Okay, so I realize that we need to update our computer technology in government. That’s important now that we know how vulnerable we truly are.

And I think it’s nice that a committee has been formed of 14 members of congress to work on this issue, even though members of congress are probably the least informed people about technology on the whole damn earth.

Their goal?

Their wish lists vary: Some aim to change how agencies deliver services to citizens, others want agencies to be able to purchase bleeding-edge ideas, and few have ideas on how to restructure offices and expand agency missions. And they’re all concerned with government’s cybersecurity stance.

Okay, so maybe if we got some of the smartest ones together … oh hell no.

No. Just no.

Here is living proof that he cannot get his ducks in a row.

Thanks to Lydia for the heads up.

Surely you haven’t forgotten about Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker even though you tried like hell to.

Jim’s back.  He’s preaching.  Of damn course.

And there’s people who listen and give him money. Of damn course.

Now this is a little difficult to follow and even harder to believe.  So here I go.

First off, he says the recent terror attacks and Trump’s trip to Israel were the result of the closing of the Ringling Brothers Circus.  Apparently, that’s all about the elephants.

Now wait, it makes sense somewhere.

Bakker blamed the Ringling Brothers closure on a nonexistent national law banning elephants from the circus—while a few cities have barred circus workers from using bullhooks, there is no national law against performing elephants—which he contrasted with the legalization of abortion.

Bakker says it clear as day.  The circus was closed because of elephants and elephants are the symbol of the Republican Party.  God sent a coded message that Trump (the Republican Party) is going to be shut down.

Now see, I think the message is – the circus is over because you elected the damn clown.

Bakker doesn’t see it that way.

“Revelation is now, people,” Bakker continued. “Here’s what God spoke to me: The circus is over. Life as we know it, unless we turn back to God, it’s not going to be fun anymore.”

Really?  Honey, life as I’ve known it since January is not fun at all.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Like the sign says —

You know how our legislature spent the entire session fretting over who uses which bathroom and calling ICE when they see someone who looks Hispanic?

That’s because this is not considered a problem in Texas.

Lawmakers in Texas largely failed to take any significant action to address the state’s skyrocketing rate of pregnancy-related deaths just months after researchers found it to be the highest in not only the U.S., but the developed world.

If Texas was a country, we’d be undeveloped.

Hey, when you practically eliminate access to abortion,  defund Planned Parenthood, and cut funding for Medicaid, what the fool tarnation do you expect?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

As you’ve heard, Donald Trump put out some fake news this weekend because his attention span could not handle an entire sentence when they read it to him.

Okay, a horrible tragedy happens to our best friends and Donald Trump thinks the smart thing to do is to insult the Mayor of London.

Here’s what he should have tweeted …

“Do what I do — When the terrorist are about, hide somewhere and tweet and shout.”

Thanks to Rasty for the heads up.

EDITED:

Just seconds after I posted this, Trump tweeted.

Oh, I get it.  We can’t trust the video of the Mayor saying that his citizens should not be alarmed by the heavy police presence on the street because … well, look at his name!  Someone with that name has to like terrorist attacks.

Sometimes Fox News runs out of things to talk about because, like Trump, they have limited word and thinking skill, too.

So, now they’ve decided the latest liberal conspiracy is Wonder Woman. Why, you ask?  Because she’s not wearing a flag, I reply.  Oh but she is, you insist.  Nope, there’s not enough white in her costume, I tell you.  You sit in stunned silence because you simply don’t believe me that Fox News could possibly be concerned because there’s not enough white to make it really red, white, and blue.

Yeah, well, listen up.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

There’s one thing you need to know about hurricanes: They don’t mind well.

I’ve lived through several bigs ones in my life, Carla in 1961 comes to mind first because it hit us directly and the eye of the storm went over our house.  Hurricane Celia almost caused my wedding to be postponed.  Danielle, Alicia, Jerry, Allison, and Ike also come to mind at my house.  And Katrina.  I wasn’t in New Orleans but we helped take in the refugees in Houston.  I was assigned a small 87 year old woman who had been separated from her family and didn’t know where they were.

Hurricane season started last week.  I just want you to know that we are entering hurricane season with no director of FEMA because Donald Trump needs to play golf.  Even scarier, we have no NOAA Director, so we will be playing Roulette Landfall.

Trump meanwhile has made no move to appoint a new boss at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the agency in charge of the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service, which provide hurricane forecasts and hurricane warnings in advance of a storm.

Incidentally, NOAA Is predicting an above-average hurricane season this year. Trump’s proposed budget has targeted both agencies for cuts.

So, here’s my point, if we could get hurricanes to mind well, we could get it to go hit Mar-a-Loco and then stop.

But hurricanes don’t mind worth crap.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
