Anyway, here are Five Jokes!
Donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, The Carter Center, and/or Alliance for Middle East Peace.
Y’all hear about this?..
In just a few years, single women have become a largely united voting bloc, overwhelmingly supporting Democrats. Political analysts attribute this to the left’s “big tent energy.”
The Victoria's Secret fashion show is returning following a 6-year hiatus. The company has discovered that despite the many debates over its beauty standards — all are in agreement that there’s never been a better time for women to grow wings.
Walgreens plans to close 1,200 stores over the next three years — stating to employees, “In hindsight, we should have gone for shorter receipts.”
David Duke, the antisemitic white supremacist and former head of the Ku Klux Klan who endorsed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, has instead thrown his support behind Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. The decision comes after a close analysis of Donald trump’s face and realizing that he is technically “of color.”
Finally…
According to Morgan Stanley, there are 2 things that could go wrong for the US economy and spark a recession. 1) 5 billionaires hoarding too much money, and 2) Everyone else using too many pennies at once.
