Supreme Court Rules Trump Can Keep Travel Ban

Supreme Court Rules Trump Can Keep Travel Ban: The Supreme Court has granted a Trump administration request to continue to bar most refugees under its travel ban. Hey, I got an idea for a travel ban. How about a travel ban which would prevent Trump from galavanting all over the country to play golf every weekend at taxpayer expense?

Man Ejected from Bar Tosses Molotov Cocktails: As if the hurricane wasn’t bad enough, police say a man who was angry about being thrown out of a Florida bar, came back and tossed Molotov cocktails made from beer bottles into the establishment. The man denied it, but the bartender told police no one inside the bar was ordering Molotov cocktails.

Sitting Too Long Can Cause Early Death: A new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that no matter how much you exercise, sitting for excessively long periods of time is a risk factor for early death. So, next time a neighbor tells you “come on in and sit a spell,” you better ask them “what are you trying to do, kill me?”

Study Probes Why People Believe Conspiracy Theories: A new study found that People who frequently endorsed conspiracy theories were more likely to believe they possessed scarce and secret information which most others do not. Of course, I’m not necessarily sure it’s a positive thing when the only others in possession of that “secret information” you possess - are people who’ve been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

3D-Printed Rocket Engine Succeeds in First Test Fire: An innovative new “aerospike” rocket engine constructed entirely by 3D printing has been fired by engineers in Melbourne, Australia. A 3D-Printed Rocket Engine? It’d be just my luck I’m taking off to the moon and it suddenly runs out of ink.

Man With Cancer Takes Herbal Pills With Cyanide for 5 Years: When a 67-year-old Australian man went in for surgery, doctors were unable to operate because his blood oxygen levels were well below safe levels - after which doctors determined the reason was the man had been taking potent apricot supplements for his prostate cancer the past 5 years - which are full of cyanide. While I don’t know the man and I’m certainly no doctor, but I can only assume his reasoning was something like apricots never get cancer?

Equifax Hack Compromised Personal Data of 143 Million: In what could be one of the largest data breaches in US history, consumer credit score provider Equifax said personal details including social security numbers and birthdates of as many as 143 million U.S. consumers were compromised by hackers between May and July. The good news is, the New York Times is reporting quite a few Equifax execs were able to sell off millions of dollars of their Equifax stock before news of the hack became public and stock prices fell dramatically. After all, it’d be a damn shame if their personal wealth dropped and it negatively impacted their credit scores.

Belgian Man Learns Wife of 19-Years Was Born a Man: A Belgian man expressed shock after learning that his wife of 19 years was actually born a man, claiming that she was always quite feminine, but says now he understands why she couldn’t iron. Now that you mention it, I imagine they probably have quite a few things that need to be “ironed out” between them.

Biggest Asteroid Ever Detected by NASA Flies Past Earth: The largest asteroid ever recorded by NASA recently passed Earth at a distance of 145 million miles - although classified as “potentially hazardous,” it will not pass by earth again until the year 2500. Wow, that’s a relief. Hell, by 2500, everyone alive today will be long dead anyway, with the possible exception of Keith Richards.

Massive Black Hole Discovered Near Heart of Milky Way: Astronomers say they’ve found evidence of an enormous black hole, one hundred thousand times more massive than the sun, in a gas cloud near our galaxy’s center. Scientists say that while its always exciting to make new astronomical discoveries, its pretty obvious from the images that the quality on this black hole was way down - they’re just not making them like they did 20 years ago.

Madonna Reveals to Fans She’s Moved to Portugal: Madonna has informed her fans on social media that she’s relocated to Portugal for the foreseeable future, with the 59-year-old star adding that she moved there after falling in love with the “energy.” Well, I suppose if she ever gets bored in Portugal, she can always buy herself a few more orphans - assuming Angelina Jolie hasn’t already snatched them all up.

Evangelical Leaders Blaming Gays for Hurricane Harvey: LGBTQ Americans have caused the country billions of dollars in structural damage, killed dozens of people, and displaced thousands more from their homes, according to evangelical figures who are claiming gay people caused Hurricane Harvey. Really? While I’m no meteorologist, I get a sense that even with Hurricane Harvey’s 140 MPH wind gusts, the storm would still have a hard time competing with these windbags.

Rare September Rainstorm Hits Los Angeles Area: Heaven help us! It's actually raining here in Calabasas (West San Fernando Valley in LA) in September. What kind of crazy, mixed up world are we living in anyway? Those people in Houston think they've got it bad, why people here in LA are getting their hair all wet and ruining hairdos everywhere I look. Oh, the humanity!

North Korea Appears to Have Conducted a Nuclear Test: The U.S Geological Survey said it has recorded a 5.6 magnitude earthquake in North Korea from an area known as a nuclear test site, which South Korean authorities say appears to be artificial - consistent with a nuclear test. Military experts say this was clearly either a nuclear test, or North Korean leader Kim Jong un has finally taken a long-anticipated bowel movement.

Trump Walks Back Donating Personal Money for Harvey Relief: Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump would donate $1 million of his “personal money” to Hurricane Harvey victims, but now its beginning to look like the money will actually come from the coffers of the Trump Foundation. Wow, if the money comes from the Trump Foundation, isn’t that like saying we’re giving money to the Hurricane Harvey relief fund and the Russians are gonna pay for it?

Radio Signals Detected from Galaxy 3Bn Light Years Away: Astronomers say they have detected 15 powerful, repeated radio pulses coming from a mysterious dwarf galaxy 3 billion light years away from Earth which scientists say could be emanating from black holes, neutron stars or possibly even aliens. Good grief, now that we’ve been contacted by a “Dwarf Galaxy,” next thing you know we’ll be getting signals from a galaxy populated with nothing but basketball players. When you think of it like that, the possibilities seem endless.

Pastors Say God Punishing Texas for Not Passing Anti-Trans Bathroom Bill: Several pastors this week have been claiming Hurricane Harvey is God’s way of punishing Houston for not passing an Anti-Trans Bathroom Bill and for having “a very, very aggressively pro-homosexual mayor.” Wait a minute - Canada passed laws protecting gay and trans rights. Makes you wonder, what the hell does Canada need to do to get noticed by the almighty?

Kim Kardashian Says Daughter Would Make Better President: In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, reality star Kim Kardashian expressed strong feelings about Donald Trump's presidency, claiming that her daughter would make a better president. Political experts say that while that statement is basically true, her daughter’s presidency would not be valid for the entire country, but only the North West.

Four Earth-sized Exoplanets May Have Large Quantities of Water: Scientists say four of seven mysterious worlds orbiting a nearby star named Trappist-1, might very well have large quantities of water, offering a tantalizing boost to the possibility of finding life beyond our solar system. I’m not so sure about the alien life, but this sure sounds like great news for bottled water companies as well as those who enjoy taking long showers. As for me, I think I’ll just stay here on Earth. I tend to get bored on long trips, especially the ones that take over 159,000 years.

Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads: Providing new evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Facebook disclosed it has identified more than $100,000 worth of divisive ads on hot-button issues purchased by a shadowy Russian company linked to the Kremlin. It’s getting so bad that if Facebook accepts any more bogus ads, they’ll have to start calling themselves “Fakebook.”
