THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: July 22-28 Edition

As the summer days get shorter, Trump Indictments are becoming fruitful and multiplying.  Just as nature intended. Speaking of nature, air conditioners have been working overtime along with some brutal storm systems. Fox News host Jesse Watters continued to expose the Idiocracy by claiming slavery taught the enslaved useful skills that helped them later in life. The internet had plenty to say about that, but I’d have to use the bleep button to post any of it. Sadly, we lost the gifted and fearless Sinead O’Connor.   Time to check out the chatter.

THE FUNNY PAGES: The Week In Memes:

The most embarrassing week in news history began with Marjorie Taylor Green displaying photos of a very naked Hunter Biden on the floor of Congress. Of course, to hear the internet talk, that was nothing compared to  Miranda Lambert embarrassing concert goers by chastising then for taking selfies during her performance. Meanwhile, RFK, Jr.  embarrassed himself by whining to Congress that social media is run by big old meanies!  Then, Jason Aldean embarrassed country music by recording a song called “Don’t Try That In a Sundown Small Town," then proceeded to film the video on a plantation notorious for lynchings. On a sad note, we lost one of the most dignified men in music - a man who understood the value of being classy (unlike the aforementioned) - Mr. Tony Bennett. Let's find out what the internet had to say.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 1-7 Edition



This week was quieter than usual because Americans figured out how to obtain a four-day weekend out of a Tuesday holiday! The economy is thriving despite the existence of Hunter Biden. Madonna was hospitalized for a bacterial infection. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter celebrated 77 years of wedded bliss, which would make Miss Lillian proud. Plus, a brand new social media site popped up to take on Twitter.  Speaking of social media, what was happening on there this week?

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 24-30 Edition

 The last week of June started with a bang as the Wagner Group spent one whole day instigating a coup before they calmly said, “Never mind!” It ended with a whimper as smoke from the Canadian forest  fires continued to blanket the Midwest before heading south. Where’s Smoky the Bear when we need him? Madonna was hospitalized, Alan Arkin passed away, and the Supreme Court’s poll ratings are on life support. How did the internet take to all the latest news?

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 17-23 Edition

It’s been quite the week! Of course, the top news story was the disappearance of the Oceangate submarine. Though the world waited with a mixture of hope and trepidation, sadly,  the five individuals on board did not make it.  Barbecuing took center stage as most of us celebrated Father’s Day and Juneteenth, while the Hunter-Biden obsessed MAGA fired up their grills to commemorate his guilty plea to tax evasion and illegal possession of a firearm! Somewhere amidst it all, the days started getting shorter. Let’s check out the hubbub on the internet.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 10-16 Edition

Like most weeks, this one had its ups and downs. The biggest downer was the collapse of a portion of I-95 in Philadelphia. Where’s Infrastructure Week when we need it? A high point was when  four lost children in the Amazon jungle were found alive and well. The Unibomber died, baseball season is in full swing, and tornadoes are back in season. As usual, the internet has its say. Let’s check it out.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 3-9 Edition


This week, like so many others, began with not much going on. Sure, Biden and McCarthy came to an agreement to raise the debt ceiling. Naturally, some politician or other said something stupid. Yes, the schools are closed and the pools are open. But, who could have predicted the rest of the crazy happenings?How did the internet memers respond to the madness?  Let’s find out.
