Move over lemonade stands—there's a new, far more professional hustle in tow
Remembering Joe: An Autopen Memoir
It's almost ELDER ABUSE. Joe Biden released a documentary-style trailer for his memoir, "Promise Me, America". He was bumbling so bad, they even had to include subtitles.

Despite being a top 10 fastest growing state, CNBC has revealed Tennessee as the WORST state to live in.

Air Conditioners And Old Glory Are EVIL

The View Gets Vance-inated

Not Packing Enough At 3.5 Inches

Chaos In The USA
Karmelo Anthony was found GUILTY and it once again feels like there are two versions of America from the divide.

Better Dead Than Bread!!
Ever hear of "dead bread?" Probably best you didn't know its secret ingredient! Trump's renovations of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool are SO good even Libs can't find anything to argue about?

County Clerk Wanda Halbert is suing the Election Commission to contest the results of a May 5 primary election that showed her losing the Criminal Court Clerk's race by 126 votes.

Final Curtain Call For Colbert
The most unfunny late-night host (probably ever?), Stephen Colbert, will be hosting his last show tonight and instead of blaming the network, or himself for not making them money, it's of course Trump's fault!

Paychecks. NOT Participation Trophies!

"WHY ARE YOU CRYING COHEN?"
After accusing Republicans for "Jim Crow 2.0" after the Congressional Redistricting, claiming that the GOP is ending black representation, Rep. Cohen ENDORSED A WHITE DEMOCRAT FOR THE 5th DISTRICT.
