Ok I recently got rid of my old provider and got Xfinity internet. It comes with a free Flex box for streaming tv shows, so I found Newsmax. The trouble is, after watching for an hour or so it will pop up a window and say... HANG TITE! Your program will resume in a minute... Then it goes back to Newsmax, plays about 30 seconds and does it again! It's maddening! And with the remote they gave me I cannot figure out how to just play me newsmax and don't interrupt Any ideas?

The woman sprang into action as the suds were floating away from a local surf club in the Queensland city of Currumbin.

I've been a loyal Republican for many decades. I've voted for Nixon through Trump (holding my nose for Romney and McCain). Unless the Republican leadership stands up and fights for Trump -- I'm finished. Let's do to the Republican Party what we did to Fox News! Although I have sympathy for libertarian ideas I couldn't join the Libertarian Party due to their stance on drug legalization. So, I'll become one of the much sought after independents.

Fauci’s advice and counsel during the coronavirus pandemic has been “uneven,” to say the least... he’s never been particularly reliable. In 1983, he made a huge splash .. stating that AIDS could be transmissible through casual contact. Fauci repeated the pattern during successive disease panics, such as when he declared 16 years ago that we’re “due” for “massive person-to-person” spread of Avian flu H5N1. .... More recently, Fauci sounded the threat of...

1. President Trump deserves a ticker-tape parade.In days past, the development of miracle vaccines that save the lives of millions would be celebrated by all. There’d be cheering in the streets.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 17, 20202. But because President Trump drove the development of these vaccines in an unbelievably short period of time, and forever improved the method by which vaccines will be developed now and in the future, it’s downplayed. It’s appalling.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 17, 20203. So let me be the first to say: THE PRESIDENT DESERVES A TICKER-TAPE PARADE FOR WHAT HE HAS...

Democrats won the election, but they don’t seem very happy about it. And with reason: The election failed in its main purpose, which was to shut down the Deplorables. The Deplorables, in Hillary Clinton’s infamous term, are working- and middle-class people who haven’t bought into the progressive agenda. They’re people who don’t see the rise of the tech oligarchy as a plus, who don’t think “woke” politics make sense, who have jobs that produce tangible outputs. They’re nearly half the country. This election was supposed to demoralize them, crushing President Trump and his supporters in a double-digit landslide that would...

By the early 600s, Roman and Persian armies had been trading blows for so many centuries that an eternal continuation of their Near East derby must have seemed a certainty. Here a raid into Mesopotamia, there a clash in the Taurus Mountains, border provinces shifting back and forth … countless dynasties had come and gone, world religions risen and fallen, and always there were the Romans and the Persians. It was the way of the cosmos ever since Carrhae. Tribes boiling out of the Arabian desert were about to reorder the firmament. After an exhausting and pointless struggle* stretching back...
