Quote II

“Even when the game is over, you don’t know if they’re waiting for you, so even if the cops kicked them out, it may not be over. So we just all agreed, this is too dangerous,” Erik Johansson, the coach of the Manhattan Kickers 17-year-old boys travel team

Quote III

"Art" meets mental illness. Exhibition displays trans curator’s amputated breasts in jar

An exhibition on physical beauty has displayed its transgender curator’s surgically removed breasts in a jar.

The Cult of Beauty show at the Wellcome Collection in London seeks to explore aesthetics “beyond binaries of beautiful or ugly”.

A display about “transness”, which charts the community’s “transcestors”, includes the breasts of E-J Scott, a transgender man.

Trigger warnings for visitors entering the exhibit tell them to expect “nudity, images of surgery and human tissue”.

Someday I'm going to throw the PC away, switch to a flip phone and stop reading the news.

We are governed by the best & brightest, amirite?

WATCH: Joe Biden's Senior Moment of the Week (Vol. 90)
'Elect me, I'm in the 20th century'

However the bumbling and stumbling MushHead's foreign policy prowess is facing another serious defeat.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The United States will begin plans to withdraw troops from Niger, U.S. officials said Saturday, in what experts say is a blow to Washington and its allies in the region in terms of staging security operations in the Sahel. The planned departure comes as U.S. officials said they were trying to find a new military agreement.

The prime minister of Niger, appointed by the ruling military junta, Ali Lamine Zeine, and U.S. deputy secretary of state Kurt Campbell, agreed on Friday that the two nations would begin to plan the withdrawal of American troops, the U.S. State Department told The Associated Press in an email Saturday.

What will MushHead's response be? Perhaps a letter of reprimand and an entry into their permanent record?

A US military base in Syria has been struck by rockets in a Iraqi drone strike sparking fears for possible casualties.

The five rockets were fired toward the town of Zummar today, two Iraqi security sources told Reuters.

Wow, I'm so shocked. How about you?

Official Temperature Data Isn’t ‘Data’ At All

Even before our first surface stations report in 2009, The Heartland Institute led the way in reporting on problems with the surface temperature record.

We have highlighted how the surface station record did not correspond to the temperatures recorded by global satellites and weather balloons, two alternative temperature data sources whose data sets closely track each other. Heartland has repeatedly exposed instances in both the United States and abroad where official agencies tamper with past temperature data at pristine stations, adjusting it to appear cooler than what was actually recorded, while adjusting recent temperatures upward. We were all over the adjustments made by corrupt NOAA scientists in 2015 before the Paris climate treaty negotiations—mixing data from unbiased ocean buoys with heat-biased temperature measurements taken from ships’ engine water intake inlets, which made it appear the ocean was suddenly warming faster than before.

Also, first, foremost, and most forcefully, we independently documented the serious problems with the official surface temperature record arising from the fact that the vast majority of temperature stations are poorly sited. Stations fail NOAA’s own standards for quality, unbiased stations in reporting temperatures skewed by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.

Texas Mom Went On Cruise, Left Young Kids Home Alone, Cops Charge

A Texas woman went on a cruise and left her children--an eight-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl--home alone in the family’s $3600-a-month apartment in Houston, police charge.

According to a criminal complaint, neighbors of Lakesha Woods Williams, 29, spotted her departing the luxury McKinley Apartments on April 4 with “luggage and bags” and “never saw her return to the location.”

Aware that children may have been left in the 21st floor apartment (which has a small balcony), a witness called police. Cops who visited the complex on April 9 discovered the two children in the apartment, which was “in complete disarray and had trash and left-over food all over the unit” and reeked of urine.

Although "They" despise and ridicule us. There are good patriotic Americans. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. Sorry if there is dust in your device.
