According to NASA, the first solar eclipse was in 3340 BCE. But wearing “eclipse glasses” is a recent safety precaution, dating back only to the 1970s. Therefore, that first eclipse, and others throughout the “dark ages,” must have caused a high incidence of “eclipse blindness.” Given that experience, you have to wonder why our eyes… Read more.
The Rock: wannabe president afraid of politics Yesterday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson expressed regret that he endorsed Biden in 2020 and pledged not to do so again.

On Monday, I skewered Kanye West in a commentary over his audacious demand that everyone call him Ye. He was aping Sean P. Diddy Combs (aka Puff Daddy), who has made similar demands over the years. More to the point, I noted that Ye was channeling Diddy in ways that could see both facing bankruptcy and even imprisonment stemming from allegations of sexual abuse. Feds… Read more.
Trump begs MAGA supporters to save his gilded tower Donald Trump shamelessly milks his MAGA supporters for money to cover his bills.
