Oliver gives Thea a video of Robert asking her to look after the former. Meanwhile, Rene refuses to testify in Zoe’s court in order not to upset her, leading to the judge dismissing his claim. In flashbacks, Oliver and Anatoli return to Lian Yu, where they arrange for Oliver’s return to Starling City.

Meanwhile, Gloria looks further into Maurice’s case and discovers that Ray is his parole officer, and she goes to question him. She makes the connection of the name Stussy being shared by Ennis and Ray. After Ray’s superiors are tipped off by Sy about his relationship with Nikki, he is fired. St. Cloud policewoman Winnie Lopez (Olivia Sandoval), who is investigating the hit-and-run committed by Sy, goes to question him, as the car was registered to Emmit’s firm. Sy acts very suspiciously, as Varga’s men watch him. Lopez then encounters Gloria and reveals to her that Emmit lives in Eden Prairie, emphasizing the slight difference in addresses, the similarities in the two names and that Emmit and Ray are brothers. Gloria is convinced that it needs further investigation.

“The House of Special Purpose” Preview

SHOCKER: Jimmy Fallon Feels Guilty About Humanizing Donald Trump

$

via NBC

In the latest edition of ‘Hey, Jimmy Fallon, No F*cking Shit Dude, That’s Why You Can’t Pander To Anyone & Everyone Like A Laughing-Gas Filled Child’, Jimmy Fallon was reportedly ‘devastated’ by the intense reaction to his Trump interview.

Look, by all accounts, Jimmy Fallon is an excellent dude, but I’m kind of glad this is happening to him, given he’s being buried in a grave that he dug himself. Let me explain.

Even since Trump took office, Stephen Colbert and The Late Show have unseated Fallon’s The Tonight Show as the number 1 late night talk show. The reason — most likely — is that in these trying times, people want a little more bite and authenticity from their late night host. Fallon has built his career on the opposite.

So, ever since his Trump interview from January 2016, the affability that made him so famous and successful is now turning some viewers off. And in an interview with the New York Times, Fallon has finally admitted he regrets the way he handled the situation, saying he’s ‘devastated’ by it.

via NYT:

“I go, I just can’t read Twitter,” he said. “Then I can’t read the news. I can’t read the internet.”

Speaking in a quiet, tentative tone, Mr. Fallon seemed to be reliving the experience as he recounted it.

“I’m a people pleaser,” he said. “If there’s one bad thing on Twitter about me, it will make me upset. So, after this happened, I was devastated. I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just trying to have fun.”

Mr. Fallon feels he has lost the opportunity to explain himself to disappointed viewers. “I feel like it’s sailed,” he said. “I haven’t talked about it at all.”

Ultimately, Mr. Fallon concluded that his only recourse is to keep doing the show he has been doing. “I tossed and turned for a couple of weeks, but I have to make people laugh,” he said. “People that voted for Trump watch my show as well.”

And that’s what Fallon gets for trying to please everybody, to be as neutral as possible. Had Fallon had the foresight to see what kind of disaster Trump winning would be, he wouldn’t be in the position in the first place.

Strange Man From Florida Smooches A Rattlesnake And Gets More Than He Bargained For

A Florida man decides to kiss a rattlesnake and got a lot more than a peck on the cheek. I’m sure many of us have done our fair share of stupid sh*t, but I’m hoping that very few of us actually do something as idiotic as kiss a poisonous snake.

This guy from Putnam County found himself lying in a hospital bed after his encounter with a wild snake. Charles Goff said he saw this two people playing with the rattlesnake. “The next morning before I got up, they were playing with the snake,” Goff said. “One boy said, ‘I’m going to kiss it in the mouth,’ and the snake bit him in the face.”

“Ron was just acting silly, you know?” Goff said. “I guess he said he could kiss the devil and get away with it, but evidently he didn’t.”

Well, it looks like this snake kissed back with plenty of venom. Stories like this make you wonder “Who do I blame for people being this stupid?” Should we blame the media, the schools, celebrities, politicians, Donald Trump? Who? But maybe that guy learned from this ordeal and won’t kiss any venomous snakes in the future.

Once that unfortunate fella we bitten, the rattle snake escaped. It slithered through Putnam County. Who knows where that poisonous snake is headed next?

“So the snake is still out here running around somewhere,” he said.

He was flown to a nearby hospital via helicopter on Tuesday, where he was reported to be in critical condition. He is doing a lot better and is expected to pull through and make it home. Luckily, this snake bite won’t be fatal for Mr. Reinold.

Experts told Action News Jax that Ron Reinold’s snakebite was probably extremely painful. He was bitten right on the tongue. Ouch! Sorry to hear about that, bub. Next time don’t smooch a snake!

This rattlesnake story is bringing to mind the adorable tale of “a 17-foot python who found his way home.” I wrote that yarn in the Weird News article on Sunday. It’s the fourth oddball story in the list, but really all of them are just fantastic!

Even Amy Schumer’s Boyfriend Doesn’t Like Amy Schumer Anymore

Is this Amy Schumer vitriol a little overplayed by now? Ya, lil’ bit. But do I still find it hilarious to slam the joke stealing fraud that she is? Yes — very much.

So, if you haven’t heard, Amy Schumer has followed up her sky-rocket 2015 and 2016 with a nose dive in 2017.

First, she got caught stealing a joke from none other than Dave Chappelle, arguably the world’s greatest living stand-up comedian. Then just a couple of days later, she was busted for stealing jokes from Zach Galifianakis.

Then, maybe worst of all, her Netflix special bombed so bad and was so negatively reviewed that it literally caused Netflix to change their five-star rating system to a simple thumbs up or thumbs down. Now, her latest movie, the Goldie Hawn-starring Snatched is coming out soon, and I’m willing to bet my house (which I do not own yet) that it BOMBS. Needless to say, I think 2017 is going to be Schumer’s last in the spotlight.

And unfortunately for Schumer, her personal life is unraveling the same time as her professional life, as EW reports that her and her boyfriend Ben Hanisch have broken up

via EW:

“Amy and Ben have ended their relationship after thoughtful consideration and remain friends,” a rep for Schumer tells PEOPLE.

The couple was together for nearly a year and a half, though the two were last photographed together in January and had been appearing less frequently on each other’s social media.

Schumer, 35, last posted a photo with Hanisch, 30, on March 12 ahead of the Golden Globes, which they attended together. The Chicago-based furniture designer did not accompany the star at the premiere of her latest film Snatchedearlier this month.

Sucks to suck, Schumer.

 

Everything You Need To Know About Robert Mueller

The Department of Justice has tapped Robert Mueller to serve as special counsel in the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election. Mueller’s selection was announced Wednesday evening and comes from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Here’s everything you need to know about Mueller.


Former FBI Director

Mueller served as the FBI director for 12 years. He was nominated and confirmed to the position in 2001. FBI directors traditionally only serve for 10 years, but President Barack Obama asked Mueller to remain for an additional two years. In 2013, he was replaced by James Comey.

Following his FBI career, Mueller joined the private law firm WilmerHale.

Mueller was nominated by a Republican president and is a registered Republican. However, he is not considered a political figure by his peers.


Former Marine

Mueller is a military veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He enlisted following his graduation from Princeton. In an interview with the University of Virginia School of Law, Mueller said his decision was inspired by a close friend.

“I have been very lucky,” he said. “I always felt I should spend some time paying it back. One of the reasons I went into the Marine Corps was because we lost a very good friend, a Marine in Vietnam, who was a year ahead of me at Princeton. There were a number of us who felt we should follow his example and at least go into the service. And it flows from there.”

He left the Marine Corps after earning a Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and two Navy commendation medals.


Resignation Threat

Mueller once threatened to resign as director of the FBI.

In 2004, the Justice Department ruled that domestic wiretapping without a warrant was unconstitutional. Mueller and then Deputy Attorney General James Comey threatened to resign if President Bush overruled the Justice Department’s finding.

The Washington Post reports that in March 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft was in intensive care, and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and Chief of Staff Andrew Card Jr. had planned to convince him to continue with the program.

“The sickbed visit was the start of a dramatic showdown between the White House and the Justice Department in early 2004 that, according to Comey, was resolved only when Bush overruled Gonzales and Card,” The Washington Post reported. “But that was not before Ashcroft, Comey, Mueller and their aides prepared a mass resignation, Comey said. The domestic spying by the National Security Agency continued for several weeks without Justice approval, he said.”

Ultimately, President Bush upheld the Justice Department’s conclusion.

Since then, Mueller has tended to defend domestic surveillance programs and has not embraced the notion that civil liberties have been compromised.

“Do we exchange information in ways we did not before? Absolutely,” Mueller told CNN in 2013. “You can say that that is a — to the extent that you exchange information between CIA, FBI, NSA and the like — you could characterize that as somehow giving up liberties. But the fact of the matter is, it’s understandable and absolutely necessary if you want to protect the security of the United States.  ”


Mueller is a Popular Pick

The selection of Mueller as special counsel has received widespread praise.

House Republican Jason Chaffetz praised the pick on Twitter.

Democrats have also reacted positively. Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier said on CNN on Wednesday that the choice is “remarkable” and that Mueller has an “impeccable” background. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said that Mueller is as good a pick as Democrats could possibly hope for.

Senator Bernie Sanders said that Mueller’s appointment is a positive step.

WATCH: All These High School Students Get Pepper-Sprayed For Class

Apparently, pepper-spray is a part of the lesson plan in this Ohio high school class. Parents gave permission to allow their teenage child to be pepper-sprayed as part of the school’s criminal science program.

My high school experience was pretty simple; the work was easy, the bud was dank, and I had my whole future ahead of me. But luckily, I have never been pepper-sprayed before because it looks like it hurts like an uncle-f**ker.

A video showing a bald man in a track suit pepper-spraying a group of teenagers has been viewed online more than 15 million times.

“It felt like sticking your face into a bonfire,” said Joshua Horvath, 17, a student at the school that hosts this intriguing and somewhat controversial program.

But pepper-spray isn’t the only shocking part of this program, as these students have also literally been shocked with stun guns. This competitive program can prepare students for a career in the military or police-force.

“It’s an excellent program,” said Melody Steinhour, 42, a parent of one of the students. “The philosophy is, if you’re going to carry pepper spray, or you’re going to carry a Taser, and use it as a weapon, you need to know what it feels like before you inflict that pain on someone else.”

These kids are hardcore! My liberal-educated ass would never voluntarily get pepper-sprayed or tased…or would I? Nevermind, that’s not important. Let’s hear what one of the students think about this program.

“It teaches us what we’re going to be doing in the field,” said Horvath, who wants to be a police officer. “It keeps kids out of trouble because once you learn at a younger age, you’re like ‘oh, yeah, I don’t wanna do that again.’”

In the end, these kids learned through the pain. Alright, enough of me flapping my keyboard, I’ll let you all see the video you came here to see:


Audioslave & Soundgarden Rockstar Chris Cornell Dead At The Age Of 52

Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell passed away Wednesday night at the age of 52. He was an icon of ’90s grunge, trailblazing a new era of rock music with hits like “Black Hole Sun” and “The Day I Tried To Live.”

Cornell’s representative Brian Bumbery told the Associated Press that Chris passed away Wednesday night in Detroit, Michigan. Bumbery said that the singer’s wife and family were shocked by his death, which he describes as “sudden and unexpected.”

Next to Nirvana, Soundgarden stood at the apex of grunge culture. This rock group formed in 1984, with Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Hiro Yamamoto.

They originally broke up in 1997, as Cornell went solo and released the album Euphoria Morning. Soundgarden got back together in 2010 and continued to tour the world with their brand of music.

Soundgarden has released six studio albums altogether. Their first album Ultramega OK hit stores in 1988, while their latest album King Animal came out in 2012. This band has won two Grammy Awards, both in 1995 for Best Metal Performance (“Spoonman”) and Best Hard Rock Performance (“Black Hole Sun”).


Their 1994 album Superunknown blasted Soundgarden into the main stream, earning them the number one spot on the Billboard 200. This album was also nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rock Record.

Soundgarden was on tour in the US as early as April 2017.

Chris Cornell’s death has yet to be determined. Check back for more details. But while you wait, here’s a classic music video from Soundgarden:

Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell passed away Wednesday night. The lead singer of one of the mid ’90s hottest rock groups sadly passed away in Detroit. But in the end, he’s left us with many great songs and words to cherish.

My favorite song from Soundgarden is “Black Hole Sun.” I’ll even play it right now to commemorate this fallen rock icon. I remember playing this classic on Guitar Hero when I was a teenager. Now, I’ll play that same song as an awkward adult right out of city college. But hey, wait a minute…I shouldn’t be so selfish. I’ll go and share the music video for “Black Hole Sun” right here with all my loyal readers:

Chris Cornell may be gone, but his music remains. His words of wisdom are still in tact, whether in song, in interview or in the minds of friends, family and fans. Here are the quotes from this ’90s grunge rock legend:

Chris Cornell Quotes: Best Quotes & Most-Famous Sayings

“I’m not a lyric writer to make statements. What I enjoy doing is making paintings with lyrics, creating colorful images. I think that’s more what entertainment and music should be.”


“There’s something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it’s not something that you get over. I don’t believe there’s a healing process.”


 “What’s important is to get into shape and then not to have to worry about it. I don’t want to get on stage and not being able to do something. Not being physically fit doesn’t work for me.”


“To me, music shouldn’t be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you’re sitting in a room, writing songs, it’s a completely different process. It’s a completely different place. It’s a creative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what.”


“I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.”


“If I’m going to go out to be a solo artist, it’s because I want to do something different without having to wait on someone else’s schedule or hobbies or be limited by other people’s prejudices. I’d be kind of stupid not to exercise that.”


“What do you think Jesus would twitter, ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone’ or ‘Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'”


“A true musician, like Johnny Cash, should be able to walk into a room with nothing but an instrument and capture people’s attention for two hours.”


“I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.”


“I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That’s not gone away.”


“The focus on my wife and my children, it really helps me make sense of the music side of it somehow.”


“I think it’s important for fans to know that but if I’m doing something that inspires me musically then I think it will inspire someone else too.”


“And if you don’t believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.”


“When you start your first band and it has an impact on the rest of the world you go through a lot with those guys and you become very protective of that legacy.”


“The reason there’s no modern-day Shakespeare is because he didn’t have anything to do except sit in a room with a candle and think.”


“If you’re an American kid, you can’t help but be influenced by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Rolling Stones because they’re always on the radio.”


“I’m not usually in a talkative mode.”


“My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn’t know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.”


“Rock never meant the same thing to everyone, but when I was growing up in the late seventies, everyone could identify the five, ten bands that formed the center.”


“To a degree, rock fans like to live vicariously and they like that, music fans in general, but when indie music sort of came into prominence in the early ’90s, a lot of it was TV-driven, too, where if you saw the first Nirvana video, you’re looking at three guys that look like people you go to school with.”


“Radio and TV can still push a band, but things need to be shaken up. There is the Internet, but mostly what I see there is little kids on YouTube playing music.”


“The freedom I have as a U.S. citizen is unparalleled. Despite the fact people may not like American passports, having that passport affords me more freedoms than any other passport could.”

If the Met Gala is like prom for celebrities, then the annual Cannes Film Festival is like the after-prom vacation.

This year’s festival will celebrate its 70th-anniversary from May 17 to 28.

Some of the most beautiful women in the world showed up to the opening night, including Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Jessica Chastain, and more.

However, despite the fact that Cannes is one of, if not the, premier film festivals in the world, the biggest story of night one was Bella Hadid’s wardrobe malfunction. As Bella was making her way down the red carpet, the long slit in her dress revealed a little more than she wanted it to.

Cal State Chico Fraternity In Hot Water For Cutting Down 32 Trees

Pi Kappa Alpha at Cal State Chico has been charged with cutting and damaging 32 trees in the Lassen National Forest during an initiation ceremony for new pledges.

According to Nancy Barrera, a spokeswoman for the Lassen National Forest, the university’s PIKE chapter and its president, Evan Jossey, are facing 32 counts of cutting or damaging any timber, which was destroyed at the Deer Creek Trailhead campground during the weekend of April 21.

The fraternity was charged with possessing a firearm and conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States.

 

via LA Times:

Camper Jon Elam told authorities he was visiting the campsite during the weekend of April 21 when saw about 80 people there, according to the federal complaint. He was then greeted by Jossey and three other men who introduced themselves as members of a Chico State fraternity, federal authorities said. The men told him they would be participating in an initiation ceremony that night.

He later heard gunshots and people chopping down trees, federal authorities said. The next morning, Elam discovered several trees had been chopped down at the students’ campsite. Elam told authorities he packed up his belongings and left the campsite.

The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity issued a statement on Wednesday, May 17, saying its Lambda Psi chapter at Chico State has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation:

“Lambda Psi Chapter and its members are expected to fully cooperate with authorities in this matter,” the organization said. “The fraternity does not condone the allegations made in this complaint and will revisit the permanent status of the chapter and its members at the conclusion of the federal process.”

The Lambda Psi chapter has denied any involvement in the incident, going so far as filing a police report against the individual making the allegations.

Patti Waid, a university spokeswoman, said the fraternity is temporarily suspended from the campus and that the university was investigating the claims to determine who was responsible for the vandalism.

“Regardless of who perpetrated the vandalism, the act in and of itself is completely unacceptable,” she said. “As members of the Chico community, we believe an affront like this is an affront to us all.”

United Charges Solider Returning Home From Duty $200 For Overweight Bag

First Lieutenant John Rader, a National Guardsman, claims he was hit with a $200 charge for an overweight bag fee on his return flight from overseas deployment.

According to Rader, he had to pay $200 to get his military-issued duffel bag on a United Airlines flight out of El Paso, Texas while making his way home from serving 21 months in Afghanistan this past Monday.

United Airlines’ official policy is that active military personnel can travel with up to five bags for free, but each bag must be 70 pounds or lighter. Rader’s military-issued included a Kevlar vest, two helmets, and boots. All are items he wore while in Afghanistan.

Via Fox 7:

While preparing to board a United flight from El Paso Monday night, he was told his bag was too heavy to qualify under the airlines’ free military baggage policy.

“I was told point blank that I’d have to pay $200 for the overage or find another bag to siphon stuff off with,” said Rader. “Well, I didn’t have another bag so I was caught in a bind, do I go home without my stuff or without it?”

“There was no empathy to the situation. I’m not looking for sympathy, but some form of empathy in the situation. There was none of that. It was just cold. I had to either pay or leave the bag.” he said.

Rader reluctantly paid the fine. He says another soldier traveling with him had to pay as well.

Former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has passed away at the age of 77.

According to his wife, the founder and former Chairman and CEO of Fox News who resigned last July following allegations of sexual harassment has died at the age of 77.

His wife Elizabeth, with whom he has one son, released the following statement to Matt Drudge:

“I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise—and to give back. During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions.And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life.”

No other information about Ailes’ death is available at this moment, and President Trump has yet to Tweet about Ailes’ death.

The cause of Ailes’ death is unknown at this time.

About Roger Ailes

Roger Eugene Ailes, born, May 15, 1940, was an American media consultant and television executive. Ailes was born and grew up in the factory town of Warren, Ohio, the son of Donna Marie (née Cunningham) and Robert Eugene Ailes, a factory maintenance foreman. Ailes attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where he majored in radio and television and served as the student station manager for WOUB for two years, before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 1962.

Ailes was the founder and former Chairman and CEO of Fox News and the Fox Television Stations Group. Ailes founded the network in the 1990s, billing it as a “fair and balanced” alternative to his competitors.

Ailes was also a media consultant for Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, and for Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign.

In 2016, he was an adviser to the Donald Trump campaign, where he assisted with debate preparation. In July 2016, Ailes left Fox News last year after a slew of sexual harassment claims. He was given a $40 million payment to leave the network.


Roger Ailes Sexual Harassment Allegations & Resignation

In a book published in 2014, Gabriel Sherman alleged that Ailes offered a television producer a raise if she would sleep with him.

On July 6, 2016, former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes. Carlson alleged that she was fired for rebuffing Ailes’ advances. Days later, Gabriel Sherman reported accounts from six women who alleged sexual harassment by Ailes.

On July 19, 2016, New York reported that Megyn Kelly told investigators Ailes made “unwanted sexual advances toward her” at the start of her career. The magazine also reported that the Murdochs had given Ailes an ultimatum—resign by August 1 or be fired.

On July 21, Ailes resigned from Fox News, receiving $40 million from Fox in an exit agreement. Rupert Murdoch succeeded him as chairman, and as interim CEO until the naming of a permanent replacement.

On August 8, 2016, Shelly Ross, writing for The Daily Beast, described her encounter of sexual harassment with Ailes in 1981. She claimed that at a lunch meeting Ailes asked her, “when did you first discover you were sexy?” When Ross explained to Ailes that she found the conversation “very embarrassing” he responded that “the best expression of loyalty comes in the form of a sexual alliance.

Ailes began his career in television in 1962 with KYW-TV. His first job was as a property assistant before he was promoted to producer and executive producer for the channel. He served in this role until 1968.

During this time, one of Ailes’ programs – The Mike Douglas Show – earned a daytime Emmy Award. One of the show’s most notable moments was a frank interview with Richard Nixon. Later, Nixon would even serve as the executive producer for Ailes’ show.

Nixon’s election victory would push Ailes into the world of politics.

Ailes was credited for helping George H.W. Bush win the White House in 1988. The newsman scripted and produced Revolving Door, an ad that is today considered one of the driving forces behind Bush’s victory over Michael Dukakis. Ailes also handled all of the broadcast shows of Bush along with the campaigns.

Ailes is also responsible for the Orchestra Pit Theory, which coupled sensationalism with political coverage. After the failure in Richard Thornburgh campaign in November 1991, he withdrew from political counseling. He continued to work as behind the scene as a speech writer. However, Ailes did not work in the George Bush campaigns against Bill Clinton.

Ailes became CEO of Fox News in 1996. Under his leadership, Fox News doubled down on its Republican leanings while giving voice to controversial but undeniably popular figures such as Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.

In 2002, Fox News surpassed CNN as the most-watched news network. In 2005, Ailes was named the chairman of Fox Television after the network experienced steady growth in reach and leaps in the ratings. At its peak, Fox News was worth more than $15 billion, making it one of the most profitable underneath the 21st Century Fox umbrella.

In 2012, with Fox News reaching 95 million households in the U.S., Ailes’ contract was renewed for for more years. This deal included a base annual salary of $7 million that rose to as much as $21 million when incentives and stock options were considered.

On May 18, 2017, Ailes passed away at the age of 77.

Amanda Taylor stabbed her 59-year-old father-in-law, Charles, at his home in Ellett, Virginia, in 2015. Now 26-years-old and in jail for life, Taylor spoke with Crime Watch Daily about the crime while also revealing that she had a “weird obsession” with ISIS before her arrest.

What Happened?

Amanda Taylor murdered Charles Taylor in April 2015 by stabbing him repeatedly at his home. She then took a selfie with the dead body and explained her actions as “just something that made me really happy.”

Taylor was sentenced to life in prison for the attack which she carried out following her husband Rex’s suicide in August 2014.

Taylor, a 26-year-old mother of two, showed no remorse for her actions.

As she tells Crime Watch Daily via a phone interview in prison: “I have absolutely no remorse for what I did to Charlie Taylor at all. I did exactly what I wanted to do.”

Taylor insists that she killed her father-in-law as revenge for her husband’s suicide, which she blames on him.

“I just wanted him to feel the pain I felt. That’s the most alive I’ve felt since Rex died,” she said.

On April 4, Taylor attacked her father-in-law at his house with a bayonet-style knife.

When describing the killing, Taylor said: “I was very happy, I was very happy just to finally get all that built-up hate and anger and all those feelings out on him.

“When I stabbed him I didn’t see anything and he just looked at me and he was like ‘what are you doing?’ and as I was stabbing him, he had reached up and got my hair.

“I continued to stab him but he kept yelling and it made me nervous so Sean took the crow bar, the tire iron or whatever, and hit him in the back of the head.”

Sean is Sean Ball, her accomplice in the murder who she later turned on while running from authorities.

After the murder, Taylor posed for a selfie with the dead body and the knife.

“I was just really excited and I was like hey I’m gonna take a picture so I can post it and show everyone. It was just something that I, it made me really happy,” she continued.

Taylor also revealed that she tried to contact ISIS before her arrest but that she never received a response. She claims she did not want to join the terror group, but that she had a “weird obsession” with them.

“I wasn’t trying to join ISIS. I wasn’t going to go blow anything up in the name of, you know. I had this weird obsession with it for a minute and I tried to reach out but obviously nothing happened from it,” she said.

Trump Says ‘No Politician In History’ Has Been Treated Worse, Forgets About Mandela, Lincoln & JFK

Yesterday, while giving the commencement speech at the Coast Guard Academy graduation, Donald Trump took the time to talk about … well, himself. Duh.

One of the most Trumpian lines of the speech (and there were many) was when he said “no politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.”

Now, look, I’m as big of a Trump critic as there is. While his criticism is deserving, he’s sort of right in the sense that no President has faced as much backlash as he has. And even though that’s true, it doesn’t even matter, because he brings the criticism upon himself. So yes, is the media harsher to him than any other President in history? Probably. But is it totally his fault? 10 million percent.

Anyway, the internet was not about to let Trump slide with this one, as they were quick to remind him that MANY politicians have been treated worse than him.

For example, there was once this American President, Abraham Lincoln (ever heard of em’?) that got shot in the back of the head. Then, about a century later, another American President, some dude named JFK (uhhhhhh who???) also got his dome-piece blasted off. And even more recently, there was this South African black dude named, uhhhhhh, oh, Nelson Mandela, spent like 27 years in jail. Seems pretty tough if you ask me.

And here Trump is, bitching about some harsh Tweets and MSNBC news segments.

Dude With Two Girlfriends Known As ‘Luckiest Man Alive’

Adam Lyons

Raising a family is hard enough as it is. One can only imagine how much more complicated it becomes when Daddy is dating two different women. But apparently that set-up works for this family.

Adam Lyons, 36, lives with his two girlfriends, one a whom is pregnant. Lyons, dubbed the “luckiest man alive,” is originally from East London, but now lives in Austin, Texas, with his two girlfriends: Brooke Shedd and Jane Shalakhova.

At the time, Adam and Brooke had one son together, Dante, and now the “throuple” is expecting again after Jane became pregnant.

The threesome share a super-king-sized bed and can’t wait for the new baby, due in July.

“It’s so sweet that we all get to parent and raise the kids together,” Adam said. “We have talked about it at length and we all consider ourselves parents to the children.

“With the kids, our titles are officially ‘Dad,’ ‘Mum,’ and ‘Mum.’ For us, three definitely works better than two.”

Despite their non-traditional arrangement, the threesome believes their arrangement could become the norm for future relationships and parenting.

Adam, who runs his own business consulting company Psychology Hacker, said: “For us, three people works better because it enables us to manage daily life so much better.

“So many of our friends are in ‘normal’ two-person couple relationships with kids, jobs and all the other typical responsibilities and I see them struggling to juggle their lives. It’s difficult with two people.

“But with three parents, we always have the ability for one person to look after the kids. As a result, we never begrudge each other anything because we all have lots of time. With three people, it’s logistically so much easier to handle all those things – we share out the responsibilities and it fits our sexual preferences too.

“When Brooke, Jane and I first came about our relationship, we had some criticism and certain people said we wouldn’t last.

“But we’ve been going for five years now. What we have is not a fling or a phase, we’re a real family with healthy, happy kids. Our son Oliver doesn’t even recognize what is ‘unusual’ about our family. This should be the future of relationships, where people are able to enjoy love in any way they feel works. Three people and three parents make so much sense to us.”

Jane, 27, has come around on the entire concept of children thanks to the family’s unique set up.

“When I had boyfriends before, I never wanted or cared about kids. Growing up, I always thought that when you had a baby, you became a slave to your child. You see a lot of parents struggling.

“But raising Dante with Adam and Brooke and watching him grow up with three parents around – I realize we could do it as a family. With three parents around, it’s so doable. With three parents, we can still have a social life, make time for one another and share the parenting tasks so you don’t end up like the typical sleep-deprived mum! With two partners, there’s so much help and I’ll never have to leave my kids with someone I don’t trust.”
