Happy New Year, Hordelings! First ONT of the year. Aren't you glad you stopped by?

America turns 250 this year. Check out this cool video from "America250".

The next chapter of our American story starts now.

250 years of rising, remembering, and turning toward one another to embrace our part in history.

As we begin this once-in-a-generation year, take a moment to reflect on who we are—and who we want to be. Happy 2026. Happy… pic.twitter.com/fUj2twHZDB

Can you imagine what kind of alternate universe video would have been made if Kamala was POTUS?

CBS News says they're totally gonna be better now

"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you."

That changes now. The new CBS Evening News… pic.twitter.com/NKdvRJjYCS

U.S. Customs Seizes Monkey Meat at Chicago O’Hare Airport

Chicago O’Hare International Airport, one of the busiest travel hubs in the world, made headlines this week after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials confiscated several illegal and disturbing items from an arriving passenger’s luggage—including monkey meat.
The traveler, arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo, was stopped during a routine inspection at O’Hare. Upon examination of their luggage, officers discovered over 11 pounds of pest-infested beans, 17 pounds of unidentifiable plant material, and approximately 4 pounds of dried monkey meat, which was later classified as non-human primate meat. In addition to the monkey meat, authorities also seized what they described as mummified small primates.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the article contains no mention of greasy, grimy gopher guts.
