Damn. We are all going to die.

Quote II

“There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject electoral college votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to ‘overturn the election,'.

“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Former VP Mike Pence

Quote III

"Animal lovers and liberty lovers can agree that taxpayers should not be forced to pay $2 million for beagle puppies to be injected with cocaine just to fulfill outdated FDA red tape," Justin Goodman, senior vice president of advocacy of public policy at White Coat Waste,

Some people deserve no mercy.

The only "Hatred" there is from the elites. Trudeau is a pussy, eh.

Illegal voting? It never happens.

The founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Memphis has been sentenced to prison for six years for illegally registering to vote in Tennessee, prosecutors said.

Pamela Moses, the 44-year-old activist, was ordered to spend six years and one day behind bars Monday for registering to vote despite felony convictions in 2015 that made her ineligible to do so, Shelby County District Attorney General. Amy Weirich said.

In handing down the sentence, Judge Michael Ward accused her of deceiving the probation department to obtain the right to vote,

“You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” Ward said in court, the Washington Post reported.

I guess the Olympic Games are taking place. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Chinese Olympics fans erupted on social media, furious that California-born skater Zhu Yi defected to China for the games but finished in a disastrous dead last place during her debut for Team China.

Yi, who gave up her U.S. citizenship to become a Chinese citizen so she could compete for the communist government’s genocide Olympics, finished with the lowest score for the entire event in Beijing on Saturday, the Daily Mail reported.

NSFW-Language, unless you're a sailor

$60.00 a gallon? That seems like highway robbery to me.

Centre Co., PA (WJAC) — Investigators with the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement say a Centre County couple has been charged for illegally producing and selling moonshine for the better part of three decades, according to a criminal complaint.

X-RAY HELL Seven die and dozens poisoned after ‘doctors tell them to swallow battery fluid before having X-rays’

SEVEN people died and at least two dozen were poisoned after doctors told them to "swallow battery fluid" before having X-rays.

The victims suffered agonising deaths and chronic injuries after the deadly blunder at St Petersburg's Municipal Diagnostic Centre No. 1 clinic in Russia.

I could have told you years ago that the "Great Outdoors" does the soul good.

Hundreds of scientific studies have now demonstrated that spending time in nature has mental and physical health benefits for those feeling stressed, uninspired, lethargic or burnt out from the daily (unhealthy) grind of sitting at a desk and staring at a screen.

And all over the world, different nations have different keywords for the importance of getting outside. Japan turns to shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” which is the act of taking in nature using all of your senses. Germany’s mastered the art of volksmarsch, a non-competitive weekend walking event through the woods. Norwegians encourage koselig, which calls for a celebration of the outdoors, even in the depths of winter. And South Koreans “hit mung,” which means letting your mind go as blank as possible in a calm setting, usually in natural environs.
