Abstinence-only education making a comeback under Trump



Abstinence-only education — encouraging adolescents to wait until marriage for sex — is making a comeback under President Trump.

In a marked departure from the previous administration, conservatives at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are putting an emphasis on abstinence to reduce teen pregnancy rates...

I would love to sit in on one of those HHS meetings where people start throwing out how good an idea abstinence-only education is and see all the yes-men chins nodding up and down in unison. Don't any of these people have teenage children?

Yeah, and weren't any of those men teenage children at one point?

Yup, they were the ones who couldn't make it to first base even on Prom Night.

LOL.

So they know abstinence works from personal experience.

There's probably more than a little truth in that, actually.

Yeah, no kidding.  And they already have legislation out there in the works that would legalize the emotional extortion they've been practicing for the last few years.  "Vote Trump or go to HELL", et al.)

PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—Kim Jong Un has revealed to close associates that he has offered to meet Donald J. Trump only as a means of achieving his real goal: meeting the former adult-film star Stormy Daniels.

A confidant of the North Korean dictator said that Kim revealed his true intentions behind the Trump invitation at a high-level government meeting on Thursday night. “Kim said that he was a big fan of Stormy’s, and he decided that meeting with Trump would be a ‘necessary evil’ if he wanted a chance to meet her,” the confidant said.

According to the confidant, Kim first attempted to arrange a meeting with Daniels through his close friend, the former N.B.A. player Dennis Rodman, “but, when Dennis said that he didn’t know Stormy, Kim was, like, ‘Oh, well, I guess I’ll have to go through Trump, then.’ ”

Kim reportedly is prepared to use whatever leverage is necessary to force Trump to broker the meeting with the erstwhile porn performer. “If Kim doesn’t get to meet Stormy, the missile tests resume,” the confidant said.

When told about Kim’s real reason for offering to meet with Trump, a White House aide initially expressed shock, but then added, “Now everything makes sense.”

Five Days After Trump Lawyer Paid Adult Film Star $130,000, Trump Org Billed Trump Campaign $129,999.72

The seemingly strange coincidence is raising flags amid questions of Trump's possible involvement in the payout.

Five days after a lawyer for Donald Trump’s lawyer paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels allegedly in exchange for her silence about a year-long affair with Trump, the company owned by Donald Trump billed his campaign a series of transactions that added up to exactly $129,999.72 — just 28 cents short of the payment made to Daniels...

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Furious about her treatment on the CBS news-magazine program on Sunday night, Betsy DeVos spoke to reporters on Monday, and called “60 Minutes” a “total waste of a half hour.”

“I had never watched ‘60 Minutes’ before, but I can tell you this, I will never watch it again,” the Education Secretary said. “I have better things to do with a half hour of my time.”

Calling her interviewer, Lesley Stahl, a practitioner of “gotcha journalism at its worst,” DeVos said that it was “very unfair of her to ask me so many questions about education.”

“She asked me one thing about schools, and then another, and another,” she said. “If I had to answer every question she had about schools, I would have had to bone up on education for a month.”

DeVos said that she was “frustrated” that Stahl neglected to ask her about any of her “really good ideas” for the nation’s schools, such as “purchasing guns for teachers with money that is currently being wasted on books.”

“If a bear comes into your classroom, throwing a book at him will only stun him momentarily, at best,” DeVos said.

Yes, that's it.

The thing is, however, under the new Trumpian system, the whole world now operates that way. The line separating satire and reality has vanished. Everything is always both and neither, because everything means only whatever you want it to mean at that moment, and then means something entirely different whenever it is convenient for it to do so.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a freewheeling conversation with reporters after his departure from the State Department on Tuesday, Rex Tillerson said that he “really hopes” that Donald Trump finds out that he is being impeached on Twitter.

“I mean, the way I see it playing out, he’s up at 3 A.M., starting a new feud with Oprah or someone, and that’s when he finds out,” Tillerson said. “My only regret is that I won’t be there to see it.”

Tillerson started laughing in what some witnesses described as a demonic manner as he imagined Trump learning of his impeachment on Twitter.

“I mean, you have to picture him with his BlackBerry in his itty-bitty hands, and that’s how he finds out,” Tillerson cackled. “It would serve the bastard right.”

Composing himself, Tillerson added, “Let me make something clear. I’ve done well for myself. I’ve lived a full life and, by any measure, a successful one. But, if there’s one last thing I have on my bucket list, it’s that Donald Trump finds out he’s being shitcanned on Twitter. I mean, you want to talk about sweet.”

Someone here at the Tegucigalpa airport read that Borowitz article out loud not five minutes before I signed on to High-Street, to a round of laughing and applause.

Punishing the victims and cracking down on the suppliers

Some states already charge drug dealers with murder if customers overdose. In Florida, people who provide cocaine, heroin or the powerful opioid fentanyl to a person who dies from using the drug in question can be charged with first-degree murder and sentenced to either life in prison or death.

Well, unless that person is a Doctor being paid by the manufacturer to write a prescription...

One less thing that Trump can brag about.  Now he just needs to find somebody to blame it on.  Hmmmmm, who over at Treasury is ready for the next step in their professional future?

Which is completely against Nevada Gaming Commission law specifically put into place to prevent such unauthorized "loans" like this which is why the Trumpster in no longer welcome in Vegas.

He's also dead wrong about Amazon.  The USPS is actually making money on packages.

First-class mail, the USPS’ biggest source of revenue, also continued to shrink, seeing a $1.87 billion revenue loss in fiscal year 2017.

Package delivery, however, was one of the few bright spots in its latest financial statement. In 2017, parcels brought in $19.5 billion, or 28 percent of USPS’ annual revenue. At $2.1 billion, packages contributed the largest revenue increase.

">And this is how amateur it gets with him.

Just flat out bad manners to take questions about in-house affairs when holding a press conference with foreign leaders.

**OK - I ran out of patience when Trump started in the second time.**

    US attorney argues that any Michael Cohen communications about Stormy Daniels would not be protected by attorney-client privilege because Cohen's only known client — President Trump — stated on Air Force One that he knew nothing about payments to Stormy Daniels.
