After the recent revelation that Pete Hegseth had secretly paid a financial settlement to a woman who had accused him of raping her in 2017, President-elect Donald Trump stood by his choice of Hegseth to become the next Secretary of Defense.
@#4 ... "Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them. Therefore, they're not real." ...
Wow, that piece of idiocy is actually a real quote.
Wow.
'Germs are not a real thing': Fox News host says he hasn't washed hands in 10 years (February 2019)
www.theguardian.com
... Donald Trump's favourite TV show, Fox & Friends, has a reputation for giving airtime to conspiracy theories that benefit the White House agenda. But host Pete Hegseth may now have managed to upset the famously germaphobic president " by revealing that he has not washed his hands in a decade.
The admission came as Hegseth discussed eating day-old pizza that had not been refrigerated. He did not see any issue with eating the pizza, he said, then added that he didn't think he had washed his hands in 10 years.
"Really," he said. "I don't really wash my hands ever."
Met with laughter, he explained: "I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they're not real." ...
Holy pasture-pastry.

Good Morning, School Girl
en.wikipedia.org
... Good Morning, School Girl" is a blues standard that has been identified as an influential part of the blues canon.[1] Pre-war Chicago blues vocalist and harmonica pioneer John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson first recorded it in 1937. Subsequently, a variety of artists have recorded versions of the song, usually calling it "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl".[2] ...
Original song
Sonny Boy Williamson I recorded "Good Morning, School Girl" in 1937 during his first recording session for Bluebird Records.[1] The song is an uptempo blues with an irregular number of bars.[3] Although identified with Chicago blues, a write-up in the Blues Hall of Fame notes "it was a product of Sonny Boy's west Tennessee roots and his pre-Chicago ensemble work".[1] The melody has been traced to "Back and Side Blues", a 1934 blues song recorded by Son Bonds. "Good Morning, School Girl" features Williamson's vocal and harmonica with accompaniment by Big Joe Williams and Robert Lee McCoy (also known as Robert Nighthawk) on guitars.
Blues renditions
In October 1948, Leroy Dallas recorded a version of the song, titled "Good Morning Blues".[4] Texas bluesman Smokey Hogg recorded his version, calling it "Little School Girl". In 1950, the song reached number nine on the Billboard Best-Selling Retail Rhythm & Blues Records chart[5] and number five on the magazine's Most Played Juke Box R&B chart.[6] Memphis one-man-band Joe Hill Louis recorded an electric version titled "Good Morning Little Angel" in February or March 1953.[7] ...
In 1967, the Grateful Dead recorded a version for their self-titled debut album based on Wells' arrangement. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan provided the vocal and harmonica, which an AllMusic reviewer called a "greasy harp-fuelled take".[18] The song was a staple of their early live performances.
English group Ten Years After updated the song with a blues-rock arrangement for their 1969 album Ssssh. In an album review, Jim Newsom noted the seven-minute version included "reworked lyrics leaving little doubt as to what the singer had in mind for the title character".[19] ...

OK, it appears that Ten Years After has added some lyrics and, I'll say, testosterone, to the song.
