Nation of Jake ·

2025/01/15

Ho Ho Hoax at Rhodes

Nation of Jake ·

2024/12/19

Well, Jake called it. The racist and offensive papers discovered on Rhodes College’s campus earlier this month was fake. It was too good to be true for some, which is why it seemed fishy from the start. Or, as Jake put it, hints of Jussie Smollett's hoax.

2024 was filled with all sorts of lies from the media.

Too Much Sympathy For Luigi

Nation of Jake ·

2024/12/10

Since Luigi Mangione's arrest in Pennsylvania, the reactions have been very split on whether he was a stone cold killer or a hero that deserves praise.
