Whether you're erasing wrinkles from models' faces or making yourself super tiny so you can ride a mouse, Photoshop is perfect for editing photos to your liking.
But it's not a skill that everyone has.
But it's not a skill that everyone has.
If you're not a whiz with Photoshop, sometimes you have to ask for help.
And that's where James Fridman enters.
Fridman is more than a whiz with photo-editing.
He's a veritable wizard.
But he also has quite the sense of humor.
And occasionally he takes people's requests for Photoshop help a little too literally.
Quick-Thinking JROTC Student Shielded Dozens with Kevlar Sheets During Florida High School Shooting | Tribunist
Quick-Thinking JROTC Student Shielded Dozens with Kevlar Sheets During Florida High School Shooting | Tribunist:"When Colton Haab heard gunfire ring out at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday, the training he received during his Junior ROTC classes kicked in.
The 17-year-old junior first led 60 to 70 students and faculty members to the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps room.
Then, he had an idea that helped shield them from the attack.
Haab realized that the Kevlar sheets, usually used as part of the JROTC’s marksmanship program, could provide a barrier between the group and the gunman.
“We took those sheets,” said Haab during an interview with CNN, “and we put them in front of everybody so they weren’t seen because they were behind a solid object and the Kevlar would slow the bullet down.”
“I didn’t think it was going to stop it,” Haab added, “but it would definitely slow [the bullets] down to make it from a catastrophic to a lifesaving thing.”...

General Flynn Should WITHDRAW Guilty Plea | The Daily Caller
General Flynn Should WITHDRAW Guilty Plea | The Daily Caller:
"Extraordinary manipulation by powerful people led to the creation of Robert Mueller’s continuing investigation and prosecution of General Michael Flynn. Notably, the recent postponement of General Flynn’s sentencing provides an opportunity for more evidence to be revealed that will provide massive ammunition for a motion to withdraw Flynn’s guilty plea and dismiss the charges against him.
It was Judge Rudolph Contreras who accepted General Flynn’s guilty plea, but he suddenly was recused from the case."

FBI: Over Four Times More People Stabbed to Death Than Killed with Rifles of Any Kind | Breitbart
FBI: Over Four Times More People Stabbed to Death Than Killed with Rifles of Any Kind | Breitbart:
"The FBI Uniform Crime Report (UCR) for 2016 shows more than four times as many people were stabbed to death than were killed with rifles of any kind.
And because the category of rifles covers every type of rifle, this means there would be an even greater divide between the number of people stabbed to death versus those shot to death with an AR-15 or similar rifle.
According to FBI: UCR Table 12, there were approximately 374 people shot and killed with rifles of any kind.
There were 1,604 people killed with “knives or cutting instruments.”
Table 12 also shows that more people were killed via the use of “hands, fists, feet, etc.,” than were killed by rifles of any kind.
In fact, the tally shows that the death numbers were not even close.
While approximately 374 people were shot and killed with rifles, roughly 656 people were beaten to death with “hands, fists, feet, etc.”...

Public Pensions: Underfunded and Unaffordable - Americans for Prosperity:
"Is your state’s pension program in trouble?
...According to ALEC, Wisconsin has the best funded pension ratio rate in the nation at 63.4 percent. Funding ratio refers to the percentage of the pension fund that has been funded.
...Kentucky has the second worst pension in the country.

Michigan finds itself in a similar situation with $156.9 billion in unfunded liabilities.

Does Mueller Indictment Mean Clinton Campaign Can Be Indicted for Chris Steele? | Law & Crime:
"Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted foreign citizens for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission. By that theory, when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign?

How NBC Flubbed Its Coverage, Reported The Wrong Gold Medalist, Then Botched The Correction Of One Of The Most Stunning Upsets In Olympic History
How NBC Flubbed Its Coverage, Reported The Wrong Gold Medalist, Then Botched The Correction Of One Of The Most Stunning Upsets In Olympic History:
"...Ledecká wasn’t the only one surprised by the outcome.
By the time Ledecka finished her miracle run—one, it turns out, she accomplished thanks to her lack of experience in the event, leading her to take a faster but unorthodox line on the course—NBC had long crowned Veith the gold medalist and had switched coverage to a simulcast of NBC Sports Network’s men’s figure skating free skate broadcast.
Dan Hicks pronounced Veith the gold medalist no fewer than five times, with worthless (and incredibly robotic) analyst Bode Miller at no point interrupting to note that there were still 25—twenty-five!—skiers left to compete.
Only a throwaway “the last skier down with any chance at the podium” at the end of Cornella Huetter’s run suggested that the event wasn’t even halfway through.
...NBC didn’t even cut to figure skating right away; after a commercial break, they returned to interview Lindsey Vonn about her disappointing performance.
Vonn told NBC she was happy to have finished fifth, not fourth; she actually finished sixth!
Hicks iterated Veith “ended up on top” as Miller commentated a replay of the Austrian’s would-be gold-medal performance, followed by yet another pronouncement by Hicks of the final podium standings.
Ledecká was literally on the course at the time Hicks threw to the commercial break with the words, “Anna Veith still can’t believe it: she’s a gold medalist again.”...

STUNNING: Mueller Patched Together Much of His Indictment from 2015 Radio Free Europe Article

"...Special Counsel Robert Mueller dropped an absolute nothing-burger on Friday in announcing charges against Russian operatives who sullied the US election process during the 2016 election and following Donald Trump’s victory...
...But this information is nothing new.
It appears Mueller and his team of far left attorneys copied much of their report from an earlier RFE article.
4chan has a thread alleging Robert Mueller and his high-priced sham investigators got all the names and the idea for his Russian indictment from a 2015 Radio Free Europe article.
We plugged the article into Google translate (It’s in Ukrainian), and the article reads like the Mueller indictment.
Here is the Mueller indictment describing the Internet Research Agency LLC:
And here is the RFE article from 2015:
For the third year, first in St. Petersburg, in the village of Ol’hina, and then in the city itself, on the street Savushkina, in the building number 55 there is a mysterious organization, which is officially called the Limited Liability Company Internet Research, and unofficially nicknamed by its employees, the so-called “Kremlin trolls”, “the Ministry of Truth” .The official founder and director general of this organization is the retired militia colonel Mikhail Bystrov , and is funded by the Concord holding, headed by friend and chef of President Vladimir Putin Yevgeny Prigozhin . Since 2000, this holding organizes banquets in the Kremlin, as well as cooperates with “Vointorg” and the Ministry of Defense.In the “Trust Ministry”, approximately 400 people, who change one at a time for 12 hours, sit around the computer around the clock and write in blogs – mostly in “Live Journal” or “VKontakte”. There are several departments. In one they are engaged in the blogosphere, in another they are preparing TK – technical tasks, in the third one – they comment on the news in Russian and foreign media , in the fourth – mount photos in the photoshop, forcing, say, heads of Navalny and Obama to the bodies of animals, and so on.
The article even has a photo of the Ministry of Justice headquarters on Savushkin Street in St. Petersburg–
It appears the hotshot liberal Mueller team produced their report with the help of a report written back in 2015.
And there’s this…
The Russian ads mentioned in Mueller’s indictment were already released by the House Intelligence Committee in November 2017...
...Mueller’s Friday indictment was a nothing-burger that contained information previously reported.
They have nothing.

- Re-examine the media's role. "If you look at [mass-shooting] killers, you'll find an interest in those who came before them." Gutfeld argues that the media should not report the names of mass shooters or show their pictures as a way of tamping down such incidents. "We advertise infamy," which he says has an impact.

Here's The Truth About Trump Revoking Gun Checks On The 'Mentally Ill' | Daily Wire:
"In the wake of the tragic South Florida school shooting that left at least 17 people dead, Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have been pushing for a crackdown on Second Amendment rights, which they often strategically refer to as "gun safety legislation."
While pushing such rash, broad and frequently unspecified "gun laws," leftists have slammed President Donald Trump for eliminating a proposed Obama-era regulation which allegedly stopped the "mentally ill" from legally obtaining firearms.
