I can picture the scene when the old hippies at the table made the decision to fund this.....”Hee Hee this will blow the wingnuts’ heads off their necks!”

[I’ve read and reread the article. It HAS!!! to be satire. Yeah, I know they claim it’s authenticated and all that. But humans simply cannot believe such a load of malarkey. Not even hardcore libs/leftists.....can they?]

What if I told you the story of an amazing guy, whose parents were inspired by Selma, Alabama, in March of 1965 to produce a baby which would be born about a little less than 4 years earlier (plus gestation time), who could not scoop ice cream, who signed his Selective Service registration card the day AFTER it was postmarked, who had a birth certificate number lower than twins born the day after him, who openly re-used another candidate’s recorded words and who promised to raise energy prices, skyrocketing, on his very voters?

What if I told you there were tens of millions of people who put such a man into the most powerful office on Earth, not just once but twice? Would you believe that has to satire? Or is it all too real?

You would think that would be the last grant he ever got. That’s what you’d think.

I love gobbledegook. I read it all the time in “job ads”.

Every cliche was has been beaten to death. All jammed in there by some twenty-something HR person. Over and over again.

I’d run the list but it’s just too painful to repeat.

My guess is, he’s on his way to an appointment should Comrade Bernie or Bathroom Email Server Benghazi Hillary win.

I used to agonize over what to put on my resume. Then I just started essentially cutting and pasting my job description. Much easier.

$709,000 of our tax money for icebergs is a lot of “cold, hard” cash

Needless to say, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for such a study. So the House appropriations bills that helped to raise the revenue for this study were unconstitutional.

And the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate was wrong to help the House pass such bills. And whatever low-information president signed the bills in question was not doing his job to protect and defend the Constitution.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.

This includes killing appropriations bills that the House cannot justify under Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

“Academics at the University of Oregon have determined that glaciers and the science that studies them are deeply sexist.”

Time to make them out as being nuts but for that kinda
dough they went in whole hogg.

Receding Swiss glaciers incoveniently reveal 4000 year old forests – and make it clear that glacier retreat is nothing new

Shouldn’t they be using the money to study why our academics are wasting taxpayers money on useless studies?

After millions and millions of government grants the highly anticipated results of their studies are in:

1. Water is wet.

2. Sh*t smells.

3. Roses are red.

4. Violets are blue.
