NBC's Saturday Night Live was ripped by the New York Times for allowing anti-woke humor to prevail in last weekend's show. In that spirit, I'm disappointed that Black History Month was only given February. I think they should have been given March because that's their favorite outdoor activity.

Kylie Jenner's boyfriend Travis Scott's huge mansion was slipping down the rain-soaked hill in Brentwood. Kim Kardashian drove Kanye to insanity and Chloe destroyed Lamar Odom. I'm starting to think the Kardashians have replaced the police as the number-one threat to young black men in America.

A Seattle comedy club canceled a show ahead of time Friday due to protests that the comics are free speech advocates and might offend the community. I was offended at the grocery store last week and I laughed my arse off. There's a sign over Aisle 6 which reads Asian Foods, Hispanic Foods and Crackers.

The National Guard ordered a safety stand down after two more helicopters crashed this week. I blame diversity, equity and inclusion. If you believe women have trouble parallel parking or Asian drivers might be accident prone, you should see them try to land an Apache helicopter on Devil's Tower.

A Dallas judge ruled that the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones must take a paternity test in a dispute with a female Texas plaintiff who is suing that the billionaire is her biological father. If Jerry turns out to be the father, there is one upside. At least someone on the Cowboys completed a pass.

Google apologized for its Chat GTP platform going woke and depicting historical figures and even Nazi soldiers as black. Frankly, Artificial Intelligence confounds me. I've spend my life trying to discover what it is that makes us humans, and it turns out to be selecting three images with traffic lights.

Gavin Newsom signed a law raising the minimum wage for California fast food restaurants to twenty dollars an hour. Immediately Chipotle's announced they will be raising prices. As if food inflation were not bad enough, it's not good news for Biden that diarrhea will now cost twenty percent extra.

President Biden passed his annual presidential physical at the Walter Reed Medical Center with flying colors last week. They did find the tapeworm in his intestine which Joe nicknames Donald. After the exam the doctor pronounced President Biden every bit as fit to lead the nation as Jimmy Carter.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky addressed reporters last week and announced he will be stepping down as the Republican Leader in the Senate after a record run in power. To his credit, Mitch refused to step down until he passed a historic milestone. I believe it's passed through the urethra.

Hunter Biden will testify in a televised hearing before the House Oversight Committee after his closed door deposition Wednesday. His mood was surly. Days earlier, President Trump's son Donald Jr. received a packet of suspicious white powder in the mail and Hunter is furious he didn't get one, too.

Hunter Biden told the House he put Joe on speaker phone while pitching business clients but he said Joe closed no sales. He also said Joe attended business dinners but did nothing for his business. I think Hunter reads the polls and he knows he can't go wrong with the Joe-is-just-a-potted-plant defense.

Donald Trump and Joe Biden's visit to Texas Thursday shed a bright light on the illegal migrant crisis. More federal money is en route to the border, and the word is getting around. That day an alligator swam up onto the Texas shore of the Rio Grande and said he's here for the Border Control job.

Donald Trump and President Biden staged dueling speeches at the Mexico border Thursday. It didn't move the 2024 needle. The latest national poll shows the presidential race is still dead even with half the electorate supporting No Preference with the other half solidly behind None of the Above.

President Biden flew to the Mexican border Thursday where he made his case for the Senate bill giving the Border Patrol more money to process arrivals. Critics call the bill flood control not a dam. Joe Biden looked across the Rio Grande at Mexico and called on President El-Sisi to tear down this wall.

Donald Trump arrived at the border Thursday and claimed twenty million illegal migrants have entered the U.S. on Biden's watch, but it could be more. The people that I chat with every day at the grocery store, the dry cleaners, the bank and CVS have a nickname for me. They call me the American.

The Hollywood Reporter says ABC is having trouble selling commercial time for the Academy Awards. From watching it on TV, I've always thought the awards season in Hollywood is actually the Red Carpet Cleavage Season. It's no accident that the SAG Awards always follow the Golden Globes.

The NFL Scouting Combine is held all this weekend in Indianapolis. It's not just about running sprints, lifting weights and agility drills. The young players also receive lectures from the pros on the little things, like how much do you tip the police officer when he opens the squad car back door for you?

The Supreme Court agreed to consider Trump's contention that a U.S. president is immune from criminal action in office. It could delay Trump's trial all the way to 2025 alleging he incited an insurrection in 2021. And the label says consult your doctor if an insurrection lasts four years or longer.

President Biden underwent his annual presidential physical at Walter Reed Medical Center on Wednesday in Washington. The examining doctors said that Joe Biden's vital signs all look good. However during Joe's colonoscopy they found an open border and treasure trove of classified material.

Chicago Judge Tracie Porter took Trump's name off the 2024 ballot in Illinois Wednesday. She may not have thought this all the way through career-wise. Donald Trump faces four indictments and ninety-one criminal charges and if convicted he could get four-to-eight years as Mayor of Chicago.

Chicago's Cook County Judge cited the 14th Amendment's ban on insurrectionists from federal office to take Trump off the ballot. It won't hold up. The article applied to Confederate officers not civilians, and Trump is the President of the Confederacy, which is a civilian post, so it'll get overturned.

Donald Trump visited the border at Eagle Pass Thursday while Joe Biden visited the border at Brownsville as new poll numbers show border security is the country's top concern. They could shut down the border a lot faster than they can solve inflation. Food is so expensive it's cheaper to eat money.

The Daily Mail reported parents in Scotland are furious over a Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory tour for children in Glasgow. They said the factory looked less like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and more like a meth lab in an abandoned warehouse. Ironically, children would be safer touring a meth lab.

Family Life reports that family tensions are erupting between parents and their kids who prefer screen time to play time these days. I think technology could be robbing kids of a genuine childhood. For instance, kids today are unable to play Hide-and-Seek, because Google tells everyone where you are.
