It might seem like a silly thing to mention, but if you’re homeless and impoverished it might be worth checking around to make sure you don’t have some forgotten bank account with mountains of cash in it. As it turns out, that is exactly what John Helinski discovered when a dedicated case worker and a […]

A 36-year-old Indiana woman apparently decided to fake her pregnancy, and kidnap someone else’s child to raise as her own. And so, she posed as a social worker to lure a new mom into her home, where she then murdered the mother, and stole the baby. (I’m not sure, but I think there is a specific level […]

Philadelphia… The city of brotherly love. Apparently, some women at a Zara clothing store don’t seem to understand the meaning of Philly’s tagline. At least five aggressive shoppers got into a brawl on Friday afternoon, causing quite a scene in the middle of the popular retail outlet. At least five women got into a large-scale […]

In the middle of an interview with Bloomberg Politics, former US Ambassador John Bolton did what John Bolton does best: Articulate a firm grasp of the obvious. (And, really, I don’t mean that as an insult.) With clarity and brevity, the former Ambassador highlighted the single largest problem Obama has when discussing the Iranian nuclear […]

I’m sure this will be another one of those things that President Obama learns about in the news. A former intern on his reelection campaign is conducting a hunger strike in front of the White House, over harassment and discrimination that she experienced in the 2012 election cycle. (Then again, this isn’t quite as sensational […]

Often times we forget about the innovators and entrepreneurs that dedicate themselves to simply making the world a better place for the less fortunate. Something as simple as footwear can be a challenge in some corners of the impoverished world, and Kenton Lee has dedicated himself to finding a solution. Sometimes the most simple invention […]

Police investigating a shooting in Troy, Alabama stumbled across a disturbing video of party-goers ignoring a gang-rape on a spring break beach in Florida. The details of the video seem to verify that there is, in fact, no punishment too severe for certain criminal behavior. The rape occurred in broad daylight, during spring break, on Panama […]

Most of us have seen the footage of Kennedy being shot. Or of Ronald Reagan being thrown into the back of a car as agents overwhelmed his would-be assassin. But what, precisely, do you know about Lincoln’s assassination? Well, there might not be any video, but there are eye witness accounts that were written down […]

It’s not just chivalry that is dying… As it turns out, basic everyday manners are also becoming a thing of the past. Passengers taking public transportation received an unexpected shaming when their driver decided to make a point about common courtesy by offering a woman and her child his seat. A bus driver makes a […]

Well, here’s your feel-good story of the day: A 63 year old Army veteran has finally achieved his dream of owning his own home, thanks to a charitable initiative by Bank of America. (Evil corporations, right?) Joseph Cummings was invited into his new home for the first time on Friday in Pearland, Texas. Cummings, a […]

Hillary Clinton didn’t just have her own private email service, it looks like she also had her own secret intelligence operation working in Libya. Of course, Hillary probably just set up her own clandestine spy operations for the same reason she set up her own private email server: “Convenience”. Starting weeks before Islamic militants attacked the […]

Remember how liberals promised to boycott Chick-Fil-A because the owner is personally opposed to gay marriage? Well… Apparently the rest of America didn’t get the memo. Despite the objections of the left, the demand for the company’s chicken has pushed it to open a slew of new stores: Despite the occasional negative press, Chick-Fil-A’s franchises […]

It’s always worth recognition when a liberal like Bill Maher accidentally stumbles into the realm of logical thought. During the Friday show of HBO’s “Real Time”, Maher had one of those fleeting moments of clarity when he blasted the politically-correct left for their intellectual intolerance. Maher began by talking about the boycott of Dolce & Gabbana, […]

After Alicia Watkins served proudly in Iraq and Afghanistan, she retired from the Air Force only to find herself living on the streets. But with a little recognition from Oprah, some help from a family friend, and self-determination, Watkins is now attending Harvard and helping her fellow veterans with the Wounded Warrior project. In 2010, […]

It turns out that being a criminal carries certain occupational hazards when there are armed citizens nearby. A would-be bank robber in Georgia discovered this truth of life when his plans were interrupted by an armed military veteran. An alert customer noticed when 25-year-old Mark Katchem slipped a note to a Wells Fargo bank teller, […]
