That’s a fairly standard pattern of behavior for right-wing women. For instance, anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly famously advocated for women to stay in the home and out of the public eye—while giving speeches all over the place, very much in the public eye.
How many anti-abortion Republicans have been found to have gotten one for their wife/daughter/mistress/self? How many “family values” Republicans have been found to be serial cheaters? How many are now equivocating on pedophiles?
It’s always “it’s ok for me because of my special circumstances, but it’ll never be ok for you” with that crowd. If they didn’t have hypocrisy, I don’t know what they would have.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said during a Wednesday podcast episode with Joe Rogan that lawmakers have seen evidence of “interdimensional beings.”
“I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have,” Luna said during the podcast.
“And that’s not something that I came up with on my own. That’s based on stuff that we’ve seen. That’s based on information that we’ve been told,” she added.
In February, Luna and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe requesting a briefing on all unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAP-related records in their possession, with the ultimate goal of “deliver[ing] transparency to the American people.”
She says through investigations, she’s discovered otherworldly information.
“Based on testimony that would be based on witnesses that have come forward. But what I can tell you is just we’re told that they were that, they’ve seen things,” Luna told Rogan.
“And what I can tell you without getting into classified conversations is that there have been incidences that I believe were very credible people have reported that there have been movement outside of time and space,” she continued.
I just might have to agree with her a tad here, regarding the interdimensional stuff. After all, there are those of us living in reality and then there she is, living in whatever fucking universe that nonsese comes from.
One person commenting on that article implied she may have been watching Doctor Who.
epublican Majority Leader Steve Scalise went on Fox Business to display his wild, willful ignorance regarding “public broadcasting.”
Scalise, who represents Louisiana, helped lead GOP efforts to eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which will put hundreds of free, local stations and shows in jeopardy. His response? His constituents should just pay for it.
“Getting rid of the USAID, public broadcasting—look, if you wanna go watch public broadcasting you can pay for it,” Scalise told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo. “You know, people that wanna watch your show, and a lotta people do, they can pay good advertising dollars because it’s a popular show. If nobody’s watching your program—they’re too many options today in cable programming to have taxpayers funding to the tunes of tens of billions of dollars. We got rid of that wasteful spending, and it’s just the beginning.”
This is not how public broadcasting works, or any publicly funded service for that matter. American citizens already are paying for public broadcasting, and they were receiving worthwhile content in return, from emergency weather alerts to educational content like Ken Burns documentaries and Sesame Street. And even if they weren’t, Scalise’s argument would likely leave mostly poor Americans in rural areas he wants to take public broadcasting from paying even more.
“Tens of billions of dollars?” The federal government spent maybe half a billion each year on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. And that’s the Senate majority leader, who might be expected to have more of a clue how things work.
