FCC to Network: “Nice Broadcast You’ve Got There. Shame if Something Happened to It.”

In a shocking display of commitment to free speech, the Federal Communications Commission announced yesterday that it may revoke the broadcasting license of a major television network after a comedian made a joke that bruised the feelings of several Very Important People in Washington.

The FCC Commissioner, standing in front of an American flag the size of Rhode Island, declared:

“We are a government that treasures free speech. That’s why, if anyone says something we don’t like, we will crush them with the full weight of our regulatory power. It’s called responsible freedom.”

The network in question had aired a late-night monologue in which the comedian suggested that politicians might be more interested in campaign donors than in ordinary citizens. This shocking claim — which was obviously meant as a joke — was immediately classified as “a national security risk.”

Free speech advocates pointed out the irony, noting that the same administration has repeatedly claimed to be “the most pro–First Amendment administration in history.” When asked about this apparent contradiction, the Commissioner responded with a straight face:

“We are absolutely pro free speech. People are free to say anything they want, as long as it’s something we want to hear. Isn’t that what the Founding Fathers intended?”

Legal scholars are already bracing for the new precedent. Constitutional expert Dr. Ima Mock explained:

“Apparently, the First Amendment now comes with an asterisk — some restrictions apply, void where humor is directed at powerful people.”

Meanwhile, the network is reportedly considering self-censorship to avoid losing its license. The new programming schedule includes 24-hour coverage of sunsets, inspirational kitten videos, and an entire series called Compliments for Politicians: The Show.

As one anonymous FCC staffer whispered on the condition of anonymity:

“We’d silence the comedian directly, but that would look bad. So instead, we’ll just threaten to destroy an entire network for letting him talk. Totally different. Totally free speech.”

Climate Change—Now Causing Bullets to Fly

Twitter (or X , if you’re into midlife crises for social media platforms) has finally cracked the case of America’s mass shooting epidemic. Forget guns, forget mental health, forget decades of policy gridlock. The true culprit? Thermometers. According to one very serious thread with 28,000 likes and three graphs made in Microsoft Paint, the number of mass shootings rises with the temperature. “As the Earth gets hotter,” the poster explained, “so does the barrel of an AR-15. And when that barrel heats up, freedom just starts firing itself.” The theory is elegant in its simplicity: Cold weather = mittens. Hard to reload in mittens. Hot weather = sweaty rage. Nothing says “Second Amendment rights” like a 102-degree heat index. Global warming = global shooting. It’s science. Commenters were quick to add supporting evidence: “I wore a hoodie in December and didn’t feel like shooting anyone. Coincidence? I think not.” “Ever notice school shootings dip during winter break?

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES DECREE: "IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD, IT'S DEMOCRATICALLY MANIPULATED BULLSHIT"

Washington, D.C. — In a bold display of leadership reminiscent of only the finest banana republics, President Donald J. Trump today issued a sweeping presidential decree officially outlawing all statistics, reports, charts, tweets, TikToks, frowns, and bad vibes that fail to glorify his presidency. The decree, titled “The Truth and Nothing But the Trump” , follows the abrupt firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Director after last Friday’s jobs report showed a slight uptick in unemployment—a number that "smelled like Soros," according to Trump. “Folks, I looked at that report, and it just screamed ‘deep state’” Trump told reporters from the golf cart he now uses as his official motorcade. “That kind of anti-Trump math has no place in America. We’re deporting it.” When asked if he meant deporting people or just numbers , White House Press Secretary Tucker Carlson (now holding dual roles as Press Secretary and National Archivist) clarified: “Any operative—statisti...

MAGA Ostriches: Trump’s Flock Perfect the Art of Sand-Diving

  In the latest zoological discovery, scientists have confirmed that MAGA supporters and their leader Donald J. Trump share a striking similarity with ostriches: whenever confronted with uncomfortable facts, they immediately bury their heads in the sand. The key difference, experts note, is that ostriches eventually come up for air, while MAGA voters are still waiting for Hillary’s emails to be released by WikiLeaks. At a rally in Florida, Trump proudly declared, “Ostriches are very smart, very strong birds. People don’t know this, but they’re saying ‘Sir, you’re just like an ostrich, you see fake news and you bury, bury, bury.’ And I do it better than anyone. Tremendous bird, really classy.” The Ostrich Strategy When confronted with reports that contradict their worldview—such as unemployment numbers, climate science, or Trump’s golf scores—MAGA ostriches engage in a synchronized head-burying maneuver. Within seconds, they retreat underground, emerging only when Newsmax or OAN con...
