Police: Man agreed to pay prostitute with a hamburger.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man is facing charges after police said he agreed to pay an undercover officer posing as a prostitute with a hamburger.

Dominic Calderon was arrested Tuesday in Albuquerque, police said in court documents.

According to a criminal complaint, the 36-year-old Calderon approached the undercover officer while riding his bike and asked her how much she charged. When Calderon said he didn’t get paid until Friday, the officer said he could pay with his burger and he agreed, court documents said.

He was arrested and charged with patronizing prostitutes.

OMG!!!!! Burger King ad uses....the D-WORD!!!!!

Conservative group One Millions Moms is accusing Burger King of airing an “inappropriate” ad that “crosses the line.” The ad in question is for the Impossible Whooper, the vegetarian burger it launched in August.

One Million Moms is taking issue with a moment in the commercial when, as they write, “One man is completely shocked that the burger is not beef, so he uses the d-word to describe how he feels about himself for being deceived by the taste of the burger.”

The “d-word” referenced is “damn.” After taking a bite the man says, “damn that’s good.”

One Million Moms is a division of the American Family Association — which has been named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center because of its stance on LGBTQ issues— and calls itself an organization for moms who are, “fed up with the filth many segments of our society, especially the entertainment media, are throwing at our children.” The organization has less than 100,000 Facebook followers but recently made headlines for igniting strong backlash to a Zola ad that aired on the Hallmark Channel and included a lesbian couple kissing. The ad was temporarily removed in response to the outcry, before the Hallmark CEO apologized and reinstated it.

With respect to the Burger King ad, One Million Moms has started a petition to have it removed from the air; so far roughly 8,500 people have signed it.

“Burger King’s Impossible Whopper ad is irresponsible and tasteless. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial,” the organization writes in their call to action. “We all know children repeat what they hear.”
(Imagine their reaction when their kids repeat what they hear from the p****grabber, who they worship)

This is not the first time that the organization has targeted Burger King. In May 2019, they protested against Burger King’s “Real Meals” campaign which employed the term “DGAF” and the word “pissed.”

So far Burger King has not made a statement in response to One Million Moms and did not immediately reply to Yahoo’s request for comment.

Former Mrs. Florida, a MAGAt, jailed a month for stealing her mom's SS checks.

A federal judge in Florida has ordered Mrs. Florida 2016 to spend a month in jail for stealing her mother's Social Security checks rather than using the money to pay for nursing home care.

Karyn Turk, 47, was also sentenced on Thursday to five months of house arrest when she gets out of prison, and must perform 100 hours of community service in a nursing home, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Turk's adoptive mother died in June at the age of 83, after suffering Alzheimer's and dementia. A court-appointed guardian accused Turk of using her mother's Social Security checks to promote her dream of appearing on 'The Real Housewives of Palm Beach' and to garner publicity.

The guardian accused Turk of using the money to rent large homes and buying tables at fancy equestrian events.

KY Woman Arrested Trying To Pass Off Dog Urine As Her Own During Drug Test

PINEVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — On Monday, a woman was arrested after she tried to pass off dog urine as her own to her probation officer.

Police responded to the Bell County Probation and Parole Office and spoke with officers, who advised that Julie Miller, 30, of Arjay, was at the office for her regular probation visit.

As part of her supervision, Miller was asked for a drug screen. One officer told another that Miller had sneaked in a sample of urine to pass it off as her own. An officer asked Miller if the urine was hers and she admitted that it was not and that it was her dog's urine.

She admitted to officers that she brought it in because she knew she would fail a drug test. Miller told officers that she had used meth and suboxone.

Miller was arrested and taken to the Bell County Detention Center, where she was charged with tampering with physical evidence.

She was also served a probation violation and with trafficking in a controlled substance warrant
