This week was my first real university encounter. I got an email from one of my students telling me that he’s trans, please don’t use the name on the roster, and his new name is Daisy. Uhhhh, OK. Given that I’d like to remain employed, I don’t go out of my way to be a dick, and hey I’m a libertarian, I noted this on my class list. And he came up to me after the first class to chat and… actually seemed like a nice kid, and certainly bright enough. I hope he outgrows this before he decides to cut off his dick to spite someone else’s face.
Birthdays today have some interesting ones including a guy who was truly up on current events; one of the unsung fathers of the blues and rock; a brilliant cartoonist with an allergy to pupils; a guy whom everyone thought was God; a guy whose movies you’re supposed to love or be thought of as a peasant; guy who got sent to the chair by Edward G. Robinson; the best yodeler in country music; a woman who uttered the most famous non-English line in cinematic history; a guy whose performances were verrrrry interesting; the most admirable and badass guy to ever go into space; a guy who was often wrong but always interesting (the brown Tommy Gold); the rare politician with intelligence and integrity; the king of midnight movies; a guy with an ear for music; a guy who definitely did not kill himself; a guy with a face like a flaccid penis; a woman with questionable taste in men; and a warmonger who, thankfully, will not be our next president.
Oh yes, lest we forget, Links.
Meet the new approach. Same as the old approach. (play power chords here)
It will ENRAGE Musk!!! WIN!!!!!!!! Jesus, I’m surprised these guys are still around. Talk about mediocrity.
Never change, Gruniad, never change.
Not considered: she’s just a moron who had shitty ratings.
When I teach my students about the scientific method, I always make sure to include the last step: lawsuits. Then again, to be fair, this guy is nuts. I’m ready for service of the subpoena from his lawyers.
There’s never too much Sierra Ferrell. If all country was like this, the Old Man would listen to a lot more country
I haven’t been able to watch many of their classic ’50s show — but I’d bet money Gracie Allen was not included in that (besides well… being dead at the time. 😉 )
Morning, Terrorizer of the Youth! Morning to the rest of ya!
Tales of the woke went from the frying pan into the fire. I’ve missed that on Saturdays.
Yeah… is WebDom still running that place?
The Old Man music was good as always — but someone should have helped that poor girl out when she was attacked by the cotton candy spinning machine before she went on stage.
Honorable runner up when it comes to country yodeling (I’m fond of the cover of that by The Petersons, particularly… but the original is always good).
I was about to reply with “What the hell is she wearing?”
But you answered the question.
The Bee, naturally, had the appropriate take on Green Day.
Heh… the article title on hovering is enough to make me laugh. Nice job, Bee.
“ The man’s friends and family helped him check himself into a local country club for treatment”
LOL.
Too many choice quotes to pick just one but alas.
And Elon took the words out of my mouth…
LOL!
(I meant from Old Man’s puff piece link.)
I wonder if he writes his own lines, but even if not it’s a hell of a line.
“punk” band. C’mon, there’s way too much melody in their music to be punk. They are clearly and always have been pop-punk
Take the word “punk” out and you defined them properly.
Finally — I get one before hovering (should have really seen the God one coming, I know…)!
NASA should have made him their official ambassador, especially to conspiracy conventions. They could have funded the Shuttle program from the video sales.
Happy Birthday Vince Foster!
Huh… I guessed T-Swizzle… but I suppose the “questionable” part of that is long gone in favor of “atrocious” or “God-awful”.
Flag on the play! There’s too many to guess that meet those criteria! (A couple cacklers come immediately to mind, for example…)
One of those cacklers WILL be our next president.
So… straight to Hell on the express elevator? Yay.
Gravity drop isn’t enough – this will have rockets on top pushing it down.
“He pointed a loaded gun at someone, pulled the trigger, shot her, and she died. There’s only one argument that it isn’t manslaughter: it’s actually murder.”
I think his only argument is he didn’t pull the trigger; that the gun malfunctioned. That gets around one type of manslaughter (with a gun) but not the other (recklessness, for pointing it at someone).
Assuming he’s convicted, I wonder what the sentence will be. I don’t think you can convict him of killing someone and let him just walk out of the courtroom.
Meh… maybe I’m just feeling contrary but “I was assured it wasn’t loaded (yes, pipe down gun safety folks — I know you should always check yourself!) and we were rehearsing a scene where I pointed the (safe) gun in this fashion” might relax the “reckless endangerment” that I though manslaughter required. But IANAL — maybe it doesn’t require it, maybe it doesn’t relax it… maybe I’m just talking out my butt on a Saturday morning…. But that’s about the only way I could see a reasonable juror finding him not guilty of manslaughter off the top of my head. (If said juror is a gun safety person of course — all bets are off).
From what I read, even on movie sets when filming somebody getting shot, you don’t point the gun at them. That’s handled by camera angles and editing. I suppose there might be an exception for when the gun is pointed right into the camera.
If he was a cop he’d just get additional training.
There used to be quite a few Los Angeles [celebrity] reserve sheriff’s deputies.
“Assuming he’s convicted, I wonder what the sentence will be”.
A year of picking up garbage in San Fran ought to be punishment enough.
I think they have video showing he was doing it with his finger on the trigger.
I think his statement that he didn’t pull the trigger is why it took so long to charge him. I had read somewhere that they tested the gun and determined it couldn’t have gone off without him pulling the trigger and so maybe they have determined they can disprove that statement. I think he has settled civilly with the victims/families and if they step forward in his corner, I can see something like a 1 or 2 year suspended sentence and a big fine, gun safety course and community service. I don’t think it serves anything to put him in jail and I’ve seen other types of non-gun manslaughter cases end with probation. It’s not like he had the gun because he was part of a criminal enterprise or anything like that but yes, he needs to be held accountable.
LOL!
I’m picturing four-inch heels, a halter-top, and tons of make up.
…and tons of make up.
With a five o’clock shadow still peeking through.
And a stem poking out from his panties.
When he isn’t dressing like a monk for Halloween, anyway — Friar Tuck.
Surprisingly, he had on the student uniform here: sweats and t shirts. Exception that proves the rule.
Do the sweats say JUICY on the bottom?
He doesn’t sound very committed yet.
He really comes off as a nice kid who’s dealing with some confusion rather than a harpy-wannabee.
I’d expect at least a little effort.
Which women’s varsity sports team is he on?
Inoffensive, nerdy, and a little pudgy, so I’ll guess chess.
I’m sure you’re thinking that because you heard him mention it to a classmate en passant.
Maybe he just saw him taking a step to the right after two steps forward?
He strangely walks diagonally everywhere he goes
Daisy pawn in game of life.
Of course if Daisy made it all the way across the board, she could be a queen!
I wouldn’t be able to resist calling on him in class asking him to “Give us the answer, do”… but I’m weird like that.
Apparently Roman (the one exposing Wills’ shenanigans) is maybe the smartest hire Trump ever made.
I know it has been said here almost every day since this story broke — but the explicit billing record of “consultations” with the White House right before this case was raised and the “Special Counsel” (that can’t legally be a special counsel) is the much more interesting tidbit. Some serious coordinated persecution of a political rival with a potential paper trail is what that looks like.
Because if there’s anything conservatives are known for over the last 50+ years, it is being upset that celebrities with opposite politics (which is almost all of them) are mouthing off about what they think… of much of anything….
“Shut up and do your job” is about the most I’d expect as a reaction.
OMG I just read more of that stupid article.
Searing commentary! 🙄
In somewhat related and just as relevant news, Culture Club have come out as MagaMagaMagaMagaMagaChameleons.
Now that I’d listen to. Is Boy George still alive?
All the news that’s fit to fabricate.™️
And they say the US manufacturing sector is down!
a guy with a face like a flaccid penis
Happy Birthday Adam Schiff!
That sounds to me to getting awfully close to a critical mass of stupid.
I’m going to save my blood pressure and not read the inevitable steaming pile of garbage.
I’ve been reading along at steynonline dot com.
During jury selection, there were 70 potential jurors hanging out in an area open to the public.. Bill Nye went in and mingled with the prospective jurors, many of whom reacted with statements like “hey you visited my class in 5th grade!” and “You’re the science guy!” Nye told them “Mike Mann is a good friend of mine.”
Ridiculous.
many of whom reacted with statements like “hey you visited my class in 5th grade!” and “You’re the science guy!”
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nye the not the science guy is a loon. It comes as no shock he is buddies with Mann the not a science guy.
It’s not like the decades of propaganda will taint the jury pool or anything.
Howdy, Glibs. After a week and a half at New Job all I can say is the work is absurdly easy and I’m being overpaid…

That’s how you do it!
Congrats.

Not beyond looking at Slack and checking a couple of incoming defects for other teams to make sure they aren’t anything we’re responsible for on a Saturday, no.
Yeah I have to do a little work tomorrow.

“Fani Fingered: Jilted Wife In Trump-Georgia Fiasco Drops Bank Statements Revealing Lavish Vacations”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fani-fingered-jilted-wife-trump-georgia-fiasco-drops-bank-statements-revealing-lavish
Just scanned the article but found the headline funny-ah the hubris of pursuing a politically partisan prosecution based on a questionable legal premise while having scads of easily traceable unethical/illegal public money expenditures sitting there like a ripe apple for an interested party to pick. It’s almost unbelievably stupid.
OK, I didn’t check all the links. I blame myself.
I’d blame your avatar if I was you.
Look fat, she promised not to date people that work for her. Case closed.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/gazette.com/news/wex/fani-willis-s-old-comments-come-back-to-haunt-her-amid-allegations-over-prosecutor-relationship/article_19ac5867-0b8b-5da3-a69e-47c464cb55af.amp.html
Trump really is blessed with retarded enemies.
It’s racist to expect a black woman to keep her promises in 5… 4… 3…
See also the preachers that are over the top against the gays.
She thought that she was untouchable because she was a black female Democrat prosecutor going after Trump. You see the same pattern a lot of times. It’s made worse by the fact that our Ruling Class is increasingly mediocre, so you give a mediocrity a hall pass to do whatever they want, and this is what you get – stupid shit done in broad daylight.
The remarkable part is somehow the MSM aren’t covering for them.
Really? What coverage would a white-male-conservative DA be getting for this while politically attacking a leftie POC? You think the scales are in equipoise?
Re: Fani paying her boytoy in the high six figures:
She’s trying to get the subpoena dismissed, partly on the grounds that it’s irrelevant to the divorce case since she didn’t start banging the husband until after they separated. I can think of more than one way that its relevant, starting with the wife’s claim for marital property. Were those vacations on the books as as “business” trips (in which case half the money they spent was hers)? Unless they actually were business trips, so what were they doing?
I also see that Hunter’s buttbuddy has had a bar complaint filed against him, since lawyers aren’t supposed to pay their client’s personal expenses and Hunter was a client of his. His defense is “Hey, nobody said I couldn’t help out a friend!” Well, I don’t think there is an exemption from that rule for friends, so we’ll see how that goes. And there’s no way that sleazeball wasn’t doing plenty of other unethical shit, either.
“But ever since the band—singer/guitarist Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool—broke out of the Bay Area 30 years ago with catchy pop-punk anthems for a jilted generation, it’s always been obvious what side of history they’re on.”
I had to tap out here. I suffered a serious concussion from my eyes rolling to the back of my head
As someone who’s a fan of the pop-punk music/era, I’ve never understood the appeal to Green Day. Even their highly touted album “Dookie” sucks. Sum 41 and Blink 182 were way more consistently good.
I preferred The Offspring when it came to the pop punk bands of the ‘90s. Green Day did have a coupla songs that weren’t terrible though I’ll admit.
Never considered offspring to be pop punk, but they’re one of my favorites from that decade
Their best song, J.A.R., was done specifically for a Disney movie. It don’t get more punk than that.
As someone who’s a fan of the pop-punk music/era, I’ve never understood the appeal to Green Day.
Goodthink.
I never knew or gave a shit about Green Day’s politics. Bad Religion was my jam and their dopey politics are way more obvious.
I didn’t even know the band members’ names, but now that I do, Tres Cool has some ‘splainin ’ to do.
Trannyism is a mental illness. Society and culture shouldn’t be enabling and normalizing it. But hey. I know this isn’t a popular opinion in the zeitgeist but that’s what happens when we become godless. We’re aimless. We have nothing to ground us but spin around in a hyped-up secularized nightmare.
Anyway.
Fun fact: My cousin’s street was named…Andre Ampere.
It’s a more popular opinion in the zeitgeist than you think I think. The only people continuing to buy in on all of that noise are academics, cynical politicians, the transsexuals themselves, mothers who like to engage in Munchausen’s by proxy, and the unfortunate kids who get swept up in a social contagion that seems to be on the ebb.
Well said.
Unfortunately, I don’t hold such optimism. I think there are droves of single women who buy into this shit wholecloth, primarily because they have fully submitted themselves, in act and in thought, to evil “thought leadership”.
(not to say that single women are the only people who buy into this, but they’re the group most susceptible to “I believe it because the left peddles it”)
How many of them really believe it and buy in and how many are just chasing clout, even if they don’t quite realize that’s what they’re doing? When the social cache of having a trans kid goes mostly out of the window they’ll move onto the next big thing that’s hopefully less destructive. There’ll always be deadenders though.
they’ll move onto the next big thing that’s hopefully less destructive
Yes, they’ll move on to the next thing. No, it won’t be less destructive.
In one sense it’s clout chasing, but in another sense, it’s herd behavior. The shepherd chooses the direction of the flock. Their shepherds want the deconstruction of western civilization and the construction of a new socialist (wo)man, albeit they think in critical theory terms rather than the OG marxist lingo.
Perhaps most susceptible, but people in general, divorced from traditional morality/religion/mores, are adrift and will latch onto anything.
You can be divorced from religion and not immediately go batshit insane.
Women tend to be more conformist then men, so once you crack that with something new for them to conform with…
Your cousing was going to rock down to… electric avenue!
Is there much resistance to that? Does he/she live in Watts?
Society and culture shouldn’t be enabling and normalizing it.
I don’t care what notions others labor under. I don’t care what you do.
But it’s so weird that I need to be bought into and support the least idea percolating in some stranger’s head.
We had a couple of centuries when you could get away from others’ opinions, but now you can’t. There’s media, size of government all these things we can’t get a way from that have undue influence.
I’ll pound this drum again: most Americans don’t actually believe in freedom….and this mob will not let you be.
But they believe that they believe in freedom. Ask the diehard voters. It’s the thing Joe is running on, democracy/freedom.
Oh, look fake punks pretending to be punks attacking low-hanging fruit.
Where were they when the state was beating their fucking asses down?
Fuck off Green Day. Fucking fake ass pansies.
Where were they when the state was beating their fucking asses down?
Standing in line for the jab, wearing masks and keeping 6 ft of distance. Much anti-authority.
What’s the opinion around here about Michelle ‘Big Mike’?
Is she a tranny?
And more disturbingly, what are the odds she runs on the DNC ticket?
Am I allowed to use the word ‘tranny’?
No. Her daughters look just like her now that they’re older. I can’t explain the pics of the weird bulge but I don’t think there’s a Y chromosome at play.
Or the board shoulders.
I see those pics of this guy ‘Mike’ Obama allegedly ‘dated’ juxtaposed next to Michelle but those things can’t be trusted.
She just looks like a husky woman.
Given what we have seen over the last ten years nothing, nothing at all, seems beyond the pale. Nothing would surprise me.
I have privately thought for a while that if the DNC power brokers become convinced that their fortifying isn’t sufficient to drag Biden’s corpse over the finish line then Michelle will parachute in at the convention and vacuum up the superdelegates.
I think it remains to be seen if the first condition is met yet.
What could be more Democratic than to not run in a single primary and still capture the nomination. I’d almost like to see that.
More likely than Joe making it to November.
The findings come as the Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates to their highest point in 20 years. The report casts serious doubt on the need for further interest rate hikes, and instead calls for stronger policies to rein in “corporate profiteering”.
Needs more windfall profits tax.
The corruption in North America is over the top through the roof epic. Even the most basic of ethical standards they flout overtly. NO, you can’t just hand a sweet contract to your friend.
And a Canadian MP used the Costanza defence for a similar offence:
‘Was that wrong? Was I not supposed to do that? I gotta tell ya, it’s a tricky one.”
The ethics commissioner was so stunned (since even kids know this basic baseline not to cross), that he recommended Liberal MPs take a course on ethics and promptly resigned. Probably because of a combination of astonishment and heavy work load.
Justin is worse than I could ever have imagined. This isn’t a country. It’s a colony.
Decadence.
This isn’t a country. It’s a colony.
Reversion to earlier form?
It never EMERGED from it.
Canada just became a country because the British just didn’t feel like fighting the Americans over Hudson’s Bay Co. territory and wrote us off into ‘independence’. The HBC wanted to maintain a monopoly and so it was granted. To this day this ‘country’ operates on monopolistic (and mercantilist) grounds.
We still have the mindset of colonials.
At least it’s pretty.
Very purrrrty.
“We’ve decided as a country that we like to have very large, powerful corporations and we are OK with them being very profitable,” she said. “We need to take a really hard look at how our tax code incentivizes corporate profiteering and ask: ‘Do we as a country want to do something about that?’”
We are incapable of just and equitable self government. Bring on the global socialist dictatorship.
Fundamentally stupid people should have no public voice.
Equity is more important than equality, everyone knows that. We can all be equally miserable except for the leaders and they deserve that lifestyle.
It is almost as if none of them read Harrison Bergeron.
Worse, they read it and identified with Diana Moon Glampers.
very profitable
I’m with Milei: why are we not thrilled? They made such a great product/service and made so many people happy….we HATE them
^^^^THIS!!!!!!
In spite of various flaws, Microsoft, Apple, etc. have made people’s lives better globally. We should be overjoyed.
The left prefers the misery. Arguments about prosperity and the like are meaningless to them.
Again, you have a gun and you are responsible for everything that happens after that. Put the mani in prison.

Is Mann still withholding his data? Second part: I have stopped paying attention to ‘activists’. They are empty people desperately trying to find meaning in their lives and they will grab anything and run with it. One thing today, another tomorrow. They will never shut up. Oh, and I thought acid rain was going to turn the face of the earth into a hellish moonscape, what happened about that?
You are correct: There is never enough Sierra Ferrell
“They are empty people desperately trying to find meaning in their lives and they will grab anything and run with it. One thing today, another tomorrow.”
Eric Hoffer nods sagely.
Quoted for truth.
The problem is the “activists” won’t stop paying attention to you.
What’s the ozone layer, chopped liver?

Bred for hard work in a harsh environment.
“In his first public statements on the course of the war, Eisenkot said that claims the dozens of hostages could be freed by means other than a cease-fire amounted to spreading “illusions” — an implicit criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who heads the five-member War Cabinet and who insists that pursuing the war will win their release.”
This presupposes that recovering the hostages is the primary goal of the war which I argue it is not. The primary goal of the war is the extermination of Hamas and any deviation from that goal to recover hostages only incentivizes more hostage taking by similar groups in the future. If you rescue hostages in the process, so much the better but there’s a reason that Israel’s default position for decades has been “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”.
we don’t negotiate
Everyone negotiates, and the times when Israel has is too long to miss,
but I’m not gunning for you and it doesn’t matter.
The IDF is doing the only thing that they can do, that any military can do: kill folks and break things. If they kick up a few hostages, that’s nice, but it can’t be a primary goal or a management point. For Israel, Hamas is an existential threat, so they’re going to burn it all down and salt the earth….that’s just the math of blood and soil situation…..it can’t be any other way. The hostages are a sunk cost, probably somewhat avoidable, but it’s spilt milk, something for mothers to cry over.
It’s like Ike pushing the go button on D-Day: he knew several thousand would die, but that’s just the price of poker. Twisting over the details just doesn’t hlep.
The pressure to end the offensive probably just pushes them to be less careful in their targeting and more aggressive in their push through the strip. Knowing that support is going to end means winning before then.
They cannot leave with Hamas in control, that would simply encourage Iran to ramp up funding for Hamas military and terror operations.
Complete obliteration really is the only option. It is kinda shocking that they spent so many years tolerating periodic rocker barrages that can only target city sized areas.
Agreed. The whole point of the hostages is to make “deals” which means more attacks in the future.

Stories
These stories were and are important to tell, because they reveal to the world the endemic nature of sexual violence. But if we are going to move forward we have to find a new way of talking about sexual abuse. We have to find a different way of understanding consequences, accountability and what it means to be a victim.
In the stories we tell about rape and abuse, women are the victims, men the violent perpetrators. When women are allowed agency in the stories, frequently they are framed as monsters fabricating lies to bring down the men who are the object of their fixations. Rarely is there recourse for justice, for agency or for vindication.
In the stories we tell about rape, women are so often the objects of violence, lacking agency to stop it, subject to terror. Every woman, whether she’s been a victim of sexual abuse or not, has a story of fear, of walking alone at night with keys poised in her hands like tiny daggers, cold dread tickling her neck. Through these stories, even ones where there is a form of justice, women learn to be afraid. We walk through the world on unsteady feet, knowing that at any moment we could become victims of a crime for which there is little justice. In one moment, one night, the hands of one man, our bodies will be, we are told, ruined. In all of these stories women are disadvantaged, unable to defend ourselves. We are always the subject, never the actor, the one taking control of the narrative. And the men who abuse us are almost always invincible — rarely reported, rarely caught, rarely prosecuted.
A brutal rape every ten seconds. It’s a wonder there are any women left at all.
Turgid, irrelevant prose is turgid and irrelevant.
Sam Colt has an answer to that, ladies. Little else will suffice — there will always be evil in the hearts of humans, and you will always be the only one who can protect yourself when it comes to every moment of your existence.
Oh, and maybe don’t have this stupid spiel talking about a decades old event that she doesn’t even remember that would have been laughed out of court if it wasn’t OMB takedown bait, hmm?
It’s Rousseavian bullshit to the bone – men were pure once, but society/patriarchy corrupts them and turns them into violent beasts. We must make men the docile cattle they once were.
In the stories we tell about rape and abuse, women are the victims, men the violent perpetrators. When women are allowed agency in the stories, frequently they are framed as monsters fabricating lies to bring down the men who are the object of their fixations.
There’s a simple fix to this. Stop pretending that sex later regretted and poor drunken choices are the same as being violently assaulted in a back alley by a guy with a knife.
I was having a semi-serious rant about Green Day Thursday night when they were on Fallon. Green Day is not punk. They may have been at some point (although I don’t think they ever were), but they definitely aren’t now. They’re power pop and they aren’t close to as deep as they seem to think they are. Also, what punk band has ever sided with the establishment?
All of them for the last ~10 years?
*No idea at all*
Rage In Support Of The Machine?
Not punk, nevermind.

Experienced
An experienced hiker died in New Hampshire’s White Mountains after making a distress call in which he said he was “very cold,” and his body was recovered by a helicopter amid severe winter conditions, officials said.
Christopher Roma, 37, made the distress call to acquaintances Tuesday night, the New Hampshire Fish and Game said in a news release Thursday. The acquaintances then contacted 911.
Officers with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation were informed of the hiker’s distress near Mount Bond in Lincoln on Tuesday at 10:20 p.m., the news release said.
“Eventually the hiker made contact with NH 911, and coordinates were obtained that placed the hiker between Mount Bond and Mount Guyot,” the release stated.
Before the call disconnected, Roma said, “he was very cold” amid heavy winds, frigid temperatures and snow, according to the release.
“‘Taint a fit night out for man nor beast.”
Obviously not experienced enough.

Slanderous nonsense
Hunter Biden’s deposition in front of House GOP lawmakers will be the “nail in the coffin” of the long-standing investigation into the embattled son of President Joe Biden, according to one Democrat.

“I suspect that he will be the final nail in the coffin of what is a completely bogus impeachment investigation based on what he said publicly previously,” Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat, told CNN’s Manu Raju on Thursday evening. “I’m eager for him to come in, set the record straight, and respond to the slanderous attacks that have been made against him by Republicans for years now.”
Let Joe get back to saving the nation.
The democrats certainly have no end of willing shills who will say literally anything they are told to say, however ridiculous it might be.
I suppose it is partially the result of living in a consequence free environment. Schiff still maintains his office. That says it all.
And here I thought Baghdad Bob died.
Heh.. That is certainly the level they are operating at.
They don’t come dumber than Dan G.
Winco was a Cub Foods franchisee/licensee up until sometime in the 90’s when they renamed their stores.
Thanks. The store here is undoubtedly a former Cub. It took me a while to get a fix on it, but I used to go to a Cub Foods store in Indianapolis, mid-’90s. Funny thing- when Walmart announced they were bringing their (at the time) new mega-store with groceries concept to town, Cub pretty much just locked the doors and left town.
In many years as an advisor, I had three students who were transgender. I don’t know if they had used drugs or been operated on yet (didn’t ask, didn’t care). They were all M2F, BTW. Also, they were all perfectly pleasant and unassuming.
Patricia Crouse, a political science practitioner in residence at the University of New Haven, told Newsweek on Friday that she suspects the upcoming closed-door deposition will mimic previous hearings, “that although Hunter Biden may have engaged in illegal activities, his father was not involved.”
“And I think that no matter how hard the Republicans try to spin his testimony, Hunter Biden and his legal team have successfully shown how ‘unserious’ they are about getting to the truth,” Crouse said. “I am not sure how impactful his testimony will actually be.”
A “political science practitioner”?
What the everloving fuck does that mean?
Oh, A bullshit artist!
