#BlackLivesMatter leader “King Noble” made national headlines about a week ago, after calling for “open season on crackers and cops” in a video rant uploaded to YouTube. Gloating about the execution of the deputy in Houston, he made it clear that this was just the beginning of violence on whites by his group, promising to America that “it’s about to go down.” Before Noble's website was removed...Noble created a meme to help spread his hate-filled propaganda, using the images of NFL stars Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch to create a meme with a caption that read, “when are we gon...

Often on my day off, before a morning motorcycle ride in the mountains, I treat myself to breakfast at a Southern American institution: Waffle House. Waffle Houses are not luxurious. The box-like buildings are designed for cheerful efficiency, and cheerfully efficient they are. As soon as you walk through the door the staff call out a cheerful, “Good morning!” The pleasantries continue as you are seated and a drink is immediately placed before you. A moment later the waitress is ready to advise you or take your order. She’s well groomed, clean and friendly. She’s talkative without being a bore...

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson responded to fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s accusations regarding his faith and positions on abortion in an interview broadcast on Friday’s edition of CNN’s “Situation Room.” Carson said, “it’s very easy for anybody to go back and investigate my past. And it’s very easy for them to see that, you know, my faith is not something that I come by lightly, and it has been an important part of my life. You know, fortunately I’ve written books, you know, ‘Gifted Hands’ came out in 1990. Read through that, you’ll see that faith has...

A US amusement park that has a record number of thrilling rides has revealed plans for the tallest, fastest and longest dive roller coaster in the world. The ride called Valravn (val-rey-vuhn), at Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio, promises to be a terrifying experience, as daredevil passengers will free fall a record 214ft at a 90-degree angle and top speed of 75mph. With stomach-churning twists and turns, Valravn will set 10 world records when it debuts in the summer of 2016 at the theme park on a Lake Erie peninsula. (Full story and CGI video at link...)

I seldom listen to Glenn Beck anymore. When I do it's while driving between places. I'll turn him on and invariably, he'll be selling gold, emergency food rations, (I guess he's never heard of bottled water and canned food) or inside joking with his cohorts. Occasionally, his dry drunk surfaces like it did yesterday, when out of the blue, he calls Sarah Palin, "A Clown" because of the speech she gave at the Iran Nuclear rally and that she supports Trump. Then today, he increased his rhetoric on Trump referring to his speech at the Iran Nuclear rally a "Clown...

UNITED NATIONS — The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution Thursday allowing the Palestinians and the Holy See to raise their flags at UN headquarters — a symbolic step pursued by the Palestinians in their quest for an independent state. Israel strongly objected to the proposal and joined seven other countries, including Canada and the United States, in voting “no”; 119 nations voted “yes” and 45 abstained. The resolution allows non-member observer states to raise their flags alongside those of the 193 UN member states. The Palestinians and the Vatican are the only two observers, but the Holy See...

Country singer Trace Adkins wrote this song a couple days after the attacks. He doesn't perform it live except on the anniversary of 9/11. It happened that the anniversary fell in 2010 while he was doing a concert in Bristow, VA at the Jiffy Lube Center. This was the final song that evening. It was recorded by an audience member, so it's not studio quality, but it's good enough. Enjoy.Welcome to Hell-LIVE 2010

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats voted to uphold the hard-fought nuclear accord with Iran on Thursday, overcoming ferocious GOP opposition and delivering President Barack Obama a legacy-making victory on his top foreign policy priority.

I recently committed automotive heresy for a car guy: I bought a Toyota Prius.

"The Alternative" is designed to give officers a less lethal option in the form of a clip-on "air bag" for semiautomatic pistols that reduces the velocity of a standard round to make it less lethal.

I'm not saying that we have a theocracy or should have one, nor am I saying that if someone messes up from time to time in their choice of words or choices in life that this means they are automatically not a Christian or aren't seeking to follow the Bible to the best of their ability. Nor should anyone use yet another Straw Man (that I have to knock down before they are lobbed onto this thread) and say that "At least this person isn't Obama." Being anti-PC is often a good thing, for it can remove the endless quibbling,...

I am not incompetent. I am destroying America faster than anyone thought possible. I am not in-over-my-head. I am advancing totalitarianism right under your noses. I am not stupid. The stupid are those who fail to see the danger I bring. I am not failing. I am succeeding at every goal I have set. I am embracing your enemies and rejecting your friends. I am acting lawlessly and unconstitutionally. I am ignoring your Constitution. I am disobeying your laws. Your media is abetting me. Your Congress is not stopping me. Those sworn to defend the Constitution are not removing me....

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday mocked CNN morning host Chris Cuomo for having low ratings, just seconds after Cuomo asked why Trump is always insulting everyone. Trump was on CNN's "New Day" on Thursday, answering questions about the disparaging remarks he made about his GOP rival Carly Fiorina and responding to Ben Carson, another candidate who questioned Trump's religious faith. "All I'm saying is that you are the front-runner," Cuomo said. "You say that you're going to be president of the United States. There is a manner of behavior that goes with that. I'm not saying be Mr....

The captain made an announcement about the special retirement of this airplane: “You are part of history tonight, this is the very last flight of this airplane, which was the first 747-400 ever built. It has carried millions of passengers millions of miles since its delivery in 1989″

Glenn Beck is having an absolute hissy on the radio right now. In epic meltdown, he is literally rambling and mad at the world. The In the course of the first 45 minutes in the program we've learned that: - Sarah Palin is a clown - Trump supporters are no different than Obama supporters in 2008/2012 -Don Lemon on the other hand, is an honest guy trying to do the right thing -Ted Cruz is in Donald Trump's hip pocket I honestly thought at one point he was going to scream "STOP LIKING SOMEONE I DON'T LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!". It seems ironic...

WASHINGTON – The last minutes of Jose Santos Amaya Guardado’s young life were hell. The 17-year-old was lured into the woods by three of his classmates at the federally funded Homestead Job Corps in Florida. Outside the live-in vocational school, the students pulled out a machete, police say, and began to hack away at him. As he lay in a pool of his own blood, the attackers threw him in a shallow grave and set him on fire, authorities say. Accused ringleader Kaheem Arbelo, 20, allegedly marked the moment by having sex in the woods with student Desiray Strickland, 18....

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump met again with Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the leader on immigration reform, symbolically underlining the candidate’s determination to shake off cheap-labor advocates in the Democratic Party and business groups. “The Senator has just been amazing on the issue,” Trump told reporters as he met with Sessions, shortly after Trump had spoken at a rally against President Barack Obama’s Iran deal. The two met on the Capitol steps and walked inside for a confidential, unannounced meeting.

DENVER -- A man charged with pushing his wife to her death off a cliff as they hiked in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park struggled to explain to investigators why he had a park map with an "X" drawn at the spot where she fell. Harold Henthorn, 59, had been mostly calm in describing the deadly Sept. 29, 2012, hike until he was asked about the map, park Ranger Mark Faherty testified as Henthorn's federal trial opened Tuesday. A grand jury indicted Henthorn on a first-degree murder charge in the death of his second wife, Toni Henthorn, 50, who plummeted...

In the era of social media and dating apps, the old battle over who pays on a first date still lingers on. In 2015, the answer to that question isn't simple.
