“Clout Chaser”

From the web:

What is a clout chaser? Clout chaser is a critical term for a person who is thought to be intent on attaining fame, especially one who tries to do so in ways considered desperate, such as leveraging their proximity to famous people or doing things considered foolish, degrading, or dangerous.

When your friends hear that you comment on IMAO, they too will become clout chasers!

And here I was, thinking that the little piece of fabric worn by Raquel Welch in “1,000,000 Years B.C.” was called a clout.

She’s the back-up

… when not heels-up …

who is almost always standing right next to the president. She issues her own statements on major issues and has been tapped

… Ha! …

to deliver domestic and foreign affairs speeches . . .

Sorry. Couldn’t get past “has been tapped.” I’m sure there were more words in this article.

Ireland Saved From Extreme Heatwaves by North Atlantic ‘Cold Blob’
RTÉ News | 1 Jun 2023| George Lee

… what might not be so well known is that global warming has caused something quite remarkable to occur in the middle of the North Atlantic.

It has resulted in a huge area of cooling in the ocean to the south and east of Greenland, and off to the west of Ireland.

Since the Atlantic Ocean and what happens there is the key determinant of the weather in Ireland, there is no question that this cooling phenomenon is already having a big influence on climate change here and will continue to do so.

Many climate scientists say that the impact of this cooling patch is already protecting Ireland from the extreme summer heatwaves that have caused havoc on the continent. …

I suspect the L.A. Dodgers are involved in this somehow.

Department of Education Investigates Schools for Not Sexualizing Kids
Front Page Magazine | 25 May, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

Coordinated lawsuits are targeting schools and parents across the country.

Biden launched his 2024 presidential campaign with an ad attacking Republicans for keeping a book featuring a 10-year-old performing sex acts out of schools.

“’Lawn Boy,” one of the books shown in the Biden ad, includes lines like, “I was ten years old, but it’s true. I put Doug Goble’s ____ in my mouth.”

… and then I went to play for the L.A. Dodgers.

According to Biden, whose administration had previously colluded to investigate parents rallying against sexualizing schoolchildren with graphic materials like these as domestic terrorists, anyone opposed to having “Lawn Boy” in schools is a “MAGA extremist”. While that assault on parents was stifled, under Biden, the Department of Education is launching a new attack.

Last year, the Forsyth County School District in Georgia pulled “All Boys Aren’t Blue”, along with 7 other books from middle school shelves. It brought back all the books except “Boys.”

Now Biden is going after them.

The Department of Education conducted a civil rights investigation accusing the school district of creating “a hostile environment for students based on sex”.

With the L.A. Dodgers.
