Republican­s competing to be the most moronic

-

TEXAS Senator Ted Cruz and new congresswo­man Marjorie Taylor Greene are vying for most moronic US politician of the year and we are only in February.

The Sandy Hook denier placed a sign outside her office mocking Democrat Marie Newman. Marie, whose daughter is transgende­r, had hung a pride flag next to her door across the hall in protest over Greene’s opposition to an LGBTQ rights bill.

In response, the repulsive Republican posted a large sign outside her door reading: “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. Trust The Science.”

Trust the science? This from a woman who believes Jewish space lasers caused wildfires. Cruz was criticised after leaving Texans facing blackouts and freezing temperatur­es to take his family to Mexico.

Arkansas detectives didn’t need to play Guess Who? when investigat­ing a local shooting – the suspects were Stacy Abram, Stacy Abram, Stacy Abram and Stacy Abram. The four men, three of whom have now been nabbed, all share the same name.

“It makes quite a bit confusing,” said Todd Grooms, the chief investigat­or with the Crittenden County Sheriff’s Department. Stacy Orlando Abram, 27, Stacy Shunta Abram, 31 and Stacy Abram Jr, 68, have all been charged in connection yet police are still searching for Stacy Malcolm Abram.

Scholars swotting up in the University of Michigan library had to be turfed out when three venomous spiders turned up in a basement storage area.

America may have got to Mars but it was British ingenuity that saw the Perseveran­ce Rover touch down safely on the Red Planet.

Now it’s emerged the supersonic parachute made in Tiverton, Devon, contained a secret message when it deployed. Systems engineer Ian Clark used a binary code to spell out “Dare Mighty Things” in the orange and white strips of the 70ft canopy.

The oldest resident of her New Jersey nursing home, Lucia DeClerck, tested positive for coronaviru­s on her 105th birthday, one day after her second vaccine shot.

Asked for her secret to defeating Covid she put it all down to the gin-soaked golden raisins she has each morning.

A former Miami lawyer whose trousers caught on fire during a 2017 arson trial has been charged with cocaine possession, authoritie­s said.

Stephen Gutierrez, 32, was pulled over last week. After noticing a bulge in his pocket during a routine traffic stop police found a bag of white powder inside. “That’s cocaine,” he allegedly blurted out.

P.S.

It’s not even March and it’s safe to say my barman Richard’s 2021 diet has already hit the buffers. This week his wife looked at him and said: “Dieting? You just had three doughnuts.” He replied: “I wanted four. See, dieting.”
