“The Sopranos” star Michael Imperioli suggested that the characters in the HBO crime drama would “probably” be supporters of Donald Trump if the show were made today.
“The show is about the American dream, especially through the eyes of immigrants,” the actor said during an interview with The Independent this month.
Whoopi Goldberg floated a bizarre theory during Monday’s broadcast of “The View” on ABC, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel had been sent to Italy to watch Team USA’s first Olympic hockey gold medal in 46 years because the rank and file wanted him out of the way.
For the first time since 1980, the U.S. men’s hockey team has defeated our chief communist adversary in front of the entire world at the Winter Olympics. If you watched the gold-medal game, and you’re an American, you were probably enjoying yourself the entire time. I certainly was. It was a close game. It went to overtime.

Jimmy’s Famous Seafood didn’t like the crabby article that HuffPost published over the weekend in the midst of Team USA’s winning streak.

I’m a Luddite in many ways, at least in theory. I hate social media, prefer to spend my free time in nature — usually with a gun, bow, or rod and reel in my hand — and long for the days when you could buy a truck with a manual transmission. In fact, I have often quipped that America went to heck in a handbasket when Ford stopped putting manuals in their F-150s (2008, for those keeping track). I’m not a big fan of governments regulating just about anything, but I applaud the fact that millions of Americans have gravitated toward the MAHA movement, which prioritizes whole foods over modern, processed garbage.
