If you have to leave your car outside overnight, you know what a pain it is to defrost the windshield on those cold mornings. An ice scraper works, but it can take a lot of energy, time and frozen fingers. And using your car’s defrost feature is effective, but you’re bound to wait a while for it to work — and you’ll waste gas in the process.

But one Knoxville, Tennessee, weatherman has a solution for quickly defrosting your car, and it just might change your life — or at the very least your mornings. Ken Weathers (yes, that’s the weatherman’s real name) of WATE 6 shared a recipe for a simple mixture that will get rid of the frost on your windshield in seconds.   Continue reading “Defrost your windshield in seconds with this weatherman’s genius trick”

The leader of the Freemasons in England has rejected claims the organisation is blocking reform in the police service.

Dave Staples, chief executive of the United Grand Lodge of England, said it was “laughable” to suggest Freemasons were interfering with its culture.

Specifically, The Register said the bug lets some software gain access to parts of a computer’s memory that are set aside to protect things like passwords, and making matters worse, all computers with Intel chips from the past 10 years appear to be affected. The news, which sent Intel’s stock tumbling, was later confirmed by the company.   Continue reading ““Everyone Is Affected”: Why The Implications Of The Intel “Bug” Are Staggering”

Chicago, IL — In the land of the free, if you try to help someone from freezing to death in subzero temperatures, you can and will be arrested and have your house stolen from you by state agents. A good Samaritan in Chicago is learning the hard way about the police state who is now forcing him tostop helping homeless people—or they will condemn his home and charge him.

When the brutally cold winter struck the Midwest last month, Greg Schiller did an amazing thing. This selfless individual opened up his empty basement to a group of homeless people who may have otherwise died sleeping out on the street. He offered them food, warm beverages, and cots to sleep on. He even provided the entertainment and played movies for them.   Continue reading “City Tells Man to Stop Sheltering the Homeless from the Cold or They’ll Take His House”

Truth Revolt – by Brian Lilley

After shutting down the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to call for voter identification laws to be enacted across the nation.

The Commission had been set up by Trump in the wake of the 2016 presidential campaign and was supposed to collect data on voters from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. After several states, including Democrat-controlled Virginia and California, refused to supply any voter data, Trump disbanded the group but he didn’t give up the issue.  Continue reading “Trump Pushes For Voter ID Laws”

Tobacco giant Philip Morris says it is giving up cigarettes—and its customers should, too. In full-page ads placed in British newspapers, the Marlboro maker says its New Year’s resolution for 2018 is to work toward stopping selling cigarettes in Britain and to replace them with products like e-cigarettes and heated tobacco, Business Insider reports. But the company isn’t going cold turkey. When asked by the BBC why it’s not going to simply stop making cigarettes, a company spokesman said: “We are trying to go smoke free as fast as we can. If we just stopped selling cigarettes tomorrow, others would sell them in our place.”   Continue reading “Philip Morris Says It Is Giving Up Cigarettes”

Bannon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States announced Thursday it was suspending security assistance to Pakistan for failing to take “decisive action” against Taliban militants targeting U.S. personnel in neighboring Afghanistan.

The State Department’s declaration signaled growing frustration over Pakistan’s cooperation in fighting terrorist networks, but it was not immediately clear how much money and materiel was being withheld. The vague details suggested the primary goal was to substantiate President Donald Trump’s surprising New Year’s Day tweet that accused Pakistan of playing U.S. leaders for “fools.”   Continue reading “US suspends security assistance to Pakistan”
