NCAA women’s swimming champion and transgender Lia Thomas lost her legal bid to swim for the U.S. Women’s Olympic Team by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. I can see the logic of the decision. It was generally felt that Lia had an unfair advantage in the water because she has a rudder.

The Southern Baptist Convention rejected a ban on churches with women pastors. Last month the Methodist Conference voted toward reuniting with the Episcopalians. Last week’s Je hovah’s Witness Convention was the toughest crowd for a comedian because all they want to hear are knock-knock jokes.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy proposed adding a warning to social media platforms citing how they contribute to the mental health crisis for young people. Creative thinking can always circumvent regulation. Marlboro plans to add puberty blockers to its cigarettes so they can add advertise to children.

Donald Trump took his campaign to black voters in Detroit at a roundtable at the city’s largest black church. Comedy like this makes me want to live forever. With a mug shot, an arrest record, a recent conviction and three Baby Mamas, Donald Trump was welcomed to Detroit like a long lost son.

Politico reported Friday Joe Biden, 81, plans to spend fifty million dollars on a video ad calling Donald Trump, 78, a convicted criminal. And Trump, 78, will spend $50 million calling Biden, 81, senile. Normally whenever two guys their age fight like this, it’s in the balcony of the Muppet Theater.

President Biden wrapped up his trip to Italy on Friday by stopping off in Rome for an audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican. As a life-long devout Catholic, President Biden always goes to Mass on Sundays, every place he goes. If there is no Mass anywhere, he finds a clean Italian movie.

President Biden had a big Hollywood fundraiser Saturday featuring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Joe was interviewed on stage by Jimmy Kimmel. During bows at the end of the show, Biden froze for 10 seconds before being grabbed and led off the stage by Obama, whom Joe kept calling Denzel.

The Democratic Party raised $30 million at a Hollywood fundraiser show on Saturday. The Left isn’t kidding around in 2024. The climax of the fundraiser came when they picked up a voodoo doll and threw it down on the stage and 1,500 miles away, Caitlin Clark suffered a hard foul under the basket.

Biden White House ex-appointee Tim Patel, candidate for a Texas County Commissioner, was arrested for posting fake racist comments about himself and his India and Hindu heritage. India jokes are now a crime? I think it was Biden himself who declared we will never forget the heroes of 7-Eleven.

The House passed a defense spending bill that re-registers men for the draft. However the bill won’t pass in the Senate because it eliminates diversity and equity military rules now seeping into the world’s militaries. In future wars, both sides will observe a one-day ceasefire to watch the Tony Awards.

Hillary Clinton received a standing ovation in her surprise appearance onstage at Broadway’s Tony Awards in New York Sunday night on CBS. This is the second holiest day of the year on the gay calendar, right after Liza Minnelli’s Birthday. Kids under 15 can’t watch the Tony Awards in Florida.

The Truth in Labeling Act passed by Congress last year just went into effect requiring standard interpretive nutrition labels on food which give the consumer clear information. Well, it’s obvious to me that if a package of bacon isn’t re-sealable then it’s one serving. It’s just Science, I don’t make the rules.
