The 4th is coming up—need I say more?
Round 1
Portland just held Christmas in June — and we’re not talking about a sale at the outlet mall.
Police say a LPRs flagged a car registered to a man with active warrants. But when they went to stop him, somebody else was driving,
so they had to FIND another reason —
Not long after Cynthia Christmas, was pulled over for a traffic violation.
When asked, she told officers they could not search her car.
But Police had a secret weapon— K‑9 Mav.
Mav alerted on vapes officers say were illegal, and that’s when Ms. Christmas spoiled the big surprise.
She told officers the registered owner they were looking for, Mr Kasey Wilson, had been there all along, hiding in the trunk — kind of like an early Christmas present.
Police were so thankful for their early gift that they returned the favor, giving both Ms. Christmas and Mr. Wilson a complimentary stay at the local Gray Bar Hotel.
But Mr. Wilson really lucked out and Because of his warrants he will also get an all expenses paid vacation to both Robertson County and Kentucky, too.
The best part is, he wont have to ride in the trunk
Round 2
What happens when a pastor pretends to be a purple lobster?
If you thought that was a joke, it’s not.
You may remember the Clarksville teacher mess where a fifty year old Matthew Vedder, showed a 17‑year‑old student pictures of himself hanging out with his wang out.
Well, though Vedder claims it was an accident and resigned, the parents are demanding more accountability — and who can blame them?
But if having their daughter’s sensibilities attacked in the classroom wasnt enough, now the parents are being attacked online.
Yesterday, an account using the alias PurpleLobster6542 popped up in the comments on one of the father’s Facebook posts and unloaded on him.
Purple Lobster called it “craziness,” and cllaimed they were tearing the community apart by demanding accountability.
He scolded them for putting their daughter on TV and acted like the real problem wasn’t the teacher's birthday‑suit photo, but the dad who wouldn’t shut up about it.
You know one thing Purple Lobster didn’t see coming?
The moderator of the group where he was making these anonymous comments WAS the father he was slamming.
So who is Purple Lobster?
Local school board member, state rep, and church pastor Aron Maberry.
Pretty quickly, the screenshots were everywhere and Aron was being dragged like a wet mop.
Turns out when you play pastor in public and Purple Lobster in the comments, you don’t just look spineless; you end up boiled in your own mess.
Round 3
Nashville’s mayor just rolled out his new productivity plan for Metro government — and it's pretty creative.
After Blackburn's backfire with the zoo/ AI data center debacle, Mayor Freddie O’Connell knew he needed to nail his own PR move on the matter.
His proposal? Just take the data center's land through eminent domain.
Citing a sudden need for new offices after the closure of the southeast campus, he’s now pitching the best place for it is right next to the zoo
and that it's so important the owners should have no say in the matter.
And where I can see how putting the worst performers next to the cheetahs might bolster productivity.
I dont think Tennessee is ready for the precedence that move would set
