"Those people" have treated him and his wife with utter disdain. Good on old Donny Two-Scoops for his latest move.

The White House Correspondent’s association was furious after President Trump drove by supporters outside Walter Reed without informing them.

WHCA President Zeke Miller said in a statement “It is outrageous for the president to have left the hospital — even briefly — amid a health crisis without a protective pool present to ensure that the American people know where their president is and how he is doing.”

He added “Now more than ever, the American public deserves independent coverage of the president so they can be reliably informed about his health.”

Hey Zeke, #LearnToCode you retard.

Making his patients cluck like chickens wasn't enough. Hypnotist wants to be a urologist.

FAIRFIELD, N.J. — A New Jersey hypnotist was arrested after subjecting patients to illegal prostate exams, investigators said.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said patients would visit Robert Bruckner, 55, for hypnotherapy sessions and he would perform the exams, WCBS reported. It is unclear if the patients were under hypnosis during the exams.

Bruckner, who is not a licensed doctor, owns Major Mindset Hypnosis Counseling. He offers services to adults, teens and children.

RIP former St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, Bob Gibson.

We went out for dinner last night with friends. Yes, Wisconsin isn't completely locked down because of the Kung Flu. (Us denizens of the "Frozen Tundra" are much tougher than our Madison pussy overlords) One of our friends is a retired detective. He stated anyone who wants to become a cop today is nuts. Another reason he is correct.

NYPD officers to face �disciplinary action� for not wearing face masks while on duty

Amidst an uptick in COVID-19 cases in some boroughs, NYPD cops will reportedly risk an unspecified form of disciplinary action for ignoring the requirement to wear face masks while on duty as required by state law. In an administrative bulletin reportedly sent out via email from the human resources department to everyone on New York�s Finest, as the Big Apple police department is known, cops received a reminder that �they are required to wear face coverings at all times when performing duties in public areas, department facilities and whenever social distancing is not possible.� Police officials also banned scarves, bandanas, and handkerchiefs �not originally designed for that purpose.�

�Failure to comply with the�guidelines, or other appropriate posted signage, will result in disciplinary action,� the memo added, according to the New York Post. Cops can remove their masks when they are eating or drinking. Supervisory cops will be on the lookout for noncompliance. Any officer who feels he or she can�t comply must notify the NYPD�s Equal Employment Opportunity Division.

No word if nursing homes in NYC has stopped accepting Kung Flu patients.

My colleague CBD discusses First World Problems on Sundays. Granted he isn't an Apple user, But many of us are and this is a problem of the largest proportions.

Apple Confirms Serious New Problems For iPhone Users

In iOS 14, iPhone owners have received one of the best generational upgrades in years, but it is far from bug free. And now Apple has just confirmed a number of serious problems for upgraders.

Let me think about this for a minute. California was admitted to the United State of America on September 9, 1850. It was the 31st state and admitted as a "Free State". So a "Free State" at the time of the Civil War is responsible for reparations for slavery. Talk about guilt using others money for redemption.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill Wednesday approving a task force to consider paying reparations for slavery.

Newsom said the bipartisan support for the bill, which passed in the state Senate on a 33-3 vote last month, is “proving a paradigm that we hope will be resonant all across the United States.”

The bill will require a commission study the lingering impact of slavery in the state and make recommendations to lawmakers by July 2023. The recommendations should include details on what form of compensation should be awarded as well as its recipients.

How much of a one time blackmail payment will put this stupidity to rest? We all know the answer to this one unfortunately.

The things you learn on Twitter...............

You. Will. Be. Made. To. Care. Immediately! Nothing like going to a high school football game on a Friday night and being subjected to the "Black National Anthem.

“All of the visiting parents were completely caught off guard,” popular Cleveland radio host Bob Frantz, whose son was playing in the game, told PJ Media. “We were standing respectfully for the playing of the Lakewood alma mater, and when it ended they began a new song,” which turned out to be “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Also known as the “black national anthem,” the song is featured before NFL stadiums as a part of the BLM movement.

“Then, when [the announcer] began telling everyone how horribly racist American society is, we were livid,” said Frantz, who hosts “Frantz Authority” on Salem affiliate 1420 The ANSWER. “Most of us sat down immediately, and the three dads near me, all of whom were police officers, were visibly angry. One said he would have walked out if it wasn’t his son’s senior season.”

Some things make me scream OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of those things.

When I first read this story I actually broke out laughing. The fabulous Mrs. Mis Hum asked me what was so funny. I said I found tonight's Genius Award Winner.

A Hull student has been left red-faced after having to be rescued from a tumble dryer by a crew of firefighters.

The drunken high jinx ended in embarrassment for Rosie Cole, 21, who decided to entertain her housemates with her contortion act.

The hilarious video shows the moment Rosie was rescued by firefighters after she was dared to get inside the dryer in their shared accommodation in Beresford Avenue, north Hull.

She’d been enjoying a couple bottles of Zinfandel wine and honey tequila when their Tuesday evening took a sudden turn.

The tipsy student thought there was “no chance” she’d fit, but after wiggling her way in she was suddenly stuck inside the dryer.

Not every burger flipper is a thoughtless and uncaring individual. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Meet Wyatt Jones, a McDonald’s employee from Waynesville, Ohio. Wyatt is a credit to the McDonald’s corporation, and a truly special person.

Wyatt Jones said he’d happily pay for the meal.
