WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii announced Tuesday that she's leaving the Democratic Party because it's "now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness." In a video statement posted on social media, Gabbard, 41, accused Democrats of dividing the country "by racializing every issue, stoking anti-white racism" and "actively working to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution." "The Democrats of today are hostile to people of faith and spirituality," she continued. "They demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans. The Democrats of today believe...

A giant Mega Millions lottery jackpot ballooned to $1.02 billion after no one matched all six numbers Tuesday night and won the top prize. The new estimated jackpot for Friday’s drawing will be the nation’s fourth-largest lottery prize. The jackpot has grown so large because no one has matched the game’s six selected numbers since April 15. That’s 29 consecutive drawings without a big winner. Tuesday’s numbers were: 07-29-60-63-66, Mega Ball: 15.

It took awhile, but the Star Wars prequels are now considered cool. Will Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull get the same critical re-evaluation? It hasn’t happened yet, and maybe it shouldn’t considering the film features a scene where Shia LaBeouf swings through the jungle with a bunch of CGI monkeys, but… what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, the Indiana Jones movie with the aliens. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull writer David Koepp recently appeared on the Script Apart podcast, where he discussed the decision to add extra-terrestrials to the Indy...

ohn Carpenter’s The Thing is a cult classic forty years after its initial release, and the discussion for it hasn’t died down as a new fan theory has come along to explain an oddity from the film and its prequel/sequel. Throughout both the 1982 “original” and its 2011 follow-up, The Thing as an organism is incapable of communication outside of its human host. It’ll kill them mercilessly, feasting on paranoia as much as it does the flesh itself. This fan theory from /u/Outrageous-Career-91 explains why it doesn’t communicate with humans. (snip) Essentially, the disgust and mistrust it has for mankind...

Oldie but goodie. Psychic Medium Matt Fraser who communicates with the dead goes on a live show, reads one of the hosts and says something shocking on air about a "child" with the grandmother who passed away.. For the first 3 minutes, he communicates and explains the grandmother of one of the hosts on the "other side" UNTIL the 3:05 mark "oh yeah, she's cradling this child in her arms.." and that's when the host has the look of "God, please cut into commercial"

notifed this morning to attend an "emergency" meeting at a certain fag studio this afternoon.. You would think its about box office numbers, contracts and copyrights, greenlit projects as it involved hundreds of producers like myself in a big room.. BUT HELL NO! It's about Roe v Wade and the studio head was literally crying in front of us, pleading to make MORE abortion projects, aside from gay fag LGBQTABC123 stuff. 2 damn hours of garbage, and speaker after speaker of execs who had an abortion. God, the comedy of the exploding heads. You mean you have to call us...

If you can spot the hidden message in this image then you’re smarter than most. The visual puzzle challenges you to find the “hidden tiger” in the jungle scene – and it’s harder than you think. That’s because the artwork contains not one but two big cats, with one much easier to identify than the other. Alongside the fairly obvious striped predator in the middle, rather than a second tiger, the image contains the text “the hidden tiger”. It’s this text that you’re tasked with finding in order to solve the fiendishly difficult puzzle.

I "tried" buying a can of Monster today at a convenience store. Genius store clerks called the bill "fake" and told me to stay while they call 911.. I said don't be stupid, you cant call 911 because it's not an emergency. They got 911, operator said something (like "you're an idiot, don't call for stupid crap like this" and they hung up. Yeah I know, I doubt they were Americans and it's obvious they never knew the existence of a $2 bill

Ryan from Fortnine is one of the best bike personalities aside from Bikes N Beards. Holds a Physics background so he explains on his videos how an engine works so he does simplify the science behind motorcycles for each of Fortnine's videos..(meaning go back to your Physics high school class lol)

From the Handyman channel on youtube. 2 years old but a good one. First 5 minutes, he "installs" a smoke detector and makes $125. Hard work right? ;) 2nd "work" he has to swipe a sink garbage disposal. According to a handyman dude I know of, Handyman is correct..there mostly is a rat or disgusting underneath there LOL
