    It was the song that upgraded the band from album radio staples to simultaneous Top 40 stars.Have you heard the one about the absolute rock classic that became the 353rd No.1 single in U.S. chart history in January 1974 – then took 16 years to become the 650th in the U.K.? Even more bizarrely, another 11 years, the song was sampled on another British No.1. It’s the funny story of the Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker.” The classic single, written and produced by guitar hero and self-appointed “space cowboy” Miller himself, transformed the career of the Milwaukee-born guitar-slinger and his...

    BLUE BELL, Pa. -- An 11-year-old Eagles fan from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, has become a social media sensation after a video of his passionate reaction to the team's wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers spread widely online with millions of views. The clip shows Sam Salvo expressing frustration after Sunday night's game. "I want A.J. Brown packing his bags and going somewhere else that is not here," he says in the video. He adds, "I want Kevin Patullo flipping burgers at the local McDonald's or something. Whenever he's an offensive coordinator, it's like he's flipping burgers. One side, he's...

    As part of ongoing efforts to improve things in both countries, the United States reportedly made an official diplomatic offer to trade all of its liberal women for Iranian women. According to highly placed sources, representatives of the State Department, including Secretary Marco Rubio, had engaged in high-level talks with officials from the Iranian government to lay out parameters for a trade that would send every liberal American woman to Iran in exchange for Persian women. "It's a deal that makes too much sense not to happen," Rubio said in a brief statement to reporters. "In the United States, we're...

    Hey, you up? Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Trump have been exchanging “friendly” missives at least twice a week — as the unlikely bromance between the socialist and conservative commander-in-chief continues to blossom, The Post has learned. The former Astoria lawmaker and the Queens native have semi-regularly been chatting via text since their chummy White House meeting in November, discussing a wide range of topics, from the toppling of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and zoning red tape in Big Apple real estate, according to sources. Insiders with knowledge of the conversation described the tone of the texts as “friendly.” “It...

    After denouncing un-PC comics like Ricky Gervais, Rosie Jones has presented her advice on ‘how to joke responsibly’. Pay attention, bigots --------- Rosie Jones spoke about her concerns regarding jokes made about transgender people by some well-known comedians. She said she was frustrated by what she described as “privileged cis white straight men” making jokes about “the trans community”, and named Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr in particular. Jones said: “It’s your Ricky Gervaises and Jimmy Carrs… To those boys, I’d say, with respect, shut the f— up.” She argued that comedians who do not share the experiences of the...

    U.S. — According to sources, an exhausted nation was wishing Minnesota would just be normal for, like, five minutes. Insiders revealed that every sane person in America had grown tired of Minnesota being unable to go more than a few seconds without some type of bizarre scandal or horrific incident. "Please," said one American citizen. "We're tired. Please just be normal, Minnesota. Please, we beg you." Experts were reportedly stumped as to what Minnesota's major problem is or how it got so bad. "Yeah, it beats me," said Dr. Harold Beeker, an expert on states. "Minnesota is kinda insane right...

    Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/1/26
    U2 frontman and activist Bono has publicly backed a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti from an Israeli jail. Barghouti has been serving multiple life sentences since 2002 for orchestrating murderous terrorist attacks against Israelis. He is widely believed to have planned the Second Intifada, which claimed thousands of Israeli lives from 2000 to 2005. Barghouti has continued inciting terrorism from his jail cell. Despite his convictions, he is viewed by many Palestinian Arabs as a unifying figure and potential future leader. In a personal essay published in The Atlantic, Bono described Barghouti as “a leader of vision,...

    Oct 11, 2025 Voters are getting disgusted by the Democrat party. We are tired of seeing our once great cities get run to the ground. Our city streets are not safe any more thanks to Democrat governance that fails to prosecute criminals and protect its law-abiding citizens. Democrats abused democracy by weaponizing the justice department against Donald Trump. Democrats are even defending rioting and attacking of federal agents who are trying to keep our cities safe from illegal aliens. If you feel regret from voting for the Democrat party, you don't have to hate your self.

Mets owner Steve Cohen, in tandem with gaming partner Hard Rock, have delivered the $500 million fee to operate a “Metropolitan Park” casino complex near...

    U.S. — Experts are now recommending parents limit their children to just four hours of brain-rotting slop each day to better prepare them for the future. Pediatricians are encouraging parents to limit the time their kids spend staring blankly at putrid, worthless garbage on a tablet or phone screen. "Children are our future, and our future is looking very dim," said Dr. Heinlen Reynolds of the AAP. "That's why it's imperative you cut out the brain rot they consume by at least half. Limit it to 3 or 4 hours, tops. But don't worry, no one expects you to...
