The loo-likeness quickly went viral on social media — leaving the presumptive GOP presidential nominee the butt of many jokes. “I can see the Trump face. I see Satan in my shower tiles…I’d rather be in the bathroom with Satan,” Johnny Claflin posted on Facebook. “I see Trump every Sunday at the grocery store when I pass the oranges,” Jason Harris wrote.

It’s easy to laugh at a grown man in a rubber dog suit chewing on a squeaky toy. Maybe too easy, in fact, because to laugh is to dismiss it, denigrate it – ignore the fact that many of us have found comfort and joy in pretending to be animals at some point in our lives. Secret Life of the Human Pups is a sympathetic look at the world of pup play, a movement that grew out of the BDSM community and has exploded in the last 15 years as the internet made it easier to reach out to likeminded...

Former president Bill Clinton praised Saddam Hussein's lieutenants and their underlings on Tuesday, saying they were mostly "good" and "decent" people." "When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added. While Clinton didn't name, names, Saddam's authority structure was dominated by his two murderous sons, Uday and Qusay, as well as notorious characters like Ali Hassan al-Majid, [aka Chemical...

What in the hell is going on in this country with the politics? I just channel flipped across Fox, MSNBC, and CNN (9:30 am Mountain time). Fox had a panel blasting Trump for tweeting himself eating a taco bowl when he wants to deport all the illegals. Gee if I remember we still ate sauerkraut during WWII. And then one of the panel said there is no such thing as a taco bowl. I guess here in New Mexico I have to stop eating taco bowls because they do not exist. Then the panel on MSNBC wanted to know what...

Over the last three months, Trump watchers have noticed that former House speaker and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has been consistently advocating on Trump’s behalf in the media, on Capitol Hill, among K Street power brokers, and on social media. In fact, Gingrich has morphed into Trump’s unofficial ambassador for GOP peace and unity, while also seeking converts in hostile territory. Gingrich is the most recognized and respected member of the GOP establishment who is defending the insurgent candidate — even as Trump rails against that same establishment. But now, it has become apparent that Gingrich is waging...

An Orange County man called 911 Monday night and calmly told dispatchers that he was going to the hospital for the treatment of a snake bite.

In an unannounced visit shrouded in secrecy, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. came to Iraq on Thursday for the first time in almost five years, in the hopes that he can help a weak prime minister and bolster the military campaign against the Islamic State. But the intense security concerns and the clandestine nature of the trip demonstrated the challenges....

Rachel Dolezal says she is writing a book about racial identity. Dolezal is the former NAACP chapter president who made headlines nearly a year ago when it was revealed she was white after she'd identified herself as a black woman. On Tuesday, she appeared on NBC's Today to talk about the past year and the book, which also will touch on her experiences and the topics she taught to college students as a black-studies professor. "Race is such a contentious issue because of the painful history of racism," she said. "Race didn't create racism, but racism created race. It's important...

Victoria Reid was arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon domestic violence and aggravated assault domestic violence. According to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Reid had a gun and confronted her husband of 16 years to discuss his affair. Reid demanded that her husband sit on the couch and told him that she was going to maim him and give him post-traumatic stress disorder, which she said...

Since endorsing Ted Cruz, conservative commentator and media mogul Glenn Beck has used his platforms on radio and TV to spread the word — that a Donald Trump presidency is not in God's plan. Beck and Trump have had a tense history throughout the campaign season, with Beck charging that Trump is not a real conservative and the billionaire maintaining that Beck is only hostile toward him because he rejected invitations to appear on Beck's show. But Beck has turned to a higher power that, for the religious, supercedes a media fight. For Beck, the choice for Republican voters this...

During his speech today

“I want to speak to you about something that may be controversial. And it’s not something that I have said when I have been out for Ted [Cruz] and now Mike [Lee]. But it’s something that this crowd needs to hear – that Utah needs to hear. The body of the priesthood is known to stand up when the Constitution hangs by a thread,” Beck said. ... “I joined many times. What held me through was the prophesy that the Constitution will hang by a thread, and this People would remember what our Founders did. It is our responsibility to...

A transgender man in Arizona with Asperger’s who was shot dead by police during a suicide call said him depression came from not being able to transition genders.

Dear Glenn, I've been with you since 9-12. I've traveled from Florida to participate in your Restoring Honor event in DC. Your Restoring Love event in Dallas. I've been a paid subscriber to The Blaze TV since you established it (and stuck with it even though I was keenly disappointed when you ended REAL NEWS and replaced it with Goth Girl, who mirror images Megyn Kelly, another snark queen). I've been among your biggest fans for years, but over time I've lost that lovin' feeling, and haven't watched or listened to you as much, finding your views and mine increasingly...

California Attorney General Kamala Harris, a candidate for U.S. Senate, on Sunday sharply criticized the armed activists occupying a remote national wildlife refuge in Oregon, calling the protestors “crazy” and their actions “obnoxious.”

Organization of delight is here this day, The Body of Christ coming together to form The Bride, lock in and stay, Fear and Doubt is not part of this wardrobe, The Tailor of Virtue has bought this design of Virtue and this dress is sold, Bringing it together with the thread of Unity, Every part of The Body, All in agreement to walk down the isle and meet The Groom, A picture of Delight and The Bride is swooned, So in love with her Boaz and King! She begins to sing ~ ~ ~ The Song of The Lamb and...

...the screaming in the dark you do on campus is more or less the same screaming in the dark you did in the crib, the same howl for the same reason.

At the Florida Democratic Party Convention, held October 30-November 1, Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed, “The Florida Democratic Party is back and better than ever.” Also back, it would seem, is the national party’s misguided emphasis on gun control. Speaking at a convention event held at the Walt Disney World Yacht and Beach Club Resort, Wasserman Schultz launched into an anti-gun screed aimed at getting members of her party to more fervently pursue gun control. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Wasserman Schultz demanded, “Democrats! We must close the gun show loophole! Democrats! We must require background checks...
