Strange Fruit
Ask Google the question “who predicted Trump winning the election?” and you get 19.3 million results. Most are about professors with oddball prediction systems, or the rare pollster who got it right, or the liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, who famously sent out a mass gut-level warning about Donald Trump’s appeal last summer.

Spaced
A little something from the Bezos enemies of the people : President Trump’s ceremony Friday to bring back the National Space Council began to confuse people even before it took place. “At some point in the future, we’re going to look back and say how did we do it without space?” is how the president put it. “The human soul yearns for discovery,” Trump said. “Our journey into space will not only m

Then, there on the television: a woman, and Mean to Mongo! Nothing makes a man feel better than making a fake cover of a magazine about himself , lying every day, and destro
