Moron Language (UPDATED)

and she’s not a fat pig, or a sugar junkie, or a twinkie twitcher, she’s a person with CCD: calorie counting disorder

The non-transgender — at least I think so — governor of New York has solved her state’s drug problem, eliminating every single drug addict with just a stroke of her pen; genius!

Hochul administration pitches woke alternative way to refer to drug abusers instead of “addicts”

No more addicts, no more “habitual drug users” (so last year), they’ve been replaced with new, improved versions, “persons with a substance abuse disorder”. They’ll still be useless thieves sucking on the public teat, but in the world of the left, if something sounds nicer, it is nicer, no?

UPDATE: The flip side

Trump Directive Mandates Use of 'Illegal Aliens,' Not 'Undocumented Migrants'

What’s in a word? Plenty, in this case. “Illegal” reminds readers that these people are breaking the law, and that’s why all responsible leftist media outlets stopped using it. And “alien” — the term used in our immigration statutes — is a person who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living, so it’s perfectly accurate to use the word when discussing our new friends from south of the border. Accurate, and there’s the rub: in the new world order there will be no borders, no countries, so there can be no aliens; we’re all just brothers and sisters under one loving god; imagine that.

The roundup begins: ICE rounds up 308 child molsters, rapists and robbers on first day of the Golden Age

The coast-to-coast dragnet — a multi-agency effort led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — picked up felons in and around Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Miami, a senior Trump administration official said.

In Boston, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that ICE officers arrested at least 8 migrants — including a Haitian gang member with 18 arrests who shouted “f**k Trump, Biden forever!” as he was hauled away.

ICE also nabbed one illegal migrant who wasn’t originally a target, but happened to be with MS-13 gang member when the feds showed up.

A White House official gave The Post details of some of the other migrants taken into ICE custody on Tuesday.

Sex offender Edward Marlon Rauda-Aldnada, 56, of El Salvador, was arrested in Silver Spring, Maryland, just north of Washington, DC.

Jose Barco-Chirino, a Venezuelan national, was taken into custody at Colorado State Prison in Canon City, Colo., where he was serving time after being convicted of attempted murder, extreme indifference and felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon.

ERO busted Miguel Andres-Mateo, 20, from Guatemala, in Cornelia, Georgia, outside Atlanta. Andres-Mateo had previously been convicted for driving under the influence and was previously ordered removed from the US in 2014 by an immigration judge. He, too, will remain in ICE custody pending removal from the country.

In Philadelphia, ICE nabbed Kodir Mazhidov, a 22-year-old Tajik national, who was detained after violating the terms of his release from the immigration agency’s custody. On Dec. 29, Philly cops arrested Mazhidov for crimes including reckless endangering another person, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer and reckless driving.

Authorities in Seattle arrested Mexican national Victorino Gaytan-Hernandez, who was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor. He was in the country illegally and will be held in ICE custody until his deportation.

In Miami, ICE arrested six illegal aliens from Guatemala who were living in Martin County, Fla., who had lengthy rap sheets including battery, child abuse, fraud, resisting arrest, DWI, trespassing and vandalism. They were detained as threats to public safety and for violating the terms of their release.

Much too long to read (or listen to), but I'm posting it just to point out that, to my relief, I'm not the only one who'd never heard of Carrie Underwood before Monday

A Beginner's Guide to Carrie Underwood

….I've seen several of our readers mention that they didn't know much about her before, but they'd like to know more going forward. [That may be overstating it a bit — ED] While I'm sure she doesn't need my help selling albums, I just wanted to take some time to share some of her best music with you and prove even further that there's an extremely talented woman behind all the misleading liberal headlines.  

I assume the Nutmeg Nitwit is positioning himself to run for President, but will the rest of the country's voters prove as clueless as Connecticut's?

Connecticut’s junior senator is again in the news, and again playing for the cameras, not anything effectual. He’s delaying a Senate vote (that he’ll lose) for, at most, two days, which he acknowledges, so rather than jamming a stick in the wheels of the Trump juggernaut, as he’s pretending, he’s merely placing baseball cards in a bicycle’s wheels:lots of noise, but accomplishing nothing.

Dem who called Trump 'existential threat to democracy' now blocking his nominees

Sen. Chris Murphy said there were 'serious concerns' from some Democrats about Trump's CIA pick John Ratcliffe

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., disrupted Senate Republicans' plans to quickly confirm President Donald Trump's national security nominees on Tuesday night when he objected to bypassing lengthy procedural votes that are routinely skipped. 

"Unfortunately, we were at the point of almost having a consent agreement to have a vote on the confirmation of John Ratcliffe to be the CIA director tomorrow. Not today, not yesterday, when it should have happened, but tomorrow," Senate Republican Conference Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said on the chamber floor. "But the senator from Connecticut has decided to object at the last minute."

"I don't really understand the objection to Mr. Ratcliffe. He was confirmed by the Senate to be the director of National intelligence. He was fully vetted through the bipartisan process in the Senate Intelligence Committee. We voted him out yesterday on a 14 to 3 vote," Cotton, also the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, continued. 

Murphy's Tuesday night objection to speeding through the routine procedural votes is the first case of Democrats using the strategy Republicans employed while in the Senate minority to gain leverage to negotiate. 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., expressed his frustration with the objection on the floor, saying, "OK, so 14 to 3 coming out of the committee. And we've now wasted a whole day where we could have been acting on that nomination."

"And so really, I think the question before the House is, do we want a vote on these folks on Tuesday or vote on them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Because that's what we're going to do," he said, threatening weekend votes in the upper chamber. 

It took over twenty years — 1950 to 1971 — to get the "new" Greenwich High School built, so why should anyone have expected a hockey rink to be approved after just 15?

maybe someone will donate his backyard

RTM reject the 117th plan for a replacement rink, placing the arena back on thin ice.

Nothing new under the sun here, we’re famous for these neighborhood squabbles. The high school was delayed for decades as various factions fought it out: One school, or two; east side of town, west side, or center? Everyone finally grew too tired of the dispute to continue, so they settled on building a single school, on a swamp. We’re still trying to remediate the consequences of that compromise.

My guess is that, with costs continuing to escalate, the town’s finally going to discover that it’d be far cheaper to build a Space X launching facility and go with that.

First we lose our low-cost domestics to Trump's deportations, now he's taking our guacamole!
