Let's be honest, the best part about Thanksgiving is the side dishes. Unfortunately, that's also where the bulk of the calories are. Research shows that the average American eats at least 3,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner. Depending on age and sex, the daily recommended intake ranges between 1,800 and 2,800 calories for an entire day. And while there's nothing wrong with indulging a bit on a holiday (everything in moderation!), navigating all the options can feel like a minefield for those...

As a football coach, he often emphasized the importance of sacrifice and discipline,...
Biden, Hitler, Scorched Earth, Impeachment and WWIII November 20, 2024–The Biden Regime is trying to do to us what Hitler wanted done to Germany in 1945. It was officially called the “Decree Concerning Demolitions in the Reich Territory” and was signed by Adolf Hitler on March 19th, 1945.

That marks a new standard for the U.S. in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused drive-alone commutes to drop as remote work became more widespread. Even so, driving alone remains the primary commuting method in the nation. To identify areas where solo commutes remain most common, Truck P...

For decades, many states legally refused to educate children with disabilities, often putting them in institutions where they rarely received education. Families rarely had other options or access to resources to provide for their children at home. That changed in 1975 when Congress enacted the law known today as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. IDEA ensures...
