IS IT REAL OR IS IT "SAMSONITE?"



There are many reasons that I usually choose not to write political opinions for UPSTREAM IDAHO -- this is not one of them. Not that there isn’t enough material for a weekly political column — just look at Sam Brinton, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy. At the time of this writing, former Deputy Assistant Secretary Brinton has been fired — not for the way he looks, but TWICE for stealing women’s luggage from airport baggage claims and is due in court on December 19, 2022. He has also been charged with being a repeat offender -- I think the charge should read something like, "Felony theft of TSA-protected luggage with the intent to wear someone else's underwear.” Good grief! Today the government stripped away Sam's job and title --significantly reducing his entertainment value. Most likely you haven’t heard much about Sam from the usual media sources, because Sam is one of their own — appointed by the current occupant of the White House.

As far as Sam Brinton goes, this is one gender-fluid sick puppy who should have never had his hands on our spent nuclear fuel rods. Nothing says national security like stealing suitcases full of ladies’ undies from a federally-protected TSA baggage claim. But it does bring up some interesting questions. If this clear violation of common sense and responsibility is ever prosecuted successfully, where will they send this person? Would he be sent to a men’s correctional facility or are they afraid he will pick up some bad habits? A women’s facility seems fitting until you realize that men who dress or compete like females, aren’t women at all, no matter how you decorate them up, slice their cake, or shave off their hair. Another defense would be to plead insanity. That would put Sam in the Funny Farm for a couple of years and maybe introduce him to one of those doctors who are keen on gender-affirming drugs and mutilating surgery. Wouldn’t that be rich? Go in as Sam — come out as Sammette. Anyone taking issue with this could take it all the way to the Supreme Court where they would find at least one justice who said in her confirmation hearing that she didn’t know what a woman was. No wonder we're confused!

Maybe that’s the problem. Even the LGBTQ+ community has no idea what to do with him/her/it/them. News is that they don’t believe that Sam Brinton actually went through a gender-affirming process at all and is just doing this for attention. You think? It will be interesting to follow this to fruition. Perhaps Sam will find his niche on the internet. Nothing says “influencer” like a biologic male with a red mustache, red lipstick, and a rhinestone necklace wearing an off-the-shoulder strapless red gown, now does it? Enquiring minds and this retired urologist want to know if his outfit is real or if Sam is just wearing something “borrowed” from someone else’s luggage — leaving one burning question: Is Sam's baggage real, or is it just attention-grabbing Samsonite? This was such fun that I think I will have to write another political column after the holidays. Note to self: What really happened to Grant Wahl? Evert vigilant, RT
