Yesterday, at the direction of our clueless and complicit president, American military forces attacked targets in both Iraq and Syria. Because what better way to celebrate Groundhog Day than by airstriking more countries in the Middle East and dragging us back into pointless violence that only furthers anti-American sentiment abroad? Biden, the old dog, claimed that the US “isn’t seeking conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world”, which is hard to believe when we’re 34 days into the new year and we’ve already dropped bombs on multiple countries.
“The president of the US conducted air strikes in the Middle East” is a sentence that could’ve been written, and been true, in every presidency going back 44 years. What better way for Biden to fulfill his promise that “nothing will fundamentally change” than by doing the exact same thing that his predecessors have done.
On the topic of absurd decisions, earlier this week, Student Publishing Company (SPC), the parent company of Northwestern University’s student paper, The Daily Northwestern, announced it’s pressing Class A misdemeanor charges against two Black Northwestern students who created a parody cover of the paper to highlight the crisis of the genocide in Gaza. If convicted, these students could face jail time and/or a fine along with a permanent mark on their criminal record. This is how academic institutions are choosing to address what’s happening.
Thankfully the media coverage in the west is more measured and sensible…just kidding, the Wall Street Journal literally ran a headline yesterday titled, “Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital”. This is presumably in response to Biden’s visit to Michigan earlier this week, where he was ignored and admonished by the Arab-majority population in Dearborn. So Biden gets to drop bombs and alienate Arab and Muslim Americans without consequence, but any negative reaction from us is met with this kind of coverage.

He Was Holding a Sandwich: Casey Goodson Jr. was murdered by police in 2020, but the horrifying details surrounding his killing are only seeing the light of day now. Earlier this week a prosecutor shared for the first time that the 23-year-old’s handgun (legally registered, not that it matters), which a police officer claimed was his motive for shooting Goodson five times in the back, was actually inside the house with the safety on. The lying piglet claimed he “feared for his safety” because a Black man "aimed a gun at him”, but in actuality Casey Goodson Jr. was just holding a sandwich in one hand and keys in the other, and had AirPods in his ears when he was shot outside his grandmother's home. Defunding the police isn’t enough, these bozos need reeducation
RIP Apollo Creed: The legendary Carl Weathers, a former NFL linebacker who became a massive Hollywood action star with impressive comedic timing, passed away this week at the age of 76. Weathers was best known for playing enemy-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the “Rocky” franchise, as well as facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Predator” and teaching Adam Sandler how to play golf in “Happy Gilmore”
No More Mr. McCoy: Sam Waterston, the actor best known for playing the bushy-browed district attorney Jack McCoy on “Law & Order” has announced he’s stepping down from the role at the end of this month. Waterston is 83 years old and has featured in hundreds of episodes, dating back to the mid-90’s, so the man deserves a break. He was one of the first TV characters I recognized, thanks to my mother’s appreciation for the show, and he’ll go down as a legend in my book
