If Chicago beats Milwaukee tonight, every city sending a ballclub to the MLB championships is either Canadian or a Democratic-run hellscape rife with antifa violence and interspecies copulation. It gives an Oriole fan hope knowing how poorly our president speaks of Baltimore.

Wait 'til next year.

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

I know this isn’t so relevant here but I have to say it before I burst

POLITICS ISN’T LIKE FOOTBALL. YOU DON’T PICK A TEAM THEN FANATICALLY EXCUSE THEM WHEN THE GOALIE PUNCHES A POLICE HORSE AND THE STRIKER TAKES DIRTY MONEY FROM RUSSIA, SCREECHING ‘BUT THE OTHER SIDE TRIPPED SOMEONE UP, ONCE TOO’

A Nobel story just popped up on one of my memories feed things. Still makes me laugh.

"They're like, 'Sir, there's something in your bag.'
I said, 'Yes, I think it's this box.' They said, 'What's in the box?' I said, 'a large gold medal, as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, 'What's it made out of?' I said, 'gold.'
And they're like, 'Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?'
"The King of Sweden.'
"Why did he give this to you?'
Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.'

Cancer immunity in a shot.

Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation.

It is now moving into Phase 1 pediatric trials.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

They're putting Frank Bisignano in charge of the IRS now.

This is the same guy who's overseen late checks, long lines, and closed offices at the Social Security Administration.

If he can screw up your Social Security, he can screw up your taxes.

And that's kind of the point.

I hope the Trump Regime and Maga remember that our new and tiny nation revolted against this in 1776…and it was about oppressive taxes on tea.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.

In a Chicagoland Suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE agents and a cameraman surround a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demand his ID and they threatene...
