Former President Trump said Thursday he did not support a push by allies at the Republican National Committee (RNC) to effectively make him the party’s presumptive nominee‚ even as former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley remains in the primary race. “While I greatly appreciate the Republican National Committee (RNC) wanting to make me their PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE‚ and while they have far more votes than necessary to do it‚ I feel‚ for the sake of PARTY UNITY‚...

In the wake of former President Trump’s wins in Iowa and New Hampshire‚ where he defeated his GOP opponent‚ Nikki Haley‚ by double digits‚ the calls grew louder for the former South Carolina governor to exit the race.   Among those appearing most frustrated by her insistence that the “race is far from over” was RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.  Appearing on Fox News Tuesday evening‚ McDaniel emphasized the general election is only 10 months away “and we can’t wait any longer to put our...

Donald Trump on Thursday said he did not support a resolution presented to the Republican National Committee to crown him as the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee even as his rival Nikki Haley continues with her campaign.

Hours after the former president said he didn’t like the...

Just four years ago‚ Israel and the rest of the world marked the 75th anniversary of the allied liberation of the Auschwitz death camp with declarations of "Never again." Yet‚ for Israelis preparing to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day Saturday‚ the October 7th massacre changed everything. Israel Government Spokesman Eylon Levy says people in Israel have always been sensitive to any comparisons between the Holocaust and other historic events‚ He told CBN News‚ "Since...

January is almost over‚ which means that nearly half of us who’ve made New Year’s resolutions have already given up. But those who are still crushing their goals—yay for you—it’s probably due to that fact that a) they’ve made some changes to their everyday environment or daily routine to support those goals b) they’ve found a way to infuse a bit of joy or fun into those goals‚ or c) some combination of the two. For content creator and home decor enthusiast Micah Enriquez‚ aka @makeitwithmicah on social media‚ her resolutions included eating at least one salad a day.In order to stick to the goal‚ Enriquez came up with a kitchen hack that others are calling “the best idea ever”: she converted her fridge into a salad bar.In a now-viral video posted to her TikTok‚ Enruqiez opens up the bottom drawer of her GE Cafe Fridge to reveal all kinds of salad ingredients meticulously organized into individual drawers. Everything from the basics‚ like lettuce‚ shaved carrots‚ and cucumbers‚ to fancier items like Babybel cheese and olive tapenade existing in colorful harmony‚ just like you’d see at a bona fide restaurant. So so so visually satisfying. As to the effectiveness of the idea‚ Enriquez writes in her caption that the system has not only helped her stick to her goals‚ but her husband as well. @makeitwithmicah Replying to @Riana Anais “We have a salad bar at home” ☺️ Ome of my New Year’s resolutions was to eat at least one salad per day‚ this system has really helped and my husband has taken to eating more salads as well. What other items should I to it? #fridgeorganization #fridgerestock #restock #saladbar #foodie #organizedhome #kitchenorganization ♬ original sound - kardashianshulu Which does make sense. The fact that people are more likely to go towards food with a pleasing aesthetic is something researchers (not to mention marketers) can confirm. Plus organizing your fridge in a way that makes the healthier foods both more visible and eye-catching is a hack widely suggested by dieticians. Enriquez just took that truism and ran with it. Enriquez’s fridge hack video quickly garnered tons of views online‚ along with more than a few questions. A few wondered if any of the items dried out due to being uncovered. So far‚ Enriquez has had no issues. Another person was curious as to why she chose to refrigerate certain items that tend to do best in room temperature‚ like tomatoes and avocados. For Enriquez‚ the reason was simple. “They stay longer for me.” Fair enough. One commenter asked: “How long does your salad and other leaves stay fresh and not wilt?”Enriquez responded “Usually 7-10 days but we finish it by then‚” indicating nothing got wasted.One last concern was the price of so much produce‚ with one viewer writing “That looks like my grocery bill in just one drawer — I need to win the lottery‚” to which Enriquez assured “Trader Joe’s has the best prices on organic produce.” And of course‚ many just chimed in to say what a brilliant health hack it was. Though Enriquez’s fridge does have that handy pull out drawer‚ The Spruce Eats has a few tips that can help give any fridge the salad bar treatment‚ including:Clearing out space—duhGetting stackable‚ clear containersPrepping/storing veggies and greens properly so that they last longer—covering moustier retaining leaves with a paper towel‚ for instanceIncluding a treat ingredient—for me‚ it’s usually Fritos. Not a fridge item‚ but the perfect salad treat It’s amazing how little tweaks like these can make such a big difference in the long run‚ all while giving us a mood boost. Happy eating‚ everyone!

It can be a tough life being an NFL kicker. You can wind up the hero or the goat when the game is on the line. The problem in today’s sports world is that when athletes have troubles on the field‚ they are often the target of aggressive bullying on social media.On Saturday‚ January 21‚ Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass missed the 44-yard tying field goal in the Divisional Playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs‚ which ended up costing them the game.“It’s completely on me‚” he told reporters after the game. “I’ve got to do a better job of getting through to my target. I’ve got to do a better job of playing it a little bit more left when you have a left to right [wind]. I’ve been here long enough to know that you have to do that.”After the game‚ Bass became the target of online harassment and death threats. He has since shut down his social media profiles. Tyler Bass really let this ball game end on a missed kick‚ Bills going out sad\n\nAll I know is that Lamar Jackson ain\u2019t letting the Chiefs win it all. Mahomes shaking — (@) News of Bass’s treatment inspired a diverse group of fanbases to come together to show people the right way to treat players who are the subject of extreme criticism: you do something positive.Bass supported the Ten Lives Club‚ a non-profit charity that saves abandoned and homeless cats in the western New York area. “He wanted to help rescue cats‚ and Tyler took photos with our rescue cats and we were so excited. It's not every day that a Bills player helps our cats‚ so we were so grateful to Tyler‚” Kimberly LaRussa of Ten Lives Club said‚ according to WGRZ.The kicker and his fiancée are cat owners.To show their support‚ members of the Bills Mafia (the nickname of Buffalo's colorful fan base) called upon one another to donate to Ten Lives Club.Even though the missed kick propelled the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game‚ members of the Chiefs Kingdom stepped up to donate money in support of Bass‚ too. Then‚ one of the world's most passionate and active fan bases‚ Taylor Swift’s “Swifties‚” joined in asking for donations as well.Taylor Swift is currently dating Chief's star tight end Travis Kelce. She was at the game when Bass missed the kick.“There are a lot of Swiftie groups out there that are rallying and donating on behalf of Tyler Bass‚” LaRussa told the Today Show. According to WKBW‚ the non-profit has received over $270‚000 in donations in support of Bass. The fact that Bills fans‚ Chiefs fans‚ and Swifties are coming together to show love to Tyler Bass shows why Taylor Swift at football games is a good thing! https://t.co/39XBXj7zLF— KD 🌉🫶 (@thesfbaediaries) January 23‚ 2024 #billsmafia if you're a real fan then consider donating to ten lives club in in honor of Tyler Bass. He doesn't deserve any of the disgusting hate he's receiving‚ so let's at least try to make up for it by donating to a charity he supports. https://t.co/LkxhCyb7rI— Montgomery (@monty_decker) January 23‚ 2024 Apparently Tyler Bass had to deactivate his Instagram. Anyone know what charity is important to him? Would be a good time to send him the right message from the fanbase instead of the wrong one. #BillsMafia— Adam (@adampensel) January 22‚ 2024 Hey‚ #ChiefsKingdom    : @BuffaloBills K Tyler Bass had to deactivate his social media accounts due to shitty people messaging him death threats over last night's game.He promotes a local animal shelter called Ten Lives Club.Got $22 to spare?https://t.co/pLCPlzFwKC https://t.co/3eVN8LrOZs pic.twitter.com/kIlnI6edT9— C.D. DyVanc 🆘️ 🗳 (@CDDyVanc) January 23‚ 2024 It’s beautiful to see people supporting Bass when he is dealing with public scrutiny and healing after a heartbreaking loss. But the actions of the Bills Mafia‚ Chiefs Kingdom and Swifties will make a massive difference in the lives of countless cats for many years to come as well.“Ten Lives Club saves 3‚000 homeless and abandoned cats in need a year‚ so this will make an incredible difference for our organization‚” LaRussa told People earlier this week. “We are so grateful to everyone for their support and for having Tyler's back. We hope this brings him a smile‚ knowing what a difference he is making.”

Nobody wants to mess up in their jobs‚ especially in a way that's highly visible or embarrassing‚ but it happens even to the best of us.And while it may not take away the red-faced embarrassment that inevitably follows a major mistake‚ it is always good to hear that other people have royally screwed up at work‚ too. That's why a 2021 tweet from HBO Max's helpdesk about an intern sending a blank test email prompted a celebration of human imperfection as people shared their own biggest work "oopsies." The original post on X read‚ "We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience‚ and as the jokes pile in‚ yes‚ it was the intern. No‚ really. And we’re helping them through it." The ended their message with a heart emoji.Responses to the tweet included a flood of "Dear intern‚" messages with people sharing encouraging words and personal faux pas‚ such as the 37-year-old woman who realized she'd accidentally been putting her menstrual cycle start on the company's work calendar. Swipe through for more: See on Instagram The share of the MaxHelp thread on Upworthy's Instagram inspired even more people to share their work mistakes.Here's a sampling of the oh-so-very-human stories people shared:"Sent a press release with Pittsburgh Pubic Schools in the headline.""I was in charge of creating tags for a local grocery chain. I proudly typed up 'Colgate Cum Comfort Toothbrush.' It should’ve said 'gum comfort.' This tag went to 200+ stores. I came in late the day after they hit stores and couldn’t figure out why I had roughly 80 emails. After dying inside at least 3x‚ I finally went to my boss to apologize. She was laughing harder than I expected. I was 30. I had been there for 5yrs. This tag is now framed in my living room.""I once worked for a large‚ very high quality (and high fees) childcare company…many of our parents were high profile people. I sent an email to an entire centre with over 700 families telling them about some new activities we had planned for the Tiny Tits room…instead of the Tiny Tots room. Thankfully most the parents had a sense of humor about it 😂😂""I made a huge mistake at work yesterday and informed my boss via email. He never responded‚ and I was nervous all night. This morning‚ he sent me a quick email in response: 'Do not worry about this… we will fix it together when I come in.' Not only did his kind response make me feel much better‚ but he ended up screwing up even worse than I had lol it was great."N"ot an electronic mistake but - my first night as a waitress I dropped a hot fudge sundae on a man's lap and proceeded to grab a rag and wipe his crotch to get the whip cream off. It took me a few seconds to realize what I was doing and the whole table was laughing at me but I thought I would die. I did get a decent tip out of it‚ though. 😂""I once worked for a visitor’s center in a small town. I was in charge of mailing out a monthly calendar to the community of the different groups in town. I put that 'Bikers Against Child Support' we’re in town for a weekend rally. The name of the group is 'Bikers Against Child Abuse.' I found out when a couple of big names in the community got their calendar and called my boss. Everyone laughed at the mistake and the biker group got a kick out of it. I haven’t worked there in 15 years and it is still brought up each year at their rally.""I work for a rock radio station in Canada and once deleted ALL of the Canadian music out of the system. On a Friday. At 4:30. Good times. Still employed though!""Dear Intern‚ I did a search and delete for soft returns in a word doc and when I reviewed it with the lead engineers at Hewlett-Packard they noted 17 instances of the word penis inserted‚ where it should have been pen is inserted.""Dear Intern‚ I once sent out a confidential email about an upcoming stock plan to all our European employees. I was a 33 year old lawyer. We all survived and you will too. 😘""Dear Intern‚ I used to type retail ads for our local newspaper. One ad was for part-time work‚ and I didn't find out until it was published in the paper that I had typed the heading as 'Fart Time'. A local radio DJ took it upon himself to shout that out far and wide. He thought it was hilarious. I was mortified. However... no one actually knew I made the typo except my immediate co-workers. (Thank God.) But afterward‚ the owner of the advertising agency withdrew all of her commercial time from the radio station because of it‚ so‚ he lost out‚ and I was vindicated. 😏 🙌"People loved reading through all the examples of humans not being perfect and others being understanding and compassionate about it:"I ❤️❤️❤️ this. Let’s normalize making mistakes. We all do it. So nice to see humans uplifting other humans dealing with their human-ness.""Without the mistake‚ all these very genuine human connections would not be possible.""So much humanity and compassion…Am i living in a parallel world? I even smiled sincerely." Here's to us all being being human‚ in all our embarrassingly imperfect glory.

School lunch debt is a big problem in the United States with nearly 30 million students unable to afford meals. An Education Data survey found that the average school meal debt in the U.S. is $180.60 per student.The problem with school lunch debt is that it hurts in 2 ways. It puts children in the position of being shamed and humiliated for not having the money‚ leading many to skip lunch altogether. It also places a burden on school districts that have to pay off the debt.The City Schools of Decatur in Georgia announced that kids with unpaid lunch debt would be served an “alternative meal” of a cheese sandwich and milk starting February 1. Middle and high school students would be served the sandwich after accumulating $10.50 in lunch debt and elementary students after they crossed the $9.75 threshold.The district created the rule because the city had accumulated $88‚000 in debt from unpaid lunches.News about the cheese sandwich went viral‚ causing outrage among many who believed the children were being shamed for a situation beyond their control.Decatur public schools …yall know better ….CHEESE SANDWICHES?!— midnitemarauder (@Melaninaire13) January 24‚ 2024 it’s morally abhorrent that the term “lunch debt” exists in this country.— Sarah Hammond✨🏳️‍🌈✊🏼 (@SarahforUs) January 21‚ 2024 two words that should never be next each other in education "lunch debt" especially in a state has billions of dollars in tax revenue surplus. At least they won't go hungry but a cheese sandwich? for a debt that is no fault of the children's? Have a hearthttps://t.co/jZGKmg9Wa7— chris lett (@kolmec) January 24‚ 2024 After the news went viral‚ Goodr CEO and Atlanta-area resident Jasmine Crowe-Houston set up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise money to pay off the school district’s debt so every child can have a nutritious meal.Goodr is a national network united to help eliminate food waste and end world hunger.I've launched a #GoFundMe to eliminate unpaid meal balances for kids at Decatur City Schools. No child should face embarrassment over a meal. Let's ensure every child enjoys lunch with dignity. 🍎  I've launched a #GoFundMe to eliminate unpaid meal balances for kids at Decatur City Schools. No child should face embarrassment over a meal. Let's ensure every child enjoys lunch with dignity. \ud83c\udf4e \n\nDonate and share: \nhttps://t.co/XeobiaWVdw — (@) “No child should ever go hungry or be subjected to unnecessary embarrassment due to financial constraints. I believe that every child deserves a full‚ nutritious meal to fuel their bodies and minds for a successful day of learning‚” Crowe-Houston wrote on the GoFundMe page.“That's why I've launched this GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $88‚000 to eliminate the meal account balances for all students in need‚” she continued. “Your generous contributions will directly impact these children‚ allowing them to enjoy a well-rounded meal like their peers and alleviating any potential embarrassment they may face.”Just as the story about the cheese sandwiches caught the public’s attention‚ so did the plan to stop them. The GoFundMe page raised the money necessary to cancel the school lunch debt in just 2 days.“My hands are shaking as I write this update this morning‚” Crowe Houston wrote on GoFundMe. “My heart is overwhelmed with emotion‚ astonishment‚ and gratitude as I wake up to the incredible news that we've achieved our goal in under 48 hours! We can pay off all the meal balances and no cheese sandwiches!”But after that announcement‚ Crowe-Houston learned that a corporate foundation had already stepped in to eliminate the school lunch debt. The Goodr CEO offered the money to the district to provide a fund for future lunch-debt problems the students may face‚ but the donation was declined.The cheese sandwich story is a beautiful example of a community standing up to provide essential nutrition for children. However‚ it does raise an even larger question that begs to be answered: in the wealthiest country in the world‚ should school lunch debt even exist in the first place?
