If you’re like us, you’re a bit of a political news junkie. And, while we think you’re cool, there is really no reward for seeking out the dumbest newsmakers of the week as much as we do.
Well, now there is! Every month, we’ll be conducting a pop quiz based on the stories we covered over the past month on our YouTube / Rumble channels. By the way, you’re subscribed, right? If not, please head over to Rumble or YouTube (or both!) and connect with our awesome content.
Here’s how it’s going to work: We’re going to ask you a set of questions concerning some of the stories we covered this past month. Each question will have three choices. Do your best to answer the quiz. You can even check out our YouTube channel and re-watch this month’s videos to find some of the answers.
Choose correctly, and you get bragging rights for being the political wonk you are!
Choose poorly, and you’ll age rapidly and turn to dust like that guy looking for the Holy Grail.
Ready? Let’s begin the pop quiz, hotshot!
