Happy Friday to you! With less than 40 days until the election in November and both candidates turning their dials way past ten, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to, you know, laugh for once. Because no matter who you're voting for this year, everyone likes a good roast. In that spirit, I present to you this hilarious spoof of Hillary Clinton done by popular Youtuber Jenna Marbles.…

BuzzFeed recently published a presidential preference poll for their readership to take part in. A day or so later, they felt the need to “update” it because they felt the results “no longer accurately reflects the opinions of real people.” Take three guesses as to what the results were showing. Polls are something that many media outlets do. They're a quick thing that will catch people’s…

As if the world hasn't seemed crazy enough lately, now we have to read stories about how cake can be offensive and cause some people to feel uncomfortable.  As first reported by Todd Starnes, a Walmart in McDonough, Georgia came under fire when some employees refused to make a cake for a police officer who was retiring after 25 years on the force. The cake was requested by the daughter of a cop…

FBI Director James Comey testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee Monday regarding why some key witnesses in the Hillary Clinton email scandal were given some form of immunity. There was the usual partisan grilling from Republican lawmakers while Comey defended the agency’s investigation process. That, however, is not the fun part of this story. During the committee’s questioning,…

Last weekend, Mark Ross got a devastating phone call from his family at 3 a.m. informing him that his 15-year-old sister had died in a car accident. Obviously desperate to make the trip from Indiana to Detroit so he could be with his family, Ross was in a bind because he had no car or a valid license. Instead, he begged a friend who had a suspended license to drive him there. The friend agreed…

Things are getting weird in the ever-evolving story of Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe who has been thrust into the political spotlight after the first presidential debate and featured in a new Clinton campaign video. In a recent interview, Machado went after not Donald Trump, but his wife Melania. Speaking with Cosmopolitan magazine, Machado attacked Melania Trump by calling her “a…

Yep, it’s reached that point. As reported by Campus Reform, three illegal immigrants are suing the University System of Georgia over their policy of not admitting people who are not lawfully residing in the United States. USG’s policy under the section “Admission of Persons Not Lawfully Present in the United States” reads: A person who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not…

One of the bigger questions leading into the debate last night was exactly what kind of role moderator Lester Holt would play. Would he sit back and let the candidates duke it out? Or would he interject himself into arguments to hold each candidate’s feet to the fire if they said something false?  So how did he do? Well the answer could probably be summed up with a resounding… “Meh.” Perhaps…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few weeks (oddly enough I wouldn’t blame you), you’ve probably heard that there’s going to be a debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton tonight. While we’ve heard a lot of debate about the idea of a moderator fact-checking candidates or not, it is also important to remember the other, if not equally important, side of these debates: the…

There have been plenty of stories in the news lately about the relationship between police officers and the African American community, with the latest being the unfortunate riots in Charlotte, N.C. What the mainstream media won’t show you, though, are the amazing acts of kindness and charity that police officers offer their communities. Jourdan Duncan is a 19-year-old who works in Benicia…
