Lunatic Congresswoman Refers to Guam as Foreign Country
Wacky Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia spoke at a side panel at CPAC a couple of weeks ago and said that US tax dollars should not go to foreign countries like Guam. Unknown to Greene, Guam is a territory of the United States. Her full statement was: “We believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America. Not for what? China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam, whatever, wherever, right? If we want to build roads, If we want to put money into schools, if we want to build border walls, we want it right here at home.”
As a US Representative, Greene should probably know that Guam is part of the country, since she will have to vote on aid packages and policy that affects the territory. This should help make the case for normalization of places like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The average person may not know that these places are part of the United States. It’s one of the reasons why, to some, the previous administration was able to get away with providing subpar support to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. If the education system made a better effort to teach about these territories being part of the US, perhaps it could result in better support and representation for the people who live there.
Evangelical SHOCK: Babies Can Be Possessed by Demons
Televangelist grifter Pat Robertson turns 91 years old in a few days, and he is still going strong with his show, “The 700 Club.” This week, Robertson took a call from a viewer who asked if babies could be demonic. Pat thought about it for a second and concluded that it is indeed possible for infants and toddlers to be attacked by demons. The televangelist over the years has said a number of things are or can be demonic, including: secondhand sweaters, Ouija boards, yoga, Harry Potter, feng shui, karate, horoscopes, the Twilight series, paintings of Buddha, TV shows about ghosts, Halloween, psychics, young girls levitating their friends at sleepovers, and (sometimes) adopted children from other countries. These are items that people of all ages should be on the lookout for, according to Pat Robertson.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump FORCES His Way Back on Twitter
Donald Trump has forced his way back onto Twitter after finding a workaround to his ban from the social media network that began on January 8th. Trump is now releasing statements from his post-presidential office which are then getting posted as images on Twitter by Trump family members like Don Jr. Twitter would have a difficult time trying to censor these messages and there’s no indication that they would even want to. Perhaps the most pathetic of Trump’s recent statements to get reposted was this: "I hope everyone remembers when they’re getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful 'shot' for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn’t be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!"
