They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those pages,” Schnitt replied....

President Donald Trump has a new city in his sights after he threatened to send the National Guard into Chicago and Baltimore in the name of fighting crime and deporting undocumented immigrants. Trump has thus far targeted Democratic-run cities in Democratic-run states, but this time could be different, as the president eyes New Orleans — a Democratic-run “blue” city in the red state of Louisiana. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Wednesday, “So we’re making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago? Do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff...

The store sent them back to the plant to be washed sterilized and refilled, so it could use the...

Besides the harm the transgender ideology does to individuals, leaving boys being less than boys and girls less than girls after “treatment,” the lost families and lives, the multiple mass killers that have come from that lifestyle, there is a “threat” to public safety, and “as such, it should be outlawed and eradicated form public life.” ...

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan criticized Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature over a lack of funding for Proposition 36 on this week’s edition of Inside California Politics. Mahan called the $100 million allocation ’embarrassing’ during a wide-ranging interview on homelessness, mental health services, crime and more. “I’m disappointed frankly,” Mahan told host Nikki Laurenzo. “We said during the Prop 36 campaign it’s a two-step process — the voters need to make clear that they expect accountability for retail theft and they want to see people get treatment, and then the governor and the legislature need to fund expanded...

I have two items to write about today. The first is, I was selected for a BookBub Featured Deal. This is a huge accomplishment! BookBub is a very respected, very prestigious book listing service. Historically, only one out of four titles are accepted, but I'm hearing that the current numbers are more like one out of twenty. For a new author, it's unheard of to be selected. In fact, in a writer's private TwitterX group, I was hearing "How did you *do* that??!" and "I've been trying to get on BookBub for YEARS now..." Second, the title of this thread...

Taylor Swift’s $17 million Rhode Island mansion isn’t just a star-studded backdrop anymore—it’s ground zero for a growing tax revolt aimed at the wealthy. Starting next summer, the state will slap a new surcharge on vacation homes worth $1 million or more, a move already dubbed the “Taylor Swift Tax.” The goal: Make deep-pocketed second-home owners pay more, and set the stage for a wave of similar crackdowns from Montana’s mountains to Connecticut’s suburbs. And yet, at the very top of the market, wealthy buyers are still scooping up real estate. As of April 2025, the $1 million-plus category has...

As the primary cook in my house, I’m always looking for smart shortcuts that deliver delicious results. While I adore homemade cinnamon rolls, the time and effort involved means I reserve them for lazy weekend baking projects or holidays. For all other times, I reach for a tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok or Instagram in the last few years, you’ve likely seen cascades of heavy cream poured over refrigerated rolls in kitchens across the country. I first saw this hack from MacKenzie Smith of @grilledcheesesocial. She credits @mississippi_kween and @manthacancook with the inspiration, but...

A pint-sized guitarist, 10-year-old Bay Melnick Virgolino, had the America's Got Talent audience rocking out on Monday's second round of the quarterfinals. He is young, yes, but not shy about showing celebrity judges Mel B, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara what he could do with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" in the last moments of the live episode.
