Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Congress's resident moron, Congresswoman
Sheila Jackson-Lee (D):

The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it, unlike
the sun which is "almost" too hot to go near.

https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1777722525939625984/vid/avc1/320x320/IqS6IPUaTCXkT8hU.mp4?tag=14

--------------------------
This is a senior member of Congress. Houston sure is being well represented,
isn't it? It's a wonder this woman's brain even has the power to keep her
breathing.

Keep in mind that this Mensa genius is also famous for asking the NASA
director why he didn't land the Mars rover closer to where the astronauts
landed in the 60s so we could see the relics of the original space program.

She also notably claimed that "The United States has been operating under the
Constitution for the last 400 years."

She's also the one who claimed it was racist that there were no hurricanes
with "black-sounding names". I guess she wanted a Hurricane Tyrone or a
Hurricane LaQueesha. Of course if NOAA *had* been giving hurricanes
black-sounding names all along, Jackson-Lee would complain that's also racist,
to name storms that wreak mass destruction after black people.

And 'memba when she was talking about gun control and downloaded this amazing
turd into the bowl:

Apparently I'm a lot stronger than I thought because my AR weighs as much as
ten moving boxes and yet I can easily carry it in one hand.

Oh, and I've apparently been using the wrong ammo. I should really stop using
the .223 rounds that seem to have worked fine all this time and start using
the .50-cal rounds that Sheila says my rifle naturally uses. It'll be a
challenge, though, since jamming a .50-cal cartridge into the rifle will be
like trying shove a tennis ball through a garden hose.

And any time you point out her calamitous stupidity, Jackson-Lee claims it's
just a racist attempt to make a proud and successful black woman look stupid.

No, Sheila, you do a fine job of making yourself look stupid without any help
from racists or anyone else.

The woman has an IQ of a turnip but she keeps getting re-elected because her
district was gerrymandered by Democrats to ensure no one of a lighter
skin-tone ever has a chance of winning.

I don't know where she would even have gotten the idea that the moon
is made mostly of gases. Maybe it's mostly helium which is why it
keeps floating above the Earth like a kid's balloon.

She at least got it sort of close.

Yeah, that's a no win situation for NOAA. Actually it's a win for NOAA
to just ignore her as I doubt anyone is paying attention to her.
I often wonder how people like that get elected to Congress. It
happens with all parties so it isn't a political affiliation that gets
them elected. At least with Marjorie Taylor Green I think she knows
some of the things she is saying are BS but they will get her lots of
air time.

Apparently, her ignorance of astronomy is as profound as her ignorance
of pretty much everything else. She reminds me of the meme of AOC
wanting to send a NASA mission to the sun but to avoid getting burned
up by going at night.

If Jackson-Lee could actually read, I'd be inclined to send her
something basic like the Wikipedia article on the moon. (Hmm, maybe one
of her staff could read it to her?) She would be surprised to learn
that the moon has huge temperature extremes making it very difficult to
live there. She'd be even more astonished to learn that, despite all
these gases she imagines, that the moon has no atmosphere of any kind,
which tends to make breathing difficult.

She's one of those people that I label as having an IQ equal to their
shoe size, along with the cabinet of the federal Liberal government in
this country.

Hey, the Moon is a planet(oid) and Mars is a planet and they both start
with "M". Obviously, they are one and the same thing!

Clearly, she's talking about the Constitution the Pilgrims brought with

She's apparently heard some of these terms but hasn't connected them to
to real devices. I suspect someone showed her the standard Army
machine gun, which I believe is a .50 cal weapon, and somehow she
concluded that this was an AR rifle. (If I'm not mistaken, the .50 cal
machine guns usually have two man crews because carrying the weapon,
its base, and its ammo is too much for one man alone to handle.) Maybe
someone told her it was an AR, perhaps to see if she would echo this
later, or maybe she concocted this idea in her own microscopic brain.

I'm amazed that her constituents don't vote her out due to overwhelming
embarrassment that she is their representative. There must be any
number of smarter blacks that would inevitably do a better job than her.

Is that other rocket scientist, Hank something, still in Congress? I
remember when he expressed concerns about Guam tipping over due to the
weight of ammunition on the island from the US military bases there.

Don't think we didn't notice you skipping right over what Jackson-Lee
actually said in the video that BTR cited. What's the matter? Cat got
your tongue? I'm waiting to hear you explain how she's really not
nearly as stupid as people say she is, despite huge factual errors like
this.

U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee responds to backlash after saying moon is
mostly made up of gases
By Shakari Briggs, Staff writer
The Houston Chronicle
April 9, 2024

Things took an astronomical turn for the worse on X, formerly Twitter,
when critics began teasing Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee about her
remarks at an event Tuesday. Lee took to twitter to defend herself
saying she misspoke when she referred to the moon as being made "mostly
of gases."

"Obviously, I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual,
Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really
matters," Lee wrote on X. "What can I say though, foolish thinkers lust
for stupidity."

Obviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual,
Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really
matters.
What can I say though, foolish thinkers lust for stupidity!
https://t.co/ABGxUdRqF6

-- Sheila Jackson Lee (@JacksonLeeTX18) April 9, 2024

In a video on X that's been viewed nearly 600,000 times, Lee said
"sometimes, you've heard the word full moon. Sometimes, you need to
take the opportunity to just come out and see a full moon -- it's that
complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases." She went on
to say "that's why the question is why or how could we as humans live
on the moon -- the gas is such that we could do that."

After discussing the moon, Lee dived into another part of the solar
system -- the sun.

"The sun is a mighty powerful heat, but it's almost impossible to go
near the sun," she said. "The moon is more manageable and you will see
in a couple years that NASA is going back to the moon."

According to Space.com, gaseous moon do exist just not in our solar
system. We have ice, rocky and ocean moons. Keith Cooper, of Space.com,
says the moons in our solar system formed through the "bottom-up core
accretion process in disks of leftover material that ringed their
parent planets." As a result, the planets had "already swept up most of
the available material" thus it "wasn't enough left to form a moon
massive enough to have enough gravity to hold onto a lot of gas."

"In fact, only one moon in the solar system even has an atmosphere and
that's Saturn's largest moon, Titan," wrote Cooper.

If only! She asked while on a junket to NASA and watching the viedo feed from
one of the Mars probes.

That’s just crazy talk. She doesn’t think the earth has been around that
long.

Funny, but you weren't bothered when your Dear Leader said George
Washington stormed the airports.

Or when he said Nicky Haley was in charge of the House on January 6th.

Or that he beat Obama in the election.

You had no problems then, did'ja?

He didn't seem to have much to say about fellow Congressional member
Marjorie Taylor Spleen's talk of Jewish space lasers and the Rapture either.
