Thick and fast

 Who could follow Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the vaccine denialist who denies being a vaccine denialist, in the spotlight of the House?  This guy.

It's David Grusch, the elusive "whistleblower" who finally felt safe enough to poke his head out of his burrow to breach the government's conspiracy to hide the fact that We Are Not Alone.  Specifically, a UFO crashed in Italy in 1936 and the evidence was supplied to the United States after the war by no less a reliable source than Pope Pius XII.  He proceeded from there, occasionally consulting the orange space watch presented to him by Xenu of Alpha Centauri.  And he still sounded less nutty than Junior Kennedy.  Another normal day in the House Overripe Committee's Subcommittee on Woo.  The subchairman is Tim Burchett of Tennessee, where they reject evolution but believe in little silver guys.

Burchett brought an alien life form to show the committee.  This is how they reproduce.

When Joe Biden tripped over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy the right had the horse half-saddled, boots reversed in the stirrups.  So why is there so little concern over the health problems of Mitch McConnell?  Four months ago he fell down some steps and spent time in rehab.  This month he fell on his face exiting a plane in Washington.  Yesterday at a press conference he suffered temporary aphasia and had to be led away by one of the many Republican senators who are doctors.  He says he's fine, but clearly he's not.  Where are the calls for his resignation?  Where are the funny jokes like the ones still circulating about Paul Pelosi's fractured skull?  Sometimes I wish liberals were less high-minded.  

As for instance when Tim Burchett made his second appearance of the day on Fox News, only to have Sean Hannity introduce him as "Tom Burchett."  After being corrected twice, Hannity said, "I'm going to blame my staff and throw them down the stairs."  It was all very jolly, and he probably didn't.  If Joy Reid got someone's name wrong, Greg Gutfeld would have ten minutes on how a white man could do her job better.

Jerome Powell announced that the Federal Reserve has reviewed the indicators and that Bidenomics is working so well, they no longer anticipate a recession.  Expect more House hearings on the giant plot to hide impending disaster and "weaponize" the Fed against the return of Trump in glory.  He alone can fix it.

Florida's economy is humming along, too, so they won't even notice that the nation's oldest Black fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, has decided not to hold its 2025 convention in Orlando.  They're looking for someplace less racist, like Mississippi.  The state has lost an armload of events, including the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons.  When you've lost the secret handshake guys...

One thing we've learned since 2015 is that where they lie about slavery, within twenty-four hours they will lie about the Holocaust.  The task fell to Jesse Watters, a/k/a I Can't Believe It's Not Carlson.  In a morning appearance on The Five he asserted that it's just historically true that slavery taught valuable skills, while some Brit from National Review demanded an apology from Kamala Harris for daring to question these "facts."  Identifying herself as Jewish, Jessica Tarlov said she was "uncomfortable" with this and asked, "Would someone say about the Holocaust, for instance, that there were some benefits for Jews?"  Someone sure would -- funnyman Greg Gutfeld.  He read a book by "Vik" Frankl which he thinks says "utility kept you alive" in the camps.  He had to be told by the Auschwitz Memorial that everyone died in the end, once their economic utility as slave labor was at an end.  Of course, there were always exceptions, like if you happened to cross paths with Oskar Schindler.  Very few did.

Not running but drowning:  The latest reboot of the imploding DeSantis campaign might be called "Say anything.  What have we got to lose?"  So the Governissimo went on some podcast and floated the idea of putting Robert Kennedy Jr. in charge of the Centers for Disease Control.  His actual words were "Sic him on the FDA if he'd be willing to serve.  Or sic him on CDC."  That's the language of a racist cop with a dog trained to attack Black people, in the mouth of a degenerate who laughed while observing torture.  And he's only in second place?
