Monday's Parade of Absurdities: Super Bowl Edition

Let’s go right to today’s procession of rank idiocy from our friends on the political left…

We can start with this little gem from the doddering Speaker of the House of Representatives:

Breaking911 @Breaking911

PELOSI: "The fact that people have jobs always contributes to an increase in inflation and that’s a good thing."

Yet, somehow, Donald Trump managed to produce an inflation rate of 1.4% and a 3.5% rate of unemployment simultaneously. In San Fran Nan’s world, Trump must be a magician.

Pelosi, in the same interview, also claimed that “defund the police” is not now and never has been the official position of the Democrat party. No really, she actually said that:

Tom Fitton @TomFitton

After Pelosi House spent 2 years attacking and defunding police, Pelosi says, "defund the police" is dead. politi.co/3uN5cNB via @politico

politi.co‘Defund the police’ is not the policy of the Democratic Party, Pelosi says“Make no mistake, community safety is our responsibility,” she said.

Here’s an excerpt from that story at Politico:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that the idea of defunding the police, a frequently used slogan during the 2020 elections, is not the direction that the Democratic Party is headed.

“Make no mistake, community safety is our responsibility,” Pelosi said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I quote one of my colleagues from New York, Ritchie Torres, a brand new member of Congress way on the left, saying that ‘defund the police’ is dead. That causes a concern with a few in our caucus. But public safety is our responsibility.”

Host George Stephanopoulos noted that rising crime was a major concern of Americans these days and cited divisions within the party on law enforcement, referring to Missouri Rep. Cori Bush as someone backing the idea of defunding the police.

“That’s not the position of the Democratic Party, with all due respect to Cori Bush,” Pelosi said. “Community safety to protect and defend in every way is our oath of office.”

[End]

Yeah, sure, Nan.

Speaking of doddering imbeciles, we have this from the Sock Puppet-in-Chief this morning:

ABC News @ABC

Four years after the Parkland, Florida, massacre, Pres. Biden says his administration stands with the advocates working to end gun violence and urges the nation to uphold the “solemn obligation” to “keep each other safe.” abcn.ws/3rPl7JH

It's like clockwork: An election’s coming up, he and his party are foundering in the polls, so he kicks off their biennial demagoguery about guns, with help from his corrupt toadies in the MSM. It’s the same tiresome thing every two years. Page 52 from the Official Democrat Playbook.

This is a clip of celebrities assembled at the Super Bowl Sunday night in Los Angeles:

Chris Fore @chriscfore

My students all have to wear masks all day tomorrow, inside and outside of their classrooms because we are in LA County. Same place as the Super Bowl. But not a mask in sight here.

As Chris Fore notes, despite the fact that none of these celebs and few of the 80,000 or so people assembled in SoFi Stadium wore masks as supposedly required by edict of Democrat LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, every kid in LA will be required to mask up when they head off to school today.

Oh, hey, here’s the Mayor himself in a Ram’s jersey at last night’s game:

Trevor Tre' Keveloh🌪 @TrevorKeveloh

A maskless @ericgarcetti #GoRams @LACity @RamsNFL

That boy sure is good at holding his breath, huh?

Here’s Martha Stewart and that fat guy on the Food Channel, taking maskless selfies:

See any of the fans behind them wearing masks? Anybody at all?

But the school kids, who are virtually invulnerable to this virus, will be masked up today at the demand of the communists who run the nation’s teachers unions. That’s the truth.

A sane society would make teachers unions illegal.

Speaking of things that a sane society would outlaw, look: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is trying to get a date with Ted Cruz!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Ted Cruz could never

The Senator is a happily married man, AOC. Sorry.

Justin Castro, er, “Trudeau” begs to differ:

Finally, a woman named Candice Bergen we can admire.

From the world of Energy Absurdity, we have this today from the head of the International Energy Agency:

IEA Chief Fatih Birol Monday urged OPEC+ member nations that have been producing below their quotas in recent months to...wait for it...PRODUCE MORE OIL!

This is the same Fatih Birol, of course, who regularly runs around the world reciting the fantasy-based talking points of the "energy transition." It is the same Fatih Birol who last July told the world that it needed to stop making all new investments in new oil projects to save the world from burning up in 10 years. It is the very same Fatih Birol who regularly applauds ESG investor groups for their efforts to deny capital needed by the oil industry to finance new drilling projects.

Guess why those OPEC+ countries this silly, vapid man is lecturing today haven't been meeting their production quotas lately? C'mon, you can do do it - this is not complicated. Just read the previous paragraph.

You just could never, never, ever make these people up, folks. And why would you ever want to?

That is all.
