Ann Coulter Is REALLY Disappointed In Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s recent statements saying he’s working with Democratic leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi on developing legislation that would enshrine the DACA program into law are not sitting well with ex-Trumpster Ann Coulter.

Gainesville Cops Selfie Launches Charity Calendar But One Might Have Anti-Semite Views

So much pain for Florida locals who suffered massive losses thanks to Hurricane Irma over the weekend.

Every now and then, folks could use a momentary distraction just to lighten the moment, and I think hottie Gainesville police officers might fill the bill.

Officers Normand, Hamill, and Rengering of the Gainesville Police Department briefly stopped the internet this week with this quick selfie they snapped as they started their duties this week.

So much so that fans clamored for a “hot Gainesville cops” calendar, and now there are promises to produce and sell said calendar with funds going to recovery efforts.

The one small snag in all this woofy hotness – apparently Officer Michael Hamill (pictured above center) might have shared some anti-Semite opinions per his Facebook page, making him not so ‘hot.’.

From the Gainesville Sun:

One screen shot is of an April 2013 post, in which Hamill writes: “Who knew that reading jewish jokes before I go to bed would not only make me feel better about myself but also help me to sleep better as well. Here is one for everybody, “What’s the difference between boy scouts and jews?” Anybody know? Well it is because “Boy scouts come back from their camps.”

One person replied to that Facebook post, calling it “messed up.” Hamill replied, “u don’t like it? don’t read it then.”

In another screen shot from a 2011 post, Hamill writes: “so I find it funny that people will talk about how our government needs to do something about our economy and in reality it’s YOU who needs to stop taking advantage of our system and get a life and do something with your life. Gotta love reality when it hits you in the face. Stupid people annoy me. Put them in an oven and deal with them the Hitler way. Haha.”

Trailer: Tom Of Finland

Check out the U.S. trailer for the upcoming Tom of Finland.

Synoposis:

Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II, but life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing. He finds peace-time Helsinki rampant with persecution of the homosexual men around him, even being pressured to marry women and have children. Touko finds refuge in his liberating art, specializing in homoerotic drawings of muscular men, free of inhibitions. His work – made famous by his signature ‘Tom of Finland’ – became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of a gay revolution.

The film has been extremely well received at film festivals all over the world (official selection at Tribeca International Film Festival and Outfest 2017) and is Finland’s official submission for 2018 Academy Awards.

Opens theatrically in NYC on October 13 and in LA/SF on October 20 with a national release to follow.

#TBT – My First Bow

Regular readers know I’ve been a professional theater dancer and choreographer since my teens, but I often forget how far back my dancing days go.

This is me (white sweater) leading my kindergarten class out on the floor for a square dance in Fort Worth, Texas. I’m guessing I was age four perhaps?

And to answer the question before it’s asked – no, there was no more square dancing in my future after that auspicious debut LOL

Although, a two-step with a hunky cowboy is always fun 😉

Tweet Of The Day: Hillary Clinton

With Hillary Clinton all over the media promoting her new best-selling memoir What Happened, it was just a matter of time until the Tweeter in Chief, Donald Trump, chimed in about the book.

And right on cue, there he was last night tweeting, “Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss. She lost the debates and lost her direction!”

But Hillary was ready for the troll and slapped back offering to send him another book she wrote, It Takes A Village: “If you didn’t like that book, try this one — some good lessons in here about working together to solve problems. Happy to send a copy.”

#FTW!

As predicted, What Happened has hit number one on several best-seller lists including Amazon 🙂

Trump: “We’re Working On A Plan For DACA”

You could get whiplash following the story of whether or not Donald Trump has agreed to work with Democrats in Congress on solving the issue of DACA.

Last night Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced, after a dinner meeting at the White House, that Trump had agreed to support legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to remain in the states.

Then, Trump tweeted there was no deal.

Now, he says there is.

From the New York Times:

President Trump confirmed on Thursday morning that he supports legislation that would protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation and would deliver a “massive” increase in border security — but not with a wall on the southern border.

Mr. Trump’s comments, both in Washington and in Florida, affirmed the broad parameters of an agreement that Democratic leaders unilaterally announced Wednesday night after dinner with the president at the White House.

In remarks to reporters as he left the White House on Thursday, Mr. Trump said, “We’re working on a plan for DACA,” referring to protections for immigrants who are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. He confirmed, “the wall will come later.”

Mr. Trump’s comments seemed to contradict his own Twitter posts early Thursday morning when he said, “no deal was made last night on DACA.” But they were very much in line with Democratic leaders’ statements. Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader, also stopped short of calling their agreement a “deal” on Thursday.

But she told reporters, “We agreed to a plan to protect our nation’s Dreamers from deportation,” adding that there would be a “border security measure that does not include a wall” included in immigration legislation.

Anti-immigration Republicans like Rep. Steve King are furious over the developments:

Middle-Class Incomes In 2016 Reached Highest Level Ever Recorded

Here’s President Obama’s final report card on the economy for the last year of his presidency.

And the news is good.

According to the Census Bureau, middle-class American incomes reached the highest level ever recorded in 2016.

From the Washington Post:

Median household income rose to $59,039 in 2016, a 3.2 percent increase from the previous year and the second consecutive year of healthy gains, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.

The nation’s poverty rate fell to 12.7 percent, returning nearly to what it was in 2007 before a financial crisis and deep recession walloped workers in ways that were still felt years later.

“There’s a danger that this is as good as it gets,” said Peter Atwater, president of Financial Insyghts. “We are already at a 16-year low in unemployment. The likelihood of significant job growth from here is limited.”

Trump promised that a combination of tax cuts, infrastructure investment packages, renegotiated trade deals and the repeal of Obama administration regulations would deliver a burst of job creation and attendant economic growth.

So far, no such boom can be found.

In Trump’s first seven months, the U.S. economy has added about 25,000 fewer jobs per month than it did during the last seven months of Barack Obama’s presidency.

It’ll be interesting to see how the next three years go under Trump having been handed a healthy U.S. economy.

Martin “Pharma Douche” Shkreli Has Bail Revoked After Encouraging Followers To Grab Hillary Clinton’s Hair

Martin Shkreli

Martin “Pharma Douche” Shkreli just learned how his smart-ass ways can get him locked up without bail.

Last week, while awaiting sentencing after being convicted of defrauding investors, Shkreli took to Facebook offering to pay his followers $5,000 if they would grab a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair during her book tour.

In court yesterday, U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto found no humor in the antics and revoked his bail.

Shkreli, who faces up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud, apologized in writing, saying that he did not expect anyone to take his online comments seriously, and his attorneys pleaded with the judge Wednesday to give him another chance.

“The fact that he continues to remain unaware of the inappropriateness of his actions or words demonstrates to me that he may be creating ongoing risk to the community,” said Judge Matsumoto, as she revoked his bond.

“This is a solicitation of assault. That is not protected by the First Amendment.”

Shkreli is facing up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud.

He’ll now remain locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his sentencing in January 2018.

Trump Says “No Deal” With Schumer & Pelosi On DACA Fix

Donald Trump

Just hours after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced they’d reached a deal with President Trump “to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides,” Trump took to Twitter to deny any such deal.

And apparently “The Wall,” which has seen no legislative action is “already under construction.” but “in the form” of fixing existing structures?

What happened to the “big, beautiful wall?”

Democratic Leaders Announce Deal With Trump To Protect DACA “Dreamers”

Via Reuters:

President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress have agreed to work together on legislation to protect “Dreamers,” the illegal immigrants who were children when they entered the United States, the lawmakers said on Wednesday, although a dispute erupted over exactly what had been agreed.

Following a dinner with Trump at the White House, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said the “productive meeting” focused on “DACA,” a program established by former President Barack Obama.

“We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides,” Schumer and Pelosi said in a statement.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushed back on the idea that “The Wall” was part of the agreement:
