Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Remember, Donald Trump occupies his current office illegitimately. Therefore, it's incorrect to say, "The President of the United States shat himself on live television."

In our new bonus segment, we consider Mel Brooks' comments about the Marxes' first MGM film, and come to the surprising conclusion that he meant what he said. We then explore the relationship between the 2,000 Year Old Man and the Four Horsemen of the Apoplexy.

PINTELE UPDATE 16! Why is this project different from all other projects? Here's an update on the side project I've barely mentioned, The Pintele Haggadah. Also, the best indication yet of when PINTELE might actually be available, and I can stop teasing it. Soon!

A screenshot of a Facebook post in the Marx Brothers Council group, posted by Bob Gassel. The text reads:
"It's that time! Now calling for submissions to our upcoming A Night at the Opera re-dive. We want your thoughts, nitpicks, and rants. How does it compare to the films that came before...or after? Did Thalberg save their career at the expense of their legacy? Any opinions or personal experiences with the film are fair game.
"Just note our guidelines..
"1) Please try and keep submissions under three minutes. If you need a bit of extra time to make your point, thatβs fineβbut aim to keep it concise.
"2) Unless it directly connects to your point about the film, please skip prefacing your comments with how you discovered the Marxes. Weβll dedicate a future episode to your Marx origin tales.
"3) Finally, try not to just list your favorite gags and scenes. They're pretty much the same for everyone, and don't give us much to respond to.
"Your submissions may be edited for clarity and to avoid repetition. Any audio (or video format) is fine. The deadline is Friday, January 23, 2026. Please email all clips and links to:
"marxbrotherscouncilpodcast@gmail.com"
There's still time to send us your recorded comments about A NIGHT AT THE OPERA for inclusion in our January episode. See the screenshot for Bob's notes and guidelines. The deadline for submissions is Friday, January 23. Please, join the conversation -- because it's coming apart!

Future scholars can understand life in the United States in 2026 by imagining that after Pearl Harbor or 9/11, 77 million Americans had chosen Yamamoto or bin Laden to be President of the United States.

Five years ago today, a mob of Republican terrorists stormed Capitol Hill under orders from the neo-Nazi criminal Donald Trump. The ensuing attack is burned into our national consciousness alongside Pearl Harbor and the World Trade Center.

Itβs the final Pintele update of 2025, and guess what: Itβs βfinished!β Now itβs just a matter of removing those quotation marksβ¦
These are the final hours of the last day of the year 2025, and I'm astonished to report that tonight, all seven episodes of PINTELE are finished.
Well, make that "finished..."
