JD Vance said it was a ‘misunderstanding’ that the Middle East ceasefire would actually involve cease firing and was fact checked into oblivion
9 April 2026 @ 3:00 pm
It’s no wonder JD Vance doesn’t like speaking in public unless he can just call his boss and put the phone up to the microphone. When Vance has to actually speak for himself, he can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth. After the White House went out of its way to praise itself for […]

Catholic convert JD Vance just made a comedy schoolboy error and it was a cardinal sin for the ages
9 April 2026 @ 2:52 pm
The current White House administration is so ignorant and destructive, it can pick a fight with the most forgiving and graceful people on the planet. On a related note, let’s hear from the Pope about the war between the United States and Iran. 🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust. […]

9 April 2026 @ 2:38 pm
Depending on who you believe, the war between the United States and Iran is either, A) over, B) not over, C) going horribly for everyone, but specifically the United States.

9 April 2026 @ 12:59 pm
Here’s a rather fabulous thing to take your mind off everything else going on right now. It’s a moment from Channel 5 series Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly and the comic timing of this particular four-legged participant is right up there with the very best.

An American ‘pleaser of the palate’ challenged people to name a better breakfast and these Brits were only too eager to oblige
9 April 2026 @ 12:48 pm
Time now to return to the always entertaining cultural divide between the United States and, well, pretty much anywhere else. But in this case it was the contrasting tastes in breakfast between Americans and the British which caught our attention after the Stateside culinary account Food Porn posted this. Name a breakfast better than biscuits […]

Sadly, this isn’t quite the case. And Vegas089 found out first hand just how rude people can be by putting the following […]

A conspiracy theorist reckoned the absence of stars from this Artemis II photo blows the whole thing wide open and it was an intergalactic self-own
9 April 2026 @ 10:04 am
There’s nothing like actually flying to the moon to encourage a certain type of person to insist that we’ve never actually flown to the moon. We say this after the latest pictures from Artemis II prompted this American dude who appears to be some sort of life coach and much else besides to seize on […]
