It's only a little illegal to stage a protest in the Capitol when Linda Sarsour does it. That's the lead crazy on today's Insanity Wrap, an entire week's worth of the best bad news.
- Don't watch even one second of this video.
- I know the real reason Democrats are trying to keep Trump off the ballot.
- Christmas is the time for... penis fractures?
Before we get to today's big story, here's a short video to make you lose whatever little faith you might still have in humanity.
How Long Can You Stand to Watch?
It's a first in this week's "How Long Can You Stand to Watch?" challenge because I never even bothered to press Play. Between the blue hair, the dead eyes, and (as LibsOfTikTok described it), her wish that "Republicans and their loved ones get diabetes out of nowhere and are traumatized from it," I decided I didn't need that in my life.
So instead of asking, "How long did you last?" as I usually do, I'll say this instead: if you ever wondered what kind of people shove other people into cattle cars, here's one.
Maybe it's time to bring this feature to a close, what say you?
It's Only an Insurrection When It Helps Democrats to Say So
Sixty or so protestors led by Hamas-loving antisemite Linda Sarsour were arrested in the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday. “Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel’s crimes!” they chanted.
As the New York Post noted with uncharacteristic dryness, "It is illegal to hold demonstrations inside the Capitol, though violators of the prohibition are inconsistently prosecuted by the DC US Attorney’s Office."
You don't say.
The Obama White House praised Sarsour as someone who "shatters stereotypes of Muslim women while also treasuring her religious and ethnic heritage" because of course they did. But even Joe Biden was forced to disavow Sarsour after she said in 2020 that Israel is "based on supremacy, that is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else."
So I hadn't heard much about Sarsour since she became inconvenient to her Democrat benefactors. But now that the party's communist youth wing has fully embraced antisemitism, Sarsour is taking full advantage, leading 60 or so of her followers in an illegal protest inside the Capitol.
Those of us whose memories stretch back to the olden days of yore — January 6, 2021 — were told quite clearly that kind of thing, even unarmed, is an insurrection so serious it must be met with armed force and show trials, sometimes years later, for the insurrectionists.
Sarsour and her group face no such fate, you can be sure.
Also on Tuesday, Capitol Police were proud to announce that they were aware of Sarsour's "group’s potential plan to take a tour of the US Capitol Building and then start a protest... so we brought in additional officers to be prepared for the moment the group would break the law."
It's amazing, isn't it, how well prepared the Capitol Police were for Tuesday's insurrection, but proved hapless in detecting or stopping an insurrection that was fully embedded with FBI agents and provocateurs?

Before We Continue, Here's a Short Video to Restore Your Faith in Everything...
The youngest of our three dogs is almost eight, which means it's been almost seven years since we've had a puppy. And that means I have a severe case of Puppy Fever and videos like that one aren't helping.
But I can't stop watching them, either — how about you?
OMG, They Can BREAK?
This is the headline that will make me spend Christmas weekend questioning everything I thought I knew: Be warned, men... doctors say you're more likely to fracture your penis at Christmas.
Here's the gist:
Experts at University Hospital of Munich analysed data from more than 3,000 men who suffered the injury in Germany between 2005 and 2021.
Forty penis fractures were logged over the Christmas period – defined as the 24th, 25th and 26th of December – throughout the study.
This represented a daily incidence rate of 0.78, or seven every 10 days.
For comparison, it was around 0.54 the rest of the year.
No other seasonal spikes, including for New Year's Eve, were seen during the study, published in the British Journal of Urology International.
'If every day was like Christmas, 43 per cent more fractures would have occurred in Germany from 2005 onwards,' the medics wrote.'
'Our findings place a demand on couples to reduce "wild sex" during moments of relaxation to reduce the risk of penile fractures.'
Plan your Christmas shopping accordingly. This year, I'm getting the missus nothing more exciting than paper towels.

Quote(s) of the Week
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss totally, publicly contradicting and humiliating yourself.
Crazy Like a Fox
The Colorado Supreme Court, as you already know, just kicked Donald Trump off the GOP primary ballot for taking part in an insurrection that didn't happen and that he was never charged with, much less convicted of.
California is set to follow suit, with California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis asking Secretary of State Shirley Weber to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.”
The legality is dubious at best but I think I know what's going on here. Keeping Trump off the primary ballot is a test run for keeping him off the ballot in November, using whatever mud the Democrats can get to stick — insurrection, fraud, weird hair, whatever.
So what, you might ask, it isn't like Trump was going to win in any of the states like California or Colorado that might strike him from the ballot.
But it isn't about Trump. It's about giving blue-state Republicans less reason to show up and vote. And that could give Democrats an advantage down-ballot in tight House races.
I don't think it will work but you have to give the Democrats grim respect for trying any and every means at their disposal to win.
