Presidents’ Day is a national holiday that is celebrated every year on the third Monday of February. This year it will fall on Monday, February 20. Presidents’ Day, or, Washington’s Birthday as it is also known, was originally conceived to honor America’s first commander in chief. It was then moved back to also include Abraham Lincoln before finally being viewed as a day to honor all previous presidents.

Presidents’ Day was first recognized by the federal government in 1879, but the holiday took place on Washington’s actual birthday (February 22) until 1971 when it was moved to its current date. It is a paid holiday for all state employees.

In an attempt to help you plan out your free day, here is everything you need to know about banks and stores on Presidents’ Day.

3-Star General Demoted For Using Government Credit Cards At The Strip Club

Ronald Lewis, a former Maj. General in the U.S. Army, will be demoted and retire as a brigadier general after he used a government credit card to pay for bills at strip clubs in both Rome and South Korea.

Cynthia Smith, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army, told NBC that the Pentagon’s inspector general verified that Lewis, who was the senior military assistant to former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, will be demoted to the position of Brigadier General after it was discovered he used government credit cards for his visits to international strip clubs, made false statements, and “engaged in conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman on multiple occasions.”

Via NBC:

Lewis had reached the three-star rank of lieutenant general, but he was demoted to major general when Carter fired him more than a year ago after an investigation uncovered that Lewis had misused a government credit card and had become involved in an extramarital relationship.

Federal law states that military officers can retire only with the benefits of the rank they last served “satisfactorily” — a call the secretary of the Army makes for major generals and brigadier generals.

“In this case, the Secretary determined that Maj. Gen. Lewis’ highest grade of satisfactory service was as a Brigadier General,” Smith said.

Tough way to end your military career.

Genie Bouchard has been in the news a ton lately for all of the right reasons. She appeared in her first ever Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, resulting in photos that were hotter than lava.

And she also was a woman of her word, taking a fan out on a date after she lost a Super Bowl bet to him on Twitter. There might not be anything more annoying on this planet than welchers, so that was a really cool move.

In honor of the 22-year-old Canadian tennis star’s recent hot streak, I took the time to compile her top five sexiest videos. It was an extremely difficult task, but somebody had to do it. I’m all about going the extra mile for my readers.

This New Will Ferrell & Amy Poehler Movie Looks Like The Funniest Thing Either Has Done In Years

It’s about damn time. I dare you to name a funnier male/female combo than Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler. Tina Fey and Seth Rogen? Nope. Kristen Wiig and Jonah Hill? Nuh uh. Amy Schumer and Kevin Hart? F*ck outta here. Danny McBride and Melissa McCarthy? Well, they may actually have a case. But other than that, in my semi-professional opinion, Amy Poehler is the funniest female comedic actor on Earth and Will Ferrell is Will Ferrell, his career speaks for itself.

That said, none of their recent projects have been particularly stellar. Ferrell hasn’t had a classic since about 2010 with The Other Guys. Sure, The Lego Movie was excellent, but we’re not going to count animation. Other than that, he’s starred in general crap such as Zoolander 2, Daddy’s home, Get Hard, and Anchorman 2. You could almost argue that even the great Will Ferrell is on a little bit of a cold streak.

As for Poehler, while Inside Out crushed, she hasn’t had much going for her since Parks & Rec ended.

Hopefully, finally putting these two comedic geniuses in the same movie will result in the best project either of them has done in years.

This ‘Love Has No Labels’ Commercial Will Kick You Squarely In The Feels

I am a SUCKER for these type of feel-good videos.

Had I caught this video at home with a little buzz on instead of sitting in our office stone-cold sober, you might actually have caught me shedding a tear or two. And I’m not even remotely embarrassed by that. As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t tear up when you see things like this, you’re a tin man who isn’t living life to the fullest. Life is meant to be felt, folks. #StayWoke2k17.

In a campaign called “Love Has No Labels,” the Ad Council and the NFL teamed up to create a PSA for Valentine’s Day.

The footage was taken at the Pro Bowl in Orlando, and the PSA turned the Kiss Cam into an opportunity to highlight love’s many different forms.

If the “Love Has No Labels” campaign sounds familiar, that’s because it is, as they were the also the people who came out with this equally beautiful and equally FIRE video last year:

For years, kiss cams have been a big part of American sports culture. This year, Love Has No Labels puts a twist on the kiss cam by turning it into a symbol for unbiased love. In the stadium, fans cheered for love in all its forms – regardless of race, gender, disability, age or religion.

Love Has No Labels is a movement to open our eyes to unconscious bias. While the vast majority of Americans consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about people based on what we see – whether it’s race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. By becoming aware of our own biases, we can work to end bias in ourselves, our families, our friends, and our communities

Cops Fight Each Other In Kentucky Detention Center

We get fights of the criminal vs. criminal or criminal vs. cop variety all of the time, but today, a video is going viral featuring a rare cop vs. cop showdown. Last week at the Hardin County Detention Center in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, deputy jailer Joe Fung and deputy sheriff Clennon Smith got into an intense fight.

Watch the wild footage of badge-on-badge violence in the video below.

Goddamn, Smith came in hot with the ol’ double hands to the throat choke hold. He clearly wasn’t messing around, which makes me think that these two had a history. There’s no way you go 0-100 like that to a colleague unless they’ve been getting under your skin for a long period of time. That was a ticking time bomb situation if I’ve ever seen one.

According to NBC4 Columbus, not only did Fung lose the fight, but he is also facing serious consequences.

Funk was arrested after the dispute with Deputy Sheriff Clennon Smith. Now Funk is facing charges of menacing, resisting arrest, and assault.

He is due in court later this week. Deputy Sheriff Smith is still on the job.

Let’s just hope that the inmates at Hardin County Detention Center don’t take this as a sign of dysfunction and weakness. That’s how elbow drops start happening.

Idiot Wife Donates Husband’s Jacket With Thousands Of Dollars Stashed In It To GoodWill

Man, now I know why my dad’s always getting pissed at my mom for moving his shit around. He’s probably storing some serious stacks in there.

But in all seriousness, beautiful women of the world, THIS is why you just need to leave our stuff the hell alone or at the very least, ask us about it before you decide its fate.

Linda Hoffman of Placentia, California dropped off a bag of old clothes to Goodwill without knowing that there was $8,000 in the pocket of one of her husband’s old shirts. Not only that, but the money was a secret vacation stash that her husband had been saving for six years and was planning to use on a surprise trip to Italy with his wife when he retired.

Via ABC:

Bob Hoffman had been secretly saving the cash for six years, planning to surprise his wife with a vacation to Italy when he retired. Two days later he realized the shirt – and his money – were missing.

He then fessed up to his secret plan and the two of them rushed over to the Goodwill donation center. Employees scrambled to track down the shirt, but had no luck.

“We looked at it as if it was gone, that we hoped it would go to somebody to help that family out,” Linda Hoffman said.

It wasn’t until the next day that Goodwill employee Caitlin Mulvihill came across a bulky pile of dress-up shirts. As she sifted through it, she found the shirt with Bob’s stash.

“I describe it as a miracle,” Hoffman said. “I would say that it was honest people and what touched our hearts the most is how honest they were.”

I can tell you right now, the Hoffmans are LUCKY I wasn’t working at this GoodWill. Sorry, but I would have pocketed that shit in a second. If you’re too dumb and/or lazy to take the time to at least double check what you’re about to give away, then you don’t deserve whatever it is you just unknowingly gave away.

Drug Smugglers Are Planning For Trump’s Wall By Building Weed-Slinging Catapults

I mean, what did we expect? I don’t have much experience or interaction with the organization, but something tells me the Cartel isn’t made up of the types of people who are going to roll over and die just because Agent Orange from the North is threatening to build a wall. Kind of like when you tell a child not to do something, they feel compelled to do exactly that. You build a wall and the Cartel will certainly find a way around it. I can promise you that.

U.S. border patrol agents in Arizona discovered and then promptly dismantled a catapult device used to sling marijuana into the United States from Mexico.

Via Mashable:

Agents made the discovery when they approached several people near the fence, who then scattered away, according to CNN. Two bundles of cannabis weighing a combined 47 lb (21 kg) were still attached to the catapult.

The U.S. federal agency tweeted the picture, joking that USBP agents “spring into action” dismantling the pot-flinging tool.

For once in my life, I’m actually with Trump on this one. Keep that international shwag herb off of our land.

Today, the good folks at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue posted a behind the scenes video from Aly Raisman’s 2017 shoot. Whoever said that you don’t want to see how the sausage is made was clearly not talking about a scantily clad Aly showing off her flexibility.

Watch the three-time Olympic gold medalist work her magic in the video below.

Why the hell are they at a skate park? I don’t know what skating has to do with gymnastics, but I certainly won’t complain when it results in poses like this.

Have mercy. If Aly was waiting for me, I’d hop on a skateboard in a heartbeat. I’d probably end up like this crazy broad, but it would definitely be worth the risk.

All those boys who were mean to Aly back in the day have to be feeling like the world’s biggest slapdicks now. I have a ton of regrets, but thankfully, insulting a gorgeous American hero isn’t one of them. That’d be a tough pill to swallow.

Elon Musk Just Rewarded An Everyday Hero In An Awesome Way

Everyone loves a good hero story, so here’s one about Elon Musk, Tesla, and one brave motorist.

The Muenchner Merkur reports (via Jalopnik) that 41-year-old Manfred Kick was cruising in his Tesla Model S when he spotted a man in a Volkswagen losing control of his car on the Autobahn outside of Munich, Germany. Kick quickly realized that the man was unconscious and decided to take action. He pulled in front of the Volkswagen and forced both cars to a careful stop. But Kick wasn’t done doing his superhero thing just yet.

He then went into the Volkswagen and performed first aid on the unconscious driver while passersby called emergency services. German authorities said that the driver, who appeared to have suffered a stroke, is in stable condition at a nearby hospital.

Unfortunately, Kick’s brave efforts resulted in €10,000 worth of damages to his Tesla, Jalopnik reports. However, Elon Musk caught wind of the story and offered to repair the car, free of charge.

This is a great example of a billionaire genius recognizing a good guy doing the right thing. Bravo to Musk and Tesla for responding in kind and a big thanks to Kick for potentially saving this man’s life. Take note, world.

TSA Agents Pulled Off Massive Cocaine Smuggling Ring For Almost 20 Years

TSA Cocaine

As Rick James eloquently put it, “Cocaine is a hell of a drug.” And because coke is such an in-demand and illegal commodity, people have to get pretty creative when it comes to smuggling it into the United States. Enter the Transportation Security Administration.

Six current and six former TSA screening officers have been arrested for participating in an ambitious cocaine smuggling operation in Puerto Rico for nearly two decades. Earlier this week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that 12 TSA employees have been hit with indictments for allegedly smuggling cocaine, making it past X-ray machines and onto airplanes for 18 years.

From 1998 to 2016, it is believed these TSA agents shipped roughly 20 tons of cocaine into the States through Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. How did they do it? By allegedly smuggling suitcases full of drugs through TSA checkpoints and onto departing flights. One Airport Aviation Services employee, who worked as a baggage handler and ramp operator, is charged with bribing TSA employees to clear suitcases containing between 17.6 lbs and 26.5 lbs of cocaine before taking the suitcases to their designated flights. The operation sometimes involved as many as five passengers carrying two cocaine-filled suitcases per person on a single flight.

The Drug Enforcement Agency took the lead on the investigation with assistance from the FBI, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Marshals and Puerto Rican police.

“This investigation was initiated by TSA as part of its efforts to address employee misconduct and specific insider threat invulnerabilities,” José Baquero, Federal Security Director, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands, said. “TSA has zero tolerance for employees engaged in criminal activity to facilitate contraband smuggling.”

For the charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, the defendants face a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Patrick Webster and Connor Gallagher were diving in Monterey Bay, California when they captured one of the most exciting fights in nautical history. A red octopus had a swimmer crab on the ropes, and it looked like it was just a matter of time before the crab got eaten.

But then, the battle took a shocking twist of M. Night Shyamalan proportions. Watch the thrilling conclusion in the videos below.

Holy shit, I did not see that coming! The hunter became the hunted, as a hungry harbor seal came out of nowhere. As a lifelong Maryland resident, I couldn’t be happier that the crab was able to survive. The only time I like seeing crabs get eaten is when I’m the one enjoying the tasty crustaceans.

It’s so nice to see a crab pick up a W for a change, though. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and crabs everywhere finally got some octopus vengeance for this vicious homicide.

NC State Basketball Head Coach Mark Gottfried Fired

NC State athletic director Debbie Yow announced today that Mark Gottfried has been fired. The 53-year-old head coach of their men’s basketball team will finish out the rest of the season, but then he will be forced to hit the bricks.

Gottfried got off to a great start at NC State, posting a 92-52 record and a 39-31 mark in the ACC over his first four years with the Wolfpack. He made the NCAA Tournament every year, and he advanced to the Sweet Sixteen twice over this span.

The past two years have been pretty damn miserable, though. After going 16-17 (5-13 ACC) last season and missing the tourney, it’s been more of the same this year. NC State is currently 14-13 (3-11 ACC), and they’re in the midst of a brutal losing streak. They’ve lost their last six games, with their last three losses by an average margin of 26 points.

Gottfried’s current overall record at NC State is 122-82 (47-55 ACC), and he is still owed roughly $2.3 million for the last three years he has remaining on his contract. Good work if you can get it.

Why Sigma Kappa Is One Of The Best Sororities In The Country

There are a lot of great sororities out there with a lot of beautiful, intelligent and capable women. But when it comes to this particular sorority, these members make a strong case as to why they’re the best in the country. Take a look.

Sorority: Sigma Kapa (ΣΚ)
Founded: 
November 9, 1874
Chapters: 124
Members: 165,000+
Notable Alumni: Connie Britton, Margaret Chase Smith, Angela Stanford
Official Website: http://www.sigmakappa.org/

Sigma Kappa was founded by five women at Colby College in 1874 during a time when sororities weren’t getting much love from the mainstream public (what would we do in college without sororities these days?). Yet despite the social obstacles, Sigma Kappa immediately began to flourish and can now be found in at least 40 states across the country. Take that, 1800s.

Sigma Kappa is filled with gorgeous girls that are guaranteed to make your college experience an interesting one. But more than that, Sigma Kappa has contributed to enormous philanthropic efforts over the years. The Sigma Kappa Foundation, established in 1962, has collaborated with the Sea Coast Mission to help communities and ecologies in coastal Maine (where they were founded). Additionally, the organization has been a staunch supporter of Alzheimer’s Disease research and gerontology to help elderly populations. The sorority’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s aims to raise $500,000 annually.

Sigma Kappa boasts a diverse membership committed to not only helping others but also to having as much fun as possible in college. That sounds like a pretty great combination to us.

MSU Police Request Arrest Warrants For Three Football Players In Sexual Assault Case

Michigan State University police have requested arrest warrants for three Spartans football players after conducting an investigation into a sexual assault claim, according to ESPN.

The Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office announced early Thursday that it expects to receive more evidence from authorities in the coming hours. A decision regarding the arrest warrants should be coming in the “short-term future.”

Police requested three warrants in relation to the sexual assault charges and a fourth warrant for a non-sexual crime related to the case. MSU athletic director Mark Hollis released the following statement:

“The core values of MSU Athletics are clear, consistently communicate and non-negotiable. Among them are respect for self and others, accountability for actions and choices, and integrity. Sexual assault is unacceptable, and members of MSU Athletics who fail to uphold our standards for creating a culture that is safe, supportive, and responsive to those affected by it will be held accountable. My expectation of all members of the department is full and complete cooperation with all investigations.

“We have a strong athletics program at MSU, one based on values, traditions, and an understanding that as Spartans we are part of something bigger. Our promise to current and future student-athletes and to the entire Spartan community is to take the steps necessary, based on the facts determined through thorough review, to run this program according to the highest values.”

Last week, Michigan State suspended three football players and one staff member as they wait for the results of the investigation. The three students were evicted from student housing.

Earlier this week, MSU confirmed that recruiting director Curtis Blackwell had been placed on paid suspension, though they declined to explain if his suspension was related to the assault investigation. The three players under investigation have not been named publicly.

A sexual assault complaint was originally filed in late January.

MSU’s athletic department also made it know that it has hired an independent law firm to review the football program’s Title IX compliance in dealing with the alleged assault.

According to The White House Task Force to Protect Students From Sexual Assault’s 2014 report, one in five college students experiences sexual assault during their college career. According to a small survey carried out by Sage Journals in 2016, 54% of student-athletes who participated admitted to coercing a partner into sex.

It’s been nearly a year since we embarked on our Miss COED 2017 journey, and now we’re just a few weeks away from crowning a winner. After a tough battle in the semifinals, we’ve managed to narrow down the country’s best group of college women, and now each of the finalists are representing their beloved school and NCAA conference.

Abigail Edwards is a junior at West Virginia University who’s studying Health Communications with minors in Business and Advertising. The cheerleader says that West Virginia doesn’t have any professional sports teams, so everyone roots for WVU.

She said, “My favorite school tradition is the playing of ‘Country Roads’ after every win! No matter what sport, after a win comes ‘Country Roads.’”

We have no doubt this awesome lady is going places, but before you make a decision, I’ll leave you with a few more fun facts about our girl reppin’ the Big 12.

  • She HATES when people chew loudly. 
  • The #1 thing on her bucket list is skydiving. 
  • Within the next five years, she hopes to be living near a beach and working as a medical device sales representative. 
  • The person she looks up to most is her mom. 

Don’t forget to check back on Wednesday, February 22 to vote in the finals of Miss COED 2017. You’ll be able to vote for multiple girls once a day for two weeks, so make your voices heard. With your help, one of these ladies – maybe Abbie! – will take the top prize.

Charlie Day went on the newest episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones to chow down on ridiculously spicy wings while being interviewed by Sean Evans. The episode is almost 18 minutes long, and I highly recommend setting aside a chunk of time to watch the video in its entirety.

But if you’re too busy, I did you a favor and posted the start times of some of the funnier topics of discussion. I’m so goddamn selfless it’s unbelievable.

Hot Ones is always entertaining, but that might be my favorite episode yet. Charlie Day just seems like a legitimately friendly dude, and he managed to tell some awesome stories while putting on an impressive eating display. I’m now going to spend the rest of my day scouring the internet trying to find a copy of Erotic Tales 4. It sounds like a real highbrow piece of cinema.

Genie Bouchard Actually Followed Through & Went On A Date With That College Kid

Back on February 5th, Genie Bouchard cavalierly bet a fan that if the Patriots won the Super Bowl, she would go on a date with him. At the time, the Falcons were leading the Pats 28-3, so you’d imagine Genie thought New England literally had NO shot, and therefore betting a random fan on Twitter couldn’t possibly bite her in the ass.

As we all know now, the Patriots completed the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history and Genie had to cash a check her Twitter fingers had written for her.

Luckily for the fan, Genie was a good sport about the whole thing and actually kept her word, as her and Mizzou student John Goehrke took in the Brooklyn Nets game on Wednesday night.

And from the looks of it, kid crushed.

Michigan (16-9, 6-6 Big Ten) will host No. 11 Wisconsin (21-4, 10-2) in what may be a must-win for the Wolverines. Michigan isn’t quite out of the postseason chase just yet, but they’re on the brink of missing out on the big dance. A win against the Badgers would speak volumes about the team’s capability and give them some much-needed momentum heading into another tough matchup against Purdue on February 25. Two wins against top 25 opponents will force a lot of people to look past their so-so record.

McDonald’s Locations Across The US Have Shut Down For ‘A Day Without Immigrants’ Protest

Now that obese middle-America can’t stuff their fat faces with Big Macs today, maybe they’ll realize how much this country actually needs immigrants.

In order to protest Donald Trump’s immigration ban, a “Day Without Immigrants” protest was launched and executed today, causing McDonald’s locations across the United States to shut down.

On Thursday, organizers in cities across the country encouraged immigrants not to show up for work or patronize businesses in order to show how crucial of a role they play in the American economy.

In fact, some McDonald’s locations have been forced to close for the day.

Via Business Insider:

“I was going to stop at McDonald’s for breakfast, but it’s closed,” one Facebook user from New Jersey wrote. “I hear it’s closed because this is the day immigrants are taking off as protest to Trump’s immigration law. I was annoyed at first until I realized why it was closed. Now I’m in full support of anything that goes against Trump and his ilk.”

“Just FYI. Today is immigrants day,” another Facebook user from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma wrote. “In spirit of it the McDonald’s on Douglas off the highway is closed. True story. Enjoy your day.”

The protest comes in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration ban, as well as plans to build a wall along the US-Mexico border. By refusing to work, participating immigrants are demonstrating what the United States would be with increased deportations and new immigration policies.
