The Trump administration rolled out sweeping tariffs this week, taking aim at targets at a Penguin Island tariff, a territory only inhabited by animals. Times are tough as Trump’s trade war expand to this, eh? More specifically known as the Heard and McDonald Islands, this desolate, ice-covered patch of wilderness 4,000 kilometers off Australia is suddenly part of a global trade shakedown. The move leaves many wondering about its strategy, impact, and global reaction. Penguin Island Tariff… WTF? One theory of why Trump is doing this is that Penguin Island, an Australian territory, has become a tax haven for companies…

Although it’s cer­tain­ly more plau­si­ble than hypothe­ses like ancient aliens or lizard peo­ple, the idea that slaves built the Egypt­ian pyra­mids is no more true. It derives from cre­ative read­ings of Old Tes­ta­ment sto­ries and tech­ni­col­or Cecil B. Demille spec­ta­cles, and was a clas­sic whataboutism used by slav­ery apol­o­gists. The notion has “plagued Egypt­ian schol­ars for cen­turies,” writes Eric Betz at Dis­cov­er. But, he adds emphat­i­cal­ly, “Slaves did not build the pyra­mids.” Who did? The evi­dence sug­gests they were built by a force of skilled labor­ers, as the Ver­i­ta­si­um video above explains. These were cadres of elite con­struc­tion work­ers who…

Saturday Night Live got the last laugh! One week after Morgan Wallen abruptly left the show near its ending after serving as the musical guest on the March 29 episode, the late-night comedy sketch series poked fun at the moment twice during its April 5 airing.

It’s called Heard and McDonald Island,” Johnson, 35, said as the politician.…

For My Sunday Song #427, we are going all the way to Switzerland and talk about the song “Lift You Up” by Gotthard. The song is off their album ‘Lipservice’ which came out on June 5, 2005. The album went to #1 in Switzerland and charted in a handful of other countries. I think they are the highest selling band to come out of Switzerland surpassing Krokus. I hope I’m not wrong in that fact. It was a single and they even did a video which you can see below. If you didn’t know, the band consists of the amazing…

Do our current debates over DEI mean that we now have to relitigate all of America’s history? To look at recent headlines, you could be forgiven for thinking so. Recently, the Air Force was hit with a stunning example of malicious compliance in the wake of President Trump’s executive order banning discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. After the EO resulted in a temporary takedown of educational material on the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black fighter pilots, the takedown sparked backlash, including from Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and newly-instated Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, with the material on the…

Cricket South Africa (CSA) faces a major transition following the sudden resignation of Rob Walter, who had been serving as the head coach for South Africa’s white-ball teams.
