Here’s a shot of one of my favorites. North Pier Lighthouse in Duluth, Minnesota. Standing tall where Lake Superior meets the canal, she’s a symbol of strength, guidance and Great Lakes history.” - photographer Jon Columbus

Brian JopekMackey does such a good job with ICE that Noem sends him to Mar-a-Lago, where Donald Trump is waiting with a toddler-sized JD Vance. After Trump names Mackey the new head of Homeland Security, he brings the former school counselor to his room for a threesome with himself and Satan. The babyfied Vance offers to lend a hand, “Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan’s asshole, boss?” - Jack Dunn

Brian JopekWilson Pickett picked up the beat and had a Top 40 hit in 1967 with this Solomon Burke tune (that’s way too short, IMHO) and the Blues Brothers had that classic rendition in 1980 at the Palace Ballroom but it was SB who first laid it out there in 1964.
