There’s never really a “good” time to break your arm. Still, there are times when doing so is especially inconvenient. For example, a little boy named Dax got a broken arm the literal week before his family vacation. Talk about a real bummer! Needless to say, this made some of their plans a bit complicated, especially the ones that involved water. One of their plans included something called “the pirate swing.” From a boat, folks can swing from a rope and into the water. Sadly, this was one adventure Dax was looking forward to the most. Mom was determined to make it happen, consulting with his doctor to get a waterproof cover for his cast. But having a broken arm proved to be too much of an issue… at least at first. See how these thoughtful employees made this kid’s vacation all he hoped it would be at this link. TikTok On his own, Dax was far too weak to hold onto the rope. So, one of the employees offered to carry the kid on his back. The time these two sweet people take in order to ensure Dax is safe is oh-so-heartwarming. It’s no wonder Dax’s entire family can’t thank them enough for what they did! Lots of people on social media feel the same way. With Help From the Kindest Strangers, This Little Boy has a Blast on Vacation, Broken Arm and All “Something about other people caring enough to make something special for your child is just such a [good] feeling,” someone in the comments points out, another person adding, “Side stepping off the edge so he didn’t risk hitting his head [too.]” TikTok It goes to show that going above and beyond can have a huge impact on someone. It’s worth keeping that in mind the next time you have an opportunity to help someone out! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

In the male-dominated realm of heavy metal, few all-female bands have made as significant an impact as Kittie. Founded in London, Ontario in 1996, the band began as a teenage project when guitarist Fallon Bowman and drummer Mercedes Lander started playing music together after meeting in a gymnastics class. Within months, Mercedes’ sister Morgan joined as vocalist and guitarist, and the following year, bassist Tanya Candler completed the original lineup. From these humble beginnings emerged a formidable force in metal music that would go on to sell over two million albums worldwide and inspire countless female musicians. The band’s name The post Complete List Of Kittie Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Germany’s first chancellor Otto von Bismarck famously said, “Laws are like sausages. It is best not to see them being made.” That description fits President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act — with one major exception.Unlike most legislation, the OBBB deserves a close look. But the media would rather focus on headline fodder like the SALT deduction fight and proposed Medicaid work requirements. What the media has mostly ignored is far more significant: the dismantling of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act’s climate spending, or what Trump rightly calls the “Green New Scam.”The OBBB isn’t perfect — but it’s the best shot conservatives have to kill the Green New Scam, lock in Trump’s tax cuts, and put America’s fiscal house on firmer ground.Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) recently claimed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the OBBB rolls back “the most reckless parts of the engorged climate spending,” reclaiming $6.5 billion in unspent funds. But that figure barely scratches the surface.Goldman Sachs estimated the total value of the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate spending at a whopping $1.2 trillion. According to Grok, X’s artificial intelligence tool, the initial OBBB version would have left most of it intact.Roughly $140 billion of that $1.2 trillion had already been spent in 2024 — much of it used to grease the palms of red-state politicians, as I’ve discussed elsewhere. Another $140 billion has been committed but not yet disbursed. The Trump administration is currently fighting in court to block that money from being spent.But here’s the kicker: Grok’s analysis projected that between $700 billion and $900 billion of the Green New Scam funds would remain untouched under the original OBBB draft. That’s not a rounding error. That’s two orders of magnitude away from Guthrie’s $6.5 billion figure.Fortunately, the House Freedom Caucus didn’t back down.Led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), the caucus demanded a bill that honored Trump’s campaign pledge to kill the Green New Scam. Roy wrote on X, “Rather than just subsidizing $350B for states with high taxes — we should pass a OBBB that FULLY terminates the Green New Scam and FULLY ends the Medicaid money laundering scam abused to hurt the vulnerable.”He followed with this: “Writing a deficit-backed blank check (SALT) is easier than cutting spending (DOGE, Green New Scam, Post-COVID spending). Congress/swamp will always choose the easy route, but we can’t afford it.”Roy was right. And though not completely successful, the Freedom Caucus scored a major win.The House passed the OBBB on May 22 by a single vote, 215-214. Thanks to the Freedom Caucus, the bill cuts about $500 billion in wasteful Green New Scam spending. Half of the unspent funds have now been stripped out. The bill is now with the Senate, where its fate remains unclear.RELATED: The Senate’s Romney-Ryan tax ideas collide with a Trump-Vance world Photo by Alex Wong/Getty ImagesOne strategic advantage of the OBBB lies in how it’s being passed. Like the Inflation Reduction Act before it, the OBBB uses budget reconciliation — a tool that bypasses the filibuster and requires only a simple majority. In this case, what was once a Democrat-only spending spree may now be repealed with a Republican-only rollback.Call it poetic justice. Call it the only viable option. Either way, reconciliation makes this repeal possible — despite the fondness many subsidy-happy Republicans still have for the Green New Scam.But the most important part of the OBBB isn’t about repealing waste. It’s about preserving growth.The bill makes Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent. That alone carries a projected value of $4 trillion over the next decade and prevents a $1,700 annual tax hike on the average American family.Republicans who block the OBBB over narrow interests risk handing Democrats a tax increase — and possibly their own walking papers in the 2026 midterms. That includes swing-district moderates who demand Green New Scam subsidies and fiscal hawks who balk at anything short of a full repeal.The key difference? The pro-subsidy Republicans didn’t vote for those climate programs in the first place. Yet, now they’re willing to tank the whole bill to preserve them.One Freedom Caucus member told me he remains hopeful the Senate can claw back more of the Green New Scam funds. Maybe so. But I wouldn’t bet on it.Which brings us back to Bismarck. Lawmaking may resemble sausage-making, but at least sausages leave a good taste behind. When done right, so can legislation.The OBBB isn’t perfect — but it’s the best shot conservatives have to kill the Green New Scam, lock in Trump’s tax cuts, and put America’s fiscal house on firmer ground.

If you’re on the lookout for a new action RPG, you’ll want to give Vindictus: Defying Fate’s new alpha test a go. A single-player combat-focused experience from The First Descendant developer Nexon, it’s already the top demo on Valve’s platform during Steam Next Fest.
