I had one of the best photos of my wife and daughter that I took and had it made into an oil painting to honor my late wife's memory. I am beyond pleased with the results.

Fred Astaire dancing & playing golf. In this video he makes the game look very easy, maybe not at PGA Tour level, but you can see the great man could play and had a low handicap of 10. Astaire wanted to incorporate golf into a dance routine. "Fooling around at Bel-Air one day," he recalled, "I did a few impromptu rhythm steps just before hitting one off the tee, and was surprised to find that I could really connect that way." So, maybe the game is not so difficult after all.

In recent years we have literally seen millions of Americans relocate from blue states to red states. In some cases, there is simply a desire to be around other like-minded people. In other cases, specific political policies that have been enacted in certain states have motivated large numbers of people to relocate. This was particularly true during the pandemic. Of course there are also many that are just trying to escape the crime, drugs, homelessness and violence that are plaguing so many major cities in blue states. For those that are trying to raise a family, finding a safe environment...

Quick synopsis of this 5min. video: Liquid fuel is far more efficient than batteries. It's not even close.

Can someone please tell me what a Zeeper is. I keep seeing it in some comments and have been unable to find a definition. Thank you in advance.

I am in complete SHOCK! I just now found out that our own BRILLIANT Charles Henrickson passed away on April 28. Anyone who knew Charles knew how INCREDIBLE he was. His intelligence was OFF-SCALE. Nobody had a better way with words than Charles. At a drop of the hat he could could compose absolutely BRILLIANT and HILARIOUS parody songs. Some might remember that for a long while he was my partner in "crime" for producing the DUmmie FUnnies. I am very fussy about my writing so only someone whose writing I have total respect for would I allow to have...

When I was growing up, my father taught me to get my opponent down, and while down stomp and kick them while they couldn't get back up. Thinking about Trump being elected again, I know liberals would be pissing themselves and running in circles not knowing what to do. In order to finally get them to bust a vein and fall over, we need to write our congressmen to add a bust of Trump to Mt. Rushmore. There appears to be a space on Rushmore big enough for this project. Just voting and discussing the project for a few months...

MSNBC hacks realize that none of the kangaroo court cases against Trump will be resolved before the election.

They’s rather cover-up these fundings than admit they were wrong.And what of all the poor simpletons that were so easily propagandised, tricked into believing that Ivermectin was a horse paste ?...

“It crosses my mind more that that could’ve happened while I was there,” Ashlin Couch said in a segment that aired on Good Morning America on Wednesday, May 8. “And, you know, you never know, like how long someone is watching your house.” According to GMA, Couch moved out of the off-campus Moscow, Idaho, home in May 2022, six months before the murders took place. Her former roommates and friends, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were fatally stabbed in the three-floor residence on Nov. 13, 2022. All four were close friends and...

Three months ago, Nancy Mace's office was in disarray. The Republican congresswoman fired or lost nine staffers from her Washington D.C. office in three months - and many of them trashed her to the media on the way out. Now, the South Carolina lawmaker has dramatically hit back and accused the former aides of sabotage in an extraordinary interview with DailyMail.com. Mace, 46, says the departed staffers mismanaged $1million, hacked her phone, spied on medical records, and even submerged electronic devices in water and deleted files to cover their tracks. The mother-of-two claims they even went as far snooping on...

The FBI is at it again, going after US citizens with a little help from Speaker Johnson and the rest of Congress, who voted to extend the FBI’s 702 FISA powers. Remember, these are the same powers they used illegally against President Trump and his team without ever facing the consequences. Now, they’re back in action, ready to crank up the wiretaps, all thanks to our “captured” lawmakers. As a matter of fact, about 20 minutes before becoming Speaker, Mike Johnson was against the FBI’s warrantless wiretaps. But that stance took a quick turn after the feds got him alone...

Article EXCERPT:Federal health officials said the government is also pursuing an mRNA bird flu vaccine, based on the same technology as Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines.Chin-Hong said this type of vaccine could potentially be updated more quickly to match the currently circulating strains of the virus. But these vaccines have their own challenges, he said, such as needing to be stored at extremely cold temperatures.In addition, given that these vaccines would be a new use of the mRNA vaccine technology, the FDA may require clinical trials which could delay the roll-out to the greater population.There are other options for dealing...

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has made some questionable remarks regarding China in recent years, including applauding the country for allegedly using threats of prison or organ harvesting as a means to meet its green energy goals, according to unearthed comments reviewed by Fox News Digital. "They take this very seriously," Kennedy said in 2014, speaking of China and its clean energy agreement that year. "I don’t know whether… the guy ends up in prison with his, you know, organs harvested or what. But they are very, very dead serious." Kennedy’s comments, made on "The Ring Of Fire" radio...

A North Carolina cafe customer is out $2,000 as her go-to diner posted her entire credit card information online for the world to see. Rhonda Deaver paid her weekly visit to Smith’s Cafe in Kinston following her doctor’s appointment on April 30 and dined at the restaurant, approximately 80 miles southeast of Raleigh. During her drive home, Deaver received a call from her bank telling her she left her credit card at the cafe. When she returned to the diner, cafe staff told Deaver they had taken a picture of the front and back of the card and posted it...

A bill proposed by House Republicans seeks to send individuals convicted of illegal activities at anti-Israel college protests to Gaza for a minimum six-month community service sentence, asserting that “pro-Hamas” campus activists “should get a taste of [their] own medicine.” The legislation, spearheaded by Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles and supported by Reps. Randy Weber (R-TX) and Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Wednesday, is labeled the “Antisemitism Community Service Act,” and targets those involved in anti-Israel demonstrations, which have seen numerous arrests and instances of violence: “Any person convicted of unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education...

A presidential election poll conducted April 16 through 23 by The Bullfinch Group, has the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J Trump, winning Washington state in a 5-way race with current presidential contenders Joe Biden (D), Robert F Kennedy Jr (I), Jill Stein (G), and Cornel West (I). According to the poll, which is sponsored by The Independent Center, Trump leads with 40%, to Biden’s 35%, Kennedy has 13%, Stein is at 4% West came in at 1%, and approximately 8% of respondents were unsure who they would be voting for president. What may provide some additional insight, is that 45%...

Pfizer has agreed to settle more than 10,000 lawsuits which alleged that the company failed to warn patients about possible cancer risks caused by the anti-heartburn medication Zantac.The lawsuits were filed in state courts across the country, but the agreements don’t completely resolve Pfizer’s exposure to the claims linking Zantac and cancer, according to Bloomberg News.Terms of the settlements were not disclosed.The Post has sought comment from Pfizer.Zantac was brought to market in 1983 by Glaxo Holdings, a company that is now part of the GlaxoSmithKline company.By 1988, it was the world’s best selling drug as patients reported benefits for...

Last night, Antifa & Hamas supporters were given complete control of the center of the @UW campus by the administration & barricades to enforce it. Students were not allowed to walk freely on campus This group of students was told "No Jews Allowed" This is the Little Gaza encampment that @washdems & @shasticonrad @thestranger & @crosscut call "peaceful" Unfortunately, I stopped recording and missed when one of the students face-timed their parents to show them the barricade and said "This is what you are paying $60,000 a year for. Your son isn't allowed to walk on campus"
