Hartog tried to extinguish the car. The race was red-flagged and ultimately abandoned. “I...

Pardon a bit of self-indulgence, I wanted to brag about my Alma Mater, The University of Florida, who back in 2020 at the height of the BLM hysteria was led by a DEI President who banned the "Gator Bait" cheer that had been a part of UF Sporting Events for at least since the 1990s. Now at the beginning of a new football season, with a new Head Coach and new President who appreciates college football traditions decided to allow the cheer to come back. Saturday night in the first quarter the cheer returned to an overwhelmingly positive response hopefully...

As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown. The "alleged" perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio. Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct. Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen. “While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple...

My goodness, my Guinness! A massive haul of 70,000 pints of Guinness was stolen in the dead of night — sending British police on a desperate hunt for the missing stout. The two trailer loads of beer, valued at $155,000, were snatched last Monday from an industrial park in Runcorn, near Liverpool, according to the Cheshire Constabulary. The Guinness, destined for pubs, was brazenly taken by two drivers who pulled up to the depot and hauled away the trailers carrying 800 barrels of the dark, creamy Irish beer. “It is famously said that ‘Guinness is good for you,’ but that...

Anisakid parasite in chum salmon. (Togabi/Wikimedia Commons) A fatty tuna that is often used for sashimi or canning may be swimming with parasites more often than not. When scientists at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil analyzed 53 locally caught fish, they found nearly all were contaminated by worms. According to a brief communication published in Ocean and Coastal Research, the research team counted more than 1,600 little worms in total. Using powerful microscopy tools as aids, they found that the kidney and heart were the only organs free of parasites in every fish. Otherwise, the worms...

When we return to work after the Labor Day weekend, the hope is that America will start paying attention to the stark choice offered at the midterm elections in November. There are just two months left until voters decide whether the Trump administration can continue the free enterprise agenda that is sparking an economic boom and keep reversing the woke cultural insanity that ruined so many lives — or whether the big-government socialists who call themselves Democrats will cripple all that progress and mire the country in another round of debilitating impeachment politics. While historical precedent and the pundit class...

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki — the self-help guru who has made a fortune preaching the secrets of financial success — has amassed a staggering $1.2 billion in debt tied to his sprawling real-estate investments, according to a report. The 79-year-old scribe has repeatedly touted the eye-popping figure while arguing that borrowing money to buy income-producing assets is a strategy used by the wealthy. “So, I’m a billion two in debt,” he told the “Get Rich Education” podcast over the summer. He added that people “[s]hould not do what I do, right?” “But I studied it since 1974…...

The Air Force said last week that its M18 service pistol is "safe, reliable, and functional" following a review of tens of thousands of the firearms. The findings came as part of the final review in a large-scale inspection of the gun ordered last year after an airman was killed by a bullet fired from a M18.

Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the United States' intercontinental ballistic missile...

Technology is supposed to make life easier. Unfortunately, it also has a remarkable ability to convince us to spend hundreds of dollars replacing devices that were working perfectly well—or buying gadgets we barely need in the first place. That problem has become especially noticeable in 2026. Smartphones have swallowed entire categories of consumer electronics, while competition has made other products so inexpensive that paying premium prices often delivers surprisingly little extra value. A recent Yahoo Shopping examination of outdated tech purchases highlighted several categories where consumers may be spending far more than necessary. That does not mean every expensive gadget...

* The curls were cute. The system wasn’t. * A black box waited off-camera. * Stardom came with a price tag. =========================================================== Most people remember Shirley Temple as the adorable childhood star during Hollywood’s heyday. The Dimples. Tap shoes. Bouncy ringlets. That heartwarming little smile. On the Good Ship Lollipop. She became the kind of child star whose image was so relentlessly cheerful that it eventually hardened into American nostalgia. Forever America’s sweetheart. Which is precisely why the story about the ominous “black box” sounds practically unbelievable the first time you hear it. A TikTok video explains that when Temple...

A compound called TOFA helped obese mice lose 18% of their body weight without eating less, while preserving lean tissue and improving blood sugar and liver fat.Medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide have changed how doctors treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. They copy signals from gut hormones, including GLP-1, that reduce hunger. These drugs can help people lose weight, but they can also cause nausea and other digestive problems. Some people may lose lean tissue, including muscle, which could create health problems over time. Obesity often appears with high blood sugar and excess liver fat. Researchers at the University...
