Wheel of Fortune just got a facelift, and viewers are leaving mixed reviews. The fan-favorite gameshow not only has a new host but also a new set. While Maggie Sajak revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the new set, fans did not hold back their various opinions. Maggie Sajak Reveals The New Set Of “Wheel Of Fortune” Maggie, the show’s social correspondent and daughter of the former host, Pat Sajak, just took fans on a behind-the-scenes adventure of the beloved show. Season 41 started with the big change of a new host. After 40 years, the previous host, Pat Sajak, stepped down and made way for Ryan Seacrest. However, a new host was not the only difference. The entire Wheel of Fortune set got an update, as well. Maggie shared an Instagram video tour. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wheel of Fortune (@wheeloffortune) She starts off the video by pointing out the show’s new sign and logo. She then points out the large sunburst decorations and mentions, “The whole set is sort of a homage to classic Wheel of Fortune.” Although it pays tribute to the original, Maggie does admit that the whole orientation of the set is now different than before. She points out some of those differences such as the placement of the wheel, a new LED floor, and a screen that holds a secret door where Ryan and Vanna make their grand entrance on every show. Next, Maggie assured fans that not everything has changed on Wheel of Fortune. The puzzle board is the same — apart from a new border— and the beloved wheel has not changed. Fans Are Torn Although fans still love the show and Maggie, the group consensus on the new look was mixed. Some fans adored the changes and shared their love for them in the comments. They wrote things like, “The set looks great” and “Great tour.” Others shared specific details they liked. For example, one user wrote, “Love the set! I love the new base on the Wheel, too!.” Another shared, “I love the new set! It’s so 2024!” However, not all the comments left were positive ones. Although some fans raved about the changes, some raged. One user shared that they thought the set was “HORRIBLE” and wondered, “Why do they always have to mess with what isn’t broken?” That same user went on to share specific details about the new Wheel Of Fortune set that they didn’t like. Sharing, “The colors are too bold and bright please bring back the other stage.” This user was not the only one who felt this way. Other comments like “Liked the old set better” and “Not sure why you had to change it, this is too flashy,” followed it. One user even went as far as to say that the new set had an “antiseptic tech theme” that was “not warm and cozy” as the previous set was. Hopefully, as the season progresses, the show can win over all of the fans who were less than impressed with the Wheel Of Fortune’s new set design.

I remember the first shot I made on my first hunting trip in the great mountains of Canada. I admit, I missed often, but with every shot that whistled past my ear and into the distance, I got more and more inspired to try harder. Towards the end of the day, my husband, the amazing hunter that he is, had already carried 3 rabbits, and I had nothing. I decided to try one last time, and surprisingly I did it- I shot the rabbit! The feelings of joy, power and potential were unexplainable. I knew I was going to love hunting.  Hunting Trip | Experienced Tips and Tricks of the Trade Over the many years of hunting with my husband I learned quite a few tricks to make things a lot easier when hunting. But before I start, I want to ask you to treat all animals, big and small, with respect. Be grateful that the animal you hunted down gave away its life for you. So, first of all, when going hunting, never go alone, especially if you are just getting started with the hobby. A gun and a buddy will always be better than just a gun itself. Preparation Tips: Take a pillow case and fill it up with acorns, pine needles, pine bark and moss, leaves, etc, then tie up the pillow and soak it through with water. Then, put it in the washer or dryer with your hunting clothes. Your clothes will smell and attract deer from great distances! Smart Tips To Find Your Way: When you are going deep into the forest during the day and will be expecting to go back when it gets dark, tie glow sticks to the trees on your way there. Or you can also just spray the trees with glow in the dark spray paint. On your way back, the glow in the dark material will light up and show you the way back. Get Your Dog Ready: Get your dog ready to go hunting by bathing it in no-scent soap. Although you may want your dog to wear a neon collar so that you can find it, this may not be a good idea. Animals will notice him just because he is wearing the collar. Instead, use a camouflage GPS collar, and a dog whistle. Practice Makes Perfect: If you want to have fun practicing to aim and shoot, there's nothing better than practicing on potatoes. Pin potatoes to trees with 1 inch nails, and watch those potatoes explode! Another option is to shoot at targets. Check out these fantastic targets from Survival Life!  Hunting Deer: Don’t use a deer call too often. If the buck is already close to you, don't call it again, this will only bewilder it. Instead, wait for it to wander closer. If you believe that it would be a fetal shot, pull the trigger. When you shoot a deer, check the arrow to find out where the arrow passed through it. General Rules Of Thumb: Bright pinkish red blood indicates that the arrow went through the vitals. Bubbles in the blood usually mean lungs. Very dark blackish blood means that it was a hit in the liver.  Normal looking blood means you hit the heart. If the arrow is covered with brownish, greenish means that the arrow passed through the stomach or other digestive organs. fat or grease means that the arrow passed though the back or neck Hunting Squirrels: Squirrels are very curious creatures, if they hear a sound that they have never heard before they'll want to find out what is making the noise. Although lots of people like using commercial whistles and stuff like that, I simply use a dog toy. My puppy has a bunch of old squeaky toys so what I do is I just rip the toy apart and pull out the small, usually rubber, ball inside which makes the squeaking noise. Use the toy to make short high pitch beeps to attract squirrels. Hunting Rabbits: When going hunting for rabbits, go in the evening when the sun is about to set. Rabbits normally sleep during the day but then go for an evening snack, which is the best time to hunt them. Retrieving The Animal: Remember how your mother rubbed hydrogen peroxide on your scraped elbows and knees? You must also remember that in contact with blood, the solution started to bubble, right? Well, this is exactly how you can find a hidden trail of blood from an animal you shot. Simply spray some hydrogen peroxide where you believe the wounded animal passed and you should see bubbly liquid appearing. This will be blood. Follow it. The True Pioneer: Hunting is most definitely my favorite way to spend time outdoors.  There is nothing better than knowing that the meat you are eating is natural and was hunted by you. True pioneers always hunt for their meat! Running low on quality hunting supplies? These are MUST-haves for your next hunting trip! Practice makes perfect!

A Kentucky sheriff fatally shot a district judge in his courthouse chambers after argument Thursday afternoon, the New York Times reported, citing police.Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines, 43, turned himself in after shooting Judge Kevin Mullins and was charged with first-degree murder, the paper said, citing a Thursday evening briefing from Trooper Matt Gayheart of the Kentucky State Police.'This community is small in nature, and we’re all shook.'Gayheart noted that state police got a 911 call just before 3 p.m. from the Letcher County Courthouse about shots fired in the building. The courthouse is in Whitesburg — a city about three and a half hours southeast of Louisville with a population of about 2,000.Officials respond to the scene and found Mullins, 54, with multiple gunshot wounds, Gayheart said. Lifesaving measures were unsuccessful, and the county coroner's office pronounced Mullins dead at the scene, Gayheart added.A preliminary investigation indicates that the sheriff — whom Gayheart referred to as Shawn M. Stines — fatally shot Mullins following an argument inside the courthouse. Gayheart added that Stines was taken into custody at the scene without incident. The sheriff was taken to a local jail and had been cooperative with investigators, Gayheart told the Times.“This community is small in nature, and we’re all shook,” Gayheart added to the paper.The Times said police were still trying to determine what led to the argument, and investigators were interviewing witnesses who were in the building at the time of the shooting. Gayheart said it was an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the public.Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said on social media Thursday he'd been told about the fatal shooting and added, “There is far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow." — (@) State Attorney General Russell Coleman also issued a statement on social media, saying his office will "collaborate with Commonwealth's Attorney for the 27th Judicial Circuit Jackie Steele as special prosecutors in this case. We will fully investigate and pursue justice."Mullins was judge of the 47th Judicial District. The Times, citing Ballotpedia, said county residents first elected Mullins in 2010 and that he'd recently been appointed to a state judicial commission on mental health.The paper said Stines was elected sheriff in 2018 and reelected in 2022.Here's video of Gayheart's media briefing about the shooting: - YouTube youtu.be This story has been updated.Like Blaze News?

Glenn Greenwald Wishes He Had Old Clips of Rachel Maddow Talking About Dick Cheney

SACRAMENTO, CA – In a bold legislative move that has left political analysts, constitutional scholars, and anyone with a mouth utterly speechless, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a groundbreaking new bill into law: The Gavin Has the Floor Act, which makes it illegal for anyone in the state to speak unless their name is Gavin Newsom. At a signing ceremony that, naturally, featured Newsom speaking for three hours uninterrupted, the governor explained the law’s importance: “Frankly, California needs my leadership, my vision, and, most importantly, my voice. I’m just better at it than everyone else,” Newsom stated, after dramatically sipping from a sustainably sourced artisanal water bottle. The bill, which passed with overwhelming support from California’s Democratic supermajority (with no verbal debate, of course), aims to address what Newsom calls “a plague of uninformed, non-Gavin speech” that has contributed to misinformation, confusion, and “way too many opinions I don’t agree with.” Under the new law, any non-Newsom Californians caught speaking will be fined $500 per word, with repeat offenders facing mandatory “Listening Camps” where they are required to watch Newsom’s speeches on a continuous loop. Exceptions to the rule include whispering in the presence of houseplants, texting complaints to customer service, and barking by dogs (though only after receiving a special permit from the state). “I’m doing this for the people,” Newsom explained as his hair shimmered in the California sunlight. “Let’s face it: nobody has anything worthwhile to say anymore, except me.” Critics, naturally silent under the threat of legal action, have raised concerns about the constitutionality of the law. However, Newsom reassured citizens that he consulted with a panel of experts before signing the bill—all of whom were himself. “I gave it some serious thought and came to the conclusion that it’s absolutely the right thing to do. And who could know better than me?” The governor emphasized that the law is a win for democracy, noting that California’s legislature had a record-setting voting process where, for the first time, there was zero dissent, mainly because no one was allowed to speak. “The silence was inspiring,” said one anonymous lawmaker via a series of nods and meaningful glances. California residents, now referred to as “Gavinites,” are reportedly adjusting to the new law. “At first, I didn’t know how to express myself,” wrote one citizen in a note passed discreetly to a local reporter. “But then I remembered, why would I need to? Gavin’s saying everything that needs to be said.” Meanwhile, economists are predicting a boom in the state’s writing, mime, and interpretive dance industries, as Californians search for new ways to communicate their thoughts without actually saying them. Sign language classes have also skyrocketed in popularity, though critics fear Newsom may soon move to outlaw gestures as well, citing “excessive finger-pointing.” Newsom’s office has already hinted at future expansions to the law, including a potential ban on looking directly at him unless pre-approved by a panel of his reflections. “We’re making California quieter, more efficient, and way more Gavin-centric,” Newsom said proudly. “You’re welcome, California. Now shhh.” The post BREAKING: Gavin Newsom Signs Bill Making It Illegal for Anyone in California to Talk Except Him appeared first on Genesius Times.
