At least two people were killed and nearly a dozen wounded when a factory in Louisville, Kentucky, was destroyed in an explosion on Tuesday. All of the victims are employees of Givaudan Sense Colour, a factory that produces caramel color for soft drinks, ABC’s Louisville affiliate WHAS 11 reported. Images of the explosion’s aftermath showed that a large portion of the factory’s roof had caved as smoke rose into the air. The blast blew out windows in some houses in the Clifton neighborhood, the area that surrounds the factory, Immediately after the explosion, city officials told people within a one-mile radius to shelter in place since hazardous materials could have leaked into the air. Around two hours later, officials said there was no longer a threat. The cause of the blast is still under investigation.

Several other individuals were also injured as a result. We are grieving with the families, friends, and loved ones of those that were lost and injured during this very difficult time,” Givaudan Sense Colour said in a statement. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “We are in the early stages of investigating the cause of this incident and are cooperating with first responders and supporting agencies. We appreciate their heroic response and send our thanks to those in the community who have shown their support throughout the day,” the company added. “Our priority right now is on our team members, the families of those we have lost and those that were injured in this accident. We are in touch with them, and committed to supporting them in the coming days and weeks.” Tuesday’s deadly explosion was not the first at the location. In 2003, when the building was owned by D.D. Williamson, one worker was killed when a “process vessel became over pressurized” and released 26,000 pounds of aqueous ammonia into the air, CNN reported. “And you would think that after one explosion, it wouldn’t happen again. But here we are,” said Lorrie Hibbard, whose grandfather was killed in the 2003 accident. “All I heard was that there was an explosion at the plant again, and it just takes you right back to 2003.”

President-elect Donald Trump and President Joe Biden are set to meet at the White House on Wednesday as Trump prepares for his second term. The meeting, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET, will take place just over a week after Trump cruised to a landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, the candidate who replaced Biden on the ticket in July after the president’s fellow Democrats urged him to drop out of the race. It will be a rare meeting between the two presidents. After the 2020 election, Trump declined to invite Biden to the White House as he continued to challenge the election results. Trump’s visit with Biden in the Oval Office also marks his first return to the White House since the end of his first term on January 20, 2021. “I’m sure it will be a bitter pill for President Biden but a moment of sweet revenge in some ways for President Trump, to come back to the place he had to give up four years ago but come back with a truly significant victory, including the popular vote, which a Republican hasn’t won in a long time,” a former Trump campaign official, who remained anonymous, told The Hill. During the 2024 campaign, Biden repeatedly labeled Trump a “threat to democracy,” claiming last January that Trump is “willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.” Just days after an assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, nearly killed Trump, Biden again suggested that Trump represented a threat to the U.S. A week before the election, Biden also referred to Trump’s supporters as “garbage,” sparking outrage among Republicans, including Trump. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Last week, Biden called Trump to congratulate him on his election victory and promise a smooth transition of power. “I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the American people deserve,” Biden said. After talking with Biden, Trump is expected to meet with Republicans in Congress as GOP senators gather to pick their new leader. Along with Trump’s election victory, Republicans also flipped control of the Senate and maintained control of the House. Trump has already nominated multiple people for positions in his new cabinet, including combat veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem for Homeland Security Secretary, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for U.S. ambassador to the U.N.

Having siblings can be tough, especially when you’re a Maine coon kitten fighting for your fair share during mealtime! A breeder on social media caught the most heart-melting footage of her cat’s litter crowding around Mom for milk. Unfortunately, one little guy named Dom had gotten bumped from the lineup, and there was no room for him to squeeze in. He was not happy about it! In an absolutely precious video, this Maine coon kitten looked into the camera with an extremely displeased expression on his face. It almost looked like he was frowning! Then, he uttered the teeniest, most indignant-sounding meow in the world. How dare his siblings not make some space for him? @maine.coon.mayhem this sweet boy #theravenhoodseries #mainecoon #mainecoonsoftiktok #mainecoonkitten #kitten #kitty ♬ original sound – Maine Coon Mayhem Over 19 million people have watched this adorable Maine coon kitten voice his complaints about not getting any milk. Commenters thought that this disgruntled little guy was way too cute! “He looks disappointed at the table arrangement,” one person joked. However, another user pointed out that Dom might not have been telling the whole truth when he “complained” about the other cats in his litter gobbling all the milk. “Look at his milk mouth — I’m pretty sure he ate first!” they wrote. That’s a pretty heavy accusation! We’d hate to think of this sweet Maine coon kitten making false allegations against his siblings, but it did look like he might have some milk on his mouth in the video. Is there something you’d like to tell us, Dom? Before we judge this Maine coon kitten too harshly, we should consider all the evidence. For example, here’s a short clip of Dom from when he was even smaller. It has absolutely no relevance to the case at hand, but he’s so adorable in this video we don’t think anyone could find him guilty after seeing it! @maine.coon.mayhem little dominic #theravenhoodseries #mainecoon #catsoftiktok #mainecoonsoftiktok #mainecoonkitten #kitten #mainecooncat ♬ we fell in love in october – girl in red Do you think that this Maine coon kitten was wrongfully denied milk by his siblings, or is it possible that he was trying to get more than his fair share? We may never know, but one thing is for certain. Dom has the most convincing pout of all time! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

There's no doubt that displaying proper manners improves our relationship with people. But back in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, visiting at an inconvenient hour or fetching the wrong horse could land you in the social dumpster. In a world mostly devoid of cards and radios, people adhered to different social rules than we do today. Some may come off as just absurd–"too clean" Source
