Tomorrow I will smoke it on my Weber for a total of about 2 1/2 hours. So why smoke it the day BEFORE July 4? Well, because I need the Weber for something else that day...

Seriously argued theories fingering every party to the Ukraine War for the Nord Stream blast have been made since underwater explosive charges took out the key route for importing natural gas from Russia to Europe last year. Yet according to a new report published by a group of European broadcasters and publications, Germany’s FBI-equivalent the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA) is now looking into leads that implicate Ukraine. In a summary of the claims made by outlets including Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung, Sweden’s Expressen, and Denmarks Berlingske published by German broadcaster Tagesschau it is reported a yacht rented from a...

It’s called The Elvis, and we still can’t decide if it’s bolt of culinary genius or a terrible mistake. Served at Roscoe’s Pizza in Corwin, Ohio, which is roughly an hour away from Downtown Columbus, the pizza features a peanut butter base, traditional pizza cheese, bacon and bananas.

The majority of comments were positive, with some leaving rave reviews after eating...

A California mother has filed a lawsuit against several different Shasta County institutions over the slaughtering of her 9-year-old daughter’s pet goat.

It states that in July, two Shasta County sheriff’s deputies drove over 500 miles to Sonoma County to confiscate Long’s daughter’s pet goat, Cedar, and return him to the Shasta Fair Association to be slaughtered.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg clapped back at professional kickboxer Andrew Tate on Twitter after Tate tweeted at her boasting about his collection of 33 cars. “Hello @GretaThunberg,” Tate wrote, tagging the 19-year-old Swedish activist on Twitter. “I have 33 cars,” he added before offering some specifics on his fleet of vehicles. “This is just the start,” Tate continued before taunting Thunberg, stating, “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.” Thunberg promptly tweeted back to Tate with a blunt retort, writing, “yes, please do enlighten me. email...

I really tried to like this guy. He is just a hot mess. He refuses to use a filter for his mic so half his sentences sound like walrus farts. He is constantly pretending the 'lefties' are astounded at his brilliance (hot take, they're not) . He is dangerously naive about that. He is constantly shouting to the audience to 'kiss my ass.' His topics are usually old or cribbed from Tucker. His life experience is not as interesting as he thinks it is. The good news is his contract with Cumulus expires soon and will not be renewed. Lord...

I run one of the original, Daniel Okrent fantasy baseball leagues that we started in 1988. Daniel Okrent named it Rotisserie baseball after the Rotisserie Restaurant in New York, where he penciled the first rules that became known as fantasy sports. Over the years, we learned how to spot baseball players who were on steroids. Their batting average leaped by as much as 80 points, and the power increase was obvious. We believe that McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds took high doses of steroids when they passed Babe Ruth's 60–home run record. Roger Maris obviously did not take steroids, but his...

Francis Needs Our Weakness to Build His Ape ChurchWould you have thought that such a situation could ever arise? Keeping in mind that the ape religion was similar enough in external form to the Catholic Church that it would “deceive even the elect,” what would you have thought the new religion would look like? Would you have been confident that you would not be deceived by such a new religion?Whether we call it an ape church or not, the reality is that we have a situation tragically similar to the one Bishop Sheen foretold. Imagine that as you were pondering...

Nets guard Kyrie Irving will still cash in on the 2021-22 NBA season, despite not being a part of the team. On Tuesday, Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks said Irving will not play or practice with the Nets until eligible under New York’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate. However, Irving will still earn his salary for away games, Marks said. The All-Star guard, though, will not be paid for games missed in New York — 41 at Barclays Center and two at Madison Square Garden — due to New York’s COVID-19 mandate. Brooklyn is unable to hold Irving’s pay for away games...
