The Scoop for June 5, 2020

We should have seen this coming, but the internet want’s The Rock to run for President. Dwayne Johnson took to social media to ask the President for more compassionate leadership.
And before you say Dwayne Johnson isn’t qualified to be president, remember: He’s very charismatic, has had not one but two very successful careers, and is quite the business man himself.
Besides, he’s The Rock. He’s awesome.


The Australian Prime Minister was outside doing a press conference on a new home-building initiative, when one of the residents noticed he was in his yard.
He then kindly asked the Prime Minister to get off his lawn.
Now you might think the home owner was being rude, but he acutally had a solid reason.
He’d just reseeded it.
This kind of thing would never happen here in the states. Mostly because the only grass the President walks on is on a golf course. Hey yo! See, he likes to golf. A lot.


This makes me happy. Thanks to Geico, the band Ratt is back on Billboard’s Top 20 with their song Round and Round.
It makes sense, because that one ad has aired over 10-thousand times already. Love me some Ratt.
