Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. Stephen Colbert also mocked the protests in a segment on his CBS’ “The Late Show,” sarcastically noting how the “Democrats are getting ready to fight back with their little paddles.”

Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. The Democratic lawmakers were trolled after showing up to the joint session of Congress Tuesday night brandishing the black signs — complete with phrases like “false” and “Musk Steals” — which they repeatedly flashed as Trump was delivering his speech. But the stunt was widely ripped for falling flat — even among notoriously left-leaning MSNBC hosts and late night comedians. “Why are democrats just sitting there? The signs...

Democrats are in resistance mode during President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. While Rep. Al Green got kicked out for disrupting the speech, other Democrats are expressing their disagreement with paddles reading "False." Some also say "Musk Steals" and "Save Medicaid." And the meme-makers are already coming through: You guys are fast.

President Trump’s speech to Congress was a massive success—many are calling it the greatest presidential speech of all time. https://twitter.com/DaRealAmberRose/status/1897135108135772459 While President Trump celebrated a major political victory with last night’s speech, Dems took yet another devastating hit. Their situation is getting dire, and more people are starting to notice what’s being called the “80/20 problem.” We’ll get to that in a moment. Even Brit Hume—a well-known Trump critic—couldn’t deny the reality. He summed up President Trump’s night perfectly: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/1897138108753420418 And the American people were please, as well. Just take a look at these two sets of numbers: https://twitter.com/philipwegmann/status/1897165985297391664 The...

VIDEOAs soon as David Hogg was chosen as vice chair of the Democrat party he wasted no time in that position using the DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his personal PAC. And now CORRUPT Hogg is attempting humor with the lamest of jokes as you can see on X (forever to be known as Twitter). Although there is nothing the least bit funny about Hogg's pathetic attempt of humor the brutal ratio is HILARIOUS as you can see.And among the responses is speculation that the Democrats humiliating themselves by holding up dopey paddles during President...

Ten years ago, baby-faced men were passed over in Hollywood for rugged looking stars with more traditionally masculine looks. But today more feminine-looking actors with delicate features, shorter stature and symmetrical faces are more in demand because they appear to younger viewers, experts claim. Gen Z audiences are drawn to celebrities like Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles who embody a 'brand of enlightened non-toxic masculinity', according to beauty expert Laura Kay. Their symmetrical, heart-shaped faces also make them more photogenic and therefore more popular on Instagram, which has become a key part in the Hollywood marketing machine. These...

When realtor Ben Dixon caught sight of his face during an early morning Zoom call with a client in January, he was distracted by what he perceived were bags and discoloration under his eyes. “I thought, ‘You could do with a little help here!’” the 42-year-old admitted to The Post, noting how he’d become more bothered by his appearance while working remotely during the pandemic. So, like a growing number of dudes who are increasingly horrified by their appearance on countless Zoom calls, he consulted a friend with seemingly perfect skin, who generously shared his secret: concealer for men.

In yet another shocking twist, it's over between The Bachelor's Peter Weber and Madison Prewett. The couple, who had a dramatic reunion on the live finale of the ABC series earlier this week (after Weber's abrupt split from Hannah Ann Sluss) has broken up, both confirmed on Instagram Thursday. 'Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further,' the star of season 24 of the ABC show said on the site. 'Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that...

VIDEO Because Rush Limbaugh labeled the White House "whistleblower" as a Pajama Boy, I became curious as to what happened to the ORIGINAL Pajama Boy, Ethan Krupp, who became infamous in a widely mocked Obamacare poster in 2013. My search revealed that Krupp has completely eliminated any trace of himself from the Web and nothing at all can be found about him now anywhere. It is like he has disappeared from the planet due to the shame over his mocking. This video also reveals a some fascinating background material on Pajama Boy Krupp which shows that he had a...

Like seemingly everybody else in America, I have spent the vast majority of this brutally hot summer sitting underneath a fan in my air-conditioned apartment and clutching a sweaty can of White Claw spiked seltzer. Available in flavors like mango, black cherry, and grapefruit, these slim cans of refreshing sparkling water are spiked with a potent 5% alcohol content, and they’re the hottest cold drink in the country. This particular brand of spiked seltzer has inspired a truly unique devotion among its fans, dominating more than half of the rapidly growing “spiked seltzer” market, becoming the subject of countless memes,...

When Sonia E. Wilson went to get a pedicure on the Fourth of July, she didn’t expect to wait at her neighborhood salon, figuring most women had rushed to get their nails done before the holiday. Women weren’t the problem. The Brooklyn, N.Y., salon was packed with men. Ms. Wilson learned she was fourth in line after three men—all having pedicures. “I don’t mind men stepping up their grooming,” said Ms. Wilson, a development officer at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. “But I can’t say I was happy to wait close to an hour while three of them were ahead...

As a feminist and a romance novelist, if I wrote about a male protagonist who made unwanted sexual advances towards his female employee or ignored pleas to slow down or stop trying to have sex with a date, I would be pilloried by my readers — and rightly so. Because that’s not the behavior of a romance hero, that’s the behavior of a villain.

I am in politics because every day, I get to work to make the world a little better—for my kids, and for yours. I’m proud of the dedicated work our team is doing to make Canada more open, more inclusive, more just—and gender equal. But some of the most important work I do is not as a political leader, but as a parent. Every day, at home, I have the astonishing and humbling opportunity—together with my wife Sophie—to nurture empathy, compassion, self-love, and a keen sense of justice in our three kids.

A victim himself of the sport, Marc Buoniconti wants youth football banned. He hasn’t always felt that way. Now, as his Buoniconti Fund and the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis also researches head trauma, the former college linebacker paralyzed from the shoulders down in a game nearly 32 years ago has a different view. As he has learned more about concussions and has seen his father, Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti, have significant cognitive issues in recent years, Marc Buoniconti is adamant that children should not play football. “For me, my opinion has changed 180 degrees,” Buoniconti told The Associated...

ou know that feeling when your eyes burn because you've just seen something that now can't be unseen? Yeah, that's how I felt when I read this article about men's lingerie. File this under the same category as man buns—in the "just no" category. It's a brand called Menagerié, offering up feminine intimates for men. They make lacy, low-rise briefs ranging from $59-69 (which have sold out), black lace "biker shorts" retailing at $89 (nearly sold out), silky boxers, and even waist trainers. Say what?

It feels like a bazooka — and sounds like a cannon. One day after 49 people were killed in the Orlando shooting, I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style assault weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers. But mostly, I was just terrified. Many gun shops turned down our request to fire and discuss the AR-15, a style of semi-automatic rifle popular with mass killers such as San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook and similar to the Sig Sauer MCX rifle used by Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen. Killers in mass shootings used AR-15, thanks to...

As the father of three daughters, I reserved the right to interview their dates. . . For the next few hours, she would be affected by his ability to drive a car, avoid the bad crowds and stay sober. I wanted to know if he could do it. I wanted to know if he was decent. This was my word: “decent.” Would he treat my daughter with kindness and respect? Could he be trusted to bring her home on time? In his language, actions and decisions, would he be a decent guy? Decency mattered to me as a dad, and...

Here is their leader... There's a recent article in the "Men's Style" section of the New York Times titled 27 Ways to Be a Modern Man.You should never judge a book by its cover, except for now. This is as bad as you'd imagine. Maybe worse. I won't list all 27, just the worst five, with comment. You can see all 27 here and I recommend you do, because it was extremely difficult to pick the worst five. 1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he...

Shepard Smith, Fox News host, cut into his own press conference coverage of the release of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis from jail to rail against her, as well as those who supported her denial of wedding certificates to same-sex couples, saying such is simply a "religious play" that has no business in government service. He also compared Kim Davis supporters to those who oppose Sharia law, characterizing them as one and the same when it comes to ideology. "They set this up as a religious play again," Smith said, "This is the same crowd that says, 'We don't want Sharia...
