He also spoke about the “grief and the fear” that people in the audience were feeling, “because I know I am.” “We got our asses kicked. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But sometimes you have to spend a little time in bed before it happens,” he said. “It was hard to come here honestly.” “We suffered a great loss, it’s a loss that touches deeply on so much of what we’ve worked for and we’ve hoped for and dreamed of for such a long time now,” he said. Then Ruffalo urged audience members to stand and hug the...

In response, WNEP posted a “note” on its website saying that the results shown were “test results”...

...The RV industry saw it coming. Since 2020 it’s been working with CARB (the California Air Resources Board—creator of ACT) on how these regulations would affect the industry and RVers. Industry had hoped CARB would work in an exemption for recreational vehicles. That didn’t happen. The situation is further complicated by more than just the ACT regulation. It also involves a trio of regulations passed in the last two to three years: the ACT, the Omnibus Low NOx rule, and the Advanced Clean Fleets rule. Together, these regulations are designed to transition medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)...

Actor Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 next month, suggested he would happily not be around to see the next four years under President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in the White House. While some celebrities threaten to leave the United States in response to the 2024 presidential election results, Van Dyke’s Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has taken an even more radical turn, with the actor saying he is grateful he won’t be alive to experience the 45th president’s second term. “Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years,” the Mary Poppins star said in response to a reporter...

In a move set to reshape Washington as we know it, President-Elect Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk -- CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X 00 and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a newly formed “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). The mission of DOGE will be to tackle government waste, reduce bureaucratic bloat, and introduce a sweeping restructuring of federal agencies. “I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency,” Trump said in a statement. With both Musk and Ramaswamy on board, Trump...

After fifty years of leftist dominance and indoctrination in the schools, this really doesn’t come as a surprise, but it’s a good indication of where we are as a culture: it is now more socially acceptable and easier overall for students to declare that they are homosexual than it is for them to reveal that they’re Christian. This news comes from Northern Ireland, but it doesn’t take more than a nanosecond or two of observation to realize that this is by no means a Northern Irish problem: the results would be the same all over the Western world, including, or...

Last Tuesday, America sent a resounding message to Washington when they elected Donald Trump and gave Republicans majorities in the Senate and likely the House. D.C. Republicans now have one job: Don’t screw it up.For Senate Republicans, this means closing the book on the Mitch McConnell era of governance marked by heavily centralized management and open hostility to the Trump agenda and the Republican base. On Nov. 13, they will elect a new leader for the first time in nearly 18 years and have a chance to usher in a new leadership that is accountable to the conference and the...

While Noem is certainly skilled at promoting herself, she doesn’t have the courage required for this role.Multiple outlets say, based largely on claims from CNN via anonymous sources, that President-elect Donald Trump intends to nominate South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his Homeland Security secretary. While Noem is certainly skilled at promoting herself, she doesn’t have the courage required for this role.Numerous top aides fled Noem’s office after she lied to voters about sabotaging policies key to Trump’s win — policies acknowledging that men and women are different. Requiring men to stay out of women’s sports and sanctioning those who...

Hundreds of "Wanted" posters targeting members of the University of Rochester community were found glued to campus buildings and classrooms, according to the Department of Public Safety. The university launched an investigation after discovering the posters targeted Jewish faculty, and staff, including Hillel leaders, with the words "Wanted: Connection to War Crimes" and "Racism. Hate Speech. Intimidation."... "University facilities immediately began working to remove the posters and return the spaces to their usual state," Chief Quchee Collins said."This process is painstaking because of the strong adhesive used to affix the posters, which in some cases caused damage to walls, floors,...

It is hard for progressives right now. The rejection of the progressive project in the election of Donald Trump has resulted in a few unfortunately dependable reactions. This follows on the heels of a couple of years of freefall for progressive churches. The author here anticipates more bad behavior and fragility of character from himself and his compatriots. Rather than seeing the exodus from churches like his as a sane response to leftist hysteria, he blames Trump for the inability of attendees to hear his gospel. It's a real piece of work. But it is worth talking through, I think,...

Two Lacey parents are facing criminal charges, including assault and attempted kidnapping, after several bystanders had to step in to stop a father from strangling his daughter outside a school. The incident happened outside Timberline High School on Oct. 18.

According to court records, the 17-year-old victim told investigators her father had recently been threatening her with an ‘honor killing’ after she refused to go to another country for an arranged marriage with an...

President Trump announced his nomination of Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense this evening, rounding out a strong stable of national-security professionals including Elise Stefanik at the United Nations, Representative Mike Waltz to be national security adviser, and former intelligence chief and congressman John Ratcliffe to be CIA director. Pete is an unconventional pick. He has spent his last few years as one of the co-hosts of Fox & Friends. As we speak, newsrooms across the country are preparing snide commentary that will highlight his time at the network rather than his time in uniform. - snip- At 44,...
