1)A few questions @Comey should have been asked--but wasn't:

WASHINGTON, D.C.—During his much-publicized appearance before a bipartisan Senate committee Tuesday, the false, humanlike contact lens Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had placed over his left eye accidentally fell out, revealing the horrifying yellow lizard eye lying underneath. “Senator, I don’t have that information with me right now,” the tech billionaire said for the seven hundredth time just before the incident. As he moved to take a drink of water to appear like a real human who thirsts, the faux human-eye lens fell out of his eye socket and the awful, piercing alien eyeball underneath quickly focused on the Senator questioning...

Let’s hope Tony Finau is alright. The American PGA golfer scored a rare hole in one Wednesday at a Masters contest and then dislocated his ankle while celebrating. Finau is scheduled to partake in his first Masters Tournament beginning tomorrow.

Often times you come across a tweet that directs you to read a “thread” on something or other, and it’s usually just meh. But not this time… This time, it’s pretty epic:

Sitting quietly and squeezing a foam rubber ball is not as effective a method of relieving stress as just smacking someone in the gob, a new study has found. Stress balls are often found in high-pressure office environments to help staff work off unwanted nervous energy caused by irritating co-workers – but evidence suggests they’re even less effective than homeopathy. “My boss is a pernickity little Hitler and I’ve been trying to burn off my rage and frustration at him by squeezing a squeaky penguin I got from a trade show years ago,” said sales executive Caroline Hutchins. “No matter...

A meeting between Parkland students and anti-gun activists mobilizing for the highly anticipated March For Our Lives event in Washington, D.C. this weekend was captured on hidden audio Tuesday evening in Broward County, Florida and provided exclusively to DANGEROUS. The meeting, which was described as a non-partisan briefing for students, parents, and staff members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who are attending the #MarchForOurLives, was quickly exposed as being hijacked by Democratic Party top brass and fraught with extreme anti-conservative bias, misappropriation of school resources, and heavy-handed coaching for students when dealing with the media. Held at the Marriott...

Andrew McCabe‘s estimated $1.8 million pension was reportedly lost forever when he was fired. As it turns out, he may just have to wait awhile–but that amount may ultimately be substantially diminished. According to George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, McCabe’s firing late Friday night merely means the former deputy FBI director lost access to early pension recovery at age 50. The standard federal retirement period begins at age 57. Turley notes that under the Federal Employees Retirement System (“FERS”), benefits vest after five years of federal service. McCabe’s benefits, therefore, were not totally lost when he was fired...

A Republican state senator running for the Georgia governor's seat charged Wednesday that Delta Airlines is donating to groups that fund abortion provider Planned Parenthood, and thus continues to favor "left-wing" causes even though it just cut its partnership with the National Rifle Association. Sen. Michael Williams was on CNN Tuesday to complain about Delta when he was rebutted by CNN anchor Brianna Keilar. In a late Wednesday statement, he said Keilar only wanted to push a "false narrative," and said his new research into Delta showed the problem was worse than he first thought. “Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of...

This is a video of Gov Matt Blevin explaining why he thinks there isn't a simple solution to the recent school shootings. https://www.facebook.com/GovMattBevin/videos/1814943618805523/

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel defiantly refused to consider resigning his position after investigation revealed his investigators had multiple chances to stop a school shooter before the incident. Israel said on CNN’s “State of the Union” he “of course” would not resign despite devastating news about his department’s role in the shooting came out last week.

That was a disgraceful version of the Star Spangled Banner by Fergie. Then, as soon as she finished, she screamed, “Let’s play basketball.” Sheesh

Every morning, at 6am, Bones would nudge his owner, John, on the hand or nose, whatever was closest to the edge of the bed, to wake him up. John would get his wits about him, roll out of bed, and take Bones for a walk. This same routine happened every morning. For years. Then one day, Bones passed away, after a long and happy life. The next morning, right at 6am, John woke up and glanced at the clock. Slowly, he turned over, hugging his wife, and nuzzled her neck seductively. With his mouth close to her ear, he whispered,...

Intriquing story of AA Milne, Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh.

When I worked in the White House, I was viewed as strange by many of my colleagues on Sean Spicer’s press team. Although, as a deputy assistant to President Trump, I could regularly be seen on the major news networks, standing on the North Lawn of the White House and discussing some aspect of the administration’s latest policy, I maintained a rather different relationship with the press than all of my other politically-appointed colleagues. Unless we had a preexisting relationship, I didn’t trust any journalist. And if you came from an outlet that belonged to what President Trump calls #FakeNews,...

In Microsoft Edge, if I right-click on a link, and select Open in New Tab, I want Edge to go to that new tab. Is there a setting that will change its behavior, so it does what I want it to do?

So, my iPhone 7 Plus has run up against the securecheckapp scam, and it will not allow me to clear the clickbait pop up from any browser. I realize that securecheckapp is an Android scam, but how do I clear it on my iPhone? Anybody?

I just got a new SmartPhone and I am wanting to be able to watch live sports video feeds, particularly NFL and NBA, on my new iPhone 7 Plus.. Please post links and give me some advice as to the best ways to do this. I can provide more details on what I'd like to be able to do, if needed. Thank you.

New data out today from YouGov BrandIndex suggests that Fox News is losing its luster in the eyes of Republican consumers -- who, it must be noted, pretty much despise CNN and MSNBC more than ever.

Did anyone else receive a Social Security Benefits bonus deposit last night? There is no explanation, of course, but it is for more than a few dollars. I would love to know what brought this on, other than a bribe by the Obama administration.

Congratulations, Donald J. Trump, for earning the GOP nomination for President of the United States of America.
