President Donald Trump posted a video on his Twitter feed that says “Trump stands for peace” and shows what appears to be the medal used for the peace prize. This part of the video seems like an attempt to either imply he won the Nobel Peace Prize or simply indicate that he was nominated. It’s unclear and appears to be left for the viewer to craft their own interpretation of the imagery. However, there’s one big problem. Trump’s video used the wrong medal. The medal that Trump’s video used, which was viewed by over 8 million people, was actually something…

Those hoping for the $2,000 stimulus check in a time of need will be sadly disappointing. However, stimulus checks for $600, half of the previous check that was $1,200, were slated to begin shipping out last night, according to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. He posted the following message on social media, stating that “@USTreasury has delivered a payment file to the @FederalReserve for Americans’ Economic Impact Payments. These payments may begin to arrive in some accounts by direct deposit as early as tonight and will continue into next week (1/2). Mnuchin’s second post stated, that “Paper checks will begin to…

Mitch McConnell has now blocked the efforts to unanimously pass the House measure that would increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000. The Republican Senate Majority Leader offered no reason why he rejected the idea that was previously supported by the House and pushed ahead by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Many Democrats and some Republicans had supported the increase, at least on the surface, and the House approved it. The concept was then pushed to Senate for a vote and so far McConnell appears to be rejected the unanimous pass. The effort is not yet ended, but McConnell essentially put…

While the United States government bickers over a relief bill that includes direct payments to most Americans, it was Hollywood actress Kirstie Alley who came up with a solution that was only two sentences long. This was quite the decrease from the 5,000+ pages in the Congress version of the relief bill. The famed Cheers actress posted her idea on social media and over 54,000 people “liked” it so far. She kept it quite simple and said, “Here’s my bill…. it has 2 items. Congress takes no pay for 6 months. Americans receive $1,000 a month for 6 months. End…

Merry Christmas to anyone looking for a mysterious gingerbread monolith to mysteriously appear, because that’s exactly what happened in Corona Heights Park in San Francisco. Instead of it being a messy creation put together by family and friends, this one is gigantic and probably edible, but not exactly suggested because it’s been sitting outside for a while collecting dust and dirt on the icing and gooey gumdrops. The gingerbread monolith continues the craze of the mysterious monoliths that have been appearing in random locations across the globe, sparking hilarious conversations and random thoughts of “who done it.” Josh Ackerman was…

President Donald Trump has made another call for $600 stimulus checks to be increased to $2,000. This is at least his second public call for the stimulus amount to be increased for the American people. The president posted his message on Twitter, saying: “Made many calls and had meetings at Trump International in Palm Beach, Florida. Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600? It wasn’t their fault, it was China. Give our people the money!” The bill, which he has not signed, only called for $600 to most Americans, but Trump demanded an increase…

He also stated that more information will be forthcoming, leaving many to wonder what exactly is going on. Trump’s…

Pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell is facing a defamation lawsuit and demands to retract her claims about Dominion Voting Systems. Powell, a conservative pro-Trump attorney, has made what Dominion believes to be “wild, knowingly baseless, and false” allegations based in conspiracy that the 2020 election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden and essentially stolen from President Donald Trump, preventing his reelection. Dominion Voting Systems sent a letter to Powell pushing back on her claims. The letter, obtained by Insider, also takes aim at the Trump campaign and right-wing media outlets like Fox News, Newsmax, and the Rush Limbaugh show. It…

Jason Bateman was back on Saturday Night Live with a new monologue and he describes the time he hosted SNL and was attacked by a monkey 15 years ago. The Ozark star stated that he was in a weird sketch that involved a real monkey back in 2005 and “things were loose” back then, suggesting that today’s SNL might be using a prop or fake monkey.
