Jimmy Severs said he noticed a panhandler on a Vancouver, Washington, street for the last two months — which on its surface isn’t particularly unusual.
Image source: KOIN-TV
That is, until Severs got a gander at the transportation the panhandler was sporting.
Image source: KOIN-TV
“Look at this! Look at this!” Severs remarked on a cellphone video of him confronting the panhandler entering the new-looking truck. “No money, but this is your f***ing truck?”
Image source: Facebook
While hollering at the panhandler, Severs got up close to the vehicle information sticker on the frame of the driver’s side door and said the truck was manufactured in December 2014 — and then yelled at him some more.
“People out here busting their ass day in and day out for a f***ing living, bro!” Severs yelled at the panhandler as he drove away.
Here’s the clip Severs posted to Facebook, which has garnered more than 70,000 views in just two days. (Content warning: Lots of profanity):
As KOIN-TV was working on a story about the confrontation, a reporter noticed the same panhandler walking over and sitting in his usual spot — so the reporter went over to talk to him.
But that was enough for the panhandler, who folded up his chair and began walking away.
The reporter followed him, however, and asked why he was panhandling if he was driving what appeared to be a brand-new truck.
Image source: KOIN-TV
The man told the KOIN reporter that he was leaving, wouldn’t be coming back and that he doesn’t actually need the money his panhandling was bringing in.
“Just imagine how much money that guy’s made in the months … I’ve personally seen him sitting there,” Severs told the station in an on-camera interview.

Severs added to KOIN that rather than giving panhandlers money, people should give them what they actually require: “If they need money for food and clothes, give them food and clothes.”

After news broke that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will be meeting with hundreds of evangelical leaders next month in an effort to court them and hear their concerns, at least one well-known pastor has announced that he has no interest in attending.
Pastor Perry Noble (Facebook/Perry Noble)
Perry Noble of NewSpring Church in South Carolina wrote in a post on his website this week that he recently received two invitations to the June 21 event in New York City, but that he has no plans of accepting them, despite his penchant for visiting the popular city.
“I love NYC!! Great city! Great food! Love Broadway shows!” Noble wrote. “So, am I going? The short answer is no!”
From there, Noble proceeded to deliver the longer, more complex answer as to why he does not plan to hear Trump out. The pastor referenced his past public comments indicating that he would not be voting for Trump, saying that he previously assumed that the businessman would be a “political fad that would pass in the wind.”
“Boy was I wrong,” he admitted. “Not only has Trump weathered attacks from the right and the left, but he is still standing (quite taller than many of his detractors I might add).”
In the end, Noble believes that it is hypocritical for faith leaders to essentially ask Trump to prove himself, especially in light of these leaders’ support of Mitt Romney’s 2012 candidacy.
“Honestly, I see it as a bit of hypocrisy for a group of people to ask Trump to ‘prove himself’ when the same group were leading the Romney bandwagon!” he wrote, noting that, despite evangelicals’ theological differences with Romney, who is a Mormon, they did not require such a large-scale meeting with him before throwing him their support.
Noble continued, “Trump has spent quite a few years ‘proving himself’ through his deeds and actions — and the American people have spoken by voting for him to be the Republican nominee.”
In the end, Noble said that, if Trump cannot prove himself to the evangelical leaders at the June 21 meeting, some of those leaders will have to decide “if they are feelin’ the Burn…or if the Clintons get the keys to the White House again.”

As TheBlaze previously reported, Noble made headlines back in February for tweeting his refusal to support Trump in the South Carolina primary. While he said at the time that he typically avoids wading into politics, Noble proclaimed that Trump was “NOT the best choice among the current candidates!” and proceeded to ask South Carolina evangelicals not to support the businessman.
“Seriously concerned that @realDonaldTrump may win SC!” he continued. “C’mon y’all – we are better than that!”

‘Let Him Speak!’: School Board Candidate Silenced, Hauled Away by Police During LGBT Meeting

Even on the silver screen, where moving images are the key to storytelling, every now and then what directors choose not to show their audiences makes all the difference.
In those instances — think Quint’s riveting U.S.S. Indianapolis monologue in “Jaws” — the mind and imagination of the viewer provides the visuals, and that typically jumpstarts a more visceral and primal moviegoing experience.
A similar storytelling style works brilliantly in “Risen,” a celluloid yarn that in one very critical way communicates more by what it doesn’t show than by what it does.
The action begins on the day of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion but takes off on Easter Sunday with the pursuit of his missing body. And the film, which released to DVD Tuesday, comes from the perspective of Clavius, a Roman military officer (Joseph Fiennes) who sealed Christ’s tomb and now quite naturally finds himself in hot water with Pontius Pilate.
Joseph Fiennes plays the Roman officer Clavius, here investigating Chris’s empty tomb. (Image source: YouTube/Sony)
The idea that Christ actually rose from the dead is the furthest thing from Clavius’ mind — as far as he’s concerned, a body is missing, and all he wants to do is find it.
Which brings us to a pivotal scene: Clavius has just tracked down in a tavern one of the two soldiers he tasked with guarding Christ’s tomb. He hasn’t seen the soldier since leaving him at the burial site the night before the Nazarene’s body went missing, and now Clavius wants the truth.
— Spoiler Alert —
Both guards went to the Jewish leaders for sanctuary Easter morning, and Clavius learned they were pardoned by Pilate and paid off to parrot the party line: Christ’s “rabid” disciples came in the night, overpowered the guards and stole his body.
But Clavius isn’t buying another retelling of the canned explanation and gets to some pointed interrogation at a tavern table, knocking over the guard’s drink and grabbing him by the scruff of his collar:
How did the stone fall 10 paces from the tomb when it took seven men, myself included, just to roll it closed? The ropes weren’t cut; they were torn as if thread; the seal melted like butter. Shall we go there?
Richard Atwill plays the guard who finally comes clean about what happened at Christ’s tomb. (Image source: YouTube/Sony)
The guard (played by Richard Atwill) becomes frightened at this prospect and finally comes clean.
It’s not a wild proposition that the creators of “Risen” could have depicted the actual resurrection — but wisely they didn’t. Instead they have Atwell’s character describe it. And his is a spellbinding, moment-by-moment account of what his own eyes beheld — through tears and trembling — that leaves viewers to create their own images from his words:
We was wakened by this terrible…this terrible…this terrible flash. The night was gone. The air smelled burned. And the ropes they just…they just exploded. And the stone flew like a leaf, and all of a sudden the sun…rose in the tomb. It was the sun. It was…it was everything. And then a figure…a figure appeared. I could not gaze upon him. The terrible light. And it wasn’t a man. It wasn’t. And there was this voice all around, I could not fathom. And then we were running. We ran so far…so far…until we…until we could think again. And then we went and told the priests because that’s what you bade us do.
The guard had a front-row seat for the universe-altering event of all time, and he doesn’t describe it as a gentle, white-robed, neat-and-clean happening. It was loud, violent, terrifying and otherworldly — not at all unlike the biblical idea of humans falling dead in the presence of God.
TheBlaze caught up with Atwill who shared what went into his pivotal, powerful scene with Fiennes.
Atwill said he and director Kevin Reynolds talked “before the shoot about how this was a real turning point for Joe’s character. We had to make sure that there was something in the recollection of the resurrection that made [Clavius] contemplate the fact that everything he has believed up to this point was untrue and there was another reality that he was yet to discover.”
Clavius now knows the guard is telling the truth. (Image source: YouTube/Sony)
So Atwill had the challenging job of describing the actual resurrection — and during the retelling he practically comes unglued. To get to that emotional place, Atwill told TheBlaze he “tried to imagine how I would’ve felt if I had witnessed what was described in the scene” — and then everything after.
“I would’ve been sentenced to death and then pardoned and then had to cope with having seen the most incredible thing but being forbidden to tell anyone at pain of death,” Atwill shared. “It’s a pretty unsettling set of circumstances.”
Amid the guard’s description of the resurrection, the countenance of the once-skeptical Clavius changes completely — and he looks even a bit unsettled at this new prospect. He almost certainly believes the guard no longer is lying.
Atwill explained that his character “is separated from all that he knows and no one has asked him, on a personal level, what he is feeling. He knows he shouldn’t, but he desperately wants to tell the truth — and in this scene he is given the chance to do so.”
Here’s the scene:

In a scathing editorial posted Wednesday evening, the Washington Post editorial board slammed Hillary Clinton’s “inexcusable, willful disregard for the rules” in light of a new report from the State Department’s inspector general’s office, which found that the former secretary of state’s use of a private email server violated the agency’s regulations.
The editorial board wrote that Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official business while she was heading the agency “has been justifiably criticized as an error of judgment.”

“What the new report from the State Department inspector general makes clear is that it also was not a casual oversight,” they wrote. “Ms. Clinton had plenty of warnings to use official government communications methods, so as to make sure that her records were properly preserved and to minimize cybersecurity risks. She ignored them.”
The editorial board called Clinton’s conduct “disturbingly unmindful of the rules.”
“In the middle of the presidential campaign, we urge the FBI to finish its own investigation soon, so all information about this troubling episode will be before the voters,” they wrote.
In a statement Wednesday, Brian Fallon, Clinton’s press secretary, said the inspector general’s report was being misrepresented for “partisan purposes.”

President Barack Obama spoke to the press Thursday following the G7 summit in Japan. After taking questions for about 10 minutes, Obama announced he was going to allow a “special bonus” question before wrapping up the presser.
However, once he heard the question, Obama appeared to change his mind.
“Just yesterday we saw the State Department put out a statement about Secretary Clinton’s emails. And it basically undermined what she said about her email practices. I’m wondering if you think that undermines her trustworthiness with the American people? And, if you agree with Bernie Sanders, that she should release the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to Wall Street?” an unnamed reporter asked.
“Well, you know what, I take it back. I’m not taking another,” Obama joked, before adding, “We’re in Japan. Don’t we have something in Asia that we want to talk about?”
The president deflected the issue back to the campaigns, referring to the “noise” between the candidates, “If you want insights into how they’re thinking about it, those should be directed to them.”
Watch the exchange.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump on Thursday reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for president, completing an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and sets the stage for a bitter fall campaign.

Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention. Among them is Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.
“I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn’t like where our country is,” Pollard said. “I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump.”
It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination for president. Trump has reached 1,238. With 303 delegates at stake in five state primaries on June 7, Trump will easily pad his total, avoiding a contested convention in Cleveland in July.
Trump, a political neophyte who for years delivered caustic commentary on the state of the nation from the sidelines but had never run for office, fought off 16 other Republican contenders in an often ugly primary race.
Many on the right have been slow to warm to Trump, wary of his conservative bona fides. Others worry about Trump’s crass personality and the lewd comments he’s made about women.
But millions of grassroots activists, many who have been outsiders to the political process, have embraced Trump as a plain-speaking populist who is not afraid to offend.
Steve House, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party and an unbound delegate who confirmed his support of Trump to AP, said he likes the billionaire’s background as a businessman.
“Leadership is leadership,” House said. “If he can surround himself with the political talent, I think he will be fine.”
Others who confirmed their decision to back Trump were more tepid, saying they are supporting him out of a sense of obligation because he won their state’s primary.
Cameron Linton of Pittsburgh said he will back Trump on the first ballot since he won the presidential primary vote in Linton’s congressional district.
“If there’s a second ballot I won’t vote for Donald Trump,” Linton said. “He’s ridiculous. There’s no other way to say it.”
Trump’s path to the Republican presidential nomination began with an escalator ride.
Trump and his wife, Melania, descended an escalator into the basement lobby of the Trump Tower on June 16, 2015, for an announcement many observers said would never come: The celebrity real estate developer, who had flirted with running for office in the past, would announce that he was launching his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination.
That speech set the tone for the candidate’s ability to dominate the headlines with provocative statements, insults and hyperbole. He called Mexicans “rapists,” promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and ban Muslims from the U.S. for an indeterminate time.
He put down women based on their looks. And he unleashed an uncanny marketing ability in which he deduced his critics’ weak points and distilled those to nicknames that stuck. “Little Marco” Rubio, “Weak” Jeb Bush and “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, among others, all were forced into primarily reacting to Trump. They fell one-by-one – leaving Trump sole survivor of a riotous Republican primary.
His rallies became must-see events and magnets for free publicity. Onstage, he dispensed populism that drew thousands of supporters, many wearing his trademark “Make America Great Again” hat and chanting, “Build the wall!”
The events drew protests too- with demonstrators sometimes being forcibly ejected from the proceedings. One rally in Chicago was cancelled after thousands of demonstrators surrounded the venue and the Secret Service could no longer vouch for the candidate’s safety.
When voting started, Trump was not so fast out of the gate.
He lost the Iowa caucuses in February, falling behind Cruz and barely edging Rubio for second. He recovered in New Hampshire. From there he and Cruz fiercely engaged, with Trump winning some and losing some but one way or another dominating the rest of the primary season – in votes or at least in attention – and ultimately in delegates.
All the while, Republican leaders declared themselves appalled by Trump’s rise. Conservatives called the onetime Democrat a fraud. But they failed, ultimately, to block him. Republican leaders slowly, warily, began meeting with Trump and his staff. And he began winning endorsements from a few members of Congress.
As with other aspects of his campaign, Trump upended the traditional role of money in the race.
He incurred relatively low campaign costs – just $57 million through the end of April. He covered most of it with at least $43 million of his own money loaned to the campaign. He spent less than $21 million on paid television and radio commercials. That’s about one-quarter of what Jeb Bush and his allies spent on TV. Bush dropped out of the race three months ago, after disappointing results in South Carolina.
Trump, 69, the son of a New York City real estate magnate, had risen to fame in the 1980s and 1990s, overseeing major real estate deals, watching his financial fortunes rise, then fall, hosting “The Apprentice” TV show and authoring more than a dozen books.

In an interview Wednesday with The Hollywood Reporter, former child actor Corey Feldman opened up about abuse he says suffered as a child and revealed that one of his alleged abusers is “still prominently in the business today.”
“We’ve run into each other many times but no, I’ve never confronted him,” Feldman said.
Feldman’s interview followed recent remarks by actor Elijah Wood that “there are a lot of vipers” in the film industry who prey on children.
Feldman said that the men who allegedly preyed upon children in the industry often did so in groups, and would lure lonely children to parties.

“They would throw these parties where you’d walk in and it would be mostly kids and there would be a handful of adult men,” Feldman said. “They would also be at the film awards and children’s charity functions.”
Feldman said he is not able to name his abusers due to California’s statute of limitations.
I’m not able to name names. People are frustrated, people are angry, they want to know how is this happening and they want answers and they turn to me and they say, “Why don’t you be a man and stand up and name names and stop hiding and being a coward?” I have to deal with that, which is not pleasant, especially given the fact that I would love to name names. I’d love to be the first to do it. But unfortunately California conveniently enough has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening. Because if I were to go and mention anybody’s name I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I’m the one that would be sued.
“We should be talking to the district attorneys and the lawmakers in California, especially because this is where the entertainment industry is and this is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world,” Feldman added.
Wood recently said that children in the film industry are at risk from a dark “underbelly” in Hollywood. “There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind,” Wood told The Hollywood Reporter.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) was declared “out of order” during a House hearing on Wednesday after she angrily called a witness an “ignorant bigot.”
Screengrab via C-SPAN
Lofgren initiated the exchange by reading from testimony given by Gail Heriot, of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, at the hearing:
“We are teaching kids a terrible lesson. ‘I believe that I am a Russian princess.’ That doesn’t make me a Russian princess, even if my friends and acquaintances are willing to indulge my fantasy. Nor am I a great-horned owl just because, as I have been told, I happen to share some personality traits with those feathered creatures.”
Lofgren called the witnesses testimony “rather offensive” and questioned the subject’s knowledge on the transgender issue,
When Heriot attempted to respond to Lofgren’s claims, the Democrat grew angry and began name-calling.
“I think you are a bigot, lady!” she said. “I think you are an ignorant bigot! I think you are an ignorant bigot and anti-gay—”
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) was then forced t0 interrupt Lofgren for violating committee rules.
“You are out of order,” he said. “We don’t call names in this committee and you’ll not be recognized to do that.”
