Weird: Christians Who Claimed They’d Come Back To Church After COVID Are Still Absent - The Babylon Bee

When Pastor Pewston delivered his sermon on Sunday he was expecting the pews to be packed with long-absent brethren, but he instead found himself face to face with the same ten people he sees every week.

That is strange.

Russia Removed From Apple Maps - The Babylon Bee

“As far as we’re concerned, Russia no longer exists on our detailed map of the entire world,” said CEO Tim Cook from his vacation home in Beijing. “And if Apple Inc. says you don’t exist, then you don’t exist! Russia is now the East Atlantic Ocean. Take that, Russia!”

Klain: White House may extend freeze on student loan payments again - Politico

Progressives and some other Democrats have expressed political concerns about sending tens of millions of Americans student loan bills before the midterm elections this fall — especially when prominent members of the party have been promising debt cancellation for years.

Nice to see them continuing to invest, but this is hardly a major decision.

Biden and the State of the Midterm Elections - WSJ Opinion

Mr. Biden’s speech then descended into a mind-numbing list of big-government proposals including a global minimum tax, a pandemic fraud prosecution chief, more apprenticeships, the Paycheck Fairness Act, a $15 minimum wage, more Pell grants, a child tax credit extension, community college grants, the PRO Act and more—each offered without priority or particular passion.

The delivery of this section was particularly flat. Most of the proposals didn’t get more than a name drop.

Even more disappointing is that I was sure he was building up to giving everyone a pony at the end, but it was the only thing he didn’t promise me!!
