    The Democrats are having a hard time connecting with normal people, and one congressman decided that the best thing to do would be to grab a guitar and throw down an anti-Trump version of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Hey Joe." The only problem is that he doesn't know how to play guitar. Like, at all. **SNIP** The unbuttoned shirt, for instance, was 1,000 percent a decision made moments before his intern hit record. This may have even been take two after he stopped in the middle of tie-on take one. "Wait; hang on… (*Unbutons shirt*) …Now we're ready." But let's...

    North Korea has successfully repaired and relaunched its new 5,000-ton naval destroyer less than a month after the boat embarrassingly capsized, according to state media reports. The Korean Central News Agency said the destroyer — the second one Pyongyang has built this year — was back in the water on Thursday. The reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was reportedly at the launch, held along the country’s east coast. Kim said the new battleship stood as “convincing proof of the rapid transformation of our Navy. … No one will doubt, I think, the rapid transformation of our Navy as...

    Where is Hank Johnson when you need him? He should be ringing the warning bell that the US is about to capsize under the weight of all of the illegal invaders.

    I was honestly speechless when I first saw Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) show his concern for the potential capsizing of the island of Guam a few weeks ago. Several readers informed me of his medical condition that may or may not have caused this man to become a crusader against island tipping. I found it amusing when Johnson’s office tried to explain away his delusional behavior by saying he was speaking metaphorically… or was it figuratively? But now, proving that a great joke never dies, Hank Johnson has reportedly received the endorsement of President Barack Obama in the Congressman’s primary...

    When US Rep Hank Johnson voiced his concern about Guam tipping over from too many people, most of us just laughed. Now this explosive scientific diagram has surfaced, showing that engineers have long feared exactly this type of situation. If action is taken to save this pristine island from tragedy, we can all thank US Rep Hank Johnson and the Democrats, the party of science. Who looks stupid now, huh?

    Many of you have probably already seen this. While I wish this was an April fools joke...I'm so glad it isn't...because its just too good... Rep. Hank Johnson thinks islands can capsize This guy represents the 4th District of Georgia, which is where his predecessor and fellow screwloose Cynthia McKinney came from. Clearly, there is something in the water in that part of Georgia. (One thing not in their water...REAL islands) I know the quality of the video isn't too great, but you can almost see the Admiral trying to hold back his smirk, and the woman behind him is...

    100 Missing After Boat Sinks in Pacific By ANDREW SELSKY, Associated Press Writer More than 100 people were feared dead after a boat laden with illegal immigrants capsized and sank in rough waters in the Pacific Ocean, officials said Wednesday after nine survivors clinging to a wooden box and buoys were rescued. Ecuadorean Navy Capt. Armando Elizalde told Colombian RCN television most of the 113 people aboard "sank with the boat." The disaster happened Friday night more than 100 miles off the coast of southwest Colombia. "The boat, with way too many people aboard, was unable to resist a strong...

    Babalu blog's Val Prieto, who was profiled recently on the front page of the Miami Herald as a brilliant new voice of the often-dismissed Cuban-American community, has a striking update about the Elian Gonzalez case. Back in 2000, the rescue of the 6-year-old Cuban refugee by fishermen off the coast of Florida triggered a three-way tug-of-war between Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, the cowardly Clinton Administration, and the Cuban-American community over custody of the child. The Clinton administration resolved the question with a savage pre-dawn raid, grabbing the terrified child at gunpoint from his Miami relatives and delivering him straight to...

(AP) - A small boat carrying six people home from a family outing capsized in Mount Hope Bay during the night, the Coast Guard reported. Three people died, and one was missing.

Christopher's father, Allen Duarte, 35, was rescued and hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said. Police...
