A former U.S. Army reservist described by prosecutors as a Nazi sympathizer was convicted Friday of storming the U.S. Capitol to obstruct Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory. Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, who worked a security contractor at a Navy base when he joined the pro-Trump mob on Jan. 6, was also convicted of disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors. Hale-Cussanelli took the stand in his defense and claimed he didn't know that Congress met at the Capitol building. "I know this sounds idiotic, but I'm from New Jersey," Hale-Cusanelli said, according to WUSA-TV. "In all my studies, I didn't...

A female cat with an adorable 'mustache' is capturing hearts on Instagram – with people comparing her to the late Queen star Freddie Mercury. Introducing Mostaccioli, the distinguished feline who was born with a black mark across her top lip that leaves her with a very impressive 'tash. The stray kitten was found by owner Natalie, from California, alongside her three brothers when she was just one day old on 30 August 2020, whimpering and soaked in her mother's garden. But since this rough start to life, Mostaccioli has grown and is now a beloved pet, with thousands of fans...

One of the toughest questions for any politician – or anyone for that matter – is the question of whether he should trust his instincts. The case of John Bolton offers a textbook example. Reports say that President Trump’s first impression regarding John Bolton was to steer clear of him because of his mustache. Perhaps it might have made more sense to steer clear of him for the obvious reason that his foreign-policy views are demonstrably insane. But as reasons go, that mustache would have done just fine. Various wags said it made Bolton look like a walrus. Others said...

It’s a tired lie. It’s been repeated by politicians, celebrities and admirers of the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood. The fact is, saying Planned Parenthood does mammograms does not make it so. Last night at the Indiana Gubernatorial Debate, abortion came up (video here, question begins at 30:13). Democrat John Gregg defended his support for taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood, citing mammograms as a reason they deserve our tax dollars. Let’s be clear: Planned Parenthood does NOT do mammograms. Even Planned Parenthood’s head, Cecile Richards, was forced to admit this fact at a Congressional hearing in 2015. So, Planned Parenthood does...

A Trenton man faces numerous charges after authorities say they found a large cache of weapons and ammunition in the New Jersey Pinelands.

The November is over and it's time to shave, or remove the mustache any way possible.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, - A Turkish plastic surgeon says he's keeping busy performing mustache implants on men wanting to project virility, wisdom and maturity. Dr. Selahattin Tulunay told CNN he's doing 50 to 60 of the procedures each month, using a technique called follicular unit extraction in which clumps of hair are transplanted from other parts of the body under local anesthetic. Most of his patients are medical tourists from the Middle East between the ages of 30 and 50 who pay about $7,000 each, the U.S. broadcaster reported Thursday. "For some men who look young and junior, they think [a...

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the unnamed woman's neighbors first noticed that several thousand dollars were missing from a security box inside their home. A later review of the box revealed that an additional $9,000 was missing.

Hey, is that Magnum P.I.? Nope - it's Charlie Sheen! And In Touch magazine says the reason Sheen's wearing this ridiculous get-up is because the married TV star is on his way out of his new girlfriend's home.

...What happened? For the past 20 years, a parade of facial hair has taken root on the faces of movie stars and American men - sideburns, the three-day beard, the chinstrap, the soul patch. The goatee returned from the 19th century and seemingly brought eight cousins with it. But the mustache? As far as pop culture is concerned, the mustache remains trapped in the land of porn and irony.

In case you have been in a hole the last few years, stylish men have cast aside razors for electric clippers and taken to styling their face and body hair — aka “manscaping” — with a zeal not seen since Edward Scissorhands. The beard, that onetime symbol of rural cluelessness, has become a badge of urban hipsterdom. This has grown to include a spectrum of variations, from a week’s slackerly growth to a handsome Czar Nicholas II beard to a full-blown Rutherford B. Hayes thicket. But its upstairs neighbor, the mustache, has had a bumpier ride. It, like the beard,...

Almost half U.S. women do not mind if a man is losing his hair, but 99 percent are against comb-overs, a new survey has found. Forty-eight percent of the women in the online poll for Cargo magazine say men shouldn't even worry about hair loss, while 32 recommend going with the flow and cutting all hair off.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Sunday that when the full Senate debates the nomination of Dr. Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State on Tuesday, she intends to repeat charges that Rice deliberately misled the nation about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "I will lay out again on the Senate floor [why] I do not believe [she] has been candid with the American people," Sen. Boxer told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer." "[She's] gone on shows like yours and made statements that I don't think were true, or they were half-true, didn't tell the whole story, didn't level...

BAGHDAD -- U.S. soldiers sifting through the rubble of a bombed-out Baghdad restaurant have found compelling new evidence that Saddam Hussein was killed in a Coalition air raid: They've recovered what appears to be the remnants of the brutal dictator's trademark bushy mustache! The scorched whiskers were reportedly uncovered in the ruins of the al-Sa'ah Restaurant, which was destroyed in an air strike on April 7 after U.S. intelligence received word that the Iraqi strongman was dining there. "We are 95 percent sure that this is Saddam's mustache," declares a military source who requested anonymity. "If DNA tests confirm that,...
