The Trump administration has always played fast and loose with standard vetting procedures for Oval Office personnel, but an incident this morning proved just how disastrous the consequences of Trump's disregard for basic protocol can be: Earlier today, the White House reportedly granted Cousin Itt full security clearance and he immediately ran off with the nuclear briefcase.

Whoa. This is not okay.

According to reports, the White House Personnel Security Office had originally denied clearance to Cousin Itt, citing numerous concerns including "vulnerability to foreign influence, connections to the notorious Addams Family, and sexual misconduct," only for their decision to be personally overruled by President Trump in spite of repeated warnings. Inside sources allege that just minutes after Cousin Itt's application was officially approved, he burst into the Oval Office, yanked the briefcase containing launch codes for America's nuclear arsenal-commonly known as the "nuclear football"-away from the military aide charged with protecting it, and ran out of sight with it into the streets of D.C. The Secret Service and FBI immediately launched a large-scale manhunt, and soon after, a long-haired suspect believed to be Cousin Itt was neutralized by gunfire only to then be identified as a Yorkshire terrier. As of press time, Cousin Itt remains at large.

This incident is only more infuriating considering how preventable it was. Cousin Itt reportedly failed to meet even the most basic standards necessary for top-secret clearance under White House protocol, and his interview with Personnel officials was rife was with red flags including not providing any form of personal identification, refusing to remove his bowler hat or sunglasses to take a photo for his security badge, and insisting he enter the building through the chimney. Any other administration would have immediately recognized Cousin Itt as wholly unfit for access to sensitive intelligence, but Trump simply waved off officials' concerns and demanded that "Cousin Itt, my longtime friend-and a great man with total loyalty!-be granted the highest level of security clearance."

Unsurprisingly, Trump's press team is already trying to spin this PR disaster into a success, asserting that our nation's nuclear codes are safer than ever before in Cousin Itt's hands, and that if Cousin Itt launches a nuclear attack, President Trump completely trusts his judgement.

What an absolutely disgraceful situation. People's lives are now at risk because our nation's top officials think the law doesn't apply to their personal associates.

If you weren't questioning this administration's integrity before, you must be now in light of this incredibly alarming incident. Let's hope President Trump gets his act together and starts taking vetting seriously because it is completely unacceptable for the leader of the free world to behave this recklessly.

A Reckless Administration: The White House Reportedly Granted Cousin Itt Full Security Clearance And He Immediately Ran Off With The Nuclear Briefcase

This man has come up with a brilliant plan to avoid talking to his boring coworkers. He has decided that when using the urinal he will wait there longer than he needs to while his coworkers are washing their hands. He is a true renaissance man and we should all applaud his work and contributions to the world. As much as he loved to talk to Alec Thurgood about his recent chess matches, it just became to much for him. Part of his strategy also includes: if he is leaving and another coworker comes in he pretends to still be at the urinal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are few things in this world more marvelous to behold than the mind of a master strategist at work. Perhaps there's no better example of this rare type of genius than this man pretending to piss for a little longer at the urinal so he doesn't have to talk to one of his coworkers who is washing his hands.

He has orchestrated and executed this remarkable plan flawlessly, and it is simply stunning to observe.

Realizing that zipping up his fly and heading over to the sink to wash his hands would force him to make uncomfortable small talk with his coworker, 26-year-old Alec Thurgood is wisely continuing to stand at the urinal with his penis out even though he is no longer pissing. Alec's keen strategic mind has calculated that he only needs to buy himself an additional 15 to 20 seconds before his coworker dries his hands and leaves the bathroom, and by staring forward at the wall as if he is still urinating, Alec is deftly ensuring that he will make it back to his desk without having to talk to anyone.

Simply incredible. Alec is playing chess while his pissing coworkers play checkers. And it's a beautiful sight to behold!

Like all strategic geniuses, Alec is capable of adapting to unforeseen obstacles and redrawing his battle plans at a moment's notice. Just moments ago, a second coworker unexpectedly walked into the bathroom just as the first left. Alec had already zipped his pants up, but rather than panicking and leaving his urinal, which would guarantee an awkward greeting, Alec has shrewdly decided to remain at his urinal another 10 seconds with his fly zipped up and his hands at his crotch as though he's still holding his penis! What a fantastic pivot of strategy. This cunning move will allow Alec to perfectly time his exit for the point when this newly arrived coworker enters the toilet stall, ensuring a conversation-free trip to the bathroom.

Bravo. This is not an easy maneuver to pull off, and it's absolutely awe-inspiring that this Mozart of the bathroom was able to make it look so easy. Thanks to Alec's masterful bathroom trip scheme, he'll soon be back at his desk without having to talk to anybody. We should all be taking notes on this brilliant strategy!

Brad Paisley breaks ground on a free grocery store in Nashville. Him, his wife, and Belmont University are working to make a grocery store for people who need food, but don't have enough money. There will be volunteers for the university scanning the items, but no one will have to pay. The mechanical horse outside the store will be free too.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Country star Brad Paisley took the controls of a backhoe to dig up the first pile of dirt in the space that will become a free grocery store to support needy families in Nashville, Tennessee.

Paisley donned a cowboy hat-shaped construction helmet for part of Wednesday's groundbreaking ceremony for The Store, which is a partnership with his alma mater Belmont University.

The country star and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, said they got the idea after volunteering with their kids at a similar store called the Unity Shoppe in Santa Barbara, California. Construction on the Nashville store is projected to be completed by the end of the year.
BRAD AND KIMBERLY WILLIAMS-PAISLEY TO OPEN FREE GROCERY STORE IN NASHVILLE
"Hunger and food insecurity is a real issue in Nashville," said Williams-Paisley. "One in seven people deal with food insecurity. That means they don't know where their next meal is coming from. And it's even worse for kids, one in five children."

The store will operate like a real grocery store so that people can go shopping through the aisles and Belmont students and other volunteers will scan their items, but no money will change hands.

"We really want to get people before this is a major crisis," Williams-Paisley said. "We want to help people in this gap where they are trying to get back on their feet."

The store will be located on Belmont's campus and next to the university's Ministry Center, which will provide heath care and legal aid ministry clinics.

Paisley said this model "takes away the sting of embarrassment for a parent who maybe feels that way because they can't feed their kid."

Even the mechanical horse for kids on the outside of the store will be free, he said.

"The kids should not know what their parent is going through," Paisley said. "That's not stress a child needs."

ICE arrests more than 280 at Texas business. This was the biggest workplace immigration raid in over a decade.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Federal immigration authorities arrested more than 280 employees of a Texas company in what officials said was the biggest single workplace raid in a decade.

The homeland security investigations unit of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said the employees of CVE Technology Group Inc. in the city of Allen, north of Dallas, were arrested on administrative immigration violations and that they were working in the United States unlawfully.

The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into complaints that the company may have knowingly hired people who are in the U.S. without authorization and that many of those workers were using fraudulent identification documents, the agency said.

CVE Group Inc. is a New Jersey-based company that refurbishes and repairs consumer tech products and has a national receiving center in North Texas, according to the company's website.

The company could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday.

"Our focus is the criminal investigation," said Katrina W. Berger, a special agent in charge for ICE's Homeland Security Investigations in Dallas.

"As far as immigration-related arrests, this is the largest ICE worksite operation at one site in the last 10 years," she said.

Relatives of workers came to the facility after word of the operation spread, some emotional and wondering about their loved ones, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported.

Anel Perez, the daughter of a worker who was been detained, told the station, "It's not fair. It's really sad and it makes a lot of people really angry and frustrated,"

Berger said she could not discuss many details of that ongoing probe but that "the numbers of the administrative arrests we made today hint at the significant scope of this investigation."

ICE said that all those arrested would be interviewed "to record any medical, sole-caregiver or other humanitarian situations," and that the federal agency would then determine whether any would be considered for humanitarian release.

But the agency also said in the statement, "In all cases, all illegal aliens encountered will be fingerprinted and processed for removal from the United States."

Berger said that authorities were still vetting information and she did not have the nationalities, ages or any criminal backgrounds of those taken into custody.

ICE said that search warrants were executed at CVE Technology Group Inc. and four of CVE's staffing companies.

Berger said that federal law requires all employers verify that workers are in the country legally with an I-9 form. ICE said an audit of those forms that began in January "confirmed numerous hiring irregularities."

"In this case with CVE, we received many tips that they were hiring illegal aliens who were using fraudulent documents," she said.

Berger, speaking generally and not about this case, said that immigration laws aim to ensure U.S. citizens and legal residents have a fair chance at getting jobs and that companies compete on the same playing field.

In addition, workers hired illegally can be abused and exploited such as by being paid less or subjected to unsafe working conditions, she said.

A 14 year old boy in Ohio has identified himself as Timmothy Pitzen the 6 year old boy who vanished in 2011. He said he escaped the 2 kidnappers who had been holding him for years after his mother committed suicide.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Investigators claim that a 14-year-old boy in Ohio identified himself on Wednesday as Timmothy Pitzen, a 6-year-old boy who vanished in 2011, and said he had just escaped the grasp of two kidnappers who allegedly held him for seven years.

The boy told police that on Wednesday morning, he had "just escaped from two kidnappers" whom he described as white men with body builder physiques, according to an incident report from the Sharonville Police Department obtained by The Associated Press.
TEXAS BOY, 9, MISSING SINCE 2017 FOUND IN FLORIDA
"One had black curly hair, Mt. Dew shirt and jeans, & has a spider web tattoo on his neck," the report stated. "The other was short in stature and had a snake tattoo on his arms."

The self-identified Pitzen said the men were driving a newer model of a Ford SUV with Wisconsin license plates. The boy said that after he escaped, he "kept running across a bridge into Kentucky."

Sharonville Police wrote on Facebook that they had no contact with Pitzen, and the aforementioned report included information from a dispatch log.

Investigators have said that Pitzen disappeared after his mother, 43-year-old Amy Fry-Pitzen, picked him up from school in May 2011. It's believed she took the boy to the zoo and a water park in Wisconsin before apparently killing herself in a hotel room in Illinois.

Fry-Pitzen left a note saying her son was fine. Police investigating her death said she took steps that suggested she might have, as she said in her note, dropped her son off with a friend.

The FBI Louisville field office confirmed on Twitter Wednesday that they were working with several law enforcement agencies - including the Cincinnati field office, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Ohio and police in Aurora, Illinois, Newport, Kentucky and Cincinatti, Ohio - on a missing child investigation.

Aurora Police Sgt. Bill Rowley told the AP Wednesday afternoon that the boy "disappeared ten years ago and we've probably had thousands of tips of him popping up in different areas."

"We have no idea what we're driving down there for," he said. "It could be Pitzen. It could be a hoax."

The department said they know there's a boy involved but don't know who he is, or if he has any connection to Pitzen, Rowley said, adding the force is sending two detectives to Cincinnati to investigate.

"Money is the space of life" - A famous person

Quite possibly the biggest win for science is achieved when the Hubble Space Telescope which has helped NASA chart undiscovered galaxies and precise imagery has found a crisp 20 dollars in space .“This isn’t a $5 bill or even a 10—this is a $20 bill, and it is a truly monumental discovery for our agency and for humankind at large,” - NASA administrator, Jim Bridenstine. “This $20 bill is in good condition and ready to be spent at any corner store, restaurant, or retail establishment. It’s enough money to pay for one or even two work lunches, provided you go somewhere relatively inexpensive like Chipotle, and we could not be more thrilled to have found it.”

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In its 29 years of service, the Hubble Space Telescope has charted galaxies, located far-off exoplanets, and provided breathtakingly precise imagery of our own solar system, and now it looks like it has made one of its most exciting discoveries yet: NASA just revealed that the Hubble telescope has found a $20 bill!

Wow. Amazing!

NASA made the bombshell announcement at a press conference this morning, where it was revealed that the Hubble Telescope found a perfectly good 20-spot lying in the deep outer reaches of our solar system where anyone could pick it up if they wanted. Bearing no visible rips and all the necessary anti-counterfeit features of legitimate currency, NASA expressed confidence that it's a genuine legal-tender bill, adding that it appears wholly untarnished by the harsh vacuum of outer space.

"This isn't a $5 bill or even a 10-this is a $20 bill, and it is a truly monumental discovery for our agency and for humankind at large," said NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine. "This $20 bill is in good condition and ready to be spent at any corner store, restaurant, or retail establishment. It's enough money to pay for one or even two work lunches, provided you go somewhere relatively inexpensive like Chipotle, and we could not be more thrilled to have found it."

It's only been a few days since the $20 bill was first identified, but Bridenstine says NASA researchers are already hard at work exploring the scientific implications of the discovery, such as whether there could be additional $20 bills out in space somewhere or perhaps even a $50 bill. He added that, according to early data from the agency's mathematical forecasting models, there could theoretically be trillions of undiscovered twenties scattered throughout the universe, just lying there for the taking. While Bridenstine noted that this first $20 bill is too deep in the cosmos to be reached by existing spacecraft, NASA will be shifting billions of dollars in research money towards developing new technology that's capable of doing so, with an ambitious goal of retrieving the money by as soon as 2030.

Incredible!

In an era of slashed budgets and waning interest in space exploration, it's easy to forget that NASA is still making incredible and important discoveries about our universe. But here's hoping that the discovery of this $20 bill inspires the public imagination and sparks a renewed curiosity in what lies beyond.

When Terry Thomas’ long and messy divorce from Cynthia Guy was finalized in 2014, he was eager to move on with his life. However, his ex-wife had sinister plans that nearly ended his life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When Terry Thomas' long and messy divorce from Cynthia Guy was finalized in 2014, he was eager to move on with his life. However, his ex-wife had sinister plans that nearly ended his life.

The businessman from Wyoming has come forward for the season premiere of Oxygen's true crime series "Murder for Hire." The new show, from executive producer Dick Wolf, of "Law & Order" fame, explores the dark world of contract killings, highlighting some of the most shocking murder-for-hire cases ever caught on tape from across the country.
DA DETAILS 'SINISTER MINISTER' WHOSE TWO WIVES SUFFERED MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN DOC
Guy, a Central Wyoming Counseling Center therapist, was arrested and charged in 2014 with solicitation of first-degree murder after she asked one of her patients, whom she believed might have gang connections, to arrange for the murder of Thomas and make it look like a suicide or robbery gone wrong, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.

The patient acted as a confidential informant for the police and a Division of Criminal Investigation agent posed as a hit man named Frankie.

Thomas, along with investigators associated with his case, including the undercover agent, participated in the docuseries.

Thomas told Fox News he was initially hesitant to relive the horrifying incident for the series, but eventually felt his experience could help educate others and make them aware that anyone could have easily been in his shoes.

"I wanted to let other people know what can happen and how bad things can get really go beyond most people's wildest dreams - certainly mine," he said.
CONVICTED CHILD KILLER'S DAUGHTER TELLS ALL IN DOC
But life with Guy wasn't always terrifying. Thomas first met her through an online dating site in 2004 and the relationship moved quickly. After seven months of dating, the single parents looking for love tied the knot. While Thomas worked as a successful businessman, Guy secured a position at the counseling center, where she treated patients with addiction problems who had been court-mandated to get clean.

"It was a roller coaster," recalled Thomas. "It started out as most marriages do. You're in love, you don't think things are ever going to be bad. But I guess fairly quickly, I saw changes. I guess the best way to describe it really is a roller coaster. It went up and down all the time. Unfortunately, there were probably more downs than ups after a while."

Thomas claimed that his wife started behaving like "Jekyll and Hyde" and would immediately snap for no apparent reason. The marriage further deteriorated when Thomas found a job nearly three hours away. Guy had no intention of moving with him.

"The relationship became a shouting match on the phone every night," said Thomas.
SHOCKING DR. DEATH CASE REVEALED
Thomas said he reached his breaking point in 2012 filed for divorce. According to the show, Thomas received a majority of the couple's real estate assets. While Guy attempted to appeal the divorce decree, it was finalized by the Supreme Court of the State of Wyoming in 2014. Guy, who was living in one of Thomas' rental properties, was ordered to vacate.

Looking back, Thomas said Guy gave a warning sign of what was to come.

"Before I filed for divorce [two years prior], she made a very odd comment," he claimed. "She actually said at one point, 'I'm going to kill you or have you killed.' Everybody at some point gets angry. A lot of people spurt out 'I'm going to kill you.' But 99.9 percent don't mean it. It's just something said out of anger that most people in no way intend to follow through."

"The way she said it, 'I'm going to kill you or have you killed,' struck me a little bit differently," continued Thomas. "I actually went to a safe house here in Cheyenne and requested at that time an order of protection, but could not get it because they said no judge would issue an order of protection or a restraining order based on words alone. Since she hadn't done anything, there was nothing anybody can do."
DETECTIVE REFLECTS ON 'SENSELESS' MURDER CASE IN DOC
In the show, it was revealed that Guy approached one of her patients and asked if she knew someone from the "Mexican mafia" who could arrange Thomas' murder. Stunned, the patient lied and said she had a cousin who could commit the deed. She then contacted police, prompting a weeklong investigation.

The FBI showed up at Thomas' door with the devastating news.

"I was shocked," he admitted. "... My gut instinct was that she had made up some horrific story and accused me of something heinous. I actually said to him... 'What did that crazy b-- do now?' I was speechless. How can you possibly feel when you find out somebody actually had a hit out on you?"

Even though the FBI helped Thomas go into hiding, he was still frightened. It turned out Guy had contacted more than one person before the patient agreed to help.

"We didn't know if there was more out there," he said. "I wasn't relieved just knowing they're on to her."

Hidden cameras showed Guy, who agreed to pay $4,000 for the hit, not only met up with the supposed assassin but showed the undercover agent how to enter Thomas' home discreetly.
BTK'S DAUGHTER TELLS ALL IN DOC
"You get one shot," Guy ordered the agent, calling the contract killing "just f--- business."

"Don't f-- it up," she warned. "Cause you f-- it up, I will go down."

The agent later sent a coded text message to Guy informing her that the killing was done. Police then went to Guy's house and told her Thomas was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Guy attempted to show emotion before she was charged with solicitation of first-degree murder. Guy originally denied having any knowledge of a murder plot, but police revealed the taped conversations were key evidence and showed otherwise.

"How can someone you shared your life with do and say those things?" said Thomas. "It's just mind-boggling to me. I still don't understand."

In 2016, the Casper Star-Tribune reported Guy was sentenced to 20 to 25 years in prison. Still, Thomas said the idea of Guy ever being free one day keeps him up at night.

"She is incarcerated with like-minded people," he explained. "Some of those people aren't going to be in as long as she is. What kind of plot is she potentially still thinking about? And even though I'm supposed to be made aware of her movements, the Department of Justice has failed miserably. She has been moved several times and I didn't know about it. When I called to complain after I found out, I was just given an apology. ... I have no idea of people she has befriended and whether they're getting out. What potential is there?"

Thomas added that while Guy apologized to her family, co-workers and community during her sentencing, she never issued one to him.

"I don't think she has remorse," he said.

Thomas is looking forward to his future, but can't help but be haunted by the past. He has a more difficult time trusting people.

"I am trying not to let her win and affect me to the point that I can't go on, I can't enjoy things," he explained. "So I am doing a lot more. I have a great work life, a very good personal life. I'm just trying to move on. I'm certainly more observant about my surroundings. I have lights on all around the house, even at night. Has it affected me in some ways? Yes, absolutely. I can't deny that. But I'm trying the best I can to live well."

If there's one message Thomas has for audiences is to tread carefully when a tumultuous relationship comes to an end.

"I don't believe it's good to stay in a bad relationship, but when it's time to exit... be aware of what potential is there," he warned. "Never would I thought it would have come to this. Sometimes people you think you know are the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Murder for Hire" airs April 7 at 7 p.m. on Oxygen.

Police arrested a Washington man who raped a women while pretending to be her "ride-share" ( Uber Passenger)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police arrested a Washington state man who they believe raped a woman while pretending to be her ride-share driver.

Authorities say a man turned himself in on Wednesday, a day after police shared surveillance footage of his face and identified him as a person of interest in a December sexual assault.

Police in King County, Washington, which encompasses Seattle, said the 34-year-old unidentified suspect turned himself in after a family member recognized him in surveillance footage from outside of the victim's home.

(King County Sheriff's Office) Police released images of a suspect who allegedly raped a woman in Seattle in December 2018.

"Thanks to the extensive media coverage, a family member recognized the person of interest and, a short time later, the 34-year-old male turned himself in," the King County Sheriff's Office said in statement Wednesday. "Upon further investigation, the suspect was arrested today at his attorney's office and booked into the King County Jail for investigation of rape."

Police said the suspect led the woman to believe that he was her driver, but detectives have not "been unable to associate the man with any ride-share company."

Investigators had been seeking the suspect since December, when a woman alleged that a ride-share driver had raped her after picking her up from a bar, according to police.

(King County Sheriff's Office) Police released images of a suspect who allegedly raped a woman in Seattle in December 2018.

"She went outside to catch her rideshare home that a friend had ordered for her. A man in a black vehicle, possibly a Dodge Charger, led her to believe he was her ride-share driver," the office said in a statement. "While driving her home, the victim states the man pulled the vehicle over and raped her."

The sheriff's office did not provide any details about the suspect's identity in the statement. It was unclear if he had been charged as of late Wednesday night.

The arrest comes as lawmakers debate the potential safety risks of ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft. South Carolina legislators recently introduced the "Samantha L. Josephson Ridesharing Safety Act," a bill named after a 21-year-old University of South Carolina student who was killed last weekend after getting into a vehicle she mistook for her Uber.

(King County Sheriff's Office) Police released images of a suspect who allegedly raped a woman in Seattle in December 2018.

The bill would require ride-sharing vehicles to have an illuminated, company-provided sign with the company's "trademark or logo that is patently visible so as to be seen in darkness," the legislature said.

Josephson was alone when she mistakenly jumped into a stranger's car early Friday morning. She died from multiple sharp force injuries, officials said, and her body was recovered in a wooded area.

Police arrested Nathaniel Rowland on charges of murder and kidnapping in connection with Josephson's death, according to police. He is next due in court on April 22.
