GDP comes in much lower than expected. Slow economic growth + inflation is the retro flashback to the 70s nobody needs right now.

Two people recently set themselves on fire at political protests. A man at Columbia lectured the crowd about the importance of martyrdom.

How far from reality have we drifted when a sitting member of Congress claims the real problem is the police were called?

Drag queen jihad hour is now a thing because absurdity and reality have become indistinguishable.

A prime example of the “FREE SPEECH” that they are so adamantly fighting to protect at Columbia University is the glorification of murderers and terrorists, and self-proclaimed “symbols of the intifada” whom they call “freedom fighters.” And nothing says more about a movement than who they
