Outraged motorists are sticking it to Joe Biden at the gas pumps. Decals of a finger-pointing President Biden, with the words “I did that!” in big, bold print, have been appearing on fuel pumps across the country — including New York City — as gasoline prices skyrocket. “I just know everything he’s been doing since he took office has been going downhill. Bring Trump back,” said Harold Frost, 29, of the Upper West Side. “My car has been parked the whole week because of this. I took the train, but it’s dangerous now on the train.

Have you seen that viral clip of Donald Trump talking to a few podcasters about the future of Ukraine and somehow going off on a tangent about windmills? If you wanted to check out the whole video interview on YouTube, you can't. The Full Send Podcast's full video interview of former president Trump has been removed from YouTube for violating the platform's community guidelines on misinformation. While the interview touched upon a wide range of topics, it seems that Trump's continued lies about the 2020 presidential election resulted in the takedown of the video. "We removed this video for violating...

Nearly two decades ago, Vladimir Putin made his intentions plain when he mused that “the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the 20th century. In the years since, a staggering number of Russians have come to agree with him, particularly those who are too young to have any real living memory of life in the USSR. They should have been more careful about what they wished for. Moscow’s campaign to reconstitute the Soviet empire in Europe has delivered Russia into a state of repression and economic malaise unseen since the hammer and sickle flew over...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, exuberant over the end of the 99-day lockout, said that not only will it be great to see the “boys of summer” again, but he also hopes next year to see the “boys and girls of summer” playing Major League Baseball. “I’m so glad that the boys of summer are coming back,” Adams told reporters on Friday. “I hope in the next year we start seeing the boys and the girls of summer. It’s time to allow women to play professional baseball as well.” As the New York Post reports: While baseball has no...

The screens...use a system of motion sensors and cameras to display what's inside the doors — as well as product information, prices, deals and, most appealing to brands, paid advertisements. The tech provides stores with an additional revenue stream and a way to modernize ["modernize"?] the shopping experience. The company wants to engage more people with advertising, but the reaction, so far, is annoyance and confusion. "Who on God's green earth thought this was a good idea?" "The digital cooler screens at Walgreens made me watch an ad before it allowed me to know which door held the frozen pizzas,"...

Any chef will tell you that you're only as good as your best kitchen knives despite your culinary skills. On top of that, if you have a top-of-the-line knife set, they'll quickly become useless if you don't maintain them and keep them sharp. It's kind of like a carpenter trying to frame a home with plastic nails or a hunter trying to take down a buck with a slingshot. Even if you don't step foot in a kitchen but use knives for other things like work or outdoor survival, you need to keep them sharp. The bottom line is dull...

The West could have further exploited Ukraine and teased Russia but it simply overplayed its hand. Precisely as described in this fable where a goose laying golden eggs is killed by the greedy owners. The moral? Much wants more and loses all.

The West really thought it was ready to make a killing. Western elites really thought Russia would withdraw from its positions further and...
