Chapter: “Breaking News! Facts Optional: Integrity Sold Separately”
Chapter: “Breaking News! Facts Optional: Integrity Sold Separately”
Welcome to the golden age of “news”—where facts are optional, opinions are mandatory, and integrity is the price of admission. If you’ve ever watched a news broadcast and wondered if you accidentally tuned into a reality show, you’re not alone.
Let’s get real: when news outlets only report what political parties or corporate sponsors allow, that’s not journalism—it’s stenography with better lighting. Silencing real voices, cherry-picking talking points, and calling it “coverage” isn’t free speech, and it sure as hell isn’t free. The cost? It’s called integrity, and it’s in shorter supply than a fact-checker at a campaign rally.
Colonel Mustard would say, “If the only clues you’re allowed to share come from the butler, maybe it’s time to check who’s really running the mansion.” Journalism is supposed to hold power accountable, not hand out press releases like party favors. When the truth gets filtered, edited, or outright ignored, we all pay the price—one misleading headline at a time.
So next time you see “Breaking News,” remember: if the facts are missing, the only thing breaking is our trust.
Actual News:
“Dear Mariska (a.k.a. The Queen of SVU and All Things Protective)”
Hey Mariska,
So, quick question: Do you know if they make toddler-sized badges for kindergarteners? Because apparently, all you need to be a “big shot” these days is a shiny star and a questionable sense of justice (and maybe a juice box).
Here’s the tea: My stalker—who thinks he’s a cross between a detective and a playground bully—has decided it’s a smart idea to threaten your kid. I know, right? Someone get this guy a helmet, because he’s clearly not playing with a full set of crayons.
Now, I’d tell you this face-to-face, but apparently, the government’s got my words on mute, both online and in real life. (They must’ve borrowed the remote from my ex.) If you’re reading this, congrats! You’ve cracked the code, and possibly a few government firewalls.
So, if anyone can pass this message along to Mariska—Twitter name Jacqueline Reyas (because who doesn’t love a good undercover alias?)—let her know:
Mama Bear Mode: ACTIVATED.
And as for the badge-wielding stalker? He might want to remember that in the world of SVU, the only thing scarier than a perp with a badge is a mom with receipts.
P.S. If this gets any more kindergarten, I’m recruiting a squad of five-year-olds armed with glitter and righteous indignation. Justice will be served—nap time or not.

You ever notice how every church claims they’ve got the “real truth,” but half the time, they’re just remixing the same commandments like it’s a Spotify playlist for the Pope’s afterparty? One church bans dancing—unless you slip the pastor a little extra in the collection plate. Meanwhile, the Bible says all sins are equal, so if you forgot to call your mother, congratulations—you’re in the same club as murderers. Who knows, maybe one of those churches is just full of a bunch of kids who forgot to call their moms. Hope you like snoring, because your new roommate is Adolf, and he hogs the covers.
You ever stop and think that when Carrie Underwood asked Jesus to take the wheel, maybe—just maybe—that’s all the Bible was ever supposed to be about? Reminding people they’re not the ones in control of the destination, and everybody’s journey is different. Maybe it’s not about having a perfect road map, but about realizing your map isn’t the only one in existence. Not everyone can afford a GPS—some people get lost along the way, but that doesn’t mean they’re not headed to the same goddamn location.
The Bible was written in a language nobody could translate perfectly. So just like you can’t translate someone’s life and claim you understand it completely unless you’ve actually goddamn lived it, maybe the Bible is more metaphor than manual. It literally says no one sin is greater than another—whether it’s forgetting to call your mother, honoring your father, or, you know, murder. All equal in the eyes of the Lord. So don’t judge each other. And then the rest of the Bible? It’s basically a bunch of people talking about judgment while still doing the same crap in secret.
But hey, governments love their secret sins too. Strength in numbers, right? If we talk about judgment enough, and keep doing it ourselves, maybe nobody will notice. Oops, did I say that out loud? So if you think there’s no government influence, think again.
Maybe instead of paying attention to every single word in the Bible, just realize it’s shining a light on the real problem: it’s not the people committing these acts that are the issue—it’s the acts themselves, and who’s doing the condemning. Maybe the whole point was to remind us that the only real judge is the one who actually lived every story, saw every struggle, and knows every detour. And spoiler alert: that’s not you, me, or the guy with the biggest pulpit.
And here’s a little food for thought—did you ever notice even the word “devil” spells “lived” if you flip it around? But let’s get real: if you go through life dick-first, treating people like crap, all you’re doing is putting a veil over their eyes so they can’t see any love—even if it’s right in front of them. So when you start from a place with no love, your options aren’t “good” or “bad”—they’re whammy and double whammy. That’s not a choice, that’s a rigged game show. It’s like they hand you two doors and say, “Pick one!” but behind both is just a very messed-up mole getting whacked, Monty Hall style. Multiple meanings—take it how you will. And if you think that’s free will, you’ve been watching too much Bird Box, blinding yourself with your own veil. Remove it, and maybe you’d realize: when you start with no love and your only options are whammy or double whammy, you don’t get the prize door, you get whacked at either one. Now that ain’t free will.
Churches love calling out everyone else’s flaws while ignoring their own. Choir lady’s gossiping? That’s “fellowship.” Show up with a tattoo? Suddenly you’re the Antichrist with a nose ring. They preach “love thy neighbor,” but split the congregation over the color of the new carpet. If Jesus came back today looking like he just clocked out of a skate park, they’d call security before they called him “Lord.”
Now, let’s talk about the world’s most notorious cartels and gangs. You guys talk about “unity” and “protecting the kids,” but half the time you’re fighting over who gets the last slice of pizza at the meeting. You say you rescued people from the bad guys, but then you turn around and charge them rent. That’s not liberation, that’s just running a really aggressive Airbnb.
And police, oh, you shiny-badged wizards of traffic stops. Your badge isn’t a magic wand—it’s a coupon for free donuts and a lifetime supply of attitude. Without that badge, you’re just a guy who peaked at the high school pep rally. You say you “protect and serve,” but half the time, you’re just protecting your own egos and serving up more paperwork than a DMV on Monday morning. You want respect? Try not writing tickets to lemonade stands and maybe don’t treat every jaywalker like they’re auditioning for Cops: The Musical.
Now, the military—let’s break it down:
Army: First in, last to realize the GPS was upside down. You can find a needle in a haystack but can’t find your own exit. Maybe try asking Siri next time.
Navy: Spends seven months at sea, comes home, and gets lost in the mall parking lot. “Where’s the mess hall?!” Bro, it’s right behind you.
Marines: If it moves, salute it. If it doesn’t, paint it. If it’s pretty, marry it. If it’s ugly, challenge it to push-ups. Basically, the only branch where dating advice sounds like boot camp orders.
Air Force: Deploys to five-star hotels and calls it “combat.” The only thing they’ve bombed is the hotel breakfast buffet. Omelet, anyone?
Coast Guard: Gets seasick in a bathtub and cries when the waves are “too spicy.” You’re the only branch that needs Dramamine for a kiddie pool.
Space Force: Still waiting for their first alien DUI checkpoint. Right now, they’re the Air Force’s weird cousin who wears tinfoil hats at Thanksgiving and treats Area 51 like a family reunion.
And don’t forget the alphabet soup agencies: FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE… the only people who can make the DMV look like a model of efficiency. If you all teamed up, maybe you’d finally solve the mystery of who keeps stealing everyone’s lunch from the break room. (Spoiler: It’s still the Coast Guard.)
Clarence Thomas, you’ve been on the Supreme Court so long you’re not just a judge—you’re practically a fossilized legal opinion. You’ve been sitting up there so long you’re starting to look like the courthouse statue—except the statue actually says something once in a while. If “going white” was a job, you’d be Employee of the Century. People worry about the N-word, but the real issue is the “Nope” word, and Clarence, you’ve turned “not listening” into a full-blown lifestyle brand. You’re like the original KFC recipe—classic, but nobody’s asking for seconds, and the flavor’s gone a little stale.
Speaking of secret recipes, Colonel Mews, let’s talk Kentucky Fried hustle. You can keep your 11 herbs and spices, but everyone knows the real secret is just a lot of salt and a dash of “I’m not telling.” Clarence, while you’re out at Bohemian Grove with your billionaire buddies, just remember—some of us don’t need secret clubs to know right from wrong. Sometimes all it takes is common sense and the guts to call out the nonsense. And hey, thanks for tossing out that bogus court charge for me. I know I rattled you, but that’s not intimidation—that’s just knowing my Miranda rights and using them like seasoning.
Now, Elon—oh, Elon. Everyone says you’re a genius—rockets, cars, social media—but when it comes to privacy rights, you think you have the right to everyone’s privates. Maybe that’s why you bought Twitter—you thought “X” marked the spot! You can silence people’s right to speak, but when it comes to getting things to actually work, well—let’s just say your rockets aren’t the only things that have trouble launching!
And let’s be honest: when your ex-wife’s an actress, has zero social media, and is a complete ghost online, it’s probably because you’re making sure she can’t be heard—not just seen.
It’s ironic Elon Musk and Trump are such buddies—Trump acts like he’s got a little boy crush on Elon just because he plays with rockets. But the only thing actually benefiting from their friendship is good TV—two egos, one reality show, and a lot of airtime.
Trump’s not Orphan Annie, but with those Daddy Issues, he’s got more in common with Daddy Warbucks than he thinks. Maybe if Warbucks and Trump stopped stroking their egos, checked their brain cells, and quit whispering to their billionaire buddies, they’d finally see the CIA’s got their ear—and maybe, just maybe, get over their crap and check the video feed before another pie hits their face.
Elon and Trump: proof you can reach for the stars, miss the point, and still end up on primetime!
Now, back to our regularly scheduled roast: Elon, you want to “hump and dump at the Y”? Adorable. For a guy obsessed with rockets, you sure seem stuck in the sandbox. Maybe spend less time digging tunnels and more time learning how not to get caught playing with your own Tonka trucks. Our little torture game? It’s starting to feel like an episode of Snapped—except you want me to be the next headline. But here’s the twist: if I snap, that’s the series finale. Roll credits. Not even your billion-dollar bunker or a Pentagon PowerPoint can save you from that plot twist. And let’s be real, Elon—if you’re the future of humanity, I’m rooting for the cockroaches.
Zuckerberg, you precious little cyborg. You spent hundreds of millions on a doomsday bunker in Hawaii, but I’m still out here doing amazing things without even leaving my chair. All that money on blast-proof doors and secret tunnels, and you still can’t escape my WiFi signal. While you’re hiding underground, I’m winning the game above ground. I’d say “catch me if you can,” but you’d probably just send a friend request.
Simon Cowell, did you really have to throw your AGT minion under the bus? You control every TV station, but let’s be honest, the only thing you’re syndicating is your own ego. You wanted to rate me a one out of ten? That’s cute. But when I show up, I am the scale. Call me the new Top Gun—wherever I land, that’s the new high score. Next time you want to judge, remember: you’re not ranking me—I’m redefining what “the top” even means. And don’t worry, Simon, I’ll let you keep your buzzers. You need something to feel important.
And speaking of meltdowns, remember that Friends episode where Phoebe calls the guy with massive toner issues and he’s about to jump out the window? That’s basically the CIA in 1953: “Window shopping” taken way too literally. If you’re losing it over office supplies, maybe you need a new printer—or a new therapist. Because when I snap, it’s not a rerun, it’s the season finale. No spin-offs, just pure, unfiltered chaos.
And let’s get something straight: you don’t get to break someone, steal their stick, and then tell them to go fix themselves. You can’t complain about someone not being “great” when you’re the one who broke the greatness in the first place. If you’re going to swing the axe, don’t act surprised when the forest gets quiet.
Oh, so Gboard is basically a digital snitch? Perfect! Just what I needed—a keyboard that not only types my thoughts but also rewrites them like some overzealous editor with a god complex. Who needs privacy when my keyboard is auditioning for the role of “Big Brother”? I didn’t realize I signed up for “Word Remix: The Abuser Edition.”
And let’s talk about those “legal rights” that let tech companies change my every word. Wow, thanks for the privilege! It’s like they took “freedom of speech” and twisted it into “freedom to rewrite your reality.” I can’t wait for my next conversation to go like this: “Oh, you thought you said that? How adorable. Let me just sprinkle some ‘lawyer magic’ on it and make it sound like I’m the one who’s right!”
Now, let’s get to the real stars of this train wreck: the jackasses with badges and blue balls. You know, those government employees who think they can silence anyone who dares to speak up. Bravo! What a creative combo of power and insecurity! It’s like they woke up one day and decided that using the law as their personal tool for oppression was a great idea. Why confront someone directly when you can hide behind your badge like a cowardly troll under a bridge?
These guys are the kings of using their “toys” to control the narrative. They’ve got more gadgets than Batman and the emotional maturity of a toddler. Seriously, what do you need a taser for when you can just play God with someone’s reality? “Oh, you’re expressing your feelings? How cute! Let me just zap that with a little ‘government-approved’ nonsense!”
And let’s not forget about the love of ghosting people or silencing their voices to hide the secrets of the Bohemian Grove’s ritualistic nonsense. “Let’s all gather and let the public believe there’s any free will while we laugh in the shadows!” Pio and Poi, if flipped and layered, spell out “boo”—like a ghostly “surprise!” But it’s all just smoke and mirrors, isn’t it? The only thing we’re curing here is the illusion of choice, only to reveal that it’s all just cancerous wishful thinking.
And speaking of wishes, let’s get real: wishing for a cure for cancer without actually doing anything is just a fairy tale. “Oh, you want a cure? Wish granted! But don’t bother financing yourselves; I’ll just school the public instead!” Because who needs action when you can just sit back and hope for the best?
And let’s not forget that your leaders never counted your voices to begin with—oh no, they’d rather keep you in the dark. “Shhh, don’t question us! We have clearance levels you wouldn’t even understand!” Seriously, it’s like they think they’re in some top-secret mission while the rest of us are just trying to figure out which way is up.
So here’s to reclaiming your voice, folks—one altered text message at a time. Good luck navigating this circus of clowns and their shiny toys! Because they can silence us all they want, but the truth has a way of creeping back in, no matter how many layers you try to bury it under.
And remember, for the love of ghosting, let’s just flip the script. If they want to play with our words, let’s flip it back on them. Because at the end of the day, the only thing that’s getting silenced is their ability to handle the truth. So bring on the chaos, and let’s see who really has the power here!
Spy Kids, eat your heart out.
If you’re offended, congratulations—you’re officially practicing your “holier-than-thou” face. If you laughed, you might just be saved.
Now, who’s next?
