Georgie tells Repubs to not re-elect Rep Congress

Fast food company Burger King Russia has been forced to apologize after an advertisement offered Russian women the chance to win $47,000 and free Whoppers for life if they got impregnated by a World Cup player. The short-lived campaign was promoted in Russia on Tuesday via social media platform VK -- Russia's equivalent of Facebook -- before being pulled down after a flurry of angry responses from the public. Burger King Russia then released an apology on VK, saying they had removed all materials related to the campaign as it was 'insulting."

LONDON (AP) — No beer at this time of year? A British trade group says there’s a shortage of carbon dioxide in Northern Europe, sparking fears that drinks may lack fizz just as thirsty soccer fans fill pubs for the World Cup. Gavin Partington, director-general of the British Soft Drinks Association, says the shortage is due to the closure of several production sites for various reasons, including seasonal maintenance. But industry publication Gasworld says the situation is worse this year because normal maintenance has coincided with technical issues at chemical plants that also produce carbon dioxide.

On Sunday, a day we as a nation set aside to honor fathers and the bonds of family, I was among the millions of Americans who watched images of children who have been torn from their parents. In the six weeks between April 19 and May 31, the Department of Homeland Security has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. More than 100 of these children are younger than 4 years old. The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders. I live in a...

Porno height=450 graphic actress Stormy Daniels is suing her former attorney in a bid to explain away the fact that she once denied ever having an affair with President Donald Trump. Daniels’ case, championed by CNN and the mainstream media, is falling apart due to Daniels’ shifting stories, and a steady stream of bombshell revelations about the behavior of her attorney Michael Avenatti, a former Democratic opposition researcher for Rahm Emanuel and Joe Biden who was reportedly trying to get a cable debate show for himself with Anthony Scaramucci. Now, Stormy Daniels is storming at her previous lawyer Keith...

In the future, seas will rise far higher than they are today. The question is whether it happens quickly or slowly. There's enough ice stacked on top of Antarctica to raise seas around the globe by almost 200 feet. While it takes time for major changes to occur with that much ice, Antarctica is melting faster than we thought, according to a study recently published in the journal Nature. The melting rate has been speeding up significantly in recent years. Between 1992 and 2017, Antarctica lost more than 3.3 trillion tons of ice, causing sea levels around the globe to...

On Sunday night, Melania Trump spoke at the Ford Theatre’s annual gala, where she served as honorary chairperson. It was her first major public appearance after her lengthy, and still unexplained, disappearance from the public eye this past month. The strangeness of this saga reminds us just how much the workings of this administration resemble classic Hollywood thrillers such as Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes and Rebecca or George Cukor’s Gaslight—all mystery stories surrounding a dead or missing woman, and the desperate anxiety, even near-madness, experienced by another woman trying to solve the mystery, as she grapples with physical danger as...

Is Ben Shapiro a Neo-Con? From his article today.... Trump Got No Serious Concessions From Kim. Trump Legitimized Kim. Trump legitimized Kim. There are no two ways about it.

I have certain imbedded spies in the Nobel Peace Prize committee: My sources tell me that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee has made a decision after the Kim Jong Un / Donald Trump G7 Summit. They have leaked this draft announcement to me. “We have decided that HILLARY CLINTON will get the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, in that she was prescient, intelligent, and gracious enough to lose to Donald Trump in 2016, and thus allow that narcissistic megalomaniac, unskilled, paltry and shameful man to win. He mistakenly and with great luck (and no skill), accidentally caused North Korea to disavow...

After they played the clip on Megyn Kelly Today, Kelly read the comments he provided in response to that, saying he stands by his words and that he doesn’t “have to undermine her credibility, she has none.” But Kelly came through, pointing out, of both Trump and Giuliani, “The notion that he respects women of substance, a woman who wont sell her body for sexual exploitation…Melania Trump is classy and gorgeous and I really admire her. But she has posed nude for GQ magazine back in 2000.” As the audience applauded, she added, “I’m not comparing the two, posing nude...

Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin are one step closer to becoming parents. “We found the most amazing doctor, surrogate, everything is just great,” the former NSYNC member told People. “It’s happening, and it’s happening quick.” The couple wants to be “very” involved with the surrogate process every step of the way. “She lives close to us so we’ll be able to see her and be a part of her life and she’s going to be a part of our life the rest of our lives,” Bass said.

President Donald Trump wants to create a safe public space for ugly, unvarnished, unambiguous racism, which he knows he can exploit for political advantage. This cynical and destructive ploy must not be allowed to succeed. But since Tuesday, there has been not a word of censure for Barr's vile "joke" portraying Valerie Jarrett, a top adviser to President Barack Obama, as the result if "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby." Disney pulled the plug on 'Roseanne.' It's on the rest of us to pull the plug on racism Disney pulled the plug on 'Roseanne.' It's on...

Just a vanity here, but the more I see Roseanne grovel and beg for forgiveness, the more I think she’s a rat plant. Think about it. She’s an avowed socialist. She has no love for conservatives. So, she pretends to be a Trump supporter to rally us to her show. Then, she makes “racist” remarks about Val, and then begs for forgiveness. All to pretend that conservatives are racist and weak. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all cooked up by Obama, Roseanne and Valerie themselves. Just my opinion.

Cindy McCain, wife of ailing Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), is likely to succeed the longtime lawmaker, a new report says. John Gizzi, Newsmax’s chief political correspondent, reports: As Arizonans prepare for their final salute to Sen. John McCain, Republicans and political pundits in the state privately tell Newsmax they expect the appointment of his wife, Cindy, to succeed him in the Senate. … Those who did agree, almost unanimously, that Cindy McCain following John in the Senate through appointment by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey is a near-certainty. One longtime friend of the McCain family told Newsmax he long thought Arizona...

Freepers, we need to read this and evaluate the situation further before taking a stand on it. This was an excellent, informative posting that I think we should all read. (1) Well, the culling of the herd took a bit longer than expected. Over 1,000 followers and almost as many non-followers have been sent to limbo. You see, I live in a paradox: I cannot tolerate intolerance, and this week I witnessed a singular display of intolerance's appeal.

Two South Florida McDonald's customers think the fast-food giant is being awfully cheesy with how it charges customers for a signature item that has been on its menu since 1975. According to a class-action lawsuit filed in Fort Lauderdale federal court on May 8, Cynthia Kissner, of Broward County, and Leonard Werner, of Miami-Dade, say they have had to pay for cheese they don't want on their Quarter Pounder sandwiches. The suit asks for at least $5 million. It comes down to this: On the menu, a hamburger at Micky D's is cheaper than a cheeseburger. According to the lawsuit,...
