@realDonaldTrump
I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly,
@DebraMessing
came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me “Sir.” How times have changed!

Unruly Cows Descend On Upscale Neighborhood Night After Night

Unruly Cows Descend On Upscale Neighborhood Night After Night
The brash bovines have been tearing up lawns, scaring people and nearly causing car accidents, residents of a San Jose, California, neighborhood say.

People living in a pricey area of San Jose, California, have been dealing with an unexpected problem: nightly onslaughts of cows and bulls tearing up lawns, pooping everywhere and refusing to be shooed off by tactics like sprinklers.

Residents of Whitetail Lane in the neighborhood of Evergreen told The Mercury News earlier this week that the bovines started showing up a couple of months ago and began descending on the area on a near-nightly basis, departing again before dawn.

Some describe the cows as frighteningly bold.

“They ran toward us,” resident Tom Quach told the paper, describing an incident he said involved about six animals. “We turned on the sprinklers, but they just stood there and took a shower.”

While there are many grazing cows not too far from the neighborhood, it’s been somewhat of a mystery exactly where these particular cows were coming from. Jay Terrado of San Jose Animal Services told NBC Bay Area on Wednesday that the agency has identified a nearby man who believes the delinquent cows may belong to him and that someone has been cutting his fencing.

Terrado told news station KGO that despite the cows reportedly causing problems for the past two months, he only learned about the issue this week.

Quach added he’s spent hundreds of dollars replacing broken sprinkler heads damaged by the cows.

Residents speaking with various local media outlets also describe the large animals as a traffic hazard, saying they’ve had close calls behind the wheel after a cow surprised them in a road or driveway.

Kevin Hart suffers major back injuries in car crash - driver lost control of Hart's 70 Barracuda

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/01/entertainment/kevin-hart-car-crash/index.html

Actor-comedian Kevin Hart and two others were involved in a car crash in Calabasas, California early Sunday, according to a California Highway Patrol incident report obtained by CNN.

Hart and the driver, Jared Black, sustained "major back injuries" and were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment, the report states.
Black was driving Hart's 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, according to the report, when he lost control of the vehicle. It went off the road and rolled down an embankment.
Two of the three occupants were trapped in the vehicle. Hart left the scene to his nearby residence to get medical attention, the report states.

'It could have been worse': Trump downplays Texas mass shooting rampage in rambling rant on WH lawn

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/it-could-have-been-worse-trump-downplays-texas-mass-shooting-rampage-in-rambling-rant-on-white-house-lawn/

President Donald Trump on Sunday sought to downplay the mass shooting that left at least seven dead near Odessa, Texas.

“First Responders, law enforcement, the police, the FBI, Governor Abbott, incredible the job they did,” Trump opined to reporters on the White House lawn. “It is tragic. But they did it an incredible job under the circumstances. Another very sick person, so I just want to thank you everybody involved.”

“As bad as it was, it could have been worse, but it was certainly bad, very very sad situation,” he added.

When pressed on gun legislation, Trump argued that improved background checks would not have stopped any of the recent mass shootings.

“We’re looking at a lot of different things,” he said, “We’re looking at a lot of different bills, ideas, concepts. It’s been going on for a long while.”

Trump continued: “Background checks, I will say that for the most part, sadly, if you look at the last four or five, going back even five or six or seven years, for the most part, as strong as you make your background checks, they would not have stopped any of it. So it’s a big problem. It’s a mental problem. It’s a big problem.”
