Washington Post Calls for Hillary Clinton to Replace Kamala Harris: She Can ‘Keep the Country on Track’ If ‘Biden Needs to Step Down’ – slaynews.com
The Washington Post has called on Democrats to replace Vice President Kamala Harris on the party’s 2024 ticket with twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In a new article, the left-wing newspaper argues that Clinton would be best suited to “keep the country on track” in the likely event that Democrat President Joe Biden “needs to step down.”

DOD Funding Research on Fake Meat Rations to Improve Soldiers’ ‘Military Readiness’ – childrenshealthdefense.org
The DOD is partnering with a bioindustrial manufacturing to fund research exploring the development of “protein dense” rations like lab-grown meat for soldiers, in an effort to reduce the military’s carbon footprint and address climate change.
“…reduce the military’s carbon footprint”. What a load! Hey, dickheads, what about the carbon footprint your bombs and weapons are, and have been leaving in Ukraine and Gaza?
And finally…
Have you heard of the word “kidult”?
This partly explains why we’re in the state we’re in. The rest of the explanation of why we are where we are is that people are simply total loons.
Grown-Ups Surpass Preschoolers As The Biggest Toy Consumers, As Children Are Playing Less With Them As ‘Kidults’ Keep Buying – via winepressnews.com
“The primary consumer is always going to be children. But we are finding that the adult market is flexing its muscle and has reached that tipping point.”
The following report is by The New York Post:
Jay Glatfelter spends about $4,800 a year on toys – $2,400 for himself and $2,400 combined on his six- and 10-year-old sons’ birthday and Christmas presents.
The 39-year-old tech sales rep, who moonlights as a toy influencer under the moniker Geek.Dad.Life, is among a booming group of grown-ups who are shelling out big bucks to collect action figures, trading cards and Lego sets that harken back to their youth in the 1980s and 1990s.
Their love of all things Star Wars, Marvel, Ghostbusters and Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles is a bright patch in an otherwise bleak outlook for the toy industry.
For the first time ever, toy demand from preschoolers was surpassed by demand from toy enthusiasts over the age of 18, with the latter accounting for $1.5 billion in sales from January to April, according to data from Circana. (full article)
A interesting comment on the NYP article:
“The infantilization of our culture. Earlier today, I read about how almost every book on The NY Times bestseller list is either self help or children’s books. Everything at the movies is children’s fare…cartoons, superheroes, Star Wars, reboots of children’s shows or toys from the 90s. Everyone I see at the supermarket is wearing t-shirts with superheroes or cartoon babies on them. Adult coloring books. YA novels for adults.”
