oh hahaha 'someone' keeps getting sooooo upset 'cause I'm anonymous --- well, my secret's out - I'm a bot... oh, but, but, but, is that other someone one, too? We'll never know...
And I will always say The Smothers Brothers were far superior to any recent "comedians", & I use that term loosely when referring to many these days.
And I have all the best wishes for the family w/ several children. That's certainly better reading, imo, than:
Approximately 15% of men in the U.S. will have children with more than one woman by age 40, according to a Child Trends study. Other data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that about 13% of men aged 40 to 44 have multiple partner fertility (MPF), and this is more common among Black men (40%) than white men (18%).
Key data points
Overall prevalence: About 15% of men will have children with more than one partner by age 40.
Age progression: The prevalence of multiple-partner fertility increases with age, rising from 5% by age 25 to 15% by age 40.
Racial differences: Multiple partner fertility is more common among Black and multiracial parents compared to white and Asian parents, according to Institute for Family Studies data.
Higher fertility rates: Men with multiple partners tend to have a higher number of children overall.
Marital status: Men who were not married when their first child was born were more likely to have multiple partner fertility.
Age at first birth: Having a first child at a younger age is associated with higher rates of multiple-partner fertility.
Social factors: Multiple partner fertility is higher in disadvantaged communities.
While exact numbers vary by year and program, around 48.5% of single mothers receive some form of government assistance, such as SNAP (food stamps) or WIC (nutrition for women, infants, and children), with specific 2022 data showing 38% receiving SNAP benefits. Children account for a significant portion of these programs; for example, children made up approximately 39% of all SNAP participants in fiscal year 2023.
Bot or not, great comments. I don't know who said it first, but I often say the best thing a man can do for his kids is to love their mom. Regardless of location, nationality, ethnic background, or income level, the one common thing that has the biggest impact on childhood outcomes is having their father in the home.
- Regarding bots and captchas: before I retired, I had a number of data scientists on my team. I remember a conversation we had where they told me that the real purpose of captchas is to help train AI engines for autonomous vehicles. Think about it -- they never ask you to identify pictures with butterflies or flowers. It's always motorcycles, school buses, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. Since they told me that, I cannot un-see it when presented with a captcha.
- Regarding families making it on a modest income. I served 26 years in the Air Force, and our son is halfway through his Army career. For military families, the Ivy's experience is not the exception; it's the rule. Their story isn't news for anyone who had a family while wearing the uniform.
- Regarding David Letterman: late night hosts of Dave's generation including Leno, O'Brien, Ferguson, poked fun at everyone and were never mean-spirited. It's curious that the loudest voices are outraged about a host being de-platformed, and not the death of a husband and father who was murdered while expressing his First Amendment rights.
“President Trump said on Thursday that regulators should consider revoking the licenses of broadcasters that air negative coverage or commentary of him, indicating that his assault on critics’ language is motivated at least in part by personal animus.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Mr. Trump called the networks “an arm of the Democrat party” who are out to get him.
“I have read someplace that the networks were 97 percent against me, I get 97 percent negative, and yet I won and easily,” Mr. Trump said as he returned to Washington following a state visit to Britain, adding: “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”
Remember Roseann Barr? How about Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly, Sharon Osbourne, Tucker Carlson, Gina Carano?? The left was practically dancing in the streets when they were cancelled.
Now, Jimmy Kimmel gets cancelled by the ABC Affiliates who found his rhetoric not in line with their standards and the same group of lefties are apoplectic.
Kimmel is referred to as a comedian, but he is nowhere near funny and people are tired of it.
According to monthly Nielsen figures, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” dropped to just 1.1 million total viewers in August 2025, down 43% from January’s 1.95 million. His August household rating of 0.35 marked the weakest showing of the year.
"In the last year, about five monologues have focused on a subject other than Trump, with the most recent coming on Dec. 11, in which Kimmel provided light-hearted updates on Luigi Mangione, who he said America “thirsted” after."
In the end, ABC has the right to protect their bottom line and their shareholders. Stephen Colbert seems to forget that he's not the chosen one at CBS (even though the Emmy's gave him a pity award), and Kimmel should remember that too. Everyone is replaceable, but these guys seem to think they're Teflon. They're not. And they're not victims either.
