Washington, D.C. - Only three days after a judge blocked subpoenas served to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as part of a probe into potential crimes related to management of the central bank's renovation, the Department of Justice has announced that it is now seeking access to Santa's Naughty List. Santa Clause, shown here telling a child that he better be a good boy or else he won't get any presents this year, has denied visiting Epstein Island "This is the antithesis of American justice," United States attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro explained. "Exonerating anyone without any records, without an investigation, or question, is not how our criminal justice system works. That's why we are asking Santa for access to his private records, and I think we all know which list Powell is going to be on. The naughty one." The naughty list, and its counterpart the nice list, is a magically composed compendium of children around the world used to determine whether or not they deserve presents on Christmas morning. According to historical criminologist Hank Piles, use of the naughty list for the purpose of investigating crimes is controversial: We know that the list is meticulously kept. He checks it twice for Pete's sake! But does childhood behavior truly predict adult behavior? Is it enough to justify the forced involvement of a United States citizen in a criminal investigation? Also, why is Santa watching children sleep? Maybe we should look into that? "A mountain of evidence suggests that the government served these subpoenas on the board to pressure its chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning," Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., wrote in his filing last week. "On the other side of the scale, the government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime. I mean, maybe if they had some kind of proof that he was a bad kid, maybe that he lied to his parents about doing his homework or if he didn't do his chores like he was supposed to, something like that. But where would they even get that kind of information? From some kind of jolly pervert that watches kids sleep and take baths with some kind of elf magic?" At the end of the day, this is an example of how the system is designed to work. Nobody is above the law, not even high ranking government officials, but context matters and checks and balances against potential overreach are vital in a functioning democracy. And it is an opportunity to ask important questions and to hold powerful people accountable for their actions, says Piles. "What does it even mean to be naughty or nice? And what else is on those lists? Are there photos? Videos? It's just an extreme amount of power for one individual to have over a vulnerable population, and that often results in people being taken advantage of."

Pine Valley, IL - Pine Valley resident Margaret Turner, having discovered how truly unfulfilling her life would have been if she had never married her husband, died today as a result of an injury sustained when returning from a magical journey into the past. Turner, shown here with her husband a few minutes after realizing how much she still loved him, and right before her brain stem herniated through the hole in the bottom of her skull "This sometimes happens with traumatic brain injury-induced life lessons," Dr. Mort Fishman , a neurologist at Pine Valley Regional Hospital, explained. "The first hit to the noggin is typically well tolerated, with perhaps only some mild confusion and a headache upon awakening in the past or alternate reality. It's the second impact to the skull that's the problem, the one that sends them back after figuring everything out." What Dr. Fishman is referring to is known as second impact syndrome, a rare but potentially deadly outcome after an individual experiences a second head injury before fully recovering from an earlier one. According to Fishman, the ability to regulate pressure takes time to reset after a traumatic brain injury: A second hit can cause excessive dilation of dysregulated blood vessels, and that extra blood flow leads to swelling and rapid deterioration. The brain can literally squeeze through the hole in the bottle of the skull, which is fatal. It sounds like Mrs. Turner must have suffered a second hit to her head while she was searching for a second chance at true love. What? Too soon? Travelling through time, or to a fantasy version of reality where meaningful people in your life take on fantastical new roles while guiding you to understand what is truly important, is a powerful means of self-improvement or even self-actualization. Extreme personal growth, or the realization that what you were looking for all along was right in front of you the entire time, often requires being knocked unconscious by a blow to the head. In some cases, making a wish on a shooting star or dropping a coin into a magic fountain is necessary for the head injury to result in a voyage of discovery. Fishman reassures us that death, although possible, is rare and should probably not deter anyone who is drifting through a seemingly pointless life from seeking out a transformative concussion, even when it isn't entirely clear whether or not the experience is real or simply the result of widespread cerebral dysfunction. "This was tragic. But we can take solace in the fact that Mrs. Turner probably didn't suffer. At most, she had maybe two to five minutes where she knew she had made a mistake by asking for a divorce before the cerebral edema shut down her ability to breath. Death came on pretty quick after that."

In the past, when people disagreed with my judgement, I simply ripped the still beating heart from the chest of their leader and devoured it as their followers watched on in horror. Problem solved. I miss the simplicity of the past. These days, with social media and its ability to force people into increasingly limited silos of curated information, I can't just feast on a few entrails and expect word of mouth to do the rest. Now it's all emails, Zoom meetings, and media hits on Fox News or...sigh...Tucker Carlson's Twitter show. Yes, I said Twitter! Not X. X is a stupid name. If not for my near limitless power, the vast hoard of riches lying in the bowels of my secret fortress on Skull Island, and my Precious Moments collection, my life and its problems might seem as inconsequential as yours.

Shawnee, OK - Dental technology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, and one of the best examples of this in modern dentistry is the laser, which is being put into use by an increasing number of dentists looking to improve patient care, boost profits, and have around just in case things get a little out of hand. Dr. Krane, shown here smiling because he knows, if it comes down to protecting his life or livelihood, the laser will be charged and ready to go, unlike that lazy dog of his "The laser has completely transformed my practice," Dr. Harkanis Krane, a dentist at Family Dental Care & BBQ in Shawnee. "I can target tissues in the mouth with greater precision and less discomfort while avoiding the need for anesthesia. And if society were to collapse and they come for me or my family, I just flip this switch right here to "Kill"." Lasers are tools that use concentrated beams of light energy to create heat. This focused heat can cut, reshape, and even clean soft or hard tissues in the oral cavity. According to Krane, changing the wavelength of the laser allows for a lot of versatility in the clinic. "Unlike traditional drills or scalpels, lasers minimize bleeding, promote faster healing, reduce risk of infection, and can take down multiple intruders at a time if you wait until they are lined up just right." "Lasers provide important psychological benefits for patients as well," Torus Malone, a dental psychologist practicing near the Oklahoma University School of Dentistry in Oklahoma City, revealed. "Fear of the dentist is common and serves as a barrier to care for many people, so having a non-invasive option like a laser can make a really big difference by creating a more comfortable and confident experience for patients and providers, especially if all Hell breaks loose and all the sickos out there are no longer kept in line by cultural norms or functional law enforcement. That's when some people are going to have to get vaporized." As will all medical or dental interventions, there are pros and cons. Here are some of the main benefits of incorporating lasers into dental practice: Patients may experience less pain, less bleeding, and less swelling Lasers allow dentists to work with more precision Faster patient recovery time Home and office protection during natural disasters, anti-government protests, or The Purge In addition to humans, lasers are also effective at killing large game animals, such as lions The main drawbacks of using dental lasers include: Teeth will fillings cannot be treated with a dental laser Lasers cannot be used to treat all forms of cavities Lasers cannot be used to treat excessive tooth decay Some lasers only stun at maximum settings Lasers can be reflected back at the dentist with a mirror, causing them to be vaporized

Washington, D.C. - The Departments of Health and Human Services and Education recently announced plans for a televised public vaccine safety education initiative targeting children called Jabby's Playhouse. Rob Schneider, voice of Jabby in Jabby's Playhouse , here with RFK Jr. right before doing a few awkward push-ups and jumping in an algae-covered pond with their clothes on "The program will air during the Fox News morning block of children's programming this summer," HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon explained. "Our goal is to educate young children on the worrisome link between vaccines and a variety of adverse health outcomes, like autism and cooties, while at the same increasing public trust in vaccines, which is at its lowest point in decades for some reason." The development of the series was entrusted to Kidz Fun Shop, a producer of educational content for children for more than 20 years. According to Kidz Fun Shop president and CEO Gurny J. Knievel, the show will be informed by science. "We've done our research and come up with what feels like a fairly close approximation of the scientific consensus on this issue. But kids shouldn't expect a boring lecture on how vaccines will turn their brains into mush or how their pediatricians lied to mommy and daddy. That will of course be in the show, but there is also going to be a lot of fun, with jokes, songs, and the kind of intelligent writing that families have come to expect from Kidz Fun Shop." This will not be the first Kidz Fun Shop effort to tackle a controversial topic. The company also published the 2001 book Goodnight Thermite , which revealed the truth behind the September 11th attacks while encouraging healthy sleep hygiene for toddlers. This was followed by a 2006 documentary on the faked moon landing, Oh, the Places They Didn't Go! , which was narrated by Joe Rogan. Jabby's Playhouse will not shy away from presenting a realistic portrayal of vaccine-injured children, as understood by director Jenny McCarthy. The show's protagonist Jabby, a large hypodermic needle filled with mercury, antifreeze, and aborted fetuses, will depart on a quest to destroy the evil Baron von Bigpharma and his wisecracking minion ThimeroSally, a vial of mercury-based vaccine preservative. After the first episode was shown before screenings of Melania , Jabby's journey of discovery and atonement for condemning thousands of young children to a life of neurodevelopmental stagnation is already being held up by proponents of the autism-vaccine link as a powerful example of using selective exposure to curated information to promote a particular point of view. Using the power of facilitated communication and intravenous chelation, Jabby will attempt to liberate vaccine-injured children around the world who have been imprisoned in their own bodies. Knievel says the voice cast of Jabby's Playhouse is packed with stars. "We've got Charlie Sheen and Alicia Silverstone. And the show's opening theme song is performed by Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan. Oh, and Jabby? That's right. Rob Schneider!"

Tallahassee, FL - In response to tightening restrictions on access to abortion across the country, more Florida women are now turning to a state-funded technology that continuously monitors their uterus and alerts them at the onset of pregnancy, allowing for more time to consider their options and to make plans. A Florida woman, shown here just prior to receiving a pregnancy alert text from Steve in the Governor's Office  "Because of new laws that have emerged in the wake of the Dobbs decision, women are looking for something to help them feel like they have more autonomy over their bodies and control over their lives," medical researcher Mort Fishman, MD explained. "That's where our continuous monitoring system, and the state's pregnancy database, come into play. When a new pregnancy is confirmed by the device, the Governor's Office will be alerted immediately and ready to provide guidance and assistance." Once inserted into the uterus, the PermaScan Internal Pregnancy Monitoring and Alert System (PIPMAS) provides constant surveillance for the development of pregnancy using both biochemical assays and direct visualization. According to Fishman, who heads Florida's Department of Internal Surveillance (DIS), women appreciate the peace of mind that comes from giving around-the-clock, real-time information on the health and pregnancy status of their uterus to the Governor's Office. "It is empowering because they are free to focus on more important things, like keeping the home and educating their children. The women of Florida are one of our most precious commodities, which is why it will soon be legally required that all of them have the device installed prior to their 11th birthday." Florida Governor Ron DeSantis , shown here at a recent Binding Ceremony with a group of uterus containment units after signing several pair bonds into law Pregnancy can be a stressful and confusing time for many women, especially when they aren't married or at least in a state-selected heterosexual pre-marriage pair bond. Fishman, who nearly finished the first year of his physical medicine and rehabilitation residency in 1993, has focused his career on improving the lives of Florida women, even the uggos. "With so much misinformation out there, from Planned Parenthood and the liberal Hollywood elites, my goal is to take some of the pressure off of these women with PIPMAS, and the good ones are usually pretty happy to let the DeSantis administration be in the driver's seat."

It's not going to be a vacation jaunt. You will need to recreate an entire industrial base on Mars, with mining and refining a variety of different materials in a difficult environment. No trees. No oxygen or nitrogen. No oil. But if we can establish a Mars colony, we will almost certainly extend ourselves throughout the Solar System. In order to make the Mars thing work, and to become a multi-planet civilization, we will need to have babies in space. And I am prepared to provide several hundred gallons of my own semen for use in future colonization efforts.

Washington, D.C. - Republican lawmakers are raising concerns over the beloved American educational children's television series Sesame Street . A scene from the Lupercalia Festival celebration in an episode of Sesame Street where Elmo frees himself from ancestral bondage by undergoing an unbaptism ritual "This is a show for children that communicates to those children using "Muppets"," Lauren Boebert, the U.S. representative for Colorado's 3rd congressional district, explained. "Some of these "Muppets" have been alive for over fifty years. That's not natural. That's supernatural. That's the occult. That's Satan ." Not all conservative lawmakers are convinced that Big Bird, Oscar, or even Bert and Ernie are malign influences on the American populace brought into corporeality by Sesame Workshop, known for decades as the Children's Television Workshop and The Children's Church of the Dark Lord in its earliest incarnation. Some, like Republican vice presidential candidate Juris Doctor Vance, believe that there is one among them who does deserve extreme caution. "Count Von Count is behind the scenes pulling the strings. Well...counting them. Counting all of them until each and every one of us is prepared for Satan's earthly kingdom through modeling, repetition, and humor."

Washington, D.C. - President Donald Trump has announced Oklahoma junior senator Markwayne Mullin as his choice to replace Kristi Noem in the position of Homeland Security secretary. Markwayne Mullin, shown here dressed up as Walker, Texas Ranger at the annual Congressional Costume Party "Yes, I'm a Republican , yes I'm conservative, and yes, I sometimes can't find my hat and then realize it was on top of my head the entire time," Mullin explained. "Once I make the transition from the Senate to the Cabinet, my focus will be on developing a deep understanding of the position, beginning with asking my staff what DHS means." Mullin, known for his tough guy persona and fierce defense of Trump administration efforts to detain and deport undocumented immigrants, has little patience for political theater. According to the former mixed martial arts fighter and father of six, ICE agents have a difficult but very important job. "They are the real American heroes. They keep us safe but they're just regular folks that put on their pants one leg at a time just like me. It goes pants first, then shoes. Socks go on before shoes. I put my hat on first though. Speaking of, has anyone seen my hat?"

Lake Placid, NY - Legendary rapper and founding member of Public Enemy Flavor Flav was decapitated earlier today during a skeleton run at the Lake Placid Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. Flavor Flav, shown here with his head attached to his body while preparing for what would be his final ride, and serving as an example of how truly unpredictable life can be. "Nothing is more exciting in winter sports than the skeleton events," USA skeleton head coach Matt Antoine explained. "The athlete makes a running start to push their small sled and then, at the very last second, leaps onto the moving sled to speed down the chute at up to 81 miles per hour and with accelerations up to 5 g. But we are all really upset about what happened to Flavor Flav this morning." After appearing in the Olympics program in St. Moritz, Switzerland in both 1928 and 1948, skeleton became a permanent addition during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. According to Olympic historian Jonas Bojangles, the sport originated in 1882 when English soldiers constructed a toboggan track between the towns of Davos and Klosters. "That first track had curves and bends that added a bit more danger to the experience. I can't even imagine how thrilling it must have been for those young men. It's a real tragedy about Flavor Flav. And you say his head came completely off? That's...surprising." Skeleton participants lie headfirst on the racing sleds with their arms by their sides and their faces practically touching the ice. It can be risky. Athletes typically wear a full-face fiberglass helmet in order to reduce the risk of brain injury in the case of a crash, but even during a good run there can be significant impacts to the shoulders, arms, and legs against chute walls. "Athletes competing in events like the skeleton are at increased risk of traumatic brain injury, even if they don't suffer a concussion from a blow to the head," Mort Fishman, MD, a neurologist who specializes in brain injuries in elite athletes and minor celebrities, revealed. "It's called "sled head", and it's the result of years of sub-concussive brain injury caused by intense vibration and gravitational force. Was it the clock necklace? Did it catch on something and just rip his head right off?" Flav had joined the USA bobsled and skeleton teams as their official hype man and sponsor for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy after having previously supported the US women's water polo team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He will be remembered for his high-energy personality and an uncanny ability to boost athlete moral and entice sponsors around the world. He was 66 years old.

In light of today's events, we at FIFA must consider possibly revoking the inaugural Peace Prize awarded to President Trump in December. At the very least, we will think about putting a hold on plans to bestow upon the president a permanent designation as FIFA Prince of Peace. Oops! That was supposed to be a surprise for his birthday party. Don't tell him you guys!
