  • What the Royal Heck Are Harry and Meghan Thinking?
    2026/08/27

    When Harry and Meghan left the UK six years ago, the press labeled it "Megxit." Since then, Prince Harry has publicly aired grievances about his family, fought ongoing security battles, and faced millions in court costs after losing high-profile suits against the British tabloid press.

    Now, the non-working royals and their two kids are reportedly planning a move back to Britain. Why step right back into the right royal rotor blades of a merciless media circus? What does this means for the future of the British Monarchy

  • Hunter Biden Bites Back!
    2026/08/07

    Carrying on a tradition of troublesome First Family members, Hunter Biden is no exception. Drugs, broads, influence peddling, and an abandoned laptop — it was catnip for the right wing media. Lately he’s been responding to his critics with a combination of humor and indignation. Is he a truth teller or just another troll?

  • Are Movies Back?
    2026/07/19

    When we were all addicted to staying home and watching streaming TV, the fear was that the pictures had gotten “small,” just as Gloria Swanson claimed in “Sunset Boulevard” (1950). But with boffo box office returns, will 2026 be the year they get big again? Movie theatre attendance is turning out to be the strongest box office year since before the Lockdown in 2019, and Jim and JB are hot on the case. What’s causing people to go back to the cinema? Boomer Has It takes a look.

  • Should Democrats Recapture the Flag? Thoughts on Patriotism
    2026/07/12

    Samuel Johnson may have called patriotism the “last refuge of a scoundrel,” but what’s wrong with being proud of your flag? Many on the left will give you a mouthful of reasons, allowing the right to co-opt national pride. Progressive designer Kimberley Gordon of Selkie recently drew fierce criticism from Democrats with her stars-and-stripes-themed clothing line. LGBTQ+ leaders and celebrities express a complicated relationship with the American flag. JB and Jim examine this thorny issue and ask: Is it time for non-MAGA Americans to take back the flag?
