    Thanks to The United States’ combination of lackluster train infrastructure and miserable flying experience, there often simply aren’t great choices to get places. Is the Greyhound bus our savior? No, absolutely not. Yet, despite the Greyhound’s reputation as as a last resort option, I’ve taken it several times (not as a last resort!) over the last few years.

    While the U.S. Supreme Court is deciding whether to uphold state bans on the use of puberty blockers as well as hormone treatment for minors who think they might be transgender, the Washington Post is hyping both procedures, especially puberty blockers. This hype was provided by Casey Parks whose job description describes her as a "Social issues reporter covering gender and family." Or you can enjoy her leftist-celebrated book about her "queer lineage."The Parks pitch for puberty blockers appeared in the Post on Tuesday, "Puberty blockers, hormones: What to know about gender care for minors."

    You might have been waiting for this moment your entire life, or perhaps you’re just looking for a reason to embrace 50 years of life. But, friends, 50 is when you officially hit the “Senior” stage and start reaping the benefits of an AARP membership. While we don’t quite agree with being called a “Senior” at such a young age, we can’t deny the incredible perks of being an AARP member. Right now, you can get a year-long membership for just $9 per year. After that, a second membership for anyone in your household will be free. What comes with...

    Have not seen any articles on this [yet] but I believe Rand now has seniority to become a chairman of either Homeland Security committee or Healthcare (HELP) with the latter obviously more closer to his heart. Quote: “When we take over in November, I will be chairman of a committee and I will have subpoena power,” Paul said. “And we will get to the bottom of where this virus came from.”

    Joe Biden is considering sending American troops to operate a missile defence system in Israel as the country prepares for an exchange of attacks with Iran. The Pentagon has reportedly discussed deploying a Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) missile battery, which could be used to intercept Iranian missiles, and would be operated by US military personnel. It comes as Washington prepares for Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack of Oct 1, which is expected within days and could include a missile strike on military facilities in Iran. Israel’s retaliation is expected to provoke a counter-strike from Iran – a...

    Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump says he believes Israel should strike Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to the Islamic Republic’s recent missile barrage. The former president, speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina, refers to a question posed to Democratic President Joe Biden this week about the possibility of Israel targeting Iran’s nuclear program. “They asked him, what do you think about Iran, would you hit Iran? And he goes, ‘As long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff.’ That’s the thing you want to hit, right?” Trump tells a town hall style event in Fayetteville, near a...

    Mia Khalifa, who has been an outspoken critic of the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, said she despised the U.S. government during an interview with British-American broadcaster Louis Theroux. The model and influencer made the comments on an episode of Theroux's podcast released on Tuesday, in which she described America as the "country of capitalism, it's the American dream, there's no limit to what you can accomplish there," but added, "I despise the American government, and the infrastructure of America and everything that it stands for." Khalifa said she understood the appeal of "the American dream" but "it's...

The 55-year-old, who is promoting his upcoming comedy show Kumar Uncut, was asked if he had ever wanted to be a female. "Yes, when I was very young. But I changed my mind," he admitted candidly.

    Joy Behar stunned the audience of “The View” by casually stating she would be interested in pursuing a same-sex relationship in the future. The television talk show host made it clear that she hadn’t pursued a lesbian encounter yet, but at this stage of her life, she seems to be keeping her options quite open.

    Chinese electric auto-giant BYD has released a bold supercar concept through its premium Fang Cheng Bao brand. The Super 9 rocks no roof, the barest hint of windscreen, and lascivious scissor doors – and it's apparently headed for production. BYD is the world’s largest EV producer. It produced 20% of the 10 million EVs sold globally last year, from Tesla (13%), Volkswagen (9%) and General Motors (6%) – those are all very rough figures for simplification purposes. For stats – go here. It is also the dominant brand in the world’s largest and fastest growing automotive market, at a time...

    1. Casu marzu, Italy Sardinia is a beautiful island off the coast of Italy, and it’s known for its traditional foods. One of the most famous (or infamous) dishes is casu marzu, a cheese infested with live maggots. The maggots make the cheese so pungent and strong-tasting; some even say it’s an acquired taste. If you’re feeling brave, try this maggot cheese for yourself – just be sure to remove the maggots before you eat it! Casu marzu means “rotten cheese” or “maggoty cheese,” depending on your translation preferences. Its name comes from its main ingredient—sheep’s milk—and its distinct texture:...

    "Honestly, I haven’t been swimming in ages, because I haven’t found anything I feel comfortable with." That's the DM I received when I asked Col Connelly (1/2 of non-binary, lesbian influencer couple @heycolanda) for gender neutral and non-binary swimwear recommendations. "A lot of queer/trans folx avoid swimming, honestly," Col explained to me via DM. Connelly's response basically confirmed what I already had already witnessed firsthand in my own life as I watched my trans-feminine sibling shoot down every family beach vacation since they began their transition. After *finally* getting my sibling to agree to a week in Florida and...
