It looks like Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders were all under federal investigation during the election.

Bernie Sanders' wife and former chief of staff Jane Sanders was hired as president of the nontraditional school Burlington College, that was already struggling. In her plan to expand the school, she falsely claimed almost $2 million in donations to repay a loan she secured for 33 acres of land. The land was purchased, but the school's donation and enrollment levels couldn't repay the loan. Jane Sanders was fired, and the school shut down in 2016. She claimed that the school was in excellent financial condition when she left.

The chairman of the Trump campaign in Vermont filed the claim which started the investigation. Bernie Sanders' office is mentioned as lobbying the bank to approve the loan.

"A man walks into a bar... after he was just hit by a double-decker bus. This is not a set up to a joke. This is a thing that actually happened.

In the video, you can see a double-decker bus careening out of control and striking a man walking on the sidewalk who was just minding his own business. He gets knocked off his feet and skids for several more before getting back up, seemingly uninjured.

The video’s caption reads,

A man was knocked down by a bus and he got right back up and walked into a bar. The 53-year-old man said he is lucky to be alive after being hit by the double-decker as he crossed the road in Reading, England. Nothing was stopping this guy from getting a pint of beer, not even a double-decker bus.
My man! You are an inspiration. I feel like I would have experienced some kind of shock after this. But the call of a pint was so much more powerful than anything mortal like fear or trauma. I’m not even sure I can get on that level.


I hope someone bought him a drink after that."

They've got their priorities straight across the pond... it reminds me of this guy:

Forget dogs - mailmen in Vancouver Canada have been getting attacked by a crow. It became so bad that they stopped delivering to that area.

Apparently the same crow stole a knife from a crime scene last year. What a hooligan.

Florida man sits on gun, shoots self in penis, police say

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man accidentally shot himself in the penis early Friday morning when he sat on a gun in the driver's seat of his car, police said.

Cedrick Jelks, 38, was taken to Memorial Hospital by 25-year-old Shanekia Roberts, who told police that Jelks was sitting in his Nissan Altima by himself and came into their home on Freedom Crossing Trail in a panic and ran straight to the bathroom.

She said she followed him and saw that he had a gunshot wound to his penis, so she took him to the hospital, where he underwent surgery.

She said Jelks told her he sat on the gun, which accidentally went off.

Investigators found that Jelks was convicted of cocaine possession in 2004.

It's possible he will be facing charges for possessing a firearm, because he is a convicted felon.
