Thieves steal bag of snakes
from reptile breeder in San Jose
SAN JOSE (KRON) — San Jose police are on the look out
for thieves who stole from a reptile breeder on Saturday. [Brian Gunday] says
he just finished a presentation at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library and was
packing up in the parking lot when thieves stole one of his duffel bags. He
says they were probably unaware of what was inside the heavy bag until they
opened it up and found a bag full of snakes. The breeder says four snakes and a

Trump’s tall tale about the
military being out of ammunition shows how his lies evolve
[…] “When I took over our military, we did not have
ammunition,” Trump said. “I was told by a top general, maybe the top of them
all, ‘Sir, I’m sorry sir, we don’t have ammunition.’ I said, I will never let
that happen to another president.” […] Of course, a full fact-check isn’t
needed to see Trump’s comment as the absurdity that it is. But it is
interesting to trace how Trump has embellished this particular tall tale since
he first told it on September 16. […]

'Sir' alert: This one word is
a telltale sign Trump is being dishonest
Analysis by Daniel Dale
[…] I've fact-checked every word Trump has uttered
since his inauguration. I can tell you that if this President relays an
anecdote in which he has someone referring to him as "sir," then some
major component of the anecdote is very likely to be wrong. Lots of people do
call Trump "sir," of course. But the word seems to pop into his head
more frequently when he is inventing or exaggerating a conversation than when
he is faithfully relaying one. A "sir" is a flashing red light that he
is speaking from his imagination rather than his memory. […]

[…] I have so many
people that come up to me, “Thank you, sir. My wife is so in love with me
because I went up 79% in the 401(k). She thinks I’m a genius. She always
thought I was a total stiff, a dumb, stupid dope. Now she thinks I’m a
financial genius, sir. And all I did was buy some stock. I have stock in a 401(k),
and you made me into a genius, sir. She loves me so much more than she ever
did.” Shows you the power of money, right? Isn’t that terrible? […]
