Two-time national curling champion Rich Ruohonen said he's proud to represent the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, even though "it's been tough" in his home state of Minnesota. "I'm a lawyer there. I've been for 28 years, and a lot of tragedy, a lot of difficulties. And, you know, we want to focus on the Games, but at the same time, what's going on there is wrong," Ruohonen told CBS News when asked how it is being at the Olympics and thinking about the news that has been coming out of his home state.

"It's going to be legendary," said TPUSA official Bradly Morgan. "Instead of watching smarmy, privileged athletes trash the U.S.A., get excited for unbridled patriotism as Kid Rock takes the ice to nail a double axel. Lee Brice will also be teaming up with Kid Rock for...

When someone becomes the president of the United States, the attention is not only on them, but also on their family. This includes the first lady and their children. It can be especially hard if those sons and daughters are still kids. Malia and Sasha Obama know all about this, as does Barron Trump. The same was true of Chelsea Clinton. When her father, Bill Clinton, was the leader of the free world, Chelsea was often mocked for her looks. Thankfully, she overcame it, outgrew her difficult teen years, and became a confident woman who refused to be held...

The Democrat Sheriff of Charlotte NC, Gary McFadden, was just completely unable to answer: a) What the 3 branches of government are. b) Which branch he serves under. This is genuinely painful to watch... completely shocking. Representative Chesser: What branch of government do you operate under? Sheriff McFadden: Mecklenburg County. Chesser: What branch of government do you operate under as sheriff? McFadden: Constitution of the United States. The elected Democrat sheriff of the county containing one of the largest cities in the southeast - the city where Iryna Zarutska was murdered - doesn't know what a branch of government even...

About three weeks ago I had what seemed to me to be a serious stroke. I considered it quite likely I was not long for this world. But medical technology has come ahead in leaps and bounds and I'm considered close to recovered at this point. If you're having concerns about your health, see your Doctor. I didn't. If I had, I might have not needed to go through what I did.

SANTA CLARA, CA - Following this year's Super Bowl halftime show featuring the musical stylings of Bad Bunny, surveys show support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement skyrocketed 99 percent overnight. Numbers show the support came immediately following Bad Bunny's performance, which featured strong references to Latino and Puerto Rican culture. "I don't know what that was, but I don't like it," one survey respondent said. "I love America, but that performance had zero apple pie, no cheerleaders, and a shocking lack of bald eagles. Disgusting." Many who answered the survey say they were put off by the performance's lewd lyrics...

CCTV footage of the moment prison guards discovered Jeffrey Epstein’s body in his cell has been unearthed by The Telegraph. Epstein was being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York on sex trafficking charges when he was found unresponsive on Aug 10, 2019. The circumstances of the financier’s suicide and his ties to high-profile public figures, including presidents, media tycoons and the Royal family, have fuelled conspiracy theories that his death may have involved foul play. Until now, no footage of that moment has been published. The FBI says Epstein took his own life and this was corroborated...

My coworker here in the Austin area went online to start the process of starting an IRA account with Fidelity using is JP Morgan Chase account. He was told by the Fidelity Rep that he couldn't do it online because of a FRAUD issue JP Morgan has experienced.

Then the...

Super Bowl commercials reportedly aim to target a less traditional audience ahead of the NFL title game on Sunday. Though the league's championship game has often been associated with older men, major companies are using the game to reach out to both Gen Z and female viewers with their latest advertisements. "[I]f we had made something that didn’t speak to Gen Z or didn’t appeal to women, I think we would have been missing the mark," Laura Jones, chief marketing officer of Instacart, told Variety on Wednesday. Super Bowl ratings reached record levels in 2025 with approximately 127.7 million people...
