Remember March 2021? When you didn’t have to spend $100 to fill your gas tank, we had not soiled ourselves leaving Afghanistan, the vaccines were going to end Covid, and the Biden Administration was not such a complete disaster that reporters could still embarrass themselves by fawning over it?
Yes, this was an actual headline in an actual supposedly serious media outlet.
It’s dangerous being a man these days. You never know when you’re going to get knocked up. Hopefully the male teen pregnancy rates don’t go up too much!
Actually, this is an interesting conceptual statement. Is our leftist "secular" religion of making up things then calling them "Science" a new religion? It has all the hallmarks of one. Then the next question is can we use the First Amendment prohibiting the establishment or recognition of a State Religion as a bullwark against all of the Climatologist, New Scientotholics, Genderisms, Seventh Day Race-ologists, etc? Can we somehow get away from fighting their absurdities by showing them as such and simply "tolerate" them as a religion to which they are welcome to practice but which cannot be supported by government nor forced on anyone else?
At a work cookout, the women were talking about pregnancy cravings. I turned to the guys and said, “Now that you guys can get pregnant, it will be interesting to see what you crave.” We all had fun with that since, thankfully, no one that I work with believes in this nonsense!
Given that the blastomic placenta could find everything it needs in any person's abdomen, the baby would have to delivered by cesearian section from a man's body.
Now all we have to do is get them to rule a pre-born baby is a fish and then abortions end. All in the name of environmental protection. You know, it's just science.
Just subject him to high doses of ultraviolet light that’s radioactive, maybe like in the movie Total Recall, he’ll grow a separate body out of his abdomen…!
This guy is 100% correct. The economy is doing just fine. It's headed in the right direction.
Just the other day I put 23 gallons in my tank and it only cost me $158. That's much better than the $75 it used to cost me. And my Trader Joes bag just got a whole lot larger for some reason, it must be stretching out. I used to fit about $45 of food in it but now it's so much bigger, I can put $160 in it. I'm flabbergasted.
Simmer down, it may be uncomfortable but you are saving the world right now and fighting climate change. The higher prices for all of the things on the stop climate change list are all getting more expensive all at the same time. Its like we got the Green New Deal without messy elections and such. How lucky is that!
It's worse than that, Transportation Dept Head Pete has a huge new initiative: Zero Traffic Deaths. I mean this is the level of thinking of these people, and Obama's third term is absolutely chock full of them. Safetyism run wild. Yes Mrs. Pete is very nurturing, he and the other women in this administration will nurture and coddle and protect you and the nation and the world to death. Maybe with a 5MPH speed limit, passengers wrapped in bubble wrap, and lots of IBM "Smart City" tech to disable your car remotely if you exceed the speed limit or your carbon for the day or violated H.R. 1,000,000,000 Anti-Meat Act and did not eat enough of ze bugs. Off to the front in Ukrainistan with you!
Re traffic deaths....he complains about we should not tolerate 3000 traffic deaths per month...wonder how many deaths by vax per month he'd tolerate? Next he'll be selling eliminating car ownership like one of the UK WEF politicians was floating...that would certainly reduce accident deaths. He is a card carrying member after all...we'll see how long until that "enlightened" strategy comes up.
A born optimist Yukon Dave? sure sounds like it ! And sure, if the gas is so pricy, we all stay home more, buy closer to home, and boost the local economy. That is where it should start. Go to the store on the corner instead of the one in big town, which is owned by bigmoney already!
the best remedy is to get smaller shopping bags. I used to take 2 large ones to WM now I take to small ones. It still went from spending 150 to spending 200 (and eating weeds from the garden instead of buying salad greens) but hey, Inflation you know, happens all the time. Every year my retirement goes up 9 bucks!
It’s all staged for sure. The other day I watched some stupid Biden speech and he’s flipping pages and I’m like what’s with the freakin’ page turning?! The first time he flipped almost the total notebook! Probably not many noticed but that was super clear to me everything this admin does is staged
I dont want my DoT "cool"...I want to book a plane flight and then depend on it to take off and land when they promised. I want my roads to be passable and maintained, my bridges to not collapse as I drive over them, and I want truckers to be able to make a decent living delivering my shit. Thats it...I dont want "cool" I want competence
I want the supply chain to work. Not to listen to an administration blame it on Putin while Transportation Secretary Buttigieg is on "extended paternity leave" on Antigua
Mariam, I meant No disrespect, but I am oldschool and have experience being married and raising a family.
This is not to say “my way is the only way” or something stupid like that.
I am of the belief that newborns bond with their mothers, never with their fathers. These are nature’s laws, not mine.
A father’s responsibility at this stage is not to attempt some sort of unnatural bonding with his infant; but rather to support the needs of the mother, while supplying shelter, safety, food, and most importantly ensuring stability in the home for the future growth of the mother, child, and additional family members.
Maternity leave is natural after birth and has been a staple of existence for all mammals for millennia.
“Paternity” leave is a recent, made up, un-natural construct that serves no purpose I can think of other than to make some men feel better about their role in what is a very difficult time for women, even very strong ones
A few days off work to help is totally understandable. Anything more than that puts the stability, safety, and growth of the natural family order in danger and is unacceptable, IMO.
I respect your views, and I disagree. I’m a 63-year-old woman who raised four children as a stay-at-home-mother. My former husband took some time off for a week after the birth of my first child, which was a traumatic medicalized and mismanaged birth, but he did not help me.
I am very strong but sometimes wonder how I managed to keep it together when he never helped at night, even if I was feeling unwell.
I relish seeing father’s involved in the care of their children. In my daughters’ generation, the men are very involved and it makes for a more relaxed and rested mother a happier baby and strong bonding with both parents, not to mention a stronger relationship for the parents.
One of my clients recently had a difficult labor and delivery, the baby nurses every two to three hours, which becomes all consuming for the mother. I know this firsthand because I nursed four daughters for a total of 8 1/2 years. This client’s husband cooks dinner every night and takes the baby from 6 PM until midnight so that my client can get some sleep. I love that he does this for her and his daughter. He sees how tired she is and wants to participate in her recuperation and loves spending time with his infant daughter. She doesn’t demand this of him.
I understand that you are old school and that this probably wasn’t the case when your wife gave birth to your children. That doesn’t necessarily make your way better.
My former husband’s father was not involved in their lives when they were growing up. It is something that he still carries with him to this day and he’s a 70 year old man. He was also raised in a household where children were to be seen and not heard. His father, a PhD and university Chancellor, hardly acknowledged the children. This creates dysfunction and a sense of lack in children, whether you believe that or not.
Hopefully, we all continue to evolve and stay open to learning new ways of doing things.
Im almost 60. I’m in agreement with you. Paternity leave has nothing to do with bonding. It can mean many things for diff. Reasons. I only have one child and so glad my Mom was around to help, but would have been great if my ex could’ve shared those first few weeks in a more involved way.
I would only add that I did not say that fathers should not be “involved” in the care or support of mother and child. I just don’t think that a traditional father/provider taking close to a month or more off work is warranted, and by definition, puts the stability of the home in danger.
If someone is rich and can afford it (days off work to hover around mother and newborn waiting on them) and it makes them feel good then sure.
But the majority of people can not afford this and that is why there has always been the division of responsibilities between men and women. To deny this fundamental fact of life brings chaos into the home.
By all means men should help the mother any way they can, but essentially quitting your job at the very moment it is needed by the family most is not “a good thing”
Another "diversity" pick for Sleepy Joe's cabinet. Most of them wouldn't last 2 weeks in a real job outside of government. He also wins the award for talking the most and saying the least. Have you ever listened to this moron's answers to very direct questions ? ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
Almost the entire cabinet (can't think of any right now who don't do this) spew word salad when asked a question. Can add the Vice President to this too. Everyone one of them was hired for diversity and how many intersectional boxes they check. Not a single one of them would I choose to be the "designated survivor" and have any expectation that they'd be even remotely competent if they had to sit in the big chair.
I thought at first they were purposely screwing things up, but it's become obvious they have no clue how the real world works, none. Trump ran construction sites, with truck deliveries, steel mill contracts, supply chain dependent projects. PB never even had a real job.
Pete Buttplug has to be second in the word salad department to Kamaltoe Hairlip. Remember “We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes. Together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.”
She's awful. Yellen can give them a run for their money. I heard some crazy gibberish out of her this week while before Congress. Asked about one thing and she word saladed some bullshit about climate, systemic racism and other progressive talking points in response, mixed with her normal ums and uhs.
The entire administration is a bunch of babbling misfits. I am going to start calling Brandon "King Moonracer", the ruler of the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. He would fly around the world collecting misfits to surround himself with.
You're saying our 5 star admiral in a dress and wig isn't making a difference somehow? How dare you! Do you know what month it is? It will come out as a minority for juneteenth so that Biden can give them an extra few stars. That'll teach all the bigots a lesson.
"...cool again"? When was the Department of Transportation ever "cool"? Even if it was, he is certainly not the "man" who could return anything to its former glory.
Yeah. A transport secretary who forces all pilots to take vaccines, which have this nasty side effect of causing heart attacks and strokes. So now we have pilots flying with ... ticking spike-protein timebombs in their bodies. Why? Two choices: 1) utter incompetence, 2) its a plan: No More Flying For You, Plebes.
Since I wasn't invited to the meeting, I have no idea which one it is.
All of the above. LOTS of the nearish-retired just went ahead and retired rather than take the jab and deal with this sh!tsh0w. Huge pilot shortage.
Don’t you just love how The regulation lovers went against the FAA reg for pilots NOT to participate in any experimental drug trials? Must have been a loophole in that reg. It’s OK if it is the biggest human trial in history.
It is a pilot shortage for *reasons*. Airlines have started reducing training and other requirements to start churning out pilots faster. That's comforting.
This administration wants unintelligent people who will eventually depend on government for their every need. They're much easier to control than those of us who are critical thinkers.
What do you mean, Secy Pete has an impeccable background and qualifications. He worked for the CIA in Afghanistan *as a driver*, then on to McKinsey to help companies figure out how to pay people less and close factories, then mayor of that sprawling urban powerhouse South Bend Indiana, where he couldn't even keep the potholes filled. Hey I have an idea, let's make him/her/it Head of Transportation!
Add that Biden and Harris have become the biggest Bumbling-Stumbling Idiots to ever grace the Executive Branch. 8 year olds speak better. The U.S. is the laughing stock of the world!
They were always NWO/WEF Marxists plotting to destroy the U.S. First kill our fuel supply then increase inflation destroy the economy and the the middle class and try to make everyone dependent on Soviet style handouts. In that they have succeeded.
I was a kid during the Carter admin and remember all to well the specter of Russia and nuclear war. It's MUCH worse now. Just dreadful and incompetent officials at all levels in multiple ways . Elections can't come fast enough.
...but Janet Yellen said inflation was transitory. Doesn't that mean it's coming down like, really really soon, like it's temporary? Maybe "transitory" according to Yellen means prices are higher for the next decade and then they go back to where they were when Trump was president. I've canceled Netflix, Disney+, my home phone service (I didn't use it anyway), my summer vacation, and I put off getting a new smartphone. My son needed a new suit for graduation but instead we're taking his existing suit to the tailor and having the pant legs lengthened and the sleeves lengthened. Who has money for clothes anymore? If Sleepy Joe keeps this up, we're going to be going through the city trash cans to find food! Stop voting for Democrats people!!!
We have Trans inflation. Trans means what she wants it to mean. You thought she intended transitory in the the traditional meaning of "a short and inconsequential duration". What she really meant was Trans - sitioning to a permanent economic cancer on America led by the Green New Deal ideology and destroying any chance of real creation of value followed by storing such value in the form of savings. Trans-intioning the meaning of transitory is so very very Trans which is a leftie's foundational belief.
Trump was out of his element dealing with pharma companies who have lied to the public about drugs and vaccines for decades. As far as surrendering to the Taliban, that was the job of Sleepy Joe. Also, Trump did not bankrupt fracking companies, Democrats and Greenie Weenies have put energy companies at a disadvantage and now look at the price of gas. Trump is part of the solution, Democrats are the problem. But I agree that we've spent billions on a crappy vaccine.
But we got a woman, African-American (check this, Haiti-American), immigrant, lesbian White House press secretary. I didn't know about all of these accomplishments until she told me this in the first 2 minutes of her new job. So I said, "Damn, our president is awesome." She's also the first press secretary who also needs a teleprompter, prompting me to think that the MVP of the White House is the teleprompter quarterback.
She's not African, she's Haitian, born on the Caribbean island of Martinique. She is the first Caribbean American I've ever encountered who is as dumb as a box of rocks. All the ones I've known over the decades were very smart and hard-working people. I suppose it was about time to run across the exception to the rule!
Thanks. I've now edited my above post. Don't they practice voodoo in Haiti? Maybe there was some kind of sneaky voodoo that got her her new gig? I wish her well though. I also think everyone who has her job is guaranteed a future job at CNN, MSNBC or Fox News (not applicable in her case). This means we will soon get a Haiti-American-lesbian-female perspective on the administration of President DeSantis. This is long overdue.
She transed from being born capable and smart and hard-working to her true inner victim intersectional self. She was born in the wrong body, on the wrong continent, of the wrong parents, and brought up in the wrong culture. She's home now.
Dang-it, Haitians have that really cool accent, eh mon! She's just your typical token. An Affirmative Action broad who won the lottery, but doesn't even know how little she actually learned! It is very sad!
before biden made the ruble the top performing currency in the world, before biden soiled himself in front of the pope, before we had genetically modified monkeypox...
"“The funding supports a clinical trial to identify effective treatments for monkeypox virus disease,” explains a summary of the research, which, despite beginning in September 2020, has not generated any publicly available studies, papers, or patents."
In March 2021, I knew that President Biden was suffering from dementia and that his cognitive decline was getting worse ... which it has. But I guess I was the only person in America who noticed this or thought this. Certainly no members of the WH press corps have picked up on this. Nor have any WH staffers.
I know 2 people that died now from the kill shots. 1 from heart attack and 1 from re-emergence of aggressive cancer. My FIL went from very active 80 year old, to damn near dead with blood clots in his lungs. Still not fully recovered after 9 months. Know how many people I know that died from COVID ? ZERO ! Thank goodness for this forum. On other social media platforms that I rarely look at - people can't wait to get their 2nd booster and are hoping for approval to jab their kids under 5. The Branch COVIDIANs are still out there and they are terrifying.
sorry to hear that. the end of that article has a way to look up deaths and AEs by lot #. Lot EN6201 grows every single week in body count. One lot! Yet they can chase down listeria outbreaks for a single guy with bad gas to a McDonald's in Topeka. This hot lot issue is the thing that ought to be bringing down the whole program. Last I checked it was over 180 deaths from EN 6201
Why does it feel like we don’t have the best and brightest leading this country? Now it’s all about how many “diversity” boxes you check. I hope the next president is a Muslim, transgender, handicapped, non-binary,alien that identifies as a cat! Imagine how much of a strength this diversity would be!
Real cool jumped the shark with the Fonz ... who actually made a pretty cool comeback when he coached the Water Boy and his teammates to that big victory in the Bourbon Bowl.
Oh wow! I’m so happy that the priority is to make bureaucrats cool. By the way, does anyone need baby formula? Or a loan to fill your gas tank or buy groceries?
Fuck these selfish shameless soulless sociopathic shitbags masquerading as humans! My God, how many more people need to die and live in abject misery before you realize that these leftist scum need to be driven from American soil!?
Or, as their demented despicable leader said this afternoon, about punching people in the face he doesn’t agree with, let them come at us and then we’ll bury them in the soil!…
Alas, now the headlines and airwaves report that Buttigieg, too, is struggling to find formula for his babies. (Well, actually, he's not, they eventually clarify. He has enough formula, shelves and shelves of it. But he's just like you, because he has infants who require formula to live and because can and-- and often does!-- imagine what it must be like not to have enough because that's how compassionate he is, and how aware of his privilege, which he sort of has but he is also a member of a victim class so don't start getting too worked up about his privilege because people on the Internet are mean to him!)
Pre-Covid, the "narrative" was that inflation - said to be around 2 percent - was "too low." The Fed was trying to produce MORE inflation. Then they got more and said it was "transitory" and "contained." Today, the narrative is that this is good for electric car sales ... but then Bill Gates shorts the stock of Tesla, so I'm very confused. I'm going to come out and say it. I don't think the narratives are true. Can I be banned from Alex's substack?
The guy who drove a SUV to a photo op and just as he got within range of the fourth estate , stopped the car, took a bicycle out of the trunk and rode it to the waiting cameras of the presstitudes
I thought for sure Pete would be pregnant by now...
I’m assuming he has had at least two abortions by now.
that is hysterical lmaoooooo
Now that men can get pregnant there is a tampon shortage.
too funny lol , which one wears the condom?
The one who's been with someone with Monkeypox
oh yeah that's right, Monkeypox the new Dem virus , epic fail!
Or who takes the birth control pill? By the way, will those be available for men now?
Any medication that causes erectile dysfunction to me substitutes for birth control…
They just wrap their heads around with saran wrap and hope they don’t pass out before they come…
Geez, what timing huh?! Lol
That is exactly what I told my husband. Maybe if he goes to the store and asks he can get some.
You make $92 and your neighbor makes $95? How embarrassing.
One of them was a craniectomy, when he came running into the emergency room screaming, “I’ve got a piece of brain stuck in my head!“…
Too bad Pete wasn't aborted. I'm pro-life and all, but I'll make an exception for the Butt Judge.
Funny. I call him "BootyJudge"
Steven Crowder, Louder with Crowder calls him “Butt gig”.😂
We call him “butt giggle”
We’ve called him Booty-gag
Cracked me up. Thanks.
Also, a hysterectomy and two mastectomies.
It’s dangerous being a man these days. You never know when you’re going to get knocked up. Hopefully the male teen pregnancy rates don’t go up too much!
HA! Probably depends on "what" science a person follows and who paid for it of course :)
Actually, this is an interesting conceptual statement. Is our leftist "secular" religion of making up things then calling them "Science" a new religion? It has all the hallmarks of one.

"As a man who could get pregnant at any time" 😂😂😂
Given that the blastomic placenta could find everything it needs in any person's abdomen, the baby would have to delivered by cesearian section from a man's body.
Like chihuahua puppies
He identifies as being pregnant. Same difference.
LLLLLLLLLOL!
The monkeypox made he/him infertile.
Watched the wizard of OZ last night and realized the flying monkeys have taken the pox airborne
good catch!
He still trying to get the twins to latch on?
🤢 to what?
I wonder if the formula shortage has effected him.
He might not have been pregnant, be he sure has a baby. A virgin birth !
Sure it wasn’t a sturgeon birth, they have a fish as a kid?
Sturgeon are best known for caviar.
https://nypost.com/2022/06/04/california-court-rules-bees-are-now-fish/
Now all we have to do is get them to rule a pre-born baby is a fish and then abortions end. All in the name of environmental protection. You know, it's just science.
Who better to wade into a roe controversy than the Sturgeon General?
😂🤣😂
Don’t give ‘em any ideas!
Oh my god! No words! SMH
What evidence do you have that he had the natural mothers medical records?
Fact checkers at tweeter say “Ask again later” 🎱
Haha. I swiped away and came back just to heart this and lol. Well done.
I'm not a biologist so what do I know :)
Lol 🤣😂🤣 best laugh I’ve had all day - Thx!!!
🤣🤣🤣🫃🫃🫃
Just subject him to high doses of ultraviolet light that’s radioactive, maybe like in the movie Total Recall, he’ll grow a separate body out of his abdomen…!

This guy is 100% correct. The economy is doing just fine. It's headed in the right direction.

I mean this is the level of thinking of these people, and Obama's third term is absolutely chock full of them. Safetyism run wild. Yes Mrs. Pete is very nurturing, he and the other women in this administration will nurture and coddle and protect you and the nation and the world to death. Maybe with a 5MPH speed limit, passengers wrapped in bubble wrap, and lots of IBM "Smart City" tech to disable your car remotely if you exceed the speed limit or your carbon for the day or violated H.R. 1,000,000,000 Anti-Meat Act and did not eat enough of ze bugs.

A born optimist Yukon Dave? sure sounds like it ! And sure, if the gas is so pricy, we all stay home more, buy closer to home, and boost the local economy. That is where it should start. Go to the store on the corner instead of the one in big town, which is owned by bigmoney already!
I own a convertible in Tacoma Washington!
It is completely misunderstood.
The economy is heading in the same direction where Joe is heading. Towards the graveyard.
Life is transitory not unlike inflation. It went away eventually even in the Weimar Republic
Today's Germans are descendants from surviving non-Germans?
Having children is hereditary. If your parents didn't have any, chances are you wont either.
If your parents didn't have any hereditary children, you were adopted, and your children won't continue your parent's genomes.
Remember, math is racist. Don’t subtract $158 by $75 or you will get lectured.
😂
You hit on it!! THIS is why they don’t want to teach math anymore!
But you saved 0.16 last Fourth of July. Did you even thank Joe for that?
I forgot how full my pockets were last July 4th. Hot dogs cost me $5.50/15oz pkge 2 days ago.
the best remedy is to get smaller shopping bags. I used to take 2 large ones to WM now I take to small ones. It still went from spending 150 to spending 200 (and eating weeds from the garden instead of buying salad greens) but hey, Inflation you know, happens all the time. Every year my retirement goes up 9 bucks!
Small price to pay to stick it to Russia and get us off fossil fuels
Brandon Admin: it's only transitory. Brandon Admin: it's a transition. US citizens: it's a transition to a third world
economy
If you really want to stick it to Russia, US must get their own fossil fuels flowing. Windmills is not a solution.
Russia! Russia! Russia! Always go back to the well, right?
You sound like you might be colluding with Russians.
you cannot be serious??
23 gallon tank?! Sounds like white privilege to me.
The obvious remedy is to suppress wages. SMH
Remember when the press tried to say Buttegieg was qualified for the job because he "loved trains"?
If love for trains is a prerequisite, then we'd be better off with Sheldon Cooper. (I know he's not real. Still would be better.)
I'm all for fictional characters running all government departments.
The current Presidency is fictional, in a sense.
excellent point. They hold him up there (literally) and hide behind as they do their F*ckery
ha! Less costly and better results, eh?
Gomez Addams kept the trains running on time
Put Dr. House in charge of the CDC.
If Sec. Pete loves trains so much Joe should have put him on the Amtrak board as he did Hunter.
Bazinga!
😀
I miss Sheldon Cooper. I really could use a laugh right about now.
This entire thread is laughter therapy to me!
Better to laugh than cry, I suppose.
To me too! This has all been quite depressing but I know I can get a good laugh here!
Remember the photos of him supposedly riding a bike to work - only to have him (and the MSM) called out for staging it?
It’s all staged for sure. The other day I watched some stupid Biden speech and he’s flipping pages and I’m like what’s with the freakin’ page turning?! The first time he flipped almost the total notebook! Probably not many noticed but that was super clear to me everything this admin does is staged
What the press didn't understand is that Secretary Buttplug was talking about the sort of "trains" that spread Monkey Pox at raves.
You see, Tex didn’t let it go by...
yuck
Gee, my 2 year old grandson loves trains maybe he should apply for the job of Transportation Secretary.
He does love trains, but only in a sexual “with guys only” kind of way. Mayor Pete’s just another embarrassment within Brandon’s administration.
Ok, when you set it on a tee for me, I will almost always hit it. I’m gonna let this one go by...😏
I vote Thomas the Tank Engine to take over for Pete!
He probably beat out a black guy who likes orange juice for that job.
In the victim olympics, gay Mr. mom with a fondness for choo choo trains beats black guy with a predilection for OJ every time.
bwahahaha

One of my clients recently had a difficult labor and delivery, the baby nurses every two to three hours, which becomes all consuming for the mother. I know this firsthand because I nursed four daughters for a total of 8 1/2 years. This client’s husband cooks dinner every night and takes the baby from 6 PM until midnight so that my client can get some sleep. I love that he does this for her and his daughter. He sees how tired she is and wants to participate in her recuperation and loves spending time with his infant daughter. She doesn’t demand this of him.
I understand that you are old school and that this probably wasn’t the case when your wife gave birth to your children. That doesn’t necessarily make your way better.
My former husband’s father was not involved in their lives when they were growing up. It is something that he still carries with him to this day and he’s a 70 year old man. He was also raised in a household where children were to be seen and not heard. His father, a PhD and university Chancellor, hardly acknowledged the children. This creates dysfunction and a sense of lack in children, whether you believe that or not.
Hopefully, we all continue to evolve and stay open to learning new ways of doing things.
Im almost 60. I’m in agreement with you. Paternity leave has nothing to do with bonding. It can mean many things for diff. Reasons. I only have one child and so glad my Mom was around to help, but would have been great if my ex could’ve shared those first few weeks in a more involved way.
I would only add that I did not say that fathers should not be “involved” in the care or support of mother and child. I just don’t think that a traditional father/provider taking close to a month or more off work is warranted, and by definition, puts the stability of the home in danger.
If someone is rich and can afford it (days off work to hover around mother and newborn waiting on them) and it makes them feel good then sure.
But the majority of people can not afford this and that is why there has always been the division of responsibilities between men and women. To deny this fundamental fact of life brings chaos into the home.
By all means men should help the mother any way they can, but essentially quitting your job at the very moment it is needed by the family most is not “a good thing”
You certainly want a lot from your country’s DOT, don’t you? Spoiled kids...

wow! Never seen that before!
Me neither!
Wow!
Another "diversity" pick for Sleepy Joe's cabinet. Most of them wouldn't last 2 weeks in a real job outside of government. He also wins the award for talking the most and saying the least. Have you ever listened to this moron's answers to very direct questions ? ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
Almost the entire cabinet (can't think of any right now who don't do this) spew word salad when asked a question. Can add the Vice President to this too. Everyone one of them was hired for diversity and how many intersectional boxes they check. Not a single one of them would I choose to be the "designated survivor" and have any expectation that they'd be even remotely competent if they had to sit in the big chair.
I thought at first they were purposely screwing things up, but it's become obvious they have no clue how the real world works, none. Trump ran construction sites, with truck deliveries, steel mill contracts, supply chain dependent projects. PB never even had a real job.
Pete Buttplug has to be second in the word salad department to Kamaltoe Hairlip. Remember “We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes. Together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.”
She's awful. Yellen can give them a run for their money. I heard some crazy gibberish out of her this week while before Congress. Asked about one thing and she word saladed some bullshit about climate, systemic racism and other progressive talking points in response, mixed with her normal ums and uhs.
The entire administration is a bunch of babbling misfits. I am going to start calling Brandon "King Moonracer", the ruler of the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. He would fly around the world collecting misfits to surround himself with.
You're saying our 5 star admiral in a dress and wig isn't making a difference somehow? How dare you! Do you know what month it is? It will come out as a minority for juneteenth so that Biden can give them an extra few stars. That'll teach all the bigots a lesson.
Between him, Kamala Harris, and Biden I honestly can’t even figure out what they’re talking about by the time they’re finished!
Transportation needs to be boring, predictable, like clock-work, ie; un-cool. What a joke.
As an uncool truck driver who also deals with airplanes, I agree completely.
💕
But wait, nothing can top the rainbow bullets from the Marine Corp to celebrate pride month. Now that's some really cool! hahaha
My neighbor is a 20 year Marine Corps, Vietnam Vet with 2 purple hearts. I think that's cool. Rainbow bullets, not so much.
"...cool again"? When was the Department of Transportation ever "cool"? Even if it was, he is certainly not the "man" who could return anything to its former glory.
😂
Yeah. A transport secretary who forces all pilots to take vaccines, which have this nasty side effect of causing heart attacks and strokes. So now we have pilots flying with ... ticking spike-protein timebombs in their bodies. Why? Two choices: 1) utter incompetence, 2) its a plan: No More Flying For You, Plebes.
Since I wasn't invited to the meeting, I have no idea which one it is.
And took a 3 month "paternity" leave during a supply chain crisis. WinTactualF
Oh I thought people were making it up. They have a baby?
2 babies.
I don’t watch TV, so I did not know, but I looked it up and saw that they adopted twins.
All of the above. LOTS of the nearish-retired just went ahead and retired rather than take the jab and deal with this sh!tsh0w. Huge pilot shortage.
Don’t you just love how The regulation lovers went against the FAA reg for pilots NOT to participate in any experimental drug trials? Must have been a loophole in that reg. It’s OK if it is the biggest human trial in history.
That's because they don't want a control group.
That sounds like a great legal case for the pilots. Did not realize that’s what happened! I learn so much on Substack.
Scares me in I’m flying in a week.
The pilots need to be getting cardiac testing, the same way some schools are requiring testing children who want to participate in school sports.
It is a pilot shortage for *reasons*. Airlines have started reducing training and other requirements to start churning out pilots faster. That's comforting.
Yes. Equity pilots because that's what's important when you're flying a full plane of people at 40,000 ft. Who needs proper training?
https://simpleflying.com/united-airlines-pilot-diversity-critisism/
This administration wants unintelligent people who will eventually depend on government for their every need. They're much easier to control than those of us who are critical thinkers.
Yep
Even after 9/11 the planes ran on time except the shoe thing and all those blue uniforms watching grandma
Absolute tossers, the lot of them.
sounds better when you say it
Still funny
No one annoys me as much as this guy. Complete fraud, so full of himself, zero results, talks down to people, he's completely manufactured and fake.
What do you mean, Secy Pete has an impeccable background and qualifications. He worked for the CIA in Afghanistan *as a driver*, then on to McKinsey to help companies figure out how to pay people less and close factories, then mayor of that sprawling urban powerhouse South Bend Indiana, where he couldn't even keep the potholes filled. Hey I have an idea, let's make him/her/it Head of Transportation!
Add that Biden and Harris have become the biggest Bumbling-Stumbling Idiots to ever grace the Executive Branch. 8 year olds speak better. The U.S. is the laughing stock of the world!
and our enemies are so happy
Yes, our enemies are so happy and emboldened!
Is he still lactating?
If Buttplug would stop rimming, the lactation would cease.
All orchestrated...
Bootyjizz is another passenger in the Democrat (electric) clown car of Dr. Seuss characters.
Ohhhh. “Bootyjizz”....oh damn I’ve ruptured something...🤣
🤭
It’s a freak show.
Booty Judge is an abject failure, just like his boss, FICUS, The Potted Plant (fraud-in-chief of the United States).
I am so going to use "FICUS" going forward!
You are most welcome!
😂
They were always NWO/WEF Marxists plotting to destroy the U.S. First kill our fuel supply then increase inflation destroy the economy and the the middle class and try to make everyone dependent on Soviet style handouts. In that they have succeeded.
I was a kid during the Carter admin and remember all to well the specter of Russia and nuclear war. It's MUCH worse now. Just dreadful and incompetent officials at all levels in multiple ways . Elections can't come fast enough.
Don't forget about the fact the Iranian mullahs can now make a nuke. Thanks Biden and Obama. It's like they want Israel to get wiped off the map.
That is why Israel keeps assassinating their nuclear scientists and IRGC leaders.
Except for the last IRGC guy-there are reports that he was suspected of espionage so his own side took him out and made it look like an Israeli hit.
People gotta vote and real counting must happen
How many mules does it take to change the outcome of a midterm election?
If only.
...but Janet Yellen said inflation was transitory. Doesn't that mean it's coming down like, really really soon, like it's temporary? Maybe "transitory" according to Yellen means prices are higher for the next decade and then they go back to where they were when Trump was president. I've canceled Netflix, Disney+, my home phone service (I didn't use it anyway), my summer vacation, and I put off getting a new smartphone. My son needed a new suit for graduation but instead we're taking his existing suit to the tailor and having the pant legs lengthened and the sleeves lengthened. Who has money for clothes anymore? If Sleepy Joe keeps this up, we're going to be going through the city trash cans to find food! Stop voting for Democrats people!!!
We have Trans inflation. Trans means what she wants it to mean. You thought she intended transitory in the the traditional meaning of "a short and inconsequential duration". What she really meant was Trans - sitioning to a permanent economic cancer on America led by the Green New Deal ideology and destroying any chance of real creation of value followed by storing such value in the form of savings. Trans-intioning the meaning of transitory is so very very Trans which is a leftie's foundational belief.
Trump was out of his element dealing with pharma companies who have lied to the public about drugs and vaccines for decades. As far as surrendering to the Taliban, that was the job of Sleepy Joe. Also, Trump did not bankrupt fracking companies, Democrats and Greenie Weenies have put energy companies at a disadvantage and now look at the price of gas. Trump is part of the solution, Democrats are the problem. But I agree that we've spent billions on a crappy vaccine.
But we got a woman, African-American (check this, Haiti-American), immigrant, lesbian White House press secretary. I didn't know about all of these accomplishments until she told me this in the first 2 minutes of her new job. So I said, "Damn, our president is awesome." She's also the first press secretary who also needs a teleprompter, prompting me to think that the MVP of the White House is the teleprompter quarterback.
She's not African, she's Haitian, born on the Caribbean island of Martinique. She is the first Caribbean American I've ever encountered who is as dumb as a box of rocks. All the ones I've known over the decades were very smart and hard-working people. I suppose it was about time to run across the exception to the rule!
Thanks. I've now edited my above post. Don't they practice voodoo in Haiti? Maybe there was some kind of sneaky voodoo that got her her new gig? I wish her well though. I also think everyone who has her job is guaranteed a future job at CNN, MSNBC or Fox News (not applicable in her case). This means we will soon get a Haiti-American-lesbian-female perspective on the administration of President DeSantis. This is long overdue.
Sticking pins in Voodoo dolls of white men, LOL....
Does that hurt? Now, does that hurt?
She transed from being born capable and smart and hard-working to her true inner victim intersectional self. She was born in the wrong body, on the wrong continent, of the wrong parents, and brought up in the wrong culture. She's home now.
Dang-it, Haitians have that really cool accent, eh mon! She's just your typical token. An Affirmative Action broad who won the lottery, but doesn't even know how little she actually learned! It is very sad!
Justin Bieber just announced half his face is paralyzed. Don't worry it wasn't the vax. A virus did it.
This after his wife had a stroke and then heart problem.
But can you imagine how much worse covid could have been for both of them?
Reminds me of that article People magazine wrote about how attractive the members of Obama’s administration were.
Petey recommended electric airliners until he was told the cords would get tangled at 37,000 feet above Kansas.
before biden made the ruble the top performing currency in the world, before biden soiled himself in front of the pope, before we had genetically modified monkeypox...
https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/05/30/fauci-funded-monkeypox-virus-treatment-study/
Best line:
"“The funding supports a clinical trial to identify effective treatments for monkeypox virus disease,” explains a summary of the research, which, despite beginning in September 2020, has not generated any publicly available studies, papers, or patents."
another odd note is that somehow bill gates was prepared for the unlikely event of a monkeypox outbreak
he is so smart!
https://nypost.com/2022/05/28/monkeypox-simulation-in-2021-predicted-current-outbreak/
I'm reminded of when Castro put Che in charge of the Cuban economy, and Che had to get a math teacher to help in out with the basics!
In March 2021, I knew that President Biden was suffering from dementia and that his cognitive decline was getting worse ... which it has. But I guess I was the only person in America who noticed this or thought this. Certainly no members of the WH press corps have picked up on this. Nor have any WH staffers.
Check out Tucker's interview with Tom Wood on Fox Nation. Just aired ystrdy. Biden viewed as America's crime boss.💥
He's never really been smart, just willing to be bribed. So, he is useful to some people and some other countries.
He's definitely "useful" to the people who really run the country and the world.
and remember folks "roads are racists" so now with the price of gas the will be empty so we don't have to worry about it.
He SO could be the new cover for MAD magazine if it was re-born
TRU DAT! LOL
Boot edge edge is a first class wanker
Pete has star power and loads of cool? That is some fawning.
What was he ever the star of? He sucked at being Mayor of South Bend IN.
No pun intended.
I didn't even see that. Yeah, I wasn't trying for a joke.
That was a few weeks before the maid of honor from our wedding got killed by the vaccine too. I remember those days fondly!

Oh. That's awful. I'm sorry. I had a friend died 4 days after 1 jab.
I know 2 people that died now from the kill shots. 1 from heart attack and 1 from re-emergence of aggressive cancer. My FIL went from very active 80 year old, to damn near dead with blood clots in his lungs. Still not fully recovered after 9 months. Know how many people I know that died from COVID ? ZERO ! Thank goodness for this forum. On other social media platforms that I rarely look at - people can't wait to get their 2nd booster and are hoping for approval to jab their kids under 5. The Branch COVIDIANs are still out there and they are terrifying.
I know. I would have lost it. My friend who died from the jab, his wife (lovely woman) committed suicide after.
I’ve got Survivors Guilt. Need a shrink
💕
sorry to hear that. the end of that article has a way to look up deaths and AEs by lot #. Lot EN6201 grows every single week in body count. One lot! Yet they can chase down listeria outbreaks for a single guy with bad gas to a McDonald's in Topeka. This hot lot issue is the thing that ought to be bringing down the whole program. Last I checked it was over 180 deaths from EN 6201
Notorious DoT in the house!
I miss your tweets so much!
Why does it feel like we don’t have the best and brightest leading this country? Now it’s all about how many “diversity” boxes you check. I hope the next president is a Muslim, transgender, handicapped, non-binary,alien that identifies as a cat! Imagine how much of a strength this diversity would be!
Ummmm, "no tank yew"...that's exactly what we have now!
Everyone’s very clever comments are making me laugh out loud. Thank you!
Hey Petey, Do you realize that Ukraine doesn't recognize same gender marriage? How can you support sending billions of aid to a country like that?
Spike it Petey.
I'll bet HIS kid never wanted for formula
And if he had to check multiple store he could just cruise around in his electric vehicle because he is more virtuous than the peasants.
No serious person thought this Resident would do anything different than he has. In his patrons' eyes, this regime is a huge success.
every one of these people in the Brandon administration are doing exactly what they are supposed to. Screw shit up as much as possible.
Can everybody say "Great Reset"?
Oh, that was last year? It feels like it’s been a DECADE
When was the Biden administration “not such a complete disaster???????”
Did anyone but his own press department ever actually think Bootygig was cool?
He was never cool. His attempts to be cool made me cringe, and I'm too old to be cool myself.
Real cool jumped the shark with the Fonz ... who actually made a pretty cool comeback when he coached the Water Boy and his teammates to that big victory in the Bourbon Bowl.
Oh wow! I’m so happy that the priority is to make bureaucrats cool. By the way, does anyone need baby formula? Or a loan to fill your gas tank or buy groceries?
Alex, you skipped the 2020 election fraud. I know you’ve not been willing to go there yet. But, come on, man! Let’s get all the cards on the table.
Fuck these selfish shameless soulless sociopathic shitbags masquerading as humans! My God, how many more people need to die and live in abject misery before you realize that these leftist scum need to be driven from American soil!?
Or, as their demented despicable leader said this afternoon, about punching people in the face he doesn’t agree with, let them come at us and then we’ll bury them in the soil!…
Alas, now the headlines and airwaves report that Buttigieg, too, is struggling to find formula for his babies. (Well, actually, he's not, they eventually clarify. He has enough formula, shelves and shelves of it. But he's just like you, because he has infants who require formula to live and because can and-- and often does!-- imagine what it must be like not to have enough because that's how compassionate he is, and how aware of his privilege, which he sort of has but he is also a member of a victim class so don't start getting too worked up about his privilege because people on the Internet are mean to him!)
As Bette Midler so courageously said, why doesn't he just breastfeed the little darlings?
yep
Hypothesis: fuel costs are up due to scarcity after how hard and often the propaganda engine has been run in the past twelve months.
I bet most gay men find Sec Pete an embarrassment.
Pre-Covid, the "narrative" was that inflation - said to be around 2 percent - was "too low." The Fed was trying to produce MORE inflation. Then they got more and said it was "transitory" and "contained." Today, the narrative is that this is good for electric car sales ... but then Bill Gates shorts the stock of Tesla, so I'm very confused. I'm going to come out and say it. I don't think the narratives are true. Can I be banned from Alex's substack?
The guy who drove a SUV to a photo op and just as he got within range of the fourth estate , stopped the car, took a bicycle out of the trunk and rode it to the waiting cameras of the presstitudes
apparently the fourth estate saw that part too.
