Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not “HOT” anymore! Maher’s friend and business associate, Chuck LaBella, was also a friend of mine, worked on The Top Hit Show, The Apprentice, as a “gofer” and, because of the success of that show, Number One and Top Rated on many weeks, with the Finale’ being among the Top Shows of the Year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through...

Every time you send a paper check in the mail, consumer advocates say, you're putting your bank account at risk. Check fraud is rising, even as the number of checks in circulation is declining. In 2025, federal data shows, Americans lost more money to check fraud than to debit card or gift card scams. Consumers are writing fewer checks these days, but the amounts are larger, and thieves know it. "Criminals know that when they see a check in the mail, it's less likely to be a $10 check and more likely to be a $10,000 check," said Scott Anchin,...

Wisconsin media is reporting on a MAJOR Democrat Party scandal just days before the November 3rd midterm elections. This involves the Wisconsin race for governor. Democrat primary candidate and Milwaukee County Executive, David Crowley announced on Wednesday, July 8th, that he was suspending his campaign. That leaves current Wisconsin Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez in the primary race against unhinged communist But Sara Rodriguez dropped out of the race two weeks later on July 17th. Her campaign discovered “serious mismanagement and inaccuracies” in its campaign finance reports, leading to the firing of campaign manager Kara Spencer. So that was the first...

Did not expect to see this in my email. Greetings! I hope this message finds you well. There is a new study about the experiences of licensed clinicians providing end-of-life counseling to individuals seeking medical aid in dying (MAID) to help counselor educators and supervisors better understand their lived experience. This information can be used to inform the integration of end-of-life counseling and MAID-related competencies into existing counselor education programs. For this study, you are invited to describe your experiences providing end-of-life counseling and to assess how well your counselor education program aided in preparation. About the study: • One...

In this episode, your window reveals a timelapse of one of the most dramatic urban evolutions in human history. For over two millennia, Rome was shaped by political revolutions, wars, plagues, the rise and fall of empires, and a continuous cycle of destruction and renewal. Among its most dramatic chapters is the era of the Domus Aurea. After the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, Emperor Nero seized vast areas across the Palatine, Esquiline, and Caelian hills to build his sprawling Golden House, complete with an enormous artificial lake at its heart. Just a few years later, that same...

Former Utah Sen. Mitt Romney pushed back against a deal brokered by President Donald Trump freeing a U.S. hostage from Russian custody, warning of the long-term implications.In a statement posted to social media, Romney invoked former Prime Minister Winston Churchill and George Washington to criticize Trump's decision to waive Russian sanctions as part of the agreement to release a hostage who has been held by Russia for four years. The agreement, Romney suggested, risks compromising more imperatives when it benefits an aggressor such as Russia."Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just 'done a deal' with (Adolf)...

Here’s One October Surprise, Anyway “The Left has always preferred the ashes of its own making to the inheritance of better men.” —Celina101 on X By now, everybody and his uncle interested in public matters has probably read that a claque of current-and-former agency officials, ex-USAID busybodies, military officers, activist academics, Democratic Party paladins, and freelance communist jihadis has been exposed plotting the overthrow of the US government. The plot was reported by the diligent “X” blogger Jennica Pounds under her nom-de-plume “Data Republican,” who lately received an enormous document-and-recording dump courtesy of careless color revolutionaries who recorded themselves and...

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional probability distributions, the best flat or hyperplane cut is always nearly as effective as the best cut of any shape. More precisely, KLS predicts that the two differ by no more than a universal constant, regardless of the number of dimensions. This would establish a...

This week's theme: Vampires

No criminal charges for Dr. Aryan Toosi, who ignored a patient's pulse and breathing, falsely declared him dead, and placed him in a freezing morgue, where he suffered severe, permanent brain damage. https://www.kbtx.com/2026/07/09/family-plans-legal-fight-after-toddler-declared-dead-later-found-alive-hospital-morgue/

One of Texas’s most prominent personal injury lawyers has endorsed state Rep. James Talarico (D) in the Lone Star State’s widely watched Senate race. Thomas J. Henry, a fixture of Texas TV ads and billboards, posted a video to the social platform X on Thursday announcing he would support Talarico’s candidacy. “The reason I’m supporting James is I had the opportunity to meet with him in person for quite a long period of time and go over the issues that affect Texas and affect our country. And I found that James’s approach to these problems that affect Texas and our...

The recording, obtained by The Cougar Chronicle, features Venna Anne and Ashton Hirschi, both identified as POPAI leaders, speaking during a meeting earlier this month. During a conversation about capitalism, someone told Anne that “You just can’t get away from capitalism.” Anne replied, “No, unless we kill everybody.” Hirschi responded that they only needed to kill “some” people and initially settled on “500.” Anne then said, “You also have to kill their children and their [line of succession].” Hirschi agreed, stating, “We need to get the politicians.” When asked whether ICE agents could integrate back into society, Hirschi said, “If...

It appeared that he was wearing women's clothing during the stream. Otto was found dead in an attic in Breitbrunn am Chiemsee after the house also caught on fire. A neighbor noticed the blaze and tried to put it out before emergency services arrived, but Otto had already died. Stick Run’s official account initially stated it was aware of a Twitch livestream involving its creator and owner, Manuel Otto, “in which he appeared to have taken his own life.” The account said Twitch had removed the stream and video, asked the community not to spread unverified information, and invited anyone...

Two members of the Bush family, the Republican political dynasty that counts Texas as its political launchpad, have backed Democrat James Talarico in the hotly fought race for a Senate seat in the Lone Star State.

In a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room on Tuesday, Tiffany Justice discussed Pennsylvania mail-in/return ballot numbers. Tiffany is a Senior Advisor for Citizens Alliance and also co-founded Moms for Liberty. She is a very smart and eloquent speaker, someone you listen to whenever you see her on a show you like. Tiffany had good news for Republicans from Pennsylvania: Tiffany Justice: "The GOP returns are already higher than at this point in 2022. So, the GOP share of returned ballots has reached 25%. As of August 19th, 2022, it was just 20%. So things are looking really good...

Vice President JD Vance took questions from reporters on Wednesday and was asked about Vivek Ramaswamy’s highly controversial attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton, which has roiled the already nasty Ohio governor’s race. “Vice President, Daniel Bush with the BBC. Thank you. You mentioned after this you’re going to a campaign event. Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent’s mother. Republicans, some are backing away from that. Do you think that that ad was appropriate?” Vance was asked during an Ohio press conference. “Well, I’ll be honest with you, whether the ad was appropriate or not...

At the Farm Stand Yesterday Leftist Simpering, Islamic Accepting Accolades as Due So I was standing in line at the farm stand and in front of me were three Islamic women, in full garb, the full monty: veils, wimples, and floor length dresses. They were buying coffees and cookies. Anyhow. Average looking brown women. Up to them comes a thin old white woman. She starts telling them that they are SO BEAUTIFUL! She is raving about their SPECIAL BEAUTY. The women nod and suck it up. The woman is going on about this thinking she is just so liberal to...

Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is doubling down on a controversial ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, but it seems to be catastrophically backfiring on him as his odds of winning the election have cratered. In the ad, Donna Arthur, the candidate’s estranged mother who lost custody of her and her younger brother when Acton was 12, lambasts her daughter as a “liar” and urges viewers not to vote for her. Acton has publicly spoken about her troubled childhood for years, well before she ran for office, including the reason her mother lost custody: documented neglect...

Former President George W. Bush’s brother, Neil Bush, has revealed he voted for Democratic candidate James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas, calling President Donald Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election "an affront to our democratic institutions.""I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," the Texan businessman wrote in a post on Facebook on Tuesday in a snub to Republican candidate Ken Paxton.

Republican Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton took his campaign through the Houston area on Tuesday, with stops in Conroe and Sugar Land. Voters packed an event space at The Table at Madeley in Conroe to hear Paxton speak. Paxton used nearly 20 minutes on stage to outline his plan to fight rising prices and to stress his record as attorney general. "When [President] Joe Biden came for the Lone Star State, I went after him. I took him to court and sued him 107 times in four years, and I won," Paxton said. "Biden declared war...
