Republican House Seeks to Rename Dulles Airport After Trump

House Republicans have introduced new legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former president Donald J. Trump. In a statement, Republicans declared, “As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.”

Wow, rename such an Important airport like Dulles International after Trump? What for? Is it going bankrupt? Well, I guess that one way to ensure every flight is gonna be late. Now, not to be critical, but I could perhaps understand naming a sewage treatment facility after Trump, but an airport - not so much. Hey, now that I think of it, the idea of a “Donald J. Trump Sewage Treatment Facility” - really does have a certain “stench” to it.

Anyway, one thing’s for sure, this move is gonna be really controversial. The truth is, I’m sure most Americans would be perfectly fine with allowing Trump’s face to be placed on, say - a three-dollar bill, or perhaps renaming San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge the “Trump Golden Shower Bridge,” or even having Trump’s name inscribed on every interstate highway’s rest stop restroom wall - but not airports.

Besides, and mark my words, if Republicans are successful in renaming this after their “Orange God,” expect him to demand royalties for use of his name. And the first order of business? Why, more direct flights to Moscow - of course. Now, some may ask, why do this? Well, I guess Republicans must figure you have to start out small by renaming an airport, before moving on to eventually renaming the entire country. Gee, “Trumpistan” does actually have a bit of a ring to it, doesn’t it?

That said, I still can’t help but thinking, “Could this possibly be some sort of late April Fools prank?” Then it occurs to me, wasn’t Dulles International one of the airports Trump once told a Fourth of July audience that was seized from the British by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War? I mean, talk about a unique perspective on our war for independence! One thing’s for sure, you’re never gonna learn anything like that in the history books. That is, unless Republicans grab control of our school boards.

Iowa Republicans Pass Bill to Repeal Child Labor Laws

The Republican-dominated Iowa Senate just passed a child labor bill that "allows 14-year-olds to work six-hour night shifts" and "allows 15-year-olds to work in plants on assembly lines moving items up to 50 pounds.” In addition, “16 and 17-year-olds will now be permitted to serve alcohol.” Good grief! Sounds like these fun-loving Republicans wanna make every day a “Bring your child to work day.” Well, I suppose they figured all those fetuses that aren’t getting aborted - gotta have something to do. “All aboard! Next stop, the 19th century.” Gee, I can hardly wait to see what’s next. Indentured servitude, debtors' prisons, poor houses? Hell, they may as well bring back the poor houses, given that its nearly impossible for regular folks to afford to buy a home or even rent an apartment these days. Anyway, now that Republicans have pushed this through, perhaps its time for patriarchal Christian fascists to begin working on other pet projects. You know,

Study Finds Habitual Nose Pickers Have Greater Chance of Contracting COVID

Researchers in the Netherlands found in a new, peer-reviewed study of hospital workers that people who pick their noses habitually have a three times greater likelihood of contracting COVID than those who don’t. Nearly 85% of those surveyed reported they picked their noses at least once in the previous month with varying frequencies. Gee, whiz! Now that’s some interesting news! Hell, now I'm all set for trivia night. That said, and if I’m understanding this correctly, this study conclusively proved that “most hospital workers pick their noses.” Who knew? Now, if you ask me, the REAL NEWS here has nothing to do with COVID. It’s that “a whole bunch of hospital workers actually admitted they pick their noses.” The funny thing is, there was a small group of those nose-pickers who were kind of bold about it all and proudly pointed out that, “The beauty of nose-picking is that each of us have two completely separate nasal cavities, so there’s never any waiting .” When asked which

Trump Leads Chorus of Conservative Cheers Over US Women’s Soccer Loss to Sweden

Former President Donald Trump led a chorus of conservatives who cheered this past Sunday after the U.S. women's soccer team got knocked out of the World Cup by Sweden. Posting on his “Truth Social,” Trump wrote, "The 'shocking and totally unexpected' loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” adding that "Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot, Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA.” The “Megan” reference was about US star player Megan Rapinoe with whom Trump has maintained a long-running grudge after she refused to accept an invitation to see him in the White House after leading her team to victory in the Women's World Cup four years ago. Wait a minute! The guy who has just racked up 78 felony charges against him - including trying to violently overthrow th
