NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., urged Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to check his own backyard after he blamed President Donald Trump for fostering a climate in which political violence is tolerated.”Governor Pritzker needs to look at the man in the mirror, and that’s where it needs to start,” Scalise told “Hannity” on Tuesday. “Stop the inciteful rhetoric that he and others like him are using deliberately.

There may never be a less self-aware conversation than the one recently had between comedians Conan O’Brien and Zach Galifianakis.It’s no secret that many comedy shows and the entertainment industry at large have one specific demographic they prefer to make fun of: the political right. The sheer number of supposedly “funny” shows based on that preference, from “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” to “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” to “The Daily Show,” or “Saturday Night Live!” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” is staggering.That’s just a small sample of how many left-wing comics have made politics the center of their shows.

Plus, condoms have other uses, such as water bladders, building slingshots, and several other things. Really, though, save them for their intended purpose. Cooking Oil Another item that admittedly doesn’t last for years and years, cooking oil will provide fats and calories in a survivor’s diet, both of which are essential despite what you’ll hear from various fad diet experts.
