True to her own unique style, first lady Melania Trump unveiled her policy platform Monday, which is counter to the traditional single-issue initiatives we’ve become accustomed to seeing first ladies take on. Instead she chose a broad approach to a campaign that tackles several issues our nation’s children face. Specifically, the first lady’s Be Best campaign centers on three parts: well-being, social media use and opioid abuse. In a speech in the Rose Garden announcing the initiative, the first lady said: “Let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong, and encourage them to be best in their...

Republican National Committee spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany slammed the media for its critical coverage of first lady Melania Trump. McEnany pointed to rumors that the first lady does not live in the White House, which White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders dismissed as "tabloid gossip" when a reporter raised the topic during Monday's press briefing. McEnany said this is yet another example of how low the media will attack anyone with the last name Trump. "We saw it throughout the 2016 election. They were not just condescending to Melania, they weren't [just] rude, they weren't just petty, but they were outright...

First Lady Melania Trump steps out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight today. Melania Trump, who has carved out a private life as she and President Trump raise their son Barron Trump at the White House, will unveil her formal initiatives as first lady at 3 p.m. in the Rose Garden. Her focus will be on the well-being of children, a White House source told us Sunday, and she wants her portfolio to be a bit broader than the single initiatives often identified with previous first ladies. That’s in line with Melania Trump’s favorite issues during her 12...

For Hispanic girls in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the United States and elsewhere, the 15th birthday marks the most lavish celebration of their lives. Designating a girl’s transition from childhood to adulthood, the quinceañera is a two-part festivity that traces back to both indigenous and European cultural traditions and has become an increasingly opulent affair in recent years. Parents may even spend more on their daughters' "Sweet 15" quinceañeras than their weddings, in fact, which is why some refer them as mini bodas, or miniature weddings. Not counting the birthday presents a young girl might receive, a low-end quinceañera in...

When 1,200 members of the public were hand-selected to attend the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there was no doubt they’d won a lucky ticket. But now, some invitees have been left bemused to discover their won’t be any catering for the masses after being advised to “bring a picnic.” The guests, who will presumably be waiting inside the grounds of Windsor Castle for hours during the day, have been sent letters by the Lord Lieutenants (the Queen’s representatives) to bring their own food as there will not be any catering. They were also advised that it...

Kanye West has been tweeting non-stop and proclaiming his love for Donald Trump. Now, it is being revealed he has a big request for the President — and it involves his youngest daughter Chicago. "Kanye’s infatuated with Trump and is considering asking POTUS to be Chicago’s godfather," a source told In Touch exclusively. "He loves, respects, and admires Trump and feels a man of his prestige and power would be a perfect influence in children’s lives." However, his wife Kim Kardashian is completely opposed to the idea.

BISBEE — Bisbee’s Troop 1 is like any of the hundreds of Boy Scouts of America troops across the state. The members go camping, plan service projects and earn merit badges. But what sets Bisbee’s troop apart is they’ve been doing it for 100 years and were doing it before all the others — at least officially. The Lone Troop Bisbee’s troop — the first formed and the last of seven that once existed in the community — is celebrating this month the 100th anniversary of receiving its charter through the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1918. On official...

NPV was started back in 2007. Never mind that it already violates the law - as I understand states must get Congressional approval before entering into contracts that affect the federal government. So far, ever since 2007, the Democrat has won the popular vote in every presidential election and in every NPV state. When NPV gets enough states to reach 270, there will be a situation where one candidate wins the popular vote in a state but is denied the electoral votes from that state because of NPV. This alone would be enough to cause a lawsuit, and on top...

First Lady Melania Trump loves to rock a luxury designer coat, though she prefers to simply drape the outerwear over her shoulders. With her arms free from the sleeves of the coat, Melania transforms what would be a winter-look into an eveningwear ensemble that’s as elegant and fashion-forward as a Dior gown. This is known as “coat-slinging.” Once a look reserved for fashion insiders and editors, Melania is making coat-slinging the new American silhouette for this winter and early spring. For Melania, coat-slinging serves two purposes. The first purpose is practicality. Why wear a coat when you can drape it...

Christmas preparations are in full swing at the White House, and they sure are a lot more involved that what goes on in most houses, which usually involves dragging the tree out of storage and flinging a bit of tinsel around. Melania Trump and son Barron joined in an old-fashioned tradition of receiving the official White House Christmas tree, something that the first lady of the house does every year, though Michelle Obama had trouble dragging her teenagers out into the cold for the festive event last year. Melania and Barron welcomed a 5.9 metre- (19 foot 3 inch) tall...

Despite all the thought and interior design ingenuity that evidently went into the Thanksgiving table decoration, however, Twitter can be a fickle place to share such things — especially when they’re shared by Ivanka Trump’s personal brand. Hence why, amid the dizzying array of sexual assault and harassment stories in the current news cycle, social media finally latched onto what stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt dubbed the “Blair Witch’s toilet” and ran with it. Which, considering precisely what Ivanka Trump HQ is evidently telling its followers to put on their dinner tables this Thanksgiving, just might be a sign of madness....
