Things not recognizing what they’re supposed to drives me nuts too, like when my phone refuses to recognize my hearing aids.

But why would the camera not work when it does connect to the controller?

I was having the same problem.  I opened up the drone and found a small transmitter in there with Chinese writing on it.  I removed the transmitter and all works well now.
(Actually, I wrote down all the steps so I didn't miss one or get it out of order.  I made sure the battery and controller is fully charged.  And then I found that the little usb to lighting cord from the controller to the Ipad mini was frayed and replaced that.  Now it works perfectly; . . . more than half the time).

And by like I don’t mean “like”.

There is something wonky about that scope.
I agree.

Is it a staged photo-op?

The photo was on the Navy Times web site, until a marine pointed it out.  They pulled the photo.
Also, I don't think anyone puts the front hand grip that far back, except maybe a T-Rex.

He said, "We do this all day."  So that's what the FBI busies themselves with?  Harassing middle aged ladies about their Facebook posts? 

Why don't they go arrest all the illegals squatting in people's homes instead? 

"Chuck Todd and other talent attacked"

talent?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hilarious holding a mirror up to the left.

The Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation.  After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.

 
 At the Baptist Church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery.  The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves.  The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

 
 The Lutheran Church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures.  So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church.  Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

 
 The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning.  They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

 
 But the Catholic Church came up with a more creative strategy!  They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church.  Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

 
 Not much was heard from the Jewish Synagogue.  They took the first squirrel and circumcised him.  They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
