This ice cream lover has gelato chutzpah! A woman in Argentina stripped down to her underwear and attempted to use her dress as a face covering to get around an ice cream parlor’s mask mandate, video shows. “Don’t ask for my face mask, I’m putting it on,” she boldly tells the staff at the store in Godoy Cruz, a city in the western province of Mendoza, before she strips off. The surveillance footage also shows a man approach the counter with his three daughters as the comical scene unfolds. Even though he wears a mask below his nose, the father...

President Joe Biden was treated to his favorite treat for Thanksgiving dessert on Thursday — ice cream. The White House released details of the president’s Thanksgiving dinner, including thyme roasted turkey, roasted vegetables, sweet potatoes, kale, button mushrooms, and cranberry relish.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—CNN has just released a bombshell interview with an anonymous White House whistleblower, who gave a harrowing account that could spell trouble for the Biden administration. Speaking with Jake Tapper, the whistleblower—who identifies as a "White House aide who is young, with no hair plugs or dentures and definitely not Joe Biden"—gave an account of brutal working conditions in the White House. "Listen, folks, here's the deal," said the unidentified whistleblower through a distortion filter to protect his identity. "It stinks here, Jack! Strangers drag me from place to place and make me sign papers and read words on...

My husband grew up with lots of siblings, which came in handy for the annual tomato sauce making. But even when they were all quite young, it was useful for making ice cream in their father’s old wooden crank gizmo. The youngest would start out (and tire pretty quickly) and then the others would take over like stair-steps; until finally my husband, the oldest, finished it off. I liked ice cream a lot when I was a kid (these days I prefer fruit sherbet); and while it may be one of those things that are never as good later in...

Seattle-based CEO Molly Neitzel joined a group of executives in Washington D.C. on Wednesday to discuss President Joe Biden’s recently-announced employer vaccine requirements. Neitzel — the founder of Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream — was one of two Puget Sound region executives in attendance, joined by Microsoft President Brad Smith. Despite pushback against the mandates from prominent Republicans across the U.S., Neitzel noted that Wednesday’s meeting centered around the CEOs in attendance voicing support for the requirements. “At Molly Moon’s, we make the world better one scoop at a time — vaccines do the same,” she Tweeted. “We can all...

President Biden on Thursday will address Americans on the next steps he and his administration will take to combat the coronavirus, the worst pandemic to sweep the globe in a century. The president’s speech, where he’s expected to detail a six-pronged strategy, comes amid a surge this summer in COVID-19 cases due to the swift spread across the U.S. of the highly infectious delta variant. Biden’s speech will also take place as his administration works to convince more Americans to get vaccinated against the virus, and with pressure increasing for vaccines to be authorized for children younger than 12 following...

The Taliban sent Joe Biden a message Tuesday by posing for a photograph, which later end up on Twitter, showing fighters holding ice cream cones. The message is clear. They know Biden is a weak, mentally disabled joke of a man, and they have zero fear of America under his leadership. This is the image Biden has projected to America’s enemies.

CAMP DAVID—Amid increased calls to address the nation as Afghanistan falls to the Taliban, the Biden Administration has confirmed he will give an emergency press conference to announce which ice cream flavor he plans to eat today. "Amid rising tensions throughout the country and in the middle east, our beloved leader is giving the American people exactly what they need right now," said CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins. "We're all dying to know—will it be chocolate chip? Maybe chocolate-chocolate chip? I believe I speak for the entire country when I say the suspense is totally killing me!" Exploiting a tragic scenario...

The iconic, famously woke ice cream company, Ben & Jerry’s, announced on Monday that it will no longer sell its product in “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” As the company explained, “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).” However, they added, “Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement.” Put another way (and to read between the lines), “We will continue to sell our ice cream to the evil oppressors in their own...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday said he would withdraw all five of the GOP lawmakers he nominated to serve on a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vetoed two of them.

The woke ice cream company veers into anti-Semitism The left-wing ice cream company Ben & Jerry's announced on Monday that it will stop selling its ice cream in the West Bank and East Jerusalem—or, as the company termed them, Occupied Palestinian Territory. In a move that perfectly captures how left-wing activism is increasingly bleeding into naked anti-Semitism, Ben & Jerry's said that selling ice cream in the West Bank is "inconsistent with our values." Yikes. We're not clear how exactly removing Ben & Jerry's ice cream from grocery stores in the West Bank will benefit the Palestinians. The move appears...

Less than 24 hours after receiving the news that Ben & Jerry's had announced they would not allow their ice cream to be sold in Judea & Samaria, what they called "occupied Palestinian territory,” there has been a grassroots backlash against this company in Jewish neighborhoods around the world.. Both the Israeli TV and social media channels are reporting that Israelis are boycotting B&J's ice cream, and had to be told by the government that in Israel,one should continue purchasing it to try to save the local manufacturing plant which had been told its contract would not be renewed. The...

Avi Zinger, CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel, on Monday commented on the global Ben & Jerry’s corporation’s decision to boycott Judea and Samaria, telling Channel 12 News he has no intention of stopping the sales of the ice cream in Judea and Samaria. "It is inconceivable that the company decides to cause harm for political reasons, and mix ice cream and politics," said Zinger. Zinger said he had been under heavy pressure from Ben & Jerry's global corporation. "I heard about the decision more or less together with everyone," he said, "but I have been under pressure for about...

It’s comfort food — in a cone. A limited-edition macaroni and cheese-flavored ice cream hit freezers nationwide this week, Brooklyn-based ice cream maker Van Leeuwen and Kraft Heinz announced. The cheesy frozen treat went on sale for $12 a pint on Wednesday, marking National Macaroni & Cheese Day, the companies said. It will be available for purchase in Van Leeuwen’s stores across the country as well as online while supplies last. The companies described the ice cream as a "cool, creamy scoop of ice cream that brings that comforting, nostalgic feeling from a warm bowl of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese."...

We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners. We have a longstanding partnership with our licensee, who manufactures Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel and distributes it in the region. We have been working to change this, and so we have informed our licensee that we will not renew the license agreement when it expires at the end of next year.

President Joe Biden on Sunday celebrated national ice cream day by posting an image of himself grabbing a large cone and posing for a selfie.

Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris held a White House event Thursday marking the day the first round of child tax credit payments go out to some 39 million American families. 'This is a middle class tax cut,' Biden said. 'This is a tax cut for having children.' The tax credits were part of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan which was passed by Congress in March with no Republican support. Republicans have argued that the child tax credit boost amounts to an expansion of the welfare state. 'We'll probably hear from our Republican friends all who voted against this,...
