Doesn't look like this guy was living the life of Reilly, does it? The dramatic killing of Tren de Aragua gang leader Niño Guerrero follows a stepped up operation by the Venezuelan military in a mob-linked region – in a joint operation with US forces, marking a new level of cooperation for the two former rival nations.
Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Armed Forces launched major operations targeting illegal gold mining in Bolivar state Tuesday, local media reported, following a meeting by acting President Delcy Rodriguez with top military leaders. US military officials stressed the joint action with the former US rival in statements after President Trump shared video of the “swift and lethal” strike that took out Guerrero.
“Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States,” he said.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also touted the “full collaboration with Venezuelan security forces” in his statement on the strike on the TDA compound in Venezuela.
That's only 35 cents per cup and it's GOOD coffee!
The San Antonio Spurs have slapped a ticket restriction on NBA Finals games in a pathetic bid to keep New York fans from flooding the Frost Bank Center. Knicks faithful trying to get into tonight’s Game 5 contest – which could hand New York its first NBA title in 53 years – are being greeted with a warning from Ticketmaster.
“Frost Bank Center is located in San Antonio, Texas . Sales to this event will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center,” the note reads.
Guess that tells you everything you need to know about what they think of them rowdy-ass motherfuckers from the Big Apple, huh?

This is not what I wanted to get in to here, but it's a good place to start, because New Jersey has jumped the shark in terms of overburdening their citizens and just taxing the living fuck out of everybody. In ritzy, pinkys-up towns like Upper Montclair, Princeton and a few others, they have actually banned the use of leaf blowers. Banned it because they don't like the sounds they make - the noise you may have to tolerate for all of five minutes while they clean up after doing your neighbor's lawn.
I had a light-bulb-over-the-head moment yesterday. I came to realize what's so fucked up with modern day Government. I think originally, governments were set up to determine what you can do, and these days they spend all of their time telling us what we cannot do. They've flipped the equation on us.
Look at NYC, Seattle, Chicago and any number of other places where the people they've put in power shouldn't even be allowed to run a leaf blower, let alone a City or a State. Okay - bad metaphor, but you get my point...

A crowd of the usual suspects descended on picturesque Horny Corner beach in the tony Belmont Shore section of Long Beach at dusk Thursday, sparking a wild brawl that led to several teens being detained. The chaos unfolded as the sun began to set on the first night of summer break for students enrolled at many schools in the area, including nearby Woodrow Wilson High, which enrolls more than 3,300.
Wild video captured at the scene shows throngs of teens clogging streets and the sand at two busy Southern California beaches, that of Horny Corner and nearby Rosie’s Dog Beach.
Teen girls in bikini tops threw punches at each other in the frenzy that ensued, prompting a number of local residents to call the police. As of 9:45 p.m., some juveniles remained in the area, according to police. Officers gave numerous announcements regarding curfew enforcement, but the teens refused to leave. Five were cited for violating the city’s curfew and taken to their families.

If you were lucky enough to have a store like this one near where you grew up, you understand how important they are. The Last Straw was on Broad Street in Bloomfield, NJ, just a short ten minute ride from my house.
Part head shop/record store/clothes store, the sold all manner of gettin' high tools, had a reasonable record inventory, and a ticketron setup for getting area concert tickets. Upstairs was a kinda unisex clothing boutique and shoe store all in one. I bought my first pair of FRYE boots there for $ 30.00 - a lot of money in 1970. The whole place smelled like incense and patchoulli oil. I can still smell it in my dreams...
The Willy-T, short for William Thornton, is an iconic floating bar and restaurant and popular charter boat destination, nestled in the tranquil waters of Norman Island, in the British Virgin Islands.
Anchored in The Bight, the Willy-T boasts a prime location, as it is very close to the Caves and the Indians, two other major attractions at Norman Island. Its distinctive appearance makes it easily recognizable from a distance, drawing locals and tourists alike to eat, drink and JUMP!
The history of the Willy-T dates back to the 1980s when it was originally established as a private yacht named the William Thornton. Over time, it transformed into a floating bar and restaurant, gaining popularity for its lively and sometimes wild atmosphere and breathtaking views of the surrounding islands.
In 2017, Hurricane Irma, a powerful Category 5 storm, struck the Caribbean leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The Willy-T received unrepairable damage and was ultimately sunk in Key Bay, Peter Island and turned into a dive site by Beyond the Reef. The shipwreck has an underwater art exhibit and artificial coral reef to be enjoyed by snorkelers and divers alike.
Because the Willy-T had become an integral part of the maritime culture in the BVI, efforts to find a new vessel to carry on the infamous Willy-T brand started immediately and launched in 2018. The boat featured above is the new replacement...
Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its record-breaking IPO today, making him the world’s first trillionaire while enriching many employees and investors.
Musk didn’t travel to the New York Stock Exchange for the ceremonial bell ringing, instead choosing to celebrate at his company’s headquarters in South Texas - surrounded by some of the estimated 4,000 millionaires he created through the public offering.
It was a symbolic move for Musk, who’s relocation of SpaceX and Tesla to the Lone Star State cost California untold billions, said Dr. Wayne Winegarden of the Pacific Research Institute. “The bottom line is this is exhibit A of why you don’t want to chase away businesses,” he told The California Post.
“Obviously, businesses will move [because of] different advantages and things of that nature. But when you have a punitive tax system, when you have a punitive energy cost, you chase away companies, and entrepreneurial and potential income gains go with it,” Winegarden added.
The actual color of healthy human teeth is often yellowish, rather than stark white, because the underlying layer of dentin is naturally yellow.
Tooth enamel is translucent and whitish, while the yellowish dentin layer beneath it determines the natural shade of the tooth. Genetics play a major role in determining a person's natural tooth shade, although food, drinks, and aging can cause additional staining.
Teeth whitening products, such as bleaching agents, can potentially weaken enamel by dissolving tooth structure if used improperly.

US officials have found a location in the Northeast where unexplained glowing orbs frequently appear in the night sky, bringing experts closer to solving a longstanding UFO mystery. The site’s existence, determined following a tip from a local resident and confirming visits by FBI agents, is being disclosed Friday as part of a third tranche of UFO files released pursuant to President Trump’s February declassification order. The location is being kept secret, but it is described in files as being on a secluded pond. Of course it is...
The sightings began in 2021 and have continued at irregular intervals, but the information released Friday is significant because the resident who reported the sightings to the FBI in October 2024 is considered credible and recorded footage on his cellphone of the orbs - including them appearing to replicate.
I'm not convinced of anything.

For six decades, trivia fans and TV junkies have debated one of the most-questioned pieces of insignifica behind "Gilligan's Island": What, exactly, was Gilligan's first name? The bumbling first mate of the S.S. Minnow (played by Bob Denver) was always addressed simply as "Gilligan," leaving viewers to question if it was his surname or if he was just a one-name wonder like Spock.
According to a deep-dive investigation by Snopes, the red-shirted klutz did, at one point, have a first name: "Willy Gilligan." But despite popular belief, it was never once uttered in the show, the scripts, or the original unaired 1963 "Gilligan's Island" pilot. The whole debate behind Gilligan's first name actually stems from a bit of information unearthed by TV Guide.
In 1993, TV Guide revealed that it got its hands on an old press release that said Gilligan's first name was initially going to be "Willy." At the time, TBS's 1992 broadcast of the lost "Gilligan's Island" pilot was still fresh in the minds of the public. In that pilot, there's a particular scene in which a radio news broadcast reports on the missing castaways by full name - except for Gilligan.

This shit's crazy. You can go online and create whatever you want to bet on, and then somebody else will see it and decide if they want to take the bet or not. I read somewhere that as much as twenty million dollars was bet on whether or not that kid who stabbed the other would be acquitted or found guilty. What kinda sick fuck bets on shit like that?

The Donald needs to stop saying shit before the fact, giving the other guys a chance to deny what he's saying. He went on TV last night saying the Iran thing was a done deal, and then the guys on the other side said 'Well, fuck me. We ain't signed shit yet'. Just go ahead and bomb these motherfuckers back to the stone ages and be done with them. Everything they say is a fuckin' lie, and we all know it.

When Elon Musk’s SpaceX debuts on Wall Street this morning, the controversial tech titan will almost certainly step into the history books as the world’s first trillionaire. Musk already holds the crown of the world’s wealthiest man - worth roughly $696bn before SpaceX announced its record-breaking initial public offering on Thursday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
