“Damn GURRRL.” Get rid of it. Back in 2019, the always gracious Carrie Underwood did an interview with The Guardian, but she didn’t hold back when it came to the current state of country radio, and more specifically, the lack of depth in the songwriting. “There’s a lot of songs that aren’t actually saying too

Now that the Biden administration is officially underway, the QAnon community is in crisis. Adherents to the conspiracy theory, which postulates the existence of a cabal of media and left-wing political figures engaged in a child trafficking ring, believed that Inauguration Day would serve as the Great Awakening, and that President Trump would swoop in
Last week, while Donald Trump holed up with his shrinking circle of advisors to plan nearly 150 pardons and commutations, including many for his friends and coconspirators, his Department of Justice concluded a string of 13 federal executions — breaking a 17-year hiatus of the federal death penalty. In just six months, in what Supreme

As I sit on a 16-hour chartered flight home from Abu Dhabi to Las Vegas, it’s still somewhat surreal to think what unfolded on Saturday night. Conor McGregor was knocked out by Dustin Poirier mere feet in front of me in the UFC 257 main event. It’s not that Poirier winning was some sort of
