Jimmy Kimmel lied about Charlie Kirk’s assassin being MAGA, this caused understandable outrage all over America, prompted TV station owners to say they wouldn’t air him, and he’s now been suspended by his employers. Why is he being heralded as some kind of free speech martyr?

@cheryl_cas73408 @JohnCremeansX Doesn’t matter. It’s like a fumble in football. She dropped it. It’s not hers until she has it in her possession. Those are the unspoken rules.

Baseball stadium etiquette my entire life has always been, whoever grabs the ball gets it. It doesn’t belong to you just because it lands in front of you, or because you tried to grab it, or even because you had your fingers on it and dropped it. And if you get the ball, and give it to your son on his birthday - even better.

Jerry Jones Declares Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Champions, Citing “Texas Logic”

ARLINGTON — In a bold move that startled fans, delighted sports radio hosts, and left statisticians grasping for their calculators, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced Monday morning that the Cowboys are already Super Bowl champions — never mind that the NFL season hasn’t even kicked off yet.

Standing on the star at midfield in AT&T Stadium, Jones raised the Lombardi Trophy — well, a replica from the team gift shop — and declared, “Why wait until February? We’re the Dallas Cowboys. Champions then, champions now. It’s official.”

When asked how he could crown his team so early, Jones pointed to what he called “a new precedent in Texas politics.”

“I’m just following the playbook down in Austin,” Jones said with a grin. “Those House Democrats came back from their walkout, declared victory on the redistricting bill, and celebrated — even though their return guarantees the very bill they opposed is about to pass. If they can declare victory in defeat, I can sure as heck declare victory before kickoff.”

The announcement comes just days after Texas Democrats ended their weeks-long absence, having fled the state to block quorum on a Republican-backed redistricting plan. Their return, hailed by party leaders as a moral triumph, effectively paved the way for the bill’s passage.

Jones said the political spectacle gave him inspiration. “In football, we’re always looking for an edge,” he said. “Turns out, the real edge is just declaring you’ve already won. I’m not letting politicians have all the fun.”

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, when asked about his owner’s declaration, chuckled nervously. “Well, it’s nice to know expectations are high,” he said. “But I guess that’s business as usual in Dallas.”

Las Vegas oddsmakers, meanwhile, declined to pay out any bets.

As for Cowboys fans, reactions were mixed. Some took to social media to celebrate what they called the team’s “earliest championship in franchise history,” while others muttered that Jones may have just jinxed the season before it began.

Whether or not the Cowboys actually raise the Lombardi Trophy this season, one thing is clear: in Texas, sometimes it’s not about whether you win or lose — it’s about who declares victory first.

I watched Troy Dungan on WFAA Channel 8 for most of his 31 years there. I got to meet Troy when he appeared at VHA’s Santa’s Helpers toy drive, and I played Santa. I was delighted to be able to share the photo of the two of us for this article.

No Kings? Democrats didn't think so in 2012. Let's jump in the Way Back Machine to June 8, 2012, and see what CNN was reporting.

New York (CNN)
Can liberals ever be happy? I keep asking myself this question as I hear an increasing number complaining about President Obama.

There seems to be a Greek chorus of liberal whining: “I’m disappointed by him.” “I expected more.” “I thought he would be different.”

A new Gallup Poll released this week found that President Obama’s support among liberals was at its lowest point in seven months, although it’s still a solid majority of 70%.

What’s clear is that the liberals speaking out don’t want a president, they want a king. Albeit a liberal king – but still a king, who would be unrestrained by Congress as well as the checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution.

Republican Party Announces "No Queens" Rally, Sparks Controversy Amid Pride Month
By Carl Kolchak
(Independent News Service, Chicago)

The Republican Party has announced plans to host a "No Queens" rally on Saturday, June 28, aiming to build on the momentum of the recent "No Kings" protests held by Democrats on Flag Day. Party leaders describe the rally as a tongue-in-cheek critique of monarchical symbols in American culture, while framing it as an effort to include those excluded from the previous event’s messaging.

The rally, which is set to take place in Springfield, Missouri, has already drawn sharp criticism from Democratic leaders and LGBTQ advocacy groups, who accuse the event of being a veiled attack on Pride Month celebrations.

"Democrats went after Kings; we’re saying, 'Let’s not forget about Queens,'" said Republican National Committee spokesperson Rob Walker. "This rally is about inclusivity. The idea is to continue the conversation started on Flag Day and broaden its scope."

However, Democratic organizers and LGBTQ activists contend that the Republican event is a deliberate provocation designed to undermine Pride Month, pointing to the timing and tone of the rally as evidence.

"This so-called 'No Queens' rally is nothing more than an anti-Pride protest in drag," said Tanya Ramirez, director of the Equality Alliance Network. "It's a blatant dog whistle, wrapped in layers of plausible deniability."

The GOP has denied these accusations, emphasizing that the rally is unrelated to Pride Month and instead focuses on "symbolic anti-elitism" and “unity through satire.”

Critics argue the rally's messaging is deeply insensitive, with some suggesting it deliberately weaponizes the term "Queens" to target LGBTQ communities.

"At best, it’s tone-deaf. At worst, it’s malicious,” said Rep. Ethan Moore (D-Calif.). “No one is buying their spin.”

Meanwhile, grassroots organizers from both political parties are preparing for potential counter-protests and demonstrations. Local law enforcement officials have indicated that they are coordinating with both the rally’s organizers and opposing groups to ensure safety.

As the June 28 rally approaches, political analysts say the controversy highlights the broader cultural divisions playing out on the national stage.

"This rally and the surrounding uproar underscore the ways in which cultural symbolism and political strategy often intersect," said Dr. Marian Levitt, a professor of political science at Georgetown University. "What one group views as satire, another interprets as a direct threat."

Whether the event serves as a unifying gesture or a flashpoint for further discord remains to be seen, but for now, the debate surrounding "No Queens" shows no signs of quieting.

Hostess Brands Drops “King Dons” Name Amid Protest Backlash, Reverts to “Ding Dongs”
By Ron Updyke, Independent News Service
Kansas City, MO (June 16, 2025)

Hostess Brands, the iconic snack company, announced Monday that it will retire the name "King Dons" for its chocolate-covered cream-filled cakes, reverting to the original "Ding Dongs" branding amid public protests linking the “king” moniker to political undertones.

The rebranding decision follows mounting criticism tied to the recent "No Kings" protests, which have gained traction nationwide. Protesters, citing concerns over the glorification of authoritarianism and monarchy symbolism, targeted products and imagery perceived to support hierarchical titles. Their efforts gained further momentum as some associated the “King Dons” name with former President Donald Trump due to online speculation and memes.

A Storied History of Snack Renaming “King Dons” was a regional branding variation introduced in the 1970s, meant to avoid trademark conflicts. Over time, the cakes were widely marketed as “Ding Dongs,” a name that became synonymous with Hostess's playful and nostalgic snack offerings.
"The shift to 'King Dons' originally reflected a fun, royal persona for the product," said Hostess CEO Andy Callahan. "However, recent events have highlighted how perceptions change over time. To honor our fans and remove any unintentional political associations, we’re proud to return to the Ding Dongs name that so many Americans love."

Cultural Fallout and Social Media Buzz
Protests against the “king” branding were sparked last week when a viral tweet compared “King Dons” to titles associated with authoritarian rule. Signs reading “No Kings, No Crowns, Just Cakes” appeared at demonstrations outside supermarkets in major cities, including New York and Los Angeles.
Social media quickly amplified the controversy, with users debating whether the rebranding was a necessary response to public sentiment or an overreach into marketing nostalgia.

"#DingDongsForever trended for several hours on X (formerly Twitter), with some lauding the decision as a win for democracy, while others dismissed it as “cancel culture” run amok.

Looking Ahead
Hostess plans to begin rolling out Ding Dongs packaging to retailers nationwide later this month. The company has promised a limited-edition retro design inspired by its original 1960s branding as a tribute to fans of the snack's early days.
"We’re committed to making treats that bring joy and connection, without controversy," Callahan said. "This decision lets us focus on what really matters: making snacks that taste as good as they make people feel."

While the change may mark the end of “King Dons,” Hostess hopes to sweeten the public’s view with the return of a beloved name.

Protests Mark Father’s Day Across U.S., Some Target Trump’s Legacy
By Monique Marmelstein, INS
Chicago, IL
June 15, 2025

In cities across the United States, Father’s Day was marked not only by celebrations of fatherhood but also by protests decrying the holiday in light of Donald Trump’s role as a father and former president.

Demonstrators gathered in major metropolitan areas, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, holding signs and chanting slogans such as “Not My Father’s Day” and “Parenting Matters.” Organizers said the protests were meant to highlight what they view as the negative legacy of Trump’s leadership, including his policies and the example they believe he set for American families.

“Father’s Day is a moment to reflect on the values we want in our homes and communities,” said Sharla Williams, an organizer with the activist group Families United for Accountability. “Trump’s actions and rhetoric have caused division and pain for countless families. We can’t celebrate fatherhood without addressing the harm.”

The protests drew a mix of supporters and critics. Many demonstrators held signs referencing Trump’s parenting, pointing to controversial moments involving his adult children, including their roles in his political and business dealings. Others focused on broader political grievances, such as his handling of immigration policies that separated families at the border during his presidency.

Counter-protesters also made their presence known, arguing that the demonstrations were inappropriate on a day traditionally reserved for honoring fathers.

“Father’s Day is about love, not politics,” said John Harris, who attended a counter-rally in Dallas. “This is just another excuse to attack Trump, and it’s disrespectful to all fathers.”

The protests come amid heightened political tensions as Trump continues to loom large in American political discourse. Despite his divisive legacy, he remains the central figure in the Republican Party.

While the protests were largely peaceful, some cities reported minor scuffles between demonstrators and counter-protesters. Police in Philadelphia said they made two arrests after a confrontation escalated during a march.

As the day progressed, both sides appeared steadfast in their positions. Organizers of the protests pledged to continue raising their concerns, while Trump supporters defended the former president and the holiday.

“Father’s Day is a time to honor all dads,” said Amanda Reynolds, a mother of three in Atlanta who attended a family gathering instead of the protests. “It shouldn’t be about politics—it should be about family.”
