Biden blames Elton John for spending $6B on HIV and AIDS



President Biden is often the butt of jokes about the gaffes he constantly makes when sounds leave his face hole. In fact, it's hard to find anything he says that doesn't have a gaffe or an incomprehensible neologism in its content. Even though I dislike the man, I would like our President to not sound like an Alzheimer patient.

On Friday night, the President of the United States of America babbled to an audience at the White House after pop music icon Sir Elton John, performed. He apparently blamed Sir John for HIV and the AIDS epidemic and/or wasteful taxpayer spending it seemed. With mush-mouth Joe, it's anyone's guess what he's talking about when he speaks.

“By the way, it’s all his fault that we’re spending $6 billion in taxpayer money this month to help fight HIV/AIDS,” Biden said. Maybe he was giving John a compliment, maybe he's making a homophobic statement as the singer, as everyone knows, is gay.

It looked like John himself might have had to take a moment to process what he meant. Biden also accused Republicans of taking credit for "Bldhyindclapding," a secret thing only top Republicans know how to do.

The former newspaper known as The New York Times dissed Sir John, accusing him of being on an endless "farewell tour," and ran the story under the headline: “Elton John, a Favorite of Trump, Performs at the Biden White House.” Trump still lives rent-free in their head.

Biden presented John with the National Humanities Medal which “honors individuals or groups whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities and broadened our citizens’ engagement with history, literature, languages, philosophy, and other humanities subjects,” according to the National Endowment for the Humanities website.

That's on par with Barack Obama winning a Nobel Peace Prize with just a few weeks in office having done as much for peace as Elton John did for helping U.S. citizens engage with history, literature, languages, philosophy, and other humanities subjects.

Elton John vows to only sing gay songs if Hollywood criticizes a straight man playing a gay guy

Sir Elton John is a gay man. He is not hiding that fact nor should he. Some of my best friends are gay. Actually, that isn't true, but I have no problem being around gay men, lesbians, and others who believe they belong to the gender their biology refuses to agree with.

But Elton recently came to the defense of Taron Egerton, a straight actor who plays him in a forthcoming film "Rocketman."

Taron Egerton was chosen to play the musical icon despite being heterosexual, and many people are complaining that John should have been played by someone from the LGBT community, which is blatantly stupid. Actors "act," they play the part of someone who they are not.

John himself pushed back on such stupid criticism in an interview with Brain Flushings' Rick Shaw.

John, when asked about the criticism Egerton received, apparently waved his hand “dismissively” and told Shaw: “That’s all bulls***, I’m sorry but if the LGBTQRST freaking community have a problem with Taron playing my part, they can bite me before I ever sing another straight love song.”

If that makes sense to anyone, then John should never sing love songs of a heterosexual theme, and only sing gay love songs, none of which comes to mind.

“If people don’t like it, review-wise, or it doesn’t make one dollar, it’s the movie I wanted to make and that’s all that counts,” John added. Did I mention he is gay and he's okay with an actor who isn't gay play him? It's called "acting" or pretending.

“I can look back and say, ‘You know what, I love it. I can live with it.’”

John had praised the straight actor. “I was very emotional just now as well. The movie floored me. But I’m very high. Like the song I'm higher than a kite. But I have to say, Taron is beyond belief. It’s like watching me but without the heart-shaped shades. It’s quite extraordinary, he’s so me-like. He’s a megastar,” the famed gay singer said. “He was schooled by George Martin's son Giles and he’s done the most amazing job. I wanted it to be a movie where the actor sang — and he sings. Oh my G_d, he sings!"

The film takes a hard look into John’s rise to stardom and his battles with alcoholism, drugs, and gay sex addiction. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival Thursday night in France.

John told Rick Shaw that he wasn’t nervous about a film which highlighted some of the “deepest darkest moments” – Shaw's phrase – of his life.

In another interview, with Variety, a magazine mostly featuring white people of privilege, John said it was difficult to watch the parts of that film that dealt with his family life. There is little "variety" in Variety.

Bono: all ya need is love


All ya need is love and maybe a nice smile, a few kind words and you will disarm the terrorists who want to disarm you--by removing your arms and head.

And if you believe that, you pass the National Idiot's Test.

Bono (read: Bozo) of U2 rock band fame, was dining on the terrace of La Petite Maison restaurant along with other celebrities including Elton John. The restaurant is only a half mile from where the Nice seafront attack took place on Bastille Day.

Mohamed Lahouaie Bouhlel drove his 19 ton truck into the crowd in Nice killing 84 and wounding over 200 others.

Armed anti-terrorism cops "rescued" Bono and the other fabulously famous along with the mayor of Nice.

The following day, U2 tweeted, signed by all four band members including Bono: 
"Love is bigger than anything in its way."
Wow. How profound. All ya need is love.

Of course, Bono, et al, probably meant well--they didn't mean to sound like naive fools, but they did.

 It wasn't love that stopped that the jihadist who drove that truck into the crowd, it was the French police and their weapons that rescued them. Sure, the French police may have acted out of love of country and fellow man, but it was lead, not love, that stopped Bouhlel in his tire tracks.

But talking to liberals is like talking to the wall . . . or the Attorney General.
