TRUMP COVERS "I FEEL PETTY" FROM WEST SIDE STORY AFTER PROCLAIMING HIMSELF BETTER LOOKING THAN KAMALA

 

TRUMP COVERS "I FEEL PRETTY" FROM WEST SIDE STORY AFTER PROCLAIMING HIMSELF BETTER LOOKING THAN KAMALA



Once upon a time in the land of politics, there was a man named Old Donold Trump who had a penchant for making bold statements. After claiming that he was better looking than Kamala Harris, he decided to cover a classic song from West Side Story, "I Feel Pretty," to express his newfound confidence. Here's how the parody went down:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty, and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight

Old Donold Trump strutted around the stage, his hair perfectly coiffed and a smug grin on his face. He twirled and pranced, feeling like the belle of the ball as he sang his heart out.
I feel charming
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real

The audience couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Old Donold Trump attempting to be charming. His attempts at grace and elegance were more comical than convincing, but he seemed blissfully unaware.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

Old Donold Trump gazed at himself in an imaginary mirror, striking poses and blowing kisses to his reflection. The crowd erupted into laughter, thoroughly entertained by his delusions of grandeur.
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

As Old Donold Trump pranced around the stage, he couldn't help but imagine himself as the object of adoration for all. In his mind, he was the epitome of charm and allure, a vision of loveliness that no one could resist.
Have you met my good friend, Maria?
The craziest girl on the block
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced
State of shock

Old Donold Trump paused for dramatic effect, pointing to an imaginary figure in the crowd. The audience played along, pretending to spot this "Maria" who was supposedly in a state of shock.
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane

The crowd erupted into laughter as Old Donold Trump painted a vivid picture of Maria's delusions. His exaggerated gestures and animated expressions added to the comedic effect, leaving everyone in stitches.
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas

Old Donold Trump continued to weave a tale of Maria's supposed afflictions, each more absurd than the last. The audience was thoroughly entertained by his over-the-top storytelling and infectious energy.
Keep away from her
Send for Chino!
This is not the Maria we know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!

Old Donold Trump's performance reached its peak as he dramatically called for Chino to intervene. His exaggerated theatrics and larger-than-life persona had everyone in stitches, thoroughly entertained by his antics.
Miss America, a speech, a speech, que hable
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me

Old Donold Trump basked in the imaginary adulation of the crowd, reveling in his own imagined glory. His larger-than-life personality and shameless self-promotion had everyone laughing and shaking their heads in amusement.
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy, and funny, and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!

As Old Donold Trump reached the climax of his performance, he couldn't help but revel in his own imagined splendor. His larger-than-life personality and shameless self-promotion had everyone laughing and shaking their heads in amusement.
The parody of "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story had been transformed into a hilarious spectacle by Old Donold Trump. His exaggerated theatrics and larger-than-life persona had turned a classic song into a side-splitting comedy act. Love him or loathe him, there was no denying that Old Donold Trump knew how to entertain a crowd with his outlandish antics and shameless self-promotion. And as the curtains closed on his performance, the audience erupted into thunderous applause, thoroughly entertained by the larger-than-life character that was Old Donold Trump A Real A Hole.

BACK TO SCHOOL: The Best Bulletproof Clothing for 2024

 

Use this comprehensive dataset to report on school shooting trends | Association of Health Care Journalists https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2024/08/use-this-comprehensive-dataset-to-report-on-school-shooting-trends/ 


The Best Bulletproof Clothing for 2024

Is a bulletproof clothing really a thing?

Yes it is! You will be surprised by the level of fashion provided in today's bulletproof clothing.

In our recent article about the best Bulletproof Backpacks, we investigated how useful these bags are for protecting our children against gun violence. While doing our research into Bulletproof Backpacks we discovered a whole world of other bulletproofed clothing too. We were impressed by the range and quality of what is available so we thought that would share some of what we found.

These clothes have been specially fitted with lightweight flexible bulletproof panels. It may not be full body protection but it could still save your life if used properly.

This article has only scratched the surface about the actual bulletproofing part of the story but you can read about how personal bulletproofing works on our Bulletproof Backpacks page.

We would like to be very transparent about what went into writing this article. We do not own any bulletproof clothing. We have relied directly on manufacturer input for our research.

Much of our research was done mainly through conversation directly with the manufacturers. Most of them were very accommodating and very keen to share their testing data with us.

What is Bulletproof Clothing?

Bulletproof clothing is no different from any other clothing except that it contains a special soft and flexible bulletproof panel installed in either the side or bottom. This clothing is made in many different shapes and sizes.

You can buy everything from a bulletproof business suit to a bulletproof hoodie and everything in between. For practical reasons, most of the bulletproof items featured here are coats and jackets.

The armor used in bulletproof clothing is soft and flexible for comfort and concealment. So much so that you would never know that the fashionable person sitting next to you is wearing one.

Most bulletproof clothing is made with no more than an NIJ Level IIIA rating. This level of armor will protect against most handguns.

Whether you are an executive going to the office or a just going grocery shopping, if you are going to throw on a coat, why not make sure that it is bulletproof?

Bulletproof Clothing

Types of Bulletproof Panel Materials

Soft Body Armor

Bulletproof Clothing with their soft protective panels fall into the category of soft body armor. There are three main materials used to create these bulletproof panels: Kevlar, Twaron and Dyneema. They are all designed to be lightweight and bullet resistant. These materials often go by other brand names so be sure to know which you are buying. You can read more about soft armor materials on our Bulletproof Backpack page.

Hard Plate Body Armor

You don't often see bulletproof clothing (other than bulletproof vests) made with hard plate armor due to the weight. This type of armor is much heavier than soft body armor but it provides protection against a much wider assortment of firearms. There are two main materials used to create these hard bulletproof panels: Commercial Ballistic Steel and Ceramic. You can read more about hard plate armor materials on our Bulletproof Backpack page.

Is it Legal to Own Bulletproof Clothing?

Is it legal to own Bulletproof Handbag and Briefcases?If you live in the United States then yes, it is legal to own bulletproof clothes. There are some exceptions though; owning bulletproof clothing - or even a bulletproof vest is completely legal in the United States. Some state laws restrict convicted felons from owning bulletproof vests so they may not be able to own bulletproof clothing either. Louisiana prohibits wearing armor on school property or school-sponsored functions. Connecticut forbids the sale of bulletproof vests over the phone or Internet - you must buy in person.

If you plan to travel outside the US, you should check before you leave as some countries like Canada and Australia take a dim view of civilians wearing body armor.

Most retail American manufacturers are not allowed to sell bulletproof products outside of the United States.

Shooting Statistics

Yes, it seems that lately, most mass shooters used an AR15. Would it surprise you to learn that statistically, there are far more shooting incidents using handguns than assault rifles? It sure surprised us! The chart below is the FBI Homicides by weapon used for the year 2019. This chart reveals that most NIJ level IIIA bulletproofing may have saved one of these lives.

FBI Homicides by weapon used 2019

National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Bulletproof Ratings

Department of Justice logoThe National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sets minimum performance standards for bulletproof protection in their 0101.06 Armor Protection Levels Standard. The current standard is broken down into five different threat levels.

As all handbag and briefcase bulletproofing is NIJ Level IIA, we only focus on it's abilities. You can read more about the NIJ standards and what level will stop what ammunition on our Bulletproof Backpack page.

NIJ Level IIA (handguns) - This level of protection is becoming less and less common.

NIJ Level II (handguns) - This level of protection is an improvement on the performance of Level IIA products. It not only protects again larger rounds but it also protects the wearer against more of the impact force from the projectile. This is one of the more common materials used in lightweight vest and clothing.

  • No rifle ammunition protection
  • Protects from everything listed in Level IIA and:
  • Protects from .357 Magnum JSP (Jacketed Soft Point) bullets

NIJ Level IIIA (handguns) - This level is the most widely used for soft armor although some hard plate armor is also rated at the NIJ IIIA level. NIJ Level IIA is the protection most commonly used in manufacturing most Bulletproof Clothing.

  • No rifle ammunition protection
  • Protects from everything listed in Level IIA and:
  • Protects from .357 Sig FMJ FN (Flat Nose) bullets
  • Protects from .44 Magnum SJHP (Semi Jacketed Hollow Point)

NIJ Level III (Rifles) - These plates are designed to withstand up to six spaced rifle bullet strikes. Level III plates can be heavy.

NIJ Level III+ (Rifles) - This is not a recognized NIJ Rating but it is one that has been adopted by plate armor manufacturers to recognize their ability to stop more and faster rounds.

NIJ Level IV (Armor Piercing Rifles) - This is the highest rated in the 0101.06 standard.

JD VANCE COVERS WILLIE NELSON: TO ALL THE COUCHES I LOVED BEFORE



APOLOGIES TO WILLIE NELSON

JD VANCE COVERS WILLIE NELSON: TO ALL THE COUCHES I LOVED BEFORE


To all the couches I've loved before

Who've seen my snacks and heard me snore

I'm glad you held me tight

Through movie day and night

To all the couches I've loved before


To all the cushions I once squished

And every time that I have wished

For comfort in my home

You never left me alone

To all the couches I've loved before


The winds of change are always blowing

And every time I try to stay

The pizza crumbs keep on showing

And they just carry me away


To all the couches who knew my joy

Now serving someone else as a toy

I'm glad you were my nest

And now it's time to rest

To all the couches I've loved before


To all the sofas that embraced

My lazy days and moments chaste

You'll always be a part

Of my comfy beating heart

Of all the couches I've loved before


The winds of change are always blowing

And every time I try to stay

The urge to nap keeps on growing

And they just carry me away


To all the couches we've loved before

Who made our home a cozy shore

We're glad you came along

We dedicate this song

To all the couches we've loved before


To all the couches we've loved before

Who made our home a cozy shore

We're glad you came along

We dedicate this song

To all the couches we've loved before

OLD AND CONFUSED TRUMP PUNTS ON TOUGH ISSUES

OLD AND CONFUSED TRUMP

PUNTS ON TOUGH ISSUES

In the ever-entertaining circus that is American politics, one figure stands out like a bewildered beacon of confusion and contradiction: none other than the one and only Donald J. Trump. The man who famously declared that he could "stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" has once again left the public scratching their heads with his ever-shifting position on abortion.

In a recent display of verbal gymnastics, Trump managed to punt on tough policy issues with such finesse that it left even the most seasoned political observers in a state of bewilderment. His responses to questions about abortion policy were not just confusing, but downright confounding. It's as if he's playing a game of 4D chess while the rest of us are stuck in a never-ending game of checkers.

First, Trump suggested that he could be open to restricting the abortion pill, sending shockwaves through both pro-choice and pro-life camps. But just as quickly as he had uttered those words, he did a 180 and walked back his statement, leaving everyone wondering if they had just witnessed a political flip-flop of epic proportions or if it was simply another case of Trump being Trump.

The confusion didn't stop there. When asked about mifepristone access, Trump's response was so unclear that it left observers guessing as to whether he was open to restricting it or if he simply didn't know what was being asked. It's like trying to decipher a cryptic crossword puzzle while blindfolded and wearing earmuffs.

But let's not forget the elephant in the room (pun intended): the Republican Party's unpopular position on abortion. It's no secret that many Republicans would rather avoid discussing this hot-button issue altogether, and who can blame them? It's about as popular as a skunk at a garden party. And yet, here comes Trump, trying to hide his agenda by answering questions with what can only be described as gibberish.

It's like watching a magician perform sleight of hand tricks, except instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, he's pulling out nonsensical answers to serious policy questions. But make no mistake, behind all the smoke and mirrors lies the Republican Party's Project 2025 agenda, which has already exposed their plans for the future of abortion policy.

So what's the deal with Trump's ever-shifting position on abortion? Is it a case of political expediency? Is it a calculated move to appeal to different segments of the electorate? Or is it simply a reflection of Trump's own mercurial nature? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind—or more accurately, in the rambling speeches of a man who seems to thrive on keeping everyone guessing.

One thing is for certain: Trump's approach to abortion policy is about as clear as mud. But perhaps that's the point. By keeping everyone in a state of perpetual confusion, he manages to maintain an air of unpredictability that is both maddening and mesmerizing. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion—you can't look away, no matter how much you want to.

In the end, Trump's ever-shifting position on abortion may leave us all scratching our heads and reaching for the nearest bottle of aspirin, but one thing is undeniable: it makes for one heck of a show. So grab your popcorn, folks, because this political rollercoaster is far from over. And with Trump at the helm, you can bet it's going to be one wild ride.

RIGHT WINGED ANGELS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

 


RIGHT WINGED ANGELS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Ah, the Catholic Church. A bastion of tradition, a symbol of faith, and a source of endless debate. It's no secret that the Church has had its fair share of ups and downs throughout history, but one of the most intriguing shifts in recent years has been its move towards the right wing. So, when and why did the Catholic Church turn right wing? Let's dive into this juicy topic and uncover the truth behind the Church's political leanings.

First things first, let's set the stage. The Catholic Church has always been a powerhouse in the world of politics. With its vast influence and global reach, it's no wonder that the Church has often found itself entangled in the messy web of political maneuvering. Throughout history, the Church has aligned itself with various political movements and ideologies, sometimes leaning left, sometimes veering to the right, and often finding itself somewhere in between.

But in recent decades, there has been a noticeable shift towards the right within the Catholic Church. This shift can be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes in leadership, evolving social and cultural landscapes, and the ever-present push and pull of tradition versus modernity.

One of the key turning points in this rightward shift was the election of Pope John Paul II in 1978. Known for his conservative views on social and moral issues, John Paul II set the stage for a more traditional and orthodox approach within the Church. His staunch opposition to contraception, abortion, and same-sex marriage solidified the Church's position on these contentious issues and drew a clear line in the sand between the Church and more liberal ideologies.

The rise of conservative movements within the Church can also be attributed to broader societal changes. As the world grappled with the effects of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and shifting cultural norms, many within the Church sought solace in traditional values and teachings. This longing for stability and continuity in an ever-changing world fueled a resurgence of conservative thought within the Church, leading to a more right-wing stance on various social and political issues.

In addition to these internal and external factors, the Catholic Church's rightward shift can also be seen as a response to the rise of secularism and liberalism in many parts of the world. As more and more societies embraced progressive ideas and policies, the Church found itself increasingly at odds with these developments. In an effort to maintain its relevance and influence, the Church doubled down on its conservative principles, positioning itself as a steadfast defender of traditional values in the face of what it perceived as moral decay.

Of course, it's important to note that not everyone within the Catholic Church is on board with this rightward shift. There are many voices within the Church advocating for a more progressive and inclusive approach, challenging the status quo and pushing for greater acceptance of diversity and change. The tension between these differing viewpoints has led to internal divisions and heated debates within the Church, further complicating its political landscape.

So, why did the Catholic Church turn right wing? The answer is a complex tapestry woven from historical precedent, societal pressures, and shifting cultural dynamics. Whether this rightward shift is a temporary deviation or a long-term realignment remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that the Catholic Church's political leanings will continue to be a topic of lively discussion and debate for years to come.

In conclusion, the Catholic Church's move towards the right wing is a multifaceted phenomenon with deep roots in history and contemporary society. As with any major institution, the Church's political leanings are subject to change and adaptation in response to a myriad of internal and external influences. Whether you find yourself cheering for this rightward shift or shaking your head in dismay, one thing is certain: the Catholic Church's political journey is far from over, and there are sure to be many more twists and turns along the way.

PROJECT 2025 - NAZIFICATION OF AMERICA - IS THIS REAL OR IS THIS FOX NEWS

 

PROJECT 2025 - NAZIFICATION OF AMERICA

IS THIS REAL OR IS THIS FOX NEWS

Have you heard about the latest and greatest project to hit America? No, it's not a new theme park or a revolutionary technology. It's the MAGA Project 2025, also known as the "Nazification of America." Yes, you read that right. It seems that some folks out there are dead set on turning the good ol' US of A into a real-life version of 1940s Germany. And let me tell you, it's as ridiculous as it sounds.

So, what exactly is the MAGA Project 2025? Well, according to their website at project2025.org, it's a grand plan to make America great again by modeling our country after one of the darkest periods in human history. Sounds like a hoot, doesn't it? Let's take a look at some of the major points of this "brilliant" plan and explore the downside of each for American democracy.

Point 1: Mandatory mustaches for all government officials.

Oh, yes. You read that correctly. The MAGA Project 2025 wants to require all government officials to sport a stylish mustache, just like some of those iconic World War II leaders. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their local mayor or city council member rocking a Hitler-esque 'stache? The downside? Well, for one, it might be a bit distracting during important policy meetings. And let's not forget the potential for an increase in sales of mustache wax and grooming products. Talk about a hairy situation!

Point 2: National lederhosen day.

That's right, folks. Get ready to dust off your finest pair of lederhosen because the MAGA Project 2025 wants to designate a national day for everyone to sport this traditional German attire. I can already see the chaos at the local department stores as people scramble to find the perfect pair. And let's not even get started on the potential chafing issues. The downside? Well, aside from the fashion faux pas, there's also the risk of lederhosen-related injuries. Trust me, no one wants to see their neighbor hobbling around with a lederhosen-induced wedgie.

Point 3: Mandatory accordion lessons for all school children.

Ah, music to my ears. Or not. The MAGA Project 2025 believes that every child in America should be proficient in playing the accordion. Because nothing says "freedom and democracy" like a good old polka tune, right? The downside? Well, aside from the potential hearing loss for parents forced to endure endless accordion practice sessions, there's also the issue of limited career opportunities for accordion virtuosos. I mean, how many accordion-centric bands can the world handle?

Point 4: National sauerkraut appreciation day.

Move over, Thanksgiving. There's a new food-centric holiday in town. The MAGA Project 2025 wants to establish a national day dedicated to celebrating everyone's favorite fermented cabbage dish - sauerkraut. Get ready for parades featuring giant sauerkraut floats and sauerkraut-eating contests. The downside? Well, aside from the inevitable gastrointestinal distress for many participants, there's also the risk of a sauerkraut shortage. Can you imagine the horror of a sauerkraut apocalypse?

Point 5: Mandatory goose-stepping competitions.

Yes, you heard that right. The MAGA Project 2025 wants to bring back the classic military march known as the goose step and turn it into a national pastime. Just picture it - families gathering in the town square to watch their loved ones strut their stuff with military precision. The downside? Well, aside from the potential strain on chiropractors treating goose-stepping-related back injuries, there's also the risk of creating a nation of overly confident walkers. I mean, who needs humility when you've mastered the goose step?

Now, if you're reading this and thinking, "This has got to be a joke," then you're absolutely right. The MAGA Project 2025 is nothing more than a hilarious (and slightly terrifying) parody of extreme political movements. But it serves as a reminder that we should never take our democracy for granted. So, let's raise a glass of non-alcoholic beer (because prohibition might be next on the agenda) to the absurdity of it all and continue to cherish the freedom and diversity that make America truly great.

In conclusion, while the MAGA Project 2025 may be nothing more than a satirical jab at extreme ideologies, it's important to remember that democracy is not a joke. So let's continue to stand up for what's right, speak out against injustice, and never forget to laugh in the face of absurdity. And if you're ever feeling down about the state of our country, just remember - at least we're not all required to wear lederhosen...yet.
