Hey, kids, it’s #tick season! You’ve probably heard about #LymeDisease (it’s nasty) but there are other tick-borne pathogens and stuff to watch out for, like one that will make you allergic to red meat, for instance. Here’s a #DailyShow interview with Dr. Thomas Mather, the TickGuy. Lots of info, and tips for avoiding the buggers, and how to properly search for and get them off your body when you find one. https://youtu.be/X53d7YBtjoM?si=Sk1NSShB873yNyD0

From our 1st and Greatest Fool, Donald Trump on his brilliant passing of medical check-up cognitive tests:

"I'm the only president to take a cognitive test at the doctor, and pass it...no one else could do that."

Uh huh...why again are YOU the "only president" to being required, REQUIRED to take an old man mental check because you have stupidly been handed our nuclear codes... cognitive test...EVERY TIME you go to the doctor (dumbass)?

Trump's boast is self-defeating as it often is, in a genuinely funny way, and Stewart's right to call it out. Trump is technically correct in a narrow, useless way. No president has publicly acknowledged taking a standardized cognitive test or made the results public except Donald Trump.

But that's not the flex he thinks it is.

Trump's implication is that passing a cognitive test makes him uniquely brilliant (more likely stupid, but whatever). While cognitive tests can rule out impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease and stroke, as we all know -- they do not measure intelligence.

Acing the MoCA, which includes identifying a drawing of a rhinoceros and counting backward, is a floor, not a ceiling.

Stewart's instinct is exactly right -- the bragging itself is the tell.

As we all know.

There's also the broader irony that Trump is the first president to make cognitive testing a public political football, largely by mocking others' fitness, and the test he passed is the same one his own critics have suggested he needs administered again regularly.

The show last night:

Jon Stewart marvels at our "genius" president's faulty math and cognitive skills.

As America’s situationship with Iran hits the 60-day War Powers Act deadline, Trump brazenly ignores Congress's authority, and...

Plus, a visit from a real monarch, King Charles, shines a light on the lack of checks and balances from America's absent Congress. #DailyShow #WarPowersAct #KingCharles #IranWar
