I love the irony of DTJ criticizing Biden’s poor performance on camera - by making a video with a poor performance. (“Poor performance”? That’s an understatement! “Just Say No”, Donny.) ---

Ole Junior is giving a creditable imitation of the old man, by forgetting (or never knowing) that China has been nuclear capable since 1964. Maybe we’re supposed to give him a pass because it happened 13 years before he was born, and apparently about 58 years and counting before he was fully conscious. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > I think I’ve seen that very phenomena right on this board. Yeah, I have asked some folks if they’d posted something while drunk, when their posts were uncharacteristically belligerent and/or incoherent. Most of the time they admit they did. (Of course, there is also the possibility that some or all were lying and grabbed onto that as an excuse…) ---

Not that Don Jr would deliberately make his father look bad, but as we’ve seen the Trump family are not the most self-aware bunch. ---

A Boston hospital is refusing to provide a man with a transplant heart because he refuses to get vaccinated. > **[Hospital refusing heart transplant for man who won't get vaccinated](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/brigham-and-womens-hospital-boston-refusing-heart-transplant-man-wont-get-vaccinated/)** > > Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston says its policy won't allow DJ Ferguson to have the surgery since not being vaccinated seriously hurts its chances for success and his long-term outlook. Their reasoning is that they only provide transplants to patients who have a chance to survive, and if you aren’t vaccinated, you’re not likely to survive. ---

Jeez… I looked up that list that Matt Krause came up with. It has books on the KKK as a terrorist organization listed, as well as _A Handmaid’s Tale_. _Confessions of Nat Turner_, and _V for Vendetta_ on it. Generally speaking it’s just a list of books aimed at schoolchildren that address racism, sexuality, or LGBTQ issues, or books that mention those things, as if the very mention of racism or homosexuality is an issue. ---
