We recently discovered that actor Rick Schroder—who famously portrayed a spoiled little kid in the ‘80s sitcom Silver Spoons—is reprising that role as part of the Washington, D.C., TruckNutz Convoy that’s fecklessly circling Washington in protest of rapidly fading COVID-19 mitigation mandates. Americans are paying scant attention to them, because Ukrainians...

Look, I get it—that half the Republican electorate is either unbalanced, selfish or so ill-informed that Trump looked like a reasonable pick; but why do some Democrats insist on sleeping with (sorry Joe) the enemy? Almost immediately this weekend, the winners fell for the media's attempt to sow dissension. Over...
Trump probably created more “diers” today with a crowd who wanted to celebrate something probably not miraculous, but the product of magical thinking. x WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump makes 1st public appearance since hospital release; White House won't say if he's still contagious with virus.— Jonathan Lemire (@JonLemire) October 10,...

x Biden: “I’m not going to make any news today. I’m not going to talk about anything other than 9/11. We took all our advertising down. It’s a solemn day. That’s how we’re going to keep it, OK? You can determine whether I make news but I’m not going to...
Oh, my God. I’m going to tear each and every one of my laugh muscles. They’re gonna have to put me in a body cast until Donald Trump’s purpling corpse is ferried back to Russia. Trump’s latest titanic boat parade is exactly that, apparently. x HAPPENING NOW: TCSO confirms multiple...

The good news is that the Trump clown show returns, ignoring how it gave us so many lies and even bizarreness like the bleach injecting. The supporting cast will probably be more ineffectual, considering how they’ve run out of gaslight. Trump thinks he can maintain ratings, what with 141,000 deaths...

You might think the most seismic fake conversion of all time was Donald Trump pretending to be a pro-life Christian conservative. (If you sprinkled holy water on him once a fortnight, the resulting chemical reaction could likely provide cheap, renewable energy for a mid-sized American city.) Well, according to a...
I write this from my experience this week. My husband was doing some regular chores around the house Wednesday and nothing seemed wrong at all. I had asked our daughter where he was when I didn’t see him outside where he had been. She said, “ I think he laid...

I don’t know about you, but I initially opposed both of George W. Bush’s post-9/11 wars — the Iraq campaign especially. Following the attacks of 9/11, a pitched battle arose between hawks and doves, with the former attempting to seize the moral high ground and ultimately winning the hearts and...

Back when Donald Trump was just a dangerously uninformed civilian instead of a dangerously uninformed pr*sident, he thought negotiating with the Taliban — “our sworn enemy” — was a huge mistake. Now? Let’s invite them to Camp David for “secret” negotiations just prior to 9/11! And then announce on Twitter that...
