By John M. Barry No matter their politics, people nearly always listen to those who say what they want to hear. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. https://t.co/Hkj9FSRG5y — John Sipher (@john_sipher) October 19, 2020 Hence, it is no surprise that the White House and several governors are now paying close attention to the “Great Barrington Declaration,” a proposal written by a group of well-credentialed scientists who want to shift Covid-19 policy toward achieving herd immunity — the point at which enough people have become immune to the virus that its spread becomes unlikely. Is this Melania? A rare, […]

Las Vegas is known as the world’s boxing capital and has been host to many of history’s biggest fights.

As President Donald Trump received treatment for the coronavirus at Walter Reed Medical Center last week, he and his aides worked on the stagecraft for his big return home. It needed to be showy and it would require television networks to have their cameras pointed at the White House during the beginning of their primetime shows. Disembarking from Marine One, Trump walked across the lawn, climbed two flights of stairs to the balcony of the residence, looked directly at the cameras and removed his mask. It was as overly dramatic as it was medically dangerous. For the White House the goal […]
Donald Trump hosted hundreds of people outside the White House on Saturday for his first in-person event since contracting COVID-19—but his administration wouldn’t say whether he’s still infected with the virus. “We gotta vote these people into oblivion,” Trump told the crowd of supporters in a brief 18 minute speech from a White House balcony. The in-person event marked Trump’s return to the campaign spotlight after announcing his COVID-19 diagnosis on Oct. 2 and being hospitalized at Maryland’s Walter Reed hospital. Trump appeared on several conservative media outlets, and plans to hold rallies in Florida on Monday, Pennsylvania on Tuesday and […]
With just a few more weeks to go until Election Day, Jordan Klepper is still putting his life on the line to make fun of Trump supporters at the president’s increasingly irresponsible rallies.

Manchester United fans are divided after the club announced the capture of former Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani on a free transfer on Monday. The club confirmed the Uruguayan, who was a free agent after he left PSG when his contract expired in June, has signed a two-year-deal at Old Trafford.

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra led the way as fans of the Old Trafford club vented their fury and despair after a 6-1 home hammering at the hands of former manager Jose Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur. United took the lead at Old Trafford inside two minutes through a Bruno Fernandes penalty, but Tottenham were ahead after seven minutes after they quickly responded through Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-min.

LONDON—Police helicopters and emergency dispersal measures were needed in the early hours of Saturday morning as cops battled to stop soccer fans gathering in a known coronavirus hotspot to celebrate Liverpool’s long overdue Premier League title.

Who knew that K-pop stans’ talent for Twitter spamming could be harnessed for good—or that it would be so fun to watch? For years, fans of Korean pop groups like BTS have become famous (and, at times, infamous) for slathering social media with videos of their favorite artists. But over the past week, K-pop diehards have been putting their skills to another use: flooding police apps and harmful hashtags with videos of dancing pop stars to support Black Lives Matter protesters. They crashed a Dallas police cam app on Monday; they flooded the #WhiteLivesMatter hashtag on Wednesday; and on Friday they […]
Barcelona fans are being given the chance to recreate the look of their heroes by buying replicas of masks that the club’s squad and coaching staff are wearing to training – but fans say the products are capitalizing on COVID-19.

President Donald Trump’s Saturday morning started like so many of his mornings do: with a very early Twitter tirade. The president praised lockdown protesters harassing a local TV reporter, retweeted a cartoon depicting Rep. Adam Schiff as the Joker, and lauded a video of a right-wing columnist who was shunned by conservatives for supporting a Holocaust denier. In a spree of at least 28 tweets starting Saturday morning, Trump retweeted the video of Michelle Malkin, a former Fox News contributor who has since aligned herself with the most virulent corners of the far-right. In the video, Malkin very loudly complained about […]

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel apologized for airing a deceptive clip that appeared to show Vice President Mike Pence delivering empty boxes to a nursing home. The vice president’s office apparently demanded an “on-air” apology as well. They got a lot more than that Monday night. “The trouble started because at one point in the video, after awkwardly lugging heavy boxes to the door, Mike Pence finds some empty boxes in the back of the van,” Kimmel explained. It turns out Pence was “joking” when he asked if he could just carry the empty boxes for the photo op. “How anyone can […]
It’s starting to get warmer, and even though I have AC, I am someone who is perennially hot, especially at night. A great way to avoid this is with an additional fan.

To help you stay cool, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite box fans. FOR A STANDARD BOX FAN […]
