White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany took to the podium yesterday where she assured that science wouldn't get in the way of reopening schools in the face of a pandemic and baselessly warned that expanded vote by mail measures would lead to a fraudulent election.


She also targeted the Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, accusing her of being too relaxed regarding crime in her city and denigrating her for not accepting federal intervention.

Mentioning gun violence in minority communities as an effort to avoid a question on Black Americans killed by police officers, McEnany said:

"I've listed for you the names of these kids who have died across the country. It is unacceptable, and under this President, he'll take action, and the derelict mayor of Chicago should step up and ask for federal help, because she's doing a poor job at securing her streets."

Like many major cities across the country, including New York, Chicago has seen a rise in shootings and murders compared to June in the face of the pandemic. Overall crime, however, has decreased.

Mayor Lightfoot didn't mince words when responding to McEnany's jab, referring to the press secretary as "Karen."

McEnany only doubled down.

McEnany included a link to a memo from President Donald Trump to Mayor Lightfoot, in which Trump urged Lightfoot to "put partisanship aside" and accept the federal government's help in establishing "law and order."

But federal intervention in establishing so-called law and order is painting a grim picture in places like Portland, Oregon, where armed federal officers who won't disclose their agency are arresting protesters before taking them away in unmarked, non-government rental vehicles.

Watch below.

People commended the Mayor's response.





They didn't take kindly to McEnany's response either.




As McEnany criticizes Lightfoot for not taking action to slow crime in her city, nearly 140 thousand Americans have died of the virus.

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.
