During Saturday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” House Speaker Mike Johnson gave his take on his inability to work with the other side of the aisle, which was demonstrated during last week’s passage of the continuing resolution to fund the federal government. Johnson argued those difficulties showed there were Democrats who hated Trump more than they loved the country. “[S]o the next big thing on our plate is the reconciliation process, and that’s what we call the one big, beautiful bill,” he said. “And in that will be all of our campaign commitments, the promises we made on...

(NEXSTAR) — Move over sparkling waters and hard seltzers, there’s a new colorful, trendy drink taking over the beverage industry: prebiotic sodas. There are entire brands dedicated to prebiotic soda, like startups Poppi and Olipop, which launched in the last decade but have quickly caught attention as alternatives to traditional soda. The market for prebiotic sodas has grown so much, in fact, that Coca-Cola recently launched its own line under the Simply brand. “We found that consumers, especially wellness-focused Gen Z-ers and Millennials, were really interested in juice and prebiotic sodas,” Becca Kerr, CEO of Nutrition for The Coca‑Cola Company,...

Preliminary results show how Pacific Palisades voted in the 2024 general election. Former President Donald Trump won a second presidential term after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris last Wednesday. The Democratic candidate won all of California’s 54 electoral college votes, while also having a stronghold across LA County (save for a few precincts in the Beverly Hills and Glendale areas), according to data reported by the Los Angeles Times. Ballots cast in the five voting precincts that largely constitute the Palisades (9005918A, 9005919A, 9005929A, 9001382A, 9007693D) overwhelmingly went to Harris compared with the now President-elect and independent candidate Robert F....

Life may never be the same for Los Angeles residents, with many losing their homes, belongings, and even family members. Hearts are bleeding across the nation as Californians endure a real-life nightmare. During such a devastating time, many wonder how to support those affected. Newsweek reached out to Claudia Giolitti-Wright, a licensed psychotherapist, to learn what not to do when trying to help. "When something terrible happens, people often try to look on the bright side or point out that someone else has it worse. Unfortunately, this approach isn't helpful—especially when lives have been completely turned upside down," Giolitti-Wright explained.

Former Biden Department of Energy official Sam Brinton claimed to have been beaten by their father, who allegedly also held a gun to their head and forced them into conversion therapy. However, their family has spoken out, denying the accusations and using police records to show that no abuse ever occurred. "I’m in this constant state of fear," Brinton previously claimed. "My dad has held a gun up to my head multiple times." Brinton claimed they were continuously punched and sent to the emergency room at least seven times after coming out to their family when they were just 11-years-old....

A 36-year-old trans dad from Seattle who identifies as non-binary and queer has been documenting how they “took advantage of the body organs I was born with” to give birth after a one-night stand during their medical transition. Danny Wakefield came out as transmasculine — a person assigned female at birth but who identifies with masculinity — when they were 25, went on testosterone treatment for nine years and had a double mastectomy in Florida during the transition. “Although I identify as transmasculine rather than male, people often read me as a cisgender gay man. So I’m aware that it...

The black hole considered until now as “the closest to Earth” was discovered in 2020 just a thousand light years from our planet. However, a group of scientists concluded that it consists of a “vampire two-star system” in a rare and short-lived evolutionary stage. The theory of the experts is that the binary system was captured shortly after one of the stars sucked the atmosphere of the other. In this line and according to the scientific journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, they would be two luminous stars, but with very different angular separations and orbital movements. The study was carried out...

Fifth-grade girls who attended a science camp organized by the Los Alamitos Unified School District in California stayed in cabins with men who “identify” as non-binary — or not accepting their biological sex. The parents learned from their daughters that the male counselors used “they/them” pronouns and stayed with them in their cabins for three nights at Camp Pali. The Los Angeles-based KTLA reported on the incident: “Per California law, we place staff in cabins they identify with,” Emmi Teige, assistant director of Camp Pali, confirmed. “I contacted the school and asked them if they were about to confirm that...

Wayne County Sheriff Allyn Walker, a trans assistant professor at Old Dominion University (ODU) and author of the book A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, was put on administrative leave by the college he/she/they/zhim-zhim works for on Tuesday.The book tries to normalize pedophilia. Apparently, that didn’t go over well with some folks. Old Dominion issued a statement:Reactions to Dr. Walker’s research and book have led to concerns for their safety and that of the campus. Furthermore, the controversy over Dr. Walker’s research has disrupted the campus and community environment and is interfering with the institution’s...

Download PDF flyer From Tampa Bay, Florida, to Portland, Oregon, from Los Angeles to Boston, people took to the streets Jan.30-Feb 1. They organized car caravans, speakouts and dropped banners demanding that the government immediately cancel the rents and mortgages, house the homeless and stop evictions.Actions took place in 30 cities as national and local eviction moratoriums have only paused millions of evictions, and a third of the population can’t pay their bills and are unable to catch up with the rent. An eviction crisis looms that will hit oppressed communities, already especially affected by the pandemic, the hardest. Meanwhile,...

Asia Kate Dillon, an actor whom I just love from Showtime’s “Billions,” has scored a first: a non binary actor who was born a woman and nominated as Best Supporting Actor from that show by the Critics Choice Awards. Dillon prefers to use the singular “they” pronoun, which isn’t grammatical but hey– we’re in new territory here. They plays Taylor, the genius assistant to Damian Lewis’s Bobby Axelrod on the show. Dillon is not the only nominee from “Billions.” The great Paul Giamatti scored a Best Actor nomination, as well. For some reason “Billions” doesn’t get much love from awards...

A PARENT who identifies as a “non-binary trans person” is demanding their baby is given the world’s first “gender unknown” birth certificate. Canadian Kori Doty, who has a moustache and claims to be neither male or female, has been fighting to keep Searyl Atli’s gender off government records since giving birth last November. Doty, who prefers to be referred to as “they” rather than “he” or “she”, told CBC they are “raising Searyl in such a way that until they have the sense of self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are.” They added: “I’m recognising them...

Who are they anyway? They have to do this and they have to do that. They should have done this and should have done that. When are they gonna do something about this? I wish they would (fill in the blank) already ! They are so stupid. They are so corrupt. They are a bunch of crooks. No pronoun gets more use and abuse than the all-purpose, ubiquitous third-person plural “they,” or the objective form “them.” But exactly who are they? They, when unidentified as a specific entity, or group, or institution, are simultaneously the party to which we place...

They say I need to figure out what my readers want to read, and write that.  They say I’m supposed to get inside your heads and touch your emotions, hopes and fears.  They. You know, the experts.  People who know.  They say a lot of things.  Trouble is, I don’t listen to them.  Plus, my mind doesn’t work the same way as most people.  Really, it doesn’t. One of my few skills is writing computer programs.  I’ve been coding since I was 13, and that would warm Bill Gates’ heart, since coding is now considered a basic survival skill.  When...

A Marine Corps veteran is being sued by his Cypress-area homeowners association because the flagpole on which he flies the United States and Marine Corps flags does not meet his subdivision's design guidelines. Mike Merola and his lawyer, Lee Thweatt, say this is a classic case of overreach by a nitpicking homeowners association. Lakeland Village Community Association says it is seeking to enforce its rules evenly on all residents. Standing in his backyard in a black T-shirt bearing an eagle and the American flag, the 60-year-old Merola called that argument "a lame excuse." After his application to erect a 20-foot...

There is a planned Third World War, which will be nuclear and biological. Our source believes that this is on track to be initiated within the next 18-24 months. • It is planned to begin with a strike by Israel on Iran. Either Iran or China will be provoked into a nuclear response. After a brief nuclear exchange, there will be a ceasefire. The world will be thrown into fear and chaos - all carefully engineered. • The extreme state of tension will be used to justify heavy social and military controls in all western first world nations. Plans are...

America’s most inept mayor is at it again. Seems like it’s taking him too long to turn NOLA into the Chocolate City of his dreams but he knows why. New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin has suggested that the slow recovery and rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina — which has prevented many black former residents from returning — is part of a plan to change the racial makeup and political leadership of his and other cities. “They are studying this model of natural disasters, dispersing the community and changing the electoral process in that community.” That’s right, boys...

Neanderthals and Humans: Perhaps They Never Met By Robin Lloyd Special to LiveScience posted: 08 May 2006 The number of years that modern humans are thought to have overlapped with Neanderthals in Europe is shrinking fast, and some scientists now say that figure could drop to zero. Neanderthals lived in Europe and western Asia from 230,000 to 29,000 years ago, petering out soon after the arrival of modern humans from Africa. There is much debate on exactly how Neanderthals went extinct. Theories include climate change and inferior tools compared to those made by modern humans. Anthropologists also disagree on whether...
