Remember when electing Trump was going to lead to nuclear war with North Korea?

(Not really a fan of Trump, just amused by the fact that Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in are hugging it out rather than starting WWIII. Reminds me of the famous photo of Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker.)

Buying a pack of menthol cigarettes in Minneapolis is about to get tougher.

The City Council approved a restriction on menthol tobacco Friday, limiting sales to adult-only tobacco shops and liquor stores. The vote was the culmination of a community-led effort to reduce access to menthol tobacco, a product that historically has been marketed to black smokers...

None of the above.

(Seriously, get a grip.)

Q: "Did you collude with any person or persons inside Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election?"

Sometimes the simplest question is the correct one. Falsify a response to that question, and you have a Treason charge.

troll level pro:


During the 2016 election, Democrats told the public a Trump victory could mean nuclear war with North Korea.

A year and a half later, Donald Trump may be on the verge of receiving a Nobel Peace Prize.

Due to President Trump’s role in bridging the wide gap between North and South Korea, members of the House of Representatives have sent a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee which formally nominates Trump for the coveted Nobel Peace Prize.

Indiana’s Rep. Luke Messer lead the charge to make the nomination happen. In the letter, co-signed by several republican peers, Messer makes the case that Trump deserves the award due to his leadership in bringing peace to the historically unstable region.

I'm thinking that this is closer to the truth. Trump might have just gotten lucky in regards to timing of the "Good Kim/Bad Kim" cycle.

meanwhile in the rest of the world:


A man with “significant learning difficulties” was arrested and jailed after found in a Scottish street carrying a potato peeler “without reasonable excuse.”

The United Kingdom must be stopped.

Scott Walker, 39, was taken from custody to Dunfermline Sheriff Court where he admitted that he was carrying a potato peelerin a public place. Technically a potato peeler counts as an object that has a “blade” or is “sharply pointed.”

Potato peelers now join Nazi pugs on Scotland’s official “gulag” list.

Dunfermline Sheriff Court have since confirmed to Brietbart London that Walker has been charged under the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 and could receive up to four years’ imprisonment. He is due to be sentenced on the 16th of May.

Between London’s murder rate skyrocketing, girls being arrested for posting rap lyrics on Instagram, and the British police force bringing in crying rooms, the U.K is fast becoming the world’s biggest meme.

Watch out Canada, the British are coming.

COMMENTSHungary has struck loathing into the hearts of leftists with one simple trick: a massively successful border fence.

A multilayered electric barrier with razor wire has been erected in the Eastern European nation which NBC has summed up as “a modern-day iron curtain that stretches for 100 miles.”

In 2016, with the migrant crisis knocking on its door the country of Hungary was torn by equally loud voices on both sides. Located in the middle of the debate was the small village of Ásotthalom, situated directly against the Hungary-Serbia border, which previously saw a large influx of migrants primarily coming from Greece.

László Toroczkai, the mayor of Ásotthalom—a town of just over 4,000 residents—has been an outspoken proponent in securing the nation’s borders.

“I hope it inspires Americans,” he stated.

Toroczkai has been a polarizing figure who once sought to outright ban Muslims and gay people from Ásotthalom in an effort to “preserve traditions.”

Many consider the Hungarian border–currently manned by about 3,000 guards, dogs, thermal cameras, and soldiers–the first leg for migrants to reach the rest of the European Union. The new barrier replaced the previous single layer of fence that had been cut through easily and lacked proper security.

Germany, the epicenter of the migrant crisis, has seen a 10% increase in crime within two years. Of the increase, 92% have been attributed to young male migrants.

The migrant crisis reached a high of 138,000 refugees within a month in 2015, but has shown signs of easing up recently. Support for stricter migration laws have increased in many European nations, including Germany.

Last year, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic were sued by the European Union for openly refusing to fill their migrant “quota.”

“It saved my town,” Toroczkai said. “Calmness has returned.”
