Wisconsin man spends night drinking convenience store's beer cooler

Wisconsin man spends night drinking convenience store's beer cooler



http://www.ktnv.com/news/national/wisconsin-man-spends-night-drinking-convenience-store-s-beer-cooler

A Wisconsin man was arrested Wednesday after he spent the night drinking beer and malt beverages in a convenience store cooler.

Jeremy Van Ert, 38, stopped into a Kwik Trip convenience store in Marshfield, Wisconsin to buy beer just before midnight on Tuesday evening. When he went into the store's cooler to grab the beverages, he says the cooler door locked behind him.

Believing he was locked in the cooler for the night, Van Ert decided to make the most of his situation. He reportedly drank three cans of Four Loko and an 18-ounce can of beer.

However, police say that the Kwik Trip is open 24 hours a day, and that Van Ert just needed to knock on the cooler's glass door to get the attention of an attendant.

President Donald Trump’s fan club is throwing a party in January to celebrate his first year as president — and to support Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, which saw an exodus of private charity events booked for galas this coming winter season.

The Trumpettes will host a Red, White and Blue Celebration for the first anniversary of Trump’s presidency, to be held Jan. 18 in the Grand Ballroom of Mar-a-Lago on Palm Beach, said Toni Holt Kramer, the Trumpette’s founder and an ardent Trump supporter. The party is being held two days before the anniversary of Trump’s Jan. 20, 2017, inauguration as the 45th President of the United States.

The Trumpettes started out as a group of four wealthy and well-connected women seeking to get Trump elected president back in 2015. It has mushroomed into thousands of supporters nationwide and even around the world, leading to numerous television appearances and articles about Holt Kramer and her cause.

Holt Kramer, a former model and Hollywood reporter, said she came up with the party idea after seeing a parade of charities this summer pulling their winter fundraising events from Mar-a-Lago. The exodus followed Trump’s controversial comments following the neo-Nazi and white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Va. in August.

Donald Trump Jr. slams Hillary Clinton in birthday tweet



https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/donald-trump-jr-slams-hillary-clinton-in-birthday-tweet/

Donald Trump Jr. used Hillary Clinton’s birthday on Thursday as an opportunity to take a dig at the former Democratic presidential nominee calling her out for her hubris in a tweet in 2016 announcing herself as the future president.

“A year later the arrogance and entitlement in this tweet is exactly why it was never going to happen,” President Donald Trump’s eldest son said. He added an image of the tweet Clinton had posted ayear ago that showed her as a young girl. “Happy birthday to this future president,” she wrote at the time.

Clinton sent the tweet less than two weeks before the November 8 election that propelled Trump to the White House. At the time she was riding high in the polls.

Trump Jr. has made frequent media appearances in defence of his father’s administration over the last year. Earlier this month he attacked the media for its reaction to the president's handling of the race-related violence in Charlottesville, Virginia in August. "He condemned...the white nationalists and the left-wingers. That should not have been controversial, but it was,” Trump told a gathering at Faulkner University in Alabama.

God Bless That Other Guy: Trump tweets happy birthday to the wrong Lee Greenwood

Trump tweets happy birthday to the wrong Lee Greenwood

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/trump-tweets-happy-birthday-wrong-lee-greenwood-article-1.3593024?cid=bitly

President Trump didn't do himself proud on Twitter Friday morning, appearing to wish congratulations to the wrong Lee Greenwood.

"Happy birthday to the great @leegreenwood83. You and your beautiful song have made such a difference. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he posted.

October 27 was the 75th birthday of singer Lee Greenwood, best known for his ultra-patriotic song “God Bless the U.S.A”

However, @leegreenwood83 is not the flag-waving performer, but an account that says it belongs to a New York lawyer with the same name.

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter
5:03 PM - 13 Oct 2014


In August it was reported Trump took three times as much holiday as Obama during the same period of time into his presidency.

According to an NBC News tracker of the number of days Trump spends on his golf courses, October 22 marked the 75th day of Trump’s 279 day presidency spent playing golf. That means that Trump has played golf on average every 3.7 days.
