After Kari Lake’s challenge of the 2022 Arizona election was ended by a state judge, Democrat Katie Hobbs demanded that the court punish Lake. But the judge handed Lake a victory by denying the punishment. On Tuesday, Maricopa County Judge Peter Thompson turned down Hobbs’ request that the court hit Lake with sanctions because she brought her case in “bad faith,” according to KSAZ-TV. Sanctions are aimed at punishing someone but are also meant to act as a warning to others not to bring similar suits in the future. In other words, Hobbs was hoping to make sure no…

A couple left their baby at an airport check-in after they refused to buy a ticket for their young child. While the debate around babies on flights is usually centered around if they are crying or not, the people on this flight didn’t get the chance to see if this one was a screamer as they never boarded the plane. The couple in question attempted to board a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they hadn’t actually bought a ticket for their baby. The couple refused to buy a ticket for their baby.

Alyssa Milano, an actress and political activist, bragged about trading in her Tesla for a Volkswagen electric vehicle but was slammed online very quickly. She made the switch to defy “hate and white supremacy” and businesses buying ads on Twitter, as the actress claims. Here is what the famous ‘Charmed’ star tweeted: “I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it. I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model.” In case you…

We often consider men serving in the military as the toughest men on Earth. And with that is the assumption that they’re devoid of emotions.

Grab a box of tissues because you’ll need them for this video. The video starts off with Jeffrey B. Anderson, a former marine, standing right outside their home.

Did Russia swing and miss with its MiG-35 fighter? It seems like the program never delivered its potential. The MiG-35 Fulcrum is a fourth-generation “plus plus” fighter. So, it is one of the most modern airplanes in the Russian fleet. But only six prototypes and eight serially produced jets have been built. Too bad for Moscow because the MiG-35 can track 30 targets and attack six at once with its new radar system. It was supposed to be a hit on the export market, but foreign markets never materialized.

Pavin Smith is probably every parent’s dream son. At just 21-years old, he did something rather exceptional for his beloved mom and dad. He paid for their entire home. Now they will never have to worry about another mortgage payment again. Pavin managed to do this despite his young age because he was the seventh overall pick in the year’s baseball draft, signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball. The signing led to a generous $5 million bonus for the 21-year-old first baseman and right fielder, according to MLB Pipeline. But instead of immediately going wild with…

After years of this horrific abuse, Tuffy was finally rescued by the group Animals Asia, who brought him to a sanctuary in Vietnam where he could finally live in peace. Unfortunately, the veterinarian there found that Tuffy’s gallbladder was so damaged that it…
