Domestic tyranny tarted up as patriotic nationalism isn't the answer either.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it a “medical mystery of the first order,” scientists are baffled by the ability of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan to stand upright without the benefit of spines.

Doctors at the University of Minnesota Medical School, who have been studying the skeletal structures of both Republicans for months, believe that their ability to stand, walk, and even break into a brisk trot when confronted by reporters’ questions is “virtually inexplicable.”

“The fact that they can do these things without the aid of spines makes McConnell and Ryan anomalies in the animal kingdom,” said Dr. Davis Logsdon. “According to everything medical science teaches us, their bodies should be collapsing to the ground in two heaps.”

As the Minnesota scientists have struggled to solve the medical conundrum presented by the two invertebrate leaders, one theory that has gained traction is what Logsdon calls “the startled-deer hypothesis.”

“Just as a deer freezes in the headlights of a car and briefly appears statue-like, we believe that Ryan and McConnell’s bodies may retain their rigid structure out of terror alone,” he said. “In other words, fear is performing the function that a spine performs in other people.”

Calling it “just a theory,” Logsdon said that the anatomies of McConnell and Ryan require further study, and that there was growing public support for both men to be dissected.

Interesting times ahead, hope none this makes Cheetoface start a war.

Mr Redline Nut-and yahoo gonna tell him what to do.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he planned to push U.S. President Donald Trump to renew sanctions against Iran during a visit to Washington next month, complaining that Iran had once more tested a ballistic missile.
The build-up, which echoes moves in Crimea and Kaliningrad, has been noticed in Washington. U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis told his confirmation hearing this month it was "not to our advantage to leave any part of the world" to others.

Mattis, in a separate written submission, described Moscow's Arctic moves as "aggressive steps" and pledged to prioritize developing a U.S. strategy, according to Senator Dan Sullivan.

Vlad Pootin's got a new project
Under President Vladimir Putin, Moscow is rushing to re-open abandoned Soviet military, air and radar bases on remote Arctic islands and to build new ones, as it pushes ahead with a claim to almost half a million square miles of the Arctic.

Mr Alternate facts dismissing Iran distrust of Cheetoface.
Iran on Sunday carried out a test launch of a medium-range ballistic missile that exploded after 630 miles, a U.S. official said on Monday.
The White House said it was aware that Iran had tested a missile.
"We're looking into that. We're aware that Iran fired that missile. We're looking into the exact nature of it, and I'll try to have more for you later," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said during a press briefing.

We should show more concern for wayward British Trident missiles near Florida.

Hmmmm
Trump apparently is in need of some much-needed relaxation time, and good weather. Currently, temperatures in Washington D.C. sit around the upper 30’s, while Palm Beach is expected to have clear and sunny skies, with temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s.

President’s taking time off is nothing new – but this soon in his presidency? It’s almost unprecedented. What’s perhaps even more disturbing about the news is that Trump used to complain about President Obama taking time off to play golf – a favorite thing to do among past presidents. He also stated that he would

What’s perhaps even more disturbing about the news is that Trump used to complain about President Obama taking time off to play golf – a favorite thing to do among presidents. He also stated in the past that he would rarely, if ever, take vacation. That’s one campaign promise he’s already breaking. Not to mention a whole host of other ones.

Anyhow, I am somewhat confused. Why are they testing missiles near our shores. Florida is some distance from the UK.

They are probably scared, despite their treatment of the Trident whistleblower, who described the Trident as "a disaster waiting to happen".

I believe Trump should take up this issue with May.
