BILL MAHER: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but where does QAnon go for the apology?”

“You know, I mean, QAnon, which believed in lots of really ridiculous things like, you know, Democrats eat babies…but they were kind of harping a lot on the idea that the elites are running this pedophile ring.”

“Now with all that’s come out in the last couple of weeks, there’s a little more than smoke.”

MAHER: “So you know, I mean, QAnon, yes — a lot of crazy there, but you know what?”

“You weren’t totally wrong about that one, guys.”

WHAT IS A WOMAN?

LET HE WHO HAS NOT INJECTED HIS PENIS WITH HYALURONIC ACID CAST THE FIRST STONE: Are ski jumpers enhancing their penises to fly further? WADA is ready to investigate.

The Winter Olympics has long been a battleground for marginal gains. Just look at the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) banning the new helmets Great Britain had planned to wear next week due to their aerodynamic ridges.

Thursday, however, took things to a new level in Milan Cortina — ski jumpers allegedly injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly that little bit further.

The claims were originally reported in German newspaper Bild, in January on the eve of the latest Winter Olympics beginning in Italy and subsequently addressed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president Witold Banka during a press conference.

So far, so lurid, but there is science behind the allegations. Injecting the penis with acid would increase its size and give the ski jumpers bigger genitalia at the point their suits are measured by 3D scanners.

Temporarily enhanced measurements would theoretically mean athletes being given a bigger, looser suit and, like a sail catching wind, could allow them to make longer jumps. Research from the scientific journal, Frontiers, published last October said that a 2cm change in a suit represented an extra 5.8 metres in the length of a jump.

If injecting your old chap with acid can lengthen your ski jump, does checking the wind direction and dressing to the right or the left impact the distance as well?

BAD BUNNY IS SKIP BAYLESS APPROVED! Skip Bayless gets brutally honest about Bad Bunny and ‘boring, cliche’ football players ahead of Super Bowl LX.

A frequent critic of the NFL, Skip Bayless is applauding the league and partner Roc Nation for picking Bad Bunny to headline Sunday’s halftime show Santa Clara.

‘I thought it was an inspired, different sort of choice,’ Bayless told the Daily Mail at this week’s NFL Crucial Catch dinner in San Francisco, hosted by the American Cancer Society. ‘He’s the most downloaded artist in the world, so good for the NFL.’

Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny is the Grammy Award-winning musician, actor and Donald Trump critic detested by conservatives for his Spanish lyrics and anti-ICE stance. But while some are furious to see him get the biggest stage in music, Bad Bunny has intrigued Bayless, albeit in small doses.

‘You know, it’s funny,’ Bayless began. ‘I thought he was not good, [but] great, in Happy Gilmore 2 because he stole it. He’s a very gifted actor, and I like him on Saturday Night Live. I like him a lot.

‘And the music, I haven’t gotten into yet, I try,’ he continued. ‘And then I heard a song today that I liked, and maybe I’m too out of the demo, but all I know about Bad Bunny is: He is extremely talented in many, many ways, so I’m happy. I liked [the decision].’

I’m so old, I can remember when mass audiences actually knew the music that would be performed at the Super Bowl halftime show — and had heard of the performer before he was announced by the NFL.

SPEAKING OF DOOMED LEFTY INSTITUTIONS: Rick Moran at PJ Media lays out the likely demise of national election-shaping lefty political power in a column updating the old saw that “demographics are destiny” for a country.

“The blue states are in a demographic doom loop. They need to create high taxes to pay for the numerous goodies they give to residents, but that leads to an exodus of wealth and people. To make up for the losses, blue states import and encourage illegal aliens to settle there. But illegals are a huge drain on the state treasury, leading to the need to raise taxes, and the loop closes on itself.”

Yes, Lord, please let it be so!
