Oh My MY

People, people, people. Is the earth spinning too quickly for you? Are you all dizzy? Is that the problem? Every day I become more convinced that only two things in life are true. I am stunningly beautiful and you are completely nuts! Let's start in Washington, the home base of the National Crazy Train.
Six months ago our President touted Yemen as a success story; a shinning example of American diplomacy in action. Now, with Yemen in total chaos, one would think the White House would walk that statement back. Nope. Yesterday, when an ABC reporter asked White House spokesman Josh Earnest if they still considered Yemen a success story, Earnest replied, "A successful counter-terrorism strategy is one that will build up the capacity of the central government...". "That is a template that has succeeded in mitigating the threat in Yemen and Somalia". What? Build up the central government? Doesn't Yemen's President fleeing the country in the middle of the night kind of end the central government? Earnest went on to say that the White House was still communicating with the Yemeni government. Which government would that be? My Friends, these people are so divorced from reality, reality should be paying them alimony!
Let's move on to school news. An elementary school in Tennessee threatened to suspend a 7-year old student because they deemed his "high and tight" military style haircut to be a distraction. School policy prohibits any "mohawk or extreme cuts". You be the judge:

The boy, Adam Stinnet, wanted to honor his soldier step-brother with the cut. His mother was told he would have to change the haircut or he wouldn't be allowed back in school. She shaved his head. The irony here is that the school, Bobby Ray Memorial Elementary School, is named after a Medal of Honor winner who was killed in Vietnam. The school's gym bears the name of Spc. Jeremy L. Brown, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010. So, apparently, they support the military, just not their hairstyle.
Finally, a pro-Hillary Clinton group called HRC Super Volunteers, sent a letter to about 150 media outlets warning them against spreading "any form of sexist news coverage" regarding the former Secretary of State. The group warned that they would be "watching, listening and protesting coded sexism". They were even kind enough to supply a list of "sexist" references. Are you ready?

• Polarizing
• Calculating
• Disingenuous
• Insincere
• Ambitious
• Inevitable
• Entitled
• Over confident
• Secretive
• Will do anything to win
• Represents the past
• Out of touch

Okay, call me crazy, but that reads more like a Hillary Thesaurus than a list of sexist terms! What will they think of next? Enjoy the weekend!
