You might be forgiven for thinking that the Republican Party had a majority in the House of Representatives. After all, it secured slightly more seats than the Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections. But believing that the GOP had a majority in the House would be a mistake. Since the 118th Congress convened in January […]

There were many bones. We had no idea how they had got thereIn 1966, when I was 10 years old, my mother and I moved to Gamboa, a neighbourhood by the waterfront in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro. When I got married in 1977, we stayed in the area, had three kids and set up a pest control company.In 1990, we bought our first house there.

Or maybe they just didn’t want to be subjected to more of House Speaker Mike Johson’s sermons. Johnson was able to get less than half of his...
Check out the video above, in which dolls are smashed with hammers, and one of us is Injured For Real! A while back, THQ Nordic made the questionable decision of inviting myself, Jim, and Connor to a real life haunted house experience inspired by the upcoming Alone in the Dark reboot. This haunted house - a particularly fancy, albeit rundown mansion on the Thames - was definitely an experience that we won't be forgetting anytime soon, mainly because we ended up accidentally breaking a few...
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, I predicted that a Republican majority in Congress would result in two years of “mind-numbing, gut-churning inanity, the kind that becomes a weariness seeping into your bones.” That prediction has been largely vindicated, and yet somehow reality has proved even worse for the House GOP.
