Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

A WOMAN has revealed that she lives in a car and a pop-up tent and loves her “crazy” life. Alauna Roby, who is from the US, explained that as a result of living in a self-converted ‘car camper’, she doesn’t have to pay any rent, mortgage or bills.

We hear it everywhere in Democratic circles: an acceptance of defeat. “We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” a senior House Democrat told Axios a few days ago.It would be shocking if it weren’t already obvious that they have given up. Even President Joe Biden himself suggested he’d be happy with the election results knowing that he “did his best,” perhaps a commendable sentiment for a Little League player but one that fails spectacularly to meet the current political moment. It seems the attempt on Trump’s life last weekend gave Democrats the excuse they needed both to stop...

Democrats’ Defeatism Is a Form of Climate Denial

The internet is boring. There is a reason so much online activity has converged on scrolling. Channel surfing, we used to call it, when TV, online’s primitive passive precursor, exploded into hundreds of options, few of them any good. The internet accelerated the trend. We move through tiny bits of text, images, video, occasionally alighting on something that catches our attention for longer than 10 seconds. The pause, the post, the like, the retweet—these illusions of interactivity are all recorded as data in a statistical model; the algorithm automatically delivers more text, images, and video whose constituent parts, converted to...

DEAR ABBY: My older daughter, “Brianna,” age 42, does not want anything to do with me or her brother and sister-in-law. She keeps me from my granddaughter, who is 17. I have been divorced since the ’90s and remarried for 25 years. My first husband was a cheater. I tried very hard to save my first marriage. We got back together six months later, but he walked out again.

When I remarried, Brianna wasn’t happy. I have another daughter, age 24, with my current husband. Brianna wants nothing to do with any of us. I wrote her and said I was...

Dear Abby: My daughter doesn’t want anything to do with me

The past week has seen an outpouring of hate from the far right over the wife of Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance. The unremarkable fact that Vance is married to Usha Vance, a woman of Indian heritage, has become a fixation for white nationalists online. Following Monday’s announcement of Vance as Trump’s running mate, white nationalist “groyper” Nick Fuentes seemed to enter a meltdown on his broadcast, saying, “What kind of man marries somebody that isn’t a Christian? What kind of man marries somebody named Usha? Clearly, he doesn’t value his racial identity, his heritage. Clearly, he doesn’t value...

MAGA Enters Racist Meltdown Mode Over J.D. Vance’s Wife

As Republicans scramble to attack the youthful, energetic Vice President Kamala Harris, after spending months hammering President Biden’s age and infirmity, they’ve hit on a new argument: that Harris owns her boss’ record of failure from top to bottom, so running against her will involve only minimal repurposing of the ongoing GOP indictment of Joe Biden’s America.“This is the essence of what Trump’s campaign believes—that any Democrat who picks up the party’s banner will inherit the baggage that made Biden unelectable,” reports The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta. The campaign wants this election to remain a referendum on the status quo under...

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

Within 36 hours of being handed the reins of the Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris has already begun to send out vetting materials to possible running mates. But for now, she appears to have skipped over one name that has gotten a lot of early buzz. Vetting materials have been distributed to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, according to a post on X (formerly Twitter) from The Wall Street Journal’s White House reporter Ken Thomas.Notably missing from Harris’s list of potential vice...

The Shocking Name Left Off Kamala Harris’s List of V.P. Contenders

It’s only been two days since President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, and Donald Trump is already trying to get out of debating Vice President Kamala Harris. The former president was up late again Monday night ranting on Truth Social, and turned his attention to ABC News, which is set to hold the second presidential debate on September 10. The change-up in presumptive Democratic presidential nominees means Trump will likely face Harris onstage.“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business. They try to make Crooked Joe into a brave warrior because...

Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide.

To someone who has not spent a significant amount of time on social media, Colorado Governor Jared Polis’s tweet on Sunday implicitly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris would be as comprehensible as ancient hieroglyphics. Polis posted three emojis to X, formerly known as Twitter: “🥥🌴🇺🇲.” He then ended a subsequent post providing explicit written support for Harris with the same three emojis.Many Harris fans have added the coconut and palm tree emojis to their social media handles, a shorthand for support. Her online supporters self-describe as “coconut-pilled,” much like people who fall down right-wing internet rabbit holes became known as...

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

Charlie Peters, my original mentor in the magazine world, used to say that the hardest talent to find among aspiring writers was a true, light, instinctive comic touch. Lots of people could work hard, write fast, and stay up late. Lots of people were politics nuts or history buffs. Many people were willing to ask questions and do research and go through the repeated self-education that is the reporter’s life.But somebody who had an innate sense of the one-liner, of the observation that would crack up a too-serious gathering, of the set-up joke that didn’t seem set up at all—and...
