Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (8/10/22)

Quote I

"Attorney General Letitia James openly campaigned on the policy of 'Get and Destroy Trump. This political attack on me, my family, and my great company is her despicable attempt to fulfill that cynical, and very corrupt promise. James developed a political platform and made a career out of maliciously attacking me and my business before she was even elected, or reviewed one of the millions of pages of documents we willingly produced," President Donald J. Trump

Quote II

"I think it's a concern it's just fallen out of the sky. If it landed on your house it would make a hell of a mess," Australian Jock Wallace

Quote III

“A few minutes ago, I looked back across 5,500 years of human history, and so far, every single human pregnancy has been biological female,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

Secret Police stories. I don't know what is true, what is false or what contains a kernel of truth. Interesting reads all of them..........

President Trump kept 15 boxes of memorabilia from his first term in the White House in a basement storage room.

According to Miranda Devine:

The boxes contain documents and mementos from Trump’s presidency, reportedly including letters from Barack Obama and Kim Jong Un, and other correspondence with world leaders.

A legal source said that the boxes had been packed up by the General Services Administration and shipped to Mar-a-Lago when Trump left office in January 2020.

That’s right, folks: the federal government itself (GSA) had collected and shipped these boxes of signed autographs and keepsakes to President Trump in January.

But the question is: What were gas prices when Resident of The Untied States Mush Head took office?

Maybe Chocolate Jesus was onto something about surgeons and their bottom line. Children’s Hospital Promotes ‘Gender-Affirming’ Hysterectomies, Sex Change Surgeries

Boston Children’s Hospital posted a video promoting hysterectomies as a form of “gender-affirming” medical care, along with several other clips explaining vaginoplasty, facial feminization surgery and other medical treatments they offer.

The term “gender-affirming care” refers to sex change treatments to help people with gender dysphoria to present as the opposite sex, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries. The video featured a doctor describing hysterectomies — the surgical removal of the uterus — as a form of “gender-affirming” treatment while smiling as upbeat music played in the background.

Sick, twisted and demented.

Comedy is rooted in the truth.......................

Silence. Check how much time has passed, and it’s already close to midnight. Your undrunk tea sits next to you, and you wonder what kind of whirlpool your mind has been trapped in for the past 5 hours; the constantly updating wonderland of nightmarish proportion. It’s addictive. It’s connective. It’s distracting. And many places have had enough of the side effects that smartphones bring along with them.

One such place is the recently established Italian restaurant called Caterina’s in Fort Worth, Texas, run by chef Tim Love. All guests will be required to leave their phones with the hostess or host at their arrival, as well as to follow a dress code. While some have praised such a notion, others have been noting failings in the philosophy. Let’s dive into it!

HANOVER TOWNSHIP, Ohio —

A terrifying on-field injury turned into a genuine display of sportsmanship at the 2022 Little League World Series in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

The incident unfolded when Oklahoma hitter Isaiah Jarvis stepped up to the plate but was unexpectedly hit in the head by a hard pitch. Kaiden Shelton of Texas East was visibly shaken when he realized he had struck Jarvis with the full force of the ball. The pitch seemed to hit Jarvis in the earflap with such impact that it knocked off his helmet and sent it tumbling to the ground. Moments later, Jarvis and Shelton shared an emotional embrace demonstrating exceptional sportsmanship and forgiveness that was viewed over 17 million times online.
