BENNINGTON, VT -- Police say four people TRIED to steal the GIANT pepper atop a Chili's restaurant in Vermont. Police say the four ran 470 feet of EXTENSION CORD across a FOUR-LANE ROAD to power a drill. "They really didn't plan it," said Sgt. Camillo Grande. An Alarm went off about 4:30 a.m. Police found the man on the roof and the three women they said were lookouts. (A NOTE from the content czar: If you were wondering, YES, I often carry around that much extension cord with me and if it happens to go across a four lane road and attach itself to a drill.. It wasn't planned!)
Albertville, AL -- A 37 year old Alabama mom has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Police say she let her daughter RIDE in a cardboard box ON TOP of the van as she went down a State Highway. The police were called when people reported the child sitting on top of the van. The police arrested her. When she was asked about the incident, she said the BOX was too big to fit inside the van, and that her daughter was holding it down. The woman also told the Police Officers that it was SAFE because she had used a cloths hanger to secure the box to the van. Her 13 year old daughter was unharmed and turned over to relatives. A jail worker said the mother was out on bond by Monday.

Los Angeles -- Explosives and a marijuana farm were discovered at a Southern California home that doubled as a licensed day care center. After the man blew off four of his fingers authorities said that Benjamin Kuzelka, 23 went to the Loma Linda Medical Center and told the doctors that he had shot himself in the hand. The Doctors, however, became suspicious because his injuries did not look consistent with a gunshot wound. Investigators were sent to the home and when they arrived they found a sophisticated marijuana-growing facility and evidence of explosives. Furthermore, the home had been used as recently as the day before as a state-licensed child care facility. This led the to arrest of his mother Rebecca Kuzelka, 55 and his brother Greg Kuzelka, 21. Benjamin Kuzelka was arrested upon discharge from the hospital.
I have some friends and family who supported President Trump from early on in the process. From time to time they will ask me when I will admit that I was wrong about him. "If Trump does x... If Trump gets y... If Trump supports a policy that results in z... will you admit that you were wrong?" My answer is always "no", because I wasn't wrong. To be clear, I could be wrong in practical application, but that isn't what an election is about. Elections are about theory and speculation and, generally speaking about judging records. Trump had no record to speak of, and his history of stances on issues was all over the map. I opposed his candidacy for several major reasons, all of which are proven valid in this single issue we now refer to as the "travel ban". Here were my reasons.
If you're not familiar with Justice with Judge Jeanine, it is a show on the FOX News Network starring Jeanine Pirro. She is known for her over-the-top rants where she serves up gobs of fresh red meat for her largely hard right wing audience. While it's not unusual for her to be a little fast and loose with the facts, she has been known to occasionally return from the break with a correction from her producers. Last night, however, there was no such correction to an outright lie she told on the show, and the matter being discussed should have (at the very least) contained a disclaimer from the host. I would cut her some slack, but as a former prosecutor and judge, she should be well aware of what proper protocol should have been here.
It's not cute anymore, Republicans. The President of the United States is completely detached from reality, and you can't fix that. You can't cover it up, you can't explain it away, and let me make this as clear as I possibly can for you. You cannot possibly undo the damage you are doing to the party brand by trying to pretend this man is anything other than completely unhinged. I'm watching Sean Hannity borrow guests from the Alex Jones show in an attempt to bolster Trump's conspiratorial claims. I'm seeing relatively mainstream conservatives make themselves look like the crazed fringes of the paranoid right wing. Don't believe me? Look at this.
