Gorillas protest Cincinnati Zoo shooting

Thousands of gorillas marched in protest outside the Cincinnati Zoo today after zookeepers shot a 450-pound western lowland gorilla with a rifle to save the life of a 3-year-old boy who had slipped into the gorilla's enclosure.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called the protesting gorillas "paid agitators" and "thugs."

"These are very bad gorillas, very bad," Trump told a rally in Anaheim. "They're the most dishonest gorillas I've ever seen, they're slime. Believe me. Believe me. And by the way, they're slime."

Trump claimed that billionaire liberal activist George Soros paid to bus the gorilla protesters to Cincinnati.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sided with the protesting gorillas. Sanders tearfully told reporters that Harambe, the deceased gorilla, "could have been my son."

President Obama was more guarded in his remarks, telling reporters he "didn't know all the facts yet," but that the zookeepers "acted stupidly."

Tools lost in space turn up in old ‘Star Trek’ episode

CAPE CANAVERAL-NASA confirmed that tools that accidentally floated away from a Shuttle astronaut into space in 2011 have been positively identified as the same tools used in an episode of  “Star Trek” broadcast in 1967.

Prof. Noah Swayne of Hoboken University explained that objects lost in space "frequently turn up in old television programs that are set in the future" due to a space-time continuum scientists are unable to explain. The most famous example of this is the robot’s head in the old “Lost in Space” series--it was actually a light fixture from the men’s room of the International Space Station.

Trump to reconvene Warren Commission 'to bring Rafael Cruz to justice'

NEW YORK - Donald Trump said that if he is elected president, on his first day in office, he will reconvene the Warren Commission, the official committee that investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, to study Rafael Cruz's role in JFK's death. Rafael Cruz is the father of presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

Trump told Bill O'Reilly of Fox News: "We have strong evidence that Rafael Cruz was involved--very, very strong evidence that he either pulled the trigger or was with Lee Harvey Oswald at the time of the shooting."

O'Reilly told Trump that all the members of the Warren Commission are dead.

"Believe me, Bill, they might be dead, but we're bringing them back," Trump said. "We're bringing them back. Believe me. Believe me."

O'Reilly quickly added that if Rafael Cruz did kill President Kennedy, "it's just another reason to pass 'Kate's Law,'" proposed legislation O'Reilly has backed that would impose mandatory prison terms on certain illegal immigrants convicted of major felonies. "If Rafael Cruz is guilty, he needs to be brought to justice," O'Reilly said.

O'Reilly added: "Now, I wanted to get into what evidence you have for your allegation that Rafael Cruz was involved in the assassination, but we don't have time for that. I need to move on to this other point, which is more important. Do you think I've been fair to you, Donald? Is there anything I've said that isn't fair?"

Trump responded by noting that O'Reilly "could be more fair sometimes," and O'Reilly promised he'd try to do better.

"Coming up next," O'Reilly announced, "Geraldo Rivera and some other Fox News people to malign Ted Cruz."
