[this is a blog post by pastor John Pavlovitz] I remember the day after the Election, a friend of mine who happens to be white, remarked on social media that he “finally wasn’t embarrassed of America and our President.” I sprained my eyes rolling them and they have never fully recovered. Since then I’ve heard […]
Hate crimes skyrocketed after the election of Donald Trump. But some people are doing something about it.

© Tom Tomorrow Don’t you wish the Trump presidency was really just a computer simulation? Here’s evidence that it might be.

I’m out of town for the weekend and just heard about the fatal stabbings in Portland. As someone who recently moved back to Portland and consider it home, this is deeply disturbing to me.

© Mike Judge A while ago I noticed that the Republicans had slightly changed their language. They started promising that health insurance premiums would go down. What they didn’t say was that they would make that happen by doing two things: kick sick people off of insurance (so the healthy people could pay less) and […]
[Jokes from Apr. 19, 2017] Bill O’Reilly has been fired by Fox News. It’s not that big of a surprise. We all saw this coming at us, you know, like an old man cornering an intern in the break room. – Stephen Colbert Bill O’Reilly has been fired from Fox News after being accused of […]
[Jokes from Apr. 18, 2017] Today is Tax Day. It’s the day that all Americans but one release their tax records. – Conan O’Brien President Trump is refusing to release his tax returns for 2016. It’s become kind of a tradition for him now, to not release them. I think I’ve figured out why the […]
Today there is an election in Montana to fill the congressional seat vacated by Ryan Zinke when he became Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Interior.
