Friday News Bites: New Hampshire Primary, Oregon Standoff Ends + More:

Happy Friday, everyone! Bit of a short and sweet(?) News Bites this week, but I think we need that now and again. Let’s get started:

The Oregon standoff has come to an end, with several of the men involved arrested. The FBI is keeping the refuge in which they were camped closed for a little while longer while they collect evidence.

Instead of cleaning up Flint, lawmakers in Michigan decided to make sure they passed a bill about beastiality and sodomy instead. Because that’s an excellent use of their time.

This is neat: “LIGO [Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory] Sees First Ever Gravitational Waves as Two Black Holes Eat Each Other”

In Thailand, police arrested a passport forger known as “The Doctor,” who was previously so mysterious that no one knew what he looked like or what his name was.

2016 U.S. Election

Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary in New Hampshire this past Tuesday, and Donald Trump won on the GOP side. Onwards to South Carolina, now.

Except the Republicans have fewer candidates: Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie have both dropped out of the race.

Bernie Sanders has also told the BernieBros™ to knock it off with their misogynistic schtick. 

R.I.P.
