“Sir, there is something on your chin,” the handwritten message read. Biden appeared to have a yellow-orange and translucent object, resembling a piece of egg yolk, on the right side of his chin. Then appears to put whatever was on his chin in his mouth?

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker endorsed Joe Biden for president on Monday, the latest high-profile supporter to back the former vice president. "The answer to hatred & division is to reignite our spirit of common purpose. @JoeBiden won't only win - he'll show there's more that unites us than divides us," Booker tweeted. "He'll restore honor to the Oval Office and tackle our most pressing challenges. That's why I'm proud to endorse Joe." Booker will join Biden for events in Flint, Michigan, and Detroit, a Biden campaign official told CNN. Biden retweeted Booker's post Monday afternoon, saying he is "incredibly...

WASHINGTON - - Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. Booker announced on Twitter early Monday that Biden will “restore honor to the Oval Office and tackle our most pressing challenges.” Booker ended his own presidential bid in January, pledging to do “everything in my power to elect the eventual Democratic nominee for president.” “The answer to hatred & division is to reignite our spirit of common purpose,” Booker tweeted. His decision follows recent Biden endorsements by several failed Democratic presidential candidates, including Sen. Kamala Harris of California and former...

Sen. Cory Booker. D-N.J., announced Monday he is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race. With his departure, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is now the only black candidate remaining in the 12-candidate Democratic primary.

Those racist Democrat voters just eliminated another protected minority candidate. – A year ago today, the conventional wisdom among the D.C./New York City pundit class held that the Democrat 2020 presidential nomination would most likely end up being won by one of Kamala Harris, Irish Bob O’Rourke or Cory Booker. As of today, all three formerly leading candidates are out of the race with the exit Monday morning that Booker is done. Yeah, the Senator from New Jersey only officially announced he was “suspending” his campaign, but c’mon, we all know he’s done, and so does he. And thus, those...

New Jersey Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker said President Trump's upcoming impeachment trial and other issues demanding his attention in Washington could be a "big, big blow" to his efforts to win next month's Iowa caucuses. Booker told The Associated Press in an interview for its "Ground Game" podcast that his campaign's internal metrics indicate he would finish in a "pretty exciting place" in the February 3 caucuses, but his Senate responsibilities could hamper his ability to remain competitive. "It's going to be a challenging four weeks into caucus for us where our strengths are going to be...

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker on Friday declared his bid for the presidency in 2020 with a sweeping call to unite a deeply polarized nation around a “common purpose.” The New Jersey Democrat, who is the second black candidate in a primary field that’s already historically diverse, delivered his message of unity amid an era marked by bitter political division. “I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal justice...

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said on Sunday the possibility of impeaching Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh shouldn’t be off the table if Democrats take one of the houses of Congress in next month’s midterm elections. Kavanaugh was confirmed on Saturday by a narrow vote following a contentious process that included multiple sexual assault allegations. Other Democrats have raised the possibility of impeaching Kavanaugh over allegations that he committed perjury in his hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, on which Booker sits.

Senator Cory Booker's self-proclaimed "Spartacus moment" was everything but that. The truth will set him free, right? (video montage - click link below)

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is not done with DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Not even close. The intense tantrum from Booker at the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday was due to two things; 1) He’s running for president in 2020; and 2) the “tears of rage” that flowed when he heard about the president’s remarks about immigrants from “s**thole countries,” and why are we letting them come here. Nielsen couldn’t recall the president using this exact language when he said it during a meeting between Democrats and Republicans over immigration, the obstacle that could shut down the government later tonight.

Sen. Cory Booker said Wednesday that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s testimony was “offensive” and accused her of lying under oath. “She pretended like she didn’t remember. She couldn’t remember what the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, her boss, was saying. She didn’t remember Lindsey Graham, who challenged the president on his vile words. Yesterday, it was so offensive to me she lied under oath,” Mr. Booker, New Jersey Democrat, said on CBS News.

Antibiotic made by nose microbes kills MRSA, say researchers, amid hopes that more weapons in the fight against drug resistance might be found in the body Nose-dwelling microbes produce an antibiotic which kills the hospital superbug MRSA, scientists have discovered. The finding suggests that the human body might harbour a rich variety of bacteria that could be harnessed in the fight against antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a growing cause for concern, with experts warning of an impending “apocalyptic” situation in which patients die following routine surgery because of infections that can no longer be treated. Among the superbugs of...

Ted Cruz inadvertently took the internet by storm during Thursday night’s Fox News GOP debate, when he appeared to eat a small object off of his lip. The Texas senator was talking about Donald Trump supporters about 25 minutes into the 8 p.m. debate, when the mysterious white object first appeared on his top lip. In the high-drama television that ensued, it was passed back and forth between his upper and lower lip for the next few moments. Just after mentioning Trump supporters being “angry at Washington” and his rival candidate’s “angry rhetoric,” Cruz closed his lips around the crumb....

Former "Moonlighting" star Cybill Shepherd is way too picky!

I'm a little embarrassed that Texas is being thrashed by the state of Kentucky when it comes to political candidates with screwy hick nicknames. Take Jason "Booger" Jude, 27, who is running for sheriff in Kentucky's Martin County. In snooty Austin, if a guy nicknamed Booger were running for office, he'd probably change his name to something more pretentious. In Kentucky, a guy running for office might change his name to Booger. Unless he were already known as Gatemouth. So Jude's name will appear on the ballot as Jason "Booger" Jude. Booger is sticking with his nickname because everybody knows...

Almost everywhere I go lately I see people picking their teeth of I assume plaque/food and sometimes flicking it away from them. Even when they don't flick it these people push elevator buttons I push, type on computer keyboards I use, and push doors I push. Where did this come from? It's like picking your teeth in public with your bare hands in the latest trend. In fact, I am in a computer lab on campus sitting next to some mofo picking his teeth as I type this -- seriously. This is gross and it must stop. Do people realize...

There have been sooooo many typical Friday articles today...seems like folks are looking to blow off soem steam. :) So here we go...write whatever you want..."unnngh!"

Okay, so I had bought this Bic pen like 4 years ago. Yesterday I found it in a drawer and it's missing the cap so I'm afraid to carry it in my pocket. Does anyone know where I can buy another cap? Does Bic have a website?

Title: "Snot Flies in Taiwan-Singapore Row"Singapore is alarmed by the rise of independence forces in Taiwan Taiwan's foreign minister has sparked a diplomatic row by calling Singapore "the size of a piece of snot". Chen Tan-sun was angry over comments made by Singapore's foreign minister, George Yeo, who recently said Taiwan should not press for independence.
