MAGA snowflakes got their bloomers in a bunch after actress Nia Renée Hill flipped a double-bird at Donald Trump at UFC 295 earlier this month.

This is the crowd that chants “F--k Joe Biden.”

It’s just a coincidence that a relative handful of videos on the Chinese-owned social-media platform TikTok promoting Osama bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America” got tens of million views last week.

The 2023 NASCAR season has come and gone. Just seems like yesterday that we were talking about the February race in LA as the drivers were getting themselves ready for Daytona.

Rod Mullins, our NASCAR reporter, joins us for our 2023 season in review podcast.
