As former President Donald Trump marched to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night, leftist members of the media and Democrats cited racism and misogyny. Trump was declared the victor first by Fox News, but it took hours for other news organizations to admit the fact. Former Barack Obama advisor David Axelrod cited sexism as part of the reason for Harris’ defeat. “I think there are plenty of ways to critique her as a candidate; I think they’ll be time to do that,” Axelrod said. “But that doesn’t obviate the fact that there were some people who probably voted against her, we’ve never had a woman president, that there’s sexism in this country.” “I do have to wonder what role race and gender played,” ABC’s Linsey Davis said. “I mean, we’re talking about, one thing that stands out, a less diverse electorate, when you think about even just at-large with the world, of the 193 member nations only 13 have a woman who leads them. Black women are often the last at the table when it comes to pay disparity in this country, getting 67 cents on the dollar when it comes to white men.” Davis went on: “And so I don’t know that we have the answers tonight, but I think that is kind of the elephant in the room that we’re not talking about, because we’re not just talking about having a woman, we’re talking about having a woman of color, and I think that that’s something that we cannot underestimate.” Asked why Trump won, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) declared, “Racism is the basic part. Now I know that there will be some support from some minorities, but basically, we’re outnumbered. We’re outnumbered. And it’s not about whether or not, y’know, people are selecting absolutely based on public policy or whether or not there’s an elected official who’s willing to do what’s in the best interest of all the people.” “People don’t like to talk about racism,” Waters said. “But the fact of the matter is the majority of his votes are going to come from whites, and that’s who he has been talking to, all campaign, about taking the country back, taking it back from too many minorities who are doing too well.”

'What an absolute ass-kicking'

A post on X claims that a voter in Kentucky using an electronic voting machine was prevented from voting for Donald Trump, with their votes being automatically changed to Kamala Harris. Voting machines in Kentucky are NOT allowing people to vote for Trump. It’s also switching Trump votes to Kamala. This is INSANITY. pic.twitter.com/mc9LMBrGVJ — […]

'You are alienating'

'We’re going to keep our promises'

The road has always held a powerful place in music, embodying the spirit of escape, adventure, and the endless possibilities that lie just beyond the horizon. Across genres, the word “road” conjures a sense of liberation from life’s everyday struggles, an invitation to the unknown where the future is unwritten. Whether in rock, pop, or country, the road isn’t just a physical path—it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and the freedom to leave the past behind. This theme has inspired countless artists, giving us songs that tap into that universal desire to break free and discover something new, something better.

When a Canadian professor lost his class ring while splashing around in Barbados with his son, finding a needle in a haystack must have seemed like a breeze by comparison. Yet miraculously, after 47 years of tumbling about in the surf, sand, and shells, the man celebrated his 83rd birthday by slipping on his MacMaster […] The post Sunken Class Ring Returned to Canadian Who Lost it in 1977 off Barbados Coast appeared first on Good News Network.

Welcome to the Wednesday Cats of Catster! Every month, we ask our cat-loving Catsters to weigh in on a new topic. This week, we asked them: What’s Your Favorite Thing About Your Cat? What Are Your Cat’s Favorite Things? Here’s what they had to say: Crystal & Ivy Just like we humans have our favorite things, our kitties do, too! Here are a few of Ivy’s all-time favorites. As we all know, cats LOVE sleeping. And as they age, they spend even more time sleeping. With this being said, Ivy is big on her sleep! She absolutely loves sleeping late in the mornings. Most days, I’m up and at ‘em by 08:00 am. Ivy only rolls out of bed around 11:00 am! During this time, she is not to be disturbed. As in, at all. Sleeping Beauty She also has two favorite spots on the bed – either on my face or between my legs. She’s definitely made me change how I sleep, but even if I’m uncomfortable, I love that she still sleeps with me. I thought this would be something she’d grow out of, but thankfully not! She also enjoys cuddling but, in typical cat fashion, only on her terms. Another of Ivy’s absolute favorites is a treat called ‘Biskitty.’ My fiance started a morning ritual that involves Ivy jumping on her cat tree and then receiving a couple of bum pats – and, of course, a couple of Biskitty treats!   The ‘You Forgot My Biskitty’ Stare Even on days when my fiance is away for work, she expects her bum pats and treats. She would get up from bed (eventually), run over to the cat tree, and meow – all whilst giving me the ‘death stare.’ Also, if I forget to put the treat container away, there’s a 100% chance that she will attempt to open it by knocking it over (she has succeeded a few times, resulting in the treat container now being kept out of cat-reach). Pretty sure she’d put one of her nine lives on the line for just a crumb of Biskitty! She’s never really had much interest in traditional cat toys available at pet shops. After spending a rather questionable amount of money on tons of different toys, we discovered the fan favorite: ping pong balls! Ivy waiting for her ping pong ball to be thrown. Simply bouncing the ball on the floor is enough to get her full attention! We live in a double-story townhouse, with the second story being a loft. When we play together, we throw the ping pong ball up to the loft from the ground floor, resulting in a mad dash to the top from Ivy, to chase down the ping pong ball. On some nights when she’s feeling particularly wild, she would chase the ball around in the loft for what feels (and sounds) like hours! Very noisy, but very cute! She’s a simple girl, really! Snoozing, treats, and ping pong balls are a very small price to pay for the unconditional love and laughs she gives us! Isabel & Milly Milly and I actually have a lot in common for two gals from different species. For example, Milly loves eating whenever she’s presented with a snack. I, too, have seldom turned down a food offering. Milly loves lying stretched out in the sun. She even knows which rooms get the best sun at specific times during the day. Milly sunbathing Similarly, I enjoy spending time in the sun, tanning, doing yoga, or gardening. We’re both sassy, independent, not big fans of crowds, love to Netflix and chill and we’re both obsessed with each other. Let me tell you more about Milly’s other favorite things. Milly’s favorite cat tree spot Firstly, her favored nap spots. Her cat tree has this half-pipe, cylindrical spot which she has claimed as her favorite spot of all time. It’s positioned right by the front window with the most beautiful views of mountains, a golf course, large gardens with a walking path below which sees many a furry and human passerby, and a diverse collection of birds frolicking about. A new, but strong contender for her favorite napping spot is her Hepper Nest bed conveniently positioned on my desk where I spend most of my day. She loves being by my side while I work, I even have a small duster on stand-by to sweep my desk 5-10 times a day because she prances around my setup around 5 out of the 8 hours a day I’m there. Milly working with me in her Hepper Nest bed She was really impressed when I placed the Nest on my desk. She gets to be close to me and petted while I work, and I get to actually see my screen without clouds of cat hair floating around. It’s a win-win. My favorite thing about Milly is knowing she wants to be close to me even though she’s not the most affectionate or cuddly cat. She chooses me every day, and that’s an incredible honor. Catch me and Milly next time to read more about her favorite things about being a cat and my favorite things about being a cat owner! Wes & Raphy My favorite thing about Raphy is his presence. Now, I don’t mean that in the way you might think. Raphy just LOVES being around us when we’re home, and I find it the most wonderful companionship. If I’m sitting on the floor, he’ll come and sit on the floor next to me. If I’m on the couch, he’ll curl up on the next seat. And if I’m in the bathroom…well…the less said, the better! Will he act disinterested? Sometimes. But I know deep down, just by him being there, that he loves me. Sometimes, when Raphael wakes from a lazy nap in the middle of the day and gets the urge to hang out with us, he won’t be able to find us. Before you can slow-blink, suddenly he’ll be wailing: “meow! “meow!” Loosely translated, I think that means: “Hey! Where is everyone?!” We’ll shout back: “Raphy, we’re in here!” With a little “merp” of surprise, he’ll come speed-trotting in the direction of the directed directions. As he joins me in whatever mundane task I’m whiling away the hours on at that moment in time, his presence always makes me reflect on the fact that we’re so lucky to have these silent (and sometimes not so silent), companions in our lives. Just happy to be a part of our day. The post Favorite Things: The Wednesday Cats of Catster Weigh In by Catster Editorial Team appeared first on Catster.

Officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the country is located on the easternmost part of the Indochina Peninsula and is the 15th most populous country in the world. Like many of its surrounding countries, Vietnam has an incredibly rich history that dates back to ancient times, although is constantly undergoing change. There's a lot more to Vietnam than most people imagine... Source
