Stripping away all the superficiality, the glitz, the commercialism:

Oh, and also one of these:

SEATTLE ON TRIAL: Fire dept medics ‘abandoned’ 16-year-old CHOP shooting victim Antonio Mays Jr to die: expert witness
The Post Millennial | December 17, 2025 | Katie Daviscourt

… The fatal shooting occurred around 3 am on June 29, 2020, when protesters operating as “CHAZ/CHOP security” unleashed a barrage of gunfire on Mays and his 14-year-old friend, Robert West, while they were driving a vehicle through the zone. The Antifa-BLM autonomous zone was established following the death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody. Anti-police activists occupied a six-block radius in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, leading city officials to abandon the SPD east precinct and implement policies restricting police and emergency responder entry without special approval.

Mays, a black teenager from California, endured more than 25 minutes of “agonizing pain” before succumbing to his injuries, said Attorney Evan Oshan, representing the Mays family. 

So the city and the first responders are to blame — not the gunmen, rioters, and liberals who supported this insanity?

Translation: “Anyone should be ashamed for being pensive about Mali.”

Honestly, don’t we have better things to spend our time — and taxpayer dollars — on?

Let the residents MMGA! Otherwise, the majority of the continent deserves a collective “Bah!”

“Togo” sounds more like a prediction than a nation name.

The whole continent looks like it’s in sore need of redistricting (Lagos could be the building blocks), if the courts would just get out of the way.

Apparently “Great Britain News” has some work to do…

Armed Sydney police ram into car and arrest five men en route to Bondi Beach just days after terror attack
Great Britain News | December 18, 2025 | Ben Chapman

…Images from the scene showed the men lying on the red and footpath with their hands zip-tied behind their backs.

Probably meant “road.” Or maybe it’s just their accent.

Photos and videos of the detentions spread rapidly online, but police are yet to realise the identities of those arrested or confirm the exact number of people taken into custody.

Perhaps meant “release,” but who actually knows? May be correct as is.

The incident occurred just days after the Bondi Beach terror attack which claimed the lives of 15 people.

Naveed Akram, 24, has been charged with 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act after waking from a coma.

Well, he probably couldn’t have done it before waking from a coma, could he?

Photographer Finds Thousands of Dinosaur Footprints Near Italian Winter Olympic Venue
breitbart.com | 12/16/2025

MILAN (AP) — A wildlife photographer stumbled upon one of the oldest and largest known collections of dinosaur footprints, dating back about 210 million years to the Triassic Period, high in an Italian national park near the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic venue of Bormio, officials announced Tuesday.

The discovery in the Stelvio National Park was striking for the sheer number of footprints, estimated at as many as 20,000 over some five kilometers (three miles), and the location near the Swiss border, once a prehistoric coastal area, that has never previously yielded dinosaur tracks, experts said. . . .

The dinosaur prints are believed to have been made by long-necked bipedal herbivores that were up to 10 meters (33 feet) long, weighing up to four tons, similar to a Plateosaurus, Dal Sasso said. Some of the tracks were 40 centimeters wide, with visible claws.

The footprints indicated that the dinosaurs traveled in packs and they sometimes stopped in circular formations, possibly as a protective measure.

I’ve had a few long-necks in my time, but never saw any 33-foot-long, four-ton vegetarians with visible claws. Much less in a circle.

You sure the scientists weren’t accidentally watching The View?
