Maybe this was posted here already but this is absolutely hilarious. Video: Donald Trump has trolled Joe Biden with a spoof ad depicting the White House as a “senior living” establishment where “residents feel like presidents”. The mock TV commercial uploaded on Trump’s Instagram page clipped together awkward shots of the current president at the beach and eating food, ending with him taking a huge bite from an ice cream. The 30-second clip includes a soft-spoken narrator advertising “delightful activities and outings” and “exquisite housemade meals” over clips of Biden. The trolling video also includes a clip that circulated in...

It was the free soft drink at Whataburger that got Melvin Schwartz hooked. Then he learned Chick-fil-A does it, too. “I hate spending $2 or $3 on a Coke,” said the 75-year-old retired IRS agent, whose senior discount also earns him 10 percent off his usual Hungr-Buster combo at Dairy Queen and nacho salad at Taco Bueno near his Dallas home. Senior discounts have been around for decades. Now, they’re having a moment. Reviewer mentions of “senior discount” soared 36 percent from 2021 to 2022, according to data from crowdsourced review site Yelp. And AARP says a growing number of...

With a boss like this… Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would regularly lash out at his senior staff — and once told a top aide, “You’re lucky that I don’t throw you out the window,” according to one of his accusers. Brittany Commisso — whose groping allegation led to criminal charges being filed against Cuomo last month — described the then-gov’s infamous short fuse to outside lawyers probing the sexual misconduct claims against him. “He would go from zero to 60 in .2 seconds depending on the situation,” Commisso said during a May 17 deposition, the transcript of which was released...

Fox News has quietly parted ways with longtime legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, months after the former judge was accused by two men of sexual assault. In a statement responding to a new lawsuit filed against the network by a former Fox Business employee, Fox revealed it had “parted ways” with Napolitano. The new lawsuit from a Fox News employee comes months after a South Carolina man named named Charles Corbishley filed a $10-million lawsuit in September 2020 against Napolitano, alleging that he sexual assaulted him in 1987 when Corbishley was a criminal defendant and Napolitano was the judge overseeing his...

#1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice. #2 - “In Style” are the clothes that still fit. #3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off. #4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work. #5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that down.

Note from management: The fact that Jacob Blake’s father appears to have a long history of bigoted social media posts has no bearing on questions surrounding his son’s shooting by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Nevertheless, since former Vice President Joe Biden has decided to meet with him on Thursday during a visit to the town, his extremist views are newsworthy. Jacob Blake Sr., the father of the man shot Aug. 23 by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, appears to have a long history of racist, antisemitic, and anti-Christian posts on Facebook. He is set to meet with Democratic Party presidential nominee...

Video Linky Here YORK, SC -- A senior citizen was shot during a traffic stop when a police officer stopped him for expired tags and mistook his walking stick for a gun.

Lacking the strength to walk properly, Mr. Canipe then reached into his truck to pick up his walking stick, as he had done countless times before. But this time was different. Canipe was in...
