Jimmie Allen apologized to his wife Friday for an affair with his former manager. The country music star calls it an affair. His former manager, however, is suing Allen for sexual harassment and assault. Allen, 37, took to Twitter in April that he and his wife, 27-year-old Alexis Gale, were getting a divorce, while expecting their third child.

The Florida Supreme Court will consider a legal challenge issued by state Attorney General Ashley Moody that contends a ballot initiative seeking to legalize recreational marijuana violates the state constitution. According to the Florida Courts’ information system, opponents must file their briefs on or before June 12. Following the deadline, the court will subsequently determine whether to conduct oral arguments on the matter. Earlier this month, Moody formally requested a review of a proposed recreational marijuana initiative by the Florida Supreme Court, signaling her intent to challenge its legal adequacy for the 2024 ballot. The political committee sponsoring the initiative,...

(LifeSiteNews) – Lakeridge High School in Oregon recently ran into an interesting problem: boys were ripping tampon dispensers off the walls of their bathrooms and dumping them in the toilet. The school has formally asked the boys to stop destroying the free menstrual products they are being provided with, and gave parents resources on “menstruation, menstrual products, sexuality, and health” in order to help them explain to their children that menstruation is normal for a “person that has a uterus.” Why are there tampon dispensers in the boys’ bathroom to begin with? Oregon’s 2021 “Menstrual Dignity Act” requires all public...

Is Chick-fil-A going woke?

Modeling care for others starts in the restaurant, and we are committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding and dignity everywhere we do business,” McReynolds is quoted as saying on the site. “These tenets are good business practice and crucial to fulfilling our Corporate Purpose.” The establishment makes it known the corporate...

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) on Tuesday became the first House Republican to publicly approve of forcing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) out of his position as speaker over the debt ceiling deal he reached with President Joe Biden. Bishop was the only Republican at a House Freedom Caucus press conference Tuesday to raise his hand to signal that he would support ousting McCarthy over the deal, which conservative Republicans say does not cut enough spending and raises the debt limit too much. "I think it’s got to be done," Bishop said after the press conference, The Hill reported.

Here is Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds just savaging the Debt Ceiling Deal agreed to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden.

Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart is reportedly preparing to resign from the lower chamber in relation to his wife's health complications. His resignation announcement could come as soon as Wednesday morning, according to The Salt Lake Tribune, which cited "multiple sources." Stewart has served in Congress since first winning election in 2012 and represents the state's 2nd congressional district, which encompasses the state's western border and about half of its southern frontier. The district is solidly Republican. Stewart's replacement would be decided via special election.

"And the Russians are dying," Graham appears to comment in a short clip of his interaction with the Ukrainian leader, before seemingly adding: "Best money we've ever spent." ... But as the backlash against Graham escalated, it soon emerged that his comments were misleadingly edited in the short clip, which conflated different comments. A longer version of the conversation, which was released by the Ukrainian government and published by Reuters, among others, shows that the two remarks—framed as part of the same comment—were in fact unrelated. In the first part, Zelensky thanks the United States and allies for their "bipartisan...

A new movie review website takes us to the final frontier of cinema criticism — rating movies on how likely they are to make conservatives madFOR THOSE WORRIED about the so-called “woke mind virus,” it’s tough keeping track of all the stuff you’re supposed to hate and boycott. Naturally, there will always be major figures and brands at top of mind — Let’s go Brandon! Down with Bud Light! — but it’s a big world out there, and you never know what seemingly safe product could turn out to be infected with [whispering] socially progressive values. No industry is more...

Dementia is defined as the loss of cognitive functioning—including thinking, remembering, and reasoning. Currently, the treatment satisfaction for dementia is among the lowest and no drug therapy is available to cure the disease. Cognitive impairment has been linked to the consumption of excess table salt. The involvement of angiotensin II (Ang II)—a hormone that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance—and its receptor "AT1," as well as that of the physiologically important lipid molecule prostaglandin E2 PGE2 and its receptor "EP1" in hypertension and neurotoxicity is well-recognized). To this end, a recent study evaluated the aspects...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed a bill legalizing recreational marijuana on Tuesday, making the North Star state the 23rd in the nation to fully legalize the substance. “We’ve known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasn’t worked,” Walz said in a statement. “By legalizing adult-use cannabis, we’re expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe.”

As temperatures heat up, an Arizona family has a warning for other parents about the dangers of hot surfaces like pavement and concrete. It comes after their son suffered burns to the bottom of his feet.

Eighteen-month-old Mason is walking softly on his feet after they were bandaged. He suffered contact burns from the hot pavement.

A man who lives across the street from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was held without bail Tuesday after prosecutors accused him of beating a woman to death with a baseball bat inside his home and dumping her body in the alley. Arnel Smith, 64, is charged with first-degree murder and concealing a homicidal death. A medical examiner who handled the 41-year-old victim’s case said they had “never seen so many injuries on someone’s body,” Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord said during Smith’s bail hearing.

On Tuesday, members of the House Freedom Caucus held a press conference to express their disapproval of the debt ceiling agreement and urge their fellow Republicans to vote against it. Chip Roy (R-TX 21st District) lambasted the McCarthy spending deal. “Not one Republican should vote for this deal. It is a bad deal. No one sent us here to borrow an additional 4 trillion dollars to get absolutely nothing in return… There will be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill,” he said. Chip Roy on fire: “Not one Republican should vote for this deal. It...

Some lottery winners have described their situation as being at the right place at the right time to receive their fortuitous ticket to wealth. Their windfall immediately changes their lives, making them responsible for managing an amount of money they’d never dreamt of having. People believe money changes a person, but I believe it only accentuates what was already within: The money just makes it easier to exhibit it. The national Black Lives Matter organization got its golden ticket off the corpses of black people and leveraged their unfortunate deaths against the emotional turmoil of a nation for profit.

An exploratory analysis of the LoDoCo2 (Low-Dose Colchicine 2) randomized, controlled, double-blind trial found that daily therapy with a low dose of colchicine was associated with lower incidences of both total knee replacement and total hip replacement surgeries. Osteoarthritis is an increasingly common joint disease that can be associated with low-grade inflammation in response to weight-bearing traumatic injury. Previous studies have demonstrated an association between the use of anti-inflammatory therapies and the slowing of osteoarthritis disease progression. Colchicine is effective in many inflammatory and fibrotic conditions, but it is not currently recommended for treatment of osteoarthritis. Its long-term effects have...
