We all hoped 2022 would be better than 2021, right? Unfortunately, everything in 2022 is stupid. From the economy to crime and immigration, terrorism, and (stupidest of all) COVID-19.

An even more in-depth anal...

While "Florida Man's" exploits are bizarre and often hilarious, New York Man tends toward senseless violence. Today we are playing "Crime and the Ten Commandments," looking at some recent crime stories to see how Commandments apply, and...
