    We have all heard Harris’ verbal blunder from one of the very few policy speeches she has made since her coronation. And it has been pretty much universally accepted that it was a simple verbal gaff. I too fell into that line of thinking…. But a new thought has crossed my mind. What if that wasn’t a verbal gaff at all but exactly what she intends to do? Price gouging is bad. We see it all the time after a natural disaster and pretty much all agree that price gouging is a morally corrupt thing to do….. But think about what “price gauging” would truly mean. Gauging anything is a process of stepping up. What if her intent is Spanish Americans pay this level. African Americans pay the next level all the way up to Caucasian Americans that of course would pay the highest level…… I know this sounds crazy but five years ago I would have told you that boys wanting to be girls was crazy…. What if her words were exactly what she meant to say?

    Any president introducing a policy like that would in short order be embarrassedly ground under the heels of the Supreme Court for such a move.

    I agree that I expect the most absurd things to come from the minds of Communala and Tampon Tim. Price "gauging" certainly wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities. But, in this case, I believe it was just a verbal gaffe on the part of a person who is known for verbal gaffes.

    Well, I really think it was a verbal gaff as well. But if you were at your teenagers school board meeting and a proposal came up to put tampons in the boys bathrooms….. Would your immediate thought not be, Is this April 1?…… The movement afoot undermines everything that America has stood for for two and one half centuries. I have determined in my mind that I am not taking anything for granted any longer. What is going on is morally corrupt and we are told to believe that honor and personal responsibility are no longer of value….. No sir. I don’t take anything these people utter for granted any longer.

    I see were continuing the conservative tradition here of making up scenarios in our heads and getting scared/mad at them.

    For the record, this is also made up

    Technically, you are right, but technically, yours is also a dodge.

    The liberal Minnesotan legislature deliberately declined to pass an amendment to the law so it would require providing menstrual products only in restrooms regularly used by “female students” but the proposed change failed to win enough support.

    Bathrooms that would be used by trans (which do not menstruate, by the way, and non-binary girls, which do), must provide feminine hygiene products.

    That is the my conclusion after reading the amendment and the subsequent rejection.

    I’ll take you at your word. I don’t know the websites that confirm or deny this insanity….. But there is no denying that Walz made Minnesota a sanctuary state for youth to flee to for genital mutilation. Walz did in fact say that socialism is neighborliness…. I’ll leave it at this….. I have no doubt that one day the left will accomplish its goal of dominating every choice you have as a free American. The Fed will control pharmaceuticals, medical institutions, the automotive industry and will effectively crumble capitalism….. I won’t be around to see that day though you may. Just remember when that time comes. It is what you wanted.

    I offer a correction to that final statement, MD . . . It is what he thought he wanted.

    We’ll not likely be around to see their “chickens come home to roost”, if we’re lucky.
