Long before coconut water was a trendy sports drink, I adored it. During the annual summer trip to visit my grandmother, I gulped the refreshing liquid straight from the green husk my uncle had broken open with a machete just seconds earlier. My favorite lunch was tender chicken simmered in a sweet and garlicky coconut water reduction. The natural electrolytes and antioxidant properties—those were just fringe benefits. My grandmother lives on the outskirts of Bến Tre, a city that plays a primary role in cementing Vietnam’s position as the third-largest exporter of coconuts in the world. Like other farmers in...

Lou!” “I want to assure you how proud I am, not only to receive the award — I’m even prouder to receive it from President Donald Trump, who I think...

According to [the Puerto Rican newspaper] El Vocero, masks and gloves have been seen floating over bodies of water and reaching the shore. "We see them floating as if they were jellyfish. The problem is that, everywhere one goes, one has to have masks, gloves, etc. Even face shields have been spotted. If they're not picked up, they'll eventually make it to water. If not, they reach the coast through the wind and reach the middle (of...

Tucker Carlson has always been known for his hard-hitting monologues, sometimes stretching 20 minutes into his show. And while some hit closer to home than others, last night’s was so impactful that President Trump himself shared it. It involves an explosive video that was eventually deleted from social media by China, and it exposes perhaps the most dangerous threat America faces. If you watch the above clip, what you’ll see is a Beijing-based professor bragging about China’s ability to settle affairs with the United States in their favor. But it’s his admission that that’s only possible because the CCP has...

A gun-grabbing Santa brought a little boy to tears in Illinois. The boy simply asked the Grinch posing as Jolly St. Nick for a nerf gun for Christmas. This Santa stepped out of his role and decided to make the boy feel bad about his Christmas wish. This was out of a scene from “A Christmas Story,” but even worse. Had this liberal Santa said, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” at least there would have been some chuckles. But, this Scrooge just flat out refused to listen to this kid. He immediately stopped the boy when the Nerf gun...

When we last spoke about Mac's Public House in Staten Island, the owners had declared themselves an "autonomous zone." A snarky way to protest Andrew Cuomo's tyrannical shutdown orders. Since then, one of the co-owners has been arrested. The protests have grown. And the "King of Staten Island," Pete Davidson, appeared on SNL to mock the people protesting. Pete got a scathing response (which we have below), but first, Davidson: Three guesses where he can shove the "Pete Davidson vibrator." People on Staten Island are less than amused. Like John Tobacco, a community activist who knew Davidson's father. The King...
