Driving kids to Vacation Bible School would become a misdemeanor in Nebraska if a recent proposal by Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt (D) passed into law. Hunt proposed to "amend" a bill that would protect children from adult-themed drag performances (LB371) by striking all the language and replacing it with similar language to bar children from attending a "religious indoctrination camp" instead.Hunt's amendment (AM74), filed on January 23, defined a religious indoctrination camp as "a camp, vacation Bible study, retreat, lock-in, or convention held by a church, youth group, or religious organization for the purpose of indoctrinating children with a specific...

President Joe Biden plans to leave for a vacation in the Virgin Islands on Tuesday after the United States was blasted with record-cold temperatures and winter weather. The president and his family leave Tuesday evening for St. Croix and plan to stay on the island for the rest of the week to celebrate New Year’s Day. Meanwhile, about 50 people were killed across the United States as a bomb cyclone of Arctic air created record winter storms and freezing temperatures across most of the country.

Pollster Frank Luntz said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that former President Donald Trump should “take a very long vacation” after several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs. Luntz said, “Donald Trump is still the number one Republican in America today. There’s no doubt about it. But his overall patina has been flawed considerably or darkened considerably. And in the Atlanta — the Atlanta suburbs, he is a negative. And this is something that his candidates did not really understand. And I’m not convinced that he understands either, that for every one voter who thinks he’s God, you’ve got one...

Honolulu police have opened a first-degree robbery investigation after three male suspects allegedly robbed a visitor in Waikiki. Police said the suspects approached the victim, 23, in the 400 block of Ena Road brandishing knives and a handgun and demanded money at about 2 p.m. Wednesday.

I’m old enough to remember when Democrats were ripping on President Trump for spending too much time on vacation. With the world in a far worst series of predicaments, Joe Biden has spent nearly TWICE as much time as Trump did vacationing at this point in his presidency. He has even vacationed more than Golfer-in-Chief, Barack Obama.

CNN analyst Van Jones opined that "coming into Labor Day weekend, you are starting to see the beginnings of what could be a blue wave. The disastrous Afghanistan exit, runaway inflation, the growing ineffectiveness of the covid vaccines, and murder rates not seen since the 1990s are just fading memories. Democrat voters will rally to vote for the Party's traditional values—more abortions, more income redistribution, higher taxes, LGBTQ rights, and clean energy. Don't be surprised when you see a bigger Democrat majority in the House and Senate after the votes are counted in November." He went on to dismiss complaints...

WASHINGTON — Maybe it’s all he ever wanted. President Biden is taking heat for spending 40% of his days in office “on vacation” after he was away from the White House for two-thirds of August. Biden’s weekend jaunts and vacations spanned 234 days — with seven in 10 of them spent at his homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware — out of 589 days in office. RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told The Post that Republicans believe it’s a winning campaign issue — alongside concerns over the effects of Biden-era spending, including Democrats’ $1.9 trillion stimulus package last year and...

Joe Biden capped off his lengthy vacation without stepping out of his beach house for three straight days, and the self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” in legacy media do not seem to care that much as to what exactly he is doing behind closed doors. ... All week/weekend long, the White House reporters camped out in Rehoboth Beach, Del., waited for Biden to leave for a nice bike ride or walk on the beach. And waited. But after decamping from Wilmington for his beach house in Rehoboth on Saturday evening, the president didn’t do much of anything,” Politico’s writers observed. “As...

President Joe Biden’s staff continue trumpeting the president’s legislative victories but have allowed the president to disappear into his August vacation. Earlier this week, Biden appeared at the White House briefly to sign his massive green energy and health care bill but has not taken questions from reporters at the White House or appeared for any interviews to promote his agenda.

Per the FAA, Biden is expected to remain in Wilmington until Saturday AM before going to his Rehoboth Beach home until Wednesday — Zeke Miller

"The man who daily cosplays as ‘president'[SIC] after helping steal the entire 2020 election (House, Senate and Presidency; yes, he did election theft deniers) has been accused of being tone deaf, and quite honestly ‘deaf deaf’ too. But it is the last 18 months spending government money we don’t have (AKA new debt) and also reaching directly into our pockets via his 100% intentionally created and unnecessary Bidenflation that has people right of center dismayed (and leftists strangely cheering for more). Nonetheless he has finally listened to the wails of the great unwashed (due to droughts and the cost of...

Help me out, fellow Bibliophiles! I read a delightful rhyming book to my kids about a British man who takes a vacation to the beach he keeps losing things along the way. One of the lines is, "Oh, well, what's done is done. I think I'll picnic in the sun." Part of the charm of this book is finding the places where these items were forgotten. For example, the umbrella was left on the bus and we see it in the window as the bus pulls away. CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THAT WONDERFUL BOOK?

Justice Clarence Thomas has spent the last twenty summers driving to nearly forty states in his RV often meeting people who don’t have a clue he’s a judge. He spends his vacations taking in the natural beauty of the country and meeting its people.

Cruise stocks were tumbling to their lowest point since 2020 on Thursday as fears intensified over rising inflation and a potential recession. Fueling the selloff were concerns that consumers will be curbing discretionary spending in response to rising prices and economic uncertainty. There’s also an uptick in Covid-19 cases that may be increasing consumer reluctance to hop on a cruise. The seven-day moving average for known Covid-19 cases has hovered around 100,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and likely is higher amid an increased reliance on at-home testing kits that don’t get reported to public officials....

Even though Memorial Day is three weeks away, Chicago police officials are ramping up staffing to head off possible holiday weekend violence later this month. An internal CPD memo obtained by the ABC7 I-Team Monday night, and now being read at police district roll calls, orders that all days off be canceled for one full week between May 24 and 31.
