I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this in the last several years or if others have noticed this as well. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone whenever I talk to medical provider offices. The level of communication skills is just in the gutter. I get ghetto-level schedulers and other personnel who can barely speak English, or who don't speak clearly into the phone. Not at one provider only, but with ALL the providers I deal with. And their knowledge of their jobs is just as abysmal. It's like I went to a Walmart cashier to...

A Minneapolis mother is recovering from a terrifying attack inside her home. Maria Grant sustained severe injuries that left her with six staples in her head. She said she's recovering physically, but the emotional toll is only growing with her attacker on the loose. About three weeks ago, Grant says she heard a knock at the door just before 9 p.m. and opened it. She says she was met with a hammer. "He's just hitting me over the head with a hammer, and all I'm feeling is the hits and then the waves of blood coming down my face and...

One of President Donald Trump’s major focuses has been rooting out fraud across taxpayer-funded public services. Through their White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Co-chairs Vice President JD Vance and Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson have touted unprecedented efforts to expose and crack down on massive instances of fraud since February 2026. Yet, despite the national implications and scope of Trump, Vance and Ferguson’s campaign against fraud, Google News implemented a months-long blackout of coverage of their key actions and accomplishments in its morning feed. Put into practice, the blackout means that millions of active Google News users...

GLOUCESTERSHIRE — CNN reported an ugly example of racial profiling coming out of the UK last weekend, as a British farmer called the police on a group of Muslim men who were out for a Sunday drive. According to CNN journalists on the ground, five Muslim men had gone out in their white vans for an early Sunday drive when a white farmer called the police, claiming that they "looked suspicious." "Islamophobia is alive and well in the UK," said CNN investigative journalist Mika Bradford. "These men were labeled a threat for the mere crime of driving while Muslim. What...

Suspects in Alleged Terror Plot on Air Force Base Released on Bail, All Said to Be ‘British Nationals’ British Counter Terrorism Police officials said on Monday that the suspects in the alleged terror plot on the Royal Air Force base at Fairford on Sunday have been released on bail, while only being identified publicly as “British nationals”. Amid a growing chorus for more information, UK authorities released a limited description of the five men alleged to have attempted to use explosives to attack RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is a defacto U.S. Air Force base, including during Operation Epic Fury...

This is not satire. The five men, who are all "citizens," were reported Sunday morning by an English farmer who saw "Middle Eastern-looking" men in strange vans with masks near the RAF Fairford airbase, which is being used by the U.S. military for refueling and munitions in the Iran war. The vans contained explosive ordinance and the men were charged for the possession of explosives, as well as conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. And they were granted bail. Here's LBC on the release of the terror suspects: Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor told reporters outside New Scotland Yard: 'I can...

One of the tragedies of blacks in America is their extraordinary loyalty to the Democrat Party. Few seem to recognize the peculiar dynamic involved: The Democrat Party desperately needs black votes, yet too often its activists speak about black Americans in ways that reflect the unbelievably plantation-style soft bigotry of low expectations. A recent tweet has resurrected an old Ami Horowitz interview at UC Berkeley, where he asked a group of white, left-wing college students whether blacks face particular hurdles when it comes to voting. Their answers are breathtakingly paternalistic. Again and again, these students assume that black Americans lack...

After decades of climbing the executive ranks at US companies, more men of Indian descent are now entering the boardroom. A record 16 Indian men joined S&P 500 boards this year, taking directorships at companies including Walmart Inc., Southwest Airlines Co. and Western Digital Corp., according to ISS-Corporate and data provider Equilar. Only White men and women added more seats. The surge caps a longer shift. The share of Indian men among directors at Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies has tripled since 2018, outpacing increases for women, Black and Hispanic directors, according to data from James Drury Partners. The...

Massachusetts law faces fierce criticism from legal scholars, scientists, and prosecutors as you cannot prove a negative (disproving the existence of something that leaves no physical footprint, like a specific psychiatric defect at a precise moment in the past). Because of this, the Massachusetts legal framework creates a deeply controversial paradox in practice. The court system tries to bypass this scientific impossibility by changing the definitions. Legally, the state argues they aren’t requiring prosecutors to prove a negative. Instead, they insist that prosecutors are required to prove a positive behavioral state (the presence of rational, goal-directed, and controlled behavior). However,...

If you’re over the age of 2 or have taste, you might not know who Rachel Accorso is. She’s a pudgy, condescending and uniquely annoying in her self-righteousness YouTube personality known to abandoned children of liberals as Ms. Rachel as they are raised by their iPads. She’s also an ignoramus with hateful and toxic left-wing views and a child’s understanding of the implications of policies she happily advocates for. She’s cancer with a smile. Accorso is basically Bill Nye “The Science Guy” in drag with higher testosterone –a made-up character designed to make money. And it worked. She and her...

A Massachusetts restaurant owner allegedly beat two teenage dine-and-dashers and pointed a gun at a larger group that gathered after he chased the pair down when they skipped out on their bill last week, authorities said. Nadim Kashouh, 62, chased the teens – a 17-year-old girl and Javonnie Lee, 18 – after the pair darted out of Nadim’s Downtown Mediterranean Grill on Friday evening without paying their $92.40 bill, the Boston Globe reported. Kashouh reportedly chased the teens and caught them at a convenience store. The teens reportedly told the police that they tried to pay their tab twice but...

Since the first time I saw the first meme of "Marco Rubio Has a New Job", it has tickled me to no end! The one that really got me interested in it was the one where he needed to take on the role of Karoline Leavitt when she left her post! I began collecting them, and when I had enough, I intended to make a collage of them. And then today, I stumbled across this website:LINK: The Museum of Marco Rubio Jobs; A Living CollectionSo I made a game: Match up the image with the person or job! The answers...

I am a graphically minded person, and have struggled with a way to effectively portray the reality of our political system in America, and none of the graphic descriptions I see describe it the way I see it. I have given this much thought over the years, and I have always found this particular question puzzling: why would they have ever given us this model shown below?The only way this graph above (which is the traditional one accepted by the vast majority of Americans) makes any sense is if it were created and pushed by people who were either Communists...

Greenland could eventually capitalize on its natural resources. “Greenland could become the world’s richest people and the world’s richest island if they choose.” Asked to rate the national-security significance of the agreement on a scale of one to 10, Gray answered, “12.” Sands went considerably higher. “1,000,” she said. “It’s the new Louisiana Purchase. Because we get a continent, an island that’s one-third the size of the continental U.S. This is giant for our defense.”

WASHINGTON, DC — First lady Melania Trump put a bow on this historic state dinner. Melania stunned in a white bow blouse and sleek black tuxedo-inspired pants as she and President Trump hosted Thursday night’s lavish White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. The stylish peony-motif brocade Dolce & Gabbana pants, bow-adorned Saint Laurent cotton poplin blouse, black silk Dolce & Gabbana cummerbund and sky-high black Christian Louboutin heels she wore to welcome Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan — took the internet by storm. The first lady’s simple outfit had a more complex message — and it...

During a famous 1992 interview on “60 Minutes,” a studio production light suddenly fell while Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were speaking. The unexpected moment nearly caused an accident, but the crew quickly intervened. This behind-the-scenes incident was not seen by the millions of viewers who watched the broadcast at the time.
