I often wonder, sometimes late at night, what dogs think of all day. They walk around the same house they’ve lived in for years, smelling the same smells, eating the same food, and yet when someone they love comes home, its as if they’re falling in love for the first time. When dogs bark, are they trying to tell us something, or just making a noise like a lion’s roar or the “blub blub” of a Japanese fighting fish. Perhaps our dogs think of secret schemes to grab treats from our cabinets and we come home to find no trace of this elaborate canine caper.
If you enjoy dogs and have one nearby, I highly suggest giving that pupper a treat and a good pet session, and while you do, here’s what you missed in the news yesterday.
Fake News! Oh, Yeah? Which One?
It was this exact question that left White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders completely dumbfounded during a press briefing on Monday. Earlier that day, President Trump smelled the roses, dm’d Putin, and of course, sent out a tweet:
“There is a great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & oblivious hostility & report the news accurately and fairly.”
–President Donald Trump on Twitter
For the first time, the media clapped back at the President’s accusations by questioning which news sources represent his “fake news” mantra. CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Sarah Sanders which outlet she and the President regard as “the enemy of the people?” Sanders responded to this request by saying that she had no interest in walking through this list, but the individual outlets know who they are.
Liberal media outlets jumped at Sander’s inability to back up the President’s rhetoric. The administration has famously chided the media for putting forth any information that would otherwise paint a less than pretty picture of President Trump. Media outlets like CNN, who lean more to the left in their reporting, are a personal favorite disregard for the President.
Red Air Force Cup, I Drink You Up
Lawmakers are furious with their recent discovery detailing the US Air Force and its thousands of dollars spent over the last three years on drinking cup technology. Reports surfaced this past summer that the 60th Ariel Port Squadron at Travis Air Force Base had spent $1,280 on each coffee cup in 2018, according to CNN.
“Unfortunately, when dropped, the handle breaks easily leading to the expenditure of several thousand dollars to replace the cup as replacement parts are not available.”
–U.S. Air Force Official Statement
I don’t think the issue for the American people stems from our concern for the durability of Air Force coffee cups, but more so, what kind of cup costs over $1000 each, and if these wonderful, platinum fancy space cups are so expensive, whey are we wasting money on them?
Mamma Mia, That’s A Spicy Murder!
We’ve all had those days where we’re so hungry, we feel like we could metaphorically kill someone, right? Metaphorically? Well, a 39-year-old woman in San Francisco, California, was so hungry that she fatally beat a man over a slice of pizza on Monday. According to police reports, Harvey Grosser, 65, was beaten repeatedly with a metal cane by Jamila Moore, and suffered a skull fracture, ultimately leading to his untimely death.
Moore was arrested on suspicion of murder and inflicting injury on an elder. I wonder if she ever finished the slice of pizza after all that.
