Can someone explain to me why, in the age of voice recognition and subtitles, we still have these people standing next to people speaking on TV flailing their fingers and hands?
Look, I have NO problem with making accommodations for deaf people. We 100% should do that .. But, isn’t it easier to read subtitles? Any big live event has a big screen.. with subtitles..
Is there some kind of “Sign Language Union” .. or Lobby group that’s pushing to keep signers employed?..
I dunno.. Just seems silly..

DUBAI: Chaos ensued in the United Arab Emirates after the country witnessed the heaviest rainfall in 75 years, with some areas recording more than 250 mm (around 10 inches) of precipitation in fewer than 24 hours, the state’s media office said in a statement Wednesday.
The rainfall, which flooded streets, uprooted palm trees and shattered building facades, has never been seen in the Middle Eastern nation since records began in 1949. In the popular tourist destination Dubai, flights were canceled, traffic came to a halt and schools closed.

FRANCE: Paris .. The Opening Ceremonies of the upcoming Olympics are being pared back, again, over security concerns .. Tourists were told they won’t be allowed to watch it for free from riverbanks because the French government scaled back ambitions amid ongoing security threats.
Then, on March 24, France raised its security readiness to the highest level after a deadly attack at a Russian concert hall and the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility. French President Emmanuel Macron says the ceremony could be shifted instead to the national stadium at Stade de France if the security threat is deemed too high.

Washington DC: That’s my story .. and I’m sticking to it ..
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser just doesn’t care .. The internet “exposed” her going to the Masters and trying to pawn it off as an “Official Mayor’s Trip”.
Bowser’s Communications Director Susana Castillo confirmed that Bowser was invited to the tournament by two people leading a new city task force, "to revitalize the Gallery Place and Chinatown neighborhood." Castillo said that "whether it’s here in the city or another city or another country," the mayor is willing to "advance administrative interests," no matter the setting – including a golf tournament.
So, Going to the Masters is “research” for re-building Chinatown ?? .. Is that “New Math”?
IN DA SWAMP:
I Read online: “If these giant spending bills with 3,000 pages get voted on without anyone reading them.. Why don’t we slip “Term Limits” in there” .. H*LL FCKIN’ YEAH !!!!!
IMPEACHMENT: The Senate vote down the first article of impeachment against of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas 51-48 along party lines (Sen. Murkowski voted “Present” via a “Point of Order” by Sen. Schumer .. This charge was that he engaged in the “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” ..
Geez.. I dunno man .. He is the boss .. 10 million illegal aliens entered the country. Together, that is the 10th largest state in the USA by population. He certainly didn’t do what he could to stop it .. The law is pretty clear. Immigrants can’t just walk in.. and he didn’t stop it..
The second article was ALSO voted down via “Point of Order” .. So.. Schumer uses parliamentary procedure mumbo jumbo (which Republicans do as well when they are in the majority .. because they are ALL Swamp rats) ..but the trial never even happens..
For the first time in American history, an impeached public official does not even stand trial. No evidence gets to be presented, The public gets no trial .. and there is NO accountability .. and we still have an invasion at the border ..
I guess, maybe, the remedy is to vote out the President and his men? .. I would caution the Democratic Senators .. The last time you pulled crap like this .. was the “Nuclear Option” over Judges .. and that came back to bite you in the butt.

CANNIBALS !!!
President Biden has made LOADS of ridiculous claims . (The loser media refers to them as “Lies” when Trump says them.. but ignores them when they are Biden’s) .. He has professed to be about 10 different nationalities, that he is not .. Claims about his family.. education.. being place he wasn’t .. all made up … But.. THIS one is a REAL Winner ..
Biden was in Pittsburgh and told of his uncle who was in a plane shot down in WW2. He told the crowd his uncle was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down over New Guinea. The one survivor said the plane had engine trouble and crashed into the water and the others drowned in the plane.
So, War hero ..His uncle is a documented War Hero.. Died in Action .. I can’t understand why it’s not enough to say that .. Where the heck did he get the “there were a lot of cannibals around there” ..

Do what Works: I read an article.. then.. double checked it … and.. it appears spraying Axe Body Spray (for you older folks.. It’s like a nice smelling combo of deodorant and cologne that is marketed at younger men) .. anyways… Spraying Axe Body Spray at “warring” sheep stops them from fighting with each other. The scent masks the smells coming from the other Ram and they both chill.
Apparently, it also works on the girls .. If a farmer is trying to get a mother sheep to “adopt” an orphan baby sheep in the flock the adult female will often reject the baby. Spraying the Axe on BOTH of them confuses the adult into believing the baby is hers..
This may be the most exciting “unintended effect” since a blood pressure medication that did, “OTHER THINGS” called Viagra !!!
SPORTS:
GOLF: RBC Heritage at starts today .. Tight course .. favors players that control their ball well and putt well… Which is why Matt Fitzpatrick is defending Champ ..
The “Other” Tournament is at Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic .. The favorite there is Nicolai Hojgaard .. who was on the leaderboard for most of the Masters .. he faded but still was top 20 .. Shouldn’t he be at the “Big Kids Table” ??? ..
and..
NBA: You’re OUT !!! as in OUT OF THE LEAGUE ..
Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter was banned for life from the NBA on Wednesday after a league probe found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and wagered on games, even betting on the Raptors to lose. OUCH!!!

Morons speaking for Morons …
Biden waded into the “Caitlin Clark, WNBA, Equal Pay” debate ..
Biden (meaning the Woke Karen running his TwitterX) wrote:
"Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all. But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve."
Just makes you wanna CHOKE SLAM Biden .. Which, of course, you don’t. Because he is an Old man .. and also because he didn’t write that.. some woke Karen likely did.
If WNBA players were paid an ACTUAL “Fair Share” they couldn’t afford socks. The WNBA is SUBSIDIZED. The WNBA LOST $10 million last year and has NEVER made a profit..
They CAN’T pay players because people don’t go to games. Tell me Biden.. How many WNBA games have you been to? Kamala? Which team do YOU have season tickets to?
And let me make this clear .. If the WNBA attendance somehow skyrockets .. and they’re drawing more fans, more endorsements, more sponsorships than the NBA..Then, They should be paid MORE than NBA players..
Ya get paid by what you bring in .. it’s a BUSINESS!!!!
Are ya gonna argue professional lacrosse players should make the same as an NBA player? .. Should he get his “Fair share” ??
All you losers calling for “fair share” and “equal pay” either sign up and pay for season tickets or SHUT YOUR FCKING PIE HOLE !!!
CELEBRIDIOTS:
BAMM .. Kanye West is being investigated for battery after he punched a guy in West Hollywood. .. According to the “report”, the man grabbed Kanye’s wife .. According to Kanye the man didn’t just “bump into” her.. “He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses..She was battered and sexually assaulted.” .. Doesn’t look like anyone is going to jail, though…
Actress Megan Fox .. HERE .. got her fans “a-buzzin” by posting a picture.. (gasp) without make-up .. HERE.. .. I gotta ask .. Does the “no make up” thing really count if your still using photoshop and filters?

MEEOOOWWWW… Hollywood producer Carol Baum (Father of the Bride… Shining Through) was at a forum discussing her work and was asked about Sydney Sweeney…HERE.. .. Baum said, “I don’t get Sydney Sweeney. She can’t act and she’s not pretty” … WOW.. CATFIGHT a BREWIN’ ..
To be fair .. Sydney is the prototype for “Hollywood Blonde Bombshell” .. She IS kinda weird looking .. a bit cross-eyed.. HERE.. and her acting is subject to the “beholder” .. But, she is skinny, (dyed) blonde, has big boobs (that she likes to show off for the photographers).. and that is what sells in 2024 ..
So, Sorry Ms Baum. This is today’s media.. Today’s Hollywood. “Talent” is trumped by “ho’s that make porn videos with rappers that their mom’s “leak” to the public to make them famous”. They are billionaires .. despite having zero talent..
