Vice President Pence visited the USS Harry S Truman and stupidity presaged his arrival.

The ship’s senior enlisted sailor told other sailors to “clap like you’re at a strip club” for the Vice President’s arrival. 13News Now reporter Evan Watson, who was in attendance for the event, heard the remarks.

According to the report, the Chief has gone from salt water to hot water.

The North Jersey Record takes a long, in-depth look at how vaccinations became controversial. I commend the article to your attention. Here’s a bit:

Facebook and Google both were called out earlier this year for serving up false information in searches and spreading misinformation. Women of childbearing age in Washington State reportedly were targeted on Facebook with anti-vax messages after that state’s governor declared measles in one county a public health emergency. Both companies said they would take steps to direct users to more credible sources, but did not completely remove problematic content.

U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, also chided Amazon for accepting paid advertising from anti-vaccine groups.

Russian Internet trolls and bots (one used the hashtag #VaccinateUS) have also “weaponized” public health messages to sow discord among the American public, using vaccines as a wedge issue, researchers found.

By issuing both anti- and pro-vaccine tweets and memes they attempt to make it seem vaccine safety and efficacy are open to debate and create mistrust of public health institutions and experts.

I can remember pictures of rows of children suffering from polio ensconced in iron lungs. And today we have some who would willingly bring those days back.

We are a society of stupid.

From disorderly conduct to battering a police officer is one swell foop (details at the link):

While being booked for causing a disturbance at a bar, a Florida Man rubbed the buttocks of a fingerprint technician, according to a police report which notes that the suspect said he pawed the female victim because “she was sexy.”

The stupid. It burns.

When I was growing up at Pine View Farm, we had a windmill (in the picture above, it would have been behind the right ell of the house). Granted, it was relic from before the electric water pump was installed, but there it was.

Maybe that explains it.

Birther of the Nation 0

President Obama’s country of origin is not the only birthplace the Donald Trumples. Field reports (emphasis in the original):

And the conman in chief was at it again today. The man actually lied about where his father was born for crying out loud.

“My father is German, right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany,” Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is from Norway.

Ahhhm, no Donald, your father was born in New York. I mean seriously, who does this? Who lies with all the world watching about where his father was born? I am starting to think that the man just can’t help himself. Surely he must have known that this could be easily fact checked. I suppose that when you tell so many lies and you are used to getting away with them you become emboldened to just tell more.
