No, DFW Airport Is Not Sending Dan Patrick Photos of Your Genitals

Posters detailing an Electronic Genital Verification pilot program were spotted at DFW Airport over the weekend.

As per this article:

"Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick does not want to see your genitals, despite the claims made on a sticker noticed by a jet-setting Redditor who made a pit stop in a Dallas Fort Worth International Airport bathroom stall over the weekend.

(Actually, we didn't send an inquiry to the lieutenant governor's office, since those people never talk to us, so maybe he does want to see your genitals. Probably not, but we can't say for certain.)"

It's worth looking at this article and clicking on its embedded sticker noticed by a jet-setting Redditor link. This is truly impressive Expert Level Trolling.

The writer of this long article offers an explanation for the TSS's behavior that would have never crossed my mind. So, if you have an interest in 'Merican politics and human behavior, or in 'Merican politics and the TSS's and USCEO's behavior, you may not regret having taken the time to read this:

Why the "President Elon Musk" mockery doesn't seem to bother Donald Trump

As per this article:

"Trump ... : It's way more fun to be the facsimile than the real thing. He barely showed up at the office in his first term, and clearly hated every minute of actual work. Whether they've explicitly discussed it or not, it appears he and Musk have a deal: One will do the annoying dirty work of illegally smashing up the federal bureaucracy, while the other pretends to be a president for the cameras and fanfare. Trump gets to sign papers and get his picture taken. He gets to do fun reality-TV villain stuff, like threatening tariffs but mostly not enacting them, because that would create consequences he doesn't want to deal with. As with being a fake businessman on "The Apprentice," being a fake president is much better than the real thing. He gets all the ego-fluffing and attention, while not having to think about stuff, much less do any work."

Now, while I'm not willing to abandon my super simple FOLLOW THE MONEY theory yet, I'm not going to dismiss this writer's alternate theory out of hand, as she appears to have put some serious thought into it.

GigSlave Goes Public With $84 Billion Valuation

I'm appalled that ... that this appears to be such a great investment opportunity. So much so, in fact, that I'm seriously considering acquiring a few hundred shares of GigSlave myself. Now, I had been hoarding cash in expectation of exploiting the next stock market crash. But, this looks to me like an opportunity that's just too good to pass up, in spite of my longtime, proven investment strategy.

To me, this guy is a poser of no importance to anyone but himself. But, he did make me smile this afternoon when I read this:

Kid Rock cuts Nashville performance short, storms off stage after audience won't clap

So, maybe his next appearance will be with that other has-been,Ted Nugent. That professional asshole's "bankability" is so low he's probably not even be on the D List anymore. After all, he didn't perform at the TSS's 2025 inauguration festivities.

Anyway, as an added bonus, the article made me smile a second time in remembrance of the 15 minutes of fame I had almost secured back in the day, when I told family and friends I occasionally had lunch with one of Bon Jovi's uncles. In truth, my fame didn't even last an entire 15 minutes after I told them, "No, I'm not going to impose on the guy by asking him to get his nephew's autograph for you." And, such I learned is the fleeting nature of fame.

But at this point he will end up uniting all Muslim countries in solidarity with the nation of Palestine against Israel and the USA

I am just laughing at the Tumblr-esque inability to tell bad from worse.

This country deserves what is happening to it, because stupidity is the only crime that is recognized by the sidereal universe itself.

Speaking about that, you see Musk's thing on USAID?

Food and medical aid to Gaza is now zero (0) dollars.

How'd that protest work out, Sparky?   :lulz:

I live in a solidly blue state, my 3rd party vote for president made no difference in the result, WA's electoral votes still went to Harris, my down ballot votes were all Dem, and may have made a difference since my county is a little more conservative than normal for the state.  What Trump is doing to Gaza is what Harris would have done to Gaza, he's just bragging about it.
I don't disagree with this, American policy in the middle east is to build a homogeneous western values (watches friends reruns and porn) nation with Israel, the key difference is the time frame, ironically trumps approach is more likely to cause world war 3 then the subversive slow approach allowed over the last couple of years.
I am glad that trump is bad at it

Yeah, at least Trump only shut off all USAID food supplies to Gaza.

Someone else might have done something BAD.   :lulz:

Please provide a link to a quotation from Ken Martin about these "good billionaires," if it is your intention to initiate a discussion about his speech.


I'm having trouble finding the full speech, but here's the quote in question.

https://packaged-media.redd.it/8o1em3pntkge1/pb/m2-res_478p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1739224800&s=c88947d5dd1244eb1e1aaa500d5554a82e51932f

Thanks for posting the link.

Now then, as I am not anyone's stenographer, I'm paraphrasing when I write that I heard Ken Martin publicly say that there are good billionaires out there who share the Democratic Party's values, and the party is willing to accept their money.

I, personally, have no reason to not accept Ken Martin's statement at face value. For what it's worth, I am not a member of the Democratic Party. Therefore, "I have no skin in the game."
