guido Menzio, a distinguished, award-winning economics professor from the University of Pennsylvania, was removed from an American Airlines flight when a female passenger sitting nearby, reported him as a terrorist after noticing he was doodling odd-looking symbols while the plane was waiting for take-off - which she misinterpreted as Arabic writing, instead of the math calculations which they actually were.   Good grief!  I fully understand this poor lady’s concern!  I mean, math has always terrorized me too.  Now, I don’t like to start rumors, but my guess is this professor may have been involved in a secret-organization that speaks a language that has struck terror into many a poor soul over the years.  It’s called “Al Gebra.”   Unfortunately, this doesn’t end well for our ever-vigilant lady traveler, because shortly after the flight was ready to resume, the airline replaced...
