SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Brothers James and Timothy Gardner took a short break this afternoon from fighting to fight even more.

The Gardner boys had spent the better part of the morning trying to inflict grievous bodily harm on each other. After lunch, they enjoyed a brief reprieve from fighting, which they spent trying to choke each other unconscious.

"They've been going at it for four hours," said their mother, Jenny Gardner. "A little while ago, I heard them stop bickering and I thought things were letting up, but then I realized they were just taking a break from their regular fighting to fight in a different way."

The Gardner brothers, ages 10 and 12, admitted they fought often but denied accusations of engaging in excessive conflict. "We don't fight all the time. Sometimes we stop punching each other so we can wrestle each other," explained James, 10. "We keep it in check."

"They often fight about what they've been fighting about, but just now I saw them stop and then start fighting about fighting about fighting," Jenny said. "It's like an infinite regress of fighting, if you will."

At publishing time, the Gardner parents had sent the brothers to their room and strictly instructed them not to open the door unless a bone was broken.


Tucker Carlson is just asking questions about World War 2. Why was it even fought? Was Hitler really such a bad guy? And why did Churchill never denounce the trans agenda?
