Mainstream media gets nothing from caving to Trump
The mainstream media treated President Donald Trump’s extremely narrow win in 2024 as if it were a landslide victory. While it was surprising that so many people voted for Trump after his disastrous first term, it wasn’t like had been given a massive mandate from the public. But soon after Trump’s victory, the press—which already spent years normalizing Trump’s racist and corrupt…

The real soundtrack of America
President Donald Trump has trundled his way—in pathetic fits and starts—through a caricature of America, one with his own extremely limited personal soundtrack. It’s filled with Lee Greenwood, Italian classics from the weird conservative guy who wrecks opera songs, and Kash Patel’s girlfriend bellowing a pitchy “Star-Spangled Banner.” But what about the real soundtrack of America?
Meet the wildest House primary of 2026
This midterm election cycle has delivered us a number of unhinged primaries. There was the Texas barnburner between Republican Sen. John Cornyn and corrupt state Attorney General Ken Paxton. In South Carolina, Rep. Nancy Mace’s erratic behavior dragged down her bid to become governor.

Afraid of getting booed, Trump bails on World Cup
Well, we don’t have to play the will-he-or-won’t-he game about President Donald Trump’s attendance at the World Cup round of 16 in Seattle, where the United States will face off against Belgium. It turns out that both Trump and Vice President JD Vance are too chickenshit to travel to the terrifying no-go zone of Seattle to watch the game. It’s kind of weird that the White House isn’…

What fresh (construction) hell is this?
Honestly, this is getting exhausting. Every day—like, literally every day by now—we see evidence of some new desecration of the White House. One of the most galling things about this latest indignity is that we don’t actually know what is happening here, because why would we ever know about the workings of our government these days? All we know for sure is that there was suddenly some…
Fox News’ lies exposed by weak attendance at Trump’s ‘state fair’
