BOROWITZ REPORT 4/22/26
Iran Warns It Considers Having to Spend More Time With JD Vance an Act of War
TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—In a major setback for Donald J.
Trump, Iranian negotiators warned on Wednesday that having to
spend “even one more minute” with JD Vance would be considered
"an act of war."
"We spent twenty-one hours with this odious loser and refuse to
endure such excruciating torture ever again,” the Iranians’
statement read.
According to White House sources, Trump hopes that the mere
specter of being trapped in the same room as Vance will compel
Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and abandon their nuclear
program.
But his strategy could run afoul of the Geneva Conventions, which
consider a human repellent like Vance a biological weapon.

HOT TAKES: The Men We Pretend Not to Know CNN exposed an online rape market. The deeper scandal is the male culture that still treats men like this as aberrations instead of sons of the house.

#rape #Abuse #Women #Men #accountability #Culture

“ This rot grows in the everyday male culture that teaches women can be reduced, rated, mocked, and handled. A man who cannot bring himself to humiliate Kyle at the water cooler is no man at all.”

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Amid allegations of heavy
drinking, FBI Director Kash Patel is hoping to seem sober by
scheduling a joint appearance with Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth, sources close to Patel revealed on Tuesday.

“I need to hold a press conference with Pete after he's been on an
epic bender,” Patel reportedly told his staff. “If you can't find him,
get Jeanine Pirro.”

Appearing with Hegseth carries with it certain risks, however, as
Pentagon staffers have reported that merely standing next to him
has made them drunk.

But Patel told sources he is desperate to “do anything” to save his
job, sobbing, “I can't go back to flying coach.”

The problem with vet bills – a dog-owning economist explains.

Similar pressures and financial conflicts of interests in some cases in Canada too. The move to large corporations owning too much (vertical integration) should be discouraged.
