WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of the United States declared on Tuesday that lying by politicians is protected by the First Amendment because it is an expression of their religion.

By a 5–4 majority, the Court struck down an Ohio law that would make it harder to lie in political ads, arguing instead that “any attempt to restrict or punish lying by politicians is an unconstitutional infringement on a religion they have practiced for decades.”   Continue reading “Supreme Court Calls Lying By Politicians An Expression Of Their Religion”

So today I just got fired from my job because the trainer at my company and a new girl decided to snitch on me because I was frustrated with a sales order that I was forced to take the other day which I had no training and no experience in handling and management told me to just go with it. So mind you, I’m a regular worker and not a new hire and this order would cost both the company and the customer thousands of dollars if it was handled incorrectly. So why would you allow someone who was never trained on how to handle it, to take the order and tell him to just “go with it”?

In any case, I got frustrated as any sane person would and said, “Ugh! I could just shoot someone right now”.   Continue reading “Living In A “See Something, Say Something” World”

If you are a gun owner in the United States, you may have experienced ammunition shortages at big box firearms retailers and local gun stores in the past few years. While some industry experts claim the shortages are simply due to a normal increase in consumer demand, Keith Jacobs, the founder of AmmoIndependence.com, says “secret gun control” tactics are also to blame.

According to Jacobs, the United States government has created false scarcity in ammunition markets by driving down the supply of ammo through major federal agency ammo purchases.    Continue reading “Are Ammo Shortages in the United States Part of a Federal Secret Gun Control Plan?”

The “Tortoise and the Hare” is an Aesop fable about a hare who ridicules a slow-moving tortoise and challenges him to a race. The egotistical, pompous hare takes off and is so confident he will win, the hare decides to take a long nap. When the hare awakens he finds out, much to his dismay, that the slow moving, patient tortoise has won the race.

While the Nevada “endangered” desert tortoise has slowly been winning the Bureau of Land Management race in Nevada, a napping “Harey Greed” has been mysteriously becoming a multi-millionaire on his $193,400 Senate salary. Could it be that Harey is using his position of power to regulate the Nevada law to benefit himself, his family and his political crony capitalists; rules and regulations that enable the government to seal off public land that has been used agriculturally for decades?   Continue reading “Who Will Win the Race? The Tortoise, the Hare, the Chinese, or the Americans?”

In February, reports filtered in from Germany that two men died of cardiac arrhythmia triggered by marijuana intoxication. At a headline’s glance, the tragic deaths seemed to spoil cannabis’ unblemished track record: Until that point, no cases of fatal overdose were known to science.

It should be noted, however, that these two men — aged 23 and 28 — did not overdose. The researchers who reviewed their deaths in the journal Forensic Science International reportedthat “the younger man had a serious undetected heart problem and the older one had a history of alcohol, amphetamine and cocaine abuse.” Since all other causes of death were ruled out, the researchers assumed that marijuana spiked their heart rates and blood pressures, causing their hearts to fall out of rhythm.   Continue reading “It’s Easier to Die from Drinking Too Much Water Than Smoking Too Much Pot”

No doubt inspired in part by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who called supporters of the Bundy ranch “domestic terrorists,” a number of liberals on Twitter expressed their desire to see the ranch and its supporters killed by drone strikes, Paul Joseph Watson reported at Infowars Monday. Such a raid would, of course, kill innocent children as well as men and women, but it seems that didn’t matter to those demanding the deadly raid.

“If ever there was a time for a drone strike, I’d say Bundy’s self-appointed militia should’ve been turned into paste on the prairie,” one person said.   Continue reading “Liberals on Twitter demand feds kill Bundy family, supporters with drones”
