  • Oprah Winfrey Is Not Running for President, so Stop Making Those Bootleg T-Shirts and Mugs

    We can all let go of the idea of Gayle King as vice president, Ava DuVernay as the secretary of education and, unfortunately for diplomatic relations, Iyanla Vanzant as ambassador to the United Nations. Sadly, middle-American white women, who all wore pink pussy hats during the recent Women’s Marches and yet secretly voted for Donald…

  • Federal Investigation Launched After Baltimore Woman Kicked Out of Hospital Wearing Only a Gown and Socks

    It may be one of the most heartless acts of 2018 so far. A Baltimore hospital released a woman who was having what her lawyers have described as a psychotic episode out into the freezing Baltimore night air wearing nothing but a hospital gown and socks.

  • Uganda, Get Your Man: Ugandan President Loves Trump’s Frankness About African Countries

    It might be time to hop on the phone with your Ugandan relatives to find out what in the holy hell is wrong with the president of Uganda. President Yoweri Museveni must believe that African countries are, in fact, “shitholes” because he seems to agree with America’s national embarrassment, President Donald Trump. Museveni is out…

  • What Happened to Pastor Mark Burns?

    To be called to the church is a righteous mission; it’s a testament to devotion at the highest level. To serve one’s God is a mighty purpose. It requires selflessness and compassion. So it is with all due respect that I ask, what the fuck happened to Mark Burns? I don’t have any issue with…

  • Danny Glover and Cedric the Entertainer Are Serving As Protection for an Exiled Revolutionary Returning to His Home Country

    It sounds like a bad black buddy movie: Danny Glover, Cedric the Entertainer, a California politician and an exiled revolutionary head to Honduras to witness the swearing-in of a small city’s first black mayor. Only one problem: The revolutionary was exiled from Honduras and his return has been met with death threats, so Glover, the…

  • Omarosa Continues to Cash Out on Her Time in the White House Because That’s What Soulless People Do

    Southern universities get ready: Omarosa Manigault Newman, the woman with the soul the size of an acorn that’s been smashed into pieces by a tractor, has signed with a speakers bureau … because who didn’t see this coming? Seriously, did anyone not see Omarosa looking to cash in on her time in the White House?…

  • Sorry, Virginia: Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Doesn’t Want to Hear You Wax Poetic About Confederate ‘Heroes’

    Southern white men love to memorialize other white men who fought for years to keep African Americans enslaved. It’s the Southern-white-man thing to do to champion the losers of the Confederacy. So, on Monday, when Virginia state Sen. Emmett W. Hanger Jr. (R-Augusta) stood up to lionize the birthday of Confederate Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall”…

  • Trump’s Chief of Staff, John Kelly, May Have Worn Out His White House Welcome: Report

    We all know that no one puts Donald Trump in a corner, unless said corner is filled with soggy fried chicken in a white bucket that he can wear as a hat once he’s finished eating, and prerolled Forbes magazines for naughty time. So it looks like the love affair between White House chief of…

  • White House Petty Level on 10: Message Says They Can’t Answer Phone Because Democrats Shut Down the Government

    I think at this point we can all agree that the White House has become a bottomless pit of petty. It’s one thing to have the president trolling nonwhite America on Twitter, but now someone in the White House, most likely at the president’s request, has changed the White House telephone answering service to blame…

  • Watch: War Hero Sen. Tammy Duckworth Calls Trump ‘Draft Dodger’ and ‘Cadet Bone Spurs’

    In 2004, while on deployment in Iraq, the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) was co-piloting was hit by a rocket grenade launcher.
