President Trump on Thursday encouraged Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son amid growing concerns over how Trump has used his position to pressure foreign governments to look into his political rivals. “I would think that if they were honest about it they’d start a major investigation into the Bidens,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked what he wanted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to do about the Bidens following the July 25 call between the two leaders. The call triggered an intelligence community whistleblower complaint and is at the heart of...

The passenger in the pick-up truck got out, took out a weapon and announced a robbery, but the suspects fled when they realized they were trying to rob a police officer, who was wearing civilian clothes. No one was injured. No one is in custody and Area Central detectives are investigating

In a case of wanting justice, a man wiped out his son's inheritance for his quest to win a legal battle. For a $100 speeding ticket, Richard Keedwell spent $30,000. Yes, that amount for a speeding ticket case that could've been solved by paying it. His battle for justice started at what he claims is a speed camera's disfunction, causing it to clock him traveling 35mph in a 30mph zone in Worcester. This took place three years ago and that is how long the court case went on. Instead of paying the speeding ticket, he instead challenged the fine and...

VIDEO Once again, Kamala Harris has proved herself to be an absolutely HORRIBLE candidate. At a recent New Hampshire campaign even Harris responded to a man in the audience who described President Trump's actions as "mentally retarded" by laughing and saying "Well said!" a couple of times. Later she laughably denied hearing his comments despite her reaction to them. She also went on up on a soapbox and condoned that type of language even though she obviously condoned it with her own response. Note: My running commentary on these clips provides added value thus constituting fair use plus I've...

Vulnerable spadefoot tadpoles eat their smaller competitors to speed towards toadhood as quickly as possible. Gulls and pelicans are among bird species that eat hatchlings for food or to prevent the spread of disease. In insect species such as the praying mantis or the Australian redback spider, males offer their bodies as a final gift to females after mating. It's more common than you'd think in mammals too. Many rodent mothers may eat some of their young if they're sick, dead, or too numerous to feed. Bears and lions kill and eat the offspring of adult females to make them...

Edward Mosberg, a Holocaust survivor who extended an invitation to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tour the concentration camps in Germany with him - the real concentration camps, not the ones the socialist freshman congresswoman claimed were at America’s borders - has now shrugged off her refusal and instead called out her “stupidity” and demanded her ouster from Congress. The guy is 93 years old. If anyone would know “stupidity” when he sees it, he would. The background: AOC, in wildly ridiculous comments, called out President Donald Trump’s border detention policies for illegals - essentially the same set in place by...

In a series of tweets early Tuesday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced that he has ordered the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars to encourage Nike to add a manufacturing plant in the Valley.Nike has planned a massive shoe manufacturing plant in Goodyear, with an initial investment of $184.5 million. The plant would create over 500 full-time jobs.

A while back, a Freeper posted what I would call a photographic compilation of Michael and Barry before his transition to Michelle, along with the contemporary "package" pictures. The post was in a thread, the subject of which I cannot recall. Also, there were some pictures of "their" daughters and the similarity in appearance to a couple close to the Obamas. The material was great for showing the fraud of Barry and Michael. If anyone happens to remember this post or has the material, could you send me the link?

Actress Amber Tamblyn has claimed that the recent allegations of sexual assault and harassment against Harvey Weinstein would not have surfaced if Hillary Clinton had been elected last year. The 34-year-old star, who is very outspoken on the issue of sexual harassment, recently spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about how things have changed in Hollywood since Donald Trump was elected president. Amber argued that there has been a silver lining in living under the Trump administration, claiming that women are now feeling more free to speak out in cases of abuse. 'I think that without him being elected, if it had been...

Rep. Maxine Waters — the California Democrat who is one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal and prominent haters — will be dining on a plate full of crow this weekend after her prediction that the president was bluffing on his threat of Mexico tariffs backfired in spectacular fashion. All eyes were on the president the past few days as everyone waited to see what would happen regarding his threat to impose a 5 percent tariff on Mexico. One set of those eyes belonged to Waters, who tweeted Friday morning that “Dictator Trump” wouldn’t follow through on his threat. “Spineless...

The College Board plans to introduce an “adversity score” that will accompany an applicant’s SAT score in order to give college-admissions officers greater insight into how the applicant’s social and economic privilege may have contributed to their academic performance. The adversity score, which will be made available to colleges but not the students themselves, will reflect 15 different factors including the crime rate and average income level in a student’s neighborhood, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The new metric is currently being used by 50 colleges and will likely expand to 150 schools this fall. “There are a number...

A Chinese live-streamer recently demonstrated to us all the dangers of attempting to eat a live octopus. The woman from the Jiangsu city of Lianyungang is a lover of seafood and decided to demonstrate this affinity through an odd challenge involving devouring a cephalopod while it’s still alive. However, in this case, her meal wasn’t about to go down so easy.

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said Sunday that President Trump would likely be indicted on obstruction of justice if he were not president. “I’ve been a prosecutor for nearly 30 years and I can tell you I’ve personally prosecuted obstruction cases on far, far less evidence than this," Yates, whom Trump fired after she refused to defend his travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries, said on NBC's "Meet the Press." “I believe if he were not the president of the United States he would likely be indicted on obstruction.” Yates's comments come a few weeks after the redacted report...

California State University's campus in Long Beach is ditching its longtime mascot amid accusations of racism and officially moving to pick either a new symbol or have no mascot at all. The university ditched its "Prospector Pete" character in September after criticism that it was offensive to indigenous people.

Think about what happened here, about what is described in that report. The country’s elections were attacked by a foreign power. Russia is a vote suppressor. Understanding that,what motivation would this President have to move a finger to stop them? Or the Republican Party, for that matter? Theonly hope for accountability, perhaps before a court of law after Trump isno longer President, is theDemocratic Party that has the power to start impeachment proceedings. Should Democrats take impeachment off thetable, they would let Trump get away with it. It is that elementary. There is no guarantee that he will not repeat...

Minnesota police know a thing or two about snow, and they’d like you to know you should clean it off your car before you hit the road or it hits another vehicle. The Minnesota State Patrol tweeted a photo of a car that got pulled over recently for being almost entirely covered in snow, save for a small square of the windshield in front of the driver and the driver’s door window. “Don’t be this person when it snows. Please. Please. Please. A trooper stopped this car Feb. 14 in Elk River. Yes, they were cited. Sure, maybe the snow...

Former Trump campaign staffer Alva Johnson joined All In With Chris Hayes Tuesday night where she spoke about the lawsuit she filed against Donald Trump on Monday. In the lawsuit, Johnson alleges that Trump kissed her without consent before a campaign event in August of 2016, and that she was grossly underpaid while working on the campaign. Of the unwanted kiss, Johnson said she’d given Trump words of encouragement before the event and after a brief exchange he went in for a kiss.
