Real Life Comic Book Supervillain James Dolan Spent Draft Night Getting Heckled For His Singing Voice

I’m not even a Knicks fan and James Dolan infuriates.

I have been subjecting myself to the tortures of being a Mets and Jets fan for over a 15 years now, but for some reason, I’ve never brought myself to the lows of being a Knicks fan.

And that reason is James Dolan.

Dolan, who is worth $1.5 billion dollars, is currently running the most embarrassing franchise in sports. And that’s coming from a man who willing roots for both the Mets and Jets so that’s how you know it’s the truth.

So on draft night, the night that teams can potentially instill new hope into their franchise, what does Dolan do? He goes and performs a concert with his band, JD & The Straight Shot (LOL) like a f*cking asshole.

At this point, it’s clear the Knicks are going to be a trainwreck of a basketball franchise until James Dolan sells the team.


Nothing To See Here, Just Two Real Ass Deer Shooting The Ones

What in the world?

Coming from New Jersey, I thought I’ve seen everything a deer has in it’s arsenal. Yet here these two are, squaring up like they’re kangaroos or something.

This is why you can’t f*ck around with nature, these creatures have more skill than they let one. One second you come across a raccoon you think you can punt across the yard, and bang, next thing you know it’s throwing Conor McGreogr-combos your way.

Even geese can run up on you before you know what’s happening. Maybe it’s just New Jersey geese, but every time I even went near one of those bastards, they’d start hissing and come at me wings up.

Nature, people. Beware.

Gotta Give Credit Where It’s Due: Lonzo Ball’s Girlfriend Is A Dime

Predicting the future is never easy, but fortunately it’s a skill we possess after multiple sessions of peyote drinking in our sensory deprivation tank. It was a harrowing process but one that was worth it for the information being held.

Everything has gone well for Lonzo Ball, he’s the second overall pick by the Lakers just like the prophecy foretold by his father Lavar Ball. But the prophecy is still not complete, not until all three Ball children are playing in purple and gold.

Being the oldest, Lonzo Ball can establish a Big Baller Brand style of play with his crisp passing and his ability to create his own shot. Magic Johnson has decided to give Lonzo the keys to the offense by trading D’Angelo Russell to the other side of the country so Lonzo won’t have to make any eye contact with Timofey Mozgov. Lonzo also won’t have to worry about Russell airing out the laundry and ruining his relationship with his beautiful girlfriend, Denise Garcia.

Lonzo and Garcia have been going out as far back as their senior prom. She plays soccer at UC Riverside so she won’t be too far to see her man patiently waiting for Paul George to walk through the front door next offseason. She’s a smokeshow just like any other woman on the west coast.

Package this with Ball’s FootLocker commercial and the Lakers have all the tools to compete with the Warriors next season. Better hold on tight to your balls Draymond, they’re coming for you.

Now onto the middle brother, LiAngelo Ball who’ll be a freshman next season for UCLA. Daddy Lavar Ball recently made the prediction that LiAngelo won’t be good enough for the NBA but expect LiAngelo to use that to fuel his game. He is considered the weakest prospect out of the family, scoring 72 points in a game only to be one-upped by his younger brother LaMelo with a 92 point performance, also snubbed from the McDonalds All-American Team.

Don’t worry, LiAngelo is still winning with his game as he’s found himself a girl himself. This is Isabella Morris and she wants a piece of the Big Baller lifestyle. She needs to learn from Garcia’s mistake and lock him before he gets a taste of that NBA lifestyle.

LiAngelo is destined for the Lakers as well, but there are factors at play. Lonzo’s presence alone will improve the Lakers to the point to where they could lose their pick since the Lakers can only own their pick if it falls between 2-5 because Steve Nash continues to haunt the hallways of the Staples Center. They’ll have no choice but to sit Lonzo for the season or even purposely break his arm so they can tank to keep their pick. This all comes down to fate as the Lakers will Fall for Ball 2018 to keep their pick and draft LiAngelo no matter what his draft projections are.

Now on to the final piece of the puzzle, LaMelo Ball, who already has a scholarship to UCLA before he even stepped foot on a high school court. Let’s address the elephant, LaMelo has no girlfriend nor could we legally share with you. This is not that type of site, moving on…

LaMelo is destined to be the best player out of all three of the brothers and the final piece of the puzzle. Remember that the Lakers will Fall for Ball 2020 to complete the prophecy. Unfortunately they’ll have to sacrifice their free agent acquisition Paul George so they can truly let the Balls run free in 2021 and win the Lakers their first title in over a decade.

Yale Dean Leaves School After Offensive Yelp Reviews Go Public

Pierson College dean Jane Chu of Yale University, who was placed on leave after offensive reviews she posted, has left her position permanently, according to the school.

What Happened?

Chu issued a public apology last month for offensive reviews she posted to Yelp, referring to patrons as “white trash” and “low class folk.” A few days after posting the reviews, they were uncovered by students who began to circulate them around the Ivy League school.

Stephen Davis, the head of Pierson College, on Tuesday informed members of the residential college that Chu had left her position and “wished the best to students.” He will begin the search for a new dean.

Davis emailed members of the residential college on May 18, shortly after the reviews were first uncovered, that she had been placed on leave. He said the reviews, of which there were more than he initially thought, contained “inappropriate and unacceptable language pertaining to race and class” that was “deeply harmful to the community fabric.”

At least 10 reviews from Chu on restaurants and establishments in New Haven, Connecticut from her personal account have been found.

The Yale Daily News obtained the reviews.

“To put it quite simply: If you are white trash, this is the perfect night out for you!” Chu wrote in one review of a Japanese restaurant.

“This establishment is definitely not authentic by any stretch of the imagination and perfect for low class folks who believe this a real night out.

“Over salted and greasy food. Side note: employees are Chinese, not Japanese,” Chu, who identifies as Chinese American, said.

In another review she wrote: “I guess if you were a white person who has no clue what mochi is, this would be fine for you.”

The social psychologist – who once said she valued “views on diversity, equity, partnerships, and academic success” – issued an apology and deleted her Yelp account after her reviews began drawing public attention.

“I have learned a lot this semester about the power of words and about the accountability that we owe one another,” Chu wrote.

“My remarks were wrong.

“There are no two ways about it. Not only were they insensitive in matters related to class and race; they demean the values to which I hold myself and which I offer as a member of this community.”

Yale University is an American private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701, it is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States.

Tetsuo “Mr. Pogo” Sekigawa Cause Of Death: How Did The Hardcore Wrestling Legend Die?

Hardcore wrestling legend Mr. Pogo passed away today at the age of 66. He began his career in Japan, but his talent ventured overseas to the United States and Canada. In the 1990s, Mr. Pogo was nortiously known for death matches. He is best known for his appearances in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, W*ING, and Big Japan Pro Wrestling.

Tetsuo “Mr. Pogo” Sekigawa succumbed to his injuries in a hospital from a cerebral infection after receiving back surgery in Gunma, Japan.

How Hardcore is Mr. Pogo?

This guy will literally stab you in the head with a scythe during a match, enough said.

Mr. Pogo is hardcore enough to wrestling a match called an Electrified Exploding Barbed Wire Double Hell Death Match. He wrestled Atushia Onita in an extreme classic for the ages…

Pogo has faced off against the top legends of North American professional wrestling, from Harley Race to Bret Hart to “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, and more! In 1996, Pogo suffered a broken neck during a match against another hardcore legend known as Terry Funk. Pogo has tried to mount a comeback throughout the years, but that broken neck meant the was done with being a full-time active wrestler.

However, in 1998, Pogo became the inaugural BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Champion. After he lost the strap that year, he rekindled his feud with Atsushi Onita in FMW. He then became a freelancer for various promotions, but only wrestled during special occasions.

Here’s a look at Pogo’s infamous match against Terry Funk in 1996 that caused the Japanese wrestler to fall into semi-retirement. This match is called a No Ropes Exploding Barbed Wire Glass Crush Spider Net Death Match:

Nicki Minaj Dressing Like An Alien Is Good For Both Mankind & The Extraterrestrial

Nicki Minaj dresses like a Zoolander character and sounds like the hood member of Alvin & The Chipmunks, yet somehow, it all collides together to make one of the sexiest women on the planet. At least I think so.

For years Minaj has been posting pictures of herself wearing clothes that look like they should belong to an alien and making them hot.

While shooting music videos for her latest singles, Nicki has appeared to adopt this bizarre Egyptian alien look. You gotta respect her for taking what looks like failed fashion concepts and making them work. Does her scientifically engineered body make these said clothes look good? Sure, but beggars can’t be choosers, can we?

Anyway, not sure what song this is for because Nicki’s music has been garbage for a few years now, but whatever it is, I’ll sure as hell be checking out the video when it drops. Even if her music sucks, her outfits don’t and that’s all we really care about.

Take-Two is Cracking Down on the Modding Scene for GTA

$

The popular modding tool, Open IV, was shut down by the developers, Rockstar, and their publisher, Take-Two Interactive, meaning players will no longer have access to the modding tool nor any of the software associated with these modding tools.

Rockstar sent a cease and desist letter to the modding software owners Force Hax, Lexicon and Menyoo, telling them to shut down all of their operations and donate any revenue they earned to charity organizations. Each of their websites now features the following statement:

“After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development, and distribution of the [Lexicon / Menyoo / Force Hax] cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to a charity designated by Take-Two. We apologize for any and all problems [Lexicon / Menyoo / Force Hax] has caused to the Grand Theft Auto Online community.”

The publishing company released a statement on its website taking a firm stance against the modding community, saying the single-player mods could affect GTA online, even though Rockstar Games has had no problem with using single-player mods in the past.

“OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody,” it said of the much beloved modding software. “We are working to figure out how we can continue to support the creative community without negatively impacting our players.”


Community Backlash

A heavy backlash from fans has damaged the reputation of the developer and their publisher in several ways.

For one, this destroys channels who dedicated much of their videos to content that needs these tools to be made. Many YouTubers have built their careers off of playing crazy racing mods or spawning hundreds of cars just to blow them all up using a modded rifle that shoots explosive rounds.

The people aren’t happy. In an act of rebellion, many people have taken to the games’ store pages to give horrible reviews to the titles, resulting in overwhelmingly negative recent reviews and depreciating the overall reviews of both games to “mixed.”

An online petition was also started asking Rockstar to allow OpenIV to be used again by the tens of thousands of people who loved messing around with it as a hobby.

It’s not clear if any of the community’s efforts will do anything to Rockstar’s firm stance on the issue, but it’s the best they can do, and we’ll find out soon enough if these efforts are in vein.


Final Thoughts

As boggie2988 said, Rockstar seems like its following in the footsteps of Bethesda by making moves to start monetizing on the modding universe. If this were to happen, they’d lose a lot of their loyal fans and many more current mod developers who do it as a hobby would be shut out of their favorite sidejob.

Corporations cutting their devoted fans away from their modding passions is a recurrent theme in the gaming scene, like when Nintendo threatened the Project M developers and when Bethesda first tried to add paid mods to the Steam Marketplace

A big benefit to this is that it puts more money in the hands of the developers who make the mods, but a downside to this is that most modders make them to have fun and aren’t in it for the money. A better alternative would be to showcase free mods and allow the community to donate money to the modders, with a portion of each donation going to the game developers.

Phil Montag: Full Story & Must-See Detail On Nebraska Democrat

YouTube

Nebraska Democrat Phil Montag has been fired from his party position on Thursday after an audio recording was released, in which this democrat says that he’s “glad Scalise was shot,” and “wishes” that he was “dead.”

Montag is referring to the shooting incident on Wednesday, June 14th, 2017. James T. Hodgkinson fired his automatic weapon while politicians were practicing for a congressional baseball game. Hodgkinson had been inspired to target and kill Republicans. He carried a hit list in his pocket which contained the names of various Republican representatives.

Republican House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was critically injured in the shooting. This Wednesday, his health was reported as “fair.” On Friday, Scalise was transferred out of intensive care. His health has been improving.

Apparently, Phil Montag wished that Scalise would have not recovered from the shooting. He’s glad that the Louisiana representative got shot.

“Let me tell you something. That motherf**ker..the one who got shot the Scafie guy..what’s his name?” asks Montag.

A female’s voice corrects his rant, and informs him that his last name is Scalise.

“No, this motherf**ker, like his whole job is like to get people, convince Republicans to f**king kick people off f**king healthcare. I hate this motherf**ker. I’m f**king glad he got shot….I’m not gonna say that in public,” says Montag.

“Then why are you saying it to us for? What are you tellin’ us for?” asks another voice on the recording.

“I wish he was f**king dead,” responds Montag.

But little did Phil Montag know, one of the people he was ranting to was actually recording the entire conversation. After Montag went on his death march, disappointed with the non-fatal result of political violence, he was informed that the entire f**king conversation was being recorded and will be released to the public….

Here is an official transcript of the conversation:

“Male: “Right now, so what is it that you want to do?”

Phil Montag: “Let me tell you, that motherfucker, the one that was shot, the scafie guy…I mean that guy, what’s was his name scafie?”

Female: “Scalise”

Male: “I really don’t want you to deflect right now.”

Montag: “No, this motherfucker, like his whole job is to like get people , convince Republicans to fuckin’ kick people off fuckin’ healthcare”

Female: “We know all of this.”

Montag: “I hate this motherfucker”

Female: “We know this”

Montage: “I’m fuckin’ glad he got shot!”

Male: “Phil! Phil!”

Montag: “I’m glad he got shot!”

Male: “Dude!”

Montage: “I’m not going to fuckin’ say that in public.”

Female: “You don’t have to say that in public.”

Male: “Then what are you saying it to us for?”

Female: “Say something, say something.”

Male: “What are you telling us for?”

Montag: “I wish he was fuckin’ dead!”

Male: “Why are you telling us but not telling anyone else?”

Montag: “Cause I’m trying to fuckin’ figure all this shit out.”

Male: “It’s OK, because I’ve been recoding this conversation since you’ve come in, so I will publicly release it myself.””

Johnny Depp Wants More Attention: Apologizes For Donald Trump Assassination Joke

$

Johnny Depp is yet another actor to get in a bit of hot water over some Trump shenanigans. Instead of a bloody head like Kathy Griffin, Depp brought up some historical humor, asking the audience, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

Depp added, “I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been awhile, and maybe it’s time.”

The crowd, at the Glastonbury Festival in England, laughed and cheered at the actor’s assassination joke. In fact, before he made the joke he received an opposing response. He first asked the crowd, “Can you bring Trump here?” which was met by a chorus of boos and jeers. But when he made the assassination joke the crowd lightened up. It’s like talking tongue-in-cheek about killing the president is a form of crowd control in some places. It neutralizes dissent and gets the crowd hooting and cracking the f**k up.

The White House have denounced Depp’s statements, and the Pirates of the Caribbean star has apologized.

At the festival, Depp was introducing a screening of a film where he plays a womanizing poet. Before the 2004 film The Libertine was shown, Johnny boy had to throw his two cents onto the dumpster fire that is the “Trump-hysteria culture” that has simply ravaged any decency left in the American media and political machine, which has spilled out infecting the indoctrinated masses with a loathsome blood lust towards whom they have cast as the malevolent transgressors of society. And whoever betrays this social dogma must face the tyranny of the masses.

Nevertheless, Johnny Deep did know his words would erupt into controversy…

“By the way, this is going to be in the press and it’ll be horrible,” he said. “It’s just a question; I’m not insinuating anything.”

At first, Depp was merely posing us a question. He was also drawing us back to the aftermath of the Civil War, which saw Republican President Abraham Lincoln fall to the pistol of John Wilkes Booth. But then he turned tail on his remarks and apologized.

“I apologize for the bad joke I attempted last night in poor taste about President Trump,” he said in an interview with People Magazine. “It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse, not to harm anyone.”

The current White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had this to say: “The president’s made it clear that we should denounce violence in all of its forms, and if we’re going to hold to that standard than we should agree that that standard should be universally applied.”

Spicer also condemned Kathy Griffen’s bloody prop comedy and the new Trump-inspired Julius Caesar production. He noted that there is a “troubling lack of outrage we’ve seen in some of these incidents.”

Hillary Clinton Has Some Harsh Words For The Republican Party Regarding Senate Healthcare Bill

Hillary Clinton put on the boxing gloves once again to fight back against the forthcoming Senate healthcare bill. What’s her weapon? Utter vilification if this pill passes.

“Forget death panels,” Clinton tweets. “If Republicans pass this bill, they’re the death party.”

Clinton’s post reflects a column by the Center for American Progress, a liberal advocacy group, and Harvard researchers that suggest about 18,000 to 28,000 preventable deaths may occur by 2026 if this new policy causes people to lose healthcare coverage.

Hillary isn’t the only Democratic figurehead to cast a grave tone onto this bill. On Thursday, former US President Barack Obama took to Facebook to write, “This bill will do you harm.”

Meanwhile, current President Donald Trump wasn’t too receptive of the house healthcare bill, which he labels as  “mean.”

On Thursday, after the senate bill was released, Trump revealed a much more positive tone. He said that the legislation will need “a little negotiation, but it’s going to be very good.”

As of today,  five Republican senators oppose the senate’s bill. If there are no Democrats in the senate who vote for this healthcare legislation, then only two dissenting members of the GOP are needed to kill this bill.

Eminem Grows A Beard, And The Internet Loses Its Shit

With all the craziness going on in the world, some people still can’t help but narrow their gaze towards Slim Shady. He was the hip hop version of Marylin Manson in the ’90s, who shocked audiences, censors, parents and puritans alike.

But once Eminem grows a beard, it’s all hands on deck once again. He shows up to the premiere of an upcoming HBO documentary upon the connection of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine called The Defiant Ones. And old Slim Shady stopped by to say “hi” with an uncharacteristic 5 o’clock shadow.

You’d think this would be no biggie. But not to the good folks on the internet. No. They’ll look to connect the dots on the significance of this facial fur. Maybe it could it be the sign of something fire…

And of course, haters gonna hate…

I don’t even know what this means, but it sounds like something funny…

That beard tho…

He ain’t J-Timbs…

To be fair, some of Eminem’s songs sounded like they took place in Liberty City…

Some are just not feeling this new shade of slim…

He’s like the Slim Shady Nostradamus or something…

Some people believe more conspiracy theories than Alexa Jones and the mainstream media combined…But this guy….I think he’s onto something….

Marshall Mathers got a beard now. So, Chuck Norris better watch out! Just kidding…

If you thought Harambe was wild, you should seriously peep this funky monkey. The name is Zola the Gorilla and he likes to dance his little heart out. This primate can provide the much-needed inspiration to those who want to dance, but don’t want to act a fool. If Zola could speak, he’d probably say, “it’s okay to act a fool because in this viral video I make it cool.”

Yes, Zola is the latest primate to capture the Internet’s heart. He’s like Harambe, except he doesn’t have a small, vulnerable child in his tank. Zola is splish-splashing away in his kiddie pool, break-dancing to the beat of his heart.

Zola is from the Dallas Zoo, where he’s allowed to perform his funky water dances.

I’ll like to take this moment to give a big shout out to Star-Telegram video producer Bob Hagh. That dude did the work for us. He mashed up that sweet dancing gorilla with the song “Maniac.” Coincidentally, this song was made famous from the a wet dance party scene in the 1983 movie “Flashdance.”

And oh, you probably already guessed it. Zola has been dancing for a while. As you study the precision and grace of his dance moves, you realize that those type of steps must have came with practice. Well, he did practice his dancing while living in the Calgary Zoo.

Zola is a f*cking beast. There is no topping this gorilla. Dare I say, not even Harambe can best this primate.

Senate Healthcare Bill Memes: Best Jokes, Funny Photos & Images

Donnie Freedom and the Republican gang are looking to push out and replace big bad Obamacare. But how? That’s the million dollar question. The Senate healthcare bill has been released the public, and so far, reactions has been a little sour, to say the very least. For one, Hillary “Hoosegow” Clinton labeled the GOP as the “Death Party” if that Senate healthcare bill passes.

Some people are afraid that they’ll lose health coverage. While others are just hoping their premiums will decrease.

I suppose all this wouldn’t be a laughing matter. But guess what? You’re on memes article. Let that sink in a bit…

You could find out all you need to know about the senate healthcare bill someplace else. But seriously, try finding a hobby. It’s not good to be obsessed with government/party politic propaganda. I wonder if my fellow part-time peasants can finally get solid full-time jobs now (I doubt it). You can thank the thoughtful employer mandate for that!

Oh wait, sorry, we’re joking about Trumpcare now. Ummm, well, I think Trump takes perfect care of the comedy field.

But does Trump know what he’s doing regarding healthcare reform? I’ll have to get back at you with that one…

Delaware Professor Says Otto Warmbier “Got Exactly What He Deserved,” Cites Racial And Gender Generalizations

Kathy Dettwyler: Full Story & Must-See Details Of Delware Professor

An adjunct professor from the University of Delaware has stirred-up some controversy with a recent comment about Otto Warmbier. Anthropology professor Kathy Dettwyler said on her personal Facebook page, that Warmbier is “typical of a mindset of a lot of the young, white, rich, clueless males” she teaches.

Of course, she can stare right into the heart of the privileged, rich white bro and see the sticky icky of his very soul.

The University of Delaware has condemned this teacher’s remarks, insisting that her comments do not represent the school’s values or principles. The university has issued a statement labeling her comments as “particularly distressing.”

Dettwyler has not yet responded. The professor under the spotlight remains silent.

Otto Warmbier’s unconscious body was released from North Korea earlier this month. He was imprisoned in the totalitarian nation for 17 months because he decided to remove a propaganda portrait from the hotel wall to take home as a memento. He fell into a coma while in captivity and died this past Monday.

I don’t think Otto deserved a death sentence for removing an exalted framed photograph from the wall. The social dogma I follow isn’t brutal and authoritarian, and I’m sure most people agree that this crime sounds ridiculous. But the guy was in North Korea, one of the most oppressive dictatorships on this blue and green globe. He couldn’t be that clueless, could he?

But if he is that clueless, Kathy Dettwyler would argue that the mindset of those who look like Otto are likely to be homogeneous. Because why? Those who look more like you probably act/think more like you. Thanks for perpetuating racial, class, age and gender generalizations, professor!

That’s like a generalization slam dunk!



Cynthia Marie Randolph: Must-See Photos Of Texas Mom

A North Texas mother is facing first-degree felony charges in the deaths of her 2-year-old daughter and 16-month-old son. Police say that the 25-year-old mother, Cynthia Marie Randolph, locked both young child in the car to teach them a lesson.


Randolph was arrested on Friday for two counts of causing injury to a child. Both children died of extreme heat exposure, according to authorities.

The incident transpired on Friday, May 26th, when the dead bodies of 2-year-old Juliet and 16-month-old Cavanaugh were discovered in a locked car parked in the driveway of her home outside of Fort Worth. According to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth, temperatures reached 96 degrees that day.

Documents released on Friday reveal the department’s rational for arresting the suspect. The Parker County Sheriff’s Department determined that Randolph changing her story about how her children died was probable cause for arrest.

At first, authorities say that the suspect told them that she was folding laundry while her children were outside playing. After about an hour, she left the house to look for her children and found them locked inside the car with her keys and cellphone. She said that she broke the window in an attempt to rescue her children and called 911.

But when Randolph was arrested this Friday, she told a completely different tale. Authorities say that the suspect admitted to locking the toddlers inside her vehicle on purpose to teach them a lesson.

“When they refused to leave the car, the defendant said she shut the door to teach Juliet a lesson, thinking she could get herself and her brother out of the car when ready,” authorities said in the probable cause affidavit.

Authorities also claim that Randolph admits to leaving her children behind in the car, while she smoked marijuana and passed out for a few hours.

“When she woke, the defendant found her children in her vehicle, unresponsive,” authorities added. “The defendant said that she broke the car window to make it look like an accident.”

Ms. Randolph was booked into the Parker County Jail on Friday. A bond has not been set, and we don’t know whether or not she’s hired an attorney.

In 2017 alone, 13 children have died from being locked inside cars and suffering heat stroke, according to San Jose State University professor Jan Null. Null, a meteorologist that works with the National Safety Council, tracks the trend in hot car deaths each year via his web site. According to the data, an average of 37 children die in hot cars annually in the United States.

To fight back against this trend of hot car deaths, Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, introduced the Hot Cars Act of 2017. This bill requires all new cars to come equipped with a device that alerts the owner of the vehicle if the child is left behind after the car is shut off.
