    Filmmaker, actor and outspoken Donald Trump detractor Rob Reiner says it is impossible to level with the Republican presidential nominee’s bigoted supporters, who are “mostly white males who don’t have college degrees.” In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said that there’s “a very serious strain of racism” that runs through those supporting the Republican presidential nominee. “And that’s a kind of disturbing thing, and I don’t think you ever reach those people. I think that they’re impossible to turn around. It’s very disturbing because a lot of these racist ideas have kind of been dormant for a...

    Stressed-out Michelle Obama went on a wild food binge and packed on a massive 95 pounds — triggering a shocking marriage crisis in the White House! Insiders told The National Enquirer that Barack Obama is fed up with her out- of-control appetite and exploding waistline, and has issued an executive order: Diet now, or we’re getting a DIVORCE!Now the disgusted Prez has even been caught without his wedding ring while touring the country of Laos! But the 5'11" first lady, crushing the scales at 257 pounds, still can’t stop stuffing her face, the insider said. She’s frantic with worry about...

    Director Oliver Stone opened up about his forthcoming Edward Snowden biopic Snowden in a recent interview, and called most Hollywood war movies “bullsh*t” — thanks to the CIA. “What you’re seeing is bullsh*t. And a lot of the war pictures you see, you don’t get, you know, you get it after the Pentagon has sanitized it. And they lie. They lie. As long as it is pro-American, that’s all that matters,” the three-time Oscar-winner said during an August 26 interview at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television. Stone says “the Pentagon has taken over. CIA has taken over...

    Big Hollywood ^ | Jeff Poor
    In an appearance on BBC’s “Newsnight” that aired Tuesday, comedienne Amy Schumer vowed to move to Spain if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the presidential election. Schumer questioned critics of Trump’s opponent Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, calling the people that “aren’t informed.” “That’s what I’m saying with the not being informed because those people aren’t informed,” Schumer said. “You know, if you go, ‘Why don’t you like Hillary?’ they’ll go, ‘She lied about her emails. What else is she going to lie about?’ People get one fact and that’s what they latch on to about a candidate. They’ll...

  • Homeowner booby traps pro-Trump sign in his front yard and sends a would-be thief flying (tr)

    09/06/2016 7:27:31 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 42 replies
    An Indiana man who was targeted for the Donald Trump poster he had erected in his front yard decided to take a stand against any future thieves who didn't share his political inclinations - by booby trapping the sign. The Indianapolis man, who wanted to only be identified as Phillip, said passers-by had twice tried to steal the sign in the last month, and so he took matters into his own hands. He jerry-rigged the sign with fishing wire that had been painted green and put up a video camera on a nearby tree, ready to catch the next thief....
  • Laureate: the Clintons’ university scandal the media isn’t discussing (June 9, 2016 story)

    09/06/2016 7:17:39 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 8 replies
    Why not? Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton over $16 million between 2010-2014 to be an “honorary chancellor,” Jonathan Turley reminds us, even while the alleged diploma mill got repeatedly sued for fraud. Laureate Education even has a twist that Trump University does not — $55 million in State Department grants to another group run by Laureate’s founder during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, and while Bill got millions to be its front man. So why isn’t the media pursuing both stories, Turley wonders? Laureate Education has been sued over such programs as its Walden University Online offering, which...

    New Hampshire Union Leader ^ | September 5th, 2016 | who knows what evil?
    A white silhouette of an exotic dancer straddling a stripper pole distracted drivers on Route 101 eastbound Sunday after the image appeared on a highway sign that’s supposed to display nearby attractions. It’s not clear when the image was placed on the blue sign just before Exit 5, but State Police reported it to the state Department of Transportation early Sunday evening, according to DOT spokesman Bill Boynton. Boynton described the image as a three-foot tall sticker or decal. He said it wasn’t authorized and that he had no idea how it got there. The sign is used to advertise...

    OAK BLUFFS (CBS) – A man is accused of going on a very strange crime spree on Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend. Oak Bluffs police say Felix Reagan committed a series of crimes that left a dog painted purple on Saturday afternoon. It all started when officers responded to Firehouse Lane for a report of a stolen motor vehicle that crashed, with the suspect fleeing on foot. About 5 to 10 minutes later, police were called to a Pinewood Lane house that had been broken into. A resident there said they arrived home to find a ground level window forced...

  • Abe Lincoln Trashes Clinton and Trump in This Insane Ad for Libertarian Gary Johnson

    ADWEEK ^ | August 29, 2016 | T. L. Stanley
    And now for something completely different in an election season dominated by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump—a political ad starring "Dead Abe Lincoln" telling voters they "just got screwed" by the two-party system. "What Abe Lincoln prophesied about Trump and Hillary," created on a shoestring budget by viral video mavens the Harmon Brothers, touts Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in a push to have the former New Mexico governor included in the upcoming presidential debates. Funded by Alternative PAC, a Johnson supporter, the five-minute video also promotes a movement called Balanced Rebellion, which, Abe says, "is like Tinder but not gross,"...
