Since 2007, Adrian Peterson has been paid handsomely to carry a football. However, despite earning millions of dollars during the course of his decorated NFL career, the 35-year-old barely has anything to show for it. In fact, the Detroit Lions running back may have hit rock bottom recently.(snip) Given the fact he’s collected NFL paychecks for 14 years, you’d expect Peterson to be in a terrific financial position. Yet, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Since entering the league more than a decade ago, Adrian Peterson has been well-compensated for his ability to run through, around, and over NFL...

'This one is not THAT good' Aunt Dai offers a mix of authentic and North American Chinese food. And Fei tries to be very clear about what's what. "Don't let the name fool you, this one is NOT authentic Chinese food," he warns patrons of his Hēi Jiāo, a.k.a. black pepper stir fry. "True story, one customer got really mad because it's not so Chinese since he visited Sichuan China before." But that doesn't mean Fei only likes the traditional fare. After some cajoling from his customers, he added General Tao chicken to the menu, with the following description: "I...

An anti-masker in leopard-print was captured on video making bizarre claims after she was arrested in Florida for COVID-19 violations. Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, an ardent Trump supporter, was in an Einstein Bros Bagels joint in West Boca, Palm Beach County, on Thursday when staff asked her to put on a mask or leave, in compliance with local pandemic safety laws. The 61-year-old from Boynton Beach, wearing head-to-toe animal print, claimed it was her constitutional right not to wear a mask. After police back-up was called, Falco-DiCorrado was captured on video being taken out the shop as she screamed that police were...

A 1940 educational short by Bell Telephone to show customers that were recieving new dial phones how to use the new device, and why they were getting these new sets.

Taco Bell may always be associated with neon-colored beverages and big, beefy burritos. But quietly, the fast food chain has established a second identity as a haven for vegetarians and vegans. As of 2020, the bean burrito was the company’s number two biggest seller. Today, the company is making two big announcements to support vegetarians and plant-based eaters. First, it’s permanently bringing back its popular potato bites, which were taken off the menu as COVID-19 struck, on March 11. Second, it’s launching a partnership with Beyond Meat to release a new plant protein within the coming year.

In George Orwell’s book ‘1984’ the party is continuously rewriting history so that the party is always right. I can think of a few versions of history that has been deliberately rewritten by the left so they are always "right'.McCarthyism. The truth is Communists really were trying to take over America and McCarthy was literally smeared to death. Nazi’s are on the right : A lie pushed by Joe Stalin himself after his ally to take over the world took on Stalin instead. Christian’s are anti-science . It was in Christian Europe that the Scientific Revolution started! Civil War was...

Fox executives are said to be fearful a shake-up is on the cards as Rupert Murdoch heads back to the US thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, courtesy of the UK's NHS. -snip- Top of the priority list is to tackle the decline in ratings seen since Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election in November, insiders said. Multiple insiders told The Daily Beast Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace are both fighting to keep their jobs after taking the lion's share of the blame for the figures. Fox has denied there is any truth to the rumors,...

The atmosphere on November 1, 2020, in the cruise industry, was one of pure optimism. Not only did the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) lift the No-Sail-Order, but we would also soon start seeing ships sailing from US ports on test cruises. The end of December, or at the latest, the start of January, would surely be the time. More than 150,000 people signed up for the test cruises onboard Royal Caribbean ships, while the Facebook page quickly gained 63,000 followers. That optimism has faded somewhat. It’s mid-January, and there is no sign whatsoever of any ships...

Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths — all nursing home patients — apparently related to the side effects of the shots, health officials said. Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said in a Friday statement. All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old. While officials aren’t expressing serious concern, they are adjusting their guidance on who should...

David Rhodes will step down as president of CBS News amid falling ratings and the fallout from revelations from an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against CBS News figures, Rhodes and the CBS network said Sunday night.

For example, anyone who has watched the President’s speech during the January 6th rally knows for certain that he did not encourage or in any way spark the attack on the Capitol. It’s ludicrous to say he did, but somehow a majority of Americans have been sold on the lies. Anyone who blames Trump for the Capitol riots in any way at all is not our ally. Another obvious purity test is the election itself. It was stolen. This is crystal clear, so much so that only the totally ignorant or the absolute liars can say otherwise. The evidence is...

Fox News is still not recovering from their Post-Steal ratings collapse. Going from record ratings before their duplicitous Arizona call, to a disastrous ratings collapse by Thursday 1/14.

There's no one in the world who doesn't know what fast food is—some love it, others detest it, but the famous brands are almost seared into our brain. Certain fast food chains operate at a local level only, and then there are those that are spread all over the world. McDonald's is perhaps one of the few brands that even people who have never tasted fast food will recognize. With such popularity comes variety. The chain's restaurants can be found in the middle of bustling cities and in remote places, with fascinating designs and astounding architectural decisions. And one Twitter...

SAINT PAUL, MN—With Democrats in control of Congress, Americans are looking forward to seeing their elected representatives put the needs of the American people first. Democrats have responded by pursuing the one thing every American affected by devastating lockdowns needs: another Trump impeachment. According to experts, there are millions of struggling Americans-- many of whom are completely destitute-- wondering where their next Trump impeachment is coming from. Local unemployed waitress and single mother Alissa Martins spoke to reporters, saying she is "very happy" about this development. "I haven't made a dime in over 3 weeks," said the struggling young mother....

HUNDREDS of alleged mobsters from Italy's most powerful mafia group will face justice in the country's biggest organised crime trial in decades. The Uncle, The Wolf, Fatty, Big Nose and Blondie are among the 355 suspected mobsters and corrupt officials charged following a long inquiry into the influential 'Ndrangheta group. There are so many of the accused mafia members and their accomplices involved in the trial that it took more than three hours to read out their names and the 438 indictments in a recent pre-trial hearing, reported news agency AFP. But like the classic Godfather films, this trial revolves...
