Something here just isn’t making sense. There’s a new report that suggests the Trump Hotel truck bomber might have actually been a dedicated Donald Trump fan. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Trump Hotel Truck Bomber Was A ‘Dedicated Trump Fan?’

According to the latest reports, a relative of Matthew Livelsberger, the accused Trump Hotel truck bomber, claims he was a “dedicated Trump supporter” and doubts the official story.

It’s been noted that the explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the hotel.

The family member added that Livelsberger possessed the expertise to level an entire hotel if that had been his intention. He says nothing here makes sense.

Of course, the internet certainly did have a lot to say about the matter. Some comments included, “It’s not as if Livelsberger worked at burger king. He was active...

Goku and Vegeta are one of anime and manga’s most iconic rivals. They’re so inseparable that fans sometimes forget they have wives supporting them from the background. The debate on who’s stronger, Goku or Vegeta, will go on till the end of time, even years after Dragon Ball Super ends. While fans of each character will argue with some bias, there’s no doubt that each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Fans know quite well that series creator Akira Toriyama loved Goku and disliked Vegeta initially, but as the story progressed, he grew to like Vegeta more. Invariably, he gave the Saiyan Prince a key advantage over his rival that Goku fans cannot help but accept.

The Fizzle Bomber's identity is an unexpected twist, revealing a complex connection between past and future selves in Predestination's ending. Ethan Hawke's captivating performance and the film's thematic exploration of fate make Predestination a standout sci-fi noir with time travel elements. The clever narrative structure and mind-bending plot twists keep audiences engaged, despite the film's box office reception.

The Predestination movie ending explained the Fizzle Bomber's identity, the mind-bending time-travel elements, and so much more.

Sad news arrives from Japan, as illustrator and character designer Mutsumi Inomata passes away at the age of 63. Inomata died on March 10, 2024, but the news of her passing was shared on March 17 in Japan by her sister on Inomata’s X (formerly Twitter) account.

Over the course of her career, she has worked on numerous anime series and films, either as an animator or character designer. Some of her major works include 1983’s Plawres Sanshirou, 1985’s Leda: The Fantastic Adventure of Yohko,...

“[Cassettes] were a standard part of every tour … Motörhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show,” read the press release for the box set. “They contain gold, pure aural gold, and had for many years sat hundreds of feet underground in a small cave Lemmy owned, guarded by small, hairy centurions in Roman armor with small spears and bad attitudes. Only the magic password would release them, and thankfully, Lem had scribbled it...

Warning: contains spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog #61!Undoubtedly, Sonic the Hedgehog's most powerful combo originally involved Amy Rose whacking a spin-dashing Sonic with her piko hammer at their target, the force of which would cause more damage than a normal spin dash. Called the Croquette Bomber, the first time Sonic and Amy employed this attack in Idw's universe was devastating, but a new combo just completely put the Croquette Bomber to shame.

After finally escaping from Dr. Eggman's Eggperial City, Sonic decides that the best course of action would be to put the entire city out of commission rather than allow Eggman to repair it for later use, which the hedgehog goes about by employing the help of Blaze the Cat, Amy Rose and Tails along with the series' best dynamic duo Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf. Together, Sonic is able to spin dash into and destroy the...

Mattel Films and Universal Pictures continue developing a live-action "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" movie, based on the Mattel tabletop game, starring Vin Diesel, to be produced by Samantha Vincent ("The Fast and the Furious"):

The original two-player action toy designed by Marvin Glass and Associates was first manufactured by the Marx toy company in 1964.

The game features two dueling robot boxers, 'Red Rocker' and 'Blue Bomber', mechanically manipulated by the players. Each player takes control of one of the two robots both of which are standing on a platform molded in bright yellow high-impact polystyrene plastic, representing a boxing ring. 

By pushing plunger buttons on a pair of joysticks at the base of the platform, players make their robot punch at their opponent's robot. If a robot's head is hit with sufficient force at a suitable angle, the head will make a sound overextending away from the shoulders,...

Motörhead have dropped a previously unreleased live version of “The Hammer,” which will appear on the upcoming 40th anniversary reissue of their first live album, No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith, out June 25th.

This version of “The Hammer” — which Motörhead tear through in all their ragged, raw and pulverizing glory — comes from their March 30th, 1981 concert concert at Newcastle City hall in Newcastle, England. While a handful of tracks from that show made it on to the original No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith, the new reissue marks the first time the concert...

As Zack Snyder’s Justice League prepares to showcase the director’s true vision of the 2017 film long-sought by a vocal segment of the fandom, behind-the-scenes details have emerged about the director’s exit from the theatrical film, providing interesting context to its upcoming debut on HBO Max. It seems that the official—devastatingly heartbreaking—explanation for Snyder’s departure from the film actually overshadowed some behind-the-scenes strife.

Picture this for a Justice League plotline: Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a recently widowed Lois Lane (Amy Adams). While the notion of a Batman/Lois Lane romance is not entirely unheard of in the annals of DC Comics, it might seem awkward for a film franchise that was still taking its first steps. Nevertheless, this was a major angle that Snyder intended to inject into the film, as revealed in a lengthy Vanity Fair exposé. Of course, the romance,...

Motörhead’s commercial breakthrough, Ace of Spades, will be the subject of a massive reissue this fall with two previously unreleased live albums and a clutch of alternate versions of the album’s songs.

The box set, which comes out on October 30th, features a collection of instrumental demos, B-sides, outtakes and alternative versions. Some of the material came out on various reissues, but...

“People always ask why,” Michael Metelits admits at the start of this meticulously composed, emotionally haunting documentary about his mother, Marion Stokes.

“Why did she do it?”

The “it” is simple: over the course of 30 years, Stokes recorded TV news around the clock on multiple channels, in multiple rooms, until she amassed an archive of 70,000 VHS tapes. But the “why”? That’s not so easy. There will be as many opinions as there were people who observed her life — and now, with “Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project,” that includes us.

In fact, it was mutability itself that first inspired Stokes. As a fiercely private black woman in politics in the mid-20th century, she brought perspectives that were rarely shared by anyone she met, let alone the white men with whom she most often worked.

In 1979, Motörhead became the one band headbangers and punks could agree upon. The two records they put out that year, Overkill and Bomber, smacked of gritty, unpredictable, throbbing riffs and frontman Lemmy Kilmister sounded as if he had been huffing macadam and was coughing it up kernel by kernel. It was the best of metal, punk, and Capital-r Rock & Roll sledgehammered into half-hour wallops. The lyrics ranged from lubricious (“Damage Case”) to ludicrous (“Over the Top”), and yet Lemmy was also the king of metal maxims: “The only way to...

Lemmy Kilmister started writing the outlaw country song “The Mask” in 1979 — the same year he put out the screaming, hard-rock albums Overkill and Bomber with his band Motörhead — but didn’t finish it until three decades later. Now, a decade after that – and a couple of years after his death – the song is finally seeing the light of day.

Kilmister completed the song in 2009 with country singer Lynda Kay, who plays herself on the Amazon Prime series Goliath. The recording was thought to be lost but was recently rediscovered. It...

Dave Grohl jumped behind a drum kit for a performance of Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak” and Motörhead’s “Bomber” during a surprise appearance at the fifth annual “Ride for Ronnie” motorcycle ride and concert tribute to Ronnie James Dio held in Encino, California Sunday.

Grohl’s appearance at Ride for Ronnie wasn’t pre-planned, with the rocker not knowing about the event until a fan approached him in a grocery store and asked if he was going. Grohl replied, “Now I am.” Despite no rehearsals or any advanced notice, Grohl...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Nxt, but in Europe. Is that specific enough?

Match #1: “Bomber” Dave Mastiff def. “Primate” Jay Melrose The following is courtesy of WWE.com:

Jay Melrose opened the latest episode of Nxt UK by unleashing an animalistic effort against the still-undefeated monster Dave Mastiff. When he attempted to lift the “Bomber” onto his shoulder, however, his poor judgment proved to be his undoing. And after completely flattening the “Primate,” Mastiff finished him off with the Cannonball into the corner.

My Take: 2 out of 5 – This was done before you could even begin to miss it.

Match #2: Walter def. Jack Starz The following is courtesy of WWE.com:

Match #1: Dakota Kai def. Nina Samuels – Nxt UK Women’s Championship Tournament Quarterfinal Match The following is courtesy of WWE.com:

The Nxt UK Women’s Championship Tournament kicked off in Birmingham, as Dakota Kai took on Nina Samuels. From the start, Samuels used her height and power to gain the advantage, as she worked to weaken Kai’s lower back in order to prevent Kai from getting on a roll with her signature kicks. Samuels’ assault included a series of submission maneuvers, a dropkick to Kai’s back and an excruciating tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
