Why Donald Trump Has a Star on the Walk of Fame (But Not a Nobel Peace Prize)

You Can Buy a Star. You Can’t Buy a Nobel. (Much to His Chagrin.) There’s a stretch of sidewalk in Hollywood where celebrity is paved into permanence—where stars are not born but bought. And there, nestled among legends and living punchlines, lies one Donald J. Trump. Immortalized in pink granite, gleaming like a MAGA fever […]

Tearin’ Down the House;

“Trump’s Ballroom Blitz: Bulldozing History During a Shutdown (Because Of Course He Is)” Trump’s East Wing Demolition Is Loud, Garish, and Perfectly Timed to the Collapse of Everything While federal workers go unpaid and the lights flicker off in government offices across the country, bulldozers are chewing through American history like it’s drywall on discount.

Thank You (Inflatable Nation)

A Pastoral Rant in Five Bounce-Filled Movements The world is on fire, and someone showed up dressed like a giant inflatable penis.Good.Not because it’s funny (though it is, deeply).
