So Serena Williams just won the Wimbledon… again! This is obviously a big story, but for a particular Republican, it is a big story for a whole other reason.
In what he is now calling a private twitter conversation, as if there is such a thing, David Frum, a former speechwriter for George Bush, is suggesting on Twitter that Serena Williams is on steroids.Yes, you heard that right. Without any proof whatsoever, Frum concluded that Williams is on steroids, and the rest of the media is ignoring this fact.
Realizing the insanity of his statement, Frum tried to take it all back, saying that his words were not intended for public domain. But, the damage was already done and Twitter users were on his case!
Just like a Republican. Manufacturing your talking-points based on absolutely nothing. And believe those talking points as facts.
She is 82 years old, and considered one of the wisest and most vocal of all the justices on the Supreme Court. And President Obama honored Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a speech he gave at the White House.
Speaking at the White House Conference on Aging, Obama mentioned a number of Americans who show that senior citizens are able to live healthier, more productive lives than ever before.
“Arguably the toughest justice on the Supreme Court is the oldest, Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” he said. “Also known as the Notorious RBG. She’s tough.”
Ginsburg’s fans gave her the nickname, a play on the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. It’s caught fire, appearing on a Tumblr site, t-shirts and even tattoos.
Obama’s praise for Ginsburg, 82, comes weeks after after the high court handed him a pair of victories.
A leader of the court’s liberal wing, Ginsburg sided with the majority to uphold a key provision of the president’s healthcare law and legalize same-sex marriage nationwide.
“Americans who once might have been dismissed as out of touch or past their primes are making vital contributions in every field.”
The president said the contributions of older Americans like Ginsburg sparks all Americans “to raise our ambitions about what we hope to achieve in our golden years.”
