Is it possible to find true love on an app? Many young people seem to think so, as 53% of 18- to 29-year-olds report having used a dating site or app at some point in their lives, according to the Pew Research Center. Moreover, 20% of those in the same age group who were married,…
When news broke Wednesday that inflation and food prices went up in January, President Donald Trump wasted no time taking personal responsibility and vowing to focus solely on making life better for all Americans. HAH! Just kidding. He posted “BIDEN INFLATION UP!” on social media and then presumably went back to planning the Trump-branded hotel…
I regret to inform you that we have entered the stage of Donald Trump’s presidency where tariffs are becoming a staple in his proverbial pantry and a tool in his garage with which to intimidate and strong-arm ad nauseum. We’re seeing chaotic political moves play out internationally, sending nations and Americans into a back-and-forth that…
A Chinese company’s latest artificial intelligence technology has sent shock waves through the AI-industrial complex in the United States this week.

There’s an age-old concept – in crisis, opportunity – that should be deployed as President Joe Biden winds down his administration by signing off on pardons, commutations and other acts of clemency. By now, you must have heard the cacophony of controversy after Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday, giving him a get-out-of-jail-free…
Dr. John Whyte Prescription weight loss drugs, known as GLP-1s, are sweeping the country. The drugs, which include blockbuster medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, have helped millions of Americans quickly shed excess pounds. About 1 in 8 U.S. adults say they’ve taken one. But as a doctor, I must caution that these drugs might not be the miracle they…
Today I am calling on President Joe Biden to do the right thing for America and formally cancel this year’s Thanksgiving.
