WASHINGTON — President Trump signed an executive order Monday meant to ban the burning of the American flag, an act currently protected under the First Amendment. “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail — no early exits, no nothing,” Trump said while signing the order. “And you will see flag-burning stopping immediately,” he added, claiming an action he took in his first administration to protect national monuments from being destroyed had a similar effect. Trump has signed an executive order banning flag-burning on Monday, August 25, 2025. Trump signed executive orders on cash bail reform and banning burning the… CONTINUE READING…

The old grandfather clock in the hallway chimed midnight as I ran my fingers across Dad’s framed photo. His smile looked the same as always — steady, comforting, proud. A year had passed since we buried him, but the ache still pulsed like it happened yesterday. “Dad,” I whispered, my voice cracking, “I miss you so much.” Mom walked in just then, her expression cold as always since the will reading. Half pity, half resentment. “Katie, stop moping around. He’s gone, and crying won’t bring him back.” Her words cut like glass. The memory of the lawyer reading the will… CONTINUE READING…

One of the brilliant, talented actors who helped make HBO’s The Sopranos a cultural phenomenon has passed away. Jerry Adler, the beloved actor who brought Hesh Rabkin to life, has died at 96. Worked with Marlene Dietrich and Julie Andrews Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1929, Adler didn’t follow the typical Hollywood route. He spent decades honing his craft behind the scenes on Broadway before finally making his on-screen debut in his 60s. Long before TV audiences knew him as Tony Soprano’s trusted adviser, Adler racked up 53 Broadway credits as a stage manager, producer, or director. His theater résumé included iconic productions… CONTINUE READING…

Sylvester Stallone has left California behind, selling his Beverly Park and Hidden Hills estates and this month, he finally let fans inside his new Florida mansion. The Rocky icon and his wife Jennifer Flavin, married 28 years and still going strong, opened the doors to their jaw-dropping $35 million estate in a feature for Veranda magazine. But for the couple, it’s not just about marble floors or ocean views. It’s about comfort, soul, and space for the things they love, like their family… and their dogs. “Monumental structures, but none of them embraced you,” Stallone reflected about other homes they… CONTINUE READING…

It appeared to be a straightforward request, full of the prospect of playtime and affectionate bonding, when Lila asked her mother-in-law to watch her son Oliver for the weekend. However, the greeting this loyal grandmother received was anything but considerate. The house was messy, the baby supplies were dangerously low, and the refrigerator was almost empty. The true surprise, however, arrived Monday morning in the form of a handwritten $40 bill that included regular “living expenses” like toilet paper and eggs. The gesture was insulting, even petty. Rather than reacting indignantly, the grandmother adopted a more composed and humorous stance…. CONTINUE READING…

In a world where we often find ourselves at the mercy of others’ judgments, a father’s thoughtful gift to his daughter offers a reminder we can all hold dear. Whether this story is true or not, thought it would be worthy of sharing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! A father said to his daughter, “You graduated with honors, here is a car I acquired many years ago. It is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it… CONTINUE READING…

 Social media was set ablaze yesterday after a video surfaced showing a woman striking a police officer during what appeared to be a heated confrontation. The footage, which quickly spread across platforms such as TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), captured a tense moment between law enforcement and a civilian that has since sparked a nationwide discussion about policing, public behavior, and social media virality. In the short video, the woman can be seen shouting and physically striking the officer while he remained on duty. Despite the apparent aggression, the officer did not retaliate with force. Instead, he maintained his composure… CONTINUE READING…

Have you ever lived next to someone who seems to exist solely to make your blood pressure spike? The kind of neighbor whose name alone could ruin your day? That was Dan for me. It didn’t start with fireworks, just little annoyances. His dogs barking at 2 a.m. His leaves mysteriously blowing only into my yard. His garbage cans “accidentally” parked in front of my driveway. The kind of petty stuff that eats at you until you feel like you’re living in a sitcom written by someone with a dark sense of humor. For a while, I told myself to let it… CONTINUE READING…

A routine military training exercise in California took a shocking turn yesterday when a British soldier survived a terrifying fall after his parachute failed to open properly. The young paratrooper plummeted thousands of feet before smashing through the roof of a family home, leaving neighbors stunned and emergency crews racing to the scene. Miraculously, despite the dramatic fall and destruction caused, the soldier walked away with only moderate injuries—a survival story that many are calling nothing short of a miracle. A Training Jump Gone Wrong The soldier, whose name has not yet been released for privacy reasons, was participating in… CONTINUE READING…

And then, there’s Australia’s “human Barbie,” Tara McConachy, who–unlike Robbie in her character–boasts a pageantry of plastic, and admits that despite warnings from doctors, she’ll stop at nothing to achieve her perception of perfection. After spending more than $200,000 on face and body transformations, Tara McConachy, 33, whose plastic upgrades are shocking some fans, is still looking for the “wow factor.” A growing trend across the world, McConachy is one of millions worldwide,… CONTINUE READING…
