It’s butter stupidity! Costco was forced to recall nearly 80,000 pounds of butter because the label failed to mention that the kitchen staple contains milk — and many social media users are rolling their eyes at the dairy dilemma. The FDA sent out an initial recall for 79,200 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter due to the undeclared allergen in October. Packages for both the salted and unsalted Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter list cream as an ingredient, but do not include an allergy warning that the butter “Contains Milk.” The bizarre recall has left many internet users scratching their heads....

Mattel may be safe from the Wicked Witch of the West, but it has had to issue a mea culpa to avoid the wrath of angry parents. The toy company said the web address for a pornography company was mistakenly printed on the packaging for dolls tied to the new film “Wicked” instead of the official website for the upcoming Universal Pictures release. Social-media users pointed out the mistake, noting that the URL directs to an adult-content website. The film’s website is wickedmovie.com. The URL on the box omits the word “movie.” “We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are...

So whatever happened to the 'dark' picture of a "dangerous" boogeyman the left tried to scares us of? It is why most Americans never bought them as ever being sincere. So much for falsehood. Now to truth: Meantime, America first is marching forward : Tom Homan and Stephen iller on immigration / broken border. Lee Zeldin alleviating business hit by radical woke.

October 2024 was both the second-warmest and second-driest October ever recorded in the U.S., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The 48 contiguous U.S. states saw an average temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit in October, 4.9 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, according to NOAA. Only one previous October, 1963, was hotter in the 130 years of NOAA’s records. Multiple states experienced their outright warmest October on record, including Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Utah, while California, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming all saw their second warmest. The month was among the 10 warmest Octobers for a...

How many people still wear masks out in public.

Explanation: What created an unusual dark streak in Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas's tail? Some images of the bright comet during mid-October not only caught its impressively long tail and its thin anti-tail, but a rather unexpected feature: a dark streak in the long tail. The reason for the dark streak is currently unclear and a topic of some debate. Possible reasons include a plume of dark dust, different parts of the bright tail being unusually superposed, and a shadow of a dense part of the coma on smaller dust particles. The streak is visible in the featured image taken on October 14...

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, The Post can exclusively report. Zeldin, 44, served four terms as a Republican congressman repping Long Island before losing the 2022 New York governor’s race to Kathy Hochul by a surprisingly close margin. “I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet. As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash...

LEBANON, Tenn. (WSMV) - It’s the first thing you notice in watching the body camera footage of when Wilson County deputies approach Xavier Gray’s car. As the first deputy arrives, Gray’s hands are in the air. “First of all, I’m scared of the police,” Gray told WSMV4 Investigates. Admitting he was intimidated and afraid of losing his license, the body camera footage shows him readily agreeing to a field sobriety test. According to the arrest affidavit, Gray had crossed the center line. A deputy wrote that Gray’s eyes were red and was slow to respond to questions. The affidavit reads...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - In the wake of boisterous demonstrations by pro-Trump students, Beverly Hills High School has limited students' ability to assemble in large groups, it was reported Friday. The high school's principal, Drew Stewart, sent a message to families announcing that the school would not restrict students' individual exercise of their free speech rights, but would limit their ability to congregate in large groups so that all students would feel safe on campus, the Los Angeles Times reported. The message came before a TikTok video went viral showing many students in a Beverly Hills High School courtyard rowdily...

As rainfall continues, river and urban flooding risks increase, along with storm intensity by the middle of the week. Coastal flooding is also in the cards, as is heavy snow in the mountains.

Failed presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris (D) is reportedly still asking donors for cash for several reasons as her campaign still wallows in debt. The Daily Caller reported on Monday that her campaign is sending out fundraising messages even after she and her radical leftist running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), lost to President-elect Donald Trump (R) and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), on Tuesday. The Caller’s article said Harris’s most recent message was sent to supporters on Sunday, per emails the outlet obtained.

"She's always wanted the spotlight in some manner … she always wanted attention, and she always tried to manipulate people, and I don't think she's going to change," David Smith told FOX Carolina, adding that he still misses his two boys. "I wish I could've stopped it. KILLER MOM SUSAN SMITH DISCIPLINED BEHIND BARS WEEKS BEFORE PAROLE HEARING Susan was 22 when she strapped Michael and Alexander into the back seat of her car and watched as she let the vehicle roll into John D. Lake in Union County. It took six minutes for the two boys to drown. She...

President-elect Donald Trump's recently announced pick for "border czar," Tom Homan, has an "extreme and ineffective" track record, according to the former homeland security adviser to Mike Pence. Trump wrote on Truth Social late Sunday that he was "pleased to announce" that Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director, "will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation's Borders." Trump said Homan "will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin," in addition to overseeing the northern and southern borders and "all Maritime, and Aviation Security." On...

Posted in response to the thread NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte threatens US and expanding on my comment on that thread. This story is fake. How do we know? By reading and asking if it makes any sense and searching for the original sources and checking if they are legitimate. Then asking what are the target audiences and intended effects. Processes that one side of the Ukraine conflict are particular resistant to carrying out.Does the story even make sense? No. First and so obviously it should not require explaining, if Rutte said that he would instantly lose his job. The...

It is, indeed, morning in America again, but Americans “have to stay vigilant,” Michael Reagan, president of the Reagan Legacy Foundation, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, explaining that President-elect Donald Trump is not stepping on his father’s legacy. Rather, America — 40 years later — needs a “strong” leader to right the ship, and Trump is that person. “A couple people called in on this and made this point that it’s morning again in America. Have you thought — I’m sure you have — much about that messaging from your dad, the morning again? And what does...

I’d like to speak to the manager. The election did not go the way I wanted it to go. I’m angry. I demand a redo. Except that’s already Karen’s line, and the election did go her way. A quick refresher on Karen: The name, which became a widespread meme around 2019, has been used to describe a certain type of middle- or upper-middle-class white woman who overexerts her privilege in situations she finds to be unfair. Her angst is often aimed at service workers and people of color.

An Indiana jury on Monday afternoon reached a verdict for double murder suspect Richard Allen for the February 2017 killings of two girls who had been walking on a hiking trial in Delphi, known as the Delphi murders. The verdict will be announced in a Carroll County courtroom. The case had been more than seven years in the making since Abigail (Abby) Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, disappeared during their walk on Feb. 13, 2017, and investigators found them both brutally murdered the next day, with sticks covering their bodies in a wooded area near the High Monon...

The media and the left keep telling us that the Deep State is a myth, and they are gaslighting you. During Trump's first term the same people who denied that the Deep State existed also celebrated the #resistance within government, even celebrating on the pages of the New York Times' editorial page a White House official who bragged that he was working to stymie Trump's policies. Trump was unprepared to staff up his administration the first time around, and establishment Republicans helped him staff up with people who turned out to be swamp creatures. Trump won't make that mistake again....
