Dan O’Connor, 53, rides his bike from Lincoln Square to Montrose Harbor to reenact a daily ritual that he says is keeping him sane. Thursday was the 160th day in row. “Since June 13th,” he said. O’Connor strips off his clothes, positions his cellphone camera and steps to the edge of the water, facing Chicago’s dazzling skyline. Then, O’Connor takes the plunge that washes away his worries. “Oh it feels refreshing. Feels great. Everything’s...

Gavin Newsom (D) has imposed with the holiday season in full swing.Newsom, who was recently caught attending a private party with multiple people at a high-end restaurant, issued a "limited" stay-at-home order for most of the state, which also includes a curfew from 10:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m. Newsom said the lockdowns are necessary because of the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases.

U.S.—A concerning new study has revealed that kids raised in church youth groups are leaving the Christian faith at alarming rates, regardless of how much free Mountain Dew and pizza the church ministry feeds them in high school. "I don't know what else to do," said local youth pastor Kaylen Zedwink, known affectionately as "Z-man" by his youth group. "I've consumed nothing but pizza and Mountain Dew for the last 12 years. My cholesterol is approaching lethal levels now. My body is covered in welts from being constantly shot with paintballs. I spend $1200 per month on cool clothes. I...

Sacramento’s top health official referred to Asian Americans as “yellow folks” during a board of supervisors meeting on Tuesday. County Health Director Dr. Peter Beilenson used the phrase, which many Asian American advocates consider a racial slur, while speaking in support of a resolution declaring racism a public health crisis. “It’s a crucial thing we need to be doing to address the issues of the African-American, and brown, and yellow folks, as well as the white folks” Beilenson said while speaking inside the county chambers, wearing a mask over his chin. The term “yellow” has been used in the past...

Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President Donald Trump’s election legal actions were a “two-week-long temper tantrum.” CNN’s Dana Bash said, “Let’s start with what you just mention about your Republican colleagues in the Senate. I know you have real relationships across the aisle. You talk to them in private. What is your sense from those behind the scenes conversations about when they will finally come out, A, and B, whether or not they think it will really have impact or thinking it is time to do that for history’s sake.”

Still remember when this was a bright and shiny new song. The character in this Korean drama music video, Crazy Horse, is young enough to still enjoy taking on the bullies. Seems somehow appropriate just now. YouTube Playlist of My Asian Dramas and Art Music Videos

Parler, a social networking app that markets itself as “non-biased, free speech social media focused on protecting user’s rights,” has experienced a spike in popularity in the past two weeks, with roughly one million people downloading the app within a few days of the Nov. 3 election. Users who were upset that large social networks like Facebook and Twitter had taken minor steps to reduce election disinformation propelled Parler to the top of the app download charts on both Google Play and the iOS App Store. As a result, as of November 18, the app is prominently displayed in both...

Years worth of jokes and boasts about visiting Disney whilst tripping – we're thinking especially of a Simpsons episode where Lisa Simpson had a bad trip on a ride that seems suspiciously like It's A Small World – went drastically wrong when a South Florida man on acid tackled a Disney security guard at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Unlike the Disneyland Paris visitor last year who took some LSD and simply got naked and went for a wander, James Arvid, 19, was arrested after tackling a security guard at DinoLand U.S.A. last month. Arvid later admitted to authorities that...

FATE, TX—Local libertarian man Gabriel Parton read yet another headline today about how the 2020 election was illegitimate. While Republicans nodded solemnly at the headline and Democrats screamed in rage, Parton reacted the way he does to everything: he just smiled smugly. "Actually," he said as a friend told him that the 2020 election was illegitimate, "all elections are illegitimate. Every election is simply the majority imposing their will on the minority through the threat of force, and as such is a violation of the non-aggression principle. I never consented to this election, and I am now being detained under...

Fox News has had its moments during this election cycle. There’s been considerable frustration and anger with the hosts. Election Night was a disaster for the network. Other hot mic moments have infuriated viewers. They cut away from a Trump White House presser on voter fraud. It’s been a mess. Tucker Carlson appeared to have taken a swipe at his colleagues, noting you just can’t cut away from news coverage that you don’t like. Yet, last night, it was different. Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell says she has evidence of vote fraud. She said that it will prove that President...

The virus that causes the Covid-19 disease has now infected more than 54 million people across the planet, but the question of just where it came from remains a mystery. Researchers may have found a new link in this puzzle after discovering evidence suggesting the pathogen had infected people across Italy as early as September last year, or months before it was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The unexpected finding “may reshape the history of [the] pandemic”, said the team led by Dr Gabriella Sozzi, a life scientist with the National Cancer Institute of Milan, in a...

Michigan State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey is swarmed by biased media and left-wing radicals at Reagan National Airport as he arrived on his way to Washington D.C. to meet President Trump.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s press briefing got heated fast. After her final answer, the press room erupted with shouts. Among the shouters was CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, whom McEnany subsequently wrecked with a response. Here is the KO blow: @burackbobby_ pic.twitter.com/DJITRrUxOk — OutKick (@Outkick) November 20, 2020 A personal rule of hers: don’t “call on activists.” Collins kept the shouting going, arguing, “I’m not an activist, and you haven’t taken questions since October 1st. You just took about five, Kayleigh, that’s not doing your job. Your taxpayer-funded job.” This is 2020, therefore, the fight must carry over to Twitter....
