Tantrum City, a rage room that opened in April 2021 in North Syracuse, has closed its doors. “We will be closing our doors effective immediately due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you,” Tantrum City posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday. The business was located on the corner of Taft Road and Route 11, and was previously home to ShamROCK’s Rock and Roll Irish Pub. Tantrum City provided weapons (bats, crowbars, golf clubs and sledgehammers) and items to smash, like electronics, glassware, knick-knacks and car parts to release steam and throw adult temper tantrums....

Elon Musk made a bold donation offer to Wikipedia, on one condition. The Tesla CEO and owner of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, took to his social media account to offer the online encylcopedia a generous donation if they're willing to rename their site. "I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia," wrote Musk. "Please add that to the [cow and poop emojis] on my wiki page," he continued. "In the interests of accuracy." (Tweets at Link) Journalist Ed Krassenstein later chimed in to encourage the organization to make the...

Billionaire Elon Musk offered Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, $1 billion under the condition that it changes its name to “Dickipedia.” The owner of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, wrote his offer in a post on his site. He had previously posted a screenshot of a personal appeal from Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales stating that the website is “not for sale.” “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia,” Musk wrote. “Please add that to the [cow and poop emojis] on my wiki page,” he continued in another post. “In...

Russia’s parliamentary leaders plan to consider exiting an international treaty banning nuclear tests as a means of retaliation against Western support for Ukraine. “We are talking about the withdrawal of ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty,” State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin wrote Friday on social media. “The situation in the world has changed. Washington and Brussels have launched a war against our country. Today's challenges require new solutions.” Volodin embraced the idea after Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled his interest in the exit during his address to the Valdai Discussion Club. The Kremlin chief also positioned the withdrawal...

Disgraceful behavior from Rep. Michael Skindell at the Ohio House yesterday as Rep. Jena Powell tried to speak. Rep. Powell was trying to protect women’s sports when Democrats started pounding on desks, interrupting her, looking and sounding like they were losing their minds. Ohio lawmaker Powell was attempting to introduce an amendment to an Ohio bill to protect women athletes when the pounding and screaming began. She proposed the “Save Women’s Sports Act” in February and wanted to add an amendment to protect biological female athletes from being forced to compete against biological males. Rep. Powell began by noting that...

“Tory scum off our streets, Nazi scum off our streets!” shouted left-wing protesters in central London. Around a thousand demonstrators, many masked and holding antifa symbols, poured onto the streets of the British capital to protest the U.K.’s election results. The Conservatives won in a landslide election the day before, likely guaranteeing Britain’s withdrawal from the EU at the end of next month. The British capital descended into chaos as the Met Police struggled to contain protesters connected to antifa, socialist and communist groups. They had shut down the streets in and around Westminster. They demanded a “revolution” and the...

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood took to Twitter to scold CNN and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for omitting abortion as an issue during the Democrat Party debate Tuesday evening. “Tonight, voters missed an opportunity to hear how Democratic candidates will approach a fundamental issue that impacts their lives,” Planned Parenthood posted, as MRC NewsBusters observed. “Candidates spent more than 30 minutes debating health care, but it’s meaningless if we cannot access it.”

Hot off the heels of their stunningly successful It’s Ok To Be White campaign. Which managed to stir up both outrage and national media attention in multiple countries round the world. 4chan’s infamous politically incorrect board has now seemingly moved on to their next example of expert level political trolling. Their target this time? The never ending joke that is modern Sweden.

Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account @realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!

An organized protest at Cornell University supporting racial equality has been canceled after a black student group complained about the “lack of people of color in the planning and attendance” of the event, which appears to have been organized by a white student. The group also stated that “although” the members appreciate “the solidarity and interest of our allies,” the organization would like to address prejudice “in [their] own way.” They then suggested that individuals who would like to show support for black causes should ask in advance for the organization’s approval. Thursday morning, a Facebook event was created for...

The two latest trends sweeping colleges and universities across the U.S. are a demand for gender-neutral bathrooms and peer-to-peer shaming of "privileged" students. At California Polytechnic University, students recently held a “s*it-in” to demand that administrators add more “all gender” restrooms to the 17 existing locations on Cal Poly’s campus. Despite an impending budget crisis, the University of North Texas allocated $100,000 last fall to renovate old restrooms and make them gender-neutral. “This is a situation where I thought we could be proactive and make this change… You could say it’s an all-human restroom,” Shane McCreery, Illinois State University’s Ethics...

Nonleadership: Fiscal catastrophe looms, thanks to out-of-control entitlement spending. But the man in charge responds to serious policy proposals like a fourth-grader. Cool, President "Stinkburger"! If the ultimate measure of a man really can be found not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but in times of challenge, then the man in the seat of power in this country falls short.

Debt Crises: What a sorry spectacle to watch Greeks rioting in the streets in reaction to austerity measures. As if tantrums can change reality. It's Exhibit A of how socialism infantilizes citizens. The only cure is free markets. As Greece's legislature heads for a vote Wednesday to cut the size of its government by $40 billion in exchange for the last $17 billion of a $156 billion International Monetary Fund bailout on July 3, the world's television screens are flooded with images of young "indignantes" calling a riotous 48 hour-strike in Athens. Steeped in socialism for decades, these Greeks see...

Citadel 21, Wisconsin 21 at halftime.

So the Democrats won the election. Is there any less anger in our politics for that? Not as far as I can tell. To be sure, you’ll find some relief on the Left, and a bit of smugness as well (the latter stemming more from our troubles in Iraq than from the election itself). But are we back to sweetness and light, say, on the web? I don’t think so. That is exactly why Peter Wood’s new book, A Bee in the Mouth: Anger in America Now scores a direct cultural hit. America has entered an enduring age of anger,...

Veteran U.S. civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, right, walks past an anti-U.S. banner placed among the rubble of a building that was destroyed following Israeli bombardment during the 34-day long Hezbollah-Israel war, in the southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2006. Jackson, who said Tuesday that an Israeli soldier seized by Palestinian militants and two others held captive by Hezbollah are alive, also said Syria, a main backer of both Hamas and Hezbollah, wanted to be involved in a prisoner swap that included the three Israelis and Syrian nationals detained by Israel in the Golan Heights....

I am writing this urgent message because I was once a witch. I lived by the stars as an astrologer and numerologist casting horoscopes and spells. I lived in the mysterious and shadowy realm of the occult. By means of spells and magic, I was able to invoke the powers of the "controlling unknown" and fly upon the night winds transcending the astral plane. Halloween was my favorite time of the year and I was intrigued and absorbed in the realm of Wiccan witchcraft. All of this was happening in the decade of the 1960’s when witchcraft was just starting...
