In Case You Missed It Dept.

Harry Belafonte formed a Hollywood group aimed at stopping Donald Trump, claiming he's racist. This could backfire. Last week, the AP reported that Trump was endorsed by an all-white group, and all he could do was stand at the microphone and thank the Academy for the nomination. 

Hillary Clinton was discovered to have trafficked top secret information on her server that's so secret even the Inspector General and House Intelligence committee can't see it. It gets worse for Hillary. Black Democrats might boycott the Democratic primaries because all the nominees are white. 

Bernie Sanders was ripped for a TV ad that shows only white people cheering for him in Iowa Sunday. It's all explainable. Democrats fly two planeloads of black people back and forth between Iowa and New Hampshire for the crowd shots and the Extras Union doesn't let them work on Sunday. 

New York City was buried by a foot of snow after a blizzard blew up the Eastern Seaboard and coated everywhere from Georgia to New England with snow. The snowstorm worked in Hillary Clinton's favor Friday. The guy who hands out the subpoenas couldn't get his car out of the driveway. 

The MPAA in Hollywood announced new rules on Friday broadening Academy membership to diversify the Oscar voting results. This won't end well. A year from now, Meryl Streep will be the first of seven thousand winners to stand onstage and thank the Academy for her Participation Trophy. 

Baltimore surgeons last week transplanted a penis shortly after Cape Town doctors pioneered the procedure. Scientific progress is often parallel. Last week a surgeon transplanted a monkey's head onto another monkey's body on the same day Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump for president. 

Donald Trump admitted Friday he did not expect Sarah Palin to talk so long when he stood by her at a podium in Iowa Tuesday and received Sarah's endorsement for president. For fifteen minutes he had to stand onstage without talking. Trump calls it the most painful experience of his life. 

The Los Angeles Rams held a season ticket sale online from team headquarters at the Forum on Thursday. They got ten thousand orders in ten minutes but then the team website malfunctioned and crashed. As a result, half the Rams fans have season tickets and the other half have ObamaCare. 

The Acapulco Times reported that a married couple in Mexico gave birth last week to a rare healthy set of quadruplets. The babies were born a few weeks early and caught the mother and father completely by surprise. That explains why the children were born in Mexico instead of Arizona. 

Democratic Socialist candidate Bernie Sanders went flying by Hillary Clinton in an Iowa poll Monday due to voters' mistrust. He's quite exotic to Iowans. However, Bernie still gets agitated whenever somebody asks him if he's going to do another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm if he loses. 

Donald Trump jokingly told a crowd Saturday his followers are so loyal to him he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and they'd still support him. It's not just talk. Trump not only said he could shoot somebody and still get elected, he volunteered to demonstrate it on Ted Cruz. 

The Pentagon said the U.S. will send eighteen hundred ground troops into Iraq to help capture Mosul in Iraq and Acca in Syria. The same day, an Arkansas teenager said he was turned down by the Marines because of a Confederate tattoo on his arm. They told him we aren't THAT mad at ISIS. 

Bernie Sanders took a twenty-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire Monday. He is seventy-four years old. Bernie Sanders could be the first U.S. president whose State of the Union speech is interrupted forty-seven times by applause and twenty-three times because he has to go tinkle. 

Donald Trump attended a Presbyterian service in Des Moines Sunday where the female pastor promoted amnesty. He stayed cool. During the communion ritual, when the pastor held up the bread and wine and announced the presence of the Son of God, Trump stood and waved to the congregation. 

Donald Trump said he will skip Thursday's Fox news debate because Megyn Kelly is there. She tried to embarrass him in the first debate by quoting his salty exchanges with his female critics. Later that night, Trump called Megyn a bimbo, so it's only a matter of time before he asks her to marry him. 

President Obama touted Hillary Clinton for president in a Politico interview Monday where he described his former Secretary of State as wicked smart. It had to help. President Obama added that there's no limit to what Hillary can accomplish as president if she's willing to ignore the Constitution. 

Hillary Clinton fended off questions about her e-mail scandal during Monday's televised town hall meeting on CNN. The FBI has one hundred-fifty agents working the case. No one wants to say Hillary could be indicted any day now, but this morning the dry cleaners made her pay in advance. 

Hillary Clinton sounded frail in a CNN town hall meeting for Democratic candidates Monday night with the race tightening. It's about to get serious. The CBS poll has Bernie Sanders beating Hillary Clinton by two points and another poll has Hillary beating Bernie Sanders with a folded chair. 

Ringling Brothers yielded to pressure and agreed to take elephants out of the circus starting in April. Sometimes animal rights activists seem to go overboard. Last week a San Francisco zoo euthanized one of its elephants, not because it was sick, but because they thought it was a Republican. 

New York former mayor Mike Bloomberg admitted Tuesday that he's considering running for president as an Independent. A financial analysis recently estimated Mike Bloomberg's worth at fifty billion dollars. He sees himself as five times more qualified to be president than Donald Trump is. 

Donald Trump refused to participate to the Fox News debate Thursday because he doesn't get along with moderator Megyn Kelly. It's getting nasty. Yesterday Donald Trump described Megyn Kelly as a bimbo, and out of habit, Hillary Clinton ordered her to be destroyed before she goes public. 

Barack Obama met Bernie Sanders at the White House Wednesday in tribute to the socialist's popularity. Ben and Jerry's just came up with a new ice cream flavor inspired by Bernie Sanders. It sells in the grocery store for two-ninety-nine a quart, and after taxes it's six hundred thousand dollars. 

The Environmental Protection Agency fired the federal administrator who oversaw the quality of drinking water in Michigan. The world has completely flipped in my lifetime. Believe it or not, there was once a time when all the GM jobs were in Flint and you couldn't drink the water in Mexico.
