All rise, and please honor The First Lady of the United States of America, DOCTOR Jill Biden! You may genuflect, bow, curtsy, or kneel in proper homage to the woman who holds no office but is married to the president of the United States of America. She is a person for whom you did not vote but to whom you must pay homage, respect, and, indeed, worship because she married Joey from Scranton. And, it must be added, she now runs the country alongside her crackhead stepson. Please remove your hats and remain standing. In 2022, Jill Biden raised her...

I have watched Mark's career, enjoy watching him on Shark Tank, love his entrepreneurial spirit but being Hillary's veep? Has he lost his friggin mind? Does he know nothing about the Clinton's? Who in their right mind, who believes in the amazing aspects of capitalism would want to be associated with those two? Sorry Mark but you are now an asshat!

CHICAGO – A new study to be published in Christianity Today magazine exposes a dangerous wave of church subculture that has built enormous momentum over the past decade. Hazing, which until now has been almost entirely associated with college fraternities and sororities, has made its way into our churches as a method of initiating would-be small group members and filtering out those too weak to join. While most colleges have squelched hazing in recent years, a new surge in small group hazing—resulting in at least two fatalities—is causing some pastors to follow suit and ban the practice altogether. “This has...

NEW DELHI: The First Lady loves Indian food, especially the mutton and daal she sampled at the Prime Minister's banquet on Sunday night. Her younger daughter, Sasha, wants to become a dancer and when this wife has a tiff with her husband, he has to make up first.

Awed by her presence at first, the girls stammered and stuttered but by the time the one-hour session was over,...

Let it be known on this day that I predict Michelle Obama will come up pregnant before the election. Where would I get such a crazy idea? Hillary! That's right, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let's see who can remember this gem from 1996. In the run up to the 1996 primaries, the polls were not looking so great for the Clintons and they had no idea there was a cake walk ahead of them. Although the Republicans were riding the "Contract with America" wave, Bob Dole was just beginning to spend his war chest fighting off party rivals, even though everyone...

A NEW York politician has been filmed dropping the "f-bomb" at least 15 times in what has become an online video hit, attracting tens of thousands of page views.

After being asked about Hillary Clinton's "embarrassing incident with a cigar", the Republican asked a member of his staff to throw the crew out. "Get the (f-bomb) out of my office,” Mr Oddo told the crew as the fake reporter struggled to...
