Three US troops killed in drone attack in Jordan
I’m devastated to hear the news about the three US troops who were killed in a drone attack in Jordan. It’s a tragic loss of life, and my thoughts go out to their families and loved ones during this difficult time. This incident has left me wondering how the US will react to this horrifying attack.
Normally, Jordan is considered a relatively safe country, so this incident has taken everyone by surprise. The fact that this attack occurred in a supposedly secure area highlights the sophistication and audacity of the perpetrators. It’s clear that this attack was meant to provoke a response and escalate tensions in the region.… Continue reading
As I sit here in Wichita, reflecting on the news of the Jackie Robinson statue being cut down at the ankles and stolen from a local park, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The first, and perhaps most prevalent, is anger. Anger towards the person or persons responsible for such a senseless act. Anger that someone could have such little regard for the significance and importance of this statue.
But as a Wichitan myself, I also know that our city has a major issue with an illicit scrap metal market. It’s no secret that there are individuals out there who see statues and monuments as nothing more than a means to make a quick buck.… Continue reading
US Appeals Court Revives Mexico’s $10bn Lawsuit Against Gunmakers
As news broke that a US appeals court has revived Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against gunmakers, I couldn’t help but feel conflicted about the situation. On one hand, I understand Mexico’s concerns about the flood of military-style weapons that are being used by cartels, weapons that not even US citizens can legally own. It’s a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed. On the other hand, I can’t help but question the effectiveness and fairness of this lawsuit.
Mexico argued that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a law that shields the gun industry from liability, doesn’t apply in this case because the injuries caused by these weapons are happening outside of the United States.… Continue reading
Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California
When I think back to my elementary school days, I distinctly remember the struggle of learning cursive. My teacher would tell us that we needed to learn it because we would use it every day. But as it turns out, I have rarely ever used cursive in my life. It has become nothing more than a novelty, brought out on rare occasions when I’ve had a few glasses of wine and start to talk in a fancy, looped manner.
So, is there really any reason to learn cursive anymore? Some argue that it is just a way to appease older generations who criticize young people for not wasting their time on cursive in school.… Continue reading
Reflecting on the news of Jesse Jane’s untimely death, it’s difficult not to feel a mixture of sadness and nostalgia. As someone who had the opportunity to work in the retail porn business, I can attest to her popularity and the impact she had on the industry. Meeting her a few times, I was pleasantly surprised by her down-to-earth nature, which contradicted the larger-than-life persona she portrayed on screen.
Thinking back to those days when late-night TV was the closest we could get to watching explicit content, shows like “The Bad Girls Club” were a guilty pleasure. It provided a unique glimpse into the world of adult entertainment, bridging the gap between mainstream television and adult content.… Continue reading
Manhunt Underway After 8 People Killed in Illinois: Police
It’s disheartening to read yet another headline about a violent crime that has left multiple individuals dead. The recent tragedy that took place in Illinois, where eight people lost their lives, has once again ignited a heated debate about the effectiveness of our justice system and the need for stricter gun control measures.
This heartbreaking incident brings to light several concerning issues that have plagued our society for far too long. The suspect, who had a history of violence and had been charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated assault, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and reckless discharge of a firearm, was somehow released on bail after posting a meager $10,000 of a $100,000 bond.… Continue reading
As an avid space enthusiast, I am always intrigued by news about asteroids and their potential impact on Earth. So when I came across the headline “Asteroid the size of 64 Canadian geese to pass Earth Tuesday – NASA,” I couldn’t help but be amused by the unusual unit of measurement used. It seems that scientists have found a way to make even the most serious of subjects, like asteroids, a little more lighthearted and relatable.
Now, I must admit that I had never thought of using Canadian geese as a unit of measurement for anything, let alone asteroids. It’s not exactly a conventional choice, but then again, who am I to question the creativity of the scientific community?… Continue reading
No diploma, no problem: Navy again lowers requirements as it struggles to meet recruitment goals
As I read the headlines about the Navy once again lowering its recruitment requirements, I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and concern. It seems that instead of addressing the root causes of their struggles, the Navy is simply lowering its standards in order to meet its recruitment goals. But is this really the right approach?
One argument that often comes up is that instead of lowering standards, the Navy should be focusing on improving conditions and benefits for its service members. And I have to say, I couldn’t agree more.… Continue reading
In-N-Out to Close First Location in Its 75-Year History Due to a Wave of Car Break-Ins and Robberies
It is with a heavy heart that I write this article, as the news of In-N-Out’s closure of its first-ever location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins and robberies is truly disheartening. As a longtime fan of In-N-Out and a frequent visitor to their establishments, this news comes as a shock to me. The closure of this iconic location is a testament to the degrading safety and security in Oakland, where it is situated.
The anecdotes and stories shared by individuals who have experienced car break-ins and thefts at this particular In-N-Out location are deeply disturbing.… Continue reading

When I first heard about the Colorado pastor who was accused of pocketing $1.3 million in a crypto scheme and claiming that the ‘Lord told us to’, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of disbelief, disappointment, and frustration. It is disheartening to see individuals using religion as a shield to justify their deceitful actions and personal enrichment.
In his video update to INDXcoin followers, the accused pastor, Eli Regalado, stated that the Lord brought this cryptocurrency to him and instructed him to take it to his people for a wealth transfer.… Continue reading
