By Kent Williams, Political Correspondent January 30, 2025 WASHINGTON, D.C. — A shocking aviation disaster struck the nation’s capital last night when a small toy helicopter, reportedly gifted to Vice President J.D. Vance by President Donald Trump, veered off course and collided with a passenger jet, causing it to crash into the Potomac River. Sources close to the vice president say Vance was “horrified” as the remote-controlled aircraft, which he had been demonstrating as a “humorous gift” from Trump, unexpectedly flew into the path of a departing commercial flight. The impact with the jet’s engine sent it plummeting into the icy waters below. Emergency responders rushed to the scene late into the night, with initial reports indicating multiple casualties. Eyewitnesses described a surreal sequence of events as Vance, surrounded by White House aides, attempted to navigate the toy moments before the catastrophe.

By Kelly Robbins, Cultural Correspondent January 29, 2025 A controversial new  Garfield  comic strip published this week has ignited a firestorm of backlash, with critics calling it “disturbing,” “irresponsible,” and “a national disgrace.” The four-panel strip, which ran in newspapers across the country, depicts the lasagna-loving feline performing an impromptu lobotomy on beloved animated character Shrek. The scene, played for dark comedy, has provoked outrage from mental health professionals, politicians, and the general public. Trump: ‘This Is a New Low’ President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, denouncing the strip in a lengthy post on Truth Social. “This is what happens when you let the radical left destroy culture—total disrespect for our beloved characters! First, they went after Dr. Seuss, and now they’re mutilating Shrek. Very sad! Jim Davis should be ashamed, and the FAKE NEWS is treating this like it’s okay! DISGRACEFUL!!!” Trump’s reaction has been echo...

By Frederick Prentiss, Entertainment Correspondent January 28, 2025      Martha Stewart, the undisputed queen of domestic arts, took her culinary creativity to an entirely new dimension yesterday—quite literally—by collaborating with none other than the spectral presence of former President Ronald Reagan. The unlikely duo teamed up for a YouTube video where they whipped up patriotic parfaits in Martha’s idyllic country kitchen. However, what began as a quirky exploration of desserts and diplomacy quickly turned into a scene straight out of a disaster movie when a nearby volcano erupted mid-filming.      The video, titled  “Presidential Parfaits with Martha & Ronnie” , was intended to showcase a simple recipe for red, white, and blue parfaits layered with strawberries, whipped cream, and blueberries. Reagan’s ghost—manifested as a semi-transparent, slightly glowing figure wearing his iconic navy suit—seemed to embrace the challenge with the same cha...

By Kent Williams, Political Correspondent January 24, 2025 WASHINGTON, D.C. — In what insiders are calling an “unprecedented moment in White House history,” President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance reportedly engaged in a full-fledged macaroni and cheese fight inside the Oval Office earlier today. According to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, the incident began as a lighthearted discussion over lunch but quickly escalated when the two leaders disagreed over the proper way to prepare the classic American dish. Witnesses claim that President Trump, a staunch advocate for “extra cheesy” mac and cheese, grew frustrated when Vice President Vance suggested a more traditional, less creamy approach. “It’s one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen in government,” said a senior White House aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “One moment they were discussing policy, the next there was elbow pasta flying across the Resolute Desk.” Sources say the presiden...

By Kent Williams, Political Correspondent -    January 21, 2025      On his first full day in office, President Donald Trump issued a controversial executive pardon to the group of Pikmin recently accused of crimes against humanity. The move, which Trump had promised during his campaign and transition, has polarized both national and global opinion, drawing sharp criticism from political leaders and human rights advocates, while earning praise from his loyal base and members of his administration. A Presidential First      The Pikmin, the first non-human entities to be indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), were accused of mass abductions, ecological destruction, and forced conscription. Trump’s pardon effectively nullifies any possibility of prosecution or punishment, as the ICC had been in talks with the U.S. to coordinate extradition.      In a press conference at the White House, newly appointed White House Press Se...
