Unemployment has skyrocketed, grocery stores have empty shelves, and everyone is confined to their homes on penalty of arrest. This "idyllic paradise" is exactly what Sanders wanted in the first place, so he says he can leave the race satisfied that his vision has been...

    U.S.—The Babylon Bee has been the world's best satire site for thousands of years, spawning dozens of secular knock-offs that just aren't quite as good. The site announced a new acquisition this week, one that immediately made the site the largest satirical site on the planet: a purchase of competing satire site CNN for $12 billion. The move more than quadrupled the site's catalog of hilarious, satirical articles.

    Even though this is one of those body language examination videos, I find this even more interesting for the outcome (apparent white-washing) and that Senator John Cornyn was overseeing the AG's briefing. Why was he, and staunch establishment, deep state, Cornyn even there to make sure Barr stayed on script? My confidence in Barr has faded. There will be no Obama/Clinton justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd-UV92rNPw
