It’s been an astonishing start to Donald Trump’s return to the presidency. My thoughts:
This Gaza Strip idea might be the one bonkers proposal Trump’s made.
Then again, he has a history of “bonkers” ideas that have eventually panned out.

I am lukewarm on Trump’s executive order regarding males in girls’ sports. I agree with Trump’s move, but I’m not doing handsprings of joy. Why not?
Because for decades now, feminists have been demanding, successfully, that men give women access to every conceivable, traditionally “male arena.” They even got access to the Boy Scouts, for crying out loud.
Yet the minute an outside group (trans athletes) demanded entry to something traditionally female, we heard howls of protest from women’s groups. So yes, I agree with Trump’s ban on trans athletes. But no, I will not celebrate with you, because you are hypocrites.

Vivek Ramaswamy let his inner “I was a high school nerd who was envious of the popular jocks” mentality get the best of him when he criticized American youth. Big mistake. Americans like their jocks better than they like tech companies that hire cheap employees from India.

I’m not sure that the edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris is quite so scandalous as conservatives want us to believe.
I mean, isn’t it pretty much standard practice for most news shows to heavily edit taped interviews?

Speaking of feminist hypocrisy … a writer for Decider decided to share her lust for a certain black actor:
I am trying to imagine the backlash if a male journalist on a mainstream Web site salivated like that over, oh, Zoe Saldana, perhaps.
Using the magic of A.I., we decided to help Nicole indulge her fantasies by placing her on the set of 1975’s Mandingo with star Ken Norton (top picture and below):

I am not excited about tomorrow’s Super Bowl. I want both teams to lose. Eagles fans are the worst, and I am sick to death of Taylor Swift and her lunkhead boyfriend.
I am, however, looking forward to Bianca Censori’s nude halftime show.
