GOP presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) suggested on Wednesday that Disney could move to her home state, after the company sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for allegedly harming its business operations. “Hey @Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida,” Haley tweeted. “We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!” “SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either,” she added in an apparent reference to former President Trump’s “DeSanctimonious” nickname for the Florida governor.

President Biden turned heads Wednesday by declaring “I’m not concerned about China” during a rare White House news conference — drawing quick condemnation from Republican critics. Biden made the remark when asked about US efforts to spur domestic manufacturing with last year’s $280 billion bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which was passed to counter growing Chinese dominance of the semiconductor sector. “My desire to increase US manufacturing and jobs in America is not about China,” Biden said at a Rose Garden press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. “I’m not concerned about China.”

The case dates back to May 26, 1990, when someone dressed as a clown handed Marlene Warren, 40, carnations and balloons — including one that stated “You’re the Greatest” — before shooting her in the face in front of her 21-year-old son. She died two days later. “Killer clown” Sheila Keen Warren, 59, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a Florida courtroom Tuesday, despite...

SNIP As I self-consciously perused the room, stopping to talk to people here and there, I eventually joined a conversation with four very attractive women. All were complaining about their love lives. One, who looked like she had come straight from a Victoria’s Secret shoot, was complaining that her man still won’t commit, despite being together for eight months. Another was complaining about her live-in lover who was still insisting they “don’t put a title on it”. Yep, they literally live together, but aren’t exclusive. SNIP “Tinder has found that women on the app are empowering themselves by asking for...

The Swedish activist has a new message: Don’t just listen to the science, listen to the most vulnerable.Just a few months before the arrival of the coronavirus, the Swedish teenager and her fellow activists had organized a march of millions — possibly the largest climate protest in history. But lockdowns put an end to the boisterous Fridays For Future school strikes, which Thunberg had pioneered and spread around the world. With entire countries in isolation, Thunberg’s movement was “paralyzed,” recalled Dominika Lasota, one of the group’s most prominent figures in Poland. The pandemic wasn’t just a body blow for an...

A Democrat lawmaker from Arizona was caught on video swiping Bibles from a state House lounge, after which she apparently hid them. Say what? KTVK-TV reported that the security team at the Arizona Capitol placed a camera in the House’s members-only lounge to get to the bottom of how Bibles were vanishing. Sure enough, they weren't just disappearing into the ether. Resulting video shows Democrat state Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton pilfering two Bibles in just minutes, KTVK said. The act didn't sit well with Republican Speaker Pro Tempore Travis Grantham, the station said. “When I’m watching that, I’m thinking, ‘Well,...

Maybe this is why Kamala Harris didn’t have any lines in President Biden’s re-election announcement video. The vice president left commentators befuddled late Tuesday by repeating herself multiple times at a pro-abortion rally in Washington. “So, I think it’s very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time — and certainly this one — to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only...

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was accused of spewing “blatant lies” on Tuesday after she alleged House Republicans are “fighting to put fentanyl on the street.” The Biden administration spokeswoman made the head-scratching remark during the White House press briefing as she commented on the spending cuts in the GOP’s debt ceiling proposal, which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unveiled last week. “It’s clear that the speaker’s bill breaks House Republicans’ commitment to America,” Jean-Pierre claimed. “In the run-up to the 2022 election, House Republicans promised to put cops on the beat. Instead, they are fighting to put fentanyl...

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were married 21 years ago. Since then, she has admitted to cheating with 10 different men. Each time, I stayed with her, hoping she’d change. I finally left 3 1/2 years ago because I couldn’t take it anymore. She became homeless, but for the past year and a half she has been living with my daughter and me because I saw her on the street one day and she looked terrible. We are now moving, and my daughter wants her mother to get a job (she’s capable of getting one). My ex refused to...

Donald Trump’s campaign has called out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a new TV ad for “attacking” the former Republican president and one-time ally — and suggested the governor should drop out of the race before he even gets in. “Ron DeSantis was struggling big time in his primary race for governor of Florida,” says the ad’s narrator, referring to the 44-year-old’s first gubernatorial run in 2018. “Polls revealed DeSantis was failing so bad, he was losing by a staggering 17 points,” the narrator adds. “Then DeSantis was saved by the endorsement of President Trump. “Trump’s support was so powerful,...

"...While the banks might be fine, some cash-strapped and credit-abusing consumers clearly are not. The idea that JPM is building reserves to cushion themselves against bad loans amid rapidly increasing charge-offs tells you all you need to know. Similar story at Bank of America (BAC), who also increased reserves. Across the nation’s four biggest banks, consumer loan charge-offs increased 73% in Q1, as they wrote off $3.4 billion in bad debt during the first three months of the year. "
