I'd probably have to take out a bank loan if I had picked up some meat and produce. You purchased 1-1/2 lbs. of meat, for starters

Thanks for nothing, DJT voters. Thanks for less than nothing.
Under President Biden, Washington spent four years making affordable electricity more difficult to produce, and the result was higher prices for consumers. Just days ago, though, the Trump administration took a major step in reversing that trend by scrapping a Biden-era power-plant rule that was forcing inexpensive plants to shut down.
The Biden rule was sold as climate policy, but its real function was to shutter coal plants and discourage new natural-gas plants. It required existing coal plants to capture most of their carbon emissions using expensive, inefficient, and unproven carbon-capture technology. The cost meant many plants would operate at a loss, so they planned to close.
Of course, the costs didn’t stop there. When a paid-off coal plant producing reliable, low-cost power is forced offline years early, and a utility has to add unreliable, expensive solar and wind to its portfolio, the consumer foots the bill. Utilities pass all these costs on to ratepayers in the form of higher utility bills.
The EPA estimates repeal will save more than $300 billion, money that would otherwise have come out of household utility bills and business operating budgets. That means much-needed relief is on the way for Americans who have been getting squeezed.
I remember my ex-hairdresser having a Trump sign that said "No inflation. Lower taxes." I want to ask her how that's working out for her now.
WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has stepped up to support embattled Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney as critics continue to blast the actress over her latest ad.
The Indiana Fever star recently spoke to the Sweeney issue during a visit with the No Hesitation podcast this week. It said she really has no issue with Sweeney’s nearly naked ad for sports betting group Novig, according to the New York Post.
“I have so many takes. But first of all, does she even gamble on sports? It’s so unauthentic. Am I surprised how she represented the brand? That’s what she made her whole career off. Don’t get me wrong, I like her,” Cunningham said.
“She sticks to her guns, and she does her thing, and she’s her. Props to her. Do I like it? Like that particular ad? Not really. I think it’s like, what are we doing? But again, I’m not surprised. That’s what she’s known for. She’s making her money. Go do your thing, sis,” Cunningham told the podcast audience.
...
“But why are girls mad? That is literally what she does. Why is anyone mad? It is a gambling ad: men, sports, pretty much naked women. Of course, that’s going to draw attention. Again, do I agree with it? Morally, I think it’s kind of weird, but each to their own. Go do your thing, sis,” she added.

On Thursday, Starbucks agreed to pay $1 million to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs and comply with civil rights laws following a lawsuit from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R). The lawsuit accused Starbucks of using quotas and preferential treatment that discriminated against white employees, citing the company’s 2020 diversity targets, which included filling 40 percent of retail and manufacturing roles and 30 percent of corporate roles with employees from minority backgrounds by 2025. Executive bonuses were tied to achieving the company’s diversity targets. The agreement applies to all Starbucks operations across the United States. The company has also agreed to refuse participation with any organization seeking to increase the racial diversity of its board of directors. “We’re pleased to have resolved this matter without admission of wrongdoing and appreciate the constructive engagement of the Attorney General’s Office throughout this process,” said Pilar Ramos, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Starbucks. The lawsuit was initially filed in December 2025 after complaints that white employees and job applicants had been treated unfairly by the company, leading to allegations of “systematic discrimination.”

Carrot Top has been embroiled in a recent scandal involving accusers who claim he sent them explicit and inappropriate messages. One of the accusers, singer Brian Evans, recently launched a new lawsuit against the comedian, claiming that a $500,000 settlement offer was "portrayed as extortion" by Carrot Top's lawyer. The suit claims fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, declaratory relief, and defamation per se.
Another accuser, Zachary Defazio, recently came forward to back Evans and make claims of his own. "I am a victim of Scott 'Carrot Top' Thompson," he said in a legal filing.
