A plane filled with 60 stray cats and dogs was flown from Louisiana to California to ensure the needy animals were spared the wrath of Hurricane Ida.
The 60 pets landed in El Cajon, about 17 miles east of downtown San Diego, in a flight flown by volunteers and coordinated by Seattle-based nonprofit Greater Good Charities. It landed on Saturday afternoon.
'In Louisiana and Mississippi, they were maxed out to capacity. Kennels were full and kennels were lining hallways,' Jessica Gercke, public relations coordinator for the Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego, told local station KFMB.

In the short clip, user @eagerem says people can simply walk into a movie theater and buy popcorn—even if they have no intention of seeing a movie. She records the video from her car, where two large boxes of popcorn are visible.
Of course, this isn’t really a huge movie theater hack. Over the years, people have repeatedly asked on Reddit, Quora, and other question-based websites whether this was possible.
Not every movie theater allows this, either. In the comments of @eagerem’s video, several users pointed out that their local theaters check tickets before the concession stand. Since posting her video, it’s been viewed over 1.5 million times.
And the ‘hack’ appears to have surprised at least some of the video’s viewers.
“Something that feels illegal, but isn’t,” one user commented.

“Movie popcorn is literally the most overpriced thing in the world,” one user said.
“That’s $40 in popcorn,” another wrote.

Joe McCarthy was never defeated — and Donald Trump now leads the movement he created
------
McCarthy was elected to the Senate from Wisconsin in 1946, and his early years in office were unmemorable — except for one revealing episode. He denounced the death sentences handed down in U.S.-occupied Germany to a group of Waffen-SS soldiers convicted of murdering American troops in an event known as the Malmedy massacre. This moment in McCarthy's career, though virtually forgotten today, is highly instructive On the surface, he presented himself as a crusader for justice, arguing that the Army was covering up judicial misconduct and that this called into question the validity of the Germans' confessions. (He never provided any evidence for this.)
In fact, McCarthy was doing something much more sinister. On some level he understood that defending a group of Nazis would appeal to the antisemitic American far right at a moment when expressing public hatred for Jews was unacceptable. At least implicitly, McCarthy was accusing the Jewish Americans who helped investigate the crimes of seeking vengeance and perpetrating injustice. Today we might call this flipping the script: Suddenly Jewish people, in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, were persecutors, and "Aryan" Germans — those who had committed mass murder — were their victims.
That wasn't enough to make McCarthy a right-wing superstar, probably because any hint of pro-Nazi sympathies was completely out of bounds in the postwar years. McCarthy needed a different vehicle to achieve political stardom and found it in 1950 when, while delivering a speech in West Virginia, he claimed to have a list of more than 200 known Communists who were allowed to work in the State Department. (No such list existed.) '
The speech was a smash hit and over the course of four years, the Wisconsin senator accused countless people of either actually being Communists, being "Communist sympathizers" (whatever that meant) or being "soft on Communism," a hopelessly vague term that could be applied to almost anyone who didn't support open military confrontation with the Soviet Union. With America on edge during the early years of the Cold War, McCarthy inflamed widespread paranoia, without once provided evidence that any of his targets had done anything illegal. That didn't much matter: He was saying what unhappy right-wingers wanted to hear, and they supported him with enthusiasm. (Yeah, some of this might sound familiar.) gave him tremendous political influence as a result.

'When the bell rings, you're in my hallway': Video shows school employee punching a 7th-grader
A school security monitor was arrested and fired from a Florida school after he was caught on video punching a middle-schooler in the shoulder.
According to WSVN, the incident occurred on Thursday. In a cell phone recording of the event, the monitor, Antwan Ruffin, is seen shoving the child.
“Try me,” says Ruffin, who stands 6 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. “When the bell rings, you’re in my hallway.”
Ruffin is seen shoving the student first. The boy says something in response, but it’s not heard in the video. The 40-year-old monitor continues to scream at the child.
“Bring them all,” Ruffin said, referring to kid's father and uncle. “I ain’t scared of none of them. Bring them all.”
After Ruffin asks whether the child wants a phone to call, he hits the kid in his right shoulder. Ruffin later holds him by his backpack and escorts the kid down a flight of stairs.
Ruffin was arrested by Miami-Dade Schools Police and charged with child abuse with no great bodily harm and battery, WSVN reports. He posted bond and was released on Thursday night.

Renter begs for help after finding landlord living in her garden shed of her newly rented home
A renter got more than she bargained for when she discovered her landlord was living in the garden shed of her newly leased property.
The woman took to Fairy Floss, a Facebook real estate group for metropolitan Melbourne, asking its 267,500 members for advice about the bizarre scenario.
She said her landlord had told her he would be storing some belongings in the shed, but it quickly became apparent that he was living there.
After confronting him, he offered to pay her $300 (AUD) a month if she allowed him to stay, insisting he would only be there for a maximum of 45 days.
But when the renter demanded her landlord sign a contract confirming he would leave the shed in 45 days, he changed his mind and said he needed to stay for three months.
