Apparently, we’re all women now!

Anti-trans bigotry has led them to yet another foolish move. In his inaugural address, The Felon declared, “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.” That’s not the silly part, though.

One of his Executive Orders, the one against Trans people, defines a female as, “a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell,” while a male is a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.” MAGA doesn’t see the problem and smart people are already chuckling, right?

See, here’s the point: AT CONCEPTION? We ALL start female. There are NO “persons” that produce the “small reproductive cell” at conception. It takes about six weeks before the Y chromosome kicks in and starts adding the things that make males male.

Yet another charge as confession. We woke up, male and female, and went about our business. Then, with the stroke of a pen and in ONE DAY, he turned us ALL into women, probably without the consent of our parents. It’s an outrage. An outrage, I tell you!

Or he’s an idiot. You choose…

If we’re going to declare a zygote to be a human being from the moment of conception, we now have to answer the related questions: does the woman get to drive in the high density lanes? (Two people!) Can the “baby” be insured? (Every miscarriage means a pay-out.) Shouldn’t the man start paying child support from that moment? (Hell yes, he should.) There are other questions. We’ll need answers…

It can be easy to forget that California has a LOT of conservatives living here. We’re called a ‘blue state’ but there is a LOT of red, here. We even have Republican members of Congress. Let us, each and every one, pay very close attention to what those Republican members of Congress do when MAGA Mike the Johnson tries to condition FEMA money for natural disasters on whether or not we say nice things about The Felon.

Then, let us, each and every one, vote accordingly. Disaster recovery should be non-partisan. Even a MAGA might be able to recognize that. Especially when their house burned down and they need some help getting back on their feet. (They can get back to their posturing AFTER they’ve accepted all that socialized help they hate so much. You know… for others… at other times…)

I’m just pointing out, they agreed to a cease-fire. Both sides agreed. But Israel has YET to cease firing. Either they didn’t understand what they agreed to, or they didn’t care…

Politics is a weird game, isn’t it? The Felon came to California to ‘tour the LA wildfire damage.’ He’s been pretending Gavin Newsom “should have done more” about the fires. He’s been wrong, each and every time. We’ve covered it, here. There’s no municipality on the planet with a hydrant system built to fight that kind of wildfire. Yeah, the reservoir needed repair. Who knew there would be a fire when they started the work? Okay, yes, 100 extra trucks would have helped. Marginally. They would have needed thousands of trucks to fight that fire – and they still would not have been able to keep up with the Santa Ana winds.

Simply put, anybody who thinks there was something that anybody could have done, especially at the beginning of this disaster, has never fought a fire. (And, yes. I have.) But because Trump has seen a fire truck, he counts himself an expert and he has an opinion. A stupid opinion, but, hey, it’s an opinion. He has not held back, even a little bit.

So, 47 came for the photo op – to ‘tour the wildfires.’ Traditionally, the Governor accompanies the President (or in his case, the “President”) during such visits. So Trump made a show of being there, all the while stupidly “certain” that Newsom should have done more. Meanwhile, Newsom made a show of appreciating Trump’s visit, all the while absolutely certain he’s next to the dumbest person on the planet. They both made nice for a while. Now they can get right back to the charges and counter-charges. Weird…

Well, at least he didn’t pardon ONLY violent criminals. He also pardoned the founder of a website called ‘The Silk Road,’ Ross Ulbricht. That was a site set up to allow drug dealers to work together to buy and sell drugs using Bitcoin. (It turns out, crypto-currencies are very useful in criminal activities and very little else…)

During the campaign, he said he thought it was a BAD thing, to release violent criminals and drug dealers into the country. Then he got “elected” and the first thing he did was release violent criminals and drug dealers into the country. I don’t know. I’m starting to suspect he may not have been completely truthful on the campaign trail…

Well, there go the Inspectors General. You know, the people who sort of bird-dog different agencies to make sure they’re acting honestly and ethically? Yeah, those guys. Trump dumped them. Apparently, in violation of Federal law, by the way. But I guess he’s used to that. Now he doesn’t want ANY honest people around him.

Many of them were posted BY Trump in his first term. They seem confused. One of them said, “IGs have done exactly what “the President” (sic) said he wants: to fight fraud, waste, and abuse and make the government more effective. Firing this many of us makes no sense. It’s counter to those goals.”

Now, MAGA will say, “Since he’s so honest, he doesn’t need anybody watching over him.” I say an honest man doesn’t care if someone watches his honest and ethical behavior. But he just couldn’t risk it…

Since Monday, the GOP has endorsed releasing violent criminals into society. They have endorsed releasing drug dealers. They have endorsed eliminating people who ensure ethics in government. Now they have endorsed Pete Hegseth, an alleged alcoholic woman abuser. (Last November, they endorsed a sexual assailant and known Felon.)

Hegseth was confirmed on a 51-50 vote. (Ironically, 5150 is the California Penal Code section for a crazy person, and we live in crazy world now.) It was a tie, broken by Vance. The worst vote in decades, maybe ever. Even Moscow Mitch “the bitch” McConnell said, “Mere desire to be a ‘change agent’ isn’t enough to fill these shoes.” He said effective management of the Defense Department is “a daily test with staggering consequences for the security of the American people and our global interests. Mr. Hegseth has failed, as yet, to demonstrate that he will pass that test. But as he assumes office, the consequences of failure are as high as they have ever been.”

McConnell was rightly outraged after 47’s J6 insurgency, but almost immediately bent the knee and turned his attention to protecting The Felon. He, more than most, could have prevented this with the impeachment but instead, sought to protect his Party over his country. He succeeded, too. His party persists. His country? Not so much. Nice work, there, Mitch. History will record you properly…
