A gentleman saved his home from the Northern California wildfires by spraying them with Bud Light. The Mercury News: Last Wednesday morning was a very harrowing time for Chad Little and his family, but he was thankfully able to find a bit of light in the situation. Light beer, that is.

Electra is growing insanely fast, and the playing never seems to stop. Pretzel likes to assert her tiny dog dominance.
Watch as a Fox Business can not fathom that the Trump White House administration is packed with liars.
Yet another fantastic take on current events by the folks at Juice Media. I have been voting for mail by years and in California it is easy to confirm your ballot was sent and received.
As we get closer to the election it appears the Trump Campaign is dropping all pretense: "The reason he called for the boycott was over MAGA. MAGA is pretty much unanimous with blue lives matter these days," said White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. WATCH : White House press secretary defends Trump's attack on Goodyear/PBS […]
In response to Goodyear Tires corporate policy that allows folks to wear items that display their support of racial justice and other issues of equity, but not racist red baseball caps, Orange Julius rages forth on Twitter!
