Vogue’s ‘Red Queen’ Throws Shade At Melania

by

Vogue Fashion Writer, Lynn Yaeger, A.K.A. “The Red Queen”, unloaded this piece of snark on Melania Trump, “Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics”.   Shall we compare and contrast Lynn’s “Fashion Sense” with Melania’s?

This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force Onewearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille

Segue to Houston….

Hmmm?? Air Force One Must have been supplied with ‘Venue Appropriate’ attire.

While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommend that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.

Now Let’s review some of Lynn “The Red Queen” Yaeger’s most ‘fashionable’ moments…

Cricketeria, Too

by

From FastCompany, “This Giant Automated Cricket Farm Is Designed To Make Bugs A Mainstream Source Of Protein“.  Eeewww!!!

Inside a new building in an industrial neighborhood near the airport in Austin, a robot is feeding millions of crickets, 24 hours a day. The facility–a 25,000-square-foot R&D center that opened this month for the startup Aspire–uses technology that the company plans to soon duplicate in a farm 10 times as large. It’s a scale that the startup thinks is necessary to begin to make cricket food mainstream in the United States.

 

Eating bugs–or at least products made from bugs–has been growing in popularity. For a few years, it’s been possible to buy cricket snacks such as protein bars made with cricket flour or cricket chips (like Chirps) at some grocery stores or online. But for insect food to fulfill its sustainable promise of supplying protein without the massive carbon and land footprint of beef, it will have to be much more widely available, and more affordable. Aspire believes its farms can make that possible.

Here’s the actual ‘Automated Cricket Factory’. And I thought all you needed to do to ‘farm’ crickets was drop some crumbs on the floor and turn off the lights.

Penultimate Gender Truism

This little Gender SJW will never have a chance to figure out the ‘ultimate’ gender truism until his own zirself’s zesack recovers from the willie-wack it took from the rubber bullet.  Until then, hir/zir will have to settle for second best.  Did I get that gender pronoun junk right?

Trump Pardons Sheriff Joe – Senator Jeff ‘Flakes and Moans’

by

NewsMax reports, “Jeff Flake: Trump Should Have Honored Judicial Process on Arpaio“.

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said Friday that he would have “preferred” that President Donald Trump allow the judicial process to “take its course” instead of pardoning former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Flake, who has slammed Trump and his policies in recent weeks, took to Twitter:

Remember, come Primary Season, that Senator Flake has aligned himself with Hillary Clinton’s view of Sheriff Joe. Hillary’s view, from the New York Times,

Hillary Clinton sharply denounced Sheriff Joe Arpaio, saying the Maricopa County sheriff, who became the face of hard-line anti-immigration policies because of his tactics here, had treated his “fellow human beings with disrespect” and contempt.”

“It just makes my heart sink,” Mrs. Clinton told a rally of mostly Latino supporters on Monday. “We are better than that.”

Yes, Senator. You make our hearts sink, too. Such a disappointment you are.
