    I wasn’t sure where to put this. Most of you are no doubt aware of the Babylon Bee, a satire site, which has the distinction of apparently 100s of it satirical postings turn out to come true.

    Well, now it’s time for Not The Bee, things that SHOULD be satire but, unfortunately, are not.

    Interesting site Thomas and as luck would have it, I just came across something that should be featured as satire but sadly..is the truth. (I was looking for some place to put this)

    So, it goes something like this.
    It is common knowledge that the American citizens who got jabbed to prevent the effects of Covid 19 got it free because the American taxpayer paid for it which doesn’t make it really free because somebody got paid.

    Now, this is where it gets hairy.
    Moderna, one of the pharm companies supplying the jab reported earnings of 18.4 Billion dollars in 2021 and 19.2 Billion in 2022 but they were recently found to be infringing upon an existing patent whilst making all that yummy taxpayer money.
    In short, the consequence of the infringement is that 2 biotech companies are now suing Moderna.

    Our generosity at its best:
    The Government, which never ceases to amaze about how generous with taxpayer money it can be, filed a Statement of Interest which pledges to essentially bail Moderna out of whatever adjudications are brought forward against Moderna in the suit.

    A happy ending:
    Moderna gets to keep it’s previously reported earnings even though the product they sold wasn’t really their formula to begin with whilst the American taxpayer gets to pay for each jab a second time because paying for it once wasn’t obviously enough.

    Well, this oughta spark things up.
    Kamala Harris was, for 85 minutes, President of the United States or rather, acting pres.

    Whilst Joe Biden was baring his rear end and getting a colonoscopy, Kamala served as acting President of the United States whilst he was under anesthesia.
    So, I guess that means that Hillary can stop trying to be the first female president because she got beat out by not only another woman but a bi-racial one at that.

    Notably, Dick Cheney also had the distinction of being the acting President whilst G. Bush was getting probed too.
    I do hope that it wasn’t the colonoscopy doctor that Dick took hunting with him.

    Not sure if this is an April Fools joke or if Budweiser actually is sponsoring this. This is the trans guy who was making a big deal about living for a year as a female, and was even invited to the White House by Biden (no surprise there).
    Now he/she posted a video on their social media saying that Bud light has come out with a special edition in his honor. Interesting that the whole year started and ended on a day we named for fools ?
    Whether it is real or fake, I think it is not going to increase sales for Budweiser Beer, and this is not their target market, by a long ways.
    I tried to post the link, but it would not copy right, so here is a screenshot, and you can see more if you go to the website.

    For some reason I just can’t wrap my head around a real man appreciating a picture of a “wanna be” woman on his can of beer.
    The next thing will be calendars with pictures of him being given away at hardware stores.

    American Thinker has an article on this guy being the face of Budweiser. I read elsewhere that he is upset "no man wants to kiss him."

    I went on Budweiser's press page and found nothing regarding this guy, but there's a Fox News article where Bud confirms the partnership. They say he helps Bud "authentically connect with audiences."

    The thing is, if I had no television or internet, I would say that life is as normal as it's always been.

    Thought this could be a good place to bring up our wacko VP, "What is she smoking" is a good question, and where is her head at. I think we all know the answer to the last question, in her present existence, right :rolleyes::confused:
