Donald Trump released an amusing ad in time with the eclipse. It's funny, it's self-effacing by being ironically grandiose.

Of course the left has employed its favorite mode of expression -- Feigned Autism --to claim they don't understand the "bizarre" ad. They claim they don't understand that the ad is intended to be silly.

From TIME's report:

In a new and bizarre campaign ad, Donald Trump's head takes the place of the moon and blocks out the sun in a nod to Monday's solar eclipse.

After getting the talking points/marching orders, The Independent joined the pile-on and also used "bizarre" to describe the ad:

On Sunday night, Mr Trump posted a bizarre campaign ad on Truth Social where his own head takes on the role of the moon -- blocking out the sun and plunging America into total darkness.

[...]

Some social media users were somewhat baffled by the message in the campaign ad: that Mr Trump will block out the sun and plunge the entire Earth into darkness.

I'm so, so sick of the Tactical Autism. If you really don't understand basic things, what the f*** are you doing working for a media which claims to be able to understand complicated thinks and to be able to explain these things to an audience?

Now passing from Feigned Autism to Genuine Mental Stuntedness, Sunny Hostin claims that the recent 4.8 earthquake that gently roused New York and the eclipse were caused by, you guessed it, climate change.

Hostin's unhinged conspiracy theories may have been the wildest, but they were not the first during the episode. Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin rhetorically scoffed at the idea that the Friday earthquake in New Jersey was a sign that Jesus was returning, but suggested former President Trump's gold club had something to do with it:

So, what's kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. And then I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. Fun fact. So it originated with Trump.

Hostin, a self-proclaimed devout Catholic, laughed about how their studio makeup artist "put on her coat" and "ran down the hallway" during the earthquake saying "Jesus is coming" and "the rapture is here."

She also bloviated about how it was the first time in 100 years that two different cicada broods were emerging for their mating seasons at the same time.

Apparently, all the pieces were on the table and only Hostin was smart enough to put them together, and "climate change" was the answer. "All those things together would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on," she proclaimed.

You knew things were bad when Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were the voices of reason.

"Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It's underground. It can't," Behar pushed back. But Hostin wouldn't listen to reason. "How about the warming of the planet?" she huffed in what she seemingly thought was a checkmate, without evidence of how it would cause earthquakes miles below the earth's surface.

"No, it happens. And the eclipse, they've known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen and they actually can say when these things are going to happen," Goldberg argued.

Global warming made the moon blot out the sun, and made the sky to appear as sack-cloth.

But boy! Those religious maniacs who thought that an earthquake was a sign of the first trumpet! What idiots!

Chris Cuomo has charged the Biden Administration with not caring about the US hostages still held by Biden's allies in Hamas.

NewsNation primetime host Chris Cuomo dropped some major truth bombs on his eponymous show Thursday night; directly addressing the folks in the White House he's been told "monitor" what he says and calling out how the American and Israeli hostages stolen by Hamas terrorists "have become an afterthought" to President Biden, who dropped them below reelection as a priority. He called it all "unforgivable."

At the top of his show, Cuomo noted "that people in the White House monitor what I say" and warned that since officials "won't come on the show," he was "forced to speak at you rather than to you. This is not my choice."

Cuomo chided the Biden administration for their "half-speak" and "treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise." He said the White House was using "appeasement in a situation that is not about balance" but "about realities."

"And I get how worried you are that you're not going have the same base year the last time. But that is not an excuse to be weak," he directly shouted at Biden, who he declared had "forgotten" the hostages by not making their release the first condition of a ceasefire:

There's a primary reality, okay? And we seemed to have forgotten it. Hamas is a terror organization. You designated them as that! They stole people. They need to give the people they stole back to us, to Israel, first! The hostages have become an afterthought! And that is wrong! And the reason it has happened is even more wrong! The reason it has happened is because other political exigencies and agendas have overtaken the relevance!

I don't know what that last sentence means. Just a meathead trying to sound smart. The stuff before it was good.

You don't say: UK survey finds that diversity training forces workers to conceal their true beliefs due to fear of being fired for Wrongthink.

Gript:

Almost two-thirds of UK workers who have taken part in diversity training say they have had to "conceal what they really think" for fear of losing their job, according to a new survey from British think tank, the Free Speech Union (FSI).

...

The survey from the advocacy group found that the training was "particularly unpopular" among minorities and members of the LGBT community, with 62 per cent of workers surveyed saying they had to conceal what they "really think about the training they've received," including 22 per cent who "have been compelled to say things that they don't really believe."
