Jane Goodall’s analysis of Donald Trump’s behavior as being chimp-like went viral online again following the primatologist’s death. She watched a supercut of Trump’s antics and said she saw “the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he is competing for dominance with another.”

The story about Trump ordering the removal of references to slavery from national Parks is being censored on here by the moderation service because it wrongly labeled the photo of an enslaved person with scars from being whipped on their back as "self harm."

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
