Hawley’s question
Sen. Josh Hawley asked a doctor about a dozen times if men can get pregnant. Not once did that doctor say “no.” And you wonder why the Democrats are having trouble winning elections.
It’s not a tough question
Dr. Nisha Verma is an OBGYN. She’s a professor at Emory. She also could not answer a basic question from Sen. Josh Hawley on whether men can get pregnant.
No surprise
As you would expect, the people with “Don’t Tread on Me” stickers on their cars are the very first ones to scream “Just do what they tell you to do.”
It’s almost comical
It sure would be fun to see all the people who lost their minds over wearing a mask during COVID be perfectly fine with U.S. troops occupying American cities.
Girls sports are for girls
It never ceases to amaze me that there are people breathing the same air as me that think it’s totally normal and should be acceptable for individuals born as boys to compete in girls sports.
Easy to understand
President Trump’s modus operandus is rooted in distraction and division, deception and manipulation. This is so obvious, why would anyone with a working brain fall for it?
Well, we’re waiting
Still waiting for the release of the Epstein files.
