I somehow sleep through the midnight knock at the door and even the barking dogs barely get my attention — we get a lot of deer here on Monument Hill and the barking that accompanies their every visit to our yard. The strange man's voice in the foyer got me up and moving in an instant. The tone of the voice said "Cop." My brain immediately flashes to my niece, Naomi. Aged 19 and certainly partying on New Year's, I picture a car wreck before I even quite know what I was thinking. As I'm pulling on my robe, Melissa...

Harris, a 36-year-old businesswoman and lawyer, shared an Instagram post on Wednesday night that was reposted several times about the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict.

For Christmas and her January birthday we usually give my near 30 yr old niece cash & a small gift. But, in past years she has shown her absolute ignorance by supporting Antifa, BLM, and Biden. Her most recent response to a video I sent her of Diamond & Silk was "the election is not being stolen." Well, instead of actually disowning her, I've decided I'd like to just send her fraudulent gifts (sending something stolen just wouldn't work )... I have some monopoly money but need something more real, that will maybe get her attention....since Freepers are smart and...

The niece of an Illinois mayor is putting her uncle on blast for attending a large wedding in Florida where he was photographed huddled closely with relatives who weren’t wearing face coverings — just days after floating a potential mask mandate in his city. Kristin Chirico, co-host of YouTube’s “The Kitchen and Jorn Show” and a former BuzzFeed personality, publicly criticized her uncle, Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico, for attending his daughter’s nuptials in Naples after a photo purportedly from the affair surfaced on Twitter.

Another in a long list of anti-Trump books is about to drop, displacing Bolton's despicable whine as the craze among the haters. Ever since Trump was elected, there have been a stream of such books. Not one of them has damaged the president, but they do damage their authors, because each of them has revealed said authors' lack of decency. These books are not about Trump; they each display for all to read the angry emptiness of the writers themselves. Exactly who goes about writing books to bring down a duly elected president? Hollow people — the kind of people...

New York has had firefighters since Dutch colonial days, first in the form of volunteers and then, beginning in 1865, a professional paid force.And in the days of horse-drawn engines and a less-sophisticated alarm system, firehouse dogs played an important role.Often a stray who found his way to the house or an unwanted pup given to the chief, many these canines served their companies heroically, explains 1897 New York Times piece.There was Jack (left), of Hook and Ladder Company 18, on Attorney Street.

The state’s highest court has toppled a cultural taboo — legalizing a degree of incest, at least between an uncle and niece — in a unanimous ruling. While the laws against “parent-child and brother-sister marriages . . . are grounded in the almost universal horror with which such marriages are viewed . . . there is no comparably strong objection to uncle-niece marriages,” Tuesday’s ruling reads.

Uncle Joe is making her life a living hell. Friends say Caroline ­Biden is a “hot mess” with a history of booze and pill addiction — and she blames it all on the tremendous pressure she faces being the vice president’s niece. “She would complain about it all the time,” a confidant, socialite Paul Johnson Calderon, said without a hint of sarcasm.

As local clergy prepared to celebrate the legacy of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. this weekend, some expressed dismay over the unlikely alliance between a King niece and a right-wing group. Last Sunday, the slain civil-rights leader’s niece Alveda King joined Jerry Falwell, Toney Perkins of the Family Research Council and other staunch conservatives at a Philadelphia rally in support of Supreme Court Nominee Judge Samuel Alito. Perkins is best known for having once paid former Ku Klux Klan head David Duke for his mailing list. Democrats had been sharply critical of Alito’s record on voting rights and...

11/21/2005 - BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) -- When serving half a world away from home, many servicemembers treasure the little tokens they brought with them to remind them of home. Senior Master Sgt. Michael Brimmer, the 332nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron first sergeant, has more than that -- his niece, Army Spc. Angela Fekken. Specialist Fekken, a 1436th Engineer Company truck driver, has been deployed to Logistics Support Area Anaconda almost a year. That affected her uncle's decision to come here. "I volunteered to deploy and was given a list of places I could go to," Sergeant Brimmer said....
