Sports Illustrated fans are always excited for the yearly Swimsuit Issue.
But according to Page Six, fans may not get the chance to see Sports Illustrated favorite Kate Upton on the cover this year.
A source close to the magazine revealed that the 24-year-old beauty may have been cut from one of the issue's three covers after her alleged diva-like demands became too much to bear.~snip~
What's the incentive for some corporations to be all pro-immigration legal or not?
The bottom line, they can hire immigrants cheaper than citizens and in the case of illegals they have the benefit of violating wage, safety and labor laws.
The goofy left seems to not care that they are making corporations richer and enabling exploitation.
Silly liberals.
Big American corporations got political at this year's Super Bowl with a series of adverts centered around immigration.
Just over a week after President Trump's controversial 'Muslim ban', some of America's biggest brands took aim at the policy with commercials promoting diversity and reminding America it was built by immigrants. One of the biggest stirs was caused by one of America's biggest brands; Budweiser.
Their dramatized story of its founder traveling from Germany to the U.S. to follow his dreams of brewing, only to face a hostile welcome, sparked fury among Trump voters who pledged not to drink the beer again. There were even calls to boycott several of the companies shortly after their ads aired, including Coca Cola and 84 Lumber.
However, others voiced their support for the controvesial adverts, with some saying they had been encouraged to try Buweiser for the first time.~snip~
I suppose the title is a little unfair seeing as how the ratings for Super Bowl 51 was still pretty huge but not as big as a few years ago.
I used to be a pretty big fan of the NFL mostly because I grew up watching it, my Dad was a fan and the games would be on every Sunday at our house until the year he died (1975).
I remember the first Super Bowl and most afterwards but to tell you the truth I lost interest over the last few years. The preening, vacuous announcers and sports media was annoying enough before they decided to become social justice warriors but now they have become insufferable.
One of the indicators of how far the Super Bowl has fallen has got to be that the most buzz on social medias was about the half time show. All the anticipation by the leftards of Lady Gags's epic tear down of Donald Trump.
Which didn't happen. Of course that hasn't stopped unhinged lefty's from scouring the performance looking for something....anything to point to to validate their expectations that Gaga would sympathize with their hate.
Actually the half time show wasn't bad and I'm happy for that. Her national anthem performance at Super Bowl 2016 was pretty good.
So maybe there is some hope that before I die the NFL can go back to becoming a pleasant diversion from politics and the pressures of our lives and entertainers can go back to entertaining.
Donald Trump's labor secretary nominee, Andrew Puzder, doesn't appreciate being the butt of his competitors' jokes. In 2007, CKE Restaurants, the fast food company headed by Puzder, sued rival Jack-in-the-Box for suggesting that the meat in Hardee's and Carl's Jr. angus beef burgers was anything but top quality. At issue were two ads from Jack-in-the-Box. In one ad, Jack-in-the-Box employees laughed every time the word Angus was said. In another, Jack, the company's mascot, leads a meeting where he refuses to point to where Angus beef comes from. "That's the sirloin area," Jack says, while pointing to an image of different cuts of beef from a cow. "Jack, our competitors serve Angus burgers. Could you point to the Angus area?," a man in the meeting asks. "I'd rather not," Jack responds.~snip~
From a consumers point of view ads like this should be hilarious and nothing more but, shockingly, there's an alarmingly significant number of people who allegedly don't get the joke.
CKE Restaurants saw initial setbacks in the case. Attempts to get an injunction to have ads removed from the air were denied, and a judge said he was not convinced by a survey submitted by CKE Restaurants that of 404 people, 36% thought Angus beef came from the butt of the cow.
Jason McFadden was at work one morning in late January when he got a text message from his wife, Cassie.
“What the crap do I do?” it read.
That text was followed by a picture — of a rattlesnake inside a toilet at their Texas home.
“Like everybody else,” Jason McFadden said, “my jaw dropped.”
McFadden said he recognized the snake was a threat, and told his wife to kill it. She grabbed a broom, he said, in an attempt to block it in the toilet. The snake, which had first been spotted by the couple’s young son, pushed its way out anyway, and slithered onto the floor.
Sparing you the details … rest in peace, toilet snake, which was no match for what came next. There was a garden hoe, a shovel and branch cutters involved. You can get the picture.~snip~
Two years, they're talking two years to finish the border wall on our southern border.
You gotta wonder about how we've wasted all this time, and lives lost, the property damaged and land littered. The acres of U.S. territory held hostage by human and drug smugglers because the politicians of both parties refused to act.
Both parties engaged in shameless Hispandering to the detriment of the voters in a rush to see who could kiss the asses of the loudest screaming grievance agitators.
Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly presented an ambitious schedule for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border during an interview Wednesday.
"The wall will be built where it's needed first, and then it will be filled in. That's the way I look at it," Kelly told Fox News. "I really hope to have it done within the next two years."
Kelly visited McAllen, Texas on Wednesday, where he learned first-hand about the challenges that border patrol agents face. One of the busiest areas along the border is the Rio Grande Valley, which is also known as the "RGV Sector." Border patrol agents pick up at least 600 people trying to cross the border into the U.S. illegally on any given day, Fox News reported.
"Any discussion about the protection of our southwest border involves discussion of physical barriers but also of technological sensors, things like that," Kelly said. "But it's a layered approach, and it’s got to be backed up by great men and women who are going to make sure that the wall is intact."~snip~
When the entrenched RINOs come up for re-election they'll try and take credit for controlling the border not bothering to mention that they obstructed construction of one for years.
Don't let them get away with it.
The country's bacon reserves are at the lowest levels in half a century.
In other words, pig farmers can't keep up with the world's sizzling appetite for those fatty, smoky strips of sheer eating pleasure.
The Ohio Pork Council, a Columbus-based non-profit, reported Tuesday that demand for frozen pork belly, frequently made into bacon, is outpacing supply.
“Today’s pig farmers are setting historic records by producing more pigs than ever,” said Rich Deaton, president of the organization. “Yet our reserves are still depleting.”
There are literally not enough little piggies going to market.~snip~
