SNIP Grable’s daughter Victoria Colucci recently opened up to Closer Weekly about her late mother and why the actress felt honored to be loved by the troops. “She would just say that she was a dancer who could act,” Colucci said. “But she felt that one of her greatest accomplishments in life was bringing a little happiness to our soldiers.” “She would get letters from soldiers and she’d reply,” she continued. “She was proud to help light up the world when it was so dark.”

Not content with overfishing its own coastline in a non-sustainable way, China has now turned to unethical pirate fishing in the territorial waters of less powerful nations around the world. Chinese fishermen turn off their GPS transponders that can be traced electronically, send out false electronic signals, violate U.N. maritime law, enter the sovereign fishing territory of foreign nations, illegally fish with slave-like labor, and then escape to international waters with their catch. Some fishing fleets are so large that they can be seen from space.For China, world fishing is now like the wild west, with a value in billions...

New York Times economist Paul Krugman appears to have finally admitted defeat on the issue of inflation, adding another notch to his belt of being consistently wrong on economic issues. In a shocking Tweet, Krugman conceded: “I got inflation wrong; I didn't see the current surge coming. But why? I didn't think the fiscal stimulus early this year would boost demand as much as [economist Larry Summers] et al predicted.”

Move aside, Donald Trump. Biden’s own White House Chief of Staff has tweeted something far more damaging to his administration than the former president ever did. In case you missed it, President Biden’s unlawful federal vaccine mandate has been getting hammered in the courts. The Biden administration recently suffered a devastating ruling that held the mandate suffered from “grave statutory and constitutional” defects. In the course of The Fifth District Court of Appeals maintaining its emergency temporary stay of the federal vaccine mandate over the objections of the Biden administration, the court found that the White House’s own chief of...

As Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate gets ripped apart in the courts, his own White House Chief of Staff has retweeted a very damaging message on social media. The courts found that the White House’s own chief of staff had a shady reason for supporting the mandate. This was hidden in a footnote inside the 22-page ruling. White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain retweeted a message that explains why Biden is forcing employees to get vaccinated. “OSHA doing this vaxx mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is an ultimate work-around for the Federal govt to require vaccinations,” Klain...

It was catalogued as an “antique carved wooden bird” when it was auctioned for £75 in 2019. Now it has been identified as Anne Boleyn’s heraldic emblem, the 16th-century royal falcon that probably adorned her private apartments at Hampton Court Palace – only to be removed after Henry VIII ordered her execution and the eradication of all traces of her...The exquisite and richly decorated oak carving is in such extraordinary condition that it even bears its original gilding and colour scheme. In 1536, barely three years after it was made, Boleyn was beheaded on bogus adultery charges – just because...

A 30-year-old man was shot and killed in front of his children as they walked home from a family gathering. “James was an amazing guy,” said his brother Billy Vargas as he began to weep. “All I keep hearing in my head is my mom — ‘Take (care of) your brother he’ll always be by your side.” James Vargas was walking to get tacos with his wife and two children early Sunday morning when a man approached the father and shot him. The murder took place in South Los Angeles on the corner of Central Avenue and 92nd Street. Witnesses...

As the data continues to come in regarding the experimental COVID-19 shots, it is abundantly clear now that pretty much EVERYTHING the FDA and the CDC have told the public about these shots is a LIE!Dr. Gérard Delépine from France, whom we have featured often here at Health Impact News over the years, has just published a study based on public data from the countries with the highest vaccination rates that clearly shows that the COVID-19 shots are hospitalizing people and killing people at higher rates than countries who have adopted early treatment protocols without the use of vaccines.This is...

The spike in crime following some progressive reforms including no bail release of suspected felons, early release from prison for violent offenders, and reduced budgets for hiring police officers, has spurred enlightened thinkers to seek an alternate approach. In Los Angeles, that approach is a new advisory urging victims to "cooperate and comply" with those assaulting and robbing them. LAPD Chief Michael Moore explained that "money that could've paid for increased police patrols in dangerous areas has been diverted to the city's new experimental guaranteed minimum income program. So there's very little we can do to protect the innocent from...

This includes the roughly 600,000 unaccompanied minors and persons in family units stopped at the border in FY2021 and released into the country pending a hearing. Cash welfare to illegal...

In today’s climate of social justice hysteria, you probably have many questions about the best way “to show the world you’re a good person.” How do you know which pronouns you should use or which you should avoid like the plague? How can you find your identity within your feelings while making amends for being white? Why can you choose your gender but not your race? In other words, “you need to get WOKE.” Thankfully, the editors from the satirical site The Babylon Bee have tackled these questions and more. The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness expertly and hilariously explains...

Williamson County school board cut the live feed of this Dad over him reading a book that’s in Williamson County schools because one of them said it wasn’t appropriate for TV but somehow it’s been okay for kids to have at 5 WillCo schools? Insanity. In 2022 we replace tyrants!

With Thanksgiving just a little over a week away (where did this year go?) it’s time to start thinking about what foods will be gracing your dinner table (if you haven’t done so already!). On the dessert front, pumpkin, pecan, and apple pie are enduring staples, but Reese’s is making the case for peanut butter and chocolate. The makers of the iconic peanut butter cup have supersized their OG creation into a 3.4-pound “pie” of solid peanut butter and chocolate. Naming it the Reese’s Thanksgiving Pie, this is the largest Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ever made for sale and it’s...

People expect to spend more on holiday travel, celebrations and 'big ticket experiences,' such as concerts or sporting events, a MassMutual survey found.
