BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

Today's Apple News Audio has a gushing, fawning, suck-up, totally distorted report by some NBC News hack.

But but but butโ€ฆFred Smith was a big trumper, and itโ€™s safe to assume his progeny are, too. They should be all in on anything their dear leader does.

She didn't need "redemption" (look up the definition) or anything else--especially as judged by you buffoons.

Sadly, the 2026 team's self-demeaning postgame activities will be what is remembered.

He's a buffoon, but unfortunately, not a harmless one.

The trump-maga crowd gets away with any and everything so far, Democrats and progressives refuse to vote for opponents that don't 1000% reflect their position, so why not? What's the disincentive?

If you wanted to criticize USA athletes, it should have been the USA men's ice hockey team for their post-game behavior, sucking-up to trump, patel, and maga, and their blatant misogyny.

In today's Apple News Today podcast, they and their guest "expert" from @theathletic.com continued the idiotic know-nothing media practice of characterizing the US Winter Olympics performance as "underwhelming," "falling short," and failing to meet "too lofty" expectations.

When did "infer" become synonymous with "imply?" Per Dictionary.com: "The verb imply means 'to indicate or suggest something without actually stating it.' The verb infer commonly means 'to guess or use reasoning to come to a conclusion based on what has been suggested.'โ€

Here are a couple I've probably said at one time or another: โ€œDenim is a love that never fades,โ€ or โ€˜โ€™Fashion fades, but denim is forever!โ€™โ€™

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

The final night of the #2026WinterOlympics on #NBC and we finally see a Stanley Tucci "segment." Just a mash-up, no descriptions, no explanations, nada--and of course, snoop had to be thrown in.

Albertville, France, 1992, were the last winter games held in the same year as the summer games. The next Winter Olympics were two years later in Lillehammer, Norway. Albertville was the first Olympics without compulsory figures, and the last time long-track speed skating was on an outdoor track.

The Golden Rule in the New Testament is essentially โ€œBe nice to each other.โ€ Note that it doesnโ€™t say people will return the favor.

I doubt that, but what you said is another way of saying "trump tariffs caused dramatic consumer price increases."
