Описание: Current Events Hall takes aim at the global events of 2018 with a unique and refreshing perspective. Topics in this volume include the following: - President Trump displaying brazen hypocrisies-"Complaining about Trump's hypocrisy is like complaining about a prostitute's promiscuity." - The Catholic Church covering up sins of pedophile priests-"These putative men of God cannot believe God exists. They must reason that, if he did, he would have stopped priests from systematically abusing children long ago. After all, what God would allow a criminal sex cult to flourish as a holy church in his name?" - Tiger Woods failing to win another major-"Tiger is becoming to PGA players what Hugh Hefner became to LA players: the most popular guy in the game who everyone knows can't do it anymore." - Caribbean leaders condemning "shithole" Trump-"Haitian migrants pose a heavy, unsustainable burden for the relatively small and poor countries of the Caribbean. This explains why, even though none have called Haiti a shithole, some Caribbean leaders have treated Haitians like shit." - Meryl Streep hailing Harvey Weinstein as "God"-"That she said this is as much an indication of how far Weinstein has fallen from grace as it is an indictment of how much even Streep was beholding to his power and influence." - Europeans doing more than Africans to solve Africa's migrant crisis-"Only a symbiosis of European colonial guilt and African umbilical dependence explains why." - Research showing the health benefits of bread-"No less an authority than the Bible decreed that bread and water are the staff of life. Which is why I hereby curse Atkins and his spawn of ketogenic false prophets in the name of God." - Trump continuing bromance with Putin despite bipartisan criticism-"Trump is behaving like a teenage girl who was reprimanded by her parents for sneaking out for a booty call with a notorious bad boy. And she responds by sneaking that bad boy into her bedroom . . . and ends up pregnant."

Описание: ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at the global events of 2020 with a unique and refreshing perspective. Some of the topics in this volume include: Governments ordering lockdowns to combat Covid-19 "Telling people to lockdown to combat Covid makes about as much sense as it would've been to tell people to stop having sex to fight HIV. ... Mandating wearing masks, like wearing seatbelts (or promoting the use of masks, like the use of condoms), would have been a lot cheaper and more effective." Trump failing to defend America against Russian cyber attacks "America is now a certifiably dysfunctional, dystopian, and defenseless mess. Superpower? Hell, even the Roman Empire was never this, er, messed up before the fall. Evidently that 'shining city on a hill' was just the flickering embers of a supernova." Kim declaring nuclear deal with Trump a bust "Kim Jong-un is feeling like a woman scorned. Never mind that he behaved throughout his affair with Donald Trump like a shrew-too uptight to screw." Harry and Meghan announcing split from royal family "Most Britons will feel about Meghan breaking up the royals the way they felt about Yoko breaking up the Beatles." 'The Last Dance' revealing how Bulls paid Jordan like a king, Pippen like a pauper "Michael is clearly the NBA's GOAT. Unfortunately, Pippen is arguably its greatest goat of all time." Chinese leaders quarantining millions to contain Covid-19 "Practice from quarantining millions of Uyghur Muslims for years in religious-cleansing camps means that they are doing so in this case with Nazi-like efficiency." Democrats trying to impeach Trump "Even if lead House manager Rep. Adam Schiff were Christ incarnate, he would still be unable to break the cult-like loyalty Republicans show their two-legged golden calf." Republicans bending over to be cuckolded by Trump "The more he humiliates white Republican men the more they like him. Hell, some like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas even like him when he humiliates their wives, which puts a fetishistic twist on cuckoldry that is just too perverse for words." White cops patrolling Black communities "It's a curious thing that Black men seem so willing to cede that role (of protecting their own) to white men, who seem all too eager to patrol Black communities like invading soldiers." Mary Trump's tell-all selling like hotcakes "Given the egregious way Donald exaggerates his wealth, the irony cannot be lost on Mary that this book could make her the richest Trump of them all. It might not be revenge, but it would be sweet."
Anthony L. Hall takes aim at the global events of 2014 with a unique and refreshing perspective. For example, on:
Media broadcasting terrorist propaganda as 'breaking news'
"We live in a Twitter age of such promiscuous, indiscriminate and surreal media practices that it seems perfectly normal for our own media to be helping the enemy perpetrate psychological warfare against us. What else explains the media shielding us from the epithets of racists, but bombarding us with the taunts of terrorists?"
Snowboarder Shaun White failing to medal at Sochi Olympics
"Frankly, I think it's fair to say that never before in Olympic history has an athlete so hyped to win gold failed to even win bronze."
Only authoritarian regimes can govern Arab countries
"Show me an Arab country governed by a democratically elected government and I'll show you one that is an ungovernable mess."
Feminist call for liberated women to ditch high heels
"It's a reflection of the addictive high women get on heels that, when they're barefoot (or wearing tennis shoes), they invariably perch themselves on the balls of their feet to simulate those missing high heels. Have you noticed this?"
Putinization of Russia
"Putin's propaganda has done such a terrific job of convincing Russians that Westerners are undermining their culture at home and threatening the safety of fellow Russians abroad, the credibility of his presidency now depends on backing up his neo-Stalinist words with avenging military action."
Police in U.S. killing unarmed Black men
"If I hear another political or civic leader calling for a 'conversation on race, ' I'm going to puke. Because nothing will do more to curb deadly encounters between the police and young Black men than requiring the former to attach cameras to their bulletproof vests and prevailing upon the latter to obey police orders."
