A man who calls himself a “trophy husband” has revealed that not only does he have three wives, but he doesn’t work! Comparing his role in the polyamorous family to that on a chessboard, dad-of-two Nick Davis says he doesn’t have a job because “the King doesn’t move around much” while the Queens have all the power. Meanwhile, his three wives – April, Danielle and Jennifer – all have full-time professions.

WASHINGTON, DC — Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center in the nation's capital to seek treatment for clinical depression after coming to the realization that he was a member of the United States Congress. "It just suddenly dawned on him," said a member of Fatterman's staff under the condition of anonymity. "This entire time, ever since winning the election in November, he thought he was on some type of fun fantasy trip. Once he realized he was now just another slimy politician, he got kinda bummed out." Already struggling with the continuing effects of a...

Top 10 most in-demand jobs in New Zealand include chefs and store managers With rising costs interest rates, inflation and the Russian-Ukraine war, a recession is very possible in 2023. And while no industry is fully “recession-proof,” some will survive better than others, according to Matt Cowgill, senior economist at employment marketplace Seek. “The Reserve Bank is forecasting that the unemployment rate will rise quite sharply in 2023. If that happens, more employers will let staff go, and jobs will be harder to find for those out of work.” The bank is forecasting a recession this year, stretching into 2024....

The Big Three networks ignored news that the Biden administration denied disaster assistance to Ohio’s pro-Trump Columbiana County following the toxic train derailment in East Palestine. Fox News reported Feb. 16 that Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) spokesperson Dan Tierney said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied federal aid because it “believed the [train derailment] incident didn't qualify as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance.” The incident led to a controlled explosion and the spewing of hazardous fumes into the atmosphere, with reports of groundwater damage, dead animals and health issues...

The layoffs sweeping corporate America are now claiming one of their main casualties — the bloated and counterproductive sector of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) professionals, new research shows. As the tech industry laid off tens of thousands of workers last summer, DEI teams shed about a third of their staff, according to data compiled by Revelio Labs. Other departments were only losing a fifth at the same time. Axing 'diversity' professionals extends beyond the tech sector. Retail giant Target led the way, losing 20 DEI staffers in 2022, researchers said. Capital One, Amazon, Applebee's, and Wells Fargo rounded out...

For years, artificial intelligence has proven it can best humans at analytical tasks, but is less capable at skills like intuition and inference. Scientists from Stanford University investigated if neural networks like GPT-3.5 can master Theory of Mind (ToM) tests designed to analyze cognitive ability to predict the actions of others. Results show that GPT’s ToM ability arrived spontaneously in the last couple of years and the latest iteration delivered results comparable to a 9-year-old human.

For Tammy Rainey, finding a health care provider who knows about gender-affirming care has been a challenge in the rural northern Mississippi town where she lives. As a transgender woman, Rainey needs the hormone estrogen, which allows her to physically transition by developing more feminine features. But when she asked her doctor for an estrogen prescription, he said he couldn’t provide that type of care. “He’s generally a good guy and doesn’t act prejudiced. He gets my name and pronouns right,” said Rainey. “But when I asked him about hormones, he said, ‘I just don’t feel like I know enough...

Managing director calls decision 'disgusting,' claims he will appealAn unvaccinated worker was found to have been unjustifiably dismissed and was recently awarded $25,000. But one of the company’s managers called the decision by the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) “disgusting” and said he will appeal, according to the New Zealand Herald. The case involved an unvaccinated worker, Paul Larsen, who worked as an installer for Coldrite Refrigeration and Air Conditioning in Hastings. And when the pandemic hit, problems arose. Work became scarce for unvaccinated staff in early 2022, and more clients began requesting vaccinated workers for safety reasons. Ultimately, just two...

Polling data reveals interesting things about U.S. public opinion and the death penalty. If you ask an open-ended question about the death penalty –- for example, “Do you feel the death penalty is appropriate for certain egregious crimes?” –- then you usually see somewhere around a 65 to 35 percent split in favor. On the other hand, if you ask which is preferred – the death penalty or life in prison without parole, the results tend to be closer to 50-50. Upon occasion, another question is asked: Do you feel an innocent person has been put to death in the...

Our nation is facing multiple major crises. President Joe Biden’s leadership has been a series of unmitigated disasters and failures. Each follows right on the heels of the other, with seemingly no let up. Right here at home, Americans bear the burden of the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats' reckless spending. This fuels inflation which has hit 40 year highs. But what does this really mean? The average American is paying much more for gas and groceries. Crime is skyrocketing in our cities: from San Francisco to New York. Violent crime is spiking in those cities, and others, causing many...

Two years ago today, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh went on the air to announce that America's Anchorman, the Mayor of Realville, the Doctor of Democracy, the harmless little fuzzball, her husband, the great Rush Hudson Limbaugh III, had assumed room temperature. (That means he died, for those of you in Rio Linda.) America is worse off for his absence. Nobody will ever amass the audience, have the influence, or have as much fun doing it as Rush did. There is no one like him, though many try.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Patrick Kennedy was in Congress, he would sneak in his treatments for substance abuse over the holidays, in between congressional work periods. And he refused mental health treatment recommended by his doctors, worried he would be recognized in that wing of the hospital. On Thursday, the office of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat who was elected to the Senate after a bruising campaign during which he suffered a stroke, announced he had checked himself into the hospital for clinical depression. The U.S. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, tweeted praise for Fetterman, saying he hopes his “courage...

"Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry." "Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. "Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I...

The head of the US Environmental Protection Agency has said he would allow his own children to drink and bathe in public water near the site of a train derailment and chemical spill in Ohio, so long as it had been tested and deemed safe by officials. EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited the site of the East Palestine derailment on Thursday, seeking to reassure skeptical residents that the water is fit for drinking and the air is safe to breathe. Asked if he would allow his own children to drink the water, Regan said, as long as it has been...
