Ohio School Shooting Leaves One Hospitalized, Shooter Arrested America’s new POTUS has a LOT of work to do to “ Make America Great Again ” and this tragedy at West Liberty High School in Ohio is prime example of that… According to CBSNews : A male student who was shot and wounded at an Ohio school was hospitalized Friday, and another student suspected in the shooting was in custody, officials said. The shooting happened at West Liberty High School, located on an education complex about 45 miles northwest of Columbus that houses both high school and elementary students, reports CBS affiliate WBNS. West Liberty-Salem Local School District Superintendent Kraig Hissong said the shooting occurred just as classes were getting underway. Local media said initial reports indicated that someone was shot through a window of a boys restroom in the high school. The shooting occurred on the school’s campus, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether it happened outside or inside a building, deputies told CBS News. Part of America being great is making sure that children can go to school and not get shot. Godspeed. Image via Shutterstock

At this point, it’s nearly impossible to be surprised by anything Donald Trump says or does. He recently shot down claims that he watched two prostitutes urinate on each other because he’s a germophobe , for example. But while many have come to expect the ridiculous, the false and the infuriating from Trump, they remain peeved and perplexed when faced with everything that surrounds Donald Trump. Like how quiet Republican lawmakers were when Trump slammed Civil Rights icon John Lewis? Sure. But let’s focus more for a moment on how Spencer’s Gifts has chosen to profit off the Trump Presidency. A store known for selling novelty items, Spencer’s may finally have gone too far. Because while a coffee mug that reads “Coffee Makes Me [Poop Emoji]” may be humorous, most sane-minded individuals out there find nothing funny about the following shirts currently on the market: “In case anyone still needed a reason to never walk into a @Spencers again, this is proudly being displayed in the front of their PDX store,” wrote Twitter Mary Numair last week. Yes, the store is actually selling a shirt based on Trump’s admission that he often just grabs women by the pussy , an admission he made on tape back in 2005 when speaking to Billy Bush. Most folks interpreted this remark as an example of sexual assault. But Spencer’s sees it as a marketing opportunity. “He’s done it again,” the official description of this piece of attire reads online. “The Donald grabbed America by the pu$$y this election, now you can too with this hilarious political tee! This laugh out loud Spencer’s exclusive shirt is perfect for reminding everyone that Trump’s in charge.” The item is currently sold-out on the Spencer’s website. Trump will take the oath of office on January 20 with the lowest approval rating of any incoming President in modern political history. But the online reaction to these shirts may be even harsher than the reaction of those who don’t want him to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Focusing specifically on the “Grab America by the Pussy” top, one Twitter user summed up our feelings perfectly. “This tee shouldn’t have made it past the pitch room, @Spencers,” he wrote. “Not a matter of being offended; it’s elevating sex assault as patriotism.” “Sexual assault is not patriotism, @Spencers. It’s not a joke or a slogan. For too many, it’s a lived experience of violation & violence,” wrote another irate American. Some are calling for a boycott of Spencer’s in light of these offensive shirts. Do you think this is the right move? Do you think people have a right to be angry over these items? Or is it all in good fun? And where do these shirts rank in the history of crude articles of clothing? It may surprise you (or it may not surprise you at all), but retailers have gotten in trouble numerous times over the years for similarly offensive piece of attire.

I have not been a huge fan of Margot Robbie. I get that she was hot in Wolf of Wall Street, but there are a lot of hot girls in the world, and she wasn’t even that hot…at least not hot enough to generate this career she’s pulled off.. Not to mention, since Wolf of Wall Street, she’s been not very hot in anything she does, yet she’s getting this crazy high paying roles. A fucking Australian – taking your damn jobs – playing the hot chick – when she’s not even that hot.. Who’s fucking dick did she suck to created that situation… We’ve seen her in the paparazzi in her bikinis, we’ve seen her in photoshoots, we’ve probably seen her naked somewhere – or maybe that was just Wolf of Wall Street…and now she’s in a role more fitting for her married, overrated ass.. Tonya Harding… Pictures from set…are about as hot as you’d expect them to be…more importantly – they are as hot as Margot Robbie is in everything but Wolf of Wall Street.. I don’t get it, but I do find these pics hilarious and sometimes laughter is a good thing…it outweighs hot…which is a good thing for these mom jeans… VIA Click Here The post Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding is the Least Erotic thing You’ll See Ever appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Circus Owners Announce Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close In May After 146 years, “The Greatest Show on Earth” will come to a close this May. The owners of The owner of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus told The Associated Press the decision to close was due to a number of factors, including dwindling attendance, operating costs and ongoing issues with animal rights groups. “There isn’t any one thing,” said Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment. “This has been a very difficult decision for me and for the entire family.” The company broke the news to circus employees Saturday night after shows in Orlando and Miami. Ringling Bros. has two touring circuses this season and will perform 30 shows between now and May. Major stops include Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn. The final shows will be in Providence, Rhode Island, on May 7 and in Uniondale, New York, at the Nassau County Coliseum on May 21. The circus, with its exotic animals, flashy costumes and death-defying acrobats, has been a staple of entertainment in the United States since the mid-1800s. Phineas Taylor Barnum made a traveling spectacle of animals and human oddities popular, while the five Ringling brothers performed juggling acts and skits from their home base in Wisconsin. Eventually, they merged and the modern circus was born. The sprawling troupes traveled around America by train, wowing audiences with the sheer scale of entertainment and exotic animals. “The competitor in many ways is time,” said Feld, adding that transporting the show by rail and other circus quirks — such as providing a traveling school for performers’ children— are throwbacks to another era. “It’s a different model that we can’t see how it works in today’s world to justify and maintain an affordable ticket price. So you’ve got all these things working against it.” Hard times for real… This is sad for so many reasons, but the silver lining is that the animals can look forward to retirement. “After 36 years of PETA protests, which have awoken the world to the plight of animals in captivity, PETA heralds the end of what has been the saddest show on earth for wild animals, and asks all other animal circuses to follow suit, as this is a sign of changing times,” Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wrote in a statement. Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, acknowledged the move was “bittersweet” for the Felds but said: “I applaud their decision to move away from an institution grounded on inherently inhumane wild animal acts.” The Felds say their existing animals — lions, tigers, camels, donkeys, alpacas, kangaroos and llamas — will go to suitable homes. Juliette Feld says the company will continue operating the Center for Elephant Conservation. We are so sad for the clowns but also happy for the elephants. How do you feel about this news? Will you and the family be making a final visit to the circus before May? Instagram
The Audacity Of Orange: Donald Trump Tweets Badly About John Lewis This has gotten out of control… If you saw the film “Selma” you probably will remember watching a young John Lewis on the screen, living out his legacy as a Civil Rights leader who walked beside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Lewis, as pointed out by Goldie Taylor of The Daily Beast , “was president of the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee (SNCC) and is the youngest and only living member of “The Big Six.” Lewis was one of the original 13 Freedom Riders, young people who risked their lives to challenge racial segregation in the South. He was arrested 45 times, beaten and bloodied in the name of human rights. Lewis became a congressman who represents Georgia’s 5th Congressional District… But Friday he told Meet the Press” he will miss his first Presidential inauguration in 30 years in Congress because he doesn’t feel that Donald Trump is a legitimate President. Of course Lewis’ comments didn’t sit well with Trump who struck out (where else?) on Twitter. Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to…… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017 mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017 Hours later Trump added to his rant: Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017 If we thought he was an idiot before our opinion is now even lower. Lewis is a national hero who was beaten bloody for our freedoms. He sacrificed a lot in the name of progress, facing arrest some 45 times. Don’t be misled by Trump’s tweets. While crime and poverty rates are above the national average, the area is neither “crime infested” nor falling apart. It’s actually thriving — home to the upscale Buckhead neighborhood, several Fortune 500 companies — including Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines — as well as Emory University, Georgia Tech, Spelman, Morehouse and Atlanta’s airport. And as for Trump’s assertion that Lewis is all talk and no action is PURE HOGWASH… Also via Daily Beast : In 1994, when the country was caught up in hysteria and pushed a crime bill that later destroyed whole communities, John Lewis was one of only eleven black members of the House to stand against it. One of the “results” of Lewis’ activism was the Fair Housing Act, the very legislation under which the Justice Department sued Donald Trump and his father. SMH — can it get any realer than that? It is unfortunate that it is easy to believe that @realDonaldTrump would've have been proudly standing against John Lewis then as he is now pic.twitter.com/DSDzy0xduz — Khary Penebaker (@kharyp) January 14, 2017 There has been a huge wave of outrage on social media over Trump’s latest attack but we thought the tweet above said it all. Lewis has fought for what he believes is right his entire career, why should he be expected to stop because Trump was elected. In the meantime the NY Daily News is reporting that Trump has canceled an MLK day visit to Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture over scheduling issues. You may recall President Obama urged Trump to visit the museum after he said during the presidential campaign that there has “never been a worse time to be a black person” in America… Clearly Trump needs to brush up on his American history.

Amazon And Online Grocers Will Accept Food Stamps Online grocers such as Amazon Fresh and FreshDirect will soon be accepting food stamps to help combat food deserts in America’s poorest communities reports Mashable . The pilot program was created by U.S. Department of Agriculture to help struggling Americans… “Online purchasing is a potential lifeline for SNAP participants living in urban neighborhoods and rural communities where access to healthy food choices can be limited,” USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement. “We’re looking forward to being able to bring the benefits of the online market to low-income Americans participating in SNAP.” Outside of government partnerships, Amazon has recently been experimenting with grocery shopping in a major way. The tech giant’s plan for grocery stores that would not employ cashiers and that would require a smartphone for entry brought up concerns about excluding low-income customers and contributing to inequality. What do you think of the new program? Sound off in the comment section below.
Salma Hayek may be old, washed up, boring….because she’s rich and has made it in America as a Mexican import who barely speaks english, unless that’s just part of her act, you know to get all the Mexican roles…she’s probably from New Jersey and this is all lies where she milks being a Mexican you want to milk, and wish was illegally working in your house cleaning and taking care of your kids for a dollar a day – so that you can Arnold Schwarzenegger her – but realize it’s a fantasy – because she’s not an illegal…and more importantly…because you don’t have a dollar a day to pay her if she was…sadness… But she’s still Salma Hayek…and that’s all I have to say about that..
