The Ernst Bros and I have talked about collaborating on an article on American muscle cars for a while. I wanted it to be different from all the “Top 10” or “Best 15” titles you see on the web. So, we decided to pick just one from the 1964-1972 era and call it the Best Muscle Car of all time.

Come trick-or-treat season or any time you’re presented with a choice from a candy jar, selecting just one chocolate bar from the mix is about as difficult as picking a favorite child (or so I’ve heard from parents). Sweetness levels vary widely, as does the source of the chocolate, the mix-ins or fillings, the texture, and more. To help us narrow down the competition and build a shortlist of the best bars for s’mores, snacking, and sneaking into cakes, we called up a handful of our favorite culinary pros from coast to coast for some sweet talk.

The McCaughey septuplets were the equivalent of a viral sensation when they were born in 1997 as hysteria around the huge brood saw them thrown into the spotlight. Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey welcomed Nathan, Kelsey, Brandon, Joel, Natalie, Alexis, and Kenny Jr on November 19, 1997, in Des Moines, Iowa. The babies became the first septuplets in the world to survive infancy. They were born within six minutes of each other, nine weeks premature and only weighed between two and four pounds. Mom Bobbi was born with a malfunctioning pituitary gland that struggled to produce hormones to stimulate ovulation. She...

Anyone see this? In the Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home's Guestbook for Jim Robinson, there was the following response to Joe Alfieri’s post there: “FreeRepublic gave a voice to millions? Lol. No. FR gave voice to thousands of people who probably shouldn’t talk about anything because Boomers are addicted to giving unsolicited opinions about things they simply don’t understand.” Bill Clinton

I usually scroll through the "comments" tab on FR to get a flavor for the post before actually clicking through. But the comments are no longer showing. It will show one Freeper responding to another, but does not show the actual comment. Happening on multiple devices. Anyone else having this problem, or notice it? Also, anyone else on the monthly donor team getting hit with two charges a month instead of one? Has happened to me a couple times in the last few months. Just happened this week, but I have not contacted the Robinson family out of respect for...

One of my favorite things to do here at JoBlo is to highlight obscure movies that deserve a lot more love. One of the best movies I’ve ever covered is Peter Hyams’ 1981 movie Outland. A kind of quasi sci-fi remake of High Noon set on Jupiter’s Moon, IO, it stars Sean Connery as a Marshal set to enforce law on a mining colony who finds himself marked for death by the company administering the moon when he discovers a conspiracy. They hire gunmen to take him out, and with no one on the moon willing to help him, he...

Hunter Biden ignited a wave of outrage this week after launching a vicious, deeply personal attack on New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, calling her a “whore” and suggesting no one would mourn her death. The remarks came during a Nov. 6 appearance on the Wide Awake Podcast, where the former-president’s son erupted into a tirade over Devine’s reporting on his now-infamous laptop. Devine, one of the first journalists to publish details from the laptop in 2020, has continued to report extensively on its contents. She later authored Laptop from Hell, a book documenting the emails, business records, and personal...

GM introduced Airbags and also ABS Braking way back int the 1970's, but these safety options didn't gain popularity until the 1990's.

Last Wednesday, Nov. 5th I closed on my new home in Southeast Tennessee.Last Friday, Nov. 7th movers arrived at my now former home in Orland Park, IL and loaded up the moving truck. I was so anxious to get out of HELLINOIS, I'd already boxed up everything that wasn't furniture into moving boxes and made the job as easy as possible for the movers. Loading up the 26' moving truck took about three hours and the movers were darn' impressed at how easy it was for them.Saturday mid-day, the moving truck arrived at my new home in Southeast Tennessee (Loudon...

The Indiana state senate will not put redistricting up for a vote despite California preparing to steal the House majority. If Democrats win the House, it will be an existential event. They will spend the next two years of Trump’s term impeaching him. Trump advisor Alex Brusewitz calls it a monumental betrayal. “Spineless RINO “legislators” have sabotaged and buried Republicans’ vital redistricting push. And they are letting Gavin Newsom & left-wing Democrats get closer to stealing the house. The weak as hell State Senate President @bray_rodric doesn’t even have the guts to put redistricting up for a vote! I was...

A Democrat representative appears to have revealed the party’s next plot to sow chaos in DC and stall President Donald Trump’s agenda. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who represents South Boston in Congress, told CNN’s Omar Jimenez on Friday that the party could be eyeing a second attempt at shutting down the government when the short-term continuing resolution expires in January. “Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch says he is “furious” that the government reopened and suggests the Democrats will shut down the government again in January,” RNC Research wrote on X in a post accompanying the CNN clip. “I’m, I’m, I’m furious...

Tucker Carlson is now openly alleging that the Trump-era FBI — not just Biden’s — is lying about critical details of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is the core, explosive thrust of his just-released video (embedded below): that the very federal law-enforcement leadership now serving in Trump’s second term — including his newly installed FBI team led by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino — is obscuring what really happened on the rooftop where Thomas Crooks nearly killed a former president. Carlson isn’t just challenging federal law enforcement; he is accusing Trump’s own handpicked security...

Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds denounced the wing of his party he claims is threatening to “co-opt the conservative movement” during a speech at a Miami-Dade GOP fundraiser this week, after an anti-immigration candidate started teasing a primary run against him in Florida’s gubernatorial race. “Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there is this strain going on on the right — they’re calling it the ‘woke right,’” U.S. Rep. Donalds said Tuesday. “There’s some strain going on that’s now saying, ‘Not just no illegal immigration, but no legal immigration.’” His comments during the annual Miami Dade GOP Lincoln Day Dinner...

Scientists have cracked the code behind a mysterious language discovered among a non-human species living in Earth's oceans that mirrors human speech. Using AI to study whale communication, Project CETI researchers discovered that sperm whales 'talk' to each other with strange, Morse code-like clicking patterns. The mammals used patterned click sequences known as codas, which include two distinct vowel-like sounds — an 'ah'-like a-coda and an 'ee'-like i-coda. The vowel-like noises were not random, as whales were seen actively controlling the pitch, length, and type of sounds they were making as they 'pronounced' different words.

In today’s weather forecast, we are talking about a rare and spectacular northern lights display expected to light up skies across much of the United States. tonight. A powerful geomagnetic storm is underway, allowing the aurora to be visible as far south as the central Plains, Ohio Valley, and even parts of the Deep South. Skies will need to be clear and dark, so head away from city lights for the best chance to see it. Infrastructure impacts, like power grid issues, cannot be ruled out. This is one of the most widespread aurora events in years, get all the...

A Utah judge just handed Democrats a major win ahead of the 2026 midterms, tossing out a GOP-drawn congressional map and replacing it with one that carves out a new Democratic-leaning district in the deep-red state. Utah District Judge Dianna Gibson ruled late Monday that the map approved by the Republican-controlled legislature “unduly favors Republicans and disfavors Democrats.” The ruling wipes out the current lines, which gave the GOP control of all four congressional districts. The move marks the latest flashpoint in a coast-to-coast redistricting war, one pitting President Donald Trump and his Republican allies against Democrats fighting for control...

The best things in life are free — but are they actually? Realtor.com reports a five-bedroom residence in Nantucket, Massachusetts — one worth $5 million, no less — is available for free. Yes, its owners are looking to give away the five-bedroom spread. But does that mean anyone can simply move into the Cliff Road dwelling located a stone’s throw from the ocean? No. In this case, a prospective owner has to move the home off its foundation and transport it elsewhere in the next 180 days. Each year, as Nantucket’s summer tourist season draws to close, a new season...
