    In a wide-ranging speech at a campaign rally Saturday night, President Donald Trump ramped up attacks against his opponent, Joe Biden, calling Biden the “dumbest of all candidates,” and went so far as to declare, “maybe I’ll sign an executive order that you cannot have him as your president.” “He is the worst candidate. The dumbest of all candidates,” Trump said of former Vice President Biden. “He is the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics.” Trump also expanded on his unproven claim that Biden is on drugs, stating, “they gave him a big fat shot in the a—…...

    A woman at a KFC in California was filmed screaming at employees — and even jumping on the counter of the restaurant — after she was allegedly refused service for not wearing a mask. Footage of the Kentucky-fried fiasco shows the maskless woman first becoming aggressive with a female employee before quickly jumping on the counter and yelling, “Gimme something to f---ing eat! I’m hungry!” The woman then directs her largely unintelligible rant at a male employee, at one point daring him to call the cops. She also threatens to “stab” the female employee unless she gets “something to eat”...

Eric Swarbrick, 28, must spend 30 months behind bars in connection to threatening letters, in which he also wrote that he wanted to rape and kill pop star Taylor Swift. “Too often, we have seen the consequences of ignoring signs of escalating violent behavior by some individuals,” U.S. Attorney Don Cochran said when charges were first filed in September 2018. “The attention given to this matter by our law enforcement partners and the resulting federal...

    It's always nice to feel appreciated by your partner — that's how "push presents" (gifts to pamper your wife for carrying your child) even became a thing, right? One woman in Japan got shown a whole lot of love from her husband in the form of cash, to the tune of 100,000 yen (S$1,284). The amount was given to "compensate" her for providing breast milk for the first six months of their baby's life. According to a translation by SoraNews24, her husband had written on an envelope containing the cash: "It's not much, but this is in appreciation for the...

  • Honest Recommendation of M&P 45 Shield

    So I have owned a lot of pistols over the years. Rugers, Springfields, S&W's, Glocks, Taurus's (OMG), and a few others. Does anybody have any good experience with the M&P 45 shield? I own a 9mm version and I am not happy with the the fact that the slide doesn't chamber when I throw or slam in a fully loaded new magazine like my other M&P's do. That functionality saves me about 1.5 - 2.0 precious seconds. What's the fix on that? Do you like your 45 shield? Concealable? Holster types? Recoil? Comfort? Anything else you wish to add.
