But that hasn't stopped folks from wanting to [regulate the innovative little cleaning pods](. Canada, as behind as it often is, has [a tweet asking]( Canadians if they know the health risks of consuming laundry pods. Which seems like an odd way to spin consumer safety notices. The picture, however, sneaks laundry pods in between candies, with the phrase "Sometimes it's not that easy to tell the difference." Can you? Correction! Yesterday, I jokingly suggested President Trump might want to consider a pardon for Tonya Harding if he needed a good distraction to take over a news cycle. Since Harding's guilty plea was not to a federal crime, the President cannot pardon her. I regret the error. "The new conspiracy that's bigger than Pizzagate" Do you really want to know about it? Of course you do! What else do the troubled minds of the right-wing conspiracy world have in store for us? Will Sommer, who runs a newsletter looking at characters on the right, [explains]( Welcome to the exciting alternative universe of "The Storm," an increasingly popular mega-theory on the right that has already absorbed gobs of smaller conspiracy theories. In "The Storm," which also goes by the handle "QAnon," Trump fans can inhabit a world where their wildest Trump hopes can come true. Naturally, Sean Hannity has already been tweeting about #QAnon, along with... Roseanne Barr? It gets weirder, like some [Kurt Schlichter fan fiction]( In late October, Q started posting regularly posting series of cryptic tips, often in the form of questions. The tips include gobs of obscure references, but the general thrust is that Trump is poised to arrest members of the Deep State in "The Storm," a final reckoning that will end with Trump's victory over the globalists. Some Trump fans seized on the posts as proof from a Trump insider meant to provide relief to beleaguered fans of the president. Would not endorse going down into the chans for more. Leave the documenting of this to qualified professionals whose eyeballs can handle the crazy. There are lots of things on these websites you can never unsee. Be all that you can be....on the Las Vegas Golden Knights? The U.S. Army has filed opposition to a trademark filing by the new NHL team. [The team's response is hilarious]( "...we are not aware of a single complaint from anyone attending our games that they were expecting to see the parachute team and not a professional hockey game..." If the Army wins, the team might have to change its name. Which means more merchandise to sell! —Jim Swift, Deputy Online Editor Please feel free to send us comments, thoughts and links to dailystandard@weeklystandard.com. -30- This email was sent by: The Weekly Standard A MediaDC Publication 1152 15th Street, NW, Suite 200 Washington, DC 20005 We respect your right to privacy - [View our Policy]( [Manage Subscriptions]( | [One-Click Unsubscribe](
