I see so many people around me that are in debt or very poor that have a doordash addiction spending $30 on one prepared meal I think you can get good "deals" for that but still if you spent the same amount on a grocery delivery from same site you could get 3-4 meals that you cook for that much its sad to see people buy from the same cattle feeder all day and another reason they will stay where they are financially its all the same cattle feed from cysco too like spending $30 on one cooked pizza could get you over 10 pizzas that you cook or jazz up yourself
After three days of the president being locked away deep inside the White House and completely hidden from public view, the Trump administration abruptly informed the gathered reporters at just 11:59 this morning that the president would not be making any public appearances for yet another day. For a man who thrives on public attention, this raised all sorts of questions and only intensified the speculation surrounding an unsubstantiated report claiming that Israel had shared a serious security warning involving senior U.S. officials and Donald Trump. According to that report, the threat was so serious that multiple Trump administration officials were immediately relocated to military bases, and Trump himself was being held inside one of the most secure buildings on the planet, the White House. Other reports also claimed that he had canceled a visit to a golf course scheduled for Saturday because of these safety concerns. With all that is happening, the travel nightmare still unfolding, the war in Iran, the outrage over Pete Hegseth, and Donald Trump’s growing unpopularity, we could only imagine the weight of what was being discussed behind closed doors. Add to that the thoughts that must be running through the mind of a president who has reportedly been warned that a foreign adversary may be planning to target him and his closest advisers with explosive-laden drones. Under circumstances like these, we would expect the president to be spending every waking moment focused on the threats facing our country, working with his advisers to protect the American people, and making sure that the government was doing everything possible to respond to the growing number of crises unfolding under his watch. We would also expect him to be communicating with the American people, reassuring us that someone was in charge and that our safety was his highest priority. So, knowing just how serious the administration claims all of this is, what Donald Trump actually shared on social media today was possibly more revealing than a press conference. The president started his morning posting spree at 9:54 by attacking the governor of California, “Gavin Newscum.” By 2:31 this afternoon, he was posting photographs that showed a dilapidated public golf course in Washington, D.C. At 2:35, while reports about an Iranian drone assassination plot were starting to circulate online, the President of the United States decided that was the right time to post a rambling, unhinged statement about how he was going to turn something he called “Trash Island” into “the Best Golf Course anywhere in the World.” In that post, he attacked a federal judge named Ana Reyes for blocking his renovation plans. He bragged about fixing “83 Fountains, Monuments, and Statues.” He promised 50 percent discounts on greens fees for D.C. residents. He claimed crime in Washington was down 91 percent, “a RECORD.” He said the golf course would host the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup, all of which would require approvals he does not have from organizations he does not control. He said it would be beautiful and that everyone was proud and grateful. He published post after post of golf course pictures over and over again. At 5:00, he attacked Newsom again, this time comparing death-row prisoners to Hannibal Lecter. At 7:50, he claimed the stock market had lost three trillion dollars because investors did not like the midterm results. He kept posting until nearly 10:00 at night. Not once since the ground stop yesterday has Donald Trump said a single word about the thousands of Americans who are right now stranded at airports across this country, desperately trying to get home. He didn’t comment about the families sleeping on terminal floors. He said nothing about the more than seven thousand flights that were delayed and over two thousand canceled in a single day at the peak of this crisis. He does not care about the people who are spending money they do not have on last-minute hotels and rental cars because their government failed them. The president had time to write a love letter to a golf course, to attack a governor twice in one day, and to go after a federal judge, but he could not be bothered to acknowledge that his own citizens were desperate for their government to simply function. Donald Trump knows that his presidency is in freefall, and he thinks he can just ignore this and it will go away. He is wrong. We do not know what is actually happening behind the walls of the White House right now, and that is part of what makes this moment so unsettling. We do not know if the Israeli report about an Iranian drone plot is legitimate intelligence or if it is another in a long pattern of unverified warnings that American intelligence agencies have repeatedly been unable to confirm. Earlier this year, when Israel warned of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump during the NATO summit in Turkey, the CIA assessed its confidence in that intelligence as “low.” U.S. and Turkish authorities investigated the claims and did not uncover evidence of an operational plot. Some current and former intelligence officials told the Washington Post that they believed the warnings were designed to influence Trump’s decision-making and U.S. policy toward Iran. The original source of today’s report is Israel Hayom, an Israeli newspaper owned by Miriam Adelson, one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors. The story was published while Mossad Director Roman Gofman was in Washington meeting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, reportedly pressing for renewed strikes on Iran. Neither the CIA nor the White House has confirmed the report. We do not know if this is a desperate move by Benjamin Netanyahu to stay in power or if this is a distraction from a physical or mental deterioration that those around the president are trying to hide from public view. But the fact that we are once again forced to ask these questions, and that we are again left guessing about whether our president is capable of leading during a genuine crisis or whether the crisis itself has been manufactured, is troubling enough on its own. While the White House continues to leave the American people guessing about what is happening behind closed doors, people who have worked inside this administration are speaking publicly about what they witnessed. What they have to say is not reassuring. Today, John Ullyot, the former Chief Pentagon Spokesperson and a longtime Trump loyalist who once publicly advocated for Pete Hegseth’s appointment as Secretary of Defense, went on national television and called Hegseth’s tenure “beyond embarrassing at this point.” This is not a Democrat; this is someone who worked inside the Pentagon under Hegseth and left after what he described as a “Month from Hell” of chaos, leaks, purges, and dysfunction so severe that he predicted Trump would fire Hegseth. He wrote in Politico that the building was in “disarray” and in the grips of a “full-blown meltdown.” He warned that bigger bombshells were coming. That was last year. In the months since Ullyot left, the situation has only gotten worse. We are going to have to see how this all plays out. Donald Trump seems to disappear for a week at a time in six-week intervals. Not to the day, but he reliably takes these “breaks.” He often returns with a grand show of strength publicly and with bruises on his hands. Each time, the questions swirl, and we are reminded just how vulnerable and fragile this administration has made our country. As I was doing research for this post, I just kept thinking about how none of this had to happen. The terror in our streets, with people being grabbed by ICE or being shot. The people now dying from preventable illnesses, the normalization of cruelty and chaos. We wouldn’t have had a new forever war, or our taxpayer dollars being siphoned off by Trump and his inner circle. We wouldn’t be paying sky-high gas prices, either. None of this had to happen. In January, when the new Democratic-controlled House and Senate are sworn in, the unchecked carnage that has defined this administration is going to hit a roadblock that no Truth Social post can stop. Those on the wrong side of history know this. We can expect more of them to defect from this sinking ship, and we can expect accountability to finally, slowly, begin. That is why I still have hope for America. And you should, too.
pretty much 100% of what I buy from amazon is fucken amazing I kind of do a bit of research on an item- like this belt- best frieking thing on the planet I was wearing old mans suspenders cause I have weird hips or something have to put them under my shirt -kinda incognito lol just cant keep a normal belt in place without being a goof
Who would have thought that letting a ketamine addicted, mentally unstable, billionaire with the mind of a teenager fire hundreds of thousands of government employees without doing a single audit or even taking the slightest bit of time to inquire into what these people actually do, was a bad idea. Oh that’s right, literally everyone on the planet except Donald Trump and his incompetent regime!
my neighborhood bottle collector has moved from a bicycle and trash bags to a mini van he probably pulling in more than a job hahaha its nice to see people moving on up in life -he kind of assertively gathers cans and bottles by going into peoples yards I could see him getting a lot of flack but he just takes it and goes on with his life must know who the good people are vs the loons lol I dont mind him I think god comes in many forms to test us so I am always nice to people no matter who they are
Humans get two sets of teeth in a lifetime: baby teeth, then adult teeth. Lose an adult tooth and it's gone forever. But a team in Japan believes we may be carrying the seeds of a third set, and in 2024 they began testing a drug in humans to wake them up. 🦷 The story starts with a gene called USAG-1. Researchers led by Dr. Katsu Takahashi found that this gene acts like a brake on tooth development. When they blocked it with an antibody in mice and ferrets, the animals grew new, fully formed teeth. Ferrets matter here because, like humans, they have both baby and adult teeth. In September 2024, Kyoto University Hospital and the startup Toregem Biopharma began the first human safety trial. About 30 healthy adult men who were missing at least one molar received the antibody through an IV. This first phase is mainly about checking safety, not yet about proving teeth will grow. The main target is children born with congenital anodontia, a rare condition where several teeth never develop. If the trials succeed, the team has said they hope the treatment could become available around 2030. It's early, and many promising drugs fail in later trials. But for the first time, regrowing a human tooth is being tested in real people instead of only in labs.

$30 an hour sounds pretty good… until you try living on $30 an hour in Canada. If you work 40 hours a week, that’s $62,400 a year, or about $5,200 a month BEFORE taxes. Depending on which province you live in, after federal and provincial income taxes, CPP, and EI deductions, you might actually bring home somewhere around $3,800–$4,050 a month. Now let’s spend it. Rent: $1,850 Car payment: $550 Car insurance: $200 Gas: $220 Groceries: $600 Utilities & hydro: $220 Cell phone: $80 Internet: $85 Dental, prescriptions & out-of-pocket medical: $125 Toiletries & household stuff: $150 That’s $4,080 a month. And I didn’t exactly go crazy with those numbers. There’s no $1,000 luxury SUV payment. No downtown high-rise condo. No organic health-food grocery budget. No $200 cable package. No steakhouse dinners every Friday night. It’s just… life. And look at everything that ISN’T included in that $4,080. No OSAP or student loans. No credit card payments. No childcare. No RRSP or TFSA contributions. No emergency fund. No new winter boots or clothes. No gym membership. No streaming services. No vacations. No restaurants. No Christmas presents. No birthday gifts. No vet bills. No oil changes, winter tires, or car repairs. Hell, I didn’t even give this person a haircut. One $900 car repair or a single root canal can put the entire month on a credit card. Add a kid and the math gets even uglier. Even with $10-a-day daycare—if you can actually get off a waitlist to find a spot—$30 an hour starts feeling almost impossible on one income. That’s what gets lost when we talk about wages. Someone hears “$30 an hour” and thinks that person is doing pretty well. Someone actually MAKING $30 an hour is looking at their chequing account wondering where the hell all their money went. $62,400 a year isn’t nothing. But in Canada in 2026, it sure as hell doesn’t buy what most people think it does.
BREAKING🚨 The federal government cleared a Wisconsin state trooper to work in this country until 2030. ICE just shackled him and is moving to deport him to South Africa. Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe, 21, was waiting to board a domestic flight at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison on Thursday when ICE agents walked up to him. He told them he had a federal work permit and a pending asylum application. According to Van Der Merwe, the officers said they "did not care," then put him in handcuffs and shackles and took him to immigration detention in Dodge County. He's still there. ICE's own detainee locator lists him at the Dodge Detention Facility. Van Der Merwe came to the U.S. legally from South Africa as a child. His family applied for asylum and has waited seven years for an interview. He's included on his father's pending asylum application, and his federal work authorization runs through 2030. He wanted to serve in the military, but his pending immigration status kept him out, so he went into law enforcement. He earned a criminal justice degree from New Mexico Military Institute and became a Wisconsin state trooper about a year ago. He lives in Onalaska and works out of the Tomah post. State Patrol hiring rules allow noncitizens with valid work authorization to serve as troopers. DHS calls him an "illegal alien." The agency says his permission to stay ran out in September 2019 and that a work permit or pending application does not give him legal status. A DHS spokesperson also attacked what they called the "horrendous Biden-era policy" that let immigrants fly within the country. The spokesperson said the administration wants people it considers illegal to be unable to fly "unless it is out of our country to self-deport." His attorney, Marc Christopher, is seeking his release on bond, which is expected to take about two weeks. "ICE says it is going after people who break the law. Here, it has detained someone whose job is to uphold it," Christopher said. "Now the same government that authorized him to work has locked him up." Christopher is calling on Wisconsin's congressional delegation to demand Van Der Merwe's release.
In September 2019, an expectant two-year-old pit bull named Mama Pickles was found wandering the streets in North Carolina. When animal control contacted her owners, they decided not to take her back, leaving the heavily pregnant pup at risk in an overcrowded shelter. 🐾 Fortunately, Pits & Giggles Rescue, a dedicated nonprofit specializing in caring for pregnant and nursing dogs, took her in immediately. Volunteer photographer Lauren Casteen Sykes decided Mama Pickles deserved to be celebrated, dressing her in a flower crown for a sunset maternity shoot where she proudly showed off her giant belly. Just days later, Pickles safely gave birth to eight healthy baby girls. Sykes returned for a newborn session with the proud mom smiling beside her basket of sleeping pups, and every single one,including Mama Pickles herself, was spayed and placed into a loving forever family. 🌸 Would you ever arrange a photoshoot like this to help a rescue pet find a home?

A Princeton Ph.D. whose research caught the eye of the 2024 Nobel Prize Committee cannot get hired. Dr. Jack Weis, 30, graduated summa cum laude from Rice University before earning his doctorate from one of the most prestigious universities in the world, and it has not mattered. Over nearly two years, he sent out more than 2,300 applications across scientific research, software engineering, and even entry-level food service roles. The result: rejections and silence. He is back living with his parents in Salt Lake City. There was a brief window where things looked up. He landed a contract training AI models at $70 an hour, but it wrapped up in March 2026 and left him job-hunting all over again. Now he is registered for the LSAT, weighing a pivot into law, and also eyeing entrepreneurship as a way out. His story has cracked open a wider conversation about a U.S. job market that is quietly bruising even the most credentialed applicants, where elite degrees and Nobel-adjacent research apparently cannot guarantee so much as a callback.
