Hope Solo of Women's Soccer fame arrested for DUI with kids in the car

During National Anthem: only Julie Ertz and Kelley O'Hara refused to kneel

Former goalie for the US Women's Soccer team Hope Solo was found last Saturday allegedly passed out for over an hour behind the wheel of a car, engine running, her children inside, and the smell of alcohol in the air, according to reports.

Solo [no relation to Hans Solo because he's not a real person] defended her parenting skills.

“Our family is strong and surrounded with love. Our kids are strong, intelligent, happy and vibrant, and we are present every day giving them the best life possible,” the soccer player wrote in an Instagram story.

The Olympic goalkeeper for a team that lost to a team of boys up to the age of 16, said that she will be able to share more about the circumstances surrounding her arrest “in due time.” 

She was arrested on charges of driving while impaired, resisting a public officer and misdemeanor child abuse.

“In the meantime, our kids are enjoying the NC sun, eating popsicles and playing on our property,” she said. “Life can be tough, but these are truly the moments that matter. I feel blessed to have this kind of love in my life.”

According to her arrest warrant, a passerby noticed the soccer player passed out behind the wheel for more than an hour with the vehicle’s engine running and the two kids in the backseat.   

A responding officer detected the smell of alcohol, and the warrant said that Solo refused a field sobriety test and her blood was drawn instead.

Hope, Jerramy and the twins

Solo wed Jerramy Stevens, a former tight end for the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in 2012. 

Solo’s attorney, Dick Nichols, has previously released a statement Friday.

“On the advice of counsel, Hope can’t speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges,” Dick Nichols said.

Evidently the kids are her life and she takes them everywhere, even when she's allegedly drinking and driving. But let's not jump the proverbial gun--she may have a reasonable explanation why she was passed out in her alcohol-smelling vehicle.

Former CNN anchor arrested for allegedly trying to leave DUI crash scene

This wasn't the first time Leon Harris, a former CNN host who currently works for a Washington, D.C. TV station, has been arrested for Driving Under the Influence. His first time was in 2013 when he was pulled over by a Maryland State Trooper for a DUI and received probation. He pleaded guilty in that incident.

[H/T New York Post]

Now the former CNN anchor allegedly hit the rear end of another vehicle, which pushed it into a third car and Harris failed a breathalyzer test, showing his blood-alcohol level twice the legal state's limit. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt in the crash that the former CNN host tried to leave.

Since having left CNN, Harris' current employer is an NBC affiliate.

Pro Golfer Thorbjorn Olesen arrested on plane for alleged sexual assault of sleeping woman and peeing in aisle

No, seriously, that is what was alleged to have happened--a professional golfer, Thorbjorn Olesen was arrested this week for allegedly sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on a flight from Tennessee to London.

What was he thinking?

The 29-year-old Danish golfer was on a British Airways flight from Memphis to Heathrow on Monday. He was allegedly drunk and became abusive, according to multiple reports.

Olesen is currently ranked 62 in the world. He was returning to Europe after playing in the PGA Tour's WGC-FedEx St. June Invitational in Memphis over the weekend. He is also accused of peeing in the first-class aisle of the airplane, made a pass at a female passenger and is being investigated for sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on the flight.

A witness told The Sun that Olesen "started abusing some of the passengers and crew."

Fellow golfer Ian Poulter – Olesen’s teammate at the 2018 Ryder Cup – tried to calm Olesen during the flight, but after he went to sleep for the long flight, Olesen continued his behavior.

Poulter’s agent told the Independent that the golfer was unaware of Olesen’s behavior until police arrived at the landing gate to arrest his teammate.

Scotland Yard confirmed to the Sun that a 29-year-old man was arrested on “suspicion of sexual assault, being drunk on board an aircraft and failing to comply with the orders of cabin crew.” Police said the unidentified man was released under investigation.

Currently, both CNN and MSNBC are working on various ways to spin this story and blame Olesen's behavior on President Trump. The one thread that runs through this story is golf. Maybe golf and Trump's involvement with the sport can be that link.

NBC was worst NYE coverage in the history of dropped balls in Times Square

The Nothing But Crap (NBC) network's New Year's Eve show was hands-down the worst coverage ever of the Times Square ball-dropping. The only ball the viewers got to see drop was the one the network dropped by not showing the ball dropping.

But at least they got to hear about Chrissy Teigen's vaginal steaming. In fact, #nbc, #vaginalsteaming and #dumpsterfire trended on Twitter that night. Really.

After Teigen face-planted Leslie Jones' umbrella, she decided 15 minutes before the big ball drop that it was the right time to discuss the miracle of vaginal steaming to her co-host Carson Daly. When the ball finally dropped at the stroke of 2019, NBC didn't actually show it. [Maybe they thought it was NBD for NBC to be so predictable.] 

Even guest star appearances by Teigen's husband John Legend, Diana Ross, Jennifer Lopez, and Kelly Clarkson weren't enough to keep viewers tuned in.

This wasn't the first time Teigen publicly dealt with her vagina and steam. She posted a photo on Instagram [see above].

“Yeah, I like to steam my vag,” Teigen began as NBC aired a photo of the model undergoing the treatment.

“What does that mean?” host Carson Daly replied, before cutting Teigen off as she attempted another zany explanation of the act.

“You should be in prison,” Daly joked.

Below is a small sample of the criticism NBC received over the raunchy segment, which aired roughly 15 minutes before midnight.

Other comments former viewers tweeted were:

"I'm embarrassed for America watching @chrissyteigen talk about vaginal steaming. Way to help me ring in the new year with family. Turning it to Fox now," one former viewer posted.

"NBC this is the worst New Years Show ever!!!" wrote another, adding "#Fail #NBC #HNY #NYC #CarsonDaly."

"Literally 10 seconds into the New Year's Show on #NBC and immediately that loud for nothing @chrissyteigen is shouting 'WE HERE! WE HERE!' and doing some drunken naked leg poses," wrote another. "'We here' kinda sets the tone, no thanks. Sorry @CarsonDaly, I'm out."

"#NBC #New Years Eve Way to go NBC for dropping the ball! Watched the show and didn’t see a ball, but heard about virginal [sic] steaming," wrote another disgusted viewer.

CNN came in a close second for worst NYE show ever with Anderson Cooper giggling and drunk and speaking to Faye Dunaway about his mother's sex life [see video above].

Both networks were totally screwed up and in the bag.


Happy New Year fellow conservatives. Health and happiness to all. I hope that you follow Brain Flushings throughout the New Year and comment on any issues within. Please feel free to check out the sponsors on these pages too.

D.C. Official pees in police station tells cops to clean it up

"Dasrumlefborkmjulz, hic"

Washington, D.C. -- A public official was arrested for drunk driving, allegedly used the "n-word" to vilify police officers and peed on the police station floor while telling cops to clean it up. He also allegedly threatened police by bragging that they didn't know who he was.

The alleged pisser, Paul Trantham, serves as a D.C. Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner T Ward 8B. It used to be represented by former crack-user and D.C. mayor Marion Barry, a convicted felon.

Trantham allegedly was swerving in his vehicle around Oxon Hill, Maryland around midnight. He was pulled over by Prince George's County Police. He and his car stank of alcohol and he behaved aggressively when he was stopped because he was on his way to a midnight Mensa meeting. Not.

WTOP reported that when another officer arrived to assist with the situation, Trantham started name-dropping and claimed he knew Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker.

Once he was taken to the Oxon Hill police station, he allegedly used the "n-word" to target officers, then peed on the floor and ordered cops to clean it up.

Officers uncuffed him so he could properly use the bathroom. Trantham "slammed the door and said he wasn't coming out," according to a police report. When cops tried to enter the bathroom, he allegedly resisted arrest and issued a threat that they "didn't know who he was," the report states.

Trantham, ever the cool dude in a loose mood, denied the police version of what happened and ranted of the bathroom situation, "I think they are homosexuals because what man would come in there and pull another man off the seat?"

Gee, do homosexuals do that to other men?

Trantham said he plans to sue the police department. There's a video of what happened at the station bathroom so he'll probably lose if he actually tries to sue.

Hopefully he loses more than just the case.

Drunk Don Lemon gets ear pierced on NYE show

For the second year in a row, CNN's Don Lemon was a Twitter star with the trend #drunkdonlemon popping up everywhere. 

As is his wont, Lemon drank himself drunk during his show in New Orleans, getting fully into the spirit of getting into spirits. When midnight drew nigh, Lemon tweeted: "#CNN producers & @brookbcnn trying to convince me to get a tattoo or a piercing of some sort. Should I? #cnnnye"

He wasn't kidding. 

Lemon found a piercer soon thereafter and had his earlobe pierced on live TV.

"If this hurts, I'm going to be so mad," he said as he winced like a sissy and Brooke Baldwin, his co-host, held his hand tightly to assuage his terror.

"Is your mother watching?" she asked. "I bet your mom is . . . Momma Lemon, I don't know what he's thinking. At least it's just his ear, you know what I'm saying?"

"Don't get blood on the jacket; it has to go back to Brook's Brothers," he begged just as he began to cry out in pain as he was stabbed in the ear.

Twitter went berserk with approval, mostly agreeing that #drunkdonlemon was the best of New Year's Eve hosts because he's fun to watch make a fool of himself.

Perhaps next year he'll get circumsized, live on the air.

Kim Jong un drinks like a fish with half the memory

Kim Jong un doesn't know his limit. When he drinks, he passes out and then forgets who he wanted to execute. That isn't good for his reputation of being a dictator, especially for the guy who put the "dic" in dictator.

In September, Kim overindulged on booze when he ordered several of his top military leaders to write apology letters with a critique of themselves, the Japanese media reported.

The inebriated fat man allegedly told the top military brass in an all-night reprimand: "That none of you were able to produce not even one military satellite is a misconduct that is commensurate to treason . . . hic."

However, the next morning, Kim was sobered up and asked why the elderly officials were at his villa. He obviously forgot what he said during his drunken rant.

"Why are you gathered here?" he asked. "Be careful about your health because you are all old."

Upon hearing Kim's words, the military men began weeping, which pleased the fat dictator.

"They were relieved because they thought they were going to be purged," an anonymous source told Tokyo Shimbun. "Everyone is showing loyalty out of fear of being executed and no one dares speak against Kim."

Kim rose to power in 2011 following the death of his father. There has been steady progress in nuclear and missile program development in spite of the admonishment and sanctions.

In August, Kim Jong un announced that North Korea is "fully equipped with nuclear attack capability." This announcement came after a submarine missile launch. He was probably boasting but tests indicate the North may have medium-range missiles capable of reaching our bases in the Pacific in the next couple of years.

Hopefully, Kim will drink himself to death or someone will take him out before that happens and replace him with a normal human being.

Sorry Dennis Rodman.
