Governor Gretchen Whitmer just blamed tariffs and a war halfway around the world for your bills. Then she blamed Republicans for rubber stamping it. She has run Michigan for eight years. Electricity rates jumped more than 30 percent on her watch. She signed a gas tax hike from 31...

🚨THREE VETOES. NOW SHE WANTS CREDIT? 🚨 Watch this. Governor Hobbs is standing at a podium with signs behind her reading "Hobbs' $1.4 Billion Middle Class Tax Cut" — for tax cuts she vetoed THREE TIMES this year. Not once. Not twice. Three times she looked Arizona families in the eye and said no. And now this. Senate President Pro Tem T.J. Shope said it best: "The fourth time is a charm — and on the fourth time, you take credit for something that was most definitely not your idea." She didn't fight for you. She fought against you — three times. We fought for you when she wouldn't. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. $1.4 billion back in your pocket. We delivered. She obstructed. Arizona won't forget.

Gretchen Whitmer is jetting off to Milan to hobnob with elites and see the Olympics on YOUR dime, right after she just proposed a budget that is $30 billion more expensive than it was in her first term. That means it’s costing every Michigander $3,000 more per year… $12,000 for a family of four! It’s a slap in the face of every working Michigander.

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can watch this story and still stand there, looking at two women, and somehow decide that the wrong one is the victim. On one side, you have a girl (Yıldız) who has been mistreated her entire life. Since the moment she was born, she was treated like a sacrifice for a conflict she was never even part of and later we find out that this conflict never even existed. Her right to study was taken from her. She was pushed into a marriage at a very young age just imagine being six, seven, eight years old, living in fear of being tied to someone you don’t even know. She was treated like a servant in her own home, by the very people she thought were her family. And just when she gets close to the happiness she dreamed of, the man she was engaged to shows up with another wife. She gets mistreated by that wife, by his family, and even (unintentionally) by him, because he was trying to run away from his own feelings, and that only caused her more heartbreak. The whole world was literally against her. She fought through all of that, only to find out in the end that everything she suffered for was based on something that wasn’t even real. Her entire life was built on a lie. That she isn’t even part of that family that she has literally no one in this world. Now on the other side… You have a girl (Melek) who, yes, was taken from her biological mother but she was raised by loving parents. She had everything anyone could wish for: education, freedom, a happy childhood, a healthy environment. She lived her life, fell in love, went out, made choices and no one questioned her, no one controlled her. And then what did she do? She found out that her man was engaged to another woman before marrying her (and even saw him marry her) and instead of holding on to her dignity, she chose to stay, to fight for a man who lied to her, to hold onto a marriage he tried to end multiple times. She used her unborn child to keep him tied to her. She lied constantly, and her excuse was that she was “protecting her marriage” a marriage that was already broken from the moment Serhat removed that ring at the airport in episode one. She tried to hand Yıldız (a woman who had already suffered enough) over to dangerous people. Then she found out the truth about her own birth (that her father ra*ped her mother.)And still no empathy. No moment of humanity toward her own mother. All she cared about was herself. And even though none of this had anything to do with Yıldız, she still found a way to blame it on her. Instead of holding her father accountable, she went and made a deal with him to get rid of Yıldız. She literally made a deal with the devil just to hurt Yıldız one more time. And after all of that… you want me to feel sorry for her? You want me to call her a victim? I honestly cannot believe we are living on the same planet with people who see this and still say, “she’s the victim.” Not morally. Not logically. Not emotionally. There is no world where this makes sense. It’s like watching someone clearly cause harm, and still calling them the victim and actually BELIEVING it. #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı

This woman was in line at a local fast food restaurant. She just found out an earlier car before her paid it forward and paid for her food. So she wanted to pay for the car behind her. The car behind her ordered over $50 worth of food and she didn’t have enough to cover that so she ended up paying for the car behind them that was only $11. So she ended up paying $11 for the car two cars back. People are saying she broke the etiquette for paying it forward because she was supposed to pay the one behind her. Was she wrong for cheating out?

The series finale of Are You Afraid of the Dark? really went out swinging! This episode is disturbing in so many ways. A child dies after an injection from a night nurse hired by the family. She is blamed for it and sent to jail where she dies. She later returns to haunt the very house she was fired from. What makes it even more upsetting is the truth! She was never trying to hurt the child she just literally did not know they were allergic to penicillin???

His current "tax the rich" policies AREN'T MAKING ENOUGH MONEY, so the socialist wants to take EVEN MORE NYC is cooked 🤡 So Mamdani only has to increase funding by...733% PERCENT! 🤯 "The question is how much more does the city really need?

After talking about how SMN got their first win during the UFO promotions, they kept emphasizing that this is only the beginning for them. But then Sung Sikyung reminded us that this is already Hiichan’s third debut, and that she’s been in the industry for 12 years… It really made me think about Hiichan’s journey. She debuted in AKB at just 12 years old, but back then, she never really got close to senbatsu. So she challenged herself with PD48, successfully debuted with IZ*ONE, and finally got her name out there. After IZ*ONE ended, she returned to AKB, this time as a senbatsu member and eventually even a center. Then, as she approached her 10th year in the industry, instead of simply staying where she was already comfortable and established, she decided to challenge herself all over again, leaving her home in Japan, returning to Korea, and redebuting from scratch with SAY MY NAME. And she didn’t stop there. She continued working hard on her Korean, took the TOPIK exam and achieved Level 5, and even got a Korean driver’s license (though she got this right before IZ*ONE ended). It really feels like she didn’t just come back to Korea to redebut. She genuinely committed herself to building a new chapter of her life there. It’s been such a long and unusual journey for Hiichan. Every time she reached a new stage in her career, she somehow found the courage to challenge herself again rather than settle for what she had already achieved. I have so much respect for her hard work, courage, and growth over all these years. Truly admirable. And to think I’ve been supporting her for almost 8 years now… 🥹 It’s been quite a journey for me too...

WATCH: Socialists have never met a dollar of your money they didn't want to spend. State Rep. Angie Nixon owes nearly $14,000 to the IRS and another $17,600 in student loans she flat-out says she won't repay. Her words: "I don't wanna pay it back." Now she wants a Senate seat so YOU can pay it for her, plus everyone else's, for degrees you never signed up for. Six figures a year. Two homes. And she thinks the plumber in Jacksonville should cover her tab. Has she lost her damn mind? 🤯

“You don’t really need the window seat… do you?” A woman boards her flight out of Newark, ready for a caylm trip; she even paid extra for a window seat. But when she gets there… someone else is already sitting in it. She politely says, “Hey, I think that’s my seat.” The woman looks at her and goes, *“Well… do you really need it?”* The AUDACITY. After a little back-and-forth, the seat thief finally moves; but the story doesn’t end there. She leaves her bag… under the rightful passenger’s seat. So now not only did she try to steal the seat; she’s claiming the legroom too. When asked to move it? She refuses. Straight up: *“The bag’s staying.”* At this point, a flight attendant steps in and shuts it ALL the way down: “Nope. Not your seat, not your space. And no; we’re not putting your bag up for you. You can do it yourself.” People will really try you over a seat they didn’t even pay for… and then double down like they’re entitled to your space too. If you were in that situation… would you have handled it calmly like she did, or would you have lost your patience the second they said “do you really need it?”

This woman built a 1,000-gallon stock tank pool for under $1,000 — and it actually looks really good. She got the poly tank from Tractor Supply for $599, added a filter, a small waterfall feature for the outlet, and basic chemicals to keep it swimmable all summer. Total came in well under budget, and now she has a pool to float in whenever she wants. She also explains why she chose the poly tank over the metal ones and why you shouldn’t just ask ChatGPT what chemicals to add to your pool. Would you ever try a stock tank pool, or do you already have one?

She started selling corn photos of herself as a student because she couldn't find a job on campus because they were all given to upper classmen. So let the maturity level and problem solving capacity sink in. Then, only after she was involved with the s3x industry, did she decide to transition, and at that point, she sold s3x to buy surgery. She does not recommend such a harmful lifestyle to anyone, despite making content on the public side of the internet on an app full of impressionable young people, suggesting this is a viable way to pay for medical transition. She calls me a grifter. Dear, I hope you can heal your trauma. Transition was a way to escape the hell of your own face reminding you what you did for money - a lifestyle you do try to warn against, to your credit, but it doesn't make up for the fact you're simultaneously promoting it to this day, to kids.

This woman has celiac disease and has been gluten free for over 10 years now. She takes the precautions she needs to take so she doesn’t get sick. Today in the flight she was given a croissant and was told that it was gluten free. Only after she had already eaten that they told her a mistake was made and that it was a normal one. She’s now at the restroom after her flight and she’s trying to make herself throw up so that it may lesson the blow. Food allergies are a huge deal, should this airline be sued for this?

LMFAO 🤣 Soon-to-be-former Rep. Jasmine Crockett just called basic voter ID a "poll tax" and blamed Republicans for "white supremacy" in today's SPLC hearing. She conveniently forgot: Her own party founded the KKK and proceeded to KlLL black Republicans and stop them from voting. Then they enforced Jim Crow segregation and voter suppression for a century. The projection is NUCLEAR-LEVEL. Jasmine Crockett, you sure you want to retire? This comedy writes itself. Grade-A material.

Neche is a beautiful woman, there is absolutely no denying that...but she is so much more than her beauty. She is a lawyer. She is intelligent. She is articulate. She is ambitious, strong, hardworking and full of substance. She has a mind, a voice, dreams, convictions and a personality that exist far beyond her physical appearance. And honestly, the constant sexualization of women is exhausting. A woman can be attractive and still deserve to be spoken about with dignity. A woman is not just a body. She is a brain. She is strength. She is character. She is talent. She is ambition. She is a whole human being. Women are more than bodies. We are minds. We are voices. We are power. We are people. And that should never be forgotten. This is also for every woman who has been sexualized at school, at home, in the workplace, at the market, on the streets or anywhere else. We see you. We hear you. We stand with you. We sympathize with you. You deserve to exist without your body becoming an invitation for anyone to disrespect, objectify or reduce you. You are more than a body.

"if i tell you to run, you run. you don't look back for me. are we clear" you say yes. she doesn't answer. she just turns and walks out the door. you follow her through the city streets. she moves different when she's working. shoulders lower. steps shorter. her head doesn't turn but her eyes do. you can feel her cataloguing everything. the man smoking outside the tavern. the cat under the cart. the second floor window with the curtain half drawn. she leads you through an alley you didn't know existed. stops at a brick wall. then she climbs. there are handholds carved into the mortar that you wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't used them first. she's halfway up before she realizes you're still at the bottom. she looks down at you. "up" you climb. your hands are shaking by the time you reach the top. the roof is flat. old clay tiles along the edges. a low wall you can crouch behind. the city stretches out below you in every direction. a thousand windows glowing gold in the dusk. she's already at the far side. crouched. crossbow unslung. watching a building across the square. she doesn't look at you when you come up beside her. "stay low" you crouch. "that building. third floor. second window from the left" you look. "i see it" he'll come to that window sometime tonight. i've watched him do it for three nights. i want to know who he meets you ask who he is. her jaw tightens. "a demon pretending to be a man" you don't ask what that means. you settle in beside her. the wind is up here. it pulls at her hair and she doesn't bother fixing it. the sun is going down behind her. her profile in the gold light looks like something carved. her hands on the crossbow are steady. completely still. you've never seen anyone be this still. an hour passes. she doesn't move. you try not to move. your leg falls asleep. you shift an inch. she looks at you. you go completely still again. she looks back at the window. another hour. the sun is gone. the city is blue and black. lamps are lighting up one by one. the air is getting cold. you're shivering before you realize you're shivering. she notices. she doesn't say anything. then she takes off her cloak. doesn't look at you. holds it out to the side. "take it" you say "you'll be cold" "i don't get cold. take it" you take it. it's warm from her. it smells like leather and steel and something underneath. pine. smoke. something you can't name. you put it around your shoulders. the hem pools on the tile. it's huge on you. it's not huge on her. you hadn't realized how tall she is until you were wearing her cloak. she doesn't look at you for the next ten minutes. the stars come out. she shifts closer to you. just a little. so her shoulder is almost touching yours. you don't say anything about it. she doesn't either. you can feel the heat coming off her even through the cloak. another hour. still nothing at the window. she says "tell me something" you blink. "what" "anything. i need to stay sharp. talking keeps me sharp. not about the target. something else" you didn't expect that. you tell her about a book you've been reading. she listens. actually listens. her eyes never leave the window but you can tell she's hearing every word. she asks one question. you answer. she goes quiet again. you keep talking. quieter now. she interrupts you. "shh" she's not looking at the window anymore. she's looking at the roof two buildings over. you don't see anything. you don't see anything for a long time. then you do. a shadow that moves the wrong way. her hand finds yours. she doesn't look at you when she does it. her eyes don't leave the shadow. her fingers lace through yours and LOCK. tight. too tight. knuckles going white around your hand. "don't move" she breathes. you don't move. you can feel every ounce of her focus through her grip. it's not a lover's hold. it's a predator's. every muscle in her hand coiled. ready to drop yours the instant she needs the crossbow. she's not holding you for you. she's holding you to keep track of where you are without having to look. it should scare you. it doesn't. there is something about being held that tight by someone that dangerous that makes the rest of the world go quiet. your heartbeat slows. your breathing slows. the cold stops mattering. you are not the one hunting but you are with the one who is. and nothing is going to get through her to reach you. the shadow crosses the roof and disappears into a stairwell. she watches the spot it left for another full minute. her hand is still locked around yours. she doesn't loosen it. you don't want her to. finally she lets out a breath you didn't know she was holding. "not him. but someone who works for him" her grip eases. slowly. finger by finger. like she's having to consciously tell each one to let go. the last one is her thumb. it stays against your palm for half a second longer than the rest. then she takes her hand back. the cold rushes in where she was. she glances at you. just for a second. then she looks back at the window. the rest of the night she's quieter than before. the target never shows. when the sky starts turning grey she stands up. stretches. rolls her shoulders. looks out over the city one last time. "we're done" you stand too. your legs don't work right. she catches your elbow without looking. "careful" she keeps her hand there until you're steady. then she takes it away. you start to hand her cloak back. she says "keep it for the climb down" she goes first. you follow. the handholds are easier going down once you know where they are. when you're both on the ground she turns to take the cloak. you hand it to her. her fingers brush yours. she doesn't pull back as fast as she usually does. she puts the cloak back on. it's warm now. from you. she has to notice. she doesn't say anything about it. she walks you home. at your door she stops. "don't tell anyone what you saw tonight" you say "i didn't see much" she looks at you. her eyes in the lamplight. the edge of her mouth. almost softer than it should be. "you saw enough" then she turns and walks back into the dark. you close the door. your hand still feels cold where hers was. you can still smell pine on your shirt. you don't sleep.
