Dave Grohl, His Mom & Jill Biden All Agree That Teachers Are ‘Rockstars’
Grohl has been an outspokenly anti-Trump since the 2016 election, most recently slamming the President’s administration for the handling of the coronavirus and the rushed re-opening of schools. “When it comes to the daunting and evermore politicized question of reopening schools amid the coronavirus pandemic, the worry for our children is paramount,” Grohl said in an episode of Dave’s True Stories titled “In Defense of Our Teachers.” “Yet, teachers are also confronted with a whole new set of dilemmas that most people would not consider. ‘There’s so much more to be addressed than just opening the doors and sending them back home,’ my mother tells me over the phone.

Black Ops: Kanye West Makes One Last Plea For President In A ‘New York Times’ Ad
Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Even with only days left for people to cast their ballot for President of the United States, and millions of people already having done so, Kanye West is still holding out hope that he can spoil Joe Biden’s Presidential aspirations and help keep Donald Trump in the White House. According to Page Six, Yeezy took out a page in the New York Times on Friday to continue to sell himself to voters as the choice to be the next President even though Kanye’s name is only on the ballots in a handful of states. Penning a plea to voters in the full-page political ad (actually 2-pages if you count the dove on the opposite page—see below), Yeezus attempted to reach out to the Christian evangelical base as he wrote that “We will see families anchoring on faith. Our future hol...
CloutPods: Apple To Drop Updated Entry-Level AirPods & 2nd-Gen AirPods Pro: Report
Source: Apple / AirPods Apple’s new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro is already in the hands of customers, and reportedly some new AirPods are on the way as well. Bloomberg reports that the company that Job’s built is working on an updated version of the entry-level AirPods and a second-generation version of the AirPods Pro with hopes of releasing them next year. According to the report, the new AirPods will be similar to the current AirPods Pro due to a smaller stem and replaceable ear tips. But that’s where the similarities stop because it will not have the noise-canceling feature, which will help Apple sell them at a lower price. The second-generation AirPods Pro will be more compact than ever, according to sources. Bloomberg states that the new AirPods Pro will be stemless, and the design w...

2021 Hennessey VelociRaptor Ford Bronco: $225,000 but V-8, Amirite
We expect Ford will introduce a Bronco Raptor at some point. But it probably won’t match the output of the new 2021 Hennessey VelociRaptor Bronco, which enters production next year. Hennessey dropped in a 5.0-liter Ford V-8 delivering 750 hp, allowing the SUV to reach 60 mph in a claimed 4.5 seconds. Power is routed through Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission. New fuel injectors, air-to-water intercooler, and performance intake and exhaust systems make up some of the key upgrades. The improvements continue with an upgraded off-road suspension and beefy off-road tires. A hood scoop, along with the custom livery and unique front grille, provide extra flavor. Hennessey didn’t forget about the interior, where you’ll find special touches including embroidered hea...
