Who is Saquon Barkley and where is he going?

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley hangs out with Trump after teammate dodges question on White House visit

This is an interesting article, but no reports give the whole story.  They all say the same thing.  The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, Barkley is the star running back, he spent time with Trump and his teammate is reluctant to accept an invitation to visit the White House.

I don’t give a shit about football, and wasn’t aware that the Eagles won the Super Bowl.  How did a 28 year-old football player land a seat on Marine One with the president?

Are we doing anything next year?

The Bicentennial, in 1976, was a big deal.  The National Park Service, probably at Yellowstone, named a bison, “Tennial”.  That seemed awfully clever.

Senate Democrats vote as if they don’t like girls and women.

That was the whole point of Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, so why are we still talking about boys in girls sports?  It’s been proven that Wrath of Khan was the best Star Trek movie, so Bill Paxton, in Aliens, put it best.

Women don’t need no man to go into space.

Historic all-woman space flight to include Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez

This sexist article is so patronizing.

Blue Origin says its next spaceflight is set to make history.

With celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King on board, the all-woman crew will fly into space when the New Shepard spacecraft launches from the West Texas desert this spring. The company says it’s the first all-woman flight since the Soviet Union’s Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963.

Everyone is being manipulated.

The Manipulation Machine

We are being manipulated.  We have always been manipulated, but in the past decade or so, it’s been more obvious.  How does something like the George Floyd case get world-wide attention?  Yeah, the incident is terrible, but in a country of 350 million people, all sorts of things happen all the time.

Lamentations of their women.

NYT: Trump’s New Deputy F.B.I. Director Has It Out for the ‘Commie Libs’

Michelle Goldberg, the author of this opinion piece, doesn’t understand how much we enjoy this article.  It reminds me of that famous dialogue from the movie, Conan the Barbarian.

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

Michelle’s column is all lamentations, and it is good.

The UK government is all mixed up.

I’m the abortion campaigner name-checked by JD Vance.

It’s really disappointing to see how the UK government has deteriorated.

Progressives are cool with censorship.

CBS host blasted for ‘bonkers’ claim that Nazi Germany ‘weaponized’ free speech

This is a minor incident that will circulate on social media as a meme.  A CBS journalist was talking to Marco Rubio about a speech JD Vance made at the Munich Security Council. 

Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide,

The CBS journalist was making the case that freedom and civil liberties were a tool of the Nazi Party.

Liberals never liked the 2nd Amendment, Progressives don’t like the 1st Amendment either.  The Democratic Party endorses censorship as long as they are the authoritarians.

What’s a man for?

Manliness

It shouldn’t be confusing. After all, manliness is straightforward and direct. Femininity, on the other side of the great sexual divide, is notably mysterious and inscrutable.

This article was written by a man, but he makes good points.  A related and provocative sentiment is that, “Women are all crazy and men are all assholes.”
