Conor McGregor hasn’t competed professionally since July 2021 after suffering a leg break against Dustin Poirier. Very soon, though, the 35-year-old will return to the octagon. Or so we’re told.

In some states, breaking the law is still illegal

Political party crashers

Political parties in the United States were once real organizations. They were the vehicle that funneled people into political engagement and served as the forum to iron out policy disagreements and set governing priorities.

The Biden administration built a floating pier off Gaza at the cost of $320 million. Hamas mortared it on April 25, before it opened, just to let the Americans know who’s boss.

Monty Python’s fourth season: The terrible end of the greatest sketch show of all time

When Monty Python is remembered these days, it’s generally for its two seminal films, Holy Grail and Life of Brian, or Spamalot, the musical inspired by the former.
