Maybe in a few years or so, it will no longer be called rare??



RARE SNOW is expected over the next few hours in Georgia, FLORIDA, and Alabama, with 1-3" of snow possible where the heaviest bands of snow set up.

Two years in a row with winter storm warnings in Florida!

Financial disclosures show Brooke Rollins made over $1 million during her time leading the America First Policy Institute. Her net worth is estimated to be as high as $15 million. Yet she believes a piece of chicken and broccoli is good enough for you.

Jared Wise, who assaulted Capitol police on #Jan6 was pardoned by Trump & now hired by DOJ!!

I am sure Lady Justice is crying!!


Interesting how Jared Wise, a former FBI employee charged with assaulting law enforcement on January 6, was hired as an adviser to the Justice Department after being pardoned by Trump.

🔥 JUST IN: Virginia’s new Governor Abigail Spanberger was just sworn in and didn’t waste a second.

Her FIRST move: repealing Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that pushed state/local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

That’s what leadership looks like: protect your residents, don’t turn your cops into federal foot soldiers.

Locals in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula are calling it a “snow apocalypse” after record-breaking snowfall buried towns, blocked roads, and forced a state of emergency, with snow piling up to building levels in some areas.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.

Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy does not increase risk of autism, ADHD: Review

I only wish Trump and his buddy RFKjr could read and learn from science.
I can hope!!


Acetaminophen use during pregnancy does not increase risk of autism, ADHD: Review

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/acetaminophen-pregnancy-increase-risk-autism-adhd-review/story?id=129273623


Using acetaminophen as directed during pregnancy does not increase a child's risk of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or intellectual disability, a major new review published Friday finds.

Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol and by the brand name Tylenol, is one of the most commonly used medications in pregnancy, with doctors often recommending it as the first option for pain or fever, but in limited use.

Earlier studies have produced mixed results, with some suggesting the drug may be associated with a raise in the risk of autism or ADHD in children, leaving some pregnant people unsure of how safe it is.
Debunking 3 claims about Tylenol after White House links drug's use in pregnancy to autism

In the new meta-analysis, published in the journal The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women's Health, researchers reviewed results from about 60 studies.......................

Live: Counterprotesters chase off Jake Lang’s group from downtown Minneapolis
January 17, 2026
Hundreds of counterprotesters outnumbered the conservative influencer’s supporters protesting Islam on Saturday.

By Star Tribune staff

Groups from competing protests confronted each other in downtown Minneapolis Saturday as police tried to keep them separated.

Shoving matches and tug-of-wars over banners broke out among dozens of people surrounded by media along the snow-swept streets near City Hall. Minneapolis police officers and Hennepin County sheriff’s deputies scrambled in the chaotic scene to intervene.

Conservative influencer Jake Lang led a small group of fewer than a dozen people with his “March Against Minnesota Fraud” outside Minneapolis City Hall. A second protest, organized by the People’s Action Coalition Against Trump, drew overwhelmingly more people, who chased Lang to a downtown hotel.

Before the events began, Bob Jacobson, commissioner for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety called for peaceful protests, adding that anyone who breaks the law would be arrested. Meanwhile, downtown and Cedar-Riverside leaders urged caution and restraint.
