Caught My Eye…

It’s Friday! Here are the topics for today’s column:

  • Anti-Psychopath PAC
  • MAGA Attacks
  • The Fact-Check Correction
  • Boneless Chicken Wings

ANTI-PSYCHOPATH PAC:

There’s a new Political Action Committee (PAC) that aims to show that former President Donald Trump is not mentally fit to be President.

The Hill reports that Conservative pundit George Conway’s PAC released a campaign ad targeting former President Trump over his speaking gaffes.  The Anti-Psychopath PAC’s newest campaign is a TV ad featuring Conway saying, “Donald Trump has never, ever been right in the head,” before playing clips of the former president’s previous comments.

You can view the first campaign ad HERE. You can visit the website HERE. Enjoy!

MAGA ATTACKS:

The MAGA crowd is spreading a lot of fake information about Vice President Kamala Harris. You don’t need a computer science degree to search for the facts about photos and articles before you repost. But since the MAGAs don’t care for the truth, we can count on these tactics from now until November.

One of the latest attacks is photos of Harris with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. They are fake. One of the photos was originally of Harris and her husband. Someone photoshopped Epstein’s photo over Harris’ husband.

You can read about the fake news HERE and HERE.

THE FACT-CHECK CORRECTION:

I happened to see a fact-check post from the Associated Press (AP) with the headline, “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.”

That caught my attention.

The Daily Beast reported:

The Associated Press has taken down a “fact-check” story with the headline “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.” “The story, which did not go out on the wire to our customers, didn’t go through our standard editing process. We are looking into how that happened,” the outlet wrote in a statement to Mediaite.

Snopes is reporting that the issue first came up on July 15, 2024, X user @rickrudescalves posted (archived) that Republican U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio wrote in his 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis,” about thrusting his penis into “an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions.”

This rumor was false. Vance’s memoir contained no such passage.

The post on X was seen more than 1.8 million times.

BONELESS CHICKEN WINGS:

Here at The Western Word, I strive to bring you the best stories!

The Associated Press (AP) is reporting that consumers cannot expect boneless chicken wings to actually be free of bones, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Thursday, rejecting claims by a restaurant patron who suffered serious medical complications from getting a bone stuck in his throat.

The AP says that a man named Michael Berkheimer was dining with his wife and friends at a wing joint in Hamilton, Ohio, and had ordered the usual — boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce — when he felt a bite-size piece of meat go down the wrong way. Three days later, feverish and unable to keep food down, Berkeimer went to the emergency room, where a doctor discovered a long, thin bone that had torn his esophagus and caused an infection.

According to the AP, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled 4-3 saying that “boneless wings” refers to a cooking style, and that Berkheimer should’ve been on guard against bones since it’s common knowledge that chickens have bones. 

I like bone-in wings, in case you were wondering.

  2. Wow. Dump him, donny! In a fight between a hillbilly loser with no charisma, no looks, no sex appeal, no fan base, and no outstanding record of achievement, who the hell do you THINK is gonna win this fight! Vance really is a mini trump on steroids. He believes his MAGA creds, such as they are, are super powers! He’s about to learn another lesson the hard way. He really is much stupider than I thought. His hillbilly determination does NOT serve him well when he’s in a hole and doesn’t know when to stop digging! If he tries to implementing his policy positions with that same bullheadedness, he’ll be a one one man christofascist army! And guaranteed defeat!

  5. Well, if you brag yourself up long enough about being a backwoods hillbilly raised in a dysfunctional family with addiction problems, gettin’ intimate with the furniture doesn’t seem the least bit beyond the realm of possibility, especially in such a truthful book. Hence, the story didn’t even arouse the suspicions of the editors!

    But they probably should have looked for a second source before presenting to the world the image of the second most powerful man in the world takings liberties with a couch. They maybe thought that was actually an improvement over having an honest to God sex offender and felon in the White House! Grabbing by the cushion is better than grabbing by their lady parts!

    What Vance lacks in charisma he more than makes up for in comedic potential. He’s a walking satire magnet! Hard to take anybody who apologizes and covers for trump seriously. They become the joke. Our Montana MAGAs are stupid enough to do it, but they’re not running to be VP. It’s gonna be interesting.

    • Trump picked Vance because Vance was the only one of the finalists who is more cartoonish than Trump, and would absorb a good deal of the fire. Makes Trump look good by comparison. Kinda like AIDS looks good in comparison to cancer. Guys like Burgham, far too competent and statesmanlike. Trump would still have been the barking clown of the duo.
