8+ min ago (522+ words) Sydney Kasin spends her days learning to cut precise angles with a miter saw, but she's also cutting a different path than many of her peers. The Waunakee High School senior splits her time between the classroom and construction job sites as a carpentry apprentice, part of a growing trend of students choosing trades over traditional four-year college degrees. "I really wanted to use my hands and see what I'm building instead of sitting in an office every day," Kasin said. Her decision reflects a broader shift in American attitudes toward higher education. About 1 in 4 Americans now say a four-year college degree is worth the cost if students must take out loans to pay for it. This skepticism has led more students to explore alternative career pathways, particularly in the trades. Waunakee's apprenticeship program is experiencing unprecedented growth. This year,…...

8+ min ago (401+ words) It truly takes something spectacular for two former star quarterbacks with 33 years of combined NFL experience to be stunned by something they saw on a football field. Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and even famous actor Danny DeVito reacted like most of America after watching Younghoe Koo's botched field goal in the Giants' disastrous 33-15 loss to the Patriots on "Monday Night Football." Koo somehow kicked the ground instead of the football during a second-quarter attempt, resulting in some wild reactions during ESPN's "ManningCast." "The kicker tripped trying to kick the field goal, he tripped trying to kick the field goal," Peyton said during a 17-7 game with a little more than six minutes remaining in the first half. "I have not seen that " ever." DeVito replied: "I've never seen that. I've never seen that." Eli then joined the chorus with a pair…...

(Alex Brandon/Pool/AFP via Getty Images) Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she has recommended a "full travel ban" on certain countries during a meeting with President Donald Trump, arguing that the U.S. is being overwhelmed by what she described as "foreign invaders." Meanwhile, President Trump paid tribute to the two West Virginia National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., calling them "incredible people" and "the best of their class."...

10+ min ago (352+ words) U.S. " Following a difficult year that saw the party lose the White House to Donald Trump and both houses of Congress to Republican control, a new survey revealed that Democrats' poll numbers had surged among the key narcoterrorist demographic. While the Democratic Party had shown signs of making inroads in other segments of the voting populace, it was the sudden spike in support from the important South American illegal drug traffickers that gave the party hope that its popularity was back on the upswing. "We're out here fighting hard for the rights of drug traffickers," said House Minority Leader...

11+ min ago (1724+ words) IT is not lost on Allah's Muslim Terrorists that U.S. leaders, for the most part, are "paper tigers." In military parlance, one can wield the strongest assets, but they are worthless if those in power are disinclined to deploy them. Statesman-ship, or the lack thereof. WHILE there are a myriad of reasons for said useless/toothless comportment when referring to TRUMP's TOUGH GUY POSTURING, those who know the score, most consequentially, are Allah's Muslim Terrorists. Effectively, they give him the proverbial finger " at the very same time that they plot and plot, and pocket all of the U.S. taxpayers' largess! OUT of countless instances, the following bears repeating, and as many times as it takes to sink in: ALONGSIDE the above truth-telling, it is imperative to recognize the phrase, "six of one, half a dozen of the other" as an absolute addendum…...

12+ min ago (176+ words) Beer and Wisconsin go together like brats and, well, beer. But for quite some time, a bottle from America's oldest brewery has not been available in the Badger State. Yuengling on Monday announced it will expand its distribution into Wisconsin starting next year. The brewer began selling its beer in Illinois earlier this year. "As a 6th-generation family brewer, our family has always believed that great beer brings people together," Chief Administrative Officer Wendy Yuengling said. "Each new state we enter feels like welcoming more people into the Yuengling family." Founded in Pottsville, Pa. in 1829, Yuengling holds the title of America's oldest-operating brewery. In 2020, the brewer announced a joint venture with Molson Coors allowing it to expand its sales into the Midwest and further west. After the Bud Light fiasco I switched to Yuengling. I prefer the Yuengling Flights. The…...

13+ min ago (1736+ words) Guest post by Dan Kiger The following are my personal views based on professional and personal experience. They do not represent or reflect the official views of the U.S. government or my previous employers. As West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom (20 years old) is laid to rest and Andrew Wolfe (24 years old) fights for his life after an unmistakable terror attack, let's remember a few things: They both have families and fellow soldiers who are struggling as you read this. Let's give thanks to Sarah and Andrew, who represent a population of young people who continually volunteer to serve us and swear a sacred oath to protect America from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Sadly, this terrorist attack was not a surprise. On April 14, 2021, President Biden announced that all U.S. forces would leave Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. Our looming departure from Afghanistan…...

14+ min ago (391+ words) Republican Rep. Nancy Mace's South Carolina gubernatorial campaign set its sights on a former consultant after he took to social media to air his grievances. Austin McCubbin, a longtime Republican operative and former adviser to Mace's campaign, dramatically exited her team on Monday, accusing the candidate of being disloyal to President Donald Trump. In a lengthy post on X, McCubbin claimed Mace "decided to turn her back on MAGA" only to "hug the political cactus that is the Rand Paul + Thomas Massie wing of the Party." 'When he demanded $10,000 a month for "services" and was told no, he ran straight to X.'"My name has been used publicly, while going back on her word to pay me, to trade on my Team Trump status and to work on her behalf with the White House, and I am 100% breaking with her campaign…...

15+ min ago (368+ words) On Wednesday (November 26) we filed a document setting forth our position, titled "Statement of Independent Intervenors Roger Caiazza, Richard Ellenbogen, and Francis Menton In Opposition to the Joint Proposal." To view our Statement, go to this link to the docket of the proceeding before the New York Public Service Commission, and click on Document Number 214. So with that background, here are some choice excerpts from our submission. From the introductory section: The Independent Intervenors object to the JP because it seeks to implement large rate increases for projects not necessary for or germane to reliability and safety of the electrical system and that are instead intended to support extraneous goals that are impossible and infeasible. The bases for the objections of the Independent Intervenors include: And from the concluding sections: THE JP IS UNJUST, UNREASONABLE, AND CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC…...
