THIS time around, the Best Memes of the Week address a wide range of topics. However, the attempt by Democrats and their media to deny the recession continues to capture everyone’s attention. Climate change, monkeypox, the usual woke nonsense, and celebrities like Demi Lovato and Ben Affleck also make their way into this weekly compilation.
The best memes about the recession
Last week we learned that Wikipedia blocked the editing of its entry on the recession due to multiple attempts to change its definition. This week, the Democrats and their like-minded media have chosen to simply ignore it, thinking that it will just go away by closing their eyes and repeating that we are not in a recession. In the meantime, they blame all economic ills on the citizens, blaming them for climate change and asking them to compromise and make all kinds of sacrifices.

The best memes about celebrities
This week celebrities like Will Smith, Demi Lovato, and Ben Affleck have returned to the news, but not for professional reasons. Will Smith has appeared in a video apologizing to Chris Rock for slapping him during the Oscars. Demi Lovato says she now feels feminine again and asks us to go back to using the pronouns she/her and not they/them with her—as if we had—. Finally, a photo of an exhausted Ben Affleck on vacation with Jennifer Lopez has prompted meme creators to recall the marriage contract whereby the singer would have demanded a minimum of four sexual relations a week.
We wonder who is causing more damage, JLo to Ben Affleck or Biden to the economy.

The insistent woke narrative cannot be left out of this section. The cliché topics, such as gender ideology and recent affairs with diseases, are still mocked in many memes.
