Mel Gibson for California governor? A poll has emerged citing him as a popular Republican candidate to run for the office although he has expressed zero interest in pursing it. In a new Lost Coast Outpost poll formulated on Wednesday, Gibson emerges as a surprising third place and the top Republican candidate with 12 percent of the vote. California Globe looked at the figures and surmised former Congresswoman Katie Porter now has a slight lead amongst all candidates, but the rest of the field is mixed: According to the poll, which was a straight straw poll with no demographic data...

Though already popular, the COVID-19 pandemic skyrocketed the demand for disinfectant wipes. Masking and vaccines were contentious along political fault lines, but the public was united in its embrace of wipes. Americans zealously wiped countertops, door knobs, and even groceries. While other pandemic precautions waned, the disinfecting frenzy continues. The American Cleaning Institute–the trade group representing disinfectant manufacturers–proudly declared that “Americans are still wild about wipes.” In North America alone, the disinfectant wipes market grew to USD 3.72 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 5.64 billion by 2031.

Frank Sinatra is an icon. He left such a massive imprint on the world of music and movies that there's no doubt life would be very different had he never gone into the entertainment business. Sinatra also had a major impact on many restaurants and food companies, essentially catapulting them into the spotlight merely by eating at an establishment or carrying a drink onstage with him.

While checking out at Trader Joe's recently, my cashier mentioned that frozen foods are the specialty grocer's "bread and butter," and boy, was he right. Of all the many reasons that shoppers love TJ's, from affordable prices to top-notch customer service, the California-founded grocery chain has a freezer section that puts others to shame.

Hard seltzers are refreshing, come in a variety of flavors, and are super easy to drink. But if you’re anything like us, you go to the liquor store and experience the paradox of choice.

“Don’t jump,” President Joe Biden shouted this week for at least the 20th time as president, raising concerns on the campaign trail about his mental acuity. Biden, 81, whom special counsel Robert Hur described as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” often uses the phrase “Don’t jump” to joke or taunt his critics. Biden typically directs his wisecrack at individuals who are standing near a ledge or on a balcony, though no video evidence shows anyone seeking to “jump” from their perch. He once told a person standing just a few feet in front of him not to jump....

Former President Barack Obama has given his official seal of approval to Steven Spielberg’s woke box-office disaster West Side Story, naming it as one of his favorite movies of 2021. In what has become an annual Obama tradition, the 44th president tweeted a list of his top movies of the past year. And as usual, the list is a precisely calibrated mix of indie darlings, prestige foreign titles, and woke Hollywood fare — all seemingly designed to further ingratiate him with the elite tastemaker crowd, as if their political fealty was ever in doubt.

Former President Obama shared his favorite books for 2021 in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “Art always sustains and nourishes the soul. But for me, music and storytelling felt especially urgent during this pandemic year—a way to connect even when we were cooped up,” Obama wrote in his post. “I’ll start by sharing some of the books that I read this year that left a lasting impression, and I’m excited to share my favorite movies and music in the days to come,” he added.

When a new poll this week revealed that the public continues to view Ronald Reagan as its favorite modern president, there were many satisfied nods in the Simi Valley, California, offices of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. It was the latest confirmation that the foundation that supports the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum has succeeded in keeping the Gipper’s spirit alive and relevant to America’s journey.

A Chicago cop who was patrolling solo took a two-time felon into custody after seeing him firing a gun in a Wicker Park intersection Saturday night, according to prosecutors and a source. Later, the two-time felon allegedly whined that the arresting officer got his “good gun.” Serrano later admitted to having the gun and told investigators he was sad because “this is my good gun,” prosecutors said. Judge Mary Marubio set bail for Serrano at $150,000, meaning he will need to post a $15,000 deposit to get out of jail. He will be placed on electronic monitoring if he posts...

Down to 8 pretty good teams. Unfortunately in each game one pretty good team lies down or doesn't show up. Baltimore should be in the Super Bowl and they didn't seem to even try. Minnesota was never in it. Injuries are too big a factor Seattle will have no offensive line going against 2 excellent players on the GB defensive line. Russell Wilson could still pull it out but after16/17 games I think too many teams just give up from exhaustion. It seems to happen year after year.

Donald Trump Jr. appeared on CBS to promote his new book Tuesday, and when asked who his favorite Democrat was, he responded, “Mitt Romney.”“Say something nice on there today, aright?” CBS’s Gayle King teased.  “I’ll do that.
