Nation Turns 250 Despite Presence Of Irish https://theonion.com/nation-turns-250-despite-presence-of-irish/

These Catholics are not merely “traditionalist.” They specifically reject the Catholic Church’s statement in Vatican II that Jews do not as a people bear responsibility for the killing of Christ. They want the Church to return to its roots in historical anti-Judaism.

Trump as a two-term president is like some Bialystock and Bloom scheme where a guy says and does all the wrong things yet succeeds wildly.

"Trump went on to acknowledge that the GOP could face heavy midterm losses if the world was allowed to continue through November."

Wow, how have I never heard of this show? Written by Yip Harburg & Harold Arlen. DIrected by Bobby Lewis, produced by David Merrick. Orig cast not only featured Horne, but Ossie Davis, Ricardo Montalban, and--as "lead dancer"--one Alvin Ailey! And not a flop, ran for over a year.

“To no one’s surprise, the Democrats and their socialist allies botched America’s 250th anniversary with a so-called celebration that absolutely no one showed up for,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Before Broadway success Loesser worked a lot on the war effort, including the hit song "Praise the Lord & Pass the Ammunition." Another wartime project was Ben Hecht's "We Will Never Die," for which he wrote lyrics for a "Battle Song of the Warsaw Ghetto," which I documented here: tiny.cc/o1u5101

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, about this use of her grandfather's work. She writes: "It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."

The White House grounds look like the Pride Lands after Scar became king

I heard that there are thousands and thousands of cases of Rep. Claudia Tenney drowning kittens in her kitchen sink. It happens all the time. But Rep. Claudia Tenney will tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it.

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

Hegseth aligning himself rather directly with the soldiers *defending* the beaches at Normandy, who were, and you might find this surprising, not the Americans or Canadians or British, but rather, and this is interesting, the

Lesley Stahl is 84 years old, Bill Whitaker is 74. Have some SELF-RESPECT and follow your colleague out the door. Both of these people likely have more money than they know what to do with.

What To Know About Pope Leo’s Encyclical On AI https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-pope-leos-encyclical-on-ai/

The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.

Trump's frequent trips to Walter Reed raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.

They should do that Jubilee show with the Pope. Like "1 Pope vs 20 Conservatives Catholics Who Just Converted."

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

can't imagine why this wapo opinions video isn't doing well on youtube! (one of them tells us he went to harvard within the first 30 seconds, i shit you not)

Please ask him how exactly does he *know* this. How does *anyone* know this? Who's collecting data on teenage boys' sperm counts? (Both now and in 1970.) Also, dare we ask *how* it is/was collected???

Yes, people forget that Ted Turner only created TCM after being surprised by the huge backlash against his colorization campaign. He did a total 180.

The one big thing this guy could do to relieve depression in America is to quit and disappear. This nonsense he’s pushing will, like all his other pet policies, greatly increase many people’s suffering and mortality. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

The real death panel was Mike Johnson's House majority.

Yes Jack Klugman was the original Herbie in Gypsy at 37 years old. Even though he couldn't sing a note. Film debut in Lumet's "12 Angry Men" two years earlier. Great origin story: grew up in Philly slums, fled to Pittsburgh to escape loan sharks, ended up at Carnegie Mellon drama school by accident.

“What has gone missing are the institutional consequences that disapproval used to trigger. Public opinion is working. The machinery that once converted public opinion into accountability is not. The jury came back. The foreman spoke and then everyone went out to lunch, including the accused.”

The Sovietization of Texas public universities continues at breakneck speed.

To be clear: These people want us dead. Erasing us from history makes erasing us from the present easier, because if we don't have a past or a heritage, how real can we possibly be?

"A powerful cohort of vengeful racists has targeted one of the US's leading anti-racist organisations, but why? An investigation."

In Trump DHS, you can apparently hop from "FEMA Policy Analyst, Region 2" directly to Deputy Assistant Secretary in charge of counterterrorism. www.thedailybeast.com/top-donald-t...

Christian politicians accusing Jewish politicians of being antisemitic for being less pro-Israel than they are is the logical endpoint of our current discourse on antisemitism.

Our very stupid and annoying "Pope" is at it again. He should drive his dumb little car up his own fucking ass. Fuck you! - The President

Usha Vance Catches Husband Measuring Her Skull Again

Ha. He's talking about Tracy Letts.

Wild that both Billy Dee Williams and Giancarlo Esposito had signifcant stage credits as child actors in Bway & Bway-level productions.

1. I know the idea of "norms" went out with Cheers and technically there's no law about presidential medical disclosures, but the White House and its doctors covering up the president's true medical condition ought to be a Watergate-level scandal

The bargain is clear. As with the Trump admin campaign against "campus antisemitism," Jewish academics are to present only narratives that bolster American exceptionalism, by refusing to relate the Shoah to anything contemporary, or by constructing a "Judeo-Christian" US heritage, as Tikvah does.

The Trump admin muzzling the Holocaust Memorial Museum, while giving the largest grant in the history of the National Endowment to the Humanities, makes the strategy clear. They want to turn academic Jewish Studies into a ward of the state.

every NYT headline is like…They expected pee: poo greeted them instead

Nice to see the term "race suicide" lives on. Even when just echoed.

This job description calling for "5-7 articles a day" seems already tailored to an AI bot. Or at least a writer who relies heavily on AI. The transition is already happening.

These AI acolytes may pose behind "just trying to help" advice but make no mistake, their agenda is definitely to replace the "inefficiency" of a human author's research & process with a more streamlined low-cost/ maxumum-output model for all mass publishing "content." That's the dream.

Maybe a guy who believes people can be teleported places is not someone you want running FEMA disaster response.

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

To a base that is 75% divorced dads who don’t talk to their kids, this is Churchillian.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
