I know I should be dealing with something that's really important such as the fact that the Trump regime is still caging the children of people being denied asylum and killing them as the Bitch of the Baby Gulag, Kirstjen Nielsen lies to Congress about it.
During her first hearing before the new Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen insisted that the cages Customs and Border Protection (CBP) used to detain migrant and asylum-seeking kids aren’t really cages.
“Sir, they are not cages, they are areas of the border facility that are carved out for the safety and protection of those who remain there while they’re being processed,” Nielsen said during an exchange with House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS).
Thompson, unimpressed with Nielsen’s euphemistic description, responded by telling her, “Don’t mislead the committee.”
Thompson wasn’t the only Democrat who didn’t buy Nielsen’s semantic games. Under questioning from Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) a short time later, Nielsen had a hard time differentiating between CBP’s facilities for detained kids and dog kennels.
“Does it differ from the cages you put your dogs in when you let them stay outside?” Watson Coleman asked.
“Yes ... it’s larger, it has facilities, it provides room to sit, to stand, to lay down —”
“So does my dog’s cage,” Watson Coleman interjected.
I was going to write another fluff piece about how Google doodles are a sort of later day version of the silly French Revolutionary Calendar because I'm not feeling well with this chronic illness I've got. But the news is too serious to waste time on making fun of that aspect of materialist scientism holding up scientists and mathematicians whose work the tiniest fraction of their audience will understand (hands up, all of those who understand Hilbert's 19th problem or the convergence of a finite difference method for the Navier–Stokes equations, I know I don't) but will understand they are to held in mystical awe. Maybe I'll do that another day, maybe after Lent is over, maybe after the Trump regime are all in prison.
