On the nose, and I think we'll see more pushback as the news gets out about what's been going on with mutilating young girls.  A figure I saw yesterday showed that at one hospital the average age of "patients" having "affirming" surgery was 18.  And 93% of the "patients" were girls.

I insist that the current "trans" phase marks the most intensive exercise in misogyny in modern history.  It is founded upon the violent hatred of women coming from a particular wing of the gay male community.  Any doctor who goes along with it should be imprisoned; any politician who supports it should be shot. And any parents who go along with it should receive the traditional punishment for infanticide - truss their legs and arms around a pole and throw them in the river to drown.

I can't find the article I saw last week on how University of Washington is not commenting on how a paper of theirs, much touted by the MSM, that claimed better mental health in "trans" youth treated by hormone blockers was thoroughly debunked.

“ a particular wing of the gay male community”

Is there a name for this? It rings a bell.

The entire interstate system took 35 years.

Two lanes less than 50 miles took 22 years.

And as I always like to remind people at times like this, the Empire State building took13 months, starting from scratch, using 1932 technology.

Commercial construction projects can move fairly quickly even today, although not necessarily those in densly populated cities, where there is not much room for equipment and supplies, and even less room to move around beams, etc.

Apple TV+ Announces New Show 'Clintons In Cars Killing Witnesses'

Apple has added an exciting new reality show to its streaming lineup which will follow the Clintons around as they murder anyone who might have dirt on them.

"Get in the car! We're going suiciding!" yelled Hillary Clinton to her daughter as the cameras began rolling. "You got the snacks, right? Faking a hanging always makes me hungry. Bodies are so heavy!"

----

At publishing time, reporters on the ground say that show producer Cory Gates and cameraman Jan Blagojevich sadly died when their car exploded from a faulty spark plug.
