World News – Vatican Enquirer http://vaticanenquirer.com A satirical commentary on the news.

The Simpsons apparently knew what would happen in North Korea.

In the event that these rumors become reality, it would be his sister Kim Yo-Jong, the candidate to succeed him to the throne (yes, remember that this country is a monarchy), a situation that apparently was predicted in an episode of the Simpsons.

The Simpsons never cease to amaze us.

Thousands of fans of the animated series believe Kim Yo-jong as North Korea’s new leade because of an image that appears in one of the chapters of the series where an Asian-origin woman and dress commanding a tank.

Many point to this person as the Simpson version from the younger sister of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.

This scene corresponds to a chapter that was issued in the year 2004 which is why they predicted it about 16 years ago.

It should be mentioned that according to information from the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, Kim Yo-jong is the one chosen to continue the dictatorship prevailing in North Korea for 70 years, which has been inherited from generation to generation.

Trump Says He Doesn’t Need Bolton’s Book Read To Him http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-says-he-doesnt-need-boltons-book-read-to-him/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-says-he-doesnt-need-boltons-book-read-to-him/#respond Fri, 31 Jan 2020 15:11:24 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2749 Donald J. Trump has “no intention whatsoever” of having John Bolton’s book read aloud to him, Trump confirmed on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had obtained a draft manuscript of the Bolton book and had offered to read it aloud to him “like she does with all of the other books,” Trump said, according to The New Yorker.

“She reads the books to me slowly and stops when there’s a long word to tell me what it means,” Trump said. “But I told her that the Bolton book was the last book in the world that I wanted to hear.”

He also revealed that he was demanding a new trial without them.

Speaking from ADX Florence, a maximum-security facility in Colorado, the former drug kingpin complained that his trial would have resulted in a speedy acquittal had it not been for the irritating presence of witnesses, reports The New Yorker.

Denmark Offers to Buy USA http://vaticanenquirer.com/denmark-offers-to-buy-usa/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/denmark-offers-to-buy-usa/#respond Sat, 17 Aug 2019 05:53:55 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2724

COPENHAGEN (The Borowitz Report)—After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.

“As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.”

“Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,” the spokesperson added.

A key provision of the purchase offer, the spokesperson said, would be the relocation of Donald Trump to another country “to be determined,” with Russia and North Korea cited as possible destinations.

If Denmark’s bid for the United States is accepted, the Scandinavian nation has ambitious plans for its new acquisition. “We believe that, by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,” the spokesperson said.

Trump Demands Facebook Investigate Why Obama’s Post Got So Many Likes http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-demands-facebook-investigate-why-obamas-post-got-so-many-likes/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-demands-facebook-investigate-why-obamas-post-got-so-many-likes/#respond Thu, 08 Aug 2019 07:27:10 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2720 WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A furious Donald J. Trump has demanded that Facebook investigate why a status update posted by former President Barack Obama on Monday has received so many likes.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Trump said that the more than eight hundred and fifty thousand likes that Obama’s post had garnered as of Tuesday night were “phony,” and called the seeming popularity of the post a “rigged hoax.”

“There is absolutely no way that eight hundred and fifty thousand people liked Obama’s post,” he said. “I know a lot of people, and absolutely none of them like Obama.”

Trump said that, in addition to investigating Obama’s likes, he was demanding that Facebook remove several hundred thousand of Obama’s likes and “give them to me instead.”

Calling the former President’s Facebook post “as long and boring as a book,” Trump slammed Obama for being “terrible at social media, which is the most important part of a President’s job.”

“In that post he uses words like ‘motivations,’ ‘proliferate,’ and ‘unequivocally,’ ” Trump said. “How could over eight hundred thousand people like a post full of words that no one has ever heard of?”

Queen Elizabeth Moving to Canada http://vaticanenquirer.com/queen-elizabeth-moving-to-canada/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/queen-elizabeth-moving-to-canada/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2019 23:57:29 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2717 (The Borowitz Report) – Queen Elizabeth II is moving to Canada “immediately” and should take up full-time residence there by the end of the week, Buckingham Palace confirmed on Tuesday.

The Queen offered no reason for the move, but the palace indicated that she had been packing her bags for the past several weeks.

In a sign that the Queen’s decision is irrevocable, the palace revealed that her beloved corgis had already been flown to Toronto.

In a brief farewell statement to the British people, the Queen explained why she had chosen Canada as her new home. “We speak the language, and our picture’s on the money there,” she said.

She said that she had “no regrets” about abdicating the throne to her son, Charles. “At this point, there’s nothing he can do to make the U.K. more messed up than it already is,” she said.

Trump to Give Putin Office Space at White House http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-to-give-putin-office-space-at-white-house/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-to-give-putin-office-space-at-white-house/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2019 23:48:57 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2714 (The Borowitz Report) – In a sign that Donald J. Trump’s control over the Republican Party is now complete, congressional Republicans on Thursday defended his decision to give the Russian President Vladimir Putin office space at the White House.

A newly emboldened Trump told reporters that he had furnished Putin with a corner-office suite and secretarial staff to use whenever the Russian President is in town. “He says he plans to be here more and more,” Trump said.

Putin, who moved file boxes into his new office on Thursday afternoon, said he looks forward to many productive hours at the White House with few, if any, interruptions.

“At the Kremlin, people are always sticking their heads in my office, asking me questions,” he said. “President Trump just spends all day watching TV.”

At the U.S. Senate, a visibly angry Senator Lindsey Graham called allegations that there was anything improper about Trump giving office space to Putin “totally unfair, disgusting, and vile.”

“Vladimir Putin has worked harder to run the U.S. government than all of the Democrats in Congress put together,” Graham said.

Trump Furious That Mar-a-Lago Is Left with No Employees After ICE Raid http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-furious-that-mar-a-lago-is-left-with-no-employees-after-ice-raid/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/trump-furious-that-mar-a-lago-is-left-with-no-employees-after-ice-raid/#respond Sun, 14 Jul 2019 04:35:58 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2704

PALM BEACH, Florida (The Borowitz Report) – Donald Trump was reportedly “hopping mad” on Saturday after a surprise ICE raid left his Mar-a-Lago retreat with no employees.

The ICE agents conducting the pre-dawn raid swept through the opulent Palm Beach club and left guests with no one to prepare their food, wash their dishes, or clean their rooms.

When informed of the news, a furious Trump reportedly barked at his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his sons Eric and Donald, Jr., ordering them to hurry to Palm Beach and wait on tables.

A spokesman for Mar-a-Lago called the situation “dire,” warning that the resort had lost almost as many staff members as the White House.

U.S. Flag Recalled After Causing 143 Million Deaths http://vaticanenquirer.com/u-s-flag-recalled-after-causing-143-million-deaths/ http://vaticanenquirer.com/u-s-flag-recalled-after-causing-143-million-deaths/#respond Fri, 05 Jul 2019 03:07:14 +0000 http://vaticanenquirer.com/?p=2700 WASHINGTON—Citing a series of fatal malfunctions dating back to 1777, flag manufacturer Annin & Company announced Monday that it would be recalling all makes and models of its popular American flag from both foreign and domestic markets.

Representatives from the nation’s leading flag producer claimed that as many as 143 million deaths in the past two centuries can be attributed directly to the faulty U.S. models, which have been utilized extensively since the 18th century in sectors as diverse as government, the military, and public education.

“It has come to our attention that, due to the inherent risks and hazards it poses, the American flag is simply unfit for general use,” said Annin & Company president Ronald Burman, who confirmed that the number of flag-related deaths had noticeably spiked since 2003. “I would like to strongly urge all U.S. citizens: If you have an American flag hanging in your home or place of business, please discontinue using it immediately.”

Added Burman, “The last thing we would want is for more innocent men and women around the world to die because of our product.”

Millions of U.S. flag–related injuries and fatalities have been reported over a 230-year period in locations as far flung as Europe, Cuba, Korea, Gettysburg, PA, the Philippines, and Iraq. In addition, the company found that U.S. flag exports to Vietnam during the late 1960s and early 1970s resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, a clear sign that there was something seriously wrong with its product.

Despite fears about the flag’s safety—especially when improperly used or manipulated in ways not originally intended—sales continued unabated over the years, potentially putting billions of unsuspecting people in danger.

“At first, we wanted one of our flags in every home in America,” Burman said. “Unfortunately, the practical applications of this product are far outnumbered by the risks it presents. Millions have died needlessly, and when you ask people why, they point to the flag.”

Added Burman, “Frankly, we should have pulled it off the market decades ago.”

Studies conducted by the Annin & Company research and development department revealed that faulty U.S. flags have caused more than just injuries and deaths. During the mid-1950s, the flags were found to have the bizarre side effect of causing fear, paranoia, and hysterical behavior among millions of Americans. This was dismissed as an isolated event until September 2001, when similar symptoms reemerged on a massive scale.

As hazardous as the flags may be on their own, Annin & Company officials claimed the products become even more dangerous when used in conjunction with other common household items.

“When combined with alcohol, excessive patriotism, grief, or well-intentioned but ultimately misguided ideals, U.S. flags transform into ticking time bombs, just waiting to go off,” Burman said.

Manufacturers are addressing the flag’s unsafe and potentially lethal alignment of stars and stripes by designing a revised model that they hope will cut down on deaths in the United States and overseas, where experts say the flag is nearly 1,000 times as deadly.
