Current news, stories of interest, humor, and photography… a motley of what's in the news today
This is footage from back in 1993 when trump was fighting against Native Americans being allowed to build casinos on their land. And this fool was elected…… This video is just more proof of the hateful, prejudicial imbecile this man is that some people now call our president (personally, I do not recognize him as such). Chris Hayes posted this video in a tweet which references a tweet trump posted earlier today. More info available…

Many locals feared they were being bombed. Watch this first video below. I would think the exact same thing. The explosion shakes the ground.

Virginia TV CBS 6 meteorologist Aaron Justus decided to have some fun on Saturday by spicing up the weather forecast. The forecast starts out like any other forecast with Aaron standing in front of a map. However, rather than the normal summer weather, he warns up a volcanic eruption which will produce a temperature of 400 degrees in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Fun footage of a dancing traffic cop in Manila which has been synced to the song “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson. This guy has some moves! I have to wonder, though, if there is any music playing anywhere, or if he has on an iPod or an mp3 player.
