HEADLINE TRUTH OR TRASH

"Painting Worth $340K Found in Dumpster!"

Truth! The painting by French surrealist Yves Tanguy was accidentally left at a check-in counter at a German airport. It had been wrapped in cardboard and they fortunately found it in a paper-recycling dumpster used by the airport's cleaning company.

"Taylor Swift Planning to Release 30 New Albums By End of Year!"
Trash! Don't be silly. 24 at most.

"HOA Tells Homeowner to Take Down Cross as a Christmas Decoration!"
Truth! In Raleigh, North Carolina, the HOA said crosses were for Easter and not Christmas. They gave the owner 30 days to take it down, which is after Christmas and he says that's when he would have taken it down anyway.

"William Barr Resigned After Refusing to Put On Santa Suit!"
Trash! I heard it was because he had heard the line, "Belly up to the Barr" once too many times.

"Fauci is 2020's Most Mispronounced Word!"
Truth! As in Dr. Anthony Fauci. At least according to the US Captioning Company. The K-Pop band Bangtan Sonyeondan (PUNG-tahn SOH-nyun-dahn) came in second. Kamala Harris was 5th.

"Bacardi Working on Their Own Version of the Vaccine!"
Trash! But if they did, it would make it a lot easier for people to take shots.

"Dairy Queen Drive-Thru Pay-it-Forward Chain Lasts for 900 Cars!"
Truth! In the town of Brainerd, north of Minneapolis. It continued for 2 1/2 days, 900 cars and over $10,000 in sales.

"Electoral College To Get It's Own Football Team!"
Trash! They wanted to, but the name 'Patriots' was already taken.
