    When I first heard the story of the woman attacked by a snake that fell from the sky and then saved by a hawk after calling out, “Jesus, help me,” I thought that it was an urban myth. Every detail seemed too clever to be real. And yet that’s exactly what happened just the other day to a woman in Texas. Peggy Jones, of Silsbee, Texas, was sitting on her tractor mower in the garden of her house when a snake suddenly dropped from the sky, wrapped itself around her arm, and began to strike at her face. Not only...

    Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was reportedly hospitalized after taking a fall Tuesday in San Francisco. Her condition is not known, but she subsequently returned home by Tuesday evening, TMZ reported. Feinstein, 90, was hospitalized earlier this year after a bout with the shingles and was absent from the Senate for about three months before returning in May. She is the oldest lawmaker in either chamber of Congress. At times she has appeared confused during Senate procedures, drawing scrutiny from observers. Feinstein has decided not to vie for reelection in the upper chamber and her term is set to end at...

    The 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his teacher with his mother’s gun later bragged about it to a school employee – shockingly claiming, “I shot that bitch dead,” according to newly unsealed search warrants. After the first-grader shot Abigail Zwerner at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News on Jan. 6, reading specialist Amy Kovac held the boy until cops arrived, according to the documents obtained by WTKR. “I did it … I shot that bitch dead,” the pint-sized pistol packer bragged, the docs show. “I got my mom’s gun last night.” The unsealed records of Zwerner’s statement to...
  • Woman fired after company uses keystroke technology to monitor her work from home

    A major insurance company used keystroke technology on an employee’s work laptop to test whether she was working her designated hours — and it ended terribly for her. The Fair Work Commission (FWC) has rejected an unfair dismissal application brought by former Insurance Australia Group (IAG) consultant Suzie Cheikho, finding she was fired for a “valid reason of misconduct.” According to the commission’s published finding, Cheikho was responsible for creating insurance documents, meeting regulatory timelines, and monitoring “work from home compliance,” among other significant roles. Ironically, her own work-from-home performance marked the end of her 18-year career with the company....

    WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee released bank records Wednesday clarifying long-disputed details of first son Hunter Biden’s business relationships in Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine — bringing the total documented income from foreign sources to the Biden family and their associates to $20 million, the panel said. Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Hunter Biden appeared to deliver the Russian, Kazakhstani and Ukrainian businesspeople access to his father — noting that each of the post-Soviet associates allegedly attended at least one of two dinners at Washington’s Café Milano with then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son. “During Joe Biden’s vice...

    If you once served as Vice President of the United States, polling below 5% in your own party's presidential primary can trigger a stream of unbridled bitterness.Case in point: Mike Pence, who, in a Real Clear Politics poll published through August 2, 2023, polled at 4.8 percent among Republican voters, trailing the previously-unknown Vivek Ramaswamy, who had 5.2 percent.Like a freezing cold bucket of reality splashed onto Pence’s face, losing to a 37-year-old entrepreneur who, six months ago, nobody ever heard of, has apparently unleashed the floodgates of animosity harbored deep within. Embittered by his demise, Pence now fumes against...

    Wednesday, during an appearance on CNN, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declared that Bidenomics was working. The Biden spokeswoman claimed inflation and wages were going in the right direction, therefore the economic policy was having some success. “We know the polls show that people are pretty sour — at least half of the American people are sour on the economy,” CNN host Victor Blackwell said. “Isn’t that just dangerous getting closer to the election if things take a downturn? I mean, as the CBO predicts, unemployment will get closer to 4.7% by Election Day. That you’ve got a narrative...

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell for "dereliction of duty" on crime via an executive order on Wednesday. DeSantis' office says that Worrell has routinely allowed murderers and other violent offenders to "escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct." The governor is tapping Florida judge Andrew Bain to replace Worrell as the state attorney for the 9th judicial circuit. "The practices and policies of her office have allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct. In some cases,...
