It’s good to know Ted’s got Dick’s back. Republican senator Ted Cruz paired up with Rep. Steve King for a pheasant hunt in Iowa on Saturday, where the two Congressmen chatted about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s infamous hunting incident in 2006, when Cheney accidentally shot a friend while quail hunting. Both were pretty understanding of Cheney’s position. “Look, it happens,” said Cruz, while King said the incident “doesn’t bother me a bit. The way I understood it, he was standing in the wrong place.” Cruz is in Iowa this weekend drumming up support in the all-important swing state.

Most homes on Sanibel and Captiva islands are still standing, but appear to have sustained some form of roof damage, in addition to certain storm surge and flooding damage.

Near the Casa Ybel Beach Resort, large scars in the sands are seen — the surge eroded much of the beach and dunes.

At least 125 fans have been killed at a soccer match in Indonesia after police fired tear gas, causing chaotic scenes where fans were trampled upon and suffocated, making it one of the deadliest sports events in history.

The death toll was previously confirmed to be 174, but local authorities reduced the number, saying some victims were counted twice.

Attention immediately focused on the police use of tear gas, and witnesses described that police beat them with sticks and shields before shooting canisters directly into the crowds.

The president of FIFA called the deaths at the stadium “a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension,” while President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation of security procedures. While…

A Montana woman is in hot water after she proudly displayed the carcass of a dog she killed, and then skinned … thinking it was a baby wolf, and the public is irate.

Her name isAmber Rose(no relation to the famous one) and she announced her kill recently on Facebook, posting a series of very graphic photos where she showed off the dead pooch — before and after it was reduced to a fur rug in the bed of her pickup truck.

She wrote, “So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear however I got the opportunity to take another predator wolf pup 2022 was a great feeling to text my man and say I just smoked a wolf pup. #firstwolf #onelesspredatorMT.”
