Thinking Out Loud:
With Trumps’s executive order removing restrictions on lo-flow shower heads, I can finally get my Commando 450.
One subject most all comedians seem to address is the dreaded colonoscopy—the new “rite of passage” for 50 year-olds. Foxworthy’s shtick is among the best. The night of prep before the procedure gets most of the various comics’ attention, with one explosive drano-like product often singled out for ire, “Golyghtly.” I’ve consumed this stuff twice and no product has ever been so badly misnamed. I guess “Run-Quickly” (the apt title) was turned down by the marketing people.
The makers of Rinvoq promise sufferers of ulcerative colitis “visible repair of the colon lining.” How does the “visual” part work? Just asking . . .
According to those progressive politicians and pundits who fiddled while Los Angeles burned, the freakish windstorm which drove the LA fires (after months of no rain) was the consequence of climate change. OK, for the sake of argument, if true, why did these same people do nothing to prepare for what they claim was inevitable? Even if this windstorm was truly a consequence of climate change, why did state and local officials cut funding to the fire departments and infrastructure maintenance and upgrades, and do nothing to store last year’s rainwater, etc.? They have no excuse. Elections have consequences.
Speaking of no excuses, those Los Angeles voters who said to themselves, “yeah, Rick Caruso would do a great job as mayor, but I think it more important to elect the first black woman to that office, even if she’s never run anything, so I’ll vote for her,” got exactly what they deserve. You vote for a candidate’s resume, competence, and skill set, not ideology, race, or gender. For those political offices which deal with local emergencies when they arise, being able to actually do the job really matters, not progressive virtual signaling.
All of the above leads me to ask, has Trump not done the same thing with some of his cabinet picks (i.e., Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard)? These people are not known for their resume, competency, and leadership skills, but instead for the fact they are loyal to Trump, telegenic, and vow to “shake things up.” What will happen when their competency is tested by a crisis? And it will.
I am still amazed at the ease in ditching the constitution undertaken by both Biden and Trump. While heading out the White House door, Biden declares the long-dead Equal Rights Amendment ratified upon the stroke of his pen, while in his first week in office Trump bulldozes the Birthrate Citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The courts have already said to Trump, “not so fast.”
What could possibly go wrong? Trump appoints Word-Faith heretic and pastorette Paula White to establish a White House “Faith Office.” Some Word of Faith devotee must have named it and claimed it.
