The White House is rolling out details about one of its oldest traditions: the Easter Egg Roll. The annual springtime event will be on April 1, the White House announced Monday. Free tickets to the egg-filled festivities on the South Lawn will be available via a public lottery that will run beginning Monday and ending on March 4 at noon. The White House tradition — which dates to the 1870s during the Rutherford B. Hayes administration — is “geared toward children 12 years of age and younger.” Last year’s White House Easter Egg Roll featured an “EGGucation” theme and was...

U.S. — According to recent polling data, the Americans described by Jill Biden as "breakfast tacos" are inexplicably switching to the Republican Party in record numbers. "We aren't sure why the Latinx, who are as special and unique as a breakfast taco — or maybe a toasted cheddar chalupa — are leaving the Democrats," said Dr. Jill Biden while performing routine spinal surgery on one of her patients. "Don't they know how much we Democrats care about their vote? Perhaps we need more abortions and drag queen story hours." Local breakfast taco Carlos Hernandez isn't convinced. "You know, I'm just...

Last year’s White House Easter egg roll featured a surprise visit from Beyoncé; athletes from the NBA and Washington Redskins; and a performance by actress and singer Idina Menzel, the voice behind that catchy song from the movie “Frozen.” This year, the big act for the Trump administration is the Martin Family Circus, a six-person family band from Nashville that’s driving up to D.C. for the annual event in an RV.

Zilch. Every. Dang. Year. We’ve entered the White House Easter Egg Roll lottery for years now, hoping each time that we would be one of 35,000 families lucky enough to get tickets to play on the South Lawn, to post those glorious Facebook pictures in front of the South Portico.

Having returned from their Cuban holidayand their Argentinian dancing with the stars road tripWhiskey! Tango! Foxtrot!the Wons arrived home in time for Big Guy to hit his annual Holy Saturday round of golf. They also got home in time to attend the bi-annual Easter church service and sing-along. Although I think that may have been just a rumor started by the media as the only picture produced - in People magazine…- is actually from 2014; trust me on this, your mirror never forgets an image. Butt what’s one more little white lie when nobody cares?Obamas go to church on Easter,...

There was no video of Big Guy missing a dozen shots in a row like last year.If I miss this one, confiscate all the iPhonesWe’ve been practicing shooting our hoops ever since last year’s embarrassing showing. Too bad we didn’t put as much time into practicing our foreign relations.And the old tennis game looked pretty good too:Big Guy, showing Putin and David Brooks that he’s got balls too.As always, this year’s Roll kicked off on the Truman balcony with the National Anthem. For those of you wondering why Lady M didn’t have her...

The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named "Good Friend" allegedly shot at a customer who complained about a bug in her eggroll Thursday night. The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Birmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience. "I can't sleep," she said. Saturday afternoon. "And since it happened I've had no appetite." Walker ordered a combination platter and eggroll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a roach inside. "I thought I...

For years, Jeff Ragsdale was in and out of jail, high on drugs and alcohol, and homeless. "I've had so many chances, but this time it's really working out. I'm a little more focused than I was in the past," he said. This weekend, he was part of a team of chefs from DC Central Kitchen who are busy boiling 6,000 eggs for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. After many failed attempts to get clean and hold a steady job, Ragsdale applied to DC Central Kitchen's Culinary Job Training program. He's one of hundreds of chefs who have...

Editor's Note: This article was widely circulated on China's internet websites. We believe it will provide our readers an insight into the mindset in China. I remember the host on a program about animal rights saying, "Please take care of our animals. It will be good for everyone." However, some Chinese don't think about the animals when eating meat. They dare to eat anything but aren't aware that what they are eating may actually be harmful to them. Ah Chang, who has worked in the restaurant industry for many years in China, has witnessed the use of all kinds of...

To understand the meaning of the gay invasion of this year's White House Easter Egg Roll, let me ask you a pointed question: Would you use your children to make a political point? Would you shlep your kids somewhere to help advance an agenda? On Monday, April 17, an estimated 100 "gay families" descended on the White House lawn, kiddies in tow. The annual event is open to the first 1,000 families in line. This street theater came to us courtesy of Mel White (self-styled "militant gay activist") who's into using his cadre to crash Christian colleges and churches that...
