Donald Trump is not the kind of man who is willing to go along with accepted facts. From his subjective valuation of his business portfolio, through his bird-dogging of Barack Obama’s birth certificate to his tantrums about the deceptive sparseness of his inaugural crowds, Trump has pursued his own rages and fixations…
Lauren Conrad is having a baby. So is Whitney Port. Jason Wahler—L.C.’s ex!— and his wife are expecting, too. Maybe it’s because they’re all married and of the baby-making age. Or, maybe it’s because they’re colluding to put their babies on TV in a Laguna Beach/The Hills-spinoff in 18 to 20 years or so, because life…
People on the left love to say how gullible Republicans are, but it turns out we’re all stupid and bad. That explains a lot, doesn’t it?
A tenured professor at Florida Atlantic University, who was fired after claiming Sandy Hook was a hoax and then sued for his job back, has had portions of his lawsuit dismissed. The professor, James F. Tracy, writes a blog claiming Sandy Hook never happened, and when Sandy Hook parent Lenny Pozner asked him to take…
It’s only natural that after shooting up a pizza parlor because you believed it could be operating a child sex ring on behalf of Hillary Clinton and you just wanted the facts, you might come to regret some stuff. According to a New York Times article published on Wednesday, “Pizzagate” shooter Edgar Welch, apparently…
On Sunday, a 28-year-old man from Salisbury, North Carolina, fired shots inside a pizzeria in northwest Washington, D.C. Armed with an assault rifle, he later told police he wanted to “self-investigate” a fraudulent election conspiracy theory connected to Hillary Clinton.
Last night I was sitting in bed, exhausted and sick, when I decided to yell questions at Siri about Barbara Bush’s height. I had recently read a report on Jezebel.com about Siri claiming Barbara Bush is just four feet tall, and I wanted to try it for myself. None of my coworkers believe me, but what happened next was…
The other night, while high Googling before bed, I got to thinking about the Bushes, in general, and Barbara Bush, in particular. I told my husband about how I think she cuts quite an intimidating figure and he agreed. So, I wondered, how tall is this woman who bedded down with one former president and birthed…
Ohio Governor John Kasich has swatted down claims from his party’s nominee that the election will be “rigged,” telling CBS This Morning: “Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen, that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly. That’s how silly it is.” True! It is like saying…
Obviously, spoilers.
One of the oddest things about this, the worst election in human history, is the hulking, sweating, screaming presence of Alex Jones. The conspiracy theory king of InfoWars has gone from the raving-est margins of American public life to being, by all appearances, good buddies with the Republican presidential…
Fox News’s 20th anniversary is today, and everything is going really well on their end. Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly are great friends, no one is suing anyone for sexual harassment, and Hillary Clinton recently spontaneously combusted, raining a cascade of green goo and Benghazi dust onto a New York City sidewalk.
Many of Trump’s supporters live in a colorful and exciting universe not burdened by the confines of reality. Among their favorite hobbies is inventing conspiracies about their chosen candidate’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, and until last night we had every reason to think Trump supporters would believe just about…
A very ambitious and evidently serious American expatriate is trying to raise $1.5 million to “recreate” the September 11 attacks in an empty field in Thailand by crashing an aircraft into a building at 500 miles per hour. He’s promising front-row seats to anyone who donates $5,000 or more.
With his bouncing body, looming grin, and wild hair, Richard Simmons might have terrified me as a child, but it gives me no pleasure to report that the New York Daily News published a story on the fact that his friends are pretty convinced the exercise mogul and TV personality is being held hostage in his own home by…
Let’s play a game I like to call Cold War: Redux, where terms like “dead from a heart attack” actually mean “dead by a fatal beating for someone who was very, very unhappy with you...XOXO Gossip Putin.”
Before we begin, just know that I don’t want to take up too much of your time with this. It’s worth mentioning only because there’s a good chance you’ll hear rumblings about it at work or on Facebook or while posting on your favorite Katy Perry message board, and I don’t want you to be caught off guard.
There are going to be kookoos any time a celebrity dies—we weren’t there when it happened, so, invariably, we don’t know the real truth. I am cool with this because I love to dream, since dreaming doesn’t hurt anyone. But we have just hit the conspiracy jackpot: the 79-year-young Antonin Scalia, a highly-controversial…
Noted conspiracy theorist, Illuminati-believer, racist and “lovable” anti-Semite Alex Jones has made yet another grab for the spotlight. After reports of the passing of conservative U.S. Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia on February 13, the founder of the site InfoWars.com said he believes that Scalia was murdered in a…
On Monday night’s premiere of The Bachelor Season 20, there were few surprises, except that Ben Higgins was sexually appealing. That was crazy. But otherwise, it was pretty standard: Chris Harrison was tan, a Fox News employee got the first impression rose, someone brought in a mini-horse, and the redhead got sent…
