No one in politics can turn a tough question back around on a dishonest interviewer quite like GOP Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio. Former President Donald Trump's running mate showed off that skill on Tuesday night during the vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News. That moment came when CBS...

Of all the possible lies about his past that Gov. Tim Walz could have been confronted about by moderators during the vice presidential debate on Tuesday night, the weakest was possibly that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. And yet, he still didn't have...

Human beings have thought about time from the very beginning of our existence. Since we first understood time, we’ve been trying to build accurate tools to measure it. In this list, we’ll focus on the most common tool that we use to measure time: the clock. Clocks come in many forms: physiological “clocks” within the […] The post 10 Timely Stories about Clocks appeared first on Listverse.

A leftist agenda known as ESG, or environmental, social, and governance, aims to “push politics into business,” according to OJ Oleka, the new CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation. State financial officers are under pressure from the Left to invest in businesses’ commitment to the ESG agenda at the risk of sacrificing their “fiduciary duty to get the best returns possible” on investments, says Oleka. He took the reins at the State Financial Officers Foundation Tuesday. As part of a three-part money and transparency series, Oleka joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to pull the curtain back on what ESG is and how it might be affecting your local and state economy without your knowledge.  Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins the show following the conversation with Oleka to explain how ESG policies and the Biden administration’s climate agenda are hamstringing land usage in Utah.  Listen to the podcast below: The post ESG Aims to ‘Push Politics Into Business,’ CEO Says appeared first on The Daily Signal.

There are 2 types of people. Those that get mud on their hands and panic, wanting to wipe it on something, but can't because they're wearing a snow-white office skirt, and a brown leather vest from Ralph Lauren. And then there are those people that get mud on their hands, wipe it on their several year-old jeans, and 3 seconds later run their fingers through their hair. Read on to check out the differences between country folk vs city dwellers. Country Folk vs City Dwellers People who know me probably know what type of person I am. Yeah, that's right, I'm the muddy-hands-on-jeans type of person. And I'm pretty dang proud of it! Here are some differences between City People's lives and Country Folks lives Let's start at the very beginning… the morning. Being a city person, your alarm probably wakes you up. As fast as possible, you must get dressed, gather all your things for the day, and off you go flying through your door, checking your watch constantly making sure you're on time. And then a couples miles away from the city of rushing people, traffic of yellow taxis, and tall sky-scrapers, there are fields and fields of carrots, cabbage and potatoes. The people living here are homesteaders and farmers. Their day starts with the coo-ka-rikoo of a rooster. And then the more fortunate homesteaders just wake up when they feel like it. The sun rises at 5 am in the summer, so they get up. The sun rises at 9 in the winter, so they get up. Time doesn't always matter if you are a homesteader. They just gotta make sure that they finish all they gotta do before the sun sets! Now, what do city people and country folks do all day? City people, sit in their offices all day: click, click, click, click goes their computer mouse. Shred, shred, shred goes their shredder. Honk, beep, honk they hear outside the window…and the occasional ye'haw from a country song on the radio. We, farm folks, don't sit 'round all day long, we work, work, work. And by “work” I don't mean do taxes at a desk. I mean hard labor work, ya know: digging, plowing, planting, canning, collecting milk from goats and cows, and so on. VS Thinking like a city person, when it comes to dinner, I'd probably grab some take-out sushi. Or maybe make some quick and easy pasta with store bought sauce. Am I right? And when you read the label on the sauce, you think that the hundred ingredients on the list is normal. Speaking of which, let me tell you a little story. As many of you know, I'm a full-on homesteader. I buy only about 10% of the food we eat, the rest I grow or make myself. A couple years back, when I traveled to California for a week to my friends' house, they sent me to the shop to get some sauce. “Well okay,” I thought, “they buy sauces here I guess.” She told me to get “low-fat” sauce. She laughed when she saw my face after she said that. I was just surprised… I haven't heard about Low-Fat products for the longest time! So, at the store, I managed to find the low fat sauce. I turned it over to look at the ingredients list. And I was shocked! There were over 30 different ingredients! When I showed this to my friend she told me that it's normal. But I was still curious- why add gluten and cornstarch and dye #4 to sauce? Brag about your homesteading lifestyle with “I Play In Dirt” FREE shirt here. VS Anyway, the point is, city people and farm people eat foods that are entirely different! We eat foods that are handmade and simple, while city people eat foods that are mass-produced and unnecessarily fancy. If people visit my house, they often think it's old looking. But I just call it country style. Yes, the cupboards are scratched and have some dried stuff on them, but I don't care because it's real teak, and I ain't replacing that with synthetic wood. The floors are a bit scratched, but that's the dog's fault. And without a dog, what kind of homestead would it be? Sure, yes, maybe the bed sheets look like they're from the 90s, but c'mon…why get new bed sheets that look like they're antique, if you have real antique ones. Am I right or am I right? Whether you are a country folk or a city person, try switching for a day or two and experience the many changes. Trust me, you'll have fun!
