A man bites his nails while holding a large needle

After suffering from back pain, a 33-year-old man decided to treat himself. Using a rather unorthodox method, he chose to inject himself in the arm with his own semen in an attempt to cure his ailment. Over the course of 18 months, the man injected himself 18 times before finally admitting defeat and going to the hospital.

According to Gizmodo, the unnamed man from Dublin, Ireland, ended up in the hospital with “severe, sudden onset lower back pain” after lifting a “heavy steel object” three days prior. However, after an examination, a reddened swelling described as a “small, red papule” on his right arm was discovered.

The man then admitted to injecting himself with his own semen using hypodermic needle he purchased online in an attempt to cure his back pain.

“The patient disclosed that he had intravenously injected his own semen as an innovative method to treat back pain,” the report states.

MSU President John Engler Set To Resign After Blasting Larry Nassar’s Victims For ‘Enjoying The Spotlight’

John Engler speaks during a news conference that is part of a 'Day of Action for Immigration Reform'

Larry Nassar will likely go down in history as one of the worst child molester of young girls in U.S. sporting history. In his role as the U.S.A. Gymnastics team doctor, Nassar is accused of having abused at least 250 girls and young women dating back to 1992.

In a landmark victory for the victims, Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison in July 2017, with another 40 to 175 years later added to his sentence in January 2018 for sexual assault on minors, and just a month yet another 40 to 125 years for an additional three sexual assault charges.

While most have condemned Nassar for his heinous actions against young and vulnerable girls, some have spoken up with sympathy for the pathological sex criminal. According to a report by the Detroit Metro Times, the interim president of Michigan State University, former governor John Engler, is in hot water for accusing Nassar’s victims of “enjoying the attention.”

A branch of Domino's pizza takeaway

To paraphrase the iconic Snickers commercial, it seems like some aren’t really themselves when they’re hungry.

As reported by Fox News, a mother of three in the United Kingdom made a call to the police after a local Domino’s Pizza failed to deliver the pizza that she had ordered. In her call to law enforcement, she accused the restaurant of letting her kids “go hungry.”

The mother, Clair (whose last name was not published), explained that she had placed an order for £37 of pizza, which roughly equates to $47.50. She planned to feed her and her family, but after an hour of placing the order, her pizza had yet to arrive. Before long, a Domino’s employee reached out to her by phone.

The employee explained that, unfortunately, the pizza oven at their location had broken down. Unable to fulfill Clair’s order, the employee promised that her money would be refunded — a process that can take up to 24 hours, if not more.

Actors Elizabeth Hurley and Justin Theroux with Alejandro Agag, CEO, Formula E during the Marrakesh E-prix, Round 2 of the 2018/19 ABB FIA Formula E Championship at Circuit International Automobile Moulay El Hassan on January 12, 2019

Justin Theroux and Elizabeth Hurley have been igniting romance rumors recently and several tabloids have speculated that the two actors may have become an item. It all started after they were spotted together last week at the ABB FIA Formula E 2019 Marrakesh E-Prix and at a cocktail party the night before racing day.

Hollywood Life reports that Theroux and Hurley were seen heading to the E-Prix together. They also posed for photos together and Hurley posted one of them on her Instagram, as part of a series of snaps. HL writes that they were also seen chatting while Theroux enjoyed a drink.

But while photos showed the actors looking very chummy, Gossip Cop is on the case and they claim that there’s no romance between the two.

GOP Is Now ‘Drunken Frat Boy Party,’ Says Conservative Author Max Boot, Wants To ‘Moon The Grown Ups’

Republicans laughing

As the ongoing government shutdown drags on, rolling into its 27th day on Thursday, Donald Trump has shown no signs of a willingness to end the lockout that has left 800,000 government workers without pay — and affected another 4.1 million American workers who though in private industry rely on government contracts, according to a National Public Radio report.

In fact, Trump on Wednesday told supporters on a conference call that “We’re going to stay out for a long time, if we have to. We’ll be out for a long time,” according to NBC News. At the same time, Republicans in Congress have shown little sign of breaking with Trump to pass legislation that would reopen the government.

Light illuminates the southern border wall.

As the partial government shutdown drags on with no end in sight, many have spoken out in criticism of Trump’s border wall. The president continues to stand firm to his promise to continue the shutdown until Democrats reach a compromise in regards to border wall funding. As a result, many Americans remain out of work and many others will go without necessary food stamps this month. Among the many to criticize Trump are the border wall sheriffs themselves, according to Tuscan.com.

migrant caravan

Approximately 2,000 migrants formed a caravan in San Pedro Sula on Honduras’ northern half and are headed toward the U.S.-Mexico border. But thousands of migrants from last year’s caravan are still there waiting for the chance to apply for asylum in the United States.

The first caravan consisting of 7,000 migrants that departed from Honduras in October prompted President Donald Trump to push for funding to build his border wall.

According to the Washington Post, Hondurans from across the country trekked to a bus terminal in San Pedro Sula in the hopes of being a part of the caravan. The departure was publicized in local news reports and via social media.

Jimmy Senteno, 23, lugged a small backpack and carried his 5-year-old daughter on his hip.

“I want to apply for asylum in the U.S., but I would stay in Mexico if I had to,” he said.

A former US Marine who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was arrested and detained for three days by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement before they finally realized he was actually an American citizen, according to the Daily Mail.

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyers are representing Jilmar Ramos-Gomez, 27, who lives in the Grand Rapids area. Ramos-Gomez was born in Michigan, served as a lance corporal in the Marines, and received awards for service in Afghanistan.

He was arrested on November 21, accused of trespassing and damaging a fire alarm at a Grand Rapids hospital. In court, the ACLU lawyers claimed that his PTSD had a role in the incident and added that he had pleaded guilty to the charges.

He was due to be released from the Kent County jail where he was being held on December 14 to await sentencing. However, Immigration and Customs Enforcement contacted the jail before this date and requested that he be held for pick up.

Victim being buried after Nairobi hotel attack

Al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamist terrorist group which has admitted carrying out yesterday’s attack on a Kenyan hotel complex which left 21 people dead, including one U.S. citizen, has said they launched the attack because of President Donald Trump.

According to the Daily Mail, an al-Shabaab statement said the attack was “a response to the witless remarks of U.S. President Donald Trump, and his declaration” before adding that the group was targetting Western and Zionist interests worldwide and in support of our Muslim families in Palestine.”

They went on to say that the attack was in part a reaction to the U.S. policy of recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel.

In response to this statement, a White House National Security Council spokesman said, “[t]his senseless act is a stark reminder of why the United States remains resolved in our fight to defeat radical Islamist terrorism.”

Divers Snap Breathtaking Pictures Of ‘Deep Blue,’ The 5,000-LB Great White Shark Considered The Biggest Ever

Great white sharks swimming in the ocean

Divers in Hawaii have snapped breathtaking images of the largest great white shark ever recorded, a behemoth called “Deep Blue” that is 21 feet long and more than 5,000 pounds.

The shark was spotted on Sunday by divers Mark Mohler and Kimberly Jeffries, who dived into the water to swim alongside the gigantic shark and take pictures of it. As the Daily Mail reported, Deep Blue had been spotted 20 years ago in Mexico and is now believed to be 50-years-old. She was identified by a tag placed during the sighting in Mexico, and her identity was verified through the great white shark authority.

When the divers found the enormous shark, she was feeding on a dead sperm whale about nine miles from the coast of the island of Oahu. They suspect that she traveled thousands of miles to Hawaii for an “all-you-can-eat vacation” and was surrounded by tiger sharks as she feasted on the dead whale.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer, exits federal court after his sentencing hearing, December 12, 2018 in New York City. Cohen was sentenced to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty in August to several charges, including multiple counts of tax evasion, a campaign finance violation and lying to Congress.

A new report suggests that Michael Cohen paid thousands of dollars to an information technology firm in early 2015, in hopes that the company could tweak online polls in favor of then-Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Citing a report from the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and Mediaite wrote on Thursday morning that Trump’s former personal lawyer paid RedFinch Solutions LLC owner and Liberty University chief information officer John Gauger $12,000 to $13,000 stuffed in a blue Walmart bag, along with a boxing glove purportedly used by an unnamed Brazilian MMA fighter. This was disputed by Cohen, who was cited as saying he paid Gauger by check for his services.

Congresswoman Tlaib

An elected city commissioner in Florida lent her name to an online petition to remove Rep. Rashida Tlaib from office, appending a statement that expressed concern about the Muslim congresswoman might “become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”

As reported by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Hallandale Beach City Commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub signed the WhiteHouse.gov petition, which calls for “The removal of Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from office, do [sic] to inappropriate and unstable actions becoming of a congresswoman.” The petition had been signed by 120,000 people as of Thursday morning, and it goes on to say that Tlaib “is unfit to be a congresswoman. Her rude display and lack of respect for our sitting President was [sic] uncalled for. Her immediate removal from her seat is just and warranted. Do [sic] to her hatred towards our president, I feel she is a national security threat.”

Kevin Hassett points at the audience during a press conference.

As the government shutdown drags on into its fourth week, federal employees across the country are struggling to make ends meet. Approximately 800,000 government employees have gone without pay since the shutdown began. Donald Trump’s chief economic advisor Kevin Hassett has some suggestions on how to deal with this cash crunch until the government is working again — but they may not be what struggling employees were hoping for.

According to the Independent, Hassett has suggested that furloughed government employees take out loans in order to handle the financial strain. In an interview with Fox News, Hassett pointed out that there are many options available for people who have been impacted by the government shutdown. He even referenced a colleague who has been driving Uber in order to pay his bills.

‘Fox News’ Guest Dan Bongino Calls For Ocasio-Cortez To ‘Donate 70 Percent’ Of Her Income

A Fox News guest, and outspoken pro-Trump pundit, has called for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who has called for a 70 percent marginal tax rate — to donate 70 percent of her own income to the government.

Dan Bongino, a conservative pundit, authored an opinion piece on Fox News‘ website Thursday making the proposal, which was adapted from a commentary on his radio show.

Bongino alleges that the congresswoman “relies on a lot of economic ignorance to get you to believe what’s not true could be true.”

“The reason she prefers to use a marginal tax rate as a talking point is because she believes it wouldn’t affect the overwhelming majority of Americans and that she can get public support for it,” Bongino writes. “She assumes that most Americans will say, ‘Hey, it’s not gonna affect me — it’s just going to screw people who make $10 million or more.'”

Trump Did Not Want ‘A Single Dollar’ Spent On Puerto Rico Disaster Aid, ‘WaPo’ Reports, Was ‘Not Consolable’

Donald Trump arriving in Puerto Rico in 2017.

In September of 2018, a year after Hurricane Maria struck the United States territory of Puerto Rico — leaving the island devastated — a full recovery was still a distant hope, according to a report by USA Today. President Donald Trump, who had been widely criticized for his handling of disaster relief for Puerto Rico, nonetheless publicly touted the relief efforts as an “incredible unsung success,” and “one of the best jobs that’s ever been done.”

But behind the scenes, Trump’s attitude toward Puerto Rico was very different, according to an explosive report published Wednesday by the Washington Post. Out of the public eye, Trump allegedly raged at his Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and Chief of Staff John Kelly that “he did not want a single dollar going to Puerto Rico.”

former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani speaks at the Conference on Iran

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has taken on the role of representing President Donald Trump as his personal lawyer, generated a lot of buzz with his Wednesday night interview with Andrew Cuomo on CNN. Giuliani has pivoted frequently over the past few months in representing the president in regard to the Mueller probe, and Wednesday night he seemed to take a major pivot once again. Despite the fact that he now maintains he only ever said that Trump himself never colluded with Russia, there are some tweets that seem to imply otherwise.

As the Inquisitr detailed, Giuliani told Cuomo that he never previously claimed that there hadn’t been collusion that originated from people connected to Trump’s campaign. He further maintained that he has only ever referred to the president himself not being involved with collusion or conspiring with Russia.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once again called on Donald Trump to delay his State of the Union address. Pelosi first made the suggestion on Wednesday, saying the televised address should be postponed until the partial government shutdown has ended. Trump dismissed the idea entirely, but Pelosi is not giving up — once again saying that the president should not hold the State of the Union at the present time.

According to Fox News, Pelosi once again addressed the issue during a press conference on Capital Hill. During the course of the conference she discussed why the State of the Union should be moved, and emphasized that there is nothing sacred about the chosen date for the address.

Honduran migrants from the new 'migrant caravan' walk out of the city on their way toward the Mexican border on January 17, 2019 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. More than one thousand Hondurans have set off toward the United States on foot or in vehicles in recent days.

Thousands more migrant children may have been separated from their parents by immigration authorities at the United States border than previously reported, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the New York Times reports.

The true number of children separated is unknown, according to Ann Maxwell, assistant inspector general for evaluation and inspections, who also indicated that there had been no effort underway to identify or reunite separated children.

“More children over a longer period of time were separated by immigration authorities and were referred to HHS for care than is commonly discussed in the public debate,” Maxwell said.

The East Coast is bracing itself for a seriously intense “blockbuster” winter storm this weekend. Experts believe there could be up to 40 inches of snow over the course of the weekend, leaving many Americans stranded without transportation — and in some cases, even without power.

According to USA Today, the rage of the winter storm will immediately be followed on Sunday with an intense Arctic blast. About 200 million Americans will be subjected to the sub-zero temperatures and intense windchill. The National Weather Service has warned people that “freezing rain, heavy snow and heavy rain are expected through the central and eastern U.S. over the next few days.”

Ruth Bader Ginsberg speaks

After undergoing surgery in December to remove cancerous nodules from her lungs, as reported by Mercury News, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is recovering well and has no further signs of cancer, the court announced in an official statement last Friday.

“Her recovery from surgery is on track. Post-surgery evaluations indicate no evidence of remaining disease, and no further treatment is required,” spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said last week, per the New York Times, adding that Ginsburg would spend this week working from her home and following the “briefs and the transcripts of oral arguments” from the cases being argued before the court.

But now, one corner of the conservative media is promoting an apparently baseless report that Ginsburg is in worse health than has been reported.
