The “67” trend, originating from a rap song, has rapidly spread online and infiltrated various settings, including schools, churches, and even the White House. Vice President JD Vance shared a humorous anecdote about his son’s usage of the term during a church service, highlighting its pervasive nature. The nonsensical slang, often shouted in a call-and-response pattern, has led to disciplinary actions in schools and even disruptions in public spaces, causing frustration among adults like teachers.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered all State Department employees to return to using Times New Roman font rather than the Biden-Era ‘woke’ and ‘DEIA’ Calibri font. This, apparently, is a real thing, and it’s… well, it’s a lot to take in. It seems the decision to switch back to Times New Roman is a direct consequence of the perceived “wokeness” associated with the previous administration’s preference for Calibri. You know, the font. Apparently, a font can be woke now.
It’s hard to know where to begin unpacking this, but let’s start with the basics. Times New Roman, the font in question, is a classic.… Continue reading
During a recent speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump suggested Americans should “give up” certain products, like pencils and dolls, to manage costs. This recommendation, made while defending tariffs, faced significant backlash, with critics pointing out his disconnect from everyday financial realities. Trump’s comments echoed similar advice offered earlier in the year, where he asserted children did not need excessive amounts of toys and school supplies. Pundits and social media users widely criticized the remarks as tone-deaf and out of touch, especially given the context of rising prices and the holiday shopping season.

Republican women suddenly realize they’re surrounded by misogynists? Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? Many feel like this isn’t a sudden realization at all, but a delayed acknowledgment. They knew. Some seem to have understood, consciously or unconsciously, that being *in* on the system offered a degree of protection *from* the worst of it. “I voted for the racism, not the misogyny!” is a sentiment that’s been heard. The truth is, some of these women may have been misogynists themselves, actively participating and supporting policies and attitudes that belittle or demean other women, or perhaps, all women.
Maybe “suddenly” isn’t the right word.… Continue reading
On Monday, President Trump denied having made a previous statement captured on camera just days before, and then launched a personal attack against the reporter who repeated his comment accurately.

The president continued to deflect and criticized the reporter for quoting him accurately.

In a striking turn of events, an investigation reveals that former President Donald Trump engaged in the same actions he is accusing his political opponents of, specifically mortgage fraud. The report details that in 1993, Trump secured mortgages for two Florida properties, claiming each as his principal residence, despite evidence suggesting he did not reside in either. Experts have noted the hypocrisy, particularly considering Trump’s administration has used similar claims to target political adversaries like Lisa Cook and Letitia James. Trump’s spokesperson responded by claiming no fraud, while the former president himself has not commented on the matter.
