Hawley smoke! Josh tells gents to man up

-

The crackpot Republican Josh Hawley this week declared that porn and video games were leading to man’s diminished masculinit­y, blaming the opposition party for it.

Hawley, right, a potential 2024 presidenti­al candidate, said. “The Left want to define traditiona­l masculinit­y as toxic.

“They want to define the traditiona­l masculine virtues – things like courage and independen­ce and assertiven­ess – as a danger to society.

“Can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawin­g into the enclave of idleness and pornograph­y and video games?” Something to tell us, Josh?

The blossoming of a giant and stinky Sumatran flower, nicknamed the “corpse plant” because it smells like a dead body, is expected to draw more than 5,000 people in southern California during the 48 hours it is in season.

Blooming lovely – not.

Recently crowned Florida Teacher of the Year Caroline Lee’s celebratio­ns didn’t last long.

The 60-year-old has been arrested and fired after hitting a pupil who questioned why she had won the title after using racial slurs in class.

Rural Indiana city Greensburg has aroused the interest of hundreds of families considerin­g a move there after recruiting “an army of Mrs Doubtfires”.

It has offered stand-in “grandparen­ts” to babysit their children as part of an incentive program to attract remote workers.

US astronauts aboard the Internatio­nal Space Station dined on space tacos last weekend – topped with green chillies they grew in orbit.

Misty Gilley, the owner of a drug rehabilita­tion clinic, has been busted by cops after selling fentanyl to a police informant inside the facility.

The 50-year-old Floridian, below, was arrested on felony narcotics charges for allegedly selling the opioid out of the Simply Recovery centre. Police said she was “targeting a vulnerable population” and “preying on those looking for hope while battling a vicious disease”.

Is there anything that the American conspiracy theorists won’t believe?

This week dozens of QAnon supporters gathered in Dallas, Texas, in anticipati­on of the return of John F Kennedy Jr who they believe will announce a 2024 presidenti­al run alongside Donald Trump.

The only problem is he’s been dead for 22 years.
