ROGAN RUSHES TO DEFEND CANADA’S FREEDOM: Everyone agrees that Donald Trump did his candidacy a LOT of good by spending a whopping two hours and 59 minutes with superstar podcaster Joe Rogan last October 25. Rogan’s wildly popular podcast boasts about 19.5 million subscribers, most believed to be men under the age of 35. Rogan wasn’t holding back though in his (March 14) podcast with Michael Kosta of the Daily Show, of his strong feelings of disapproval over Trump’s attacks on Canada. “We gotta become friends with Canada again. This is so ridiculous. I can’t believe that there’s like anti-American and anti-Canadian sentiment going on. It’s the dumbest f***ing feud.” Rogan went on to say, “I don’t really think they should be our 51st state. There, I said it.”

How about giving him a beeper?” Netanyahu said, according to the English language newspaper The Forward. “This is a silver-plated beeper. The real beeper is, like, one-tenth the weight. It’s nothing, but it changes history.” During his visit to the White House last month, Netanyahu gave President Donald Trump a replica pager, plated in gold, of course.
