Episode 937 – Much Ado About Nothing

Australia decides to go down the road of modesty.

Trump goes on X (formerly Twitter) and the Left starts to flip out.

And it has been 24 days since Kamala Harris has become the nominee and she still has not been asked a question.

I Agree With This

Of all places, it is Australia that is calling for some modesty while at the beach.

According to the New York Post:

There are fresh calls for G-string bikinis to be banned after thousands of Australians weighed in on the controversial swimwear item, with many declaring the garment “offensive” and “too revealing” for public places.

The skimpy cossie, which puts the wearer’s bottom on full display, has copped a barrage of criticism since it became a cult fashion trend in recent years.

In fact, some hate the racy bikini bottoms so much, they’ve called on local authorities to ban G-string bikinis on Aussie beaches – a move many described as “policing women’s bodies”.

Now the topic has been ignited once again, after a post on the popular Meanwhile in Australia Facebook group asked: “Should G-string bikinis be banned in water parks?”

The question was posed alongside an image of a woman wearing a pink micro bikini while taking a photo of her boyfriend in front of an orange slide.

It asked for Aussies to give the photo a thumbs up to vote “yes” on a ban, while those who were happy for water park goers to rock a G-string could click on the laughing face emoji to vote for “no”.

People responded in the thousands to the image, with more than 7000 voting against a ban on G-strings in public places.

But not far behind with 6600 votes, were those who believed the item was “inappropriate”, many of whom voiced their bikini concerns in the comments section.

“What kids have see at the beach and theme parks, at such young ages, these days is ridiculous,” one scoffed.

Later in the article:

Women protested against calls to ban G-string bikinis on the Gold Coast in February after a local resident claimed women and girls who wear them to the beach are “cheapening themselves”.

Youth Music Venture festival founder Ian Grace said the skimpy swimwear, which he said made him “uncomfortable”, in a letter that quickly went viral.

But his plea was widely blasted as “sexist”.

Outspoken personality Abbie Chatfield later described it as “policing women’s bodies”.

Dumbass of the Day

This is from the Daily Paws:

Dogs see the world in fewer hues than humans, primarily in shades of blue and yellow. They have two types of color-detecting cells called cones in their eyes, allowing them to distinguish blue from yellow but not red from green. Additionally, dogs have better motion visibility and night vision compared to humans, but their visual acuity is lower, meaning they see things less sharply.

Someone is Jealous

Trump went on X and was interviewed by Elon Musk. I heard it. It was great.

Here are the takeaways:

  • The site was attacked by a distributed-denial-of-service attack.
  • Trump Describes July 13 Assassination Attempt.
  • Trump Hammers Home Message on Economy and Inflation.
  • Musk, Trump Talk at Length about Immigration and Energy Policy.
  • Trump Blasts Harris for Avoiding Interviews.
  • Trump Tells Musk Biden Was Ousted By Democrats in a ‘Coup’.
  • Musk: Dems ‘Took [Biden] Out Back Behind the Shed and Basically Shot Him’.
  • Musk, highlighting the need to reduce spending, then proposed a Government Efficiency Commission that would evaluate all of the government’s spending and cut out spending that was not sensible so that the government can get back to living within its means.
  • Musk’s Trump Interview, Discussion Generates 1 Billion Views, X Says.

The Trump campaign responded:

President Trump has been speaking for over an hour to over a million people about his winning agenda for the American people. Kamala is BIG MAD about this as she refuses to speak to the media, do an interview, or even explain what platform she is even running on. So pathetic.

Some things:

  • It was a good, friendly interview. Not adversarial.
  • This was good Trump. It personalized him and he did not look like what the media has been portraying him as.
  • He should do more of these. He should go on Joe Rogan and even The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God.

Go for It!

According to the New York Post:

London’s Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the UK, but on American citizens as well.

“We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded.

The murders, allegedly committed by a now 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents, sparked a series of violent protests that tapped into broader concerns about the scale of immigration in the U.K.

Footage of the violent clashes involving anti-immigration protesters and the groups of counter-protesters, some of whom have been seen waving Palestinian flags, has gone viral on social media, and the government is warning that sharing such content may have serious consequences.

One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media  particularly shocking to critics is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.
