Ben Carson coughs into his hand, then announces that President Buck Mulligan is organizing a day of prayer.  Praise be.  Every day it’s more stupid.  That lady behind him wants to spank him.

New chlamydia species discovered deep under the Arctic Ocean

Researchers discovered the bacteria deep below the seafloor, in a place with no oxygen and without an apparent host organism.

I think it’s fair to ask how the Arctic Ocean got chlamydia.

Is It Bad I Masturbate While Listening to My Neighbors Have Sex?

It depends on many things.

Wow.  I’ve sure been missing out on a lot. How does one get “proclivities”?  At Costco?  One other thing:  I’m totally willing to serve and help the Anti-Christ any way I can. Waiting for the call.

Trump issues warning to opponents: ‘It would be very bad’ if his military, police and biker supporters got ‘tough’ | The Star

U.S. president uttered the remark in an interview with Breitbart News, which said he was arguing that “the left” plays politics in a “tougher” and more “vicious” manner than the pro-Trump right.

It’s amazing that an American President (or anyone) would say such a thing. It’s pure incitement to violence. Please keep this idiocy on your side of the border.

Fox Host Under Fire for Saying Rep. Omar’s Hijab Unconstitutional

Following the House’s overwhelming passage of a resolution Thursday condemning anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, white supremacy and other forms of hate, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro attacked Congressmember Ilhan Omar—one of two Muslim women now serving in Congress—for wearing a hijab. Jeanine Pirro: “Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Qur’an, 33-colon-59 tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?” Critics blasted Judge Pirro’s remarks, pointing to the First Amendment of the Constitution, which protects freedom of religion. As outrage mounted, Fox News condemned her comments late Sunday, saying in a statement, “We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.” After her historic election victory last November, Congressmember Omar spearheaded the overturning of a long-standing ban on headscarves and other religious headwear, becoming the first lawmaker to wear a hijab on the House floor.

From the department of unconstitutional head-gear.  How is a hijab different from that lady’s big hair do?  And what is that thing Tucker Carlson has on his head? What’s hiding underneath?  He would be a lot funnier if he took that thing off.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals must lift a "gag order" and ensure Jody Wilson-Raybould can speak the full truth about the circumstances around her decision to leave cabinet.

This is the classic ‘have you stopped beating your wife’ question.  There’s no gag order.  There are legal requirements in some respects for confidentiality, and a case that’s still before the courts. The PM has no control over that.  He’s also insulting Jody Wilson-Raybould by implying she’s the type of person that would follow a “gag order”.  Just she strike you as that type?  What a stupid man.

Andrea Reimer: Surviving the shattered glass ceiling

As a woman in politics, breaking glass ceilings isn’t even half the battle. All the shards left behind by that broken glass ceiling can be just another arsenal for those who already had plenty of weapons to keep us out of power.

Archbishop says don't be 'too quick to judge' Pell, but parishioners struggle with faith

As churches around Australia celebrate their first Sunday mass since Pell’s conviction, many parishioners say they are feeling angry and betrayed

“If we are too quick to judge we can end up joining the demonisers or the apologists, those baying for blood or those in denial,” he said as he delivered Sunday mass at St Mary’s cathedral. “Our readings remind us that things are not always what they seem; that we must look beneath the surface and allow truth and justice to unfold in God’s good time.”

Holy shit, you’ve got to be kidding.  Turn that gaslight up a bit hotter.

On International Women’s Day, Jason Kenney is celebrating Margaret Thatcher…

Also he’s only celebrating Conservative Women. 🤔

Is this the man you want running your province, Alberta?

This comes the day after Jason Kenney mansplained on why he believes ‘men are better at tactical politics than women’.

Trudeau's offer of Indigenous Services to Wilson-Raybould like 'asking Nelson Mandela to administer apartheid' | CBC News

The prime minister's attempt to move Jody Wilson-Raybould to the Indigenous Services portfolio was a 'deeply humiliating' proposal and shows a lack of understanding and disconnect from First Nations' world view, say Indigenous leaders and analysts.

Jesus Christ, it gets weirder every day.   It seems counter-intuitive but it makes a lot of sense that it would be an insult. As far as i know there's never been an indigenous person in that role. (very few in govt to begin with) Trudeau could have got better advice on this before making the offer. And Butts seemed quite tone deaf on why it was an issue. The unintended casualty in all this is implementing Truth and Reconciliation, which is behind as it is. And the little progress made so far would be wiped out completely by a Scheer govt.

MMR vaccine does not cause autism, study once again confirms

A study of 650,000 children has confirmed yet again that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine does not increase the risk of getting autism

“Once again”.   I’m not sure scientists would ever have studied this were it not for the bogus Andrew Wakefield study, which started the whole myth about vaccines and autism.  Of course false science goes viral easier than real science.  I’m sure these scientists would rather be studying the real causes of autism rather than putting out these stupid fires all the time.  Well at least we’re no longer arguing about climate change.

Trudeau brags about having perfect gender balance among people he's thrown under bus

Showing politicians everywhere that it can be done, Justin Trudeau proudly announced that he had created complete gender parity with the people he was sacrificing to the political wolves in order to save his own skin.
