Responding officers met with mall security, who had two people in custody.

FULL TITLE........Donald Trump DOES have his finger on the red button... to order Coca Cola from a White House butler straight from his Oval Office desk.........................While many across the world are nervous at the prospect of President Donald Trump pressing a big red button in his office, it has emerged he does this on a daily basis. A rectangular box on his desk, containing the button, has long been used by commanders-in-chief to communicate with White House staffers. And it has now turned out that Trump uses it to order glasses of Coca-Cola, delivered by a butler.

It amazes me that someone who can afford to drive around in such an expensive Lexus four wheel drive car can actually be claiming food stamps. She does say at one stage in the video that it would be impossible for anyone to tell whose food stamps she was actually using, her grandmother's etc.

One of the unexpected side effects of Obama’s socialized medicine plan could be the state claiming the right to determine what you can eat or drink. When your good health becomes a matter of fiscal policy, you can predict the “fat police” stepping into your life, regulating nutrition as they see fit, and it appears early salvos in that battle are now sounding in Illinois. Murmurs from “public interest groups” located in the Land of Lincoln are suggesting a mandatory state tax on sugary soft drinks that could potentially raise the price of high calorie sodas by one or two...

Two cans of fizzy drink a day could cause long term liver damage, resulting in the need for a transplant, according to new research. Researchers are now urging parents to cut back on their children’s consumption of fizzy drinks as well as reducing fresh fruit juices substituting them for water.

You drink diet soda, so you must be healthier. Right? That's what New York Gov. David Paterson is talking about with his proposal for an "obesity tax" — a 15 percent slap on non-diet sugary soft drinks. Think $1 for a Diet Coke, $1.15 for a Coke. There's just one problem: Studies have found links between drinking diet sodas and obesity and diabetes. A 2005 study at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, and separate studies released in 2007 at the University of Alberta in Canada and the University of Massachusetts found that diet soda drinkers were...

Please pay close attention because we’re going to be discussing numbers, and I happen to know that most of you are lousy at math. In 1933, a movie ticket cost a quarter, a hamburger was a dime, and a soda pop was a nickel. Assuming you actually had a dollar in 1933, you could go out on a date for a dollar and come home with change. In 1936, a gallon of gas cost 21 cents. A year later, my dad bought a new Plymouth sedan for less than $800. In 1946, it was the car he was still driving...
