Nick Cannon has blasted Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood for promoting “modern day eugenics” and trying to stop African-Americans breeding in an attempt at genocide. When approached by Splash News to comment on his anti-Planned Parenthood remarks from last week, Cannon said the organization is participating in “modern day eugenics” and is planning to “take our community” and commit genocide against African-Americans. Eugenics is the controlled breeding of a population to increase the occurrence of “desirable characteristics”.

Emboldened by his "victory" with Carrier Corp, which agreed to keep 1,100 workers in the US instead of outsourcing them to Mexico in exchange for $7 million in tax incentives over 10 years, as part of his victory tour in Indiana, Donald Trump on Thursday warned that U.S. companies will face "consequences" for outsourcing jobs overseas.

"Companies are not going to leave the United States any more without consequences. Not going to happen," the President-elect said on a visit to a Carrier Corp plant in Indianapolis cited by Reuters.

While America avoided having another Redneck (or in honor of Bill Clinton should we say ‘HillBilly’ ) in the White House, there’s big Redneck karma for America as millions of Rednecks went out and voted for Trump, many of whom never voted before in their lives, many of whom can't read.  Certainly this didn’t alone get Trump elected, but it didn’t hurt.  And they sho feel praud!

Moments ago, America's legendary gun maker Smith & Wesson reported second quarter earnings which, not surprisingly, beat estimates on the top and bottom line, reporting non-GAAP earnings of $39.1 million, or EPS of $0.68, far above the $0.58 expected, and some 172% higher compared to a year earlier, on revenue of $233.5 million -a 63% increase Y/Y - which beat the high end of the company's own guidance of $230 million, as well as beating street estimates of $227.5 million. Quarterly Adjusted EBITDAS was $72.4 million, or 31.0% of net sales.

Update: It appears the WaPo may be guilty of spreading "fake news." According to Jason Miller, Trump's communications director, "No decision has been made yet with regard to Secretary of Defense."
