NATIONAL CURRIED CHICKEN DAY Each year on January 12th, curried chicken lovers enthusiastically celebrate National Curried Chicken Day. They fill their dishes with a variety of flavorful spices and serve them to their friends and family. #CurriedChickenDay When making a true curried chicken, don’t reach for the curry powder. Instead, stew the chicken in a sauce made from clarified butter (known as ghee) onions, garlic, and a medley of spices such as cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric. Other ingredients include chilies and tomatoes. “Curries came into favor as an excellent way of using up cold meat.” Lizzie Collingham Curry:...

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.1 percent in December on a seasonally adjusted basis, after increasing 0.1 percent in November, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.

In late 2022, Jessica found herself in a predicament that will sound familiar to many job seekers: slogging through an extended interview process with seemingly no end in sight. She was up for a job as a fundraiser at a major social services organization in New York. Across the span of two months, she took part in six separate interviews with nine people total, multiple of whom she met more than once. She’d pulled one of her first all-nighters in years putting together a dummy presentation on a hypothetical corporate partnership for interview No. 4, which entailed what she describes...

There’s an apparent trend that’s forming across America, and for once it’s not a negative one. More Americans are rapidly waking up to the reality that the Covid-19 jabs “may” be ineffective and unsafe. For those who regularly read our stories or hear my shows, you’ve likely been aware of these facts for a long time. But now the “normies” are waking up in droves which is prompting responses from organizations that had previously been firm and confident in their pro-vaxx stances.

A former minister at a New Jersey evangelical church has pleaded guilty to multiple sex abuse crimes, admitting that he blackmailed teenage boys into performing explicit sex acts via webcam. During a hearing last week at Burlington County Superior Court in Mount Holly, New Jersey, Sean Higgins, 32, of Palmyra, pleaded guilty to four counts of Endangering the Welfare of Children. In exchange for the plea, Higgins is expected to serve 27 years in a New Jersey state prison. Higgins’ sentencing is scheduled for March 3. According to a grand jury indictment last August, prosecutors say Higgins victimized at least...

(Reuters) - Vanguard Group's decision last month to quit a key climate change coalition underscores how the retail investors who dominate its client base focus less on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) priorities than institutional investors. Vanguard said last month it would drop out of the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative, whose members commit to making their investment portfolios emission-neutral by 2050. It said 80% of its close to $8 trillion in assets are in its index funds, which primarily attract retail investors. These funds generally do not have discretion to include or exclude stocks beyond a pre-set...

House Republicans intend to release 14,000 hours of January 6 tapes that have been hidden from the public, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) revealed on Tuesday. During an interview with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) president Charlie Kirk on his radio show, Gaetz said that releasing the tapes “would give more full context to that day rather than the cherry-picked moments of the January 6th committee.” The Capitol building is monitored round-the-clock by an “extensive system of cameras” positioned both inside and outside the building as well as near other congressional offices on the grounds. The tapes could shed light on what...

Senior Democratic lawmakers took to Twitter shortly after the House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires doctors to provide care for infants born alive after a failed abortion, to criticize the Republicans who supported the "extreme" bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who responded. "Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence, [House Republicans] chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda," Pelosi tweeted Wednesday.... ..The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act says any infant born alive following an abortion attempt or...

Karma, Nemesis, payback . . . and all that stuff. The Left has gone mad over Donald J. Trump—past, present, and future. The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump “conservatives” assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails. Accordingly, they believe that any means necessary are justified to stop him. And furthermore, these zealots, when out of power, insist such extraordinary measures should not be emulated and institutionalized by their opponents, much less ever boomeranged back upon their creators. In this context, the Republicans retaking control of the...

President Joe Biden’s embarrassment over classified documents found in his former offices is spiraling into a major political crisis that threatens to undermine the case for Donald Trump to be charged for his own hoarding of secret material. The revelation that another set of secret documents dating from Biden’s time as vice president were found at a second location immediately fueled Republican claims that the ex-president is being treated unfairly as he is investigated by a special counsel over classified information found at Mar-a-Lago.... ...Biden’s own sharp criticisms of Trump’s handling of secret intelligence are now coming back to haunt...

Emergency patients across the country are forced to endure the longest average waiting times in recorded history - with ambulances sent to people suffering conditions like heart attacks and strokes taking more than an hour and a half. Average ambulance response times in England last month were the longest on record - as more than half of people at major A&Es had to wait longer than four hours for the first time since records began in 2011. The latest NHS England figures also showed a total of 50.4% of patients attending major A&E departments were not seen within the target...

If a Republican announced a run for the U.S. Senate but was recently in the news for treating their employees horribly, what would be the chance of Politico skipping any mention of that scandal in stories about their Senate bid? Perhaps somewhere between nil and none.However, with the magic "D" by the name of such a candidate, there is a very good chance Politico would go mum on the scandal; which is exactly what happened when that political periodical published consecutive stories of Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) first pondering and then announcing that she would be running in 2024 for...

The schoolhouse of twenty years ago is not today’s schoolhouse. I have taught high school English in the public schools for twenty years in three states, including two red states and a deep blue state. I have taught mainstream English, honors English, and remedial English. I’ve worked in alternative schools, high-poverty schools, large high schools serving mostly English learners, and predominantly white, middle-class schools. Last month I let my teaching license expire. For the first time since 1998, I am no longer qualified to be a teacher in my home state of Kansas. When I consider the public education landscape...

Angry trans-rights protestors swarmed and shut down a talk at McGill University from an alumnus who was discussing how the trans movement infringes on the rights of women. Demonstrators packed the hallway outside a classroom hosting the talk from Robert Wintemute - a professor of human rights law specializing in sexual orientation at Kings College - who they accused of being associated with a 'notoriously transphobic and trans-exclusionary' group. The talk was eventually cancelled. Wintemute was discussing how he feels women's rights are infringed upon when don't speak up for themselves out of fear of intimidation from trans activists. He...
