Ohio Republicans Dragged For $300,000 Plan To Rename State Park To Honor Trump

Ohio Republicans are being made fun of online after proposing a bill to rename Mosquito Lake State Park as Donald J. Trump State Park.

The bill would also allocate $300k in taxpayer money to adjust the state's signage to reflect the change in name.


Freshman Republican Representative Mike Loychik, who sponsored the bill, issued a statement, saying:

"This legislation is meant to honor the commitment and dedication that our 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, bestowed upon the great people of Trumbull County."
This enthusiasm for our former president was also historic throughout the state of Ohio last November as he pushed for initiatives and policies that was very well-received with my constituency and the state."








Although President Trump lost the 2020 general election, he won the state of Ohio by a wider margin than any candidate in history.



Democratic Representative Rich Brown commented on the bill, saying:

"Ohioans' are struggling with an addiction crisis, economic disruption, and a pandemic that the other guy said would disappear just like magic. Instead of addressing these pressing issues, Ohio House Republicans are spending their time flattering the Insurrectionist in Chief."



The Ohio Department of Natural Resources also came to the defense of the park's current name, commenting:

"The name has withstood the test of time. Mosquito Creek Lake was formed by damming Mosquito Creek back in 1944. Since then, Mosquito Lake State Park has become one of Ohio's best state parks, best fishing lakes, and has one of Ohio's most important wildlife refuges."

Ohio Republicans have also sought to turn June 14, Trump's birthday, into a state holiday.

It seems Ohio's favorite kind of President is a twice-impeached one.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
