You know, when I was younger and I used to do something bad that I knew it was bad (though wouldn’t admit it at the time), my dad didn’t beat me. He didn’t yell at me, he didn’t hit me. He would just say, “I’m disappointed in you.”
If you raise your kids with a good moral compass and say that, it will sting worse than any slap or screaming. And if you say that to your kid and it doesn’t phase them, you didn’t do your job right.
Jack in the Box just came out with their “Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal.” Now at first I was skeptical. Because a Blueberry Muffin at Starbucks is 350 calories. And my mother makes a big batch of homemade oatmeal that consists of 1 cup of oil and 1 cup of honey, which both have tons of calories. However I was surprised to learn that the Jack in the Box breakfast option has 204 calories per serving.
Now that’s great, but besides the pesticides in the blueberries, the sugar they add to it, and the high-fructose corn syrup and other ingredients you can’t pronounce in the oatmeal… I still say you should just have some blueberries instead of breakfast.

This picture of Morehouse graduates drenched in rain yesterday has surprisingly caused quite a stir. Many are saying it’s indicative of Morehouse not having the money or common decency to implement a rain plan. If you see that when you look at this picture, I’m going to politely take the liberty to call you a cynic. To me this picture symbolizes the journey that so many black men endure everyday of their lives as they face countless obstacles yet continue to pursue success with unwavering determination. It is cynical to ignore the fortitude and thirst for knowledge in these men’s eyes for an opportunity to knock/shade/read Morehouse. Rain can’t stop the House, & life’s obstacles won’t stop these men.
FYI: Grads from major universities are soaked like this all the time with no controversy.”
Yep. I watched friends graduate in 2006 at UC Berkeley in torrential rain soooo…..
To me, this pictures says, “We’re gonna fucking walk, rain or shine.” Doesn’t matter if they’re black men, native american women, asian people who don’t identify with either of the two main genders, or you and me. College is hard for everybody, and to go to graduation and be able to walk is an accomplishment no matter the weather.
I’m down.

It’s not Monday in America until some toddler shoots himself in the face.
MyFox8, NC: Randolph County deputies said a 2-year-old boy accidentally shot and injured himself when he found a handgun at his home Saturday afternoon.
Deputies said the toddler saw his father’s handgun in his parents’ bedroom and put it in his mouth, where it accidentally went off.
Authorities said it happened around 2 p.m. at a home on Spring Valley Road, just outside the Asheboro city limits.
Deputies said the boy was taken to Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem and is listed in serious condition but expected to survive.
Authorities said the bullet missed the vital arteries in the neck and head and also missed the spinal cord. Deputies said it’s a miracle the child is still alive.
Remember, two-year-olds sticking guns in their mouths is exactly what the founders intended when they wrote the Constitution. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Thought you couldn’t hate Obama any more than you already do? This is absolutely absurd. Just the mere fact that he would ask (order) a Marine to do this shows he has no concept of respect. Think this is photoshopped? I got it from the CNN website. It’s completely true. Do a web search and you’ll see multiple sources. This President is absolutely worthless.
Title ten of the Armed Forces US Code says that members of the military do what is asked of them by their Commander in Chief. The man next to them is the Prime Minister of Hungary. It would be bad show to let the rain fall on the head of a visiting diplomat, and any Marine on Presidential duty is honored to be there. This is not about the umbrellas, it is about treating visiting dignitaries with honor and respect. To only have an umbrella over the head of Prime Minister Orban would be a sign of superiority or strength over the visiting PM. The president did the correct thing in the situation by showing enough respect for his fellow leader and giving them both an equal platform.
Y’all need to stop freaking the fuck out over stupid shit like umbrellas.
pls.
also he didn’t think he even needed the umbrella, thus resulting in this picture of him checking if it was even raining even more aka my favorite picture of him ever:
Speaking as the son of a former Army officer, OP’s post is even more disrespectful towards the Marine in the photo - and the US military in general - than it is towards the President. It shows that literally the only part of being in the military OP has respect for is the part that involves killing others and that is not the biggest part of the military by a long shot and is not the part of military service most members joined for. People join the military to serve the nation, and part of that is stuff like this. There is a reason active duty military do not and are not supposed to discuss their opinions of a President during that President’s term. The President is the Commander in Chief regardless of who they actually are. Republican, Democrat, third party, no longer existent party: it does not matter. Being art of the White House guard and the Presidential detail, especially when a foreign dignitary or leader is present, is one of the biggest honors in the military.
But it’s a fucking umbrella, so complaining about it in the first place is massively moronic.
OP postin’ some Fox news Facebook level shit.
‘Nuff said
