JENNIE “Mantra” – Identifying the Cars in the Music Video

I just went to a car show over the weekend and maybe the universe is telling me something because I also stumbled across a music video featuring some awesome cars hauled in for the shoot. I wouldn’t recommend setting them on fire but I guess it’s all in the name of art for JENNIE andContinue reading “JENNIE “Mantra” – Identifying the Cars in the Music Video”

I came across an X post from Clay Travis about a new ad supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. His post is actually misleading– the commercial below WASN’T created or endorsed by the Harris-Walz team. In fact, if Mama-la and the Knucklehead ever see it, I’m 99% sure they’d disavow it immediately. Not because they’reContinue reading “Harris Walz Parody Meant to be Serious – A Huge Flop!”
