VIDEOIt's as if the Harlem Globetrotters played a shutout game with the Washington Generals but it was the Globetrotters who were shutout. The look on the Harlem Globetrotter's face is priceless. Oh, and "Fast Eddie" is really Pawel "DAZZLE" "Kid" Kidon who hustled his way onto the Globetrotter's team (#48) when they were visiting Poland.

A Democrat candidate for state Senate in Virginia appears to have been raising money for a “good cause” by performing graphic sex acts online, where she told viewers she liked “being choked” and said they could watch her urinate for the right price, according to material reviewed by The Daily Wire. Susanna Gibson, who is running for a seat in the narrowly divided Virginia statehouse, was as recently as last year posting as “HotWifeExperience” on the website Chaturbate, where men could pay tokens to get her to perform specific sex acts. In one video recorded shortly after she launched her...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has firmly dug in on refusing GOP help to renew the US's ability to pay off its bills, known as the debt ceiling. Instead, the Kentucky Republican said it's up to Democrats to raise it in order to finance their social spending plans on healthcare, education, and childcare. He insists he's not "bluffing." But the conundrum could have a coin-sized solution. A loophole in the law that prescribes the types of coins that can legally be minted in the US theoretically allows the Treasury Department to mint a $1 trillion platinum coin, deposit it at...

Like you need another reason to play with your pet…but here is a fun challenge that is taking social media by storm. It is surpassing the “what the fluff” challenge. The “snoot challenge” is simple but so much fun. Videos of pet owners worldwide are popping up with adorable pets putting their noses through the shapes their owners make with their hands. A little trick is to teach your pet the “touch” command or bribe them with a treat.

A famous optical illusion; An old woman in profile or a young woman looking away? Our minds play tricks. I invite others to share illusions. This site has 25 more optical illusions but you have to tolerate adds. I post this because an Australian team says your age predisposes which you will see first. Hillary has illusions of adequacy but let's just that old hag.

"For those who don’t remember it, Journolist was just a listserv created by Ezra Klein. The list was invitation only and was mostly made up of progressive journalists. In theory, the list was a kind of digital water cooler where like-minded people could talk to others in the field. That may have been all it was much of the time, but when candidate Obama got in trouble in 2008, it also became a place for partisans to discuss a coordinated media strategy." When Kevin Drum (Mother Jones) argued that wasn’t the kind of campaign Obama wanted to run, Ackerman replied,...

Full headline: "WikiLeaks Emails Allegedly Show Clinton Campaign Consultant Considering 'Swift Boat'-Style Attack on Donald Trump" “I know you can’t look past Bernie and March primaries -- but who is in charge of the Trump swift boat project? Needs to be ready, funded and unleashed when we decide -- not a half assed scramble,” one of the campaign’s consultants, Joel Johnson, purportedly wrote to Clinton’s Communications Director Jen Palmieri in February of this year. “Gee. Thanks, Joel. We thought we could half-ass it,” Palmieri purportedly replied, sarcastically

What we are witnessing is a theme based narrative taken right out of Tricky Dick's play book , except the MSM NOW averts their gaze. Last weekend it was that gutter child fat girl "Miss Universe" who had the credibility of a porno queen. After she was "exposed" ( and I use that in the literal sense") , we saw the actual footage of Donald being very nice with her !! the Dirty Trick failed. Trump surged in Pennsylvania and Virginia. So they reach down to the absolute bottom of the barrel and pull out a decade old illegally recorded...

Yob, his wife Erica and LIndsey Eilon were all selected to be unbound delegates to the 2016 Republican Party convention. That gives them power to vote for whoever they like on the floor.

Ted Cruz likes to say “personnel is policy” but the single most important personnel decision he’s made on the 2016 presidential campaign has become his most controversial. Cruz has carefully built his brand on trustworthiness — he stands almost daily in front of signs that read “TrusTED” — but in selecting his campaign manager, Cruz tapped a take-no-prisoners operative well practiced in political dark arts. Those who have crossed Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, say things like he’s “mean” and a “master of sleazy politics.” He’s also an indisputably talented tactician who has guided Cruz from an asterisk early in...

Last week nasty anti-Trump robocalls started running in South Carolina. Donald Trump accused the Cruz camp of being behind the calls.Of course, Senator Cruz denied having anything to do with the ads. But it was a lie. And now there is proof that a Cruz PAC is behind the nasty anti-Trump and anti-Rubio robocalls.The Washington Post reported: Natalie Barrett, a 53-year-old schoolteacher from Westminster, got a robo-call earlier this month and ended up furious. It started off simple enough, an automated man’s voice asking her age and gender, then quizzing her on which Republican candidates she liked. But when she...

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson smiles at the thought of the money he’s raking in from the gullible and the attention he’s getting from Donald Trump and Joe Scaroborough (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik — caption by me.) If yesterday’s assertion by Ben Carson that he was putting a lot of effort into campaigning in South Carolina (he’s not, he is taking this weekend off and has only run 182 radio/television ads, all of them in Columbia, SC.) and that he has a plan for moving forward convinced you he was either delusional or dishonest, the balance has radically tipped to...

Jeff Roe, Cruz's campaign manager, pulled the exact same dirty trick with another candidate a few years ago. "An e-mail sent to news media outlets and a "tweet" issued by a fake Twitter account announced that Eckersley had suspended his campaign due to personal reasons. Eckersley blames his opponent, Republican Billy Long, for sending out the hoax days before the election, "You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe style management. That's who Billy's retained. That's who he writes the big checks to," Eckersley tells Missourinet affiliate KTTS. http://www.missourinet.com/2010/10/29/eckersley-calls-e-mail-a-hoax-says-hes-still-in-the-race-audio/

I've seen some bike tricks, but not like this. Although the music needs to change. It's depressing.

Two kayakers adrift in Jamaica Bay with just one paddle unwittingly breached Kennedy Airport’s $300 million perimeter detection system. They could have been spotted by a boat patrol — except there wasn’t one. Port Authority boats don’t patrol the bay at night, police sources said.

Lexi was rescued in 2009 from the SPCA and was severely underweight, had no hair around her neck and some behavioural issues. Now, four years later, it’s incredible to see how far Lexi has come. Watch as Lexi shows off some amazing tricks she’s learnt in the care of her owner, Katerina Jansen. Katerina told Storyful: “She loves to balance on anything and loves to jump into her owners arms from the ground or high up.”

You're on the trading floor, trying to price out if a 15-year bond issued by General Electric will generate the returns needed to placate your investors. Bad news, your calculator is dead and the trader from Cantor Fitzgerald is readying to signal his buy. What to do? Well, if all you need to do is double the investment in five-years, you're in luck. That's probably not the case, and GE probably isn't issuing 15-year debt. But we compiled a list of six math tricks that might just come in handy. If you have a math trick you'd like us to...

The number of Chinese students in American colleges has tripled in the last three years. Unfortunately, most colleges don't know what they are getting into. According to New York Times many of these students are arriving with barely passable English, despite dominating the SATs and having impeccable applications. The secret to getting into college for a Chinese person is paying the right agency. About 80 percent of Chinese applicants use such agents according to a report by Zinch Group. Aoji Education Group, for example, offers parents a package complete with money-back guarantee if you don't get into one of the...
