Confession: I treated Memorial Day like a free day off instead of taking time to think about the patriots who died and such. I did too. Sorry to all the soldiers out there. Confession from me: I may have said something about this being the anniversary of Harambe’s death and then took the post down once I realized I didn’t say anything about Memorial Day.

The search for the Malaysian flight from years ago has finally come to a close. There’s been no new information and nothing has been found. Basically weather is the reason as to why they stopped. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44285241 Aliens?

Roseanne got herself cancelled. Tinfoil hat time: She pissed off the libs when her character supported Trump. It was a rather hilarious plot point that they never forgave her for. The entire run was met with people wanting her off the air because of her politics. Now several hours after the dumbest tweet in recent weeks her show is cancelled. Were they already looking for a reason to pull it?  But really they should kill her off – she ended the season by being fearful of being put under for her knee surgery.

Meanwhile Samantha been calls Ivanka a feckless c**t and there is no outrage.

Jesse Duplantis wants a new airplane.

Spiritual Warfare – the Christian NES that you never knew you didn’t want.
http://nes.wikia.com/wiki/Spiritual_Warfare

Ashley went to a Christian school graduation, and it was painful. Pledges to Christian flags and bibles, Micheal W Smith’s “Friends”, Ray Boltz’s “Thank you for giving to the Lord,” bibles given to Christian school kids with teachers signatures (I affectionately called that a yearbook bible), and having to ask forgiveness for calling the Bible a “book”… not to mention there was a song in between each speech…. Football referee-type MC. She’s incredibly mad about this. Don’t forget the girl that they forced to give a speech and is super shy about it.

There was a Royal wedding. It was a big deal across the pond.

Houston’s school shooting that I don’t know enough about.

MTV suspends the show ‘Catfish’ after claims of sexual misconduct from executive producer: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/entertainment/nev-schulman-mtv-catfish/index.html  

See, it’s ironic because he catfished his audience into thinking he was a decent human being.

WTF is up with Allison Mack.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-did-smallvilles-allison-mack-get-involved-with-a-sex-cult-in-the-first-place_us_5aff3222e4b0a046186b7fbb This all literally sounds like something from Smallville. The misspelled cult (multi level marketing organization to empower women, or some white nonsense) name Nxivm, which I’m sure is a heartburn medication.

Morgan Freeman is the next to fall to #metoo and for some reason I’m not surprised.

Grads, watch your honors language! “Summa Cum Laude” banned from grad cake

Shane Claiborne wants a revival in Lynchburg, Va.  Liberty university apparently think they own Lynchburg.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/us/anti-trump-evangelicals-lynchburg.html

Donald Trump is legally not allowed to block people Twitter because it violates the First Amendment. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-cant-block-users-on-twitter-federal-judge-rules/ar-AAxHvaP

The question here being, if it’s unconstitutional for Trump, why is it not for us? I understand it’s a whole position of power thing, but if the law is supposed to be spread evenly, then it should apply to everyone. What would happen if Trump just decided to delete his Twitter account? Is that unconstitutional too?

They keep every tweet in the archives. But he’s not gonna delete it. It’s what got him elected and it’s his favorite way to complain to the American people.

Is it all people or just US citizens????? Exactly.

CVC Obituaries

Lee Ermey has died. So has Harry Anderson from Night Court, Barbara Bush, Carl Kassel (NPR), and a wrestler named Bruno Samarttino.

Starbucks is closing over 8,000 stores on May 29 to conduct racial-bias education. Apparently this all comes after a manager was fired due to calling the cops on a couple of black guys who were sitting in the store and waiting on another friend to show up. They were hauled out by the cops.  Because my fucking coffee needs to be politically active. You know how you make people racist?By telling them they can’t order black coffee because it’s offensive. It’s COC coffee now.  https://twitter.com/ABC/status/986300828339331072

Bully Hunters follow up: It was a disaster as imagined and has been completely killed off by the people that started it. A few things that were found out:

• The whole thing was staged. Some of the “victims” were actually hunters as well. The footage that they showed was impossible for them to get based on the games own parameters.
• Instances of the Hunters being crap at the game.
• A host had video surfacing afterwards of her saying some terrible things on her livestreams about people. Name calling etc.
• It was supposed to be an hour but was instead 35 minutes.
• If you went to their website and clicked the link to take you to their twitter, it took you to a completely different persons twitter who was unassociated with the BH and himself was a rape victim.
• Numbers of harassment having been horribly inflated.
• They brought in a “clinical gamer counselor” who actually isn’t that at all after a google search.

The start time was at 7pm. Im sorry…how does this help anyone? If you can’t take the trash talk, why play games? Long story short, women can’t take trash talk and apparently don’t report death threats to the police. I’m putting my notes on the next page. It reminds me of the story of the father that hired videogame assassins to kill his son’s characters so it would make him stop playing and do better in school.The best part?

• This has to be for publicity more than anything. Aside from Remington filing for bankruptcy I doubt that the The other rifle companies are banging on BoA’s door for loans. Also, they should maybe consider giving back any govt bailout money they’ve received over the years since our nations military is he number one weapons facility in the world.
