Throughout the years, politicians and unelected bureaucrats especially those of the Democrat persuasion have made plenty of embarrassingly ridiculous claims that have no basis in reality.
Many thought former Rep. Hank Johnson’s (D-GA) 2010 claim that an increased U.S. military presence on Guam would overpopulate and “capsize” the island could never be topped.
But Sheila Jackson Lee just set a new standard for stupidity by giving children this unbelievable “science lesson.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) just can’t seem to get out of her own way.
She’s had a rough few months, and it seems that her biggest enemy is her own ignorance.
Back in October, a recording surfaced of Jackson Lee berating her staff with profanity.
In the runup to the Houston mayoral election (which Jackson Lee went on to lose in a landslide) the congresswoman was heard erupting at a staffer who couldn’t locate a document that she was looking for.
She told the staffer that she wanted him to have a “f**kin’ brain” and said, “nobody knows a Goddamn thing in my office – nothing.”
She also referred to another staffer as a “fat-ass stupid idiot,” and added that both were “f**k-ups.”
She later expressed regret for words and blamed their surfacing on “Republican extremists,” but it seems that she didn’t learn the all-important lesson to choose her words more carefully.
Jackson Lee: “A full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases”
On Monday, just before the total solar eclipse, Jackson Lee told a group of students in Houston, “Sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’ sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gasses.”
“And that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans could live on the moon,” she added. “Are the gases such that we could do that? The sun is a mighty powerful heat, and it’s almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable. And you will see in a moment, not a moment, you’ll see in a couple of years, that NASA is going back to the moon.”
The gaffe wouldn’t have been as devastating for the Democrat Congresswoman if not for the fact that Jackson Lee served as a member of the House Science Committee and as the Ranking Member on the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee.

Her misstatement didn’t go unnoticed on social media.

Billboard Chris sarcastically replied, “Democrat Congresswoman @JacksonLeeTX18 thinks the moon is made out of gas. Everyone knows it’s made out of cheese, which can make you gassy if you eat it. The moon itself is not gas. ‘A full moon is a complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases.’ And that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that? The sun is a mighty powerful heat that is almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable.’”
Juanita Broaddrick: She’s “Dumb as dirt. Always has been.”
Juanita Broaddrick, the former nursing administrator who accused former President Bill Clinton of raping her, had a response that probably summed up what many were thinking.
“Dumb as dirt,” Broaddrick wrote on X. “Always has been.”

While that one probably stings, it’s tough to feel sorry for the Democrat Congresswoman, given her “greatest hits” of verbal miscues.
