Dear Readers, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of April Fools’ jokes for this April 1, 2026. Due to the vast surfeit of actual April fools, AI fakes, and a disillusioned, disheartened and dissatisfied society, our world needs more than a joke.
What our world really needs is a complete and thorough cleansing of all of the April fools who are causing so much angst and anger across the globe. At the top of the list are the three Supreme Leaders who are now having a pissing contest in the Middle East: Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald J, Trump, and the mysterious Mojtaba Khamenei.
The biggest joke in this unholy trio is Mr. Trump, who has now “totally obliterated” the same military and nuclear targets many times over. Now, even the neediest students in my first Grade Five class knew that the word obliterate meant ” to destroy, to totally wipe out.” Obliterate was what the Chicxulub Impactor asteroid did to the dinosaurs. However, the very existence of these three fools may put that event into question.
Along with Mr. Trump on the North American side of the ledger are the hyper masculine displays on the public stage by the bombastic and theatrically aggressive Pete Hegseth, the President’s Secretary of Defense, of War, of Excursions and most recently, of Endeavours. “Kill ’em all” Pete does not believe in taking prisoners or leaving survivors, an attitude which serves Mr. Netanyahu’s interests quite nicely.
Sadly, no one in Palestine, Iran, and the other Middle Eastern countries is laughing after being drawn into a war started by Israeli-USA aggression. Before this conflict began the Strait of Hormuz was open to shipping. The global disruption to energy, fertilizers, food and other goods has been caused totally by Israel’s ultra-orthodox quest for total control of the Middle East, and MAGA mega stupidity. The most cruel joke is that Mr. Trump is asking the other Gulf states who have been targets of Iran’s defensive response to pay for the cost of his Iran war.
Hilarious. That’s like starting a gang fight in a schoolyard and then asking all the innocent bystanders who got hurt to pay for your bandages and broken baseball bats. As former President Barack Obama said In a recent interview, “You cannot make this stuff up. If you saw it on Saturday Night Live you’d say “Oh, that’s going a little too far.”
They may be laughing in the Knesset and the White House, but the rest of the world finds these April Fools guilty of very unfunny war crimes against humanity. Consider this: Israel has been ranked as one of the happiest ten countries in the world, How can you be happy when 75,000 dead lie scattered around your borders, the victims of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), what “Bibi” calls the “most humane and moral army” in the world.
T.S. Elliot was right. “April is the cruelest month of all.” That’s not a joke.
The way I see it.
