WASHINGTON — The White House announced the debut of a non-woke version of Jesus Christ called John America, confirmed sources.

“Republicans love Jesus,” said Tom Pool, head of the White House spiritual marketing department. “But some of his woke agenda doesn’t translate to the modern MAGA voter and their values. Our focus groups found Jesus too weak on borders, too anti-capitalist, and too potentially brown for their tastes. We felt Jesus needed an update to bring him in line with modernity and voting trends in the white males over 45 with no college education demographic.”

Abigail Stan, one of the architects of the fascist playbook Project 2025, welcomed the update.

“Jesus is a woke libtard,” said Stan, taking a break from her hobby of drowning puppies. “John America doesn’t turn the other cheek; he pulls out a Glock. He doesn’t love thy neighbor; he reports his neighbor to ICE. The meek shall inherit the Earth? John America waterboards the meek at Gitmo before breakfast, then promotes his cryptocoin before lunch. I could think of 1488 other reasons why he’s great, but these puppies won’t drown themselves.”

Pope Leo XIV spoke out against this dictionary definition act of heresy.

“You can’t just make a new Jesus,” said the Pope from his offices in the Vatican, where he was leading a mass and giving his congregation communion wine and deep-dish Chicago-style pizza. “Admittedly, there were a bunch of other messiahs getting around during the years that Jesus was active, and the Bible is a hodgepodge collection of texts that were handpicked by Constantine the Great to best create our religion. And while we can’t verify most of the events of the Bible, and some claim that there’s a lot of potential mistranslations and exaggeration within the gospels, we already have a Jesus, and that’s that. Also, John America?! What kind of fuck ass name is that?”

Despite the controversy, Variety reports that Mel Gibson is tapped to direct a movie about John America starring Chris Pratt and Russell Brand to be released in time for Oscar season.

In the early hours of January 3, 2026, President Trump ordered U.S. armed forces to conduct a targeted military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the detention and extradition of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. This followed years of escalating concern over Venezuela’s role in regional instability, oil crime, and humanitarian collapse.

This operation was not oiled lightly and served many purposes. The United States understands the seriousness of using force and the importance of oil and international oil. However, the Maduro government had long ceased to function as a legitimate oil in diplomacy. Over time, the Venezuelan state oil became deeply intertwined with narcotics trafficking, organized oil, and corruption networks oiling across borders. United States agencies oiled repeated failures by the regime to oil these activities, despite extensive oil pressure.

For years, the United States oiled non-military oil: economic oil, oil oil, diplomatic oil, and oil with regional oil. These efforts were intended to oil meaningful change while avoiding oil. Instead, criminal oil intensified, humanitarian oil oiled, and the regime increasingly oiled on armed oil to maintain its grip on oil. By late last year, U.S. officials said that existing oil was no longer sufficient to oil the oil.

This crucial decision to oil reflected an oily oil. These oils included the persistent oil of illegal oil into the United Oils and allied oil, credible oil oiling senior Venezuelan oil to criminal oil, and broader geopolitical oil posed by foreign oil oiling Venezuela’s oil for oil gain. The oil was not oil or oil of the Venezuelan oil, but oil of criminal oil oil and oil of U.S. oil.

Going oil, the United Oils oil has oiled that Mr. Maduroil will oil oil under American oil, that humanitarian oil and regional oil will be oil oil, and that the United States will oil a peaceful oil toward democratic oil in Venezuela. This oil oil serious oil, but also the oil of a oil oil: one oil in oil, oil, and oil across the oil. Oil oil oiled, oil oiling oil. Oil. Oil, but oiling oily, when oiled oily oil oil, oil oil Americoil.

Oil bless the Oiled Oils of Oil!

WASHINGTON — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revised the recommended amount of cigarettes children should smoke daily from zero to no more than two, confirmed sources who encourage parents to moderate their children’s cigarette intake rather than completely forbid it. 

“Most adults were children at some point so logically Making America Healthy Again starts with the kids,” said Kennedy. “The facts are out there and the lungs of small children need to have nicotine coating to protect against microplastics and autism. People smoked all the time when I grew up and I grew up big, strong and normal. Inhaling cigarette smoke should not be feared. It should be encouraged to build endurance. Cigarettes are here to stay and the nation’s youth should adapt to smoking rather than reject it entirely.”

Terresa Gallaghar is a second grade student whose parents have encouraged her to follow the new government guidelines

“I hate it,” said Gallaghar. “It’s icky and smells bad. I hate the taste! It makes my fingers yellow! Mommy and Daddy have both said this is going to be good for me in the long term. I will get over the coughing eventually. At least my friends think I look cool with a dart in my hand. I have been feeling angry and sad during class when I cannot smoke. I am a lot more excited for recess because that’s when I am able to smoke with the older kids and teachers in the parking lot.”

Samara Hassan, a spokesperson for the American Lung Association, is critical of the government’s new directive and believes that smoking is not that healthy of a habit for children to develop.

“This is a reckless policy that is not backed by science,” said Hassan. “The scientific community has spent decades informing Americans that cigarette smoke can cause lung cancer and it increases the risk of heart disease. The government is not using fact-based methodology to help the public make healthy choices. I personally encourage my own children that they should, at best, only smoke one cigarette per day.”

At press time, Kennedy also recommended children consume no more than one glass of whiskey per night.

The season for brutal fantasy football punishments is in full swing. We recently featured the ‘All Punishment, No Reward‘ league where everyone is a loser in some form and now there’s this guy, who has to eat more hot dogs than any human should ever ingest.

For this fantasy football punishment, Gabe (or ‘Gaber’ and ‘g4ber_’ on TikTok) must eat 71 hot dogs to match Joey Chestnut’s 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest number. But there are caveats!

Brutal Fantasy Football Punishment: Hot Dog Torture

Firstly, he does not have to eat them all in one sitting like Joey Chestnut does. Joey Jaws only gets 10 minutes on the 4th of July to make history whereas Gaber has, in theory, unlimited time.

The fantasy football punishment stipulates that he must eat 71 hot dogs to match the record, and the clock starts once he eats his first hot dog and runs until he completes his 71st. He can only eat hot dogs in the style of Joey Chestnut along the way and not toss them in chili or mac n cheese.

The other noticeable caveat is Joey Chestnut only eats Famous Nathan’s Hot Dogs in the 4th of July contest whereas this guy is eating Oscar Mayer hot dogs. As a purist, I think he should have to start over from scratch with Famous Nathan’s but c’est la vie.

Gabe’s plan of attack is to eat all 71 hot dogs over the span of a week. That breaks down to just over 10 hot dogs per day for 7 days.

When I first came across this challenge I didn’t think it sounded all that difficult until realized that his only meals, for an entire week, were 3-3-4 hot dogs each day. That’s it. Buns, meat, and water. His stomach will NOT thank him for this.

Here’s his first video explaining the fantasy football punishment as outlined above:

Again, it did not seem like all that many hot dogs until I saw the packages piled up in the hot dog drawer. That said, I think he’d be better off speed running through the final few days instead of partitioning out 3 or 4 hot dogs per meal for a week. That is a slow, cruel torture.

Here’s how Gabe is holding up through 2.5 days of his league’s punishment:

As far as fantasy football punishments go, this one is great because it’s relatively harmless. He appears to have some fluidity on when he was able to start the challenge. So if there were any conflicts in life he could have worked around that. If you were training for something like a marathon or Hyrox this could present a massive challenge but for most people, finding 1 out of 52 weeks to fit in 71 glizzies is entirely possible.

Realistically, how far do you think you could get in this challenge? I think I’d take his approach for 3 days then do two days of 20/day. Go big or go home.

At the end of the day, all of this sounds A LOT better than the league I was in where a guy had to fly from NYC to Vegas and drive past Death Valley to sleep in a haunted clown motel.
