A woman has left people in stitches after posting a video to show an extremely awkward interaction with a pizza delivery driver because she "didn't know how it worked". There's a few lessons in life that you're never taught, but instead the world just leaves you to it and expects you to pick it up along the way by observing others. One of those is the delicious task of ordering a fresh pizza directly to your door, but it's one that you might want to sit your children down and explain how it works after one customer's mistake went viral....

Incarcerated computer legend John McAfee says he’s stunned by the price of Dogecoin. Speaking from behind bars in a Spanish jail after being banged up on charges of cryptocurrency fraud and tax evasion, the 75-year-old was apparently shocked to hear the crypto hailed by Elon Musk and Snoop Dogg was now changing hands for as much as 30 cents a unit. “There are a few inmates that speak English well enough for John to have conversations with so that has helped him to not feel so isolated,” she said. McAfee hinted earlier this year that it was his involvement with...

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams told his co-hosts on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Five” that people on the right “put out lies” that “cities burned last summer” during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Williams said, “I think the far left of the Democratic Party and all their woke language really alienates a lot of moderate voters not only in the Democratic Party but people who are on the right and you might have been discontented with President Trump, and they hear all this stuff, and they think this is a little too far for their taste.” He continued, “I...

Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told Fox News that he is meeting with members of George Floyd's family on Thursday. State of play: Scott, the lone Black Republican in the Senate, is working with Rep.

Sky News host Alan Jones says putting Joe Biden in the position of "leading the world's democracies" is "elder abuse" and there must be a "presidential resignation" soon. "China is militarising ports across our region. It has invaded Taiwan's airspace. What did the leader of the free world have to say in his first address about any of that? Nothing," Mr Jones said. "And no mention of Israel, with reports in the last 48 hours that former Secretary of State John Kerry, now Biden's Climate Change Tsar, dished details of covert Israeli actions to the Iranians. "And you mean to...

34 million fewer people watched Joe Biden’s speech last night compared to Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address. Ratings show that 11.6 million watched Biden’s speech compared to 45.6 million who watched Trump’s first address to Congress in 2018. The lowest number of Americans who watched a Trump State of the Union throughout his term in office was 37 million. Biden barely managed to beat the viewership for this year’s Oscars (9.8 million), even though that set a new record low for the Academy Awards Biden’s speeches and public appearances have become notorious for their poor ratings and...

About a week or so ago Kamala Harris said "America has a long history of systemic racism." Joe Biden added that "systemic racism" is a "stain on the nation's soul." They're right. Truth is, America is a racist nation and there is no worse racism than liberal progressive democrat racism. We can begin with the current occupant of the Oval Office. Biden once observed that Barack Obama was "clean." Biden didn't want his kids growing up in a "racial jungle." One of Biden's mentors was an Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan. More of Biden's racist history can be...

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of an illegal immigrant who was facing deportation, stating that they are entitled to discretionary relief because the government did not follow the rules. Federal law says that an illegal immigrant in such a situation can avoid deportation at the attorney general's discretion if they have been in the U.S. for at least 10 years. The clock officially stops when they receive "a notice to appear" with information about their hearing. But in cases like plaintiff Agusto Niz-Chavez's, the government sent multiple documents containing different pieces of information. The court's majority ruled...

A majority of Americans support measures favored by President Joe Biden to substantially redistribute U.S. wealth, according to an Ipsos poll for Reuters released on Thursday, including tax hikes on the wealthy and a higher minimum wage. The national opinion poll also found that Republican voters were divided over the "trickle-down economics" championed by their party's leaders since President Ronald Reagan some 40 years ago.

MIAMI — The future of the Republican Party runs through Florida. And the future of the Florida Republican Party runs through Miami. The state long considered the nation’s biggest battleground reported solid red in November. Florida is now home to former President Donald Trump and his children. Out-of-state Republicans are flocking here for fundraisers, retreats and to make appearances at Mar-a-Lago. The state is led by conservative rising star Gov. Ron DeSantis, an early 2024 favorite on the right. ut Florida isn’t just the capital of Trumpism, and its electorate is no monolith. One Republican leader in the state has...

Hunter is the younger of Joe Biden’s two sons. He never showed as much promise as his brother Beau, stumbling through life and often trading on his dad’s name and position for financial gain. He’s more or less operated in the background as something of a black sheep in the family, but he emerged at the forefront of American politics in 2019 over work he did in Ukraine that fueled a bogus conspiracy theory at the heart of Trump’s decision to strong-arm the country’s president. It’s not unusual for the children of successful politicians to trade on their family’s famous...

April 29 (UPI) -- The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that it is proposing a ban on the sale of menthol cigarettes in the United States. The announcement begins a long regulatory process, resulting in menthol cigarettes being available for about two more years even if the ban is eventually adopted. The tobacco industry is expected to challenge the decision. The FDA decision would also ban all flavored cigars. The agency did not include menthol-flavored electronic cigarettes. Menthol is the last allowable flavor for cigarettes. The proposed ban was prompted by a citizen petition that allows the public to...

Capitol Hill axe-throwing venue Blade & Timber announced this week that it now has approval to begin serving alcohol beginning on April 30. This makes Blade & Timber the first axe-throwing venue in Washington permitted to serve alcohol, following two years of petitioning the state Cannabis and Liquor Board. The first time the venue applied, it eventually withdrew “in order to compile data and develop 80-pages of safety documents before reapplying to receive the board’s approval.”

A known DDT dump site off the coast of Southern California is considerably larger than suspected. Finding 2,500 barrels would’ve been a lot. Same for 250 barrels. Heck, even the discovery of 25 barrels at a former DDT dumpsite would’ve been upsetting. But 25,000 barrels? That’s astonishingly large. But such is the result of a recently concluded survey led by the University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. From March 10 to 24, a team of researchers mapped 36,000 acres across a stretch of seafloor between Santa Catalina Island and the Los Angeles coast. This area was previously...
