While everyone else was waiting for the government to restore power to Puerto Rico, Oscar Carrion and his friends went in together to buy a bucket truck and taught themselves how to repair wiring.

Thousands of people in Puerto Rico remain in the dark eight months after Hurricane Maria wiped out the island’s already degraded electrical grid.

A Democratic congressional candidate is mincing no words in his latest anti-gun campaign ad.  “F— the NRA,” Pat Davis declares in the ad’s first few seconds.  And thanks to federal election law, a local CBS affiliate in New Mexico says it is compelled to run the ad, uncensored.

KRQE was set to air the potty-mouthed pol’s message Friday afternoon. In a statement on its website, KRQE General Manager Bill Anderson said they cannot censor the ad because of “federal election rules” that prohibit them from editing political commercials. He said the station planned to run a disclaimer beforehand.   Continue reading “Democrat Running For Congress Compels TV Station To Run ‘F**k The NRA’ Advertisement…”

The final season averaged 8.3 million viewers a week, which is a lot of people tuning in to watch a grumbling middle-aged man throw insults at his wife and daughters. (You see, he was the only man in his family. He was—hold onto your butts—the last man standing.)

A year later, the show is getting another shot. As rumored last week, Fox is officially picking up the show for its Fall 2018 schedule.   Continue reading “Last Man Standing Is, In Fact, Still Standing”

Is it dangerous to use the term natural? Paediatricians are now being advised to think so, particularly when it comes to describing breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is natural though, and while it is certainly not the only way to feed your baby, and not physically an option for some women, it is nevertheless, and I think inarguably, the most natural and healthy way to feed a baby, the way women have been doing it since the beginning of time. So where’s the danger in referring to breastfeeding in this way?   Continue reading “Some Paediatricians Are Being Advised To Call Breastfeeding Dangerous & Unnatural”
