Meanwhile, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is under fire for taking her staff to a strip club in Portland and keeping a stash of booze in her office.

It's like this entire administration is a coke-fueled key party.

A Pilot Fired Over Kristi Noemโ€™s Missing Blanket and the Constant Chaos Inside DHS Secretary faces fire for confrontational immigration crackdown and self-promotional style; White House to wind down Minnesota operations.

Just to keep it straight ...

It's Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security who's allegedly having a barely concealed affair with her married aide who tried to fire a Coast Guard pilot for not turning their luxury jet around mid-flight to go back and get her blankie ...

Understanding pre-Code movies gets easy after seeing MGMโ€™s sultry romance Red Dust, submits Glenn Erickson of CineSavant. The big draw is cock oโ€™ the walk Clark Gable, who gets to flex his mustache with both Mary Astor and newly-crowned sex star Jean Harlow.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Without Lucille Ball, Nichelle Nichols, Majel Barrett or DC Fontana Star Trek wouldnโ€™t have lasted past TOS.

It only takes a minute -- "hey, my students really loved your book!" hit send -- but it makes all the difference in the world.

As a normal human, headlines like this make me wonder what went wrong with so many people that they can live in a world where this is true to them.

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

Trump has perverted the Department of Justice, turning it into his own personal law firm, so this is just acknowledging in the crudest terms what they've done to it.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

Yeah, man, that's the way.

Tell us how sad it is to hold elite pedophiles to account for their crimes, that's exactly what an innocent and uninvolved person would say.

I just explained to my students that crooked politicians always like to use the passive voice to avoid accountability, and this is a pretty solid example.

Exonerated by whom, sir? When? How?

2021 Spanish comedy MAGICAL CHRISTMAS (CUIDADO CON LO QUE DESEAS), sometimes known as BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, now on Roku Channel and Amazon Prime, the first time it's been available legally in the U.S.

Kids wish for their parents to disappear, but a snowman comes to life instead.

Saw a video that said โ€œHey Gen X, Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and was set in 1963. If it came out today it would be set in 2002.โ€ Did that math and I am extremely sorry to report that it does, indeed, check out. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

The possibility that pre-Elon Twitter was limiting the reach of conservative tweets was the greatest story in the history of journalism, while a vast network of sex trafficking pedophiles that included billionaires, celebrities and two presidents is just a big yawn.

I don't think there's any real legal incentive, but it'd be great if Prince Andrew decided to incriminate one of his co-conspirators now.

Herbert Hoover was horrible. In fairness, we could say that he caught a lot of the blame for presiding over the wreckage created by the disastrous policies of his predecessor Calvin Coolidge.

But this McArdle take is white hot garbage.

I continue to believe that the inevitable J.D. Vance presidential campaign will be destroyed when someone fills one of these awkward pauses by simply yelling "you suck, dork!"

Oh, the purpose of the attack would be to deflect from the 38,000 times he's mentioned in the Epstein Files.

Oh, you meant the cover story they'll give for the attack. Sorry!
