In October of 1989, the 11-year-old boy was riding home from the store with his younger brother and a friend. A masked gunman approached them and demanded them to lie face down on the ground. The younger brother and friend ran into the woods. Jacob Wetterling was never seen again. Recently, authorities found the remains of the young boy, bringing a heartbreaking end to this tragedy. Bringing it back to the present, a news anchor brought viewers up-to-speed on the latest from authorities. In stories like this, the actual story would be the centerpiece. Unfortunately, a columnist named CJ for the Star Tribune had nothing better to do than to comment on news anchor Jana Shortal's skinny jeans: "She looked great from the waist up in a polka-dot shirt and cool blazer, but the skinny jeans did not work. I w...

I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton." In an attempt to save his a**, he logged onto Twitter and said that he was being " sarcastic ." On Friday, Trump tweeted the following: "Ratings challenged @CNN reports so ...

The inflammatory tweets have since been deleted, but not before night owls could make screenshots of the tweets. On Thursday night, 5 police officers were killed and close to a dozen were injured at a protest rally. Mere hours after the incident, Joe Walsh, who has become a conservative radio host after failing as a politician, sent out the following tweets: My Two Cents Call me crazy, but that first tweet is a blatant threat toward our President. It's also a threat against all African-American individuals. Shouldn't officials arrest him? Listen, you don't have to like Obama to respect that he is our President. I am not a fan of his, but I would NEVER threaten him. He is our leader, and should be treated with respect. It's sad that Joe Walsh didn't r...

After news broke that President Obama was officially endorsing Hillary Clinton as the next President, Trump went on a Twitter rampage: " Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama-but nobody else does! " Within minutes, Hillary Clinton responded: Photo Credit: snopes Those three words sent a sonic boom throughout all of social media. In the span of 1 hour, Clinton's tweet was shared more than 130,000 times. The three words didn't stop Trump and some of his supporters from using cheap responses to her *mic drop* moment. At this time, "Delete Your Account" is the most retweeted campaign post on Twitter. Also #DeleteYourAccount has been making waves across soci...
