The politicization of science has spiraled completely out of control. From climate alarmism to gender ideology, there’s no shortage of reasons to question the so-called “experts.” That reality was on full display this week on CNN’s Newsnight. Host Abby Phillip played a clip of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussing the poor state of children’s health today — a moment the leftist panelists gleefully mocked. But the real fireworks came when Republican strategist Scott Jennings, badly outnumbered, cut through the noise. Things turned explosive the moment he stated the obvious: any scientist who claims men can get pregnant has zero credibility.
That one statement sent host Abby Phillip and her panelists into hysterics.
“You realize that you’re accepting some politicization of science but not others, right?” Jennings interjected.
“What's the politicization of science that's been accepted?” asked Pernell.
Jennings cut to the chase: “Can men get pregnant or not?”
That simple question was enough to throw the CNN panel into chaos.
Jennings continued, “If you're in the CDC and you believe that, I'm saying … you're not a very credible person.”
Phillip immediately tried to shut him down. “That has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation we are having,” she insisted. Dr. Chris Pernell, a guest on the panel, piled on, claiming Jennings’ point was “imbecilic” and accusing him of fueling misinformation and even violence.
Yes, violence.

Ummm....this CNN panel was already nuts.
Show me one pregnant man and I’m on-board 100%
Dr. Chris Pernell, an imbecile calling someone else an imbecile. Yes, it’s a DEI hire.

Only fear of the Zot prevents me from recounting a hilarious episode from my days at Navy boot camp.

Pernell having a piled-higher-and-deeper (phd) or worse, an MD, is a data point for proof that being credentialled does not equate to educated or even intelligent, these days.
“”Only fear of the Zot prevents me from recounting a hilarious episode from my days at Navy boot camp.””
Oh come on. At least clean it up a bit and run it by the mods before posting. Now you’ve got my curiosity tweaked.
A typical Leftist dodge: When the facts hit you in the face and you don't like them, deflect the point and insist that is not within the realm of the topic under discussion. Democrats, here's a wake-up call: Facts don't care how you feel about them. They simply exist.
They all talk over him so nobody can hear what he has to say.
In the not too distant past, it would never occur to anyone to even ask this question.
Jennings handled that extremely well, despite making zero headway with the idiots, including Cupp, who disagreed with Jennings’ statement, “Some scientists are allowed to politicize things and some aren’t. And it depends on your politics.” to which she loudly rolled her eyes, and ‘Dr.’ Chris Pernell hysterically responded, “That’s not true. That’s not true. That’s not true” after labeling his statements imbecilic.
The left remains hard at work to maintain the status quo - and I assure you within the bureaucracy AS WELL - which is why I’m so critical of the administrations SNAIL-LIKE efforts at unseating the bureaucracy, to which others HERE have criticized ME because it’s not enough to do what’s RIGHT, but we must have evidence so that we don’t offend idiots such as these or their supporters.
Where do they keep the fetus in a box.

“2+2=5, and we’ll destroy you if you don’t agree!”
But, but, it’s twue, it’s twue (for increasing values of 2 as it approaches 2 1/2). So goes leftist “logic”.
You can’t give birth through a penis.
CNN and the others exist solely to promote leftist ideology.
The obfuscation of words is the heart of Critical theory. This is where the battle is. Rush would continuously discuss the importance of exact words and meanings.
