Police in California have seized 7,000 roosters during a raid on a cockfighting ring in Santa Clara Valley.

More than 100 cops raided the 29000 block of Jackson Street where they found the animals who were being forced to fight to the death.

Hundreds of ‘slashers’ which are strapped on the birds’ feet while they fight, syringes filled with steroids, guns and other drugs were found at the scene.

It is the largest seizure of illegal cockfighting roosters in United States history.

via KTLA:

Some 7,000 birds that had been used illegally were seized, authorities said at a Tuesday news conference at the sheriff’s downtown L.A. headquarters. Guns and illegal drugs were also seized. The Sheriff’s Department estimated the value of the seizure as between $350,000 and $10.5 million, depending on the widely ranging value of each bird.

More than 100 sheriff’s personnel and county animal control were part of the “dangerous tactical operation” in the 29000 block of Jackson Street, authorities said.

Detectives who specialized in “animal bloodsport crimes” worked for a month to investigate the cockfighting ring, sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Perry said. He described the seizure of illegal cockfighting roosters as the largest in U.S. history.

The identity of the property owner, who has been labeled as the “primary suspect”, has not been released, and he is not yet in custody.

According to police, the haul of seized birds is worth anywhere between $350,000 and $10.5 million, depending on the individual price of each one.


Vladimir Putin Net Worth 2017: How Much Is Russian President Worth Right Now

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is known for his expensive tastes, but did you know that he wasn’t born into money?

Putin was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) to a middle-class family and lived in a communal apartment in the city with two other families. He went from earning a university law degree in his early 20’s to becoming the most powerful leader in Russia, appointed as president in 1999.

As arguably the most powerful world figure, the Russian president’s net worth has been a source of speculation for years. The former KGB agent’s wealth can’t be precisely measured given his private assets, secret real estate, company holdings and other sources of income.

In 2007, Political analyst Stanslav Belkovsky’s estimated Putin’s fortune at $40 billion. In 2012, Belkovsky expanded on his estimation, saying that Putin may be worth around $70 billion as a result of investments in various companies, although some have claimed his approximations as unsubstantiated.

But those guesses don’t come close to the most recent estimation


Vladimir Putin’s Net Worth as of 2017: $~200 Billion

This estimate is far from confirmed, but it has been heavily researched by author Bill Browder, who made the claim in 2015 while appearing on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS.

“I believe that it’s $200 billion. After 14 years in power of Russia, and the amount of money that the country has made, and the amount of money that hasn’t been spent on schools and roads and hospitals and so on, all that money is in property, bank–Swiss bank accounts–shares, hedge funds, managed for Putin and his cronies,” Browder said.


1975-1991

In 1975, Putin joined the KGB, training at the 401st KGB school in Okhta, Leningrad. After completing his training, Putin worked in the Second Chief Directorate (counter-intelligence) before he was transferred to the First Chief Directorate where he monitored foreigners and consular affairs.

From 1985-1990, Putin used a cover identity while working as a translator in Dresden, East Germany. According to his official biography, he burned KGB filed to prevent demonstrators from getting them during the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

In 1991, amid the Soviet coup d’etat attempt against President Mikhail Gorbachev, Putin resigned from the KGB.

Following his resignation from the KGB, Putin became head of the Committee for External Relations of the Saint Petersburg Mayor’s Office. In this role, he was responsible for promotion international relations and foreign investments while registering business ventures. Within one year, Putin was under investigation by the city legislative council, which concluded that he had understated prices and permitted the export of metals valued at $93 million in exchange for foreign food aid that was never given.

Putin remain in this role until 1996 while also holding several other political and governmental position in Saint Petersburg.

From 1995 through 1997, Putin acted as leader of the Saint Petersburg branch of the Our Home is Russia political power. Later that year, President Boris Yelstin appointed him deputy chief of Presidential Staff.

In 1998, Yelstin appointed Putin as Director of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the primary intelligence and security organization of the Russian Federation and the successor of the KGB.


1999-Present

On August 9, 1999, President Yeltsin appointed Putin acting Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation. He also announced that he hoped to see Putin succeed him.

On December 31, 1999, Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned, making Putin the Acting President of Russia.

The first Presidential Decree that Putin signed that same day was titled “On guarantees for former president of the Russian Federation and members of his family”. This ensured that “corruption charges against the outgoing President and his relatives” would not be pursued by his administration.  In 2000, a criminal investigation was dropped in which Putin himself was one of suspects as a member of the Saint Petersburg city government. Later that year, yet another case against the prosecutor general was dropped “for lack of evidence”, in spite of thousands of documents passed by Swiss prosecution.

Putin officially won the Presidency in May 2000. In March 2004, he was elected to the presidency for a second term, receiving 71% of the vote. His approval ratings skyrocketed to more than 80% as Russia continued to recover from the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, Putin’s policies drew heavy criticisms from countless world leaders.

Due to the Russian Constitution, Putin was barred from a third term as President and First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was elected as his successor. Only one day after Medvedev was given the presidency, Putin was appointed Prime Minister of Russia, maintaining his political power.

In 2011, Medvedev officially proposed that Putin stand for a third term as President in 2012, which Putin accepted. His election generated the largest protests within Russia of Putin’s career. He allegedly organized a number of paramilitary groups loyal to himself to deal with the protests.

In 2012, Putin was officially elected as Russia’s president despite widespread allegations of voter-fraud. He has remained in this position ever since.

Baylor Hit With Another Title IX Lawsuit Over Alleged 2012 Gang Rape By Football Players

A former Baylor volleyball player filed a Title IX lawsuit against the school late Tuesday alleging she was gang raped by as many as eight football players, according to a filing obtained by the Waco Tribune.

It is the seventh Title IX lawsuit against the school that alleges as many as eight football players drugged and raped her in 2012.

What Happened?

In March, Baylor moved to dismiss a Title IX lawsuit that claimed 52 rapes were committed by 31 football players from 2011 to 2014.

“Baylor does not agree with or concede the accuracy of plaintiff’s 146-paragraph complaint and its immaterial and inflammatory assertions,” that motion said.

The university said they are trying to reach “an amicable resolution” in talks with the victims lawyers.

“Baylor has since initiated and structurally completed 105 wide-ranging recommendations in response to issues of sexual violence within our campus community, in addition to making changes within the university and athletics leadership and investing significantly in student support systems,” a statement from the university said.

According to the lawsuit, the football team saw widespread hazing of freshman recruits that included making them bring freshman females to parties to be drugged and gang raped. The lawsuit also claims that the rapes were videotaped and photographed and that there is a 21-second clip of the assault that the players shared amongst themselves.

In addition, the U.S. Department of Education is investigating the school for its response to sexual assaults.

Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton conducted an outside investigation which concluded that there were “institutional failures at every level” at Baylor in relation to responding to sexual violence on campus. Pepper Hamilton is also being sued for negligence and defamation by a former athletics staffer following his firing after the report came out.

Former head coach Art Briles was fired, athletic director Ian McCaw was suspended and resigned, and other department employees were dismissed following the Hamilton report.


Baylor University

Baylor University is a private Baptist university located in Waco, Texas. It was established in 1845 and is the oldest continuously-operating university in Texas. It is also the largest Baptist university in the world with a total enrollment of 16,787 students.

Baylor University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools but is currently on “warning” due to suspected non-compliance with SACS requirements, it is the least severe non-compliant status a university can be placed on.

Pyramid Fights

On May 13, Jordan Fowler faced off against Dylan Goforth at a Pyramid Fights event in Searcy, Arkansas. Fowler ensured that the amateur bout was over as soon as it started, dropping Goforth with a massive left kick to the head just four seconds into the fight.

Watch the knockout below, which set a new Arkansas state record.

“OH MY GOSH!!!” Blink and you could’ve missed that one. What an absolutely vicious kick to the right side of Goforth’s dome piece. I feel like I might have a second hand concussion just from watching all of those replays. I kept thinking I was going to see an angle where it didn’t look like Goforth almost got decapitated, but boy, was I ever wrong.

This is the image of an utterly vanquished foe.

Pyramid Fights

Poor Goforth. Homeboy has his hands in the air like he’s on the world’s saddest roller coaster. Congrats to Fowler on making history, and a special congrats to Goforth for not ending up in a body bag.

‘The Witcher’ is Coming to Netflix as a TV Series

The Witcher Netflix

Netflix announced Wednesday that it’ll be adapting “The Witcher” — the internationally popular book and video game franchise — into an English language drama series.

“The Witcher Saga” began as a series of fantasy novels written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. His series has since been translated into more than 20 languages. The stories normally follow Geralt of Rivia, a witcher (mutated monster hunter). As of now, the main series consists of five novels, several short stories and one standalone book.

There are also three “Witcher” video games, based on the book series and developed by CD Projekt Red, a Polish video game studio. The most recent game, “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” was released in 2015 and met with widespread praise.

Both the books and the games revolve around the relationship between Geralt and Ciri, a princess and witcher-in-training.

“I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing,” Sapkowski said in a statement. “I’m excited about our efforts together, as well as the team assembled to shepherd these characters to life.”

The stories showcase many familiar fantasy elements such as vampires, elves, ghosts, dragons and more.

“Andrzej Sapkowski has created a rich and memorable world, at once magical and familiar,” said Erik Barmack, Netflix Vice President of international series. “We couldn’t be more excited about bringing The Witcher saga to Netflix members around the world.”

Sapkowski will serve as a creative consultant on the series. Sean Daniel (The Mummy) and Jason Brown (The Expanse) are executive producers, along with Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko, who are from Platige Image, a Polisy production company.

“There is a moral and intellectual depth in these books which goes beyond genre. It is a story about today and today’s challenges, hidden under a fantasy cover. It is a story about us, about the monster and the hero inside all of our hearts,” Baginski and Sawko said.

A premiere date has not yet been announced.

Massachusetts Woman Arrested For DUI … Oh, And She Also Had A Bearded Dragon In Her Bra

via Taunton Police Department

Police in Massachusetts turned a bearded dragon lizard over to animal control officers after Amy Rebello-McCarthy, a woman suspected of drunken driving, revealed she had the animal stuffed in her bra.

Taunton, Massachusettes police said in a Facebook post that Rebello-McCarthy, 39, had a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit Tuesday when she drove off the road, smashing into several mailboxes. Her car hit six mailboxes before it left the roadway and went onto a lawn — flattening all four tires and ripping off both bumper — on Tuesday, May 16.

During an interview with police, officers said Rebello-McCarthy was drunk and admitted to drinking three drinks while also taking the methadone and gabapentin pills that she had been prescribed.

via NECN:

When police arrived and approached Rebello-McCarthy, they said she began laughing. She was also slurring her words and at times drooling. Before she was transported to the police station, she told police that she had a bearded dragon in her bra.

“You have to keep the lizard warm, they’re cold blooded. That’s why she carried it in her bra,” Cindy Berglund, another witness to the crash, said.

A man who was with her — who police said was also slurring his words — was found with what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon tucked in his waistband. The man was taken into protective custody. The gun turned out to be an airsoft gun, not a real firearm.

Rebello-McCarthy was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor, driving to endanger and a marked lane violation. The bearded dragon was given to a Taunton animal control officer.

According to records, this is not the first time Rebello-McCarthy has had a run-in with the law, as  Lt. Paul Roderick said  she has a long criminal record dating to the 1990’s. Rebello-McCarthy has been previously arrested for credit card fraud, larcenies and burglaries.

She has been arraigned 109 times in her adult life.

‘Arrested Development’ Will Return For Season 5 On Netflix

With it sounding like the price of Netflix is going to increase, it’s great news that there’s always money in the banana stand! It’s been officially announced today that Arrested Development will return for a fifth season on Netflix.

Here’s Deadline with all of the pertinent details.

The Season 5 pickup comes on the heels of star Jason Bateman announcing on Twitter that he had closed a deal to return to the Imagine TV/20th TV-produced series. The entire series regular cast of the Emmy-winning series including Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat — as well as creator/executive producer Mitch Hurwitz who has a deal at Netflix — have signed on for a fifth season, which will premiere on Netflix in 2018.

“In talks with Netflix we all felt that that stories about a narcissistic, erratically behaving family in the building business — and their desperate abuses of power — are really underrepresented on TV these days,” said Hurwitz. “I am so grateful to them and to 20th TV for making this dream of mine come true in bringing the Bluths, George Sr., Lucille and the kids; Michael, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, George-Michael, and who am I forgetting, oh Tiffany. Did I say Tiffany? — back to the glorious stream of life.”

That’s awesome that the whole cast is coming back, especially given how damn popular some of those actors have gotten since Arrested Development’s initial run. The critically acclaimed sitcom’s first three seasons aired on FOX from 2003-2006, and the fourth season of Arrested Development was released on Netflix in 2013.

It’s clear that it’s taken awhile for the fifth season to get confirmed, but I guess good things really do come to those who wait. Let’s get pumped up for Arrested Development’s return with a few classic clips.

Can You Believe They’re Actually Taking Former ‘Playboy’ Model Dani Mathers To Trial Over This Photo?

0

Last July, we brought you the story of Dani Mathers, a former Playboy playmate who was in some hot water over a body-shaming Snapchat photo.

Fast-forward almost a year, and Mathers, Playboy‘s 2015 Playmate of the Year, is set to face trial over the photo.

The photo in question, which you can see below, is of an unsuspecting woman taking a shower at a gym. The photo also had the caption, “If I can’t unsee this, you can’t either.” She then shared another photo with her hands over her mouth, as if to say she was going to be sick.

Now, almost a year later, a Los Angeles judge has denied Mather’s defense motion claiming the privacy law she’s charged with violating is too ambiguous to be constitutional.

Via NY Daily News:

Playboy model Dani Mathers’ eleventh-hour attempt to avoid trial in her peeping Tom case was a bust Monday. A Los Angeles judge denied the 30-year-old’s defense motion claiming the privacy law she’s charged with violating is too ambiguous to be constitutional.

Mathers is charged with secretly photographing a naked 70-year-old woman in a Los Angeles gym shower last year and posting the image on Snapchat. The image was posted along with a selfie of Mathers covering her mouth in mock horror and the insult caption, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either.”

Playboy‘s Miss May 2014 was charged with misdemeanor invasion of privacy under a California law that prohibits the secret recording or photographing of an “identifiable person” in a home, changing room or tanning booth without the subject’s consent. In her motion denied Monday, Mathers claimed the wording of the law is too fuzzy to be enforceable. Her argument focused on the definition of “identifiable person.”

The trial is tentatively set to begin May 26, the judge said.

While Mathers’ lawyers are arguing that the photo is of an “unidentifiable person,” Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer rationalized his decision to prosecute by saying that “body shaming is humiliating, with often painful, long-term consequences.”

“It mocks and stigmatizes its victims, tearing down self-respect and perpetuating the harmful idea that our unique physical appearances should be compared to air-brushed notions of ‘perfect.’ What really matters is our character and humanity,” Feuer said.

Look, I’m well woke to the fact that body shaming is no bueno, but seriously, trial? You can’t even remotely make out who the lady in the photograph is. Mathers already lost her job with Playboy, that’s punishment enough. Settle it out of court and move on with life.


Emily Ratajkowski Seems To Be Enjoying Cannes, Posts Hand Bra Photo To Instagram

The 70th annual edition of the famous Cannes Film Festival is currently underway, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a blistering hot photo of Emily Ratajkowski!? She’s obviously in Cannes, France for the film festival, as I cannot imagine there’s an event on this planet that Emily wouldn’t be invited to. There’s no need to crash parties when you look like this, folks.

Instagram Photo

Great googly moogly. Short-haired Emily Ratajkowski plays for keeps! I’ve never seen her with such short hair, but it’s quite evident that she can pull if off.

Just another textbook example of why hand bras are the very best kind of bras. They look sexy as all hell, and they save women a boatload of money in the long run. I highly doubt Emily is strapped for dough, but a penny saved is a penny earned.

Today is just the first day of the Cannes Film Festival, as it will run from May 17 through May 28. And because I’m a journalist of the people, I’ll be sure to keep you abreast (pun most definitely intended) with Emily’s Instagram adventures in Cannes.

Donald Trump Gives Commencement Speech At Coast Guard Academy Graduation

0

In the midst of the most tumultuous week of his Presidency (which is hilarious, given that it’s only been a couple of months), Donald Trump gave the commencement speech at the Connecticut Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony, and naturally, he used it as an opportunity to defend, gloat, bloviate, and blast. In essence, it was a typical Donald Trump speech.

Speaking at this year’s Coast Guard commencement address in New London, Connecticut, Trump took the time to brag about his own administration and defend himself from his latest mishaps. He went so far as to say that “no politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.’

“You can’t let them get you down. You can’t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams. I guess that’s why I won,” he said.

Trump used the rest of his speech to opine about his border wall, the ‘great healthcare’ bill his party is working on, and the large tax cuts he’s been promising, having earlier bragged that aircraft carriers would be built ‘under budget and ahead of schedule’ in his administration.

“I’ve loosened up the strangling environmental chains wrapped around our country and our economy, chains so tight that you couldn’t do anything, that jobs were going down, we were losing business. We are loosening it up.”

‘We’ve begun plans and preparations for the border wall, which is going along very, very well.’

The speech comes in during Trump’s most controversial week as President. Between the firing of James Comey and his leaking of intelligence to Russian Officials, Trump’s approval rating currently sits at 38%.

In fact, things have gotten so dire for Trump that US Congressman are now calling for his impeachment, as Texas Congressman Al Green did in a formal announcement.

At this point, it seriously wouldn’t surprise me if Donnie Freedom didn’t make it through his first year.

Halle Berry Strips Down For Nina Simone Tribute, Gets Called ‘Desperate Tramp’

It seems like women can do no right these days in the public eye. On one hand, we require nearly all actresses to sexualize themselves to get ahead in Hollywood. On the other, we immediately body and slut shame any star that dares to even remotely offend our delicate sensibilities. Basically, fame is a no-win scenario for these starlets, as Halle Berry can tell you.

The former Oscar-winner stripped down to pay tribute to iconic singer/activist Nina Simone on Instagram on Tuesday, only to draw the wrath of haters with too much time on her hand. One comment went so far as to call her a “desperate tramp.” I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a bit harsh for what amounted to a very tasteful sexy picture.

Instagram Photo

As you can see, the clothing-free Berry is almost completely obscured by a glass door. I’ve seen worse images scribbled onto bathroom stalls.

Accompanying the pic is a quote from Simone.

“I’ll tell you what is freedom to me. No fear. #NinaSimone,” Berry wrote.

Despite the positive notion of the post, the Internet quickly busted out its digital pitchforks and torches. One user with the handle “thasmartchick” hit Berry with the aforementioned “Desperate tramp” insult.

The post attracted other nonsensical critics as well. One user said, “So sad when women use their bodies to seek attention. Women are so much more that than and that’s where our freedom is. Free to be intelligent, interesting, talented, mothers, friends, wives and so much more than TnA. Pathetic really.”

Another wrote simply, “Sinner woman…”

On behalf of all of us rational individuals, I’d like to take this opportunity to say to each and every one of these haters: kindly go f— yourselves.

Keep doing your thing, Halley. We’re big fans.

Malia Obama Photos: Must-See Pictures of Barack Obama’s Daughter

A few weeks back it was reported that the individual investigated for allegedly stalking Malia Obama in Manhattan will not be charged.

Via WNBC:

“Jair Nilton Cardoso appeared at locations where the elder daughter of the 44th president was interning on April 10, 11 and 12, the sources said. In the first instance he even slipped past security at a building in Tribeca, got to the fourth floor and begged Malia to marry him, according to the sources.”

On April 18, the Secret Service reported the instances to the New York Police Department. The 30-year-old Cardoso was required to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Police did book “Jair Nilton Cardoso for stalking and harassment,” TMZ reported. However, authorities decided against charges as “Cardoso never posed a verbal or physical threat because he never got any closer than standing outside the office.”

Following a gap year, Malia will attend Harvard University starting in the fall. She graduated from DC’s Sidwell Friends School in 2016.

 

 

LaVar Ball Goes On ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd,’ Tells Kristine Leahy To “Stay In Your Lane”

The Herd with Colin Cowherd/Frankie Vision

LaVar Ball went on The Herd with Colin Cowherd today, and he must’ve let the news of the Los Angeles Lakers having the second overall pick in the upcoming draft get to his head. But then again, when does LaVar need a reason to act like a total dickhead? During his interview, he was a world-class jerk to co-host Kristine Leahy over perfectly reasonable questions.

The whole interview is fascinating and worth listening to in full, but Ball snaps at Leahy for the first time at roughly the six-minute mark. You can check out audio of the whole interview or watch video clips of Ball going at Leahy.

Asking how many pairs of those dumbass ZO2s LaVar has sold is the question on everybody’s mind, so I don’t see why he got so damn defensive. Ball doing that high-pitched voice was so f*cking disrespectful it made my blood boil.

And this is the jackass that’s going to have a sneaker empire??? Being a condescending prick and saying that he doesn’t want anything to do with a market that represents approximately 50% of the population doesn’t seem like the best way to accomplish that.

The other major lowlight in the interview was LaVar doubling down on his idiotic statement that he could beat Michael Jordan one-on-one (8:05). Forget Mayweather/McGregor, I need Ball/Jordan in the worst way. Nothing on this planet would make me happier than watching MJ wipe that smug grin off that egomaniac’s face.

Bob Carter Cause of Death: How Did Bob Carter Die?

Bob Carter

Bob Carter, the father of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter and younger brother Aaron, died Tuesday night in Florida. He was 65.


Bob Carter Cause of Death

Few details are known about Carter’s death, but it was believed to be sudden and unexpected as both of his sons performed at the Wango Tango concert in Los Angeles Saturday and were not by his side in Florida.

Aaron, 29, posted on social media upon hearing the tragic news.

Carter, 65, was known to have had a strenuous relationship with his son Nick. He also had three daughters including Leslie Carter who died in 2012 of a suspected pill overdose.

Nick, 37, also took to Twitter to address the passing of his father.

 

Nick has been estranged from both of his parents Bob and June after long-standing family friction and revealed in 2015, “I haven’t seen them in maybe seven or eight years.”

He revealed this to his bandmates during the making of their documentary “The Backstreet Boys: Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of.”

“It was a house full of fear for me. We would be little kids and we would hear mom and dad screaming at each other.”

“They’d constantly be drinking and fighting and we’d hear guns go out the window shooting. Not shooting at each other.”

“They always fought over money,” he added.

Things only worsened when both Nick and Aaron found success as musical acts. Jane managed Aaron and was accused of stealing money from him when the family agreed to separate interviews with 20/20 in 2015.

“Every show we did, we would probably make about maybe $40,000, $50,000 a show. And it was all gone,” Aaron said.

Aaron distanced himself from his mother, but it appears as if he stayed in touch with his father over the years.

Samuel Lancelotta, a Baltimore real estate company owner, has been accused of murdering his wife, Beth, and then himself in their home, according to the police. They were both 48 years old. The couple’s three children were all home during the altercation.

One of Lancelotta’s teenage sons made the call to 911 upon finding his parents.

What Happened?

The Howard County Police Department released a statement saying that they believe Lancelotta shot and killed his wife before then taking his own life. The motive at this time is unknown, and they were found in the backyard of their Maryland home. The couple was reportedly rushed to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center where they were pronounced dead.

Sherry Llewllyn, the police spokeswoman, said that were no other indications that anyone else was involved. A handgun was recovered at the scene of the murder. According to the detectives on the case, the shooting took place in the backyard of their home on May 15th around 10:40 P.M. All three children were believed to be at home while this took place.

The Lancellotas’ ran an extremely successful real estate company that handled at least $1 billion worth of developments. He was the general manager of Lancellota Real Estate, as well as a partner at Premier Medical Management. Beth was a dental hygienist in the area, along with working for the real estate company. The couple were very well known in the community

The motivation behind this apparent murder-suicide is unclear. The murder-suicide is considered unexpected as Lancellota was quite active on his Facebook page and was often posting pictures with his wife.

The police have stated that the Lancellotas’ three teenage sons are now with relatives.


From Russia With Trump Memes: Funny Photos, Best Images & Jokes

0

Oh boy, Trump and Russia, huh? There are rumors spreading like wildfire suggesting that Trump and Putin had a pact to meddle with the 2016 US Presidential election. Two rumors combined into one and screamed across the stratosphere of speculation. Both of these accusations at the present moment can’t be backed up by fact because there hasn’t been a proper investigation into the matter nor have the accusing party themselves provided any proof except for the venom in their voice.


But hey, politics is bullsh*t, right? Who gives a f**k about all those headaches when you got these kick-ass memes to dive into. No matter your opinion on Trump, you’ll probably love to flip through these memes. And if you’re triggered at any moment, just take it as a bit of ironic humor to tinker with your puritan mind.

Is Trump tied with Russia? I don’t know, maybe. Speculation has taken over objective fact nowadays. But this speculation has also provided us with some dank memes. And that’s pretty dope.


Despite all this talk of collusion with Russia, Trump still held a meeting in the White House last week with Russian diplomats. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak spoke with Trump on Wednesday, May 10th. Lavrov has denied Russia’s alleged involvement in the 2016 US Presidential Election. Meanwhile, current and former US officials have accused Sergey Kislyak of being a spy and a recruiter of spies, something that Russian officials have denied. The President described this meeting as being “very, very good.”

Just fantastic!


Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Ottawa Senators Game 3 Live Stream: How To Watch NHL Playoffs Online

0

A late goal in the third period helped the Penguins take away game two and the Senators are looking to retake the series lead in Ottawa. Hopefully this game is a lot more eventful. Game two did not have much scoring or action, just a back and forth of two equally-matched teams. All credit has to go to Andre Fleury and Craig Anderson, for the standstill in that game was caused by the awesomeness and skill of those two goalies. However, Phil Kessell, who had a hot temper the whole game, was able to score to help the Penguins even out the series. The next two games will be played in Ottawa, so get ready for some more great playoff hockey.

The Penguins were not happy with the overtime loss in game one at home and were sure as hell not going to go to Ottawa without tying up the series. That being said, Pittsburgh had some close calls in game two that could have gone the Senators’ way. The whole game just seemed a like a deadlock between both teams, with not much action happening in either zone. These two teams played great defense and offense, but if the Penguins want to win this series they really have to go the extra mile. Fleury is a great goalie, but the biggest error is to put all of the pressure on his back to win them games. If game one showed us anything, it is that if the Penguins play sloppy, then Fleury suffers. I will say they have tightened up a lot of the issues that were apparent in the series vs. the Capitals, but the Penguins need to break past the Senators’ defense in order to win this series.

Even though the Senators lost in game two, it was not a crushing defeat and they still did play some amazing hockey. The biggest pro and con about the Senators is that they are a very defensive team. Ottawa waits patiently for a moment to strike and go on the offensive, which helped them win their series against the Bruins and the Rangers. With great defensemen and a good goalie, this team can wait for their moment to strike and that strategy helped them win game one. In game two, however, it came back to bite them in the ass, as the moment never really came for them. Even with a minute to go in the game and with their goalie pulled, they were still playing defensively rather than trying to tie up the game. In game three, the Senators really need to strike harder and put more pressure on the Penguins if they want to win their next two home games.

Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Game 1 Live Stream: How To Watch NBA Playoffs Online

After a huge victory over the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics now have the ultimate task of taking on the defending champs, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Home court advantage lies with the Celtics, who will get to play the first two games of this series at the TD Garden.

The two teams’ paths to the Eastern Conference Finals have been quite different. The Cavaliers are currently 8-0 in the playoffs and well rested to say the least. The Celtics are coming off two grueling series where they’ve won 4-2 and 4-3, respectively. Boston is hoping to carry that momentum into the first game.

Handing Cleveland their first loss in the playoffs is going to be easier said than done, but playing at home to kick things off will definitely help. LeBron James has seemed completely unstoppable at times during these playoffs, and the rest of the team is riding the wave. With James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love in the mix, the Cavaliers are a matchup nightmare and have depth coming in off the bench.

The Celtics have played consistently better at home after going 4-0 at the TD Garden against the Wizards. Boston will need their surrounding cast to play flawless in order to accomplish the upset. We’re looking at Kelly Olynyk after he somehow proved to be the hero of game seven with 26 points out of nowhere. Isaiah Thomas will have to find ways to keep doing what he’s been doing especially lining up, most likely, against Irving.

With the stage set for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals, here’s all the ways to watch the Cavaliers battle the Celtics.

Two Wisconsin Teens Climbed The Golden Gate Bridge, Posted Video To YouTube

Peter Teatime’s YouTube

Wisconsin teens Peter Teatime and Tommy Rector have brass balls and climbing skills that I can only dream of. The two daredevils were somehow able to climb to the top of the 746-foot Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.

They posted a video to YouTube of their stunt, which is not for the faint of heart. Check out the wild footage below.

Jesus, teenagers are crazy these days. Whatever happened to a good, old fashioned game of ding dong ditch to get the blood flowing? I feel like if you can’t get killed and/or arrested, teens want nothing to do with it anymore. Those guys were dangling off that goddamn bridge like Forrest Gump chilling from a tree.

Perhaps the most insane part of this whole ordeal is that Teatime and Rector were able to get pass the security measures in the first place. Authorities didn’t even know these kids were on the Golden Gate Bridge until their YouTube video went viral. I guess Donald Trump’s dumbass revealed that confidential information also.

Here’s the HuffPost with more.

Denis Mulligan, general manager of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, called the climbers’ behavior “reckless” and said they could have done “serious harm” to motorists below had they fallen. “The Golden Gate Bridge is not an amusement park ride,” he said, per Curbed.

Teatime and Rector escaped detection on the landmark because motion sensors and cameras were not targeting where they were, Mulligan said.

An investigation that includes Homeland Security is ongoing, the San Mateo Daily Journal reported Wednesday. Climbing the bridge is punishable by up to a year in jail, the Journal said.

A Golden Gate Bridge amusement park ride would be pretty sweet, though. Make it happen, Disney!

Hakeem and Anika subsequently discover that their daughter has been removed from state custody, and the Lyons realize that they must unite as a family to win her back. Lucious and Jamal continue to fight over the direction of their respective albums. Andre goes to kill Anika, but spares her out of pity for Bella. Hakeem’s online followers stage a public demonstration against the DuBois family. Leah reminds Lucious that he can’t be a good father since he isn’t even a good person. She later brings him a box of mementos from his father, comparing his death with what might have happened if Jamal hadn’t been shot. The two men reconcile and record their first song together. Cookie has Shine and his men abduct and torture Angelo for Bella’s location, but it fails. In turn, Diana reveals that she has adopted Bella as a DuBois.
