Episode 1236 – The Issue Is Not Nuanced Or Complex

I know I said I would keep this podcast about the uncommon new stories. The ones no one is talking about but we should pay attention to. Well, sometimes there are publicized stories that are just way too stupid to ignore. Let’s go over a bunch of them.

She’s Their Candidate?

According to the Post Millennial:

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed on Saturday that she has decided to freeze her eggs, sharing the decision publicly in a post on Instagram and accusing the Trump administration of “punishing” women on the issue of pregnancy.

“And as women in general, we are not taught about our bodies, we are not prepared for our own lives, whether that is in puberty, whether that is in pregnancy, whether that is in perimenopause, menopause, whether that is in so many different aspects of our lives.”

What is she talking about?

“In the political context that we’re in, in an administration that is dedicated to politicizing women’s bodies and taking our choices away from us and punishing us around decisions to be pregnant or not be pregnant — and, frankly, this administration has made pregnancy more dangerous than probably at any point in the last 30 plus years — we’re gonna take our power back.”

The only ones politicizing women’s bodies is the Left. No one on the Right is preventing her from getting pregnant the natural way.

The congresswoman framed her decision within the debate over abortion, criticizing the current administration and saying women are currently in a “dangerous” position.

She also argued that women in politics face questions about their age and plans to have children in ways men do not.

God, she’s dumb. She freezing her eggs to have a baby when her body will not allow her to have a baby because of abortion rights. Wouldn’t make more sense if she got pregnant and shouted her abortion or something?

“This is just not something that men deal with. Men run for office, or frankly, they interview for jobs and people don’t think in the back of their mind, ‘OK this guy’s running for office, how old is he? Oh, well is he gonna wanna start a family?’ This is a choice I am making to feel more in control of my life.”

Well, people don’t ask men why they don’t have babies because men can’t have babies. And J.D. Vance just had another child with his wife. That was talked about.

Some things:

  • This is gross.
  • There is no reason she should do this. She’s young enough and, supposedly, has a finace.
  • She says that she may have kids 10 years from now. That would make her almost 50. What kind of life is that for a kid to have two senior citizens as kids?
  • During the video, she says “Don’t be weird about this.” Is she kidding me? She’s injecting herself on video and sharing it. She’s the weird one.
  • She looks crazy.
  • She looks dumb.
  • She looks fat.
  • She’s running for President. That’s why she’s promising not to get pregnant for 10 years.

They Deserve This!

Some things:

  • He is 6’10”, 250 lbs. and is 34 years old.
  • He played in the NBA for 11 years averaging 10 points and 8 rebounds per game. He was a good player.
  • He quit the NBA for political reasons.
  • He will dominate the WNBA,

The more entertaining WNBA prospect is Royce White. He has also put his hat into the draft next year. He decided to wear a wig because he discovered his inner femininity.

Here’s his announcement on Fox News:

https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/2086485017677488435/video/1

Some things:

  • Royce White is 35 years old.
  • He is 6’8″ and weighs 260 lbs.
  • He played in the NBA for 6 years and was the 16th overall pick in 2012.
  • He never played much in the NBA but averaged 14 point per game and 9 rebounds per game.
  • He is for the Senate as a Republican in 2024.

But he is really enjoying this. He has been making the podcast circuit wearing a wig and making the WNBA’s stance look stupid.

Here he is, saying his fear of flying was there because his inner woman was trying to be free.

I love it. He wants to “glow” the league.

Well, the WNBA is really worried about this. They decided to have an emergency meeting next week to discuss the criteria involved when joining the league.

According to the Post Millennial:

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has called for the league to hold discussions about transgender-identifying athletes competing in women’s basketball following ongoing controversy and the recent announcement of two former NBA players seeking WNBA draft eligibility.

Englebert sent a memo to WNBA teams on Friday to address the issue, according to ESPN.

“I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention,” the memo said. “I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.”

Engelbert said the issue will also be discussed next week at a previously scheduled meeting that includes team presidents and general managers.

“We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic, and we will continue to have important conversations with all of you and the Players Association in the weeks and months ahead,” Engelbert added in the memo. “We also plan to convene additional discussions and offer listening sessions for any team leaders who would like to participate. Your perspectives and feedback are invaluable, and I appreciate those who have already reached out to share their thoughts.”

The debate over transgender athletes within the WNBA community erupted after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham publicly supported prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports. Her comments prompted protests and criticism, including from some team executives and coaches across the league who opposed her position.

The controversy escalated further after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White announced that they intended to declare for the WNBA Draft while identifying as women. The announcements were widely interpreted as intentionally provocative efforts to draw attention to the WNBA’s eligibility rules, which lack a clear definition of who qualifies as a woman and could include biological men who claim to be women.

On Friday, the Women’s National Basketball Players Association released a statement emphasizing its commitment to “justice equity, diversity, and inclusion.”

Episode 1135 – This Ideology Is Not Going Away!

It’s Gay Day on Dumbasses Talking Politics today!

Why do we need to keep talking about this? Well, our last story will give you the answer.

It Ain’t Over

According to Reduxx:

A trans-identified male racking up wins in girls’ sports in California has been identified as the brother of a prominent US Olympian. Jaylin Liu is the brother of gold medal-winning figure skater Alysa Liu.

Jaylin appears to have previously gone by the name “Joshua,” and appears to have begun identifying as female relatively recently. Some news articles on his sister’s Olympic successes still refer to him by his birth name, while other profiles have been quietly updated to reflect his new name.

Since the 2025 outdoor athletic season, Jaylin has been participating in girls’ sports on teams at both Albany High School and El Cerrito High School in California.

At Albany, Jaylin took eight separate first-places spots at seasonal meets and races in 2025. He seized a silver medal at the NCS Bayshore Championship in the 400-meter race, and a gold in the 2025 Tri-County Athletic League Frosh-Soph Championship 200-meter race.

This year, Jaylin has continued to outperform his female competitors, and has taken first place at every 200- and 400-meter girls race he’s participated in for Albany. This includes a first place finish at the Tri-County Athletic League Finals that were held on May 8.

He is currently ranked the best “female” runner on his team in the 200- and 400-meter race, and the best “female” runner in the Tri-County Athletic League in the quarter-mile.

In addition to participating in girls track and field, Jaylin has been active in girls varsity basketball and ultimate frisbee. He recently boasted of winning a silver medal at a basketball championship, and played for El Cerrito High School at the recent Ultimate High School National Invite, which was held from June 12-13 in Oregon.

Later in the article, we learn more about Liu:

Jaylin was one of five children born to surrogates, though he had a different egg donor than his Olympian sister Alysa. The children’s father, Arthur Liu, has said that he explicitly sought out white egg donors for his children.

Arthur was briefly married to a much older woman named Qing Xin Yan, who also goes by the name Mary. While she was the legal guardian for Arthur’s children and helped raise them when they were young, she is not biologically related to any of them.

Yan is a former high-ranking member of the Zhong Gong, a “spiritual movement” which is designated as a cult in China. Zhong Gong practitioners reject modern medical science and believe meditative practices can cure illness and give people supernatural abilities. Yan was married to the founder of the movement, Hong Bao Zhang, for 12 years. In 2003, Yan sued Zhang for $23 million, alleging he had abused her while they were married. Arthur Liu was her lawyer.

Put up or Shut Up!

According to the New York Post:

French transgender basketball player Julie Tetart wouldn’t turn down an offer to play in the WNBA amid debates on the participation of trans athletes in women’s sports.

The 34-year-old Tetart, who came out as trans in October 2021, plays in Monaco.

“If they contact me, I won’t say no. But you have to be realistic: I’m old, and there are far better players than me!” Tetart told OutKick over Instagram direct messages on Monday.

In the 2025-26 season, Tetart led France’s second-tier Ligue 2 in both scoring and rebounding — en route to Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year accolades.

Tetart averaged 21.2 points, 20.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

She’s Damaged Goods

This Is What I Fear

According to Reduxx:

A Brazilian influencer has been handed a two-year prison sentence after using male pronouns to refer to a transgender politician. Bianca Barreto received her sentence from the 9th Criminal Court of Salvador on July 29, after she was found guilty of the “intentional and pejorative use of the gender opposite… [to a] self-declared identity.”

The sentence follows a lengthy case stemming from a 2024 video posted to social media by Barreto. In the video, she criticized Duda Salabert, a member of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies. Salabert is a member of the left-wing Socialism and Liberty Party, and was one of the first openly trans-identified people to be elected to the Chamber, serving since 2022.

Barreto’s video described an earlier case involving Salabert and conservative parliamentarian Nikolas Ferreira. Ferreira, another member of the Chamber of Deputies, stood in the same election as Salabert in 2020 to be a local councillor for the city of Belo Horizonte. At the time, Salabert was the first trans-identified person to run for office to the city council.

In an interview during the campaign, Ferreira told a local newspaper that he will still refer to Salabert with male pronouns.

“He is a man. That’s what’s on his birth certificate, regardless of what he thinks,” he said, while in another interview saying he wasn’t worried about being sued by Salabert for his remarks. “It’s biology. I’m not saying something I think. He is a man. And it’s important to make it clear that there is no criminalization related to biology,” he added.

However, Salabert did file a criminal complaint against Ferreira, referencing the fact that Brazil’s Supreme Court had classified transphobia and homophobia as crimes of “social racism” since 2019. The case was later dismissed on procedural grounds, but in a separate civil action, Ferreira was forced to pay R$80,000 in 2023, equivalent to around $15,500 USD, reduced on appeal to R$30,000.

Episode 1133 – No, The Dodgers Are NOT Ruining Baseball!

There is a book called The Camp of the Saints about the third invading Europe and the consequences to Western Civilization. Guess what? This book, written in 1974, is happening today. We should really pay attention to this.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken another step towards a third straight World Series title. A lot of people are whining that the Dodgers are ruining baseball, but are they? Some who know baseball say, “no.”

And our courts, once again, prove we are living in a two-tiered justice system.

There’s A Book About This

According to Perplexity:

The most likely reference is the Ceuta border incident in late July 2026, when tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy military and police forces. Spain described it as a breach of territorial integrity, while some politicians called it an “invasion.”

What happened

Reports say roughly 49,000 to 60,000 people crossed into Ceuta over about a day, mostly by swimming or crossing on foot along the shoreline, overwhelming local facilities. At least 18 to 72 people died in the crossing attempts, depending on the report and date.

Why Ceuta matters

Ceuta is a small Spanish territory on the North African coast, so a mass crossing from Morocco creates an immediate border, security, and humanitarian crisis. The incident also revived debate over migration policy, border enforcement, and Spain-Morocco relations.

Historical meaning

If you meant a historical invasion, the closest major conflict is the Hispano-Moroccan War of 1859–1860, which began over border tensions involving Ceuta and was fought in northern Morocco.

Others pieces of information:

  • 72 people have died crossing.
  • Riots, murders, rapes and looting have occurred.
  • The people of Ceuta have been protesting.
  • The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, is full of shit.
    • He didn’t send the military. He sent 60 troops. CBS really had to work to prove there was a military presence.
    • The Sanchez government has offered complete amnesty including voting right for illegal aliens.
    • That’s because his government is corrupt and failing. Spain’s economy is a disaster.
    • He wanted this.

There is a book, called The Camp of the Saints , almost identically described what happened to Spain.

A Little Off Topic

You’ve Got to Be Kidding

According to the Daily Wire:

A non-English-speaking Ukrainian migrant killed two people while driving a semi-truck in Alabama after becoming distracted by his phone. Now, he’s getting off with a slap on the wrist.

Andrii Dmyterko recently took a plea deal, pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts of criminally negligent homicide, while prosecutors dismissed two felony charges of homicide by vehicle, Fox 10 reported. He received a sentence of two years in Clarke County jail and was credited for 430 days, meaning he will need to serve less than a year behind bars.

While behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler on May 6, 2025, Dmyterko crashed into four vehicles stopped at a red light, resulting in the deaths of two people. Dmyterko didn’t stop until his truck was roughly the length of two football fields from the crash scene.

The victims of the crash were later identified as Woodie Earl Beck III, 53, and Ashley Marie Springer McDonald, 37, according to AL.com.

In an effort to ensure the Ukrainian national stays locked up, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with local authorities in Alabama requesting that they hand him over upon his eventual release.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the Biden administration let Dmyterko into the country in 2024 through its humanitarian parole program for Ukraine.

Video Short: The More They Fight, The Crazier They Look!

As usual in our crazy society, someone makes a statement that is common sense and the Left has to scream and gnash their teeth.

Here’s the problem the Left has: The more they whine and scream, the crazier they look. I have some examples.

Sophie Cunningham

Sophie Cunningham is a WNBA star for the Indiana Fever. She started as kind of an unknown. Then Caitlan Clark joined the team and she became a star. Not because she’s great at basketball (She might be, I don’t know), but because she got sick and tired of seeing Clark getting the crap beaten out of her and she decided to fight back. This made her popular with the 72 WNBA fans out there because everyone could see that Clank was getting beaten up because the other players were jealous.

With her new-found Fame, something else came to view. Sophie Cunningham is hot. Blond, great body, spunky, everything men find attractive. Her dance videos on social media have blown up. TYoucould even bagshe is now more popular than Caitlin Clark. And, yea, she’s one of the 7 players in the WNBA that is straight.

There is also something else that makes her popular. She speaks her mind. When she does this, a lot of common sense comes out of her mouth, Here she Is, saying something that should be uncontroversial, which means it is extemily contraversial. Men shouldn’t be play by In women’s sports.

Some things:

  • For some reason, this has become a contraversial take.
  • I’m not sure why this question was asked, I don’t know.
  • By the way, there is no reason to believe she is a conservative. She has no problem with trans-people. She just doesn’t think trannies should be in women’s sports, restrooms, or locker rooms.
  • By the way, conservatives don’t care about trans people either. These guys are forcing this crap on us instead of just leaving us alone.
  • Stop calling everything a community. This is an overused word. Because a bunch of people share the same mental illness doesn’t make them a community.
  • Disagreeing with a position does not mean anyone is being targeted. In fact, it is the trannies that are targeting women.
  • She’s smart. Never apologize.
  • Only 1 out of 5 question were about basketball. You can’t hate the media enough. They’re creating the controversy.
  • Here’s the thing:
    • Sophie Cunningham is 6’1″, 156 pounds.
    • I am 5’7″, 177 pounds. I am in good shape.
    • If we were to get in a fight, who do you .think would win?
    • Men and women are different, no matter what anyone says or thinks. Even men in dresses.

Megan Rapinoe

Of course, the Left has to pull out the crazies to refute common sense. The View decided to bring on US Women’s Soccer star (retired) Megan Rapinoe to counter Cunningham’s argument. She goes on to say something absolutely insane.

Some things:

  • Wait, what?
    • What abuse is she talking about?
    • Why are people not watching women’s sports?
    • Just by not going to see women play sports is abuse. This is the victim mentality that feminists have.
    • By the way, this is the same “abuse” the trannies are talking about. You don’t believe in what the believe in and you’re abusing them, victimizing them.
  • Nobody is going after gay marriage, even though they could. The Roe vs. Wade decision and the gay marriage decision were terrible decisions.
  • We should because the gay marriage decision led to the emboldening of the trannies.
  • Unsafe from who? From men entering women’s spaces. That “from who.”
    • Show video of crazy trannie.
    • I don’t want a man in the same restroom as my wife or daughter. That shouldn’t be controversial.
    • By the way, Megan Rapinoe wouldn’t want a straight male walking into a restroom while she’s taking a dump.
  • The dumbest statement of the day: Kepping men out of women’s sports is sexist against women. You can’t make this shit up.
  • No, No, there is no bill in Congress that requires people to look at the genitals of women.
    • This is a common lie. They say it all the time.
    • This has been debunked years ago
  • Here’s the thing, Megan Rapinoe is a liar. She’s virtue signaling. She doesn’t believe a thing she’s saying.
    • She knows there’s a difference between men and women.
    • Her World Cup team lost to a U-15 boys team, 5-2. They got killed.
    • Outside of that, she never had to play against men in competition.
    • She never had to share a restroom of locker room with a man.
    • She retired. She never will. She has no skin in the game while she makes all these claims.
  • I guarentee you, she would have a different opinion if she ever had to deal with a trannie during a real competition.

The Pushback

Back to Sophie Cunningham, the trannies are pissed. Very pissed.

Here is a guy who thinks he’s a woman, deciding to burn his Sophie Cunningham jersey. I do wanty to point out before playing the video, this does convince trans people don’t have mental issues.

Let’s watch:

Some things:

  • I doubt this guy has ever been to a WNBA game.
  • That means he bought a jersey costing anywhere from $100-$150 just to burn it. This was pointed out, by the way.
  • Cunningham did not demonize trans people. No one said he couldn’t exist with his mental issues. Cunningham just didn’t agree with them.
  • He says it’s not about hate as he burns a jersey.
    • It is absolutely about hate.
    • In fact, the most dangerous people, outside of radical Islamist, are trannies.
    • I know the media is trying to debunk this, but a bunch of mass shooting over the past 10 years have been by trans people.

Episode 1228 – No, He’s Not Running

Left wing terrorism hits New York City…again.

The World Cup is over. Do any of us care?

And New York City is becoming Tijuana.

News

Here is some news:

  • There was a terrorist attack in New York City.
  • Two servicemen were killed from an Iranian attack on an airbase in Jordan. One is missing.
  • Spain wins the World Cup in a really boring final game.

This Is What They Consider “Progressive”

According to the New York Post:

A half-mile section of Washington Heights has been transformed into an open-air prescription drug bazaar, with brazen vendors illegally peddling painkillers, erectile dysfunction pills, and an array of other meds, The Post has learned.

The sprawling street pharmacy stretches across 10 square blocks, in and around West 179th to West 183rd streets and St. Nicholas Avenue with at least 20 vendors showcasing their wares in loose blister packs, boxes, and bottles strewn across dingy folding tables.

“Is it for an adult? You can take up to three a day until they’re all gone,” barked a vendor selling blister packs of the antibiotic amoxicillin for $5 a sheet.

A shopper who saw the pills chimed in with approval. “Those are really good! They’re powerful stuff. When there’s an infection, it cures it. When I give it to my grandson, I give him three a day!”

Amoxicillin was among the alarming cornucopia of pills available this week, including: erectile dysfunction meds Viagra and Cialis; Cataclofen Plus, for pain and inflammation; and antibiotic Ampicillin.

Some things:

  • This is third world shit.
  • Someone is going to die. There are reasons these drugs are controlled.
  • This is Zohran Mamdani’s New York City and his view for the world. No businesses run by any white people, but black market businesses run by third worlders.
  • By the way, this is what “equity” looks like to socialists. It is not to m=bring the world up, because that would be impossible. All those native cultures the Left is celebrating does not have the capacity or motivation to create a culture like the one in the United States.
  • The socialist movement is about hate of the United States and its destruction.
  • By the way, these drugs were all made in the United States.

They Don’t Have It!

Some things:

  • First off, medical funding should be completely left to the state. There is no reason why I, in California, should be paying for someone’s medical care in Illinois.
  • It’s way more than a billion dollars.
  • I want to see people in jail.

Dumbasses of the Day

Some things:

  • No one wants him to run except for Republicans. He has no chance.
  • He was fired from a failing news network. Trump ran a multi-billion dollar business. Lemon is an example of failure while Trump is an example of success.
  • This guy is accusing Trump of not listening? Has Don ever watched his own show?
  • No, he would not be a good president. He’s a moron.
  • As far as the money thing, all politicians say that.
  • As far as Trump not helping the working class people, only those with a 401K, 72% of the population have access to a 401K. Wouldn’t that mean he is helping a majority of working class people?
  • He’s not running. He has way too much baggage.

Episode 1226 – RIP, Lindsey!

Donald Trump appears to have learned his lesson when it comes to Iran. I wish he’d learn his lesson about the rest of the Middle East.

A California school has come up with an idea to solve climate change. Sorry guys, The Simpsons did it.

And Zohran Mamdani is trying to get all the white people out of New York.

Some News:

Here is some news:

  • Lindsey Graham, a 23-year US Senator, was 71 years old.
  • The United States continues to bomb Iran.
    • They have closed the straight of Hormuz to Iranian ships.
    • All other ships have to pay a toll to pass the straight.
  • A bipartisan push to make Daylight Saving Time permanent is heading for a chamber-wide vote after clearing a key House hurdle.
    • The House Rules Committee on Monday teed up a floor vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to enact Daylight Saving Time year-round — with an option to opt out. The committee approved the rule in a 6-4 vote.
    • The measure has the support of many coastal lawmakers and President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly urged Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and end the twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks — a practice currently observed by every state except Hawaii and most of Arizona.

The Simpson’s Did It!

According to the Daily Wire:

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have proposed a method to “dim the sun” in hopes of reducing the looming effects of El Niño, a recent study revealed. 

As reports of stronger El Niños — the natural warming of the Pacific Ocean that affects global weather — by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) continue, researchers at UC San Diego have determined that damages from the phenomenon could cost the global economy trillions of dollars.

To combat this, researchers in the journal Science Advances have proposed an extremely far-fetched form of “solar geoengineering” known as “marine cloud brightening.”

Injecting these particles into the clouds would hypothetically bounce the rays of the sun out of the atmosphere, preventing the water from heating up, which creates stronger El Niños. 

While some researchers blame global warming for the increasing strength of El Niño, the World Meteorological Association said that “there is no evidence that climate change increases the frequency or intensity of El Niño events,” the New York Post reported.

The proposal from UC San Diego comes after a 2023 study they conducted involved two computer MCB simulations applied to two real El Niño events in 1997 and 2015, per the Post. The study found that aerosols released from an Australian bushfire brightened the clouds and hindered the effects of El Niño. The simulations run by the research team applied the same method to 1997 and 2015, which increased cooling and drying effects by 40%.

Co-author and University of Chicago postdoctoral researcher Jessica Wan stated that the aerosols would have to be “deployed continuously for an indefinite period of time,” according to the Post. 

As of now, there are no real-world plans to test out the far-fetched hypothesis.

They Don’t Want Them

According to the New York Post:

The City Council’s Italian Caucus demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani amend his new immigrant enclaves map — which ignored Little Italy and other Italian-American areas of the five boroughs.

The caucus fumed Thursday over Mamdani’s map which didn’t list Italian enclaves — or big Irish and Jewish neighborhoods — but spotlighted 30 other areas, including Little Palestine, Koreatown, Little Pakistan and Little Odessa.

“You cannot tell the story of immigrant New York while airbrushing out one of the city’s most recognizable and historically significant immigrant communities,” the caucus said in a statement Thursday, calling the omission “incomplete at best and insulting at worst.”

The caucus said the Mamdani administration should work with historians and community groups so the next version of the map gives Italian‑Americans a fair shake.

A City Hall spokesperson said Wednesday that the map was designed to “highlight neighborhoods in New York City that have substantial foreign‑born populations from regions and countries around the world.”

The Italian Caucus pointed out Belmont in the Bronx, Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights in Brooklyn and Italian‑American pockets in Queens and Staten Island are also neighborhoods where Italian roots run deep.

None were mentioned in the map.

I Call BS

According to the Daily Wire:

Congressman Ro Khanna, the California Democrat considering a 2028 presidential bid, has spent the past week accusing Israeli settlers and soldiers of unlawfully detaining him and other Americans on an overseas trip.

On July 8th, Khanna joined a delegation organized by Breaking the Silence, a left-wing activist group known for its criticism of Israeli military operations and policies in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank. The group attempted to visit Khirbet Zanuta, a disputed site in the South Hebron Hills that has become a flashpoint in legal battles over unauthorized Arab construction. Israeli authorities designated the area a closed military zone, requiring advance coordination before entry.

According to Israeli authorities, the delegation had entered a closed military zone without prior authorization and was stopped by civilian security personnel coordinating with military forces. Video released after the incident appears to show Israeli soldiers directing the group to wait for police.

Khanna has described the encounter in far more dramatic terms. During a Fox News interview, he claimed “the only reason we’re safe” was because U.S. Embassy official David Brownstein contacted senior Israeli officials.

Khanna has not publicly provided evidence that members of the delegation faced an imminent threat to their lives.

Khanna claimed that “Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.”

Available footage from Khanna’s group shows armed local security personnel carrying rifles on slings, but does not appear to show weapons being drawn or pointed at members of the delegation.

Naomi Kahn of Regavim, an Israeli advocacy group that tracks illegal Arab building in Judea and Samaria, said Khanna used the situation as a publicity stunt.

This Is Equity

According to the New York Post:

The U.S. women’s national team won’t play a World Cup match until 2027, but it is still set to receive a major payday from this year’s big tournament.

The U.S. men’s national team earned $16 million from FIFA for reaching the round of 16 before being eliminated by Belgium in a 4-1 loss in Seattle. Under U.S. Soccer’s landmark equal pay collective bargaining agreements, that money will be shared with the women’s national team.

U.S. Soccer keeps 20 percent of the prize money. The remaining 80 percent is split evenly between the men’s and women’s player pools, meaning each team is set to receive $6.4 million from the USMNT’s run. Based on 26-player rosters, that comes out to roughly $246,153 per player.

The women’s share will not be paid immediately.

The USWNT has not yet qualified for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, and the final roster will not be selected until closer to the tournament. Until then, the money owed to the women will sit in an interest-bearing account, with that interest also split between both player pools.

She’s Going to Retire

According to the New York Post:

Caitlin Clark’s season has been dominated by the headlines surrounding the physical play she’s faced.

Now, a group of United States lawmakers is trying to make its voices heard with the WNBA.

Led by Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (Texas), a cohort of congressional representatives wrote a letter to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert over what they have called “repeated acts of unnecessary physical hostility and violence” toward the Fever star.

The 11 Republican lawmakers said Clark has faced aggression on the court and outside the court on social media, and it’s time for the league to do a better job officiating things in real time.

“Clark has been hip-checked, poked in the eye, and struck in the throat during games,” the letter read. “These incidents go far beyond routine physical play, yet the WNBA and its officiating have too often failed to address these unacceptable incidents and hold players accountable. Recently, a player even appeared to endorse violence against Clark in a social media post, further fueling concerns about the culture surrounding these incidents.

“In addition, concerning reports suggest that many of these attacks against Caitlin Clark may be racially motivated.”

Things came to a head on June 24 — and the ensuing days — when Clark and the Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas went for a loose ball, and as Clark went to the floor, she was hit in the throat.

Thomas was not called for a foul on the play. However, a day later, she was retroactively handed a flagrant 2 foul and a one-game suspension.

Episode 1216 – That’s Why the SPLC Is Being Investigated!

A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.

A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.

And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to Fox News:

The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.

Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.

A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.

The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.

Later in the article:

Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.

Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.

One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-disrupts-alleged-explosive-drone-plot-targeting-white-house-ufc-event-officials-say

That’s Why They Are Being Investigated!

According to the Post Millennial:

DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.

According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.

The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDash’s charitable giving system.

The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLC’s classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employees’ charitable giving options.

Well, It’s About Time!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.

The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.

In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

In May, Newsom announced plans to make California the first state to provide “free diapers” to newborns leaving the hospital — funneling the money for the program through a nonprofit headed by a friend of California’s self-described “First Partner,” The Daily Wire previously reported.

Baby2Baby co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s group “California Partners Project” — and it’s Baby2Baby that will take point on the $20 million diaper project, which is supposed to provide every family leaving the hospital with a newborn with 400 diapers.

It’s Coming to an End…Finally!

According to ESPN:

Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”

San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4⅔ innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”

“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that … There’s no hate at all,” he told reporters. “It’s just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.”

“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16

Roupp brought up:

  • JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
  • Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
  • The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
  • Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) – Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but it’s now cited as part of the same pattern.
  • Jason Adam
  • Jalen Beeks
  • Brooks Raley
  • Jeffrey Springs
  • Ryan Thompson
  • Blake Treinen (Dodgers pitcher)

Episode 1215 – It Was A Pretty Awesome Weekend!

Trump announces that we have a deal with Iran that will end the war. I am having my doubts.

Elon Musk passes a major milestone and everyone on the Left is really ticked off about it.

And we had a huge sports weekend. Let’s talk about that.

Yeah. I’ll Wait and See

Some things:

  • It’s not a peace deal. It’s a memorandum of understanding.
  • No information about the deal has been released.
  • Hezbollah attacked Israel on Saturday, presumably on orders of Iran.
  • Who likes this deal? Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran.
  • They SHOULD NOT be holding a signing ceremony.

Congrats Elon!

According to the Mary Sue:

Elon Musk has officially broken the record for becoming the world’s first trillionaire. Online reactions have varied, with some congratulating Musk and others criticizing the obscene wealth he has amassed.

According to Bloomberg, Tesla and SpaceX founder became the world’s richest man in history after his net worth reached $1.1 trillion. SpaceX managed to raise $75 billion in an initial public offering (IPO) after its trading launch on Friday. When the market closed, Musk’s shares in SpaceX were worth $767.1 billion. He also held $53.8 billion in SpaceX options. Musk’s trillionaire status is further solidified by his holdings of $168 billion in Tesla shares and $116.4 billion in options.

Some things:

  • Elon Musk does not have a trillion dollars.
  • He has stocks that are worth a trillion.
  • The stocks are volatile. They go up and down.
  • He takes a salary of about $60,000 a year. The rest of his salary comes in the form of stocks.
  • He cannot sell the stocks to get his trillion dollars because the shares would plummet.
  • Basically, by him owning stocks, he is reinvesting into his own company.

The responses were hysterical and economically naieve:

One comment on X sarcastically reads, “Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare.”

“Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire while he single-handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren weighed in and called for action. She wrote on X, “Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk’s level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has been vocal against billionaires, also raised opposition to Musk’s newly gained status. He said on X, “Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.”

Dumbass of the Day

Somethings:

  • She has no idea what masculinity is. She’s a woman.
  • You know what men don’t talk about? How they are masculine.
  • I wonder if this “journalist” would ask Brad Pitt what he thought about his masculinity? She wouldn’t.
  • Eliot’s (Ellen) mannerisms are all feminine.
  • This is the most feminine conversation ever.

What Would Happen If They Lost

According to Perplexity:

New York saw large, chaotic street celebrations that turned violent in parts of Midtown Manhattan, especially around Times Square and near Madison Square Garden, after the Knicks clinched their first NBA title in 53 years.

When and where it happened

  • The unrest began late Saturday night, June 13, 2026, shortly after the Knicks won the championship in Game 5.
  • Crowds swelled to tens of thousands in Midtown, centered around Madison Square Garden, Broadway, and Times Square (roughly 34th–43rd Streets, between about 5th and 9th Avenues).

Scale: arrests and injuries

  • NYPD reports 63 arrests tied to the celebrations, with charges including assault on a police officer, weapons possession, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration.
  • Ten NYPD officers were injured; incidents included one officer punched in the face and another hit with a glass bottle.
  • A 17‑year‑old was shot near 42nd–43rd Street and Broadway; police transported him in an NYPD vehicle because an ambulance could not get through the crowd. He was reported injured but alive/expected to survive.
  • Police and media also reported four stabbing or slashing incidents during the mayhem.

Property damage and specific incidents

  • Five yellow school buses, being used as World Cup shuttles, were either set on fire or heavily damaged (windows smashed, people jumping on roofs, battering them with bats) in and around Times Square.
  • Several NYPD vehicles were damaged, with windshields smashed and people climbing on top of cars.
  • Private vehicles and some storefronts in Midtown also suffered broken windows and other vandalism, according to police descriptions of “criminal mischief” and on‑scene reporting.
  • Fireworks were lit in dense crowds, and people were seen climbing light poles, scaffolding, and statues, further adding to safety concerns.

Police response and crowd dynamics

  • NYPD had anticipated trouble based on earlier playoff‑round incidents and deployed officers in riot gear, including mounted units, into Times Square and the blocks north of Madison Square Garden.
  • As celebrations grew, police described the crowd as becoming “increasingly destructive,” with officers moving in to disperse people blocking intersections, riding on vehicles, and refusing orders to clear the streets.
  • The bulk of the citywide crowds were celebratory and non‑violent, but a smaller subset engaged in the most serious property destruction and assaults, which is what generated the “mayhem” and “chaos” framing in coverage.

Context and open questions

  • This was the Knicks’ first championship since 1973, so the city had not experienced this specific kind of title‑driven street celebration in more than five decades.
  • There is not yet a finalized, detailed after‑action report from NYPD or the city breaking down arrests by exact charge, demographics, and geography, but outlets consistently cite the 63‑arrest figure, 10 injured officers, one shooting victim, and four stabbing victims.

Episode 1214 – Street Journalism Is Finding the Grift in California!

An incredible story comes out of Boston showing what liberal governance leads to. When you listen to the story, see if you can figure out what’s missing.

We all know that there was cheating in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Now, it looks like people are looking to prove it and it didn’t take long.

And the FIFA World Cup started yesterday and FIFA already has some egg on their faces.

This Is Pretty Incrdible

You Don’t Say

According to the New York Post:

A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.

The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.

One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.

In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.

Oh Well! See Ya!

According to the Post Millennial:

A Somali referee selected to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been barred from entering the United States after federal authorities discovered information linking him to suspected members of terrorist organizations.

Omar Artan, Somalia’s only referee appointed to the tournament, was denied admission after arriving at Miami International Airport from Istanbul on Saturday. According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Fox News, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered “derogatory” information during an inspection that rendered Artan inadmissible under federal immigration law.

In a statement provided to Fox News, the administration said, “This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country – full stop.”

The decision effectively ends Artan’s participation in the World Cup, which is being hosted in part by the United States. FIFA confirmed Monday that Artan would no longer take part in referee training or officiate matches during the tournament. The organization said it had been informed by US authorities that his immigration status would not be changed.

Now What Do They Do With Them

According to the Post Millennial:

DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who was charged with stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte light rail, has been found incompetent to stand trial, according to federal prosecutors. 

Brown, 34, appeared in federal court on Tuesday morning, where federal Judge Kenneth Bell found ruled that Brown did not understand the proceedings, and could not stand trial. During the hearing, Brown shouted about having “material in his body” and said that he was having a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the courthouse, per Queens City News. 

The judge, as the ruling came down, said, “[I] hope that what happens here will be accurately recorded by professional press and social media.” Brown was evaluated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago through the Bureau of Prison. 

After shouting during the hearing, he was escorted out of the room. He shouted more at the judge and asked if the judge had gotten a letter from his mother. The killer will now get medication as well as treatment in an effort to restore his competency for up to four months. 

If Brown is not found to be competent at that point, he may be held in federal custody under federal commitment laws. Another hearing may determine is he has to be forcibly medicated. The prosecutors in the case did not present any evidence in the 15-minutes hearing on Tuesday.  

“The court found that his prognosis is ‘good’ to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,” US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said. “The court ordered that he seek treatment and medication.”

Dumbass of the Day

Yeah, Now Do HUD

According to the New York Post:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSA’s board chair Wendy Greuel and its CEO Gita O’Neill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital. 

The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight, and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.

The move puts one of the country’s biggest homelessness bureaucracies under direct federal scrutiny after years of criticism that billions have gone into homelessness programs in Los Angeles while the crisis remains entrenched on the streets. LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.

Episode 1185 – We Should Be Proud!

It’s More Than The Food

Here is an opinion piece by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Leslie Brooke Rollins from the Department of Health and Human Services. See if you notice if something is missing.

According to Fox News:

As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of freedom this summer, America should resolve to once again be a healthy nation. Chronic disease has been rapidly increasing for decades, and for far too long, the federal government’s approach to nutrition has been part of the problem. Empowered by President Donald Trump’s leadership, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will soon publish a final rule that will more than double the amount of healthy food that many retailers in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are required to stock.

Since its inception, SNAP has helped our most vulnerable citizens afford the essential and nutritious food they need. At least, that is what the program is supposed to do. Over time, however, SNAP has been taken advantage of, allowing many to game the system and leaving millions of vulnerable Americans without healthy, nutrient-dense food options. 

Requiring to stock certain foods does not change the behavior of those taking advantage of SNAP. Banning highly processed foods is the problem.

This is the first clue about what is missing.

This has accelerated the health crisis that our nation is up against. Every year, 90% of the nearly $5 trillion the United States spends on healthcare goes toward treating people with chronic conditions. And of the roughly 73 million children under age 18 in the United States, the CDC reports that over 40% have at least one chronic health condition, while more than 350,000 American children have been diagnosed with diabetes.  

The consequences are far-reaching and have even put our national security at risk. Due primarily to obesity, poor physical fitness, and/or mental health challenges, more than 75% of Americans aged 17 to 24 are ineligible for military service — a staggering and dangerous reality.

The article fails to point out that 75% of those on SNAP (child or adult) have obesity problems.

Rising rates of childhood chronic disease are driven by a combination of factors. Improving SNAP — which covers 15.6 million children, or about 39% of all SNAP participants — is a terrific place to start. When it comes to a lack of healthy options for both America’s children and adults, the stocking standards that classify the foods retailers are required to stock to redeem SNAP benefits are a key culprit. 

The current stocking standards were established when SNAP was used quite differently. Today, too many taxpayer dollars are spent on highly processed products loaded with empty calories. With nearly 266,000 retailers nationwide redeeming nearly $96 billion in SNAP benefits in fiscal year 2025, we can’t afford not to act. 

To take just one example of SNAP misuse, retailers have been able to qualify for SNAP by selling jelly, passing it off as a “fruit,” and making a quick buck off it. This was never the intent of SNAP, and the Trump administration is laser-focused on restoring the program to its original mission.

Our pending final rule raises the bar for stocking by strengthening requirements for retailers and closing loopholes that have allowed certain snack foods to count as staple foods. This rule requires all retailers to carry a minimum of 28 varieties across the four staple food groups — more than double the 12 they are currently required to carry. This will mean more real food like eggs, chicken, whole grain breads, fruit and yogurt on store shelves and on Americans’ plates. 

Or, you can make real food like eggs, chicken, whole grains breads, fruit, and yogurt the only foods they can purchase!

Americans on SNAP deserve even more than 28 varieties, but this is a long overdue step in the right direction. It is also the very least retailers can do in exchange for receiving federal taxpayer dollars, since public money should go toward supporting the national interest. And retailers participating in SNAP should feel obligated to offer a variety of healthy foods, period.

At long last, we are modernizing SNAP to responsibly steward taxpayer dollars, promote healthy eating and empower Americans to lead better lives. This pending final rule squares with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ call to eat real food by ensuring low-income Americans have healthy options available wherever they shop.

There is no better 250th birthday present we can give America than making our nation healthier through real food grown by our incredible farmers, ranchers and producers. Stay tuned — there is much more to come before July 4th. 

Some things:

  • SNAP is a program that needs to go away as it is.
    • It is abused.
    • It is has become a lifestyle instead of being temporary help for people in trouble.

  • Behavior is the problem, not the lack of regulations.

Toughen Up, Buttercup!

According to the New York Post:

Newcomers to the workforce are already in need of respites from the rat race. So, they’re ditching the daily grind to enjoy a little midweek mindfulness in nature amid the rising “green days” movement. 

“I’m really enjoying my day off from work,” raved a 28-year-old law office assistant, in part, while frolicking barefoot through grass in a trending vid. “I’m putting my health first and taking it easy.”

It’s the easy way out of doing a hard day’s work. 

As if Gen Zers, young adults under age 29,  don’t already have a bad rap for being “lazy and entitled” loafs totally unprepared for the corporate world, the youngsters are now abandoning their posts for green days — time away from the office for time spent in the forest or at the beach — during normal business hours. 

And while the spontaneous outing might come as a nuisance to the 65% of employers who’ve deemed Zoomers the “hardest generation to work with,” owing to their poor communication skills, lack of focus and emotional fragility — not to mention their near-crippling dependence on mommy and daddy — randomly going “green” for a day does have its benefits, per reports. 

A staggering 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas — a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050, according to The World Health Organization (WHO), which notes that a lack of fresh and activity makes folks vulnerable to noncommunicable disease. 

Rather than staying cooped up in a cubby, experts suggest squeezing in a little “green time” from time-to-time. 

“Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood and boost feelings of happiness and well-being,” says the American Heart Association. “Whatever you call it – forest bathing, ecotherapy, mindfulness in nature, green time or the wilderness cure ‒ humans evolved in the great outdoors, and your brain may benefit from a journey back to nature.”

Researchers from the UK even found that a minimum of 20 to 90 minutes outdoors each day is “effective for improving mental health outcomes.” 

The brain boost, however, does not require a full 9-to-5 shift. 

Still, the Gen Zs who’d rather play in the green than make some green seem happy with their self-serving choices. 

“Midweek day off in the sun though,” gushed a on-the-go gal taking full advantage of her PTO. 

“What my mornings look like on my day off,” another captioned footage of herself hiking near a waterfall, far away from big business. 

“Days off recharging around nature,” wrote a carefree couple beneath a clip of themselves tabling their responsibilities to kiss in a forest. 

Must be nice to lead the green Gen Z life.

It Was a Joke Dude!

According to Fox News:

Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi faces a lawsuit for $27 million after making a joke about the lyrics to the opening song of the Disney film “The Lion King.”

While appearing on the One54 Africa podcast last month, Jonasi jokingly claimed that “Nants’ingonyama bagithi Baba,” the opening African chant to the song “Circle of Life,” translates to “Look! There’s a lion! Oh my god!”

South African composer Lebohang Morake, otherwise known as Lebo M, the vocalist behind the opening chant, accused the comedian in a legal document on March 16 of making “false statements of fact about the meaning of the ‘Nants’ingonyama’ composition” which he insists translates to “All hail the king, we all bow in the presence of the king.”

He claimed Jonasi was diminishing the song’s value, which could have a negative impact on Morake’s reputation and estate, and is seeking more than $27 million in damages.
