[Meghan Markle] is just a divorced American C-list actress now gleefully playing the role of her life, doubtless cheered on by many other woke young women in the U.S. who wish they’d snared themselves a handsome-prince lottery ticket too, and who will fully buy into her “It’s all been such a racist struggle” claptrap.

- Pierce Morgan, New York Post, excoriating Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for their expose on the Royal Family

January 6 happened, and next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here. And I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.

A new checkout trend is sweeping across America, making for an increasingly awkward experience: digital tip jars.

Then, an employee standing behind the counter spins around a touch screen and slides it in front of you. The screen has a few suggested tip amounts – usually 10%, 15% or 20%. There’s also often an option to leave a custom tip or no tip at all.

The worker is directly across from you. Other customers are standing behind, waiting impatiently and looking over your shoulder to see how much you tip. And you must make a decision in seconds. Oh lord, the stress.

While the NYT continues to delegitimize the one true democracy in the Middle East and America’s best ally in the region, I will continue to ignore its ill-founded advice and instead focus on building a stronger and more prosperous country, strengthening ties with America, expanding peace with our neighbors, and securing the future of the one and only Jewish state.

Just applied to an apartment in DC where I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I’d be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee. This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money.
