Donald Trump has been campaigning to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel committee doesn't give the prize to people who ask for it, but if they did, Trump would be the 5th president to get it.

What if you had to go a month without income? Two? Six?

Where would you be?

I don't love sports, but I love the way Philadelphia sports fans use "Go Phils" or "Go Birds" as a benediction.

"Go Birds" = "Peace be upon you"

The backlog in unemployment claims and appeals is so big that there are Pennsylvanians who lost their jobs in July, August, or September who have been waiting months to get unemployment compensation.

And what if Thanksgiving and Christmas fell in that period when you were trying to live without income? What would you do?

Hey @SEPTAPHILLY, I've been sitting at the Croydon station waiting for a train for 40+ minutes. A train finally showed up and drove right past the station without stopping. What gives?

Jared Kushner left the White House, got a $2 billion "investment" from the Saudi Public Investment Fund, and now he will advise the White House on any future Israel-Saudi normalization deal. No conflict of interest there!

BREAKING - Matt Gaetz resigns from the House, effective today

He just won re-election to House - and can’t be AG unless confirmed by Senate next year

So why now? Because House Ethics Committee is about to make decision on Gaetz’s alleged underage sex trafficking - in TWO DAYS

Hello!

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We're planning on making a very stupid website.

We've retained some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull it off.

I can't wait to show you what we cooked up.

The same applies to the "Black vote."

Black folks in, say, Philly, have a very different history and perspective from Black folks in Atlanta or Detroit. They don't all vote the same.

Both parties need to stop treating Latinos like one unit.

Like... do you all even know Latinos? Or even just 1 Latino?

Mexicans have different concerns and historical perspective from Cubans, who have different concerns and historical perspective from Nicaraguans, etc.
