So Seriously, What’s The Deal With The Space Force?

When President Trump announced that he ordered the Pentagon to begin the creation of a “Space Force”, while everyone was quick to ask questions of where the money would come from and make memes about Star Trek, no one has taken the time to try and figure out what this newly established branch of our military will actually be doing.

During his press conference, President Trump didn’t say much about the nature of the Space Force other than that it will be “separate but equal” Space Force” to the United States Air Force. As for why the United States needs to begin the further exploration into the final frontier, Trump said that it was necessary to avoid “China and Russia and other countries leading us.”

From all indications, it appears that the space force will be exactly what it sounds like: a militarization of space. The militarization of space is not a new idea in American culture as the original “space race” was one of the driving factors behind the Cold War with the Soviet Union.

President Trump had hinted at the creation of such a division in the past. In June 2017, the House Committee on Armed Services voted on a proposal to include the “U.S. Space Corps” in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, however, the move was opposed by the various military leaders. The idea cropped back up in March 2018 when Trump told the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego that his “new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea.”

Trump’s suggestion was condemned by both Russia and China, with the Kremlin likening President Trump’s comment to “opening a Pandora’s box.” China has also spoken out against the further militarization of space, s. Outer space is all humanity’s property. China always advocates the peaceful use of outer space and opposes the placement of weapons and an arms race in outer space.”

As for what the Space Force will be exactly or where the money to fund it will come from, nobody knows, but what we do know is that the Trump Administration has shown a steadfast commitment to control of the “warfighting domain” that is space.

WWE SmackDown Live Stream: How To Watch ‘SmackDown’ Online – 06/19/18

SmackDown Live will get a chance to address the fallout of Money in the Bank tonight in Toledo, Ohio. SmackDown GM Paige talked a lot of trash to Raw GM Kurt Angle about how the blue brand was going to bring home the briefcases… but ended up being all talk. Neither the Men’s or Women’s division brought back a briefcase to Tuesday nights. We will be finding out who the next number one contender for the WWE Championship is and maybe address a certain return that helped the Women’s Champion? Here’s how and where to watch tonight!

Tonight SmackDown Live will be in the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio.

Last night we saw the return of James Ellsworth. The man who tarnished the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank last year by taking down the briefcase on behalf of Carmella, returned last night to help her once again, just one year after his last interference. Ellsworth came ringside dressed as Asuka which confused The Empress of Tomorrow just long enough to confuse Asuka so Carmella could attack from behind and retain her title. Now that the master of “no chin music” is back and he’s back at Carmella’s side will this call for another Mellabration?

The Bludgeon Brothers proved why they are the kings of the SmackDown Live tag team division at MITB, defeating The Club to retain the Tag Team Titles. Though the outlook of the SmackDowm Live Tag Division is about to drastically change. SAnity will be making their long-awaited debut tonight against The Usos. Will the unhinged group find the same success they had in NXT, or are they just another speed bump to the Budgeon Brothers?

AJ Styles doesn’t have to worry about someone cashing in a MITB contract on him after Braun Stroman won the briefcase Sunday. He will, however, find out who his next opponent will be tonight after five superstars face off in a Gauntlet Match. Big E, Rusev, The Miz, Samoa Joe, and Daniel Bryan will all try to win a chance to face Styles for the title at Extreme Rules. Daniel Bryan may want to watch his back though, he already has bad blood with The Miz. Who will outlast the rest for a shot at the title?

Nicki Minaj & Ariana Grande’s Friendship Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Nicki Minaj YouTube

Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande have been friends and collaborators for a few years now, which means every so often they grace us with a painfully generic pop song accompanied by a wildly sexy music video. A small price to pay, though, because the videos are usually worth it.

Their newest track, “Bed”, sounds like the most generic pop song I’ve ever heard, but that’s not why you’re here, are you? I mean, if you are here for my review of “Bed”, A), that’s odd, and B) I think it’s horrible. But (hopefully) that’s not the reason you’re here.

The reason you’re here is that two famous chicks on totally different ends of the attractiveness spectrum came together to lather themselves (seriously, though, could there be any more opposite types of attractiveness than Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj?)

So, well, yeah, that’s about it. Here’s a music video of Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj dancing around in a pool. How much more exposition do you need?

Blain Padgett Cause Of Death: How Did Rice Football Star Die?

Blain Padgett, a standout player for the Rice football program, passed away earlier this year at 21-years-old. Padgett was found dead in his apartment after the team sent someone to check on him when he was absent from practice. Up until this time, a cause of death had not been confirmed.

However, on Tuesday, June 19, the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office announced a cause of death which was an accidental overdose.

Padgett reportedly died after taking a powerful opioid.

All of the information regarding the defensive lineman’s tragic passing can be seen below.


Blain Padgett Cause Of Death: Overdose

Padget reportedly died after overdosing on the synthetic opioid carfentanil, which is an elephant tranquilizer that is 100 times more potent than the deadly drug fentanyl.

From ABC 13:

Dr. Richard Pesikoff, a Baylor College of Medicine employee, said carfentanil is a dangerous opioid that was designed to be an elephant tranquilizer. It’s 10,000 times more potent than morphine, and 100 times more potent than fentanyl.

Dr. Pesikoff said carfentanil is deadly because it causes the brain to suppress breathing.

“It’s a dangerous recreational drug,” Dr. Pesikoff said. “Probably the most dangerous. Maybe LSD is equally as dangerous because it comes in micrograms and just the tiny bit that you touch go through the pores in your skin.”

Padgett’s father issued a statement following the confirmed cause of death.

“The family is very devastated by the news and how it came out of the blue. The way we heard about it is very disappointing. We would like to know how Blain got his hands on this drug that seems very difficult to get,” his father said. “That’s our main question. How did he get it and why did he take it? Sadly, nothing we find out will bring Blain back, which is what we really want.”

Our deepest condolences are with Padgett’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Mary Zolkowski, a 21-year-old Delta College student, has been charged and sentenced to 45 days in jail after she falsely claimed that she was raped on the school’s campus.

Zolkowski, 21, claimed that she was raped at the Delta College campus in Bay City, Michigan on February 22 while walking to her car.

According to MLive, Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran sentenced Zolkowski to 45 days in jail.

Zolkowski previously appeared in Bay County District Court on August 14 and was charged one count of false report of a felony. Once Zolkowski serves her term, she’ll be on probation for two years, during which she is to be tested for drugs and alcohol and participate in substance abuse counseling.

via MLive:

Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran on Monday, June 18, sentenced 21-year-old Mary T. Zolkowski to 45 days in jail, with no credit for any time served. Once Zolkowski serves her term, she’ll be on probation for two years, during which she is to be tested for drugs and alcohol and participate in substance abuse counseling.

The judge also ordered Zolkowski receive a mental health assessment. Sheeran deferred an additional 220 days in jail, meaning Zolkowski will only have to serve them if she violates probation.

Zolkowski’s sentencing guidelines ranged from zero to six months.

When police began their investigation, Zolkowski expressed an unwillingness to participate or submit to a physical examination. While investigating, authorities learned a parolee with sexual assault convictions was on campus at the time of the alleged attack, however, he denied any knowledge of the incident and passed a polygraph test.

After failing to find any evidence that the sexual assault had occurred, police again spoke with Zolkowski, who then changed her story to say she had been raped by an acquaintance earlier on Feb. 22 at his Saginaw Township apartment.

In 1995, he graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell with a B.A. in political science and received a master’s degree in political science from American University in Washington, DC, in 1997.

After graduating from college, Lewandowski worked as an aide for Republican Massachusetts Congressman Peter G. Torkildsen from January 1996 to January 1997. Also in 1997, Lewandowski interned for Massachusetts State Senator Steven C. Panagiotakos.

Lili Reinhart is one of the stars of the CW hit show Riverdale where she plays the role of Betty Cooper. The 21-year-old began pursuing an acting career since the age of 10 and eventually moved to Los Angeles to chase her dream when she turned 18 years old. It turned out to be the right move, despite Reinhart nearly giving up after just five months.

“I went back to a sales job that I had and tried to save up as much money as I could, but I was also dealing with incredible depression and social anxiety, so it was really difficult for me to work at the time,” she said when discussing her journey, via Just Jared. “There came a point where I was like, I need to go back there and try again, because first of all, there’s nothing else I want to do, so it’s kind of the only option.

“I was ready to give up and think about what other career options I could choose. Ones that had a specific path, and that was a steady job where I wouldn’t have to worry about whether I could afford food or groceries, or whether I could have a car or not.”

Riverdale was recently picked up for a third season. There is no official premiere date for season 3, but it is expected to return around the same time season two premiered in October.

To keep up with Lili Reinhart, be sure to hit follow on Instagram where the actress currently has more than 9.5 million followers. You can also check out more photos of the “Riverdale” star in the gallery below.

Firas Zahabi Used To Put $5k Bounty On Georges St-Pierre’s Head During Training

Georges St-Pierre knows what it takes to excel at the highest level of mixed martial arts. The former welterweight and middleweight champion was one of the most dominant titleholders in UFC history and was able to fine-tune his skill set under the direction of Firas Zahabi, the head trainer at Tristar Gym in Montreal.

But what GSP may not have known is that Zahabi had some tricks up his sleeves to give St-Pierre some extra motivation while training for big fights.

During an appearance on the “JRE MMA Show” podcast with Joe Rogan, Zahabi revealed that he would sometimes offer fighters a $5,000 reward if they were able to knock St-Pierre out during training. The goal of the bounty on the champ’s head was to ensure he was always taking on someone at their best.

But don’t worry: Zahabi never had to pay up the $5,000 reward.

Zahabi said, as transcribed by MMAjunkie.com:

“We reach those high intensity levels periodically through the year, and we have to do it a certain way so that it’s fun. Georges was on your show, and he was saying I was trying to kill him in the practice room. He’s right, but I do it so rarely. I do it so periodically. I make it a joke. I brought the guys in a room, and I was watching them spar with Georges, and they don’t want to touch his face. This is when he was like a mega-star, when he was the champ. Nobody wants to try to double leg him; nobody wants to try to hurt him. They’re like, ‘I’m not going to come here in his house and try to show him.’ There’s a respect thing. They’re starstruck, these young kids.

“I would bring in these young kids, and I would be like, ‘Listen, guys.’ I would give them a speech: ‘The first guy to double leg him, the first guy to put him out, I’ll give a $5,000 reward. If you knock Georges out, I’ll give you 5,000 bucks. If you put Georges on his back, if you take him down, put him on his back, I’ll stop the whole practice and praise you for 20 minutes in front of everybody in the gym.’ And students don’t get praised by me very often. Georges would be like, ‘Oh my God, these guys are coming after me!’ So he would get riled up. I would do this periodically. We’re talking about world title fights, stuff’s on the line. I need these guys to show me where Georges is missing something. Because when you’re having this ‘perfect practice,’ and you win all the time, what do you work on? Nothing went wrong, there’s nothing to fix. So there were times I would really red-light him.”

Zahabi did come close to having to pay the reward one time, however.

“He’s been dropped once in practice pretty badly,” he acknowledged. “But the money wasn’t on the line that time. There was no prize for that. One time he got dropped in practice, and I wanted to pull the plug. It was for a world title fight. He was fighting Dan Hardy.”

St-Pierre last fought at UFC 217 in November 2017. “Rush” scored an impressive rear-naked submission victory over Michael Bisping to win the UFC middleweight title. It was St-Pierre’s first bout in nearly four years. After winning the 185-pound belt, St-Pierre would vacate the title due to health issues.

Currently, there is no official word on whether St-Pierre will ever return to the Octagon again.

Alexander Thomas Miner, a 29-year-old former Marine who jumped over an initial security fence at the White House, told police he was “on a mission from God to slap Donald Trump and make him make him cry like a bitch.”

On Tuesday, June 19, Miner walked toward the south fence of the White House with his hands in the air shouting, “Shoot me, shoot me!”. Secret Service officers were eventually able to take him into custody without incident. After he was detained, no weapons or contraband were found on him, according to police.

Furthermore, Miner told police that while he did not intend to kill the President, he believes he “needs to die.” Miner also said that Trump is the anti-christ and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were child molesters.

via NBC News:

Miner waived his Miranda right and told D.C. police he was on a mission from God and received communication from the birds and the sky, according to charging documents. He said had he not been stopped, he wanted to make it to the Oval Office where he wanted to slap or punch the president and “make him cry like a b—-.”

He said he did not want to be shot by officers and he did not want to kill the president but that the president “needs to die,” according to charging documents. Miner told police that before he jumped the fence, someone had said they didn’t believe in God and were doing fine, and he responded by saying, “Do you want to see if God is real?” according to charging documents.

Miner told police God was furious and Trump is the Antichrist, according to charging documents. He said Trump harassed him with campaign emails and Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama were child molesters.

Miner’s father, who lives in California, said his son is a retired Marine who went “off the deep end” and might be paranoid schizophrenic. Additionally, Miner’s father described his son as “heavily trained, tech-savvy and dangerous.”

He has been charged with a federal offense of entering and remaining on restricted grounds and a state offense of attempted burglary. He is scheduled to appear in U.S. District court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday, June 20.

If you’re a fan of the CW hit show Riverdale, you should be familiar with the name Madelaine Petsch. Petsch stars as Cheryl Blossom on the series, which was recently picked up for season 3 which is expected to premiere later this fall. The 23-year-old picked up a 2018 MTV Movie & TV Award in the “Scene Stealer” category for her work on the show.

At the awards show, Petsch nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction but was saved by Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart. Petsch’s dress ripped during the show, but Reinhart was quick to jump into action.

“Little does this Madelaine know that in 2 and a half hours @lilireinhart would be safety pinning the bottom half of her dress so her butt doesn’t become exposed to the world,” she wrote in an Instagram post following the show.

Petsch, who was born to South African parents, has had a love of dance and theater since a young age. After attending Tacoma School of the Arts, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Her first shot at stardom came in a national campaign for Coca-Cola in 2014, before receiving her role in Riverdale.

To keep up with Madelaine, be sure to hit follow on Instagram where the actress currently has more than 8.4 million followers. You can also check out more photos of the “Riverdale” star in the gallery below.
