Do you have tissues handy?  Good, because you’re going to need them for this. If you’re feeling a little emotional today I would steer clear of this video unless you want to have a real good cry. I’m not afraid to admit that I just worried a few of my workmates as I sat at […]

The Grand Rapids Fire Department was out on a routine fire, in what they were told was an empty house. When they saw a motionless form laying on the floor, that’s when the heroics truly kicked in. It wasn’t the Michigan firefighters’ normal kind of rescue, however, as that form belonged to a small dog, […]

In 2007, William Petit watched as his wife and daughters were brutally raped and murdered. He shared even more shocking details in a new book. Now Dr Petit, 58, has revealed the details of what really happened on that fateful night in a new book, The Rising, Murder, Heartbreak, and the Power of Human Resilience in […]

First off, ewwwwwww. So, Ella, thought she had a simple blister. When antibiotics didn’t cure the seething pain, she went to the doctor to find out she was actually bitten by the “most venomous arachnid in Britain,” the False Widow! Without a moment to lose, the specialist shipped Ella off to William Harvey Hospital in […]

This is really both touching and heartbreaking at the same time. Though, I question the parent who instead of listening to what she had to say, was more concerned with recording it on her iPhone and posting in online… An adorable little girl’s words of wisdom have gone viral after her mother uploaded a video […]

A study from 2013 has resurfaced on the internet recently. You know how global changing warming climate cooling was causing the ice caps to melt? Apparently in this study, they were at their highest levels… The Washington Post reported that the ice was at levels not seen since record keeping began. “On Saturday, the ice […]

Losing a child is one of if not THE worst thing you can have happen, especially when the child is only just over a year old. Jennifer Tiner didn’t want the loss of her daughter Isabella to be in vain, especially when she knew it could help someone else… And after Bella felt that “it was […]

ELEVEN years. That’s how long this man didn’t know his true identity, after being beaten and left in a dumpster. Thankfully, he’s finally able to piece some of his life back together… The amnesiac has called himself Benjamin Kyle, or BK, since he was discovered in the Burger King dumpster, sunburned and severely injured, in […]

“The Thin Blue Line” posted a question on Facebook for folks on the job asking when they realized they wanted to join law enforcement. With all the negative press give to police these days, it was a needed reminder as to why people do this in the first place. Click this link to read some […]

This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Such a waste of perfectly good bourbon. Please join me in a moment of silence…

Contrary to what many pot smokers want you to believe, constant use of marijuana can lead to any number of health problems. Most recently on the list? Diabetes… Cannabis smokers are far more likely to develop the early stages of diabetes, according to new research. People who smoke marijuana were found to be 65 per […]

When you are a Top 10 player like Mashawn Lynch, you want your first drive to be memorable. You also want to stick it to idiots like me who didn’t draft you for his fantasy team. This my friends, is what you call “BEASTMODE!” On 3rd-and-1 from the Seahawks’ 29-yard line, Lynch got the ball and […]

Part of me thinks it’s pretty mean to put this up on YouTube in the first place. The other part of me thinks it’s adorable. To live in constant fear of your own shadow would be a terrible, horrifying experience. Welcome to this toddler’s every day. The adorable little girl, named Kiya according to the […]

I’m ok with moderate atheists who keep their non beliefs to themselves. It’s the radical atheist fundamentalists like this guy who are always pushing their non beliefs on everyone else that are problematic… A professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley tried to ban students from saying “God bless you” in class this semester. […]

Before you get upset, this is a school in the UK and NOT a school in the United States. The fact that this could have just as easily been a school in the United States too is a blog post for another time… A teacher working in a British classroom had pupils send handwritten letters to […]

This is really a great story, and one that’s needed to be heard. While we argue over #BlueLivesMatter vs. #BlackLivesMatter, here’s an example of when the two intersect… A North Carolina cop’s heartwarming Facebook post about his reunion with a man who tried to stab him last year has gone viral. Raleigh officer JD Boyd […]

If you are going to attack a cop, look around first. Actually, if you’re going to attack a cop…don’t. But if you insist on being a jerk, make sure there’s no one watching because a lot of Americans are sick and tired of the anti-police rhetoric in this country… Walsh gave chase and, after a […]

Zero tolerance policies in public schools are pretty ridiculous, but they’re not second-degree assault ridiculous. At least, they weren’t until now! I can’t even with this… 13-Year-Old To Be Criminally Charged For Acting Like A 13-Year-Old The teen years are pretty much the Age of Idiocy. Not always, but a lot of the time. This […]

There is a reasonable conversation to be had about when police should use force, what is considered excessive, and where that line was drawn. When you throw poop at the cop, all bets are off… An Australian woman was busted Tuesday after throwing a bag of dog feces at police officers, 7 News reported. The […]

I hate the phrase “free range parenting” almost as much as the fact that there even is a phrase called “free range parenting” in the first place. Eun Kim was shocked when the police called her because they found her son – get this – playing in the park by himself. Then came everyone’s opinions… “When […]

This crash is slightly more odd than the fact that it was all captured on video. It starts with a woman hopping out of a moving car that she was driving at the time… In the video posted to YouTube, the woman behind the wheel of the 2010 Hyundai Sonata exits the car and allows […]

Well, I can see how some will find this problematic and micro-aggressiony. No one with any common sense, of course.  Just the Obama Administration and other social justice warriors… All-male ground combat units in the Marines were faster, more lethal and less injured than units with mixed genders, according to a Marine Corps study that looked […]

This is a great story about “Angels in Disguise” and a woman named Kristianne Hurlbert, who suffers from “bone death.” She shared with us the time she fell in the shower… “Before I passed out, while he was holding me up, I watched my husband begging me not to do this to him again, begging me to […]

I’m trying not to judge here… Texas has what’s called a “Safe Haven Law,” where new parents can drop off their kids under two months at a hospital or fire station if they feel they can’t take care of them, no questions asked. One mother recently dropped off two kids – one nine-months, the other […]

Sometimes I read a story where the only thing I can think to say is, “What the *** is wrong with these people?” The picture you are looking at is a teenage girl sticking her toe in a baby’s mouth with emoticons. What the **** is wrong with people? A teenage girl has prompted outrage […]

In response to the recent targeting of police officers both in the street and on the media, some police departments have put “In God We Trust” on patrols cars. Not surprisingly, radical atheist fundamentalists have an issue with it… In fact, of the dozens of complaints about the decals lodged in recent months by the […]

This is disturbing…and puzzling. In a High School football game, two players appeared to take out a hit on the ref… With about one minute left in the game, two players from John Jay can be seen targeting a referee with one running into the back of the referee to knock him down, with the […]

What’s more embarrassing? Getting your @$$ kicked in front of your friends? Or having it happen in front of a JC Penny’s? Watch this video below.  You be the judge!

This really is remarkable. I don’t know if the kid had been practicing this move, or if this is the first time and someone happened to catch it on video, but I tip my hat to him! Slap

What possible issues in a person’s life leads them to not only want to kill their parents, but burn the house down with them in it? Two brothers in Atlanta tried, but were thankfully foiled because of their parent’s quick thinking… Yvonne Ervin dialed 911 from the family home in Snellville just before 8 a.m. to […]
