Babe, or the Gun? With special announcement

Hi everyone. We will post the Babe or the Gun choice shortly. I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that a new contest will be occupying the Wednesday feature starting next week.

We have teased it before but consider this official confirmation.

I want to introduce you to the SI Swimsuit Madness.

Based on the tournament format currently on display with Men’s NCAA basketball. We will be contesting two models from SI swimsuit shoots. It will be a ranked choice as these are individual match ups with the winner advancing. But to add some spice it will be a double elimination format so even if a Model loses they still have a chance to win. We will start with 64 contestants and this will be a regular feature every Wednesday. There will be two matches per week. The contestants are not only models but include athletes and others who SI did photoshoots. I hope you will enjoy the new feature.

Hollywood’s Top Native American Producer Is a Fake, Activists Claim
New York Post | March 26, 2023 | Joshua Rhett Miller

One of Hollywood’s leading Native American figures is being accused of faking her claims of Cherokee heritage, The Post can reveal.

Award-winning Heather Rae, 56, serves on the Academy of Motion Pictures’ Indigenous Alliance, previously headed up the Sundance Institute’s Native American program and claims “my mother was Indian and my father was a cowboy.” Multiple prior news reports have also cited her as having a Cherokee mother.

But a watchdog group called the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds is now demanding the Academy and the producer drop her “false claims” while activists insist she’s at best 1/2048th Cherokee. The group accuses her of profiting from usurping “real American Indian voices and perspectives” and being a fraudulent so-called “Pretendian.”

Aiieee! Mini Hand-Grenade Bullets Should Be Outlawed!

Joe Biden, 3/28/23:

Q:    Mr. President, come talk to us about guns.

? ? ?

That qualifies as a press question how?

? ? ?

Biden:

… I mean, think about this.  I mean, you know, people are beginning to see — they have on television now these emergency room doctors showing what happens when a bullet enters a body when it’s from a revolver or from another gun.  It goes in a straight line and goes out. 
 
But what happens now with that assault weapon — with a AR-15 — it goes in the body and it explodes in the body…

Also, mini-EV-Battery bullets should be banned. There’s every chance that the prosecutor might over-charge.

Remarks by President Biden at the SBA Women’s Business Summit

East Room

2:43 P.M. EDT, 3/27/23

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you.  My name is Joe Biden.  (Laughter.)  I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband.  (Laughter.)  And I eat Jeni’s Ice Cream, chocolate chip.  (Laughter.)  I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream.  (Laughter.)

By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs.  (Laughter.)  You think I’m kidding, I’m not.

Ben, how are you, pal? 

SENATOR CARDIN:  Well.

THE PRESIDENT:  One of the best guys in the United States Congress, Ben Cardin.  (Applause.)

Folks, welcome to the White House.

AUDIENCE:  Thank you.

THE PRESIDENT:  And it’s a delight to have you all here. 

And who are those good-looking kids back here? 

(Laughter.)

MS. BLAKELY:  Those are my kids.

THE PRESIDENT:  They’re your kids?  All four of them?

MS. BLAKELY:  Yes.

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, stand up, guys.  (Laughter and applause.)

Well, I want you to know, like you, I had two brothers — there were three in our family, three brothers, and one sister.  And my sister is smarter than all of us.  (Laughter.)  Not a joke. 

She used to be three years younger than me; now she’s 23 years younger than me.  (Laughter.)  You know, she managed every one of my campaigns for office, even back when I was in high school.  We went to the same university two years apart.  She graduated with honors; I graduated.  (Laughter.)  And we had a simple rule in the family: Listen to Val.  (Laughter.)  My sister, Valerie, is incredible.

So, guys, be nice to your sister.  You’re going to need her.  (Laughter.)  You’re going to need her.  I promise.

It’s the same lineup.  You’re the oldest? 

Who’s number two? 

Number two?  Who’s number three?

AUDIENCE MEMBER:  It’s both.

THE PRESIDENT:  You’re twins?  Are you guys twins?

AUDIENCE MEMBER:  No, we’re not twins.  (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT:  Okay.  All right.  Just how — just how it was in our outfit.  Well, I’m so glad to see you all, and thanks for coming with mom.  Okay?

You got to take care of your mom.  Dads are much harder to raise.  But, you know, we’re — (laughter) —

Before I begin to speak, and the reason I spent a little time on the kids, I — I just want to speak very briefly about the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.

Straight Line of the Day: What Else Could Be Considered Seditious in a Children’s Book?

Chinese Authorities Arrest Two Men for ‘Seditious’ Children’s Book
Fox News | 3/18/23 | Peter Aitken

Chinese authorities arrested two men who possessed a children’s book that officials labeled “seditious.”

Police and customs officers arrested the men, aged 38 and 50, on Mar. 13 after searching their homes and finding multiple copies of the book, which describes sheep holding back wolves from the village. The wolves want to take over a village and eat the sheep, pushing the sheep to fight back against them.

Authorities have interpreted the book as referring to Hong Kong and Beijing.
