It's only a game, right kids?

A benches-clearing basebrawl broke out during a high school playoff game in Southern California on Thursday that caused both teams to be eliminated. With Verdugo Hills leading Roosevelt 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning in the CIF Division 5 regional semifinals, a Verdugo Hills runner got caught in a rundown between third and home on a grounder to the pitcher. The runner barrelled into Roosevelt third baseman Izaiah Cortez, who tagged the runner out. 

 

The runner exchanged words with Roosevelt pitcher Ivan Gonzalez before Cortez got up and shoved the runner before punches were thrown, causing players from both dugouts to storm the field.

On what grounds? Because he's an idiot?

An Arizona high school graduate had part of his ear torn off and suffered a concussion when he jumped off his classmate’s roof during an alcohol-fueled senior skip day party. Blake Barnes, who attended Phoenix’s Desert Vista High School, filed a lawsuit against Brandon and Megan Spencer, who he claims knew about the party that their son was hosting at their home in the Ahwatukee neighborhood.

Barnes said that between 100 and 150 people had attended the out-of-control party that allegedly included underage drinking in the home’s backyard while several teens were standing on the roof on April 13.

 

The rational behind that lawsuit is mind-bending. The kid got hurt because he's a fucking idiot who thought jumping from the roof to the pool was a good idea. Instead of just losing part of his ear he coulda killed himself. Then who would sue who? C'mon folks - ya gotta stay away from the shyster lawyers already...

82 years later, all is forgotten?

This is what was happening on this morning, 82 years ago. The youngest of these bravest souls would be at least 99 today. God bless each and every one of them - they truly were 'The Greatest Generation'. You never have and hopefully never will experience anything nearly as maddening, chaotic and frightening as this must have been, and yet they perservered, and were selfless in doing so.

And because of them - their bravery and sacrifice - we are here today, alive and free. Think about them - their trials and sacrifices and what they preserved for us - before you bitch about something truly trivial in your life or world...

 Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is threatening to shut down the Delaney Hall immigration detention center as the Trump administration ramps up enforcement operations in the area. Baraka made the threat during a news conference, warning that continued federal activity around the facility could force the city to close it.

The mayor accused ICE agents of creating fear and instability, claiming their operations are disrupting the center and the individuals held there. The Delaney Hall facility has been a focal point of protests and clashes in recent weeks as the Trump administration increases arrests and deportations of criminal illegal aliens.

DHS officials pushed back, stating that Baraka and New Jersey’s sanctuary policies helped create the unrest by obstructing federal law enforcement and encouraging protests.

British Landing Craft Tanks (LCTs) lined up along the Normandy shore during the D-Day landings in June 1944.The large balloons floating above the ships are barrage balloons, which were tethered to the vessels to discourage enemy air attacks by creating a hazard for low-flying aircraft.These vessels were amphibious assault craft specifically designed to land tanks directly onto the beaches.

This is a work truck in London. Problem is a lot worse in Europe - especially England and France, where the Governments are super-liberal and wouldn't dream of turning anyone away. It's a clusterfuck like nothing we've seen here. What I find fascinating is how all of these immigrants, the vast majority of whom are Muslims, all go to Christian societies. None of them go to other Muslim countries.

Utah Beach, Normandy, June 6, 1944 - At 6:30 in the morning, the American 4th Infantry Division under General Barton, supported by amphibious tanks, reached the La Madeleine dunes on Sainte-Marie-du-Mont beach. As luck would have it, coastal currents had carried their landing craft two kilometres south of the planned location, where landing would have been a good deal more dangerous. Weakened by air and sea bombardment, German resistance was not up to scratch. The Americans only suffered minor losses, with some fifty dead and around 150 wounded. By the early afternoon, they had joined up with the 101st Airborne.

A brand-new Ford F-250 in Kansas was ready to leave the dealership - until a robin family moved in first. At Olathe Ford Lincoln in Olathe, Kansas, a mother robin built her nest directly on top of one of the truck’s tires after the vehicle had already been sold. Inside the nest were four bright blue eggs, which later hatched into baby robins the dealership nicknamed Lugnut, Axle, Diesel, and Turbo. But this was not a nest anyone could simply move. Because robins and their active nests are protected under the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the truck had to stay exactly where it was until the chicks were old enough to leave on their own. Instead of rushing the sale, the dealership and the new owners chose patience, letting the tiny family grow safely in the wheel well of a truck built for power but temporarily claimed by nature. For a little while, the keys belonged to the birds - and one sold pickup became the most protected F-250 in America.

How dey gunna replaced Da Bears?

The Bears’ board of directors voted Thursday to push forward with the Hammond project, with the exact site still to be confirmed. It is the first time the board has voted on any stadium site in a process that has dragged on for the better part of five years.

A last-ditch bill was introduced in the Illinois Senate at 11 p.m. local time on Sunday night in a final attempt to keep the team in state. By Monday morning lawmakers had adjourned without a vote.

 

They knew they were a little low coming in, but damn, son...

The packed United Airlines passenger plane that hit a light pole while landing at Newark International Airport last month was flying just 19 feet above the busy Jersey Turnpike, an initial investigation showed. The May 3 flight was cruising below the safe landing path for about three-quarters of a mile before reaching the runway and striking the light pole, according to the early National Transportation Safety Board report obtained by CNN.

 

It was so low that it was initially thought that the plane’s landing gear struck a passing tractor-trailer. However, the report showed that the truck was actually hit by debris from the struck light pole, injuring the driver.

Yeah - tell me that wouldn't have you shittin' yer drawers...

He found his mother. She was working in the next aisle...

A Michigan man named Steve Flaig spent about four years searching for his birth mother after he asked his adoption agency for information at age 18. In 2007, he finally found the correct spelling of her last name and got an address near his workplace.

Then came the shock: his boss recognized the name as “Chris” Tallady, a head cashier who already worked at the same Lowe’s store as Flaig, just outside Grand Rapids.  Flaig worked as a delivery driver at a Lowe's store, while his birth mother, Christine Tallady, also worked at the same location. 

Flaig had known her only as a co-worker. The adoption agency contacted her, and she learned the son she had placed for adoption years earlier was working with her at the store. Sometimes, the family you’re searching for is closer than you ever imagined.

Casual sex is not fulfilling? That's news to me...

 Many see casual sex as generally harmless fun, but a growing body of research suggests that it may carry some damaging psychological costs. Interestingly, the research literature on the mental health consequences of casual sex is inconclusive. For example, one large-scale U.S. study found that young adults partaking in casual sexual encounters had similar levels of psychological well-being to those in committed relationships.

In contrast, other studies indicate that casual sex is associated with worse mental health. For example, another large U.S. study found that people engaging in casual sex reported decreased well-being, self-esteem, and life satisfaction, as well as increased psychological distress and depression symptoms. Interestingly, this study found no difference between men and women, though other research indicates that men are more likely to report that casual sex is a positive emotional experience than women.

Bottom line? Screw it - do it. You can do your own study...
