WASHINGTON — In modern times, presidents have rarely been church mice afraid of a little salty language. But President Donald Trump has grown increasingly willing in recent months to say in public what most of his predecessors tried to keep behind closed doors. His is the profanity presidency, full of four-letter denunciations of his enemies and earthy dismissals of allegations lodged against him. At rallies and in interviews, on Twitter and in formal speeches, he relishes the bad-boy language of a shock jock, just one more way of gleefully provoking the political establishment bothered by his norm-shattering ways. In a single speech on Friday alone, he managed to throw out a “hell,” an “ass” and a couple of “bulls****” for good measure. In the course of just one rally in Panama City Beach, Florida, earlier this month, he tossed out 10 “hells,” three “damns” and a “crap.” The audiences did not seem to mind. … [Read more...] about News President foul mouth: Trump masters the cuss

News NBA: LeBron was stunned by Magic leaving Lakers
Much like the rest of the basketball world, LeBron James was stunned when Magic Johnson stepped down from his post as the Los Angeles Lakers' president of basketball operations last month. James opened up on the news of Johnson's decision -- which came April 9 shortly before the team's season finale against Portland -- on his HBO show "The Shop," which aired late Saturday night. James said he got the news from longtime friend Randy Mims while he was stretching for the game, and didn't believe it until he checked his phone. "Man, get the f--- out of my face. You bulls---," James said of his initial reaction. "Personally for me," James added on the show, "I came here to be a part of the Lakers organization having a conversation with Magic. So it was just weird for him to be like, 'Nah, I'm out of here.' And not even have no like, 'Hey, 'Bron, kiss my a--, I'm out of here.' I would have been OK with that."

News Huawei P30 review: P series DNA at an attractive price
MANILA -- It's the Huawei P30 -- no Pro, no X, no Max -- and it's fine. In fact, it's really good if you're looking for a photgraphy-centered smartphone that can last for an entire day of snapping and sharing. The 50 times zoom on the P30 Pro is absent on the P30. It also has 3 lenses instead of 4, missing the time of flight or depth sensor. The screen is also smaller at 6.1 inches versus 6.47 inches. But the omissions don't take away from the experience of a Leica-powered P Series phone. Colors are rich, images are sharp and a wide angle view captures as much of the scene as possible. It also helps that the P30 sells for P36,990, P14,000 less than the P30 Pro, P13,000 less than the Galaxy S10 with a similar sized screen and nearly half the price of the iPhone XS.
