Lady Gaga’s dog walker was shot, the dog was stolen, and the suspect is finally dealt justice – and wow, it sure is harsh! James Howard Jackson, the man who stole Lady Gaga’s dog last year while shooting her dog walker, was given a 21-year prison sentence after he accepted a plea deal. Detectives who worked on the case don’t think the criminals were aware the dogs belonged to the famous musician; instead, they think the group was motivated by the French bulldogs’ high value as a breed, which can reach thousands of dollars. According to the Los Angeles County…

NO CHANCE! With the new tipping system at Starbucks, that is exactly the inconvenience customers are finding themselves in. In May, the initiative was announced by the world-famous coffee shop chain, in order to…

In order to save money, the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet is cutting into many of its operations and sending some employees home for good. One of them was Chris Cillizza. This is the result of broader cost controls that have continued at the parent company since it merged Discovery Communications with WarnerMedia, which will result in a smaller employee base and less original programming. An ending to one of the nation’s longest-running morning programs is also included in the move, as well as paring back on the number of non-staff contributors utilized on air. But to a bevy of true-crime…

This is what Gingrich wrote on his blog: “Despite terrible problems with the economy, crime, and the border (which led many analysts, me included, to assume the GOP would make big…

Disney’s recent movie ‘Strange World’ was off to a terrible start and could possibly lose over $100 million. With $11.9 million from 4,174 North American theaters over the weekend and $18.6 million over the five-day holiday frame, Disney’s “Strange World” debuted dramatically behind expectations. The animated feature was expected to earn $30 million to $40 million between the five-day holiday frame before projections were revised downward. Even those figures would have been unspectacular to start. In modern times, inaugural ticket sales for “Strange World” now register as one of Disney’s worst opening weekends arriving ever-so-slightly ahead of its pandemic-era release…

San Francisco approves police use of robots armed with explosive charges. Following an emotionally charged debate that reflected divisions on the politically liberal board over support for law enforcement, it was voted by Supervisors in San Francisco to give city police the ability to use potentially lethal, remote-controlled robots in emergency situations. Despite strong objections from civil liberties and other police oversight groups, the majority agreed to grant police the option, in an 8-3 vote. The authority would lead to the further militarization of a police force already too aggressive with poor and minority communities, the opponents argued. A member…

President Joe Biden’s call for Congress to intervene in the Railroad union’s contract dispute was slammed by blue collar union union workers. The one union said that the move undercuts their efforts to improve working conditions and Biden’s claim to be a pro-labor leader. Lawmakers will be asked to vote this week to impose the terms of the deals the 12 unions agreed to before an original strike deadline in September, as Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say, even though they were rejected by four of those unions, who represent more than half of the 115,000 rail workers. But…
