Fool's Ball Divisional Round!!!! Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

Barely two years have gone by since Democrats tried to remove the democratically-elected president of the United States from office by claiming that he might have withheld future security aid to a beleaguered ally, Ukraine, in exchange for an investigation into a political rival. Today, that rival, President Joe Biden, is practically inviting Russia to invade Ukraine, even declaring that Russian President Vladimir Putin “has to do something,” and hoping it is just a a “minor incursion.” [cut] Ultimately, Democrats could not come up with compelling evidence that Trump had committed “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” despite...

Local media in China’s capital of Beijing report that with only two weeks to go before the Winter Olympics begin, city health authorities have resumed a controversial practice from early in the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic: using anal swabs to check for infections. Insider on Wednesday translated a report from the state-owned Beijing News that described at least 27 residents of an apartment building in the Haidian district getting the anal swab test last week. The Beijing News article mentioned the curious practice in passing. There was only a single reference to the swabs piled up among the equipment carried by...

Republican Senator Rogers filed the bill in order to attempt to hold mandating employers liable “for any health complications associated with any required medical products or procedures.”The bill aims to “protect employees who suffer any adverse reactions, injury, disability, loss of wages, pain and suffering or medical expenses correlating to the employer mandate. Furthermore, if any injuries arise within 120 days after receiving an employee mandated medical product or procedure, it would be presumed that the product or procedure is the cause.”

Conservatives on social media are blasting apparel manufacturer Carhartt and calling for a boycott of the company after it announced it would continue to mandate the coronavirus vaccine for employees even after President Biden’s mandate was blocked by the Supreme Court. Carhartt, a popular brand with conservatives and outdoor enthusiasts, announced this week they will continue to mandate coronavirus vaccines for employees saying, "We put workplace safety at the very top of our priority list and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling doesn’t impact that core value." Conservatives on social media immediately began calling for a boycott of the company in...

While being escorted to a separate car, the girl can be seen crying. Some people who were recording the incident followed them, yelling about child abuse and traumatizing the girl. According to multiple videos circulating on Twitter, a 9-year-old girl was among the group of protesters reportedly arrested by the police and removed from the Museum of Natural History in New York City for not having their vaccine cards. NYPD officers are seen removing the group of people from the museum. In one of the videos which have gone viral on Twitter as well as Instagram, a man is heard...

The central bank just released a 40-page study on the benefits and risks of a CBDC, but didn't take an official stance. The Federal Reserve released a long-awaited review of the potential for creating a central bank digital currency Thursday, after months of delays. Ahead of making a decision, the Fed has asked the public to submit answers on 22 questions posed in the report. “The introduction of a CBDC would represent a highly significant innovation in American money,” the authors said in the report. “This paper is the first step in a public discussion between the Federal Reserve and...

A peek inside Dr. Anthony Fauci’s home office reveals he’s surrounded by images of himself — including his own bobblehead and a life-sized portrait on the wall. n one end of the spectrum, “doctor” Anthony Fauci is a flip-flopping, incompetent government sycophant hack who lives a soulless existence as a pretend doctor who just happens to also be the highest-paid government employee in the United States. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Anthony Fauci, not a practicing medical doctor, is an evangelist for the interests of George Soros, Bill Gates, big pharma, and the New World Order....

Outspoken NBA star and activist Enes Kanter Freedom has not been shy about his dislike of the communist government of China. Last week, Freedom tweeted his belief that the “Chinese Communist Party does not represent the Olympic core values of excellence, of respect, of friendship,” and therefore countries like the United States should boycott the 2022 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Beijing, China.The International @Olympics Committee is in bed with the Chinese Government. They are complicit and echo the Cultish Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda.#NoBeijing2022 pic.twitter.com/DLkTN08aPT— Enes Kanter FREEDOM (@EnesFreedom) January 12, 2022A few days later the China state-affiliated...

...The split came amid scandals involving Fergie — including the infamous snaps of her “financial adviser” sucking her toes. They finally divorced in May 1996. But ex-royal maid Charlotte says he still held a torch for her after moving back in with his mum at Buckingham Palace. She told The Sun: “Although she didn’t live there, her make-up was still laid out on a dressing table. “I used to have to pick up all these eyeliners, mascaras and powders, dust underneath them and lay them back out every single day. “But she was never there. She didn’t live there and...

Can Republicans move beyond just completing the original, necessary Trump agenda on closing the border, legal-only immigration, deterrence against China, energy production, immunity from optional military engagements in the Middle East, industrial and manufacturing resurgence in the Rust Belt and conservative judicial appointments? What would such a new Contract with America entail, if it were indeed wise before the midterms to advertise such a confident Newt Gingrich-like strategy for regaining the House? And should a menu be more rather than less detailed? What about the follow-up for a later Republican presidency? Here are the Ten Commandments worth running on, some...

A man accused of throwing a hot coffee at a customer at a Brookline Dunkin’ after allegedly becoming upset the person wasn’t wearing a mask, has been ordered to stay away from the business and to undergo a mental health evaluation. Police responded to an altercation at the Dunkin’ at 8 Harvard St. in Brookline after a man allegedly threw hot coffee toward a fellow customer for not wearing a mask in the store, court documents show. The suspect was arraigned in Brookline District Court Thursday afternoon. The man, identified as 23-year-old Dion Millsap of Dorchester, had allegedly been standing...

Liberal bias among prominent news outlets has been well-known for decades. As a consequence, there has been a mass exodus of conservatives away from "legacy media" outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post to right-leaning news sources including Fox News, the Daily Wire, and the Federalist. Unsurprisingly, this mass migration has also led to partisan splits as to how trustworthy the public views mainstream media: a summer 2021 poll by Pew Research indicates that 78% of Democrats trust the national news media, compared to just 35% of Republicans. Meanwhile, growth among right-leaning news outlets has...

Serbia revoked Rio Tinto's (RIO.L) lithium exploration licences on Thursday, bowing to protesters who opposed the development of the project by the Anglo-Australian mining giant on environmental grounds.Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said the government's decision came after requests by various green groups to halt the$2.4 billion Jadar lithium project which, if completed, would help make Rio a top 10 lithium producer."All decisions (linked to the lithium project) and all licences have been annulled," Brnabic told reporters after a government session. "As far as project Jadar is concerned, this is an end." Earlier this week, Rio had pushed back the...

Just watching the end of a 3 Stooges video on YT at 1:08 a.m. when it hit . Biggest one we've had since the 2 giant quakes that caused death and destruction almost 6 years ago . Rocked all of Kyushu and parts of eastern Honshu . Sure it'll make the US TV news today . We're ok here in Kumamoto , just a little shaken up . Finishing my Suntory beer before trying to get some sleep . It's almost 2 a.m.

Late last year, I got into a discussion with a fellow who was quite sold on the idea that man’s activities were warming the Earth. While not a hardcore ideologue, it was apparent the gentleman had accepted the climate change narrative presented by mainstream media and believed we truly were imperiling the planet. I didn’t say much to him initially, as we were engaged in some recreation, but later on, I resurrected the topic and told him I just wanted to pose one question. “What is the ideal average temperature of the Earth”? I asked.It was clear he was without...

Ever since man distilled his first liquor, he has been bedeviled by a single question: How do I combine this bitter liquor with the fatty broths I love? What’s that? Man hasn’t ever tried to make a cocktail that features rich, meaty broths because that’s insane? Well, somebody tell Campbell’s, because their new line of “brothtails” seeks to answer precisely that question, in the most dismaying way imaginable. (Okay, I wrote that broth cocktails are nuts, but apparently they’re real enough to warrant coverage in Food & Wine. For the sake of preserving my will to live, let’s agree right...
