There was a planned Alt-Right rally over the weekend on a San Francisco beach called Crissy
Field. Anti-Alt-right protesters decided to make the beach somewhat unpleasant for rally-goers
by organizing dog walkers to let their dogs poop all over the beach. An event was started
called "Leave your dog poop on Crissy Field." The dog walkers would then regroup on Sunday
to clean up the poop. The idea got a lot of support with one father even asking if it
was okay to unload his baby's diaper because he didn't have a dog. However others criticized
the idea saying the area should be kept beautiful. Still others suggested retaliating by picking
up the dog mess and throwing it onto the streets of San Francisco. ***America is really fun
right now, isn't it?

"Not being able to defer gratification may push them toward more impulsive behavior,

slowly turned into a serial killer.

An expecting couple in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania saw more than they expected during their baby's
sonogram. Yes it seems soon-to-be new parents Alicia Zeek and Zac Smith fully believe they
saw Jesus' face staring back at them during their baby girl's ultrasound. ahead of the
birth of their baby girl in Chambersburg. Smith said the image brought tears to his
eyes, while his fiance, Zeek, stood in disbelief. Smith says the image is a sign from heaven
and calls it a "blessing." The couple also put the image up on Facebook to see what others
think. Not to be all judging but do you really think that Jesus would choose a couple that
has had sex out of wedlock to reveal himself. The bible says that's a big no-no! Makes me
wonder. Could it really be... say... Satan?!
