That's exactly it.


i will say this....the 15 minutes of fame for this issue has expired. Anyone notice that there are ZERO headlines about Gaza now?

Now we're back to same ol', same ol'.

That’s right. Gaza has now been supplanted by the big story of the day: Republicans wearing bandages on their ears at the convention.

Trump was wearing one big bandage for what was a flesh wound. The objective was quite clear, make his wound look more serious than it was.

... not much more than a shaving cut.

When I was in my twenties I was home alone and cutting my hair - trimming it. Accidentally cut my ear lobe, never seen so much blood. No pain. Didn't need stiches or anything, just stuck the two pieces together, held them in place with my fingers, they adhered to each other in ten minutes. It healed in a few days.

Of course Trump and his cult are making more of the wound then is warranted. He was lucky, not warrior or god like.

Well the students haven't gone back to college yet. I'm sure they'll pick up right where they left off.

.... the kids are still in the streets, all over the western world. Just not getting the coverage by the press. Stories now on the back page and single column, small print. There is not as much interest by the readers.

I didn’t enter the competition, but thought I would try out the downhill course. Big mistake. The course was on a narrow trail I shouldn’t have been on due to my limited intermediate skiing skills. Lost control and headed into the trees.

Back then I had no appreciation for how potentially serious the situation was. As I was about to hit a tree, instinct took over and I pivoted my head at the last second. Wasn’t able to turn my body which hit the tree. I got the wind knocked out of me like I never had before or since. The side of my head grazed the tree and my ear took the brunt of it. Tore the crap out of my ear.

I got patched up at the school Infirmary (which fortuitously for me was located at the bottom of the ski hill) and sent on my way. Forget if I got stitches or not. Forget how much the ear bled.

The only good thing that came out of it was one of the cutest girls in my dorm actually talked to me and wanted to know what happened. It was the one and only time she spoke to me that year.

Anyway, I still have a scar on my ear, but the injury was not very serious all things considered.

At some point after I graduated, the school closed the ski hill. Not due to me, but probably because of other idiots like me.

I’ve had a lot of skin cancer surgeries, but none to my ear. Yet. Know lots of people who have, however. All seem to be more serious than Trump’s injury.

Trump was lucky. I was lucky. Maybe I am the chosen one also.

Your ear lobe has no cartilage, now you all are plastic surgeons, among everything else.

For instance....my father recently had to have part of his ear removed (helix and some of the antihelix) from skin cancer, had to wear a large bandage for quite some time.

This kind of thing is pretty much par for the course for Owens, who parted ways with the conservative Daily Wire in March over her increasingly overt antisemitism.

Owens is proof that life exists on planets other than earth. Because that's where she is.

You do realize that was not a public statement. Vance said that in a private text to his law school roommate during the 2016 campaign.
The roommate leaked it & went on to be a (D) GA state senator. Vance admitted he was wrong. Something you're unable to do regarding Biden's "condition".
