A woman is going viral after revealed that her “considerably overweight” husband bought her a pricey gym membership for Christmas — after sharing rude comments about her weight. “This Christmas, my husband gifted me a very expensive gym membership for 12 months. I am very fit and active, but simply have no time to go to the gym and my husband knows this,” the woman wrote on the now-viral “Am I Being Unreasonable?” thread of the popular “mommy blog” Mumsnet. “Despite being considerably overweight himself, my husband has been making pointed comments about my weight for some time (I have...

The highest number of fatalities is in New York state, where 17 people have died in the wake of a massive snowstorm, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. In the middle of this wintery devastation, certain individuals decided this was an opportunity to destroy local businesses by looting them. At approximately 1730 EST, reports began to emerge in local media of looting incidents in Buffalo, NY, where residents are becoming desperate after three days of intense snowfall and cold temperatures. New...

Long Island Rep.-elect George Santos came clean to The Post on Monday, admitting that he lied on the campaign trail about his education and work experience — but insisting that the controversy won’t deter him from serving out his two-year term in Congress. “I am not a criminal,” Santos said at one point during his exclusive interview. “This [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.” Santos’s professional biography was called into question earlier this month after the New York Times reported that he misrepresented a number of claims, including...

The Biden administration on Monday released a plan to counter homelessness that calls for teaching emergency shelters how to provide "gender-affirming" services to homeless people, and promoting "gender-affirming care" as an inclusive element of caring for homeless people. "The key components to effective emergency shelter include culturally appropriate, gender-affirming, and specific, low-barrier access and housing-focused services aimed at rapid exits back to permanent housing," according to the plan released by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. The plan calls on federal agencies to work with cities to provide "guidance, training, and technical assistance" on "inclusive models" such as "gender-affirming care"...

The holidays are often a time of indulgence and guests at Disneyland that scoff at the $185 price tag for a tiny shot of booze may be shocked to learn they’re getting a real steal. Disneyland’s The Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has an annual holiday cart that offers spirit-infused drinks that carry a festive theme, according to SFGate. This year’s dessert shot is a “waffle shot”- a wafer-lined treat priced at $185 when combined with Remy Martin Louis XIII Grande Champagne Cognac. While this may seem to be an exorbitant price tag, guests can rest assured knowing this price...

Australian police in the state of Queensland, out of concern for the spread of COVID, have requested that citizens report on people they know have taken a stance against COVID-19 vaccines, as well as report on those with extremist views. “If it’s anybody out there that knows of someone who might be showing concerning behavior around conspiracy theories, anti-government, anti-police … conspiracy theories around COVID-19 vaccinations … we’d wanna know about that, and you can either contact police directly or go through constables,” Queensland Police Deputy Commissioner Tracy Linford said in a video shared by political commentator Rukshan Fernando in...

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mike Lee (Utah) slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and their GOP colleagues on Sunday for supporting the $1.7 trillion omnibus package that Congress sent to President Biden’s desk on Friday. The GOP senators had argued it would have been better to wait for the GOP to take control of the House in January to pass an omnibus bill, arguing this would have given Republicans more leverage. Lee denounced the omnibus as “the ugliest spending bill on record,” taking aim at McConnell and the party’s Senate leadership in an interview with radio talk...

Revelations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s involvement in social media censorship have raised voter concerns. A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and Miranda Devine’s Laptop From Hell finds that 63% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Congress should investigate whether the FBI was involved in censoring information on social media sites. Only 22% oppose such an investigation, while 15% are undecided ... Twitter has released files showing the FBI’s communications with the popular social media platform. Last week, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who is set to take over as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,...

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch obtained evidence that a computer contractor working under the direction of Hillary Clinton’s legal team destroyed subpoenaed records that the former secretary of state stored on a private email server she originally kept at her New York home, and then lied to investigators about it. Yet no charges were brought against Clinton, her lawyers, or her paid consultant. The leniency accorded to Clinton contrasts with recent moves by Attorney General Merrick Garland to aggressively investigate former President Trump and his lawyers for allegedly obstructing investigators’ efforts to locate subpoenaed records at his Florida home. Legal...

VIDEO Soon after Miguel Almaguer delivered his November 4 NBC News report about the arrival of police at the home of Paul Pelosi during his encounter with David DePape, his story was scrubbed from the NBC News website and Almaguer himself was suspended. Many have wondered what happened to Almaguer since then but he has emerged from his suspension in December to report on several weather stories. Those weather stories seem to be a metaphor for what has happened to Almaguer since there is so much snow in his reports that he appears to have been exiled to Siberia.We can...

As Tucker Carlson frequently says, because of the establishment’s response to COVID in 2020, the America we knew has been irrevocably changed, and not for the better. All of us can remember what led to that change: News out of China that hospitals were overrun and people dying in the streets because of a strange infection. The West’s response was to turn itself into a series of prison nations—a decision that, in America, meant that a hugely successful president was driven from office. This December, the reports coming out from China—and the experts’ assessments—are eerily similar to what we heard...

This is an article to show your haughty, “know-it-all” brother-in-law who thinks our government is somehow squeaky clean. https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1606701397109796866? The “Twitter Files” have now officially had more sequels than Planet of the Apes and can be difficult to absorb. Thus, I don’t think they’re getting the attention they deserve. For those of you not following the “Twitter Files” drops, let me catch you up on what I believe are some of the most important parts: The FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million to censor conservatives. The FBI pressured Twitter to give them information that would legally require warrants, though they did...

"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." John, Chapter...

A strong majority of voters say Congress should investigate whether the FBI was involved with censoring information posted on social media, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey. A total of 63% of likely U.S. voters say they support a congressional probe of the FBI, with only 22% opposing such an investigation, Rasmussen Reports said Monday; 15% say they are undecided. Internal findings at Twitter released by billionaire Elon Musk show that the intelligence community, including the FBI, were in "constant" contact with the Big Tech giant to censor posts.

Governor Kathy Hochul today provided an update to the ongoing response to the historic winter storm which brought blizzard conditions over the course of the weekend to many parts of Western New York, the Finger Lakes and the North Country regions.

That might seem like a strange title, but I titled it that because a lot of people think that it's wrong to look for healing from God. They actually think you are using God in a way that you shouldn't be and will try to condemn you for it. But, my thing is this if God has no problem with it and we definitely see Jesus had no problem with it so why do you have a problem with it. Is there another people can go to. As a matter of fact God said, I am The Lord that healeth...

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda recently caused the climate lobby to blow a fuse by speaking a truth about battery electric vehicles that his fellow auto executives dare not. “Just like the fully autonomous cars that we were all supposed to be driving by now,” Mr. Toyoda said in Thailand, “I think BEVs are just going to take longer to become mainstream than the media would like us to believe.” He added that a “silent majority” in the auto industry share his view, “but they think it’s the trend, so they can’t speak out loudly.” The Biden administration seems to believe...
