“I’m not ruling it out.  I’m not saying no,
but I’m also not saying yes.”
– Eric Trump’s response when asked if he would run for president in 2028. 
As if there’s gonna be an election in 2028.

We’re in a time when the inconceivable happens on a daily basis.  And yet, I am still shocked.  I inexplicably found myself watching CNN when I heard the news that the Department of Justice is considering banning transgender people from owning guns.  The excuse for this is the shooting in a Minneapolis church that was allegedly perpetrated by a trans woman.  This made me wonder – exactly how many crazed trans people are shooting people?  Being a stickler for stats, I can tell you – since 1966, the number of mass shootings by trans people is less than one percent.   Admittedly, that number goes up a smidge if you consider people who have been in Jodie Foster movies.  I looked further and found that the mass shootings committed by women are less than four percent.  Seems to me, the solution is to take guns away from men.  But I’m no expert…or casting director.

Days later, I read something even more implausible.  Tucker Carlson (who has a lifetime subscription to BillyMasters.com) accused Pete Buttigieg of secretly being straight!  Yes, he believes Mayor Pete is pretending to be gay to help his political career.  Isn’t that a kick?  Being gay can actually help you win an election – or at least Tucker believes so, and who would argue with him?  Other than Ann Coulter (see the previous item).  So, riddle me this – how would Tucker prove such a thing?  He’d like to sit down with Pete and ask him specific questions about his sex life.  How kinky!  “I’ve always wanted to interview him.  He’s never agreed to an interview, but I’m gonna ask him like some very specific questions about gay sex and see if he can even answer.  I doubt he even knows.”  Which begs the question – how much does Tucker know?  Oh, that nasty boy.
