Sabrina Carpenter's not a fan of yodeling ... or what she thought was yodeling -- expressing an opinion that's getting her into a bit of trouble online. The pop star brought down the house at Coachella Friday ... and, one excited fan showed their appreciation with a high-pitched trill in between songs that rubbed Carpenter the wrong way. Check out the clip ... Carpenter's sitting at a piano, about to play "We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night" -- when the call draws her attention, and she bluntly tells a fan she doesn't like it. read more

Today is a day for celebration. Over the last two years, we've been building an incredible campus in Spring, Texas, just outside Houston.

(New York, New York) " New York City could be heading into a period of painful austerity, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani warned that the city's financial situation is "worse than broke" and confirmed plans to scale back key programs. Speaking amid mounting concerns over the city's budget, Mamdani said New York is facing a significant deficit that will force difficult decisions across multiple sectors. Among the areas on the chopping block: housing vouchers, library funding, and other public services that many residents rely on. The mayor did not provide a full breakdown of the cuts, but indicated that reductions will be widespread as officials attempt to stabilize the city's finances. Housing assistance programs, which have been critical in addressing affordability and homelessness, are expected to take a hit"raising concerns among advocates about increased displacement and housing insecurity. read more

Notice the rise when the vaccine was required?
So what makes this a big deal? The article states ~ 150 "cases" which is really low compared to last year in the US there were 28,000 cases

So is this kind of an overreaction?
I'll have to pass, heterosexual men aren't known for their hygiene.
You sure?
MSM account for the majority of new HIV infections, with 67% of new cases in 2022 occurring in this group.

MSM have significantly higher rates of syphilis and gonorrhea compared to heterosexual men, and these rates are rising.
Biological Risk: ---- sex carries a higher risk of transmitting STIs (including HIV) compared to ------- sex, as rectal tissue is more fragile and prone to small tears.
Finally can you really call ---- sex good hygiene? Seems like an oxymoron.
"The financial strain was further exacerbated by global tariffs, high inflation and recent spikes in gasoline prices, along with growing competition from private carriers such as Amazon, which now delivers many of its own packages."
This just points to government fragility. This is across the board, City, State, Federal cuts are coming because government is spending far too much relative to its income. It could tax more, and as we see in VA anything that isn't nailed down is being taxed. A kids dog walking service TAXED. Drycleaning? Taxed..
New York City having to cut back on library funding among other things.

The hiring isn't of employees that will help the citizens... nono ... hiring of more managers, will they see a shake up like Google? Hell no.
Since 2019, California has been on a hiring spree. Under Gov. Gavin Newsom, the size of the state's workforce has grown by roughly 20,000 employees, according to California's human resources department " but that growth hasn't happened uniformly across the classes of civil service.

Seems like there's nothing the government won't tax. But it won't stop the spending or hiring or growing the public unions ... why? well, as I articulated a year ago, the unions donate to democrat politicians. Where do the Unions get their money? Well fraud is how, as documented by the indictments in CA.....
Its funny too because a month ago I was ridiculed about declaring the amount of fraud is unsustainable. Yesterday Newsom and Bonta both NOW claim they are fighting fraud, so they threw a couple of immigrants under the bus. Hoping to satisfy the hoi poloi.
Dark times ahead because people aren't seeing the reality, just a fantasy of how they'd like things to be.
Its just so funny, watching California rally behind the Tom Steyer, who made his fortune in hedge-fund finance " including investments in private prisons and dirty coal " will now be recast as a progressive champion.
LOL
