If I'm a man dressed like a woman, am I a woman?

Evidently, the United states Government

doesn't give a shit what you are...

The State Department will offer Americans seeking a passport

to use an "X" gender marker that is defined as "unspecified or another gender identity," Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on yesterday, and it wasn't an April Fools joke.

The State Department announced last June that passport applications would be allowed to select their gender as "M" or "F" without having to provide medical certification if that gender did not match their other documentation, which was the previous policy.

"Starting on April 11, U.S. citizens will be able to select an X

as their 'gender marker' on their U.S. passport application, and

the option will become available for other forms

of documentation next year," Blinken said.

The march towards absolute lunacy is going ahead at a ridiculously fast pace, isn't it?

Your lunch time Calvin for April 1st...

Flip-flop Fauci just proved to all of us what a jackass he is...

Chief White House jackass Dr. Anthony (Flip-flop) Fauci said during a televised interview with the BBC this week that he doesn't believe it can be known if the COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions were worth the unintended costs to people.

He finally admitted to all of us just how fuckin' stupid all of his advice to us was during the covid bullshit.

"I don't think we're ever going to be able to determine what the right balance is," Fauci said during an interview on the BBC's Sunday Morning television broadcast. "I think the restrictions, if you want to use that word, which I tend to shy away from, lockdowns, certainly prevented a lot of infections, prevented a some hospitalizations, and prevented a couple of deaths. There's no doubt about that."

He did say that the level of "restrictions on society" imposed during the two years of the pandemic led to "unintended, negative consequences," such as children not attending school and the psychological effects it could have on them, and the 'economic stress' that the restrictions placed on individual families and the national economy.

He did not mention anything about the tens of thousands

of family-owned and small businesses that were destroyed by the lockdowns and restrictions, because who the fuck would wanna be responsible for destroying people's lives and livelihoods,

right, ya fuckin' jerkoff?

I hope he drives off a cliff sometime next week.

April 1st was no joke for these guys.

God bless my Father's generation...

As we goof around on April Fool's Day, we should keep in our prayers and memories the many Americans (mostly young men and teens) who fought and sacrificed during this same time 77 years ago today in the Battle of Okinawa. It was the bloodiest battle and the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, the Navy’s Fifth Fleet under Admiral Raymond Spruance attacked the Japanese-held island. They were joined by a British, Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian naval task force and more than 180,000 Army soldiers and Marines. This was the final push toward invading mainland Japan and putting an end to the war.

Military planners considered the capture of Okinawa and its airfields to be a crucial and necessary precondition for the invasion of the Japanese mainland.

Were the U.S. to invade Japan, estimates of potential American casualties were upward of 1.7 to 4 million, with between 400,000 and 800,000 deaths. The Battle of Okinawa only served to raise those estimates, as had the recent brutal battle for Iwo Jima, where U.S. casualties numbered 26,000 over five weeks of fighting. Only a few hundred Japanese had been captured out of the 21,000 troops who fought to the death.

God Bless my Father's Generation and all who've served.

The NFL has an April Fools joke for you...

So much for gender bias, huh?

The NFL announced Monday that all 32 of its teams will be required to hire a minority assistant offensive coach for the 2022 season as part of its diversity efforts, ESPN.com reports.
According to the league's newly adopted policy, the coach can be "a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority." The policy was adopted by NFL owners at their annual meeting in Florida and will be funded by the league.
The coach is required to work closely with the offensive staff as part of the NFL's ongoing effort to increase the pool of minority candidates for head coaching jobs.

The New York Giants are well ahead of the ruling having

hired their first female pole-dancing coach.

Smurfing for Nazis...

Nearly-newly discovered photos show Nazi officers

in top-secret training facility...

German officers attend a very long and technical demonstration about 'smurfing' high explosives into peoples faces, prior to Operation Fall Blau, 1 April, 1939.

The Armoured Smurf Division was formed just before WWII as a neutral Peace keeping Unit (PKU). However, the peace mission ultimately came to nothing as the parties started to fight their quarrels over their heads.

Although the Smurf Division was only lightly armed with small high explosive packages and magic potions, they were never given the mandate to use any of these prior to WW2, let alone the 'Phony War'.

Moreover, the smurfs themselves had their hands full defending their own territory, which was repeatedly attacked by two fanatical invaders in particular.

The Germans in this photo, previously very interested in the giftwrapped presents, were not amused when these suddenly exploded in their faces. Luckily for them, no one was fatally injured.

In the background Americans are waiting their turn.

Biden issued an executive order banning April Fools Day.

President Joe Biden doesn't like April Fools Jokes because he was born in January, so he's taking harmonica lessons to make up for it...

Wayne Pankratz, an exec for American Franchise Capital, which owns a reported 50 Applebee’s locations across the Midwest, believes the restaurant could benefit from a number of factors, including inflation, the gas price spike, and lack of government aid, impacting the lives of everyday Americans.

“As inflation continues to climb and gas prices continue to go up, that means more hours employees will need to work to maintain their current level of living,” Pankratz wrote. “We are no longer competing with the government when it comes to hiring. Stimulus money is no more, supplemental unemployment is no more. This benefits us as prices rise, people who [were] relying on unemployment money, simply will have less money to spend. It will force people back into the work force.”

In turn, Pankratz believes Applebee’s could capitalize on this situation by offering less money to an anticipated influx of applicants, who are desperate to boost their earnings in the face of trying times and limited options due to competitors crumbling under the weight of increasing demands to compete with its rivals.

I had a girlfriend that stupid once...

...

Arizona's Democrat governor signed a bill on Wednesday requiring voters to prove their citizenship to vote in a presidential election, drawing fierce opposition from voting rights advocates who say it risks affecting some 200,000 people. The bill also requires anyone newly registering to vote to provide proof of their address.

The Legislature’s own lawyers say much of the measure is unconstitutional, directly contradicts a recent Supreme Court decision and is likely to be thrown out in court. Still, voting rights advocates worry the bill is an attempt to get back in front of the now more conservative Supreme Court.
