This is going to be a shell of a story. A member of Oregon’s Health Authority (OHA), an advisory board that deals with mental health policy, identified as a turtle during a recent state panel meeting. J.D. Holt, who also goes by “J.D. Terrapin” on Facebook, opened her remarks by saying, “Hello everybody, it's JD. I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns. I'm in the Springfield-Eugene area and I get to be part of the council.” No seriously, I’m not making that up. It really happened. See? It’s on video. The council was appointed by OHA Director Sejal Hathi and was created to consult with Oregon’s government on mental health policies,

Sometimes I identify as a turtle or rabbit. Other times, it could be a giraffe or rainbow trout. Maybe I should start a "giraffegender" podcast and let the callers decide who will I be today. Then again, sometimes I feel like a nut sometimes I don't. Council assignment in Oregon here I come! Baa Baa.

Dendrotoxin is where it's at! Hazy is wearing a black mamba tee shirt. All four species of African mamba (black, Easterrn green, Western Green, Jameson's) have fast acting venom that can be fatal within twenty to thirty minutes. But Hazy, although he respects these serpents, doesn't identify as an elapid. He's more like Ike, who when called a communist by a left wing crank was defended by Russell Kirk, who said, "Ike is not a communist. He's a golfer." That's what I identify as, even though I no longer play. I am still a professional. The only thing communist about me is that I hate peanut butter. My late best friend, who loved peanut butter, said I was a red communist because that stuff makes me puke. OK. I'm a red communist. We all have to be something in order to be somebody.

Poor Hunter Biden. First, his meal ticket father leaves office and disappears from public view (for which blessing many of us are breathing a sigh of relief), then his California house burns up, along with a bunch of his "priceless" art. The guy just can't catch a break. On Saturday, we learned that Hunter's woes are worsening. He was facing an uncomfortable deposition in California, but a kindly judge allowed that case to be dismissed as Hunter's too broke to continue. So now the poverty-stricken former First Son has jetted off to Cape Town, South Africa, accompanied by his Secret Service retinue, to suffer from his poverty

A deranged, anti-Elon Musk dad scrawled a swastika on the side of a Cybertruck in Brooklyn in a brazen attack committed right in front of The Post. The lefty loon was so triggered by the $80,000 electric Tesla truck parked on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights that he double-parked his Subaru – with two car seats in the back – burst out, and defaced the car. The Cybertruck’s owner Avi Ben Hamo, who is Jewish, was stunned. “I feel myself burning inside,” Ben Hamo said. Back in his Subaru, the hateful vandal tried to speed off — but Ben Hamo, who watched the attack from the sidewalk across the street,

A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device. A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons. A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,

The first person arrested under Florida’s new immigration law is in the Brevard County jail. The state Board of Immigration Enforcement posted on X last night that Felipe Hernandez-Chavarin was arrested for trespassing and for re-entering the United States illegally. An arrest report says a Fish and Wildlife officer saw Hernandez-Chavarin enter a locked gate with a ‘no trespassing’ sign next to it at Willowbrook Farms in Palm Bay on Tuesday. The officer said Hernandez-Chavarin was there to catch fish with a net in the farm’s canals. Once at the jail, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he had also been deported from the U.S. in 2019, so the illegal re-entry charge was added.

If failed vice-presidential candidate and current Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) made his intention to run in 2028 any clearer, it'd require him to rip his shirt off and paint it on his chest. He's clearly working toward a presidential run after faceplanting with Kamala Harris, and his strategy appears to be shouting and screaming his way to the nomination. I'm less than convinced that will pay off for him, but here we go. America's finger-wagger-in-chief is on the case of Department of Education cuts, and he's furious at President Donald Trump about it.

We know about the liberal media cover-up regarding Joe Biden’s mental health. It wasn’t a mid-way through his term crisis either. On day one, his staff noticed he was losing his marbles and did whatever they could to hide this from the public. Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps. Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access.

One of President Donald Trump’s first actions upon entering the White House was to order federal employees to return to the office. The government workforce, he has repeatedly contended, could not be productive from home. “I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump said on Feb. 11. “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re going to play tennis, they’re going to play golf.

A court ordered Starbucks on Friday to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by spilled beverages, CNN reported. The jury in California sided with Michael Garcia, who was picking up drinks in a drive-through in Los Angeles when he was handed beverages with improperly secured lids. According to the lawsuit filed in the California Superior Court in 2020, he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” on his lap. The lawsuit ultimately accused the coffee chain of breaching its duty of care by not securing the lids, according to the report.

Why did the State Department (taxpayers) pay for Hillary Clinton’s 5-star hotel room and rental vehicles in France in 2024? Hillary Clinton traveled to Bordeaux, France, on February 23, 2024 and the American taxpayer paid for her lavish retreat. Clinton reportedly traveled to Bordeaux to promote climate change garbage at the World Impact Summit to benefit the Clinton Foundation. The twice-failed presidential hopeful stayed at the 5-star Mondrian Hotel (a Clinton favorite). The total cost for the luxury hotel ($16,759.18) and transportation ($22,570.19) set taxpayers back $39,329.37.

There are almost 700 federal district court judges. I say “almost,” because while officially there are 677 of them, some retired judges have taken senior status and may sit from time to time on cases, so the figure is inexact on any given day. Since President Trump was sworn in for a second term, there have been an avalanche of cases seeking relief from executive actions. Last month alone district court judges issued 15 temporary restraining orders. “That’s more nationwide injunctions than there were issued for the first three YEARS of the Biden Administration. District court judges are out of control.“

Clinton-appointed Judge Richard Young has ordered the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to provide sex change surgery for a “transgender” inmate who murdered a baby. The inmate, Jonathan Richardson, who now goes by “Autumn Cordellioné,” is in prison for the reckless homicide of a baby. Richardson was convicted in 2001 for strangling his then-wife’s 11-month-old daughter to death. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections seeking a sex change on behalf of Richardson in 2023, three years after the baby-killer decided to begin identifying as a woman. Currently, there is a law in Indiana banning taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for inmates.
