For all of his strutting and boasting about his visit to the White House, Bill Maher got Trump pissed off and the longest post in Truth Social's history: www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/bil...
I'd say that if the church can afford hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements, they can damn well afford to be taxed on their properties. Exemption for being a fairy tale maker should not exeist. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
It's about time sellers stop thinking they're going to win the lottery by pricing their houses so high that nobody can afford them. Call it a return to reality. Long overdue. www.independent.co.uk/us/money/hom...
There's a reason Meghan is estranged from her father. She wants nothing to do with him and has vowed he will never see her children. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It's not "we're making a freaking fortune" but he is, for sure. He should have kept his fucking mouth shut, but you can't do that with dementia patients. They have no filter. He really doesn't give a rat's ass about you or anyone else: www.thedailybeast.com/trump-sparks...
Whoops! The leopards have struck again! www.thedailybeast.com/maga-blogger...

Tom Kean disappeared and so did his chances of re-election. Why should voters let him back into office when he doesn't even show the hell up without explanation for months? You and I would have been fired. He should be too: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There has never been such a critical emergency for computers since 1999 for computers and websites. This one is real, though. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I keep my thermostat at 63. Yes, that's cold, but you learn to adapt to it by wearing layers-at 68, the gas heater runs more and empties faster. Can't afford to keep filling it all the time. www.the-independent.com/life-style/h...
But it's AI cutting into the workforce that's driving layoffs, too. The greed factor is just too overpowering for most companies. www.independent.co.uk/us/money/ame...
This company is doing something right-they haven't had a layoff or downsized in 75 years. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
So now we find that Sacha Baron Cohen is a Trump supporter? No, he's not brilliant at all, you stupid twat. He's a billionaire because he ripped off people. www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.
This is why it's dangerous to trust a poll-they can lie on purpose and change the outcome of an election. Don't trust polls. They're not a vote! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
If you're a senior and buying a Medicare Advantage plan, be forewarned that they will kick you off if they don't make enough money from you. Traditional Medicare doesn't do that. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
The casualty list for climate change is going to be very high. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
I think ALL Bitcoin ATM's in any store in this country should be removed. They're nothing but scam machines. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/10/22/n...
