If you take a quick gander at last year's FBI assessment for domestic terrorism, you'll see it includes: anti-government militia groups, white supremacy extremists, sovereign citizen nationalists, anarchists, violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separists, both pro abortion activists and anti abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists. Notice anything missing? Exactly. Now FBI Director James Comey admitted that ISIS a greater threat to the United States than al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, Chattanooga shooter has been labeled a "homegrown violent extremist" despite the fact that he had been following al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki and made all those pesky little trips to the Middle East over the past few years.
But people are slowly coming out of the woodwork to call Islamis terrorism what is is, even as this Administration fails to do so: Tomi Lahren and retired Staff Sergeant Alonzo Lunsford both had lots to say on the issue, especially with it coming to light that one Naval officer and one marine fought back against the shooter. And if you're interested, here is Lahren with her Naval officer boyfriend she speaks of.
Proper hydration is key for optimal body function, and not consuming enough water can lead to serious complications, including dehydration. Drinking a gallon of water a day is more than the recommended intake but will not have any harmful effects on your system if you are not dehydrated. Water makes up more than 60 percent of your body weight, and without it, you would not survive more than a few days. All of your body's cells and organs need water to run, and it also functions as a lubricant in your body. Excess water is removed from your body through sweating as well as urination. Doctors recommend drinking six to eight 8-ounce glasses per day, so while a gallon of water is double the recommended intake, the excess will simply be excreted by your body.

Pabst Blue Ribbon provides an interesting case study in cool. Just a few years ago, the Pabst Brewing Company was in shambles. The watery, 170-year-old beer enjoyed popularity in the 1970s, but the '80s were none too kind to the brew, kicking off a 20-year sales slump. In 1996, Pabst closed its flagship Milwaukee brewery. In 2001, sales dropped to fewer than a million barrels -- 90 percent below its 1975 high. Then something changed, and PBR was suddenly the hipster's choice at bars and barbecues everywhere. Sales jumped by 20.3 percent in 2009 and continued to rise steadily over the next few years, according to Beer Marketer's Insights.
