Opinion : Snippets: Science, Sneaker Smooching, Smelter, Splicing, Sunny, Sobs and Spouses

Science

The Olympic Games have had an epiphany. According to an MSN story, "Transgender women are set to be barred from competing in female categories at the Olympic Games following a landmark scientific review that found permanent physical advantages from being born male." 

I'm so glad that this "landmark scientific review" has finally found it to the desk of whoever is in charge of paying attention to reality. I mean who knew that men have physical advantages over women? I mean, really? They are just now figuring this out? Of course, they aren't doctors...

Sneaker Smooching

Do you remember how people were doing the whole "6 feet apart lest we kill grandma" because we were so afraid of germs? Meet Stephanie Miller a radio host who kissed the sneakers of Jasmine Crocket. "Why, yes I DID kiss the sneakers of @JasmineForUS and I DO worship the ground she walks on!" Miller wrote on X.

I mean, I thought cultish behavior was just on the right, boy was I wrong. You won't catch me kissing anything that has made contact with a bathroom floor. But whatever trips your trigger. 

Brian Smelter

Now he left CNN after his show "Reliable Sources" was canceled, but is now back on, I guess they think NOW he's reliable. I saw a clip of him talking about well another unreliable source, the BBC. 

Biut that wasn't what caught my attention. It was Smelter's new look. He looked like Al Roker. I'm not kidding. What in the world? Didn't he get the memo about how white people aren't supposed to do black face? I included a screen shot for eyebrow raising entertainment.

BBC

Speaking of the BBC, Tim Davie, Director General and Director of News Deborah Turness resigned. They were very clear in their remarks to let everyone know that at the BBC there is no bias. Nope, none, nada. Never mind that they edited a speech given by Donald Trump on January 6. You know the one where he supposedly told everyone to go to the capital to "fight like hell." 

Here's the speech, edited and unedited..with clips an hour apart put together to say what he didn't say...but THIS is quoted...BBC-edited Trump speech from day of Capitol attack with original 

This is the speech that

-brought an impeachment

-where Trump supposedly incited an "insurrection" 

I mean, there's not an inkling of bias in this 54 minute edit from Point A to Point B. As one of those weird republican types, I look at this news as a nothing burger. Why? It's been going on for so long that it's old news. No one even cares. This clip has been played so much that even I believed it, so why wouldn't everyone else on the other side of the aisle? In other words, it's what is called propoganda, and we fell for it. 

For some reason the mainstream media is having a credibility problem. I have no idea why...like my ex would say, "trust me," which meant don't.

Sunny Hostin

One of the annoying fake hosts of The View, Sunny Hostin was all bent out of shape over the government shutdown. Then she was bent out of shape that it was open. Sunny's estimated worth is a mere $6 million; her husband, an orthopedic surgeon, is worth another cool million. She wants everyone to know that she has relatives on SNAP. They are starving. Now, call me silly, but it's too bad they don't have a well-to-do relative who could send them a few hundred bucks when things hit the skids for a few weeks.

I've never been a millionaire, but I knew one. I determined after her death that I wasn't going to go out that way. Why not help your relatives while you're alive? So anyway, Sunny should have zapped some cash out and said nothing. But nooo...and I'll bet like Mamdani's make-believe aunt, she doesn't have relatives on SNAP.

Sobs

There was another thing that happend this week. Jimmy Kimmel's band leader Cleto, of the Cletones passed away at the young age of 59. Kimmel gave an excellent monologue about him, tearing up and all that. Then I remembered his heartless mention of Charlie Kirk being assassinated. I hope the two events mesh in his head a little and he realized what a jerk he was. Speaking of jerks...

Spouses

Meet Molly McNearney, Kimmel's wife. She is the co-head writer and Executive Producer of the Jimmy Kimmel show. The two were on a podcast called, "We do hard things." The irony. They rehashed the day or so that Kimmel had off from his show for his Charlie Kirk comments. McNearney said that they thought they should tell their kids what was going on. Then said her son's first question was if the president had canceled the show. The kid is 8. I doubt it. What kid understands FCC rules, TV executives and politics and then really cares at 8? But of course, they told their kids that it was of course, Donald Trump's fault. It had nothing whatsoever to do with what she had written for the show or that Jimmy had parrotted it. Nah, never mind any of that. But that wasn't the best part. 

She went on to say that her relatives are very conservative. She even bought her dad a Rush Limbaugh tie. Then she left Missouri. She said it "hurts her" that her family still believes "this way" because her husband is fighting "this man" aka Trump. She's convinced that her family voting for Trump, is, "them not voting for my husband and my family." I mean it is all about her. She said that she's lost relationships in her family because of it. She even sent out emails with 10 reasons not to vote for Trump saying she was either ignored or she got "truly insane responses from them."

These are just a few things that were out there floating around that I found amusing. Some serious things are going on as well, some good, some bad. There are things happening in health care that make me say, "Well, it's about time!" I'll get to that later. So anyway, here are just a few things to chuckle, roll your eyes over or growl about, whatever your preferred emotion is today!
