Nicki Minaj heard the wake-up call loud and clear — she’s taking new precautions at home after crooks ransacked her place and jacked $ 200k worth of stuff. Sources close to Nicki tell us … she’s going all out with a security system that…

Doomdsay Clock Reset as Atomic Scientists Warn of Apocalypse
Been a rough year so far, right?
You could probably go for a bit of good news amidst all the talk of border walls, Muslim bans, and Mary Tyler Moore getting cast in that big sitcom in the sky?
Well, we hate to break it you (although you really should’ve figured it out from the headline), but you’ve come to the wrong place!
In case you’re not familiar with the Doomsday Clock, rest assured that it’s every bit as terrifying as it sounds.
Started in 1947 by The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board (If that’s too much to remember, just think, “really smart people.”), the clock is meant to serve as a indicator of how close we are to the end of the world.
Today, it inched forward 30 seconds, bringing it to 11:57:30, the closest it’s been to midnight since 1953, when both the U.S. and Soviet Union tested hydrogen bombs.
(In case symbolism isn’t your strong suit, midnight on the Doomsday Clock equals ka-blooey.)
Today’s move has been described as “unprecedented,” and not surprisingly, it has more than a little to do with the election of Donald Trump.
“Make no mistake, this has been a difficult year,” Rachel Bronson, executive director and publisher of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
In its official statement about how colossally f–ked we all are, the board had this to say:
“Over the course of 2016, the global security landscape darkened as the international community failed to come effectively to grips with humanity’s most pressing existential threats, nuclear weapons and climate change …
“This already-threatening world situation was the backdrop for a rise in strident nationalism worldwide in 2016, including in a U.S. presidential campaign during which the eventual victor, Donald Trump, made disturbing comments about the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons and expressed disbelief in the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change.”
So there you have it folks.
We’re a little bit closer to the end of the world, and darn it, if those pesky Russians aren’t involved again.
It’s been all down with them since Yakov Smirnoff blew up, but electing their brutal dictator’s BFF as our president probably didn’t help matters.
But hey, at least those of you live along our southern border will have a big, dumb $ 14 billion monument to racism to look as it as your face melts off!

Bristol Palin SLAMS President Obama For Supporting The 14-Year-Old Muslim Student Arrested For Bringing A Clock To School — Wait, What?!
Say it ain’t so!
On Thursday, Bristol Palin criticized President Barack Obama (shocker, we know) for “egging” on racial divides by inviting a 14-year-old Texas student to the White House who was wrongfully arrested after bringing a self-made clock to school.
ICYMI: The internet came to the defense of Ahmed Mohamed earlier this week after he was accused by his teachers for making a hoax bomb. Oh no!
In fact, the ninth-grader’s since received shout-outs and invitations from various industry powerhouses, such as Google and Facebook, after the news broke that the talented youth was singled out for being Muslim.
However, the coolest praise might’ve come from POTUS himself.
The Commander-In-Chief took to Twitter and shared:
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.
— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015
AH-Mazing!
Although, it seems this nice gesture was a bit too much for Sarah Palin‘s daughter.
The Dancing With The Stars alum took to her blog and wrote:
“This is the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of. This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd and encourages victimhood. The police made a mistake, clearly. But why put more people against them? Why egg it on? Childish games like this from our president have divided our country… even more today than when he was elected.”
HUH?! We don’t think the President is trying to “egg” anything on — rather he’s trying to make a bright student, who was targeted for his background, feel validated and special after having something so awful happen to him.
We think Bristol’s reaching a bit on this complaint to say the least.
What do U think?! Do U agree with POTUS or Miz Palin??
