White House Defends Trump’s “Pope Post” as Part of Longstanding Presidential Tradition

Image
  by Danny Enright (2 Minute Read) Following backlash over an image of President Donald Trump dressed as the pope—posted just days after the funeral of Pope Francis—the White House pushed back on the criticism, describing it as part of a “long and noble” presidential tradition. “The media appears to have short memories!” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt remarked sharply at a briefing Thursday. “While some in the phäque media slander our great leader President Trump, they conveniently ignore the precedent set by previous Presidents.” Leavitt then presented a 2022 image of President Joe Biden, shared shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. (Seen at the top of this story)  “Remember this respectful image Biden posted?” she asked, gesturing to a slide projected behind her. “No FactsNews media outrage then.” At the time, then-Senator-elect J.D. Vance dismissed criticism of Biden’s post. “As a general rule, I'm fine with people telling jokes and not fine with ...

Berlin Crosswalk’s Opaloompa Man Claims 10,000th Tourist

Image
BERLIN — Danny Enright (1 minute read) - Once again, the streets of Berlin were washed in blood, as history recorded yet another victim of the city’s deadliest tourist attraction. The Opaloompa Man has now claimed his 10,000th victim — all in the name of the perfect vacation photo." The Opaloompa Man — officially the Ampelmännchen — is a jaunty green hat-wearing pedestrian signal figure who has been guiding Berliners safely across streets since the carefree days of East Germany.  Last night, local authorities confirmed the grim news: a 27-year-old lifestyle influencer from Manitoba was attempting to “get the perfect TikTok” with the Opaloompa Man on Friedrichstraße. Eyewitnesses say she stepped into oncoming traffic for a dynamic angle.

Last year, they created a zone solely for tourist selfies with a fake i...

Elon Musk to Help Reduce Cost of Living Crisis

Image
This is not a real picture of the event. Danny Enright (3 Minute Read)   Donald Trump signed an executive order today called “The Gift of Elon”.  It announced that Elon Musk will pay every American man, woman and child $1000 in April.  This is meant to act as a buffer against expected price impacts of the worldwide tariffs that the US is implementing on April 2, 2025.  Trump’s call upon the richest man in the world to share some of his wealth is expected to cost Musk a one time payment of  $340 billion.   Musk, who was in the Oval office during the announcement, was unaware of the contents of this latest Executive Order and lunged towards the President to “give him a hug”, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  Two secret service members intercepted Musk’s intended embrace, and while holding his hugging arms behind his back, walked him out of the Oval office as he danced back and forth, fondly shouting to President Tru...
