A donut shop in Scottsdale, Arizona, struggling to make ends meet has received a huge boost from its community. The Local Donut’s owner Daniel Tes and his team start late at night to make sure their shelves are full of sweet treats for the next morning’s customers, and when he opened the store 10 years ago, he knew the hard work it would involve, Fox 10 reported Friday. However, business slowed over the summer and Tes said although many other shops experience the same thing, this year was pretty rough. “We felt the pressure after spring training to get things…
Monday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) said President Donald Trump is engaged in a “smash-and-grab” of the country. Alsobrooks said, “The truth is, this president took our country into a war without a strategic aim. He had no idea how to get our country out of this war. How we voted here, and I voted 13 different times to end the war. And what we know, as a matter of fact, is that our kids, while this war is going on, our kids are dying. At the same time, this president’s children are getting rich. The cost…
The House Ethics Commitee announced Tuesday it will investigate Rep. Max Miller, shortly after the Ohio Republican called on the panel to probe allegations of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife in an attempt to clear his name. “In light of all the renewed interest in my family affairs I am going to file my own paperwork for an ethics investigation into myself to clear my name from these horrific attacks on myself and family,” the Ohio Republican said in an X post. “I have absolutely nothing to hide.” Within hours, the committee said in a statement it would investigation…
American military equipment on euro banknotes would be a fitting metaphor for the US-led bloc As the European Central Bank weighs how its new euro banknotes will look, NATO’s airborne surveillance unit has a novel suggestion: plaster the European notes with images of American military hardware.In a recent post on its Facebook page, NATO’s Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) Force shared its vision for the upcoming series of Euro notes, a US-made Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft soaring over the fields and forests of Europe. On the €20 note, the E-3 is accompanied by what appear to be two…
CCTV video has surfaced of an Australian nurse using years of Jiu-Jitsu training to take down a violent patient. Daniel Nelson subdued a patient after he was attacked by the intoxicated man. The incident happened in 2024 at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Queensland but Daniel Nelson posted the CCTV video this week to bring awareness to the dangers of dealing with violent patients. “What if he’d picked a nurse half my size? A new graduate? A student? Someone who simply couldn’t defend themselves?” Daniel Nelson said. Nelson escorted the patient out of the emergency department when he…
The digital platform Capitol CNCT is helping young congressional staffers identify “bad bosses” and toxic offices without fear of backlash. The overall platform is described as a tool aimed to keep congressional staffers “connected — to each other, to opportunities, and to life in D.C. beyond their office walls.” “Built by a former staffer, for the staffers who came after him,” the website, which was founded by former staffer David Tennent, reads. However, there is a new facet of the website garnering attention. It is called “The Scoop” and allows staffers to anonymously review the offices they have worked in,…
The widely anticipated bounce in the polls for Britain’s Labour government after deposing its leader and installing a new one seems to have barely materialised, with the latest national poll again giving Nigel Farage’s Reform UK a narrow lead. Polling by YouGov has put Reform UK in first place nationally at 23 per cent, very slightly up from a dip to 22 per cent last week, after falling from 25 back in early July and June. Meanwhile, the governing Labour Party remains on 22 per cent, pushing it into second place. The Conservative Party — until recently a centuries-old dominant…
An unproven Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer’s billion-dollar deal championed by then-Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) has crumbled in central North Carolina. The deal struck in 2022 by Cooper saw the state commit $1.2 billion of taxpayer money to VinFast, a Vietnamese-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, as the two-term governor sought to implement Green New Deal policies in his last term in office. Cooper is now running for U.S. Senate against Republican nominee Michael Whatley. At a scheduled monthly meeting on July 27, Chatham County commissioners terminated their end of the agreement, saying the company failed to meet performance obligations and project deadlines. Chatham County sits 35…
Todd Blanche picked up an important GOP vote Tuesday for his nomination as attorney general — Sen. John Curtis of Utah — likely leaving him just one vote shy of securing confirmation. Curtis said in a statement he plans to “support” Blanche and was pleased with the nominee’s “receptivity and understanding” of issues raised, including ending the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” created under a May settlement Blanche brokered between the IRS and President Donald Trump. The announcement came moments after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on party lines to advance Blanche’s nomination to the full Senate. Crucial to that vote was Blanche…
Public officials faced pressure from “experts” to upend the lives of everyday Americans in the name of combating COVID. But were these measures really justifiable? Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Glenn Jacobs — popularly known for his work with World Wrestling Entertainment as Kane — recalled an exchange with a certain doctor who gave no indication that lockdown measures were proven to be effective. Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, which featured former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, proved that lockdown measures enacted during COVID are still an open wound. Fauci,…
