The Pentagon is now weighing in with an official statement to confirm a dog’s gender. President Trump on Monday praised Conan, the military dog who was injured during the raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi last month, at the White House, referring to Conan as male. But White House officials subsequently confused everyone by clarifying that Conan is actually a female dog, and then clarifying again hours later that actually, no, he’s male.If you thought the confusion over what gender a dog is couldn’t possibly be a story spanning two days, you’d be wrong, as on Tuesday morning, a Pentagon official told ABC News that Conan is actually female — only for the White House to maintain that no, really, Conan is male.Perhaps the single most important story of our time finally came to a conclusion with a fifth update in the form of a statement from the Pentagon to BuzzFeed News confirming that, yes, Conan is male, meaning that after about a full 24 hours, we arrive back at exactly the same place we started and this has been a great use of everyone’s time. > OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE PENTAGON TO @BUZZFEEDNEWS: “Per U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Conan is a male dog.” pic.twitter.com/7NQZn8epEn> > — Ellie Hall (@ellievhall) November 26, 2019More stories from theweek.com U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisis Melania Trump booed throughout speech at Baltimore youth summit Trump wonders why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage wasn’t celebrated ‘a long time ago’

Pompeo calls on the Egyptian government to “respect freedom of the press and to release journalists detained in a raid last weekend,” an apparent reference to the raid on Mada Masr, the last major independent media outlet in the country. pic.twitter.com/jAKyhHutSc> > — NBC News (@NBCNews) November 26, 2019Pompeo’s rebuke might come as a bit of a surprise, considering the strategic alliance between the two countries and President Trump’s apparent fondness for Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, whom he once called his “favorite dictator.” Some analysts were waiting to see what Pompeo would say about the raids, especially after he continued to criticize U.S. adversary Iran for human rights abuses. The raid was the latest episode in Cairo’s expanding effort to subdue an independent press, turning the country into one of the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world.More stories from theweek.com Democrats, don’t hand impeachment to Mitch McConnell Trump wonders why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage wasn’t celebrated ‘a long time ago’ Welcome to the vengeance election
