| Donald Trump threatens to shut down federal government over “wall funding” |
Remember all during the 2016 presidential campaign Donald Trump’s promises of building a wall along the U.S. southern border and Mexico would pay for it?
Over and over he told his followers how “easy” it would be to get the Mexican government to pay for ‘the wall.’
Not sure whatever happened to that plan because now the Trumpster is threatening to shut down the federal government if Democrats in Congress don’t vote to give him tens of billions of dollars to build ‘the wall.’
This morning, Trump tweeted, “I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!”

And the Twitterverse responded:
Pro tip on who’s responsible if government shuts down this fall:
(a) Republicans control House
(b) Republicans control Senate
(c) Republican President just told
you he wants to shut down the
government in the fall— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) July 29, 2018

“A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the President is weak”

| Fitness model Sam Asghari (image via Instagram) |
Sam Asghari, Britney Spears’ main squeeze, recently revealed that he wasn’t always the woofy, muscle hound he is today. He also shared how he was able to lose 100 pounds in becoming the fit beast he’s become.
In a recent profile in Men’s Health, the 24-year-old said he began to gain weight after being cut from his college football team. He eventually tipped the scales at an eye-popping 290 pounds.
“I was eating Doritos for breakfast, fast food, sugar, candy, no protein, a lot of carbs, and drinking sugary sodas,”Asghari shared. “My nutrition was extremely horrible. The stress and the fear of not going anywhere [in life] combined gave me my depression.”
After six months of seriously bad nutrition and not working out, Asghari committed to making changes in his life.
“I could either continue going through the same thing or I could give it another 100 percent,” he said. “I didn’t want to have to deal with that depression and disappointment anymore. I had to restart.”
Working three jobs was proving to be a deterrent to better health and fitness as well. Asghari quit two jobs and made fitness his primary job.
Along the way, he did swing a bit past center in the obsessive department: measuring his body fat percentage daily and limiting his calorie intake to 1,500.
In only six months, he was 100 pounds lighter, and had reached a stunning 9% body fat.
With all the changes in his health and appearance came high-profile gigs with A-list artists including his appearance in the Fifth Harmony video, “Work.”
Shortly thereafter he was cast in Britney’s “Slumber Party” video.
Hello + chemistry = couple-hood.
Now, Asghari shares his fitness regime with Brit via Instagram.
“The exercises, I come up with them, but the videos are because of my better half. She’s the video director,” he said. “It’s a very fun thing, and I look back at them and smile. Working out together is always nice and we try to do it a couple times. It’s super healthy, mentally and physically. It takes your mind off of everything else.”

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently tweeted a public service announcement reminding folks to not “wash or re-use condoms.”
The informative tweet read, “We say it because people do it: Don’t wash or reuse #condoms! Use a fresh one for each #sex act.”

Now, I trust and believe that if the CDC, one of the foremost leaders on treating/preventing HIV, is tweeting it, it’s for a reason.
But – SRSLY? Folks have to be told condoms are a one and done kinda thing?
The Twitterverse thought this seemed a bit obvious, but then decided to have some fun.

Well, what the hell am I supposed to with all these condoms in the dishwasher now?— What a Stupid Time to be Alive (@mrd125) July 25, 2018
People do that??? pic.twitter.com/4hsBBoW1vE— Cecil (@transyurochka) July 24, 2018
People really out here reusing condoms?! pic.twitter.com/VQ7NZ1ZG9y— sabraaaaa (@curlygalsay) July 25, 2018
So, to be clear:
Yes – always use a condom to protect yourself from infections ranging from HIV to many other STDs.
Yes – You should check the condom before using to make sure it’s not damaged.
No – Don’t keep condoms in your wallet as friction and heat are not a condom’s friends.
And no – don’t reuse condoms. Please dispose of them sensibly.

Happy Friday!

| James Wesley Howell |
Just hours after the deadly Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, two years ago, an Indiana man was arrested and police confiscated weapons, ammunition and bomb-making materials found in his car.
In court this week, James Wesley Howell pleaded no contest to charges of unlawful assault weapon activity, possession of a destructive device on a public road or highway and possession of a destructive device. The 22-year-old was sentenced to 7 years in state prison on Thursday.
Howell was found sitting in his car in Santa Monica in the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, after police responded to a call regarding a man knocking on residents’ windows and doors.
From the LA Times:
Inside his car, police found three rifles — including an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 .223 caliber rifle that police described as an assault weapon — and two 30-round magazines.
In addition to the guns, Howell was also driving with a full five-gallon container of gasoline and a 25-pound container of “Shoc-shot,” a commercially sold two-component explosive that detonates when hit by a high-velocity rifle round, Santa Monica police said at the time.
Howell also had a black hood, a Taser, handcuffs, a Buck knife, a security badge and additional ammunition for the guns, court records show.
At the time of his arrest, Howell told police he was planning on attending LA Pride, but the Indianapolis Star later reported he had been charged with sexually molesting a 12-year-old girl in Indiana.
As a result of the Pulse shooting and the dangerous materials found in his possession, security measures were heightened at the Pride festival.
