7+ min ago (378+ words) The LIV Golf league may be on the verge of of its largest signing since Jon Rahm in December of 2023. Si Woo Kim is reportedly nearing the end of negotiations to join the league for 2026, this according to Tom Hobbs of Flushing It Golf on Wednesday. Kim would join the Iron Heads team led by Kevin Na.

15+ min ago (336+ words) Recently, in real life Britain, Lord Falconer of Thoroton suggested to the British House of Lords that the poor might be better off dead: Where the reason that you want an assisted death is because in your mind you are influenced by your circumstances, for example, because you are poor'should you be barred from having an assisted death because of your poverty? In my view not. In Britain's nationalized healthcare system, the cost of the procedure for the poor is not an issue. Rather, Lord Falconer seems to be suggesting that the poor should have the "right to die" if they are ashamed of being poor. Poverty, in this view, is a fate worse than death. Most likely, Lord Falconer thinks his is an appeal to charity, like the charity workers in A Christmas Carol. In reality, his advice is…...

20+ min ago (411+ words) The US House of Representatives voted to pass a negotiated version of the National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday, sending the Pentagon spending bill to the Senate for final approval. This bill was negotiated with Democrats in the House and the Senate, resulting in a bipartisan vote that some MAGA firebrands opposed. An earlier procedural vote on the legislation just barely passed 215211 at the 11th hour after four Republicans: Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla, Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., all changed their votes from no to yes. All Democrats voted no on the procedural rule vote. House and Senate leaders already have combined their own versions of the legislation into one negotiated package, meaning it should face smooth sailing through the Senate and to President Donald Trump's desk. Speaker Mike Johnson is touting provisions that offer…...

30+ min ago (398+ words) A fresh surge of Arctic air from the Polar Vortex is poised to plunge into the central and northeastern United States this upcoming weekend, possibly delivering the Interstate 95 corridor its first major snowstorm of the season if the intense cold collides with a batch of moisture sweeping across the nation. The latest computer models show Saturday snow pushing into the Midwest and reaching the Northeast by Sunday. With that being said, uncertainty still surrounds the track, timing and snowfall amounts. Residents and travelers in the Midwest and Northeast should keep a close eye on forecast updates as new data arrives through the week. Per the FOX Forecast Center, models indicate the Polar Vortex circulation will weaken later in the week through the weekend, allowing another surge of frigid air to dip down towards the Midwest and Northeast.

36+ min ago (626+ words) Tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees, including the gunman charged in the shootings of two National Guard members, killing one just blocks from the White House, were eligible for a slew of benefits, including housing and medical at the expense of the American taxpayer. Following the pullout of American forces from Afghanistan in 2021, the Biden administration admitted nearly 200,000 evacuees between 2021 and 2023, including two recently arrested on terrorism charges. Through various reports and testimony by government officials, it was revealed that many of the Afghan nationals couldn't be properly vetted. Afghans who entered the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), under a special immigrant parole (SQ/SI), and were granted humanitarian parole as part of the Biden Administration's Operation Allies Welcome were eligible for over a dozen taxpayer benefits, many continuing four years later. For those who didn't qualify for SSI…...

36+ min ago (462+ words) Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says Illinois lawmakers will take action if the Indiana legislature votes to redraw congressional maps, but an Illinois Republican says Pritzker has already gamed the system. The Indiana Senate is expected to vote Thursday afternoon on a redistricting measure already approved by the Indiana House. Several senators spoke on both sides of the issue during Wednesday's Senate meeting, but it is unclear if the measure has enough votes to pass. Gov. J.B. Pritzker was asked about the issue at a press conference in Chicago Tuesday and first directed criticism at President Donald Trump, who pushed for Indiana to redraw its maps. "Members of the Indiana legislature are being threatened. Their lives are being threatened, and it's being egged on by the president of the United States," Pritzker said. Pritzker expressed hope that the Hoosier State's redistricting effort would…...
