Sheila Jackson Lee Claims the Moon Is 'Made Up Mostly of Gasses' (It's Not)
BRITTANY M. HUGHES | APRIL 9, 2024
 

This is what happens when you teach nothing but racism in school, and leave out anything actually, you know, educational.

During an event in Houston just before the eclipse Monday morning, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told the audience gathered at the Mickey Leland Federal Building that the moon was made up “mostly of gasses” (it isn’t) and that it's "almost impossible to go near the sun" (we actually can't go near it at all) because it's a "mighty powerful heat" (you don't say!?).


“You need light and energy from the sun so that you have the energy of the moon at night and sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’ that’s when you take the opportunity to come out and see that the full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gasses,” Jackson Lee rambled, having seemingly forgotten her prepared remarks - and rudimentary science, along with them.

Oh, but it got better - or, depending on how you look at it, far worse.

“That’s why the question is why and how quickly as humans we could live on the moon. Are the gasses such that we could do that?” she went on.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

She and party member Hank Johnson are shining beacons that even the most incompetent, ignorant people run congress.  If you'll remember Brother Johnson infamously asked a Navy Admiral if he was concerned Guam might tip over if too many troops were put on one side. 10631

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Sun Is ‘Almost’ Impossible to Go Near, Moon ‘Made Up Mostly of Gases’

Hannah Knudsen 9 Apr 2024

Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is under fire for remarks she made about the moon and sun on Monday, concluding that the former is “made up mostly of gases” and asserting that it is “almost” impossible to go near the sun.

“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 gases,” Jackson Lee claimed during a recent appearance at the Booker T. Washington High School in Houston.

“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?” she asked students before switching gears to the sun.

“The sun is a mighty powerful heat,” she said, telling students it is “almost impossible to go near the sun.”

“The moon is more manageable. And you will see…in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon,” she said, offering other head-scratching facts ahead of the eclipse:

    I don’t think we’ve been on the moon the last 50 years. So we will be landing on the moon. What you’ll see today will be the closest distance that the moon has ever been in the last 20 years, which means that’s why they will shut the light down because they will be close to the Earth.

Jackson Lee added that she would like to be the “first in line to know how to live and to be able to survive on the moon.”

The moon mostly made up of gas. Brought to you by the same people who think they can run the nations healthcare and economic system better than the American people themselves
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Anytime Democrats claims their party is "the Party of Science", they should be asked about Congresswoman Lee and asked why they can't maintain enough party discipline to keep her from making completely ignorant public pronouncements about scientific matters.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

So, is that why Lee thought Neil Armstrong planted the American flag on Mars....because the Moon was mostly gas? I wonder how the hell she keeps getting re-elected  :pondering: never mind it's no doubt the same way Mad Max does and all the other dumb as rocks democrats.

Lee's no spring chicken, born 1950 so graduated(assumption) from high school before the socialists really destroyed our education system. Lee is just naturally that stupid!
