I was thinking to myself that ILP lacks a thread where we can post and discuss strange or absurd news from around the world. Well, this thread created seeks to rectify that absence by filling the void.
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, notorious for using profanity liberally towards others in politics, told an audience of soldiers Friday that his recent meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry went well but that U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg was a “homosexual” “son of a bitch” who “really annoys me.”
Duterte met with Kerry and Goldberg in late July to discuss the response to Manila winning an international court case against China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague. Kerry, he told the audience Friday, is “okay, but I had an argument with their ambassador, that bakla [homosexual]. Son of a bitch, he really annoys me.” There is no record of Goldberg publicly identifying as gay, indicating Duterte meant to use the word purely derisively.

I always have called Los Angeles the anus of the United States. Well, now it all makes sense.

Mostly due to selfish people and their cars.
I’m always jealous of liberals and their large carbon footprint.
Of course, my largest electric expenditure is charging a phone, I’m the bad guy. I walk most everywhere.
The hottest new trend for the .01 percent? Safe rooms, darling.
Billionaires are outfitting their abodes with ultra-luxe safe spaces that cost up to half a million dollars, according to a Town & Country story in the September issue of the glossy, which hits stands tomorrow.
The shelters are designed to protect against everything from natural disasters to home invasions and ISIS attacks, and come complete with infrared cameras, facial recognition software for entry, ballistic fiberglass to protect against explosions, air filtration units and bad-guy-distracting fog that’s activated with the touch of a button.
“They may want a facility that’s nuclear-proof, but they also want it to look like a Ritz-Carlton,” Lana Corbi tells T&C. She and her husband run the security firm Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments.
“Odd Mom Out” creator and star Jill Kargman says, “It becomes a competition at dinner parties … who has what state-of-the-art hazmat suits, and kits where you can drink your own pee, etcetera. When I saw Showtime’s ‘Billions’ I died laughing that they had millions in bearer bonds just as go money [set away in a safe room].”
“People love to say how much go money they have.”

The way of the evil is to reverse everything into disorder, where the good appear bad and the bad appear good. This is how they cultivate conformity.
Youre not the bad person. I’m personally against cars and refuse to contribute to the pollution on the land. We have no authority to do such a thing. Taking it without guided principle will only lead to destruction. That’s the way of the evil where there is no remembrance or celebration.
I usually walk everywhere or ride my bike if I need to get somewhere. I will not play their game.
