  • Ruled By Fear: This Man Irrationally Refuses To Fly Despite There Being Almost Zero Chance He Would Ever Wind Up In A Sixth Plane Crash - Clickhole

    Accidents like the five that have befallen Semple are so rare, in fact, that it’s actually far more likely that he’ll be struck by lightning than it is that he’ll once more hear that now-familiar whine of an aircraft he’s on plummeting from the sky.

    Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence - Catholic Husband

    It’s easy to think that the end of the world that Jesus promised is some far off date, and unlikely to happen in our lifetimes. With so much to focus on here, now, today, not taking a moment to pause to comprehend the magnitude of this event is easy. The song brilliantly reminds us of the virtue of fear of the Lord. We will experience this great last battle, and if we are on the right side, it will be a time of complete joy.

    Magnet - Catholic Husband

    No matter where I go, they curiously pursue me. Sometimes they have an ask, something that they want. Other times, they literally follow me to the other room with their activity and establish a new base of operations.

  • ‘We Applaud Caesar For Doing The Right Thing And Stepping Down,’ Says Senator Holding Bloody Knife - Babylon Bee

    Cassius and his fellow senator Marcus Junius Brutus, who were both present at a hastily organized retirement party for Caesar, said that the former Emperor who had not been seen for the last six days displayed “true patriotism” in selflessly bowing out.

  • Activision Announces Release Of ‘Call Of Duty: Moderately Sloped Roof’ - Babylon Bee

    “This is the most difficult, extreme campaign we have ever made,” said Masterson. “You have to literally crawl on your tummy up a slight slope and not fall down. Then, you have roughly twenty minutes to line up your shot. I’m light-headed just talking about it.”

  • Dems Pull Off Successful Insurrection - Babylon Bee

    According to sources, Democratic party elites have worked tirelessly to overthrow the candidate chosen by voters, using everything from donation boycotts to blackmail. “It took everything we have, but we have deposed the democratically elected candidate of our party,” said former President Obama proudly. “Democracy has been saved.”

  • Barack Obama Strikes Again - WSJ Opinion

    As No. 2 in the Biden White House, Ms. Harris was in a key position to witness the president’s decline. Yet she too was happy to keep it from the American people. Now she asks them to trust her with the presidency?

    Everyone in the room has an obligation to explain their conduct on this point.

  • Another Coronation for Kamala - WSJ Opinion

    Ms. Harris said on Sunday that she intends to “earn” her party’s nomination. That would be a change for a politician who’s floated to the top in a one-party Democratic state with powerful patrons boosting her. The upshot has been that she has neither the substantive record nor the skills that other candidates might.

    She has a real shot at winning in November, but her soup-to-nuts uncontested ascent poses very real risks.

    Sacred Silence - Catholic Husband

    There’s little refuge in the world, too few spaces for sacred silence. In the Bible, time and again, God uses the quiet to reveal Himself and His heart. Drown out by noise, He chooses to not pierce through.

  • ‘Let’s Settle This At The Ballot Box,’ Says Party That Tried To Kick Trump Off Ballots - Babylon Bee

    “Let me be perfectly clear,” said President Biden. “The idea that political violence, look, this is America, and there is no place for semi-assault, automatic weapons in our – well, anyway. In November, we will sort things out at the battle box!”

  • Goliath Claims He Only Lost Because He Fought David On Slightly Sloped Surface - Babylon Bee

    According to the scroll, the Israelites were quick to point out that the hill David was standing on only had a five-degree slope. The Philistines, however, vehemently maintained that it wasn’t a fair fight because it violated safety rules for Goliath to try to fight on any sort of inclined terrain.

    At publishing time, another portion of the scroll revealed Goliath explaining that he was just one quick head turn away from David’s sling causing nothing but a scratched ear.

    Summer Break - Catholic Husband

    It’s another great, periodic reminder of what it means to be a parent. There’s the providing and the protecting, but there is also the play. Children are a great gift, eager to experience life and far from jaded. It’s a vision of the world that God intended, and the one that is to come.

  • Quarantining the Conspiracy Swamps - WSJ Opinion

    Mr. Biden was employing a metaphor, however inapt given our current political distemper. He wasn’t giving orders to anyone to shoot Mr. Trump, and if he wanted to do so he wouldn’t do it in public. Mr. Collins is among those who think Mr. Biden lacks the mental acuity to be President, but he then accuses him of masterminding a conspiracy.

  • The Shooting of Donald Trump - WSJ Opinion

    The near assassination of Donald Trump could be a moment that catalyzes more hatred and an even worse cycle of violence. If that is how it goes, God help us.

    Or it could be a redemptive moment that leads to introspection and political debate that is fierce but not cast as Armageddon. The country was spared the worst on Saturday and this is a chance to pull out of a partisan death spiral. That is the leadership Americans are desperate to see.

  • The world is a dangerous place.

    The trend towards a full-blown gerontocracy is deeply troubling. The American voter is more concerned with getting their team into power than what’s best for the country.

    The President is largely incoherent, Mitch McConnell freezes, John Fetterman had a stroke on the campaign trail and was elected very early in his recovery, and Rep. Jennifer Wexford has a severe neurological condition that has taken away her speech.

    We cannot regain our youth or our health, and there’s great dignity and maturity in acknowledging those sobering thoughts.

    The business of protecting the free world and governing the world’s preeminent democracy takes serious people who are leaders in their field and at the top of their game. Safeguarding our liberty requires nothing less.

  • Biden Accidentally Introduces Ukraine’s Zelensky as ‘President Putin’ - WSJ

    “Now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin,” Biden said. He quickly corrected himself: “President Putin? He’s going to beat President Putin. President Zelensky. I’m so focused on beating Putin, we’ve gotta worry about it.”
