A new survey suggests many Baby Boomers are struggling with digital overuse, with nearly half spending more than three hours a day on their smartphones and a significant number experiencing anxiety when disconnected. The poll, conducted by AddictionResource.net, surveyed 2,000 adults ages 59 to 77 about their digital habits and found signs of emotional dependence, compulsive behavior and difficulty reducing screen time. Experts say adults who spend more than six hours a day on screens are at increased risk of depression. While screen addiction is not defined by time alone, experts recommend recreational use stay below two hours daily.

Pope Leo XIV met Sept. 4 with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, calling for swift action to end hostilities in Gaza and ensure urgent humanitarian access to the most afflicted areas.

WATERLOO, Ill. – More than six weeks after an Illinois girl was fatally wounded at a home in Waterloo, authorities have filed charges against two people for her death. According to Sgt. Justin Biggs, a Monroe County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, deputies and EMS responded to a home in the 5900 block of State Route 3 on the afternoon of July 21.

The Illinois State Police Crime Scene Unit assisted the sheriff’s...

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a self-professed Catholic who supports abortion, shocked listeners this week when he declared it “extremely troubling” to say rights come from God rather than the government. “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, they come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes,” Kaine said Sept. 3 during a Senate hearing. “So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, blasted Kaine’s comments as “outrageous and really so dangerous...

…and start crying into their beer.That’s what happened over at NBC “News.” A dozen -- anonymous -- federal judges, appointed by both Republican and Democrat presidents, went whining to NBC about how hurt their feelings are that SCOTUS keeps overturning their garbage activist rulings and how it makes them look bad and gosh golly gee can SCOTUS knock it off pleeeeeeeez?The content of the piece is remarkable for its immaturity. The simple fact that they felt compelled to do this is itself indicative of a lack of impulse control and unworthiness to hold a gavel. They clearly lack the judicial...

VIDEOHow many of us are desperate to be worthy of earning a Starfish pin? As we all know it is the highest honor, above that of even the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that can be bestowed upon a civilian. So when Senator Ben Ray Lujan (D)umb New Mexico refused to give his Starfish pin to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the recent Senate Hearing it completely devastated him as you can see by the look of total grief on RFK's face in reaction to the sad news.

What if we told you that DARPA, the U.S. government agency, has developed a way to send electricity through great distances… with no batteries or cables involved in the process? That’s right, like out of a cartoon (it actually looks like a Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz’s idea), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been able to transmit energy using focused light beams. Of course, they have decided to call their project POWER —great copywriting, even better science. But, how does the DARPA’s POWER project work? This scientific experiment turns electricity into a tightly focused beam of light, sends that beam...

Austin officials just told Cracker Barrel to hold their beer: The city of Austin just spent $1.1 million on this rebrand pic.twitter.com/9hMXamDTPV— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) September 4, 2025BRO 😂 The city's official seal was adopted in the early 20th century and features colors that mirror the Texas and American flags, reflecting Austin's heritage. The oil lamp is a symbol that reflects knowledge and learning. Behind a cross is the silhouette of the state's capitol, reminding people that Austin is the seat of Texan government. The cross surrounded by angelic wings is a reminder of the city's historic Christian faith and...

Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel has issued its first formal evacuation notice to residents of a multi-story building in Gaza City ahead of an impending strike, warning that IDF operations there will only intensify until Hamas agrees to Israel’s terms to a ceasefire deal. “The bolt is now being removed from the gates of Hell in Gaza,” he posts on X. “Once the door is opened, it will not be closed, and IDF operations will intensify — until Hamas’s murderers and rapists accept Israel’s conditions for ending the war, first and foremost the release of all hostages and disarmament...

It was a total demolition. Benny Johnson absolutely dismantled Geraldo Rivera during a fiery debate on Piers Morgan’s show, exposing the smug far-left pundit’s stupidity in real time for the world to see. Geraldo, who has made a career out of defending the indefensible, tried to lecture America that illegal aliens are not criminals — even as he openly admitted that their “only crime” is coming here illegally. The circular logic was laughable, but Benny wasn’t about to let it slide.

In a large-scale immigration enforcement sweep at a Hyundai facility in Georgia on Thursday, 475 immigrants suspected of living and working in the U.S. illegally were detained, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News.The operation involved law enforcement agents from multiple federal agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the Border Patrol; the FBI; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the IRS, underscoring the government-wide nature of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.Earlier, the Atlanta office of the ATF had said 450 people were detained in a post on...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” Luke 5:37–39This short parable comes at the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. He just called Levi, the tax collector, to become one of His disciples, and then Levi invited Jesus to dine at his home with other tax collectors and sinners....

US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars in USAID and foreign aid that Congress authorized. Trump will immediately appeal Judge Ali’s ruling. “President Trump has the executive authority to ensure that all foreign aid is accountable to taxpayers and aligns with the America First priorities people voted for,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement to Reuters. Reuters reported:

The U.S. Space Force’s secretive X-37B is a reusable, unmanned spaceplane whose true mission remains a mystery. Its eighth mission, launched August 21, 2025, has reignited speculation, with Russia and China claiming it is a space bomber. While not a “Death Star,” the X-37B is an invaluable and record-breaking testbed for advanced satellite technologies, enabling the U.S. to conduct experiments in space and bring the results back home for analysis.

Ukraine struck several Russian oil facilities overnight Friday, including one if its largest refineries and an oil depot, worsening the country’s crippling fuel shortages.

According to police, the patch was created by Officer Ermily Murdoc, who designed it to reflect and honor...

A couple of Shot Shows ago, this correspondent suggested to ammunition manufacturers that a low-powered, small shot cartridge could fill a “garden gun” niche for Americans.The idea of a garden gun is a gun firing a low-velocity, low-powered shot load, which is not very loud, but can efficiently dispatch small pests out to about 20 yards. People at Remington must have been thinking along the same lines. They have introduced a “Low Decibel” .410 load, which is very close to old garden gun loads.Many people already have .410 shotguns. They do not need to purchase a dedicated “garden gun” to...

Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has resigned following a scandal over her failure to pay the correct amount of property tax, adding to the woes of the country’s struggling center-left government. Her departure is another headache for the United Kingdom’s increasingly unpopular leader, Keir Starmer, and deprives his cabinet of one of its brightest political stars. In a letter addressed to Starmer on Friday, Rayner said that she was stepping down as Britain’s deputy prime minister and housing minister, as well as the deputy leader of the Labour Party. Despite securing a landslide election victory in July 2024, Labour...
