Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten are going to be dads. "For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family," the U.S. secretary of transportation posted Tuesday on Twitter. "We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve become parents! The process isn’t done yet and we’re thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us. We can’t wait to share more soon." Chasten Buttigieg quote-tweeted the post with a quick Twitter aphorism, "Some news!"

This is a trophy baby for a gay couple. I think they'll find that caring for a living helpless thing is a LOT of selfless work...which is going to provoke a lot of friction for a pair of narcissists like them. Maybe they'll find they've bitten off more than they can chew. Uh, poor choice of words!

Like I say with Harty and Megan; if you want your privacy, stop announcing your private life on social media and to the news media. Also, who will be the lactating human (or whatever the PC term is for the gay male wife) who supposedly will breast feed the baby? Will Pete or Chastened need the nursing bra?

Work had begun in May to drill down hundreds of feet to stabilize the 58-story Millennium Tower. But engineers suspended the operation last week to assess why the building had sunk another inch during construction, NBC Bay Area News reported. The tower, which opened in 2009, had been tilting slightly more than 17 inches at the top at the time work began and sinking had slowed. But by mid-August, the building's

At this time last year, the Wuhan coronavirus was claiming around 1,000 American lives per day. It seemed to me that, absent a sudden and sharp decline in that number, Joe Biden would be our next president. It must have seemed that way to Biden and his top advisers, as well. During presidential debates that occurred a little less than a year ago, Biden ripped Trump for his handling of the pandemic. The death count was the centerpiece of this attack. So what’s the daily death count now, more than seven months into the Biden administration and with a majority of Americans vaccinated?

Indeed, they are nothing more than destroyers, power-mad ideologues who use a demented old grifter as a mouthpiece while they dismantle, piece by piece, our once great Republic.

Nancy Sinatra told Midler on Twitter that, “My dad actually suggested that decades ago.” One commenter told Midler, “Did you know you’re my Shero?” Actress Rosanna Arquette, however, was not so upbeat about Midler’s not so modest proposal.
