Trump’s Truth Social is facing an obstacle. The app wasn’t approved by Google and is not available on the Google Play Store. According to Google, the Truth Social app does not have any effective means for moderating user-generated content. This is seen as a violation of the store’s terms of service. Truth Social was promoted by former President Donald Trump as a “free-speech” alternative to Twitter sometime after he was banned from the platform due to his tweets relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In an attempt to block Congress from confirming Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential…

During the heat wave that’s expected to last through Labor Day, Californians will likely be asked to ease off on the air conditioning, and anything else that consumes electricity.

Flex Alerts are voluntary calls for conservation during the afternoon and evening hours when energy use tends to soar. The things the residents will be asked to do are to avoid using dishwashers or other large appliances, turn…

Defendant Alec Baldwin is being sued again by the widow and sisters of a US Marine killed in Afghanistan during the chaotic 2021 military departure. They claim the actor exposed them to online vitriol following accusations he made against one of the women. They are seeking at least $25 million in damages.

Bill Barr, an ex-attorney general, blasted some conservatives for “pandering to outrage” following the dramatic FBI raid on ex-president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Barr further explained why he made that statement. Barr praised how the Department of Justice (DOJ) handled the raid in an episode of the “Honestly” podcast hosted by journalist Bari Weiss. However, he acknowledged that the politically motivated examination into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign for President Trump harmed people’s faith in federal law enforcement and “created the condition” for people to assume “the worst.” “So what do you say to conservatives who say, ‘Why should…

The lead pastor at the Village Church in Flower Mound, Tex., Matt Chandler, appeared to fight back tears as he told his congregation that he was taking a leave of absence. This was a move prompted by what his church’s leaders saw as inappropriate messages between him and a woman who is not his wife. Chandler explained that the leaders determined that the messages were not “romantic or s-xual.” “It was that our conversations were unguarded and unwise,” he said. About the nature of the messages, church officials went into scant detail with Chandler. Both his wife and the husband…

Joe Rogan, the so-called Spotify king, has been dethroned by actual royalty. Meghan Markle’s fresh new podcast, “Archetypes,” has reached number one on Spotify in the United States and six other countries.

With just a few days before classes begin, problems with heating and cooling in Ohio’s largest school system caused teachers across the state to continue their strike. The union says that poor conditioning is a contributing factor to the miserable classroom environment, because if the classrooms are overheated and humid, then pretty much everyone in them is miserable. As the Columbus Education Association and the Columbus City Schools Board of Education continued their standoff, union members hit the picket line for a second day. The negotiations are scheduled to resume on the afternoon of the first day of school after…

Nearing the finish line on a goal they once thought was impossible, 41-year-old Brad Ryan and his 92-year-old grandmother, Joy Ryan, will visit all 63 U.S. national parks together. In October 2015, when Brad was looking for a way to spend a three-day weekend during veterinary school, the duo from Duncan Falls, Ohio, actually kicked off their adventure.

DHS spokesperson Marsha Espinosa said in a statement that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “has terminated the Disinformation…

The 13 American service members who died one year ago in the Abbey Gate terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, were remembered by President Joe Biden. Though he did not acknowledge the role he and his administration had in the chaotic and botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden called it a “heinous terrorist attack,” in a statement. “Our nation will forever mourn their sacrifice and honor the memory of those 13 precious souls, stolen from their families, loved ones, brothers- and sisters-in-arms far too soon while performing a noble mission on behalf of our Nation,” said Biden. He then continued, saying: “They were…

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked Joe Biden in public statement on Twitter. She told Joe Biden to “Go to hell” and had some other choice words in her statement. She has appeared to talk poorly of the student loan forgiveness, despite the fact that she apparently had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven, taking a very large handout for herself but talking bad about others receiving similar treatment. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1562916200866267138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1562916200866267138%7Ctwgr%5Ed39e7f39302e9906a4ca7dab3e1506d7409a39d5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbyberry.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D19502action%3Deditclassic-editor Along with the remark Greene made on Twitter, she also shared a video of Biden saying that he did not respect MAGA Republicans.
