An investigation is in the works. No confirmation yet that a Trump fanatic actually set the blaze to this Hopewell Missionary Baptiste Church, but the words posted on the walls of this burnt-out building was clear – “VOTE TRUMP.”

Authorities say the fire at the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church was confined to the main sanctuary, and fortunately there were no injuries. It is still to be determined whether the blaze was caused by arson, but the message left on the building makes that a strong possibility. The FBI has already announced that they are looking into the situation and working with local and state authorities to determine whether any civil rights violations may have been committed.

Charging Her Samsung S4 Almost Caused a Fire

She was about to go to bed for the night. She plugged in her loved Samsung S4 for its nightly charge and was awoken by the smell of something burning. Her discovery was her smoldering Samsung S4 and a burnt pillow.

Last week, a 13-year-old North Texas girl plugged her Samsung Galaxy S4 in for its nightly juice-up before hitting the sack, only to be awoken by the smell of something burning hours later. When she got up and searched around for the source of the stench, she realized that she had wedged her charging phone under her pillow. And not only was the backside of the pillow scorched, but the phone was fried into an unrecognizable slab of plastic and melted components.

The event, according to FOX 4, left the family a bit surprised.

“We have a reasonable expectation that the products we buy are going to be safe,” the girl’s father said. He told FOX that he suspects that the phone overheated, causing the battery to swell and start a fire.

The moral of the story? Do not charge your phone while it’s tucked away under your pillow. Not a good idea!
