THE MONTHLY EDITION OF THE MONTHLY NEWS MONTHLY ; A DIVISION OF THE NIGHTLY NEWS NIGHTLY
Dear Reader ,
My thanks to the staff at The Metro Times for bringing on the Monthly News Monthly as a contributor . What do we contribute ? It has yet to be determined . Also , it must be stated that the views and opinions expressed in this article do not nor should they probably ever represent the views and opinions of The Metro Times , its parent companies , underwriters , or readers . Let ’ s face it ... the following article is not suitable for the literate masses . That being said , enjoy .
The Summer in Review , So Far …
We begin with Kylie Jenner taking donations from overzealous celeb worshippers who don ’ t know any better than to donate to her cause of being the youngest self-made billionaire because let ’ s face it ; nothing says self-made like having a family known for merchandising every ounce of their being for years . From homemade accidentally-on-purpose leaked videos to reality television vehicles , to high profile relationships , break-ups , coming out stories , and internet-breaking media campaigns , the Kardashian- Jenner clan has undoubtedly paved the way for Kylie to be 100 % totally and entirely self-made . Which begs the question of our readers : Is it smart marketing or taking advantage of a public unwilling to let go of celebrity culture ? Maybe it ’ s time to have that discussion ? What do you think ?
Then there is the World Cup , honestly a time when the world can pull together and physically assault one other for reasons other than militaristic egocentrism . Mexico City experienced seismic activity because of Mexico ’ s victory against Germany in an earlier round … this one time it cannot be attributed to the aftermath of Taco Tuesday . Yes , the news is willing to sink that low . We maintain a high standard of journalistic integrity here at the Monthly News Monthly . Also , Russia had an opportunity to show off how diplomatic it could be by hosting the World Cup , just like Hitler showed the world how diplomatic he was when Berlin hosted the Olympics twice . The good news is that Putin kept his shirt on and no bears were harmed in the World Cup proceedings . Congratulations to the African French team – dubbed as such because half the French team is immigrants from various African nations . It is a beautiful message that no matter where you begin your journey , you can be a success as an immigrant .
NOW HIRING
Speaking of aliens , also this summer there was discussion of the formation of a new branch of the US Military , a new Space Force . President Donald Trump suggested this change to protect the Earth from baddies from outer space . His first instinct was to build a wall around the Earth ’ s atmosphere and let the Martians pay for it . After much Oval Office debate and discussion , his advisors finally convinced him that mortar and cement blocks would not hold together in the Earth ’ s atmosphere and that such a wall would block out the sun . Upon hearing this , Trump responded immediately by calling Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul
2104 Main St , Porterdale , GA 30014 ( 770 ) 784-9888
Ryan to tell them he has figured out a way to defeat those crazy environmentalists and their alleged solar energy . Fortunately , there will be no wall . A wall never worked for the Chinese , so there is historical precedent . When our top-notch investigative journalists looked into the motivations for creating the new space force , it was discovered that President Trump had recently watched “ Avengers : Infinity War ” and became alarmed that enemies to democracy like Thanos and his minions might invade Earth , probably with the help of the Martians that are coming to take our jobs .
Please note that the Monthly News Monthly only comes out on a monthly basis , but if you appreciated this new contribution to The Metro Times , please let them know so that we may continue our bombastic journalistic endeavors .
