Some online training I had to take included the above image from a Jeopardy college tournament show. The picture isn't clear, but the category the young Caucasian brainiacs avoided for as long as they could is "African American History." You'd think the political indoctrination and Woke dogma that Republicans assure us kids are subjected to at college would make them all eager to shout, "Who were the Tuskegee Airmen?" But, no, TikTok celebrities for a thousand, Ken.
Speaking of Jeopardy, there is a Second Chance tournament going on right now. Contestants who lost close games to Super Champions like Amy Schneider have been invited back to play against one another in a sort of Noble Losers bracket—two brackets, actually, with the winner of each advancing to the upcoming Tournament of Champions, where they will have a chance to avenge themselves further. I have a crush on the first Second Chance qualifier, Jessica Something-or-Other from Nashville. (Forty-five years ago I knew the full names of my crushes.) I got used to cheering for Jessica when on her first show she was giving Matt Amodio, who had won like a thousand games in a row, a run for his money. Then in Final Jeopardy Matt implausibly couldn't answer a question in the geography/history field, and Jessica didn't bet as much as the other challenger, who won the game. Then that "other challenger" won like ten more games in a row, so you could say that, without ever winning a game, Jessica played .500 ball against Super Champions. Now she lapped the field in her Second Chance bracket, and she seems like a normal person, not an idiot savant or any of their near relatives.
My favorite in the other bracket is Do-Hyoung Park, a St. Paul native who studied computer science at Stanford and now covers the Twins for mlb.com. Renaissance man! He had the misfortune of going against Amy Schneider, who, assuming Ken Jennings has no secrets, is the greatest transgender Jeopardy player of all time. Do stayed with her throughout the game and would have won if she'd drawn a blank in Final Jeopardy. She didn't, of course. Do's Second Chance game airs tomorrow (Wednesday the 26th). I'm glad he wasn't in Jessica's bracket as its torture when ambiguity infects your rooting interest.
Someone who's not a candidate for Celebrity Jeopardy? Lauren Boebert, Republican of Colorado. Can someone explain to me why this data reflects poorly on Biden?
Here’s how many individuals on the FBI’s terror watch list CBP arrested over the last 6 years:
— Rep. Lauren Boebert (@RepBoebert) October 24, 2022
FY’22 : 98
FY’21 : 15
FY’20 : 3
FY’19 : 0
FY’18 : 6

Border security is national security, and we’re all in more danger thanks to @joebiden.
He arrests terrorists and has also been caught on tape telling his son that he loves him. Scandalous! Boebert was recently reading a Bible verse off a teleprompter when she became confused by the phrase "wanton killing." She interrupted herself to admit she was clueless about the connection between homicide and the Chinese menu item known as a wonton. According to the polls, Kevin McCarthy has only a few more weeks to wait before he can make her the chair of a congressional committee.
