Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea, was sentenced to prison after her probation was revoked, as per Wisconsin’s online court records. Chelsea had previously faced drug-related and other criminal charges in Oconto and Marinette Counties. Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to drug and bail jumping charges in Marinette County and to possession of methamphetamine, felony bail jumping, and resisting an officer in Oconto County. While initially sentenced to probation, she risked prison time if she violated the terms. On October 22, court records revealed that Chelsea was sentenced to prison in her Marinette County case. Rosie O’Donnell shared a post on…

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he’s confident the House has enough votes to pass the Senate’s funding package to reopen the government. After being out of session for over 50 days, House lawmakers will need to approve the measure to end the shutdown once it clears the Senate. In the meantime, President Donald Trump is pressuring Democrats to open the government. One major problem is all the flights that are being canceled. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a warning on Friday, stating that the administration might mandate airlines to reduce up to 20 percent of flights if the…

The enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire this year unless Congress takes action to extend them. If they expire, then millions of Americans could face much higher premiums, increased out-of-pocket costs, and a rise in the number of uninsured individuals. Although Congress has the chance to address this issue before the deadline, they haven’t acted yet. And why not? Because it appears that President Donald Trump would rather get rid of ACA and get people back on the private market. That’s fine, but if ACA is still active, then the Republicans need…

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to redirect Affordable Care Act funds from insurance companies to individuals, saying it would harm the ACA’s protections for preexisting conditions. Is Adam Schiff on ACA or does he have government insurance? That’s a big question because anyone talking about ACA should be ON IT if they want to see what it’s really like. During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Schiff described the idea as a rehash of repealing the ACA, replacing it with health savings accounts, and allowing insurers to deny coverage for…

President Donald Trump declared that those opposing tariffs are “fools” and promised to allocate the revenue from these duties toward providing a $2,000 dividend for Americans. Nothing is set in stone for the $2,000 checks and it may never happen, so it’s just an idea for now. It’s likely meant to get people on board with supporting the tariffs, but if the checks never show up – then people who hoped for them will be let down and lose trust in Trump. Other critics say the American government should not be sending Americans money and that it should pay the…

A Somali restaurant in Minneapolis, Safari Restaurant, was involved in a large federal child nutrition program fraud scheme, leading to the conviction of its co-owner, Salim Said. The restaurant and its affiliated sites fraudulently received over $16 million in federal funds, with Safari itself taking about $12 million. This was part of the “Feeding Our Future” case, a nationwide scheme that stole over $250 million meant to provide free meals to low-income children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those involved created fake companies, claimed to serve millions of meals, and used false attendance records. Safari falsely claimed to serve thousands of…

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily halt a court order requiring full funding of SNAP food aid payments during the government shutdown, even though some states’ residents have already received the funds. A judge had set a deadline for the Republican administration to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by Friday. However, the administration appealed to suspend any orders forcing it to spend beyond the available contingency fund, opting instead to proceed with partial SNAP payments for the month. After a Boston appeals court declined to intervene immediately, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji…

As the government shutdown continues, senators worked through the weekend for the first time in hopes of reaching a resolution. This could be the first time that people in government feel what it’s like to actually go to work. Let’s be honest here folks – does anyone in government actually “work” or do most of them just sit on social media or do Fox/CNN interviews? Because what do they ever do to earn that six figure salary? I know they don’t read the bills the push through. We know this because they lump bills together because they’re too lazy to…

President Donald Trump called on Republican senators to shift federal funds from subsidizing health insurance costs under the Affordable Care Act to providing direct payments to individuals, aiming to address a key issue behind the US government shutdown. Trump said in a post: “I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over.” His remarks came as US…

If you were a fan of the original Predator movie from the late 80s, then you know how savage, cool, and badass the creature was. Fast forward 30 years to 2025 and you get the new woke version of Predator. It looks like a blue-haired feminist and the coolness and badass aspects are all missing. Spend five minutes on Twitter/X and you’ll see at least five people comparing the previous alien hunter to today’s modern version and it’s like they made the absolute worst looking Predator they could come up with. I can’t get passed the look because I think…

When you see this lavish seafood spread, but your gout tells you no, and your lack of SNAP benefits tells you yes – then you must be in Mar-a-Lago! President Donald Trump is being criticized for hosting a party that included a bunch of shrimp and stone crab claws that are somewhat expensive as the government shutdown puts SNAP benefits at risk. Democrats on social media are pushing a narrative that millions of kids are starving while people eat crab claws in Florida. Republicans are responding by saying things like “you know parties existed before” and “tell the Democrats to…

President Donald Trump shared an image about 50-year mortgages and the Internet can’t figure out if he’s trolling or dead serious. To be fair, he could just be screwing with people but Bill Pulte also mentioned it and that’s the worst part. 50-year-mortgages, if they happened, would be one of the dumbest ideas in modern history. There’s nothing great about saving $100 or so on a monthly payment and then spending like $500k more in interest over the 20 extra years on top of a typical 30-year-loan. So here’s the thing – anyone supporting this on social media is either…

Candace Owens admits not being invited to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, despite them being longtime friends. She claims they were still on good terms, despite what any rumors might have suggested. However, she did go into some conspiracy theories about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting that he had something to do with Charlie’s assassination. Owens then suggested that her lack of invite was an attempt to silence her. However, she does a podcast, so she can say anything she likes on there and she won’t be silenced. Candace Owens was quoted saying: “Like I said, the reason…

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for his abhorrent comments about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel suggested that MAGA fans were trying to blame the shooting on everyone else, as if it was a MAGA supporter who shot and killed Charlie Kirk on September 10. Kimmel was then suspended for his badly timed and insensitive remarks, something he often does only towards one side of politics, as he rarely insults or mocks the Democrats. After a short suspension, not even a week, Kimmel returned and broke down into crocodile tears as he tried to clarify his comments about Charlie Kirk: “I…

Hillary Clinton is taking heat after she said one thing, then immediately did another. The former Secretary of State and two-time presidential loser said that “we have to stop demonizing each other” and then immediately began demonizing Republicans. She said this on the heels of the Charlie Kirk assassination as intelligent Americans began blaming the media and politicians for their inflammatory rhetoric and bias. Most people would agree with the first part of Hillary Clinton’s statement, that we need to demonize each other less – which means we need to communicate better in hopes to solve problems faster and in…

The Donald Trump administration has warned pregnant women against the use of Tylenol on the chance that it might have a connection to autism. It seems as though some reports are simply not sure at this time, but they wanted to warn people anyway to be on the safe side. So what happens next? Hordes of liberal pregnant women on TikTok are popping Tylenol to show Trump who’s boss, but there’s one major problem about that. The company themselves said, back in 2017, that pregnant women should not take any of their products. Trump, when announcing the message, did so…

Democrat Elizabeth Warren is spending too much time worrying about President Donald Trump instead of working with the president to get things done for the American people. In her latest anti-Trump rant, she used the announcement about Tylenol in hopes to score rhetorical points against the president, but her message might be putting pregnant people at risk of harming their baby instead. The Trump administration warned pregnant women that there might be a link between taking too much Tylenol and causing an infant to develop autism. Trump’s administration was reporting back what other groups have studied. This is not information…

An officer in Orange County was fired after allegedly posting some concerning message on social media. One of the posts mentioned that he was part of ‘Antifa’ and another post suggested that right-wingers should face the “guillotine.” it was Detention Officer Brian Edwards and he was placed on leave as the department investigated the social media posts. After the investigation, the department said the messages violated Speech, Expression and Social Networking and the conduct rules set forth for officers.

A man was arrested on federal charges Monday for allegedly pointing a laser at Marine One, the presidential helicopter carrying President Trump. The suspect was identified as Jacob Samuel Winkler, 33, of Washington, D.C. He was charged with pointing a laser beam at an aircraft, which is categorized as a felony with a maximum sentence of five years. The aircraft was already flying when someone from the Secret Service saw the suspect. Winkler was allegedly talking to himself, not wearing a shirt, and pointed the red laser pointer in the agent’s face after the agent pointed a flashlight in his…

Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns to television after barely a week off following a suspension. Jimmy Kimmel made insensitive remarks about Charlie Kirk who was assassinated. Kimmel and the network worked out a deal where Kimmel’s show returns to television, but the Sinclair network says no thanks. They posted a statement on X saying: “Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return.” Nexstar won’t air the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show either. Nexstar released a statement saying:…
