A neighbor says it’s heartbreaking to watch an 80-year-old man in Arizona still working five days a week as a Lyft driver just to cover medical bills and basic living costs. Richard Hoppin, a retired Marine, never saw himself spending his later years sitting at home. “If you want to die, just sit at home. I thought I’d do something very constructive and help people,” he said, as per 12 News. So that’s exactly what he did. The American, born in the 1940s, began driving for Lyft, the second-largest ridesharing platform in the country. “They need a ride, so I give them a ride,” Hoppin, who has multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease, explained to NBC affiliate KYMA-DT. Five times per week, Hoppin heads out in the only vehicle he and his wife, Catherine, own, picking up between six and eight passengers a day. “So...

Marjorie Taylor Greene demands Trump removed under 25th Amendment after chilling Iran threat

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office under the Twenty-fifth Amendment. The controversy began after Trump posted on social media, writing: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change… maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?,” according to VT. He reportedly went on to describe the moment as potentially “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.” The post came after Donald Trump warned that Iran “could be taken out in one night,” adding: “And that night could be tomorrow night.” He also suggested that if Iran don’t meet his demands, the country could be pushed back to the “Stone Ages,” stating: “They’re going to have no bridges… They’re going to have no power plants.” “This is evil and madness” The scale of destruct...

With heavy hearts, we report the tragic news about this multi-talented actor

He became a familiar face behind the bar on Will & Grace, quietly anchoring scenes with warmth and wit. Now, veteran character actor Charles C. Stevenson Jr. has passed away at 89. His son, Scott Stevenson, confirmed that he died of natural causes on January 19 in Camarillo, California. For many fans, Will & Grace remains one of the most influential sitcoms of its era. With razor-sharp writing, bold representation, and electric chemistry between its core cast, the series earned an astonishing 83 Primetime Emmy nominations over its run. Among the many talented actors who brought the show to life was Stevenson, who portrayed the affable bartender Smitty. Though never a central character, Smitty became a comforting and recognizable presence — the steady figure behind the bar who helped ground the chaos unfolding around him. Stevenson appeared in 12 episodes of Will & Grace across seven seasons between 2002 and 2020. His final appearance came in the season 11 episode “Acc...

Viewers left mortified by Netflix’s ‘most explicit movie ever’ with ‘absolutely disgusting’ scenes

A Netflix movie, dubbed the streaming service’s “most explicit movie ever,” has just landed. However, some argue it includes some “disgusting” scenes. Viewers around the world are reacting strongly after a film was added to Netflix. The film in question is Y Tu Mamá También. A Mexican movie released in 2001 has been critically acclaimed. Now, you can watch it on Netflix. The story follows teenage friends Tenoch and Julio, who set off on a road trip after finishing high school, accompanied by an older woman, Luisa. What begins as a carefree adventure quickly turns into something much deeper. Themes include complicated relationships and, safe to say, boundary-pushing experiences. Not least because of the explicit content. The audience has been very divided as the graphic content includes threesomes and sexual discovery scenes. On social media, per TVF, many viewers didn’t hold back, with one saying it was an “absolutely disgusting movie.” “Wtf is this doing on Netflix. I can’t imag...

Big change to US draft rules could impact millions of young men

A major shift is coming to how the U.S. handles draft registration — and it could affect millions of young men without them lifting a finger. Approved by Congress The federal government is moving forward with a plan to automatically register eligible men for the military draft starting in December, according to a proposed rule submitted last week. According to New York Post, the change comes from the Selective Service System (SSS), which officially sent the “automatic registration” proposal to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30. Under current law, most men between 18 and 25 years old are already required to register with the Selective Service in case a draft is ever reinstated. But instead of relying on individuals to sign up, the new system would shift that responsibility directly to the government. “This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” the agency said....

My 12-Year-Old Son Carried His Wheelchair-Bound Friend on His Back During a Camping Trip So He Wouldn't Feel Left Out – The Next Day, the Principal Called Me and Said, 'You Need to Rush to School Now'

I didn't think much of the trip until I got a call I couldn't ignore. Walking into the school the next day, I had no idea what my son had set in motion. I'm Sarah, 45, and raising Leo on my own has taught me what quiet strength looks like. He's 12 now. Kind in ways most people don't notice right away. He feels everything, but he doesn't talk much. Not since his dad passed away three years ago. He doesn't talk much. Last week, my son came home from school different. There was energy in him. Not loud or bouncing off the walls. Just… lit up. He dropped his backpack by the door and, with a rare sparkle in his eyes, said, "Sam wants to go too... but they told him he can't." I paused in the kitchen. "You mean to the hiking trip?" He nodded. "Sam wants to go too." Sam's been Leo's best friend since third grade. He's a smart kid. Quick with jokes. But he's spent most of his life watching from the sidelines or being...

Jim Whittaker, ther first American to summit Everest, dies at 97

The world just lost a true giant of adventure. Jim Whittaker — the quiet, fearless climber who became the first American to stand on the summit of Mount Everest — has died at 97. He passed away peacefully at his home in Port Townsend, Washington, surrounded by the life he built far from the spotlight that once followed him. According to NPR, his family shared a message that feels just like the man himself — grounded, generous, and deeply human: “Whether at home, in the mountains, or at sea, he sought to share adventure, joy, and optimism with those around him,” the statement said. “His warmth, humility, and belief in the power of nature to bring people together left an enduring legacy of care for our planet and for one another.” Whittaker’s life reads like something out of a different era — one where courage wasn’t loud, and greatness didn’t need to announce itself. Born and raised in Seattle, Whittaker started climbing as a teenager alongside his twin brother Lou. Their bond was...
