Doctor of Housing Ben Carson Tests Positive for Coronavirus
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has tested positive for the coronavirus. Truthfully, Carson could’ve tested positive days ago and told everyone inside the White House, but no one listens to Ben Carson.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris strode out to deliver a victory speech on Saturday night with the powerful singing of Mary J.

Trump Goes on Fox & Friends to Complain About the Good Ole Days When Fox News Was Really Biased
It’s Election Day! So that means President Trump is up early on the phones with Russian operatives making sure that all of the systems are in place to steal another election. I kid, or do I? But seriously, you know someone is worried when they make an appearance on Fox & Friends to complain about…

'Big B'—and the 'B' Stands for Biden-Harris
In case you didn’t know, Beyoncé has officially endorsed presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden for this year’s election. The Texas-born songstress took to Instagram to upload a boomerang, sporting an all-too-appropriate “Biden Harris” face mask. (We love a socially responsible queen.)

David Perdue's Mocking of Kamala Harris' Name is Turning Into the Self-Own to End All Self-Owns
It must be hard out here for a Republican these days. Imagine having to choose between being a decent human being and appealing to your deplorable base. We learned all through the Obama years how a foreign-sounding name on a brown person gives racist ass xenophobes conservative voters the heebee jeebees. So I bet when…
