Ever hear of zombie wasps?

Hadn't thought about them since my microbiology days until I saw Ron Desantis. Is it possible that there's a swarm of zombie wasps going around making republicans mindlessly do Trump's bidding? Is that too foo far fetched to even contemplate? If it is then how else can you explain his wanting to send children to school during the middle of a pandemic with the numbers in his state going through the roof?

March 6th - “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

Is it just me

Or is Morning Joe having a bit of revisionist history regarding Hillary? They ripped her apart every day about emails and they and their guests like Eddie Glaude are as responsible for Trump as the idiots who voted for him.

About Bloomberg and the prison inmates in Oklahoma making calls on behalf of his campaign

I don't have a link just heard it on MSNBC. I don't know all the details but from what I've heard, I don't think it's his fault. The fault lies with the contractor he hired to perform the service, but it's clearly a bad look. Whoever the contractor was he/she had to have some connections to the prison.

I have a question that has me stumped

I was writing and I came across a little problem that I can't quite find the answer to so I'm looking for help here. Question: If some men singers are considered crooners, are some women singers considered crooners too? Or is there another name to give a woman singer of that same caliber that would be synonymous to being called a crooner? I don't have a clue.

I didn't write this but I wish I had

Some guy named Charlie on yahoo news posted it, but I don't think I've ever heard more truer words. "As long as the right can be scared in to thinking that Dems want to take away their guns, Gays want to convert their children, LGBT want to molest them in bathrooms, they will never learn. Trump has built a wall around their brains - no intelligent thought can enter and no stupid thought can leave."
