The Weekly Readlines August 17

From the Editor’s Desk:

Good news, folks! Every rainbow is now considered gay. In an unsurprisingly petty move, the Trump regime has fired the family that has made the Kennedy Center Honors medals for the past 47 years. They made them for free in their home, providing them under both Republican and Democratic presidents. The new medals will be from Tiffany’s, and almost certainly not for free. Adding in Trump’s cut, who knows how much they’ll cost the taxpayers? The traditional rainbow sashes worn by the honorees are also being replaced by … prepare for the shock … gold sashes. All rainbows are now considered woke (and gay by association). The silver lining? Every time you see a rainbow in the clouds it means God loves woke, and may be the Ultimate Woke. She works in mysterious ways. – Mark
