The post cites Loomer's claims that Xi Mingze, who graduated from Harvard in 2014, still resides in Massachusetts with security from the People's Liberation Army (PLA). This claim, though unverified by public evidence, ties into broader U.S.-China tensions. Context and Developments:...

The glitz and glam of Hollywood captures the attention of Americans starting from an early age. Beyond celebrities' Instagram Stories and red carpet poses, there are actors out there paying their dues and honing their craft in pursuit of a sustainable career or a fulfilling sideline. Submitting to casting calls is a big part of that journey. Whether you're a working actor or an aspiring one, you might be curious to know which movies and TV shows are casting roles near you....
Various dynamics can impact the cost of filling specific roles in the labor market. When demand for certain goods and services outpaces the local supply of resources, the wages for skilled professionals in those fields may be higher—and vice versa. Similarly, the labor supply can shape pay trends for certain. For example, a city with several medical schools may produce a larger supply of fresh doctors, driving down the price of this labor and consequently, the median income f...

Arizona election officials will begin frequently checking voters' U.S. citizenship and requiring voters to submit proof of residency when they register, under new laws upheld by a federal judge in early May. Under those laws, if the citizenship checks show that someone has an ID typically given to someone who is not a U.S. citizen, they will be barred from registering to vote, or will be kicked off the rolls. And if new registrants don't provide documents proving they live in...
HELOC debt nationwide increased by 7.2% in 2024, marking the third consecutive year that HELOC balances have grown after a decade of decline. Long overlooked as a borrowing method, it would appear home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are in vogue once again. Responsibly used, HELOCs can have a few major benefits for homeowners with equity. Commonly, they're used to consolidate existing debts or to undertake home renovation projects, which are becoming more common as the...
There's no way around it, Americans are inundated every day with nuisance and scam calls: about 50 billion of them per year, according to call-blocking app YouMail (the Federal Communications Commission says 4 billion/month, which is right in the same ballpark). Even that's not the whole picture, because it only counts automated robocalls, and not the ones made by actual humans. Now, not all of those calls (and texts) are scams, Spokeo says. Some are legitimate, and some are...
Canines are top dog when it comes to pet ownership: 45.5 million households have dogs compared to 32.1 million that have cats in 2024, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. In a distant third are freshwater fish at 3.9 million, while birds, reptiles, and small animals trailing at 2.1 million, 2.3 million, and 1.3 million, respectively. To further explore why Americans prefer dogs to cats, Ollie used data from the AMVA to explore how pet popularity has...
Between scammers, artificial intelligence, and dead internet theory, most online interactions these days should be met with a level of skepticism as to whether or not the person behind the profile is who they say they are (or if there even is a real person involved). While bot accounts are annoying and definitely degrade overall user experience, fake accounts on social media and dating platforms are much more of an immediate threat, as scammers have found plenty of success...
Spammers, scammers, and snake-oil peddlers are at an all-time high thanks to the internet. Scamming tactics are ever-changing and are becoming increasingly creative, making them hard for the average person to keep up with (and protect themselves from). Getting scammed sucks, and you're often left without much reprieve. Because the internet still feels very much like the wild wild West when it comes to scams, it's fair to wonder, "Is scamming illegal?" The answer (sadly) isn't...
Once upon a Monorail ride, in a corner of Downtown Disney where carts full of Minnie ears give way to sleek lines and skyline views, a magical new dining destination has appeared. It's not a ride. It's not a character meet-and-greet. But it is an adventure-one served with sizzling flavors, icy drinks, and a rooftop sparkle that just might rival Sleeping Beauty Castle at sunset. Welcome to Parkside Market, a mid-century modern food hall where retro vibes and Disney dreams colli...
