CNN and the Ukraine ‘Crisis’

Today, mainly out of curiosity but also perhaps revealing a deep-seated masochistic tendency, I switched my office TV to CNN, where today there were three main stories: (a) the walls are still closing in on Trump, (b) the sentencing of the cop who accidentally shot Daunte Wright in Minnesota, and (c) ZOMG THE CRISIS IN […]

Who’s Afraid of President Crackpipe?

Our Commander-in-Chief never served in the military. He was never the sharpest tool in the shed, and his cognitive capacity has visibly declined in recent years. His chief foreign-policy accomplishment is surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban, and he’s less popular than Jimmy Carter. So, yeah, I’m sure Vladmir Putin is just scared to death: President […]

Ukraine Freakout: Is This for Real?

While on the one hand, I’m not a paranoid conspiracy theorist, on the other hand I am very cynical about politics, which is why I am somewhat hesitant to accept that all this media noise about Ukraine is legit: President Joe Biden plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, a person familiar […]

Aspiring Rapper Update

Readers may have forgotten Timothy Nathaniel Leeks, but last November, the 22-year-old was arrested in the fatal shooting of rapper Dayvon Bennett, a/k/a “King Von,” outside an Atlanta hookah bar. It’s been two months since our last Aspiring Rapper Update, and I know that many of our readership may have been disappointed in the dearth […]

Biden’s Bagram Bungle

During yesterday’s press conference, Our Alleged President tried to argue with Peter Doocy. Biden wanted to argue that, because Trump negotiated a deal last year with the Taliban, everything currently going wrong in Afghanistan is Trump’s fault. Doocy wasn’t buying any of that, and in response, Biden seemed to collapse. As Jim Treacher says, “It […]

BIDEN LIED, AMERICANS DIED

Wonder how his media sycophants will spin this? At least 12 U.S. troops were killed Thursday in Kabul, marking the largest single-day loss of life for American soldiers in Afghanistan in ten years. “Two US officials say 11 Marines and a Navy medic were killed in the Afghanistan attacks,” the Associated Press reported Thursday afternoon. Previously, the […]
