Who says Girl Scouts aren't a bunch of smart cookies?

A New Jersey Girl Scout troop has taken cookie sales to new heights, setting up shop right outside a popular cannabis dispensary.
A South Jersey-based troop recently teamed up with Daylite Dispensary in Mount Laurel to sell their beloved cookies at the cannabis shop this cookie season.
 

“You use cannabis, you get the munchies,” Daylite Dispensary owner Steve Cassidy told NJ.com “There’s a connection between snacks and cannabis and the fact that we don’t have to pretend that doesn’t exist anymore is really awesome.”

Let me tell you a little bit about these. I bought two for my kitchen cabinets.
 They're rechargeable, held on by self stick magnets, and were real easy to

Nice try, Pinocchio...

Oh, man, that's just nasty. That HAD to hurt...

 
Sen. Tim Sheehy sprang into action Wednesday, helping law enforcement officers subdue an “unhinged protester” who began “fighting” at a hearing at the US Capitol. Dramatic video of the incident shows the protester — later identified as Green Party Senate candidate Brian McGinnis — resisting multiple Capitol Police officers trying to remove him from a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. 
Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, is seen jumping into the scrum and trying to yank the 44-year-old McGinnis, who was wearing a US Marine Corps uniform, out of the room. 
 

The situation only calmed down after a loud snap was heard, which appeared to be the sound of the protester’s arm breaking inside the Hart Senate Office Building.
McGinnis, of North Carolina, had been refusing to let go of the door as Sheehy and officers tried removing him from the room, according to Capitol Police. You can almost see his forearm snap (left panel) as they're pulling him out. Ouch...

Is it weed - or oregano?

Oregano’s widespread popularity truly surged after U.S. troops served in southern Europe during Italy in the 1943–45 campaigns of World War II. 
Many American soldiers encountered everyday Mediterranean cooking for the first time, tomato sauces, roasted vegetables, and especially Neapolitan-style pizza seasoned with oregano and basil. 
Returning veterans brought back not only memories but tastes, and as immigration from Italy resumed and expanded after the war, restaurants in cities across the United States began adapting and popularizing these flavors for a broader audience. 
What had once been a relatively niche herb associated with Italian immigrant kitchens started appearing in American home pantries, canned sauces, and military-influenced cookbooks of the late 1940s and 1950s.
The transformation also reflects broader cultural exchange during the Allied occupation of southern Italy, particularly around Naples, where American servicemen were exposed to traditional street foods and rustic herb-heavy dishes. 
 

Food historians note that postwar demand for pizza in the U.S. and the rise of commercial pizza chains in the 1950s created a steady market for dried oregano, which traveled well and matched American preferences for bold, savory seasoning. Thus, oregano’s “arrival” was less a sudden discovery and more a culinary diffusion: wartime contact accelerated the adoption of a Mediterranean herb that then became inseparable from the American idea of pizza and Italian-American cuisine.

Is there a Yankee in the House? There may well be...

“This is a huge victory, and I’m truly honored to have such strong support from the people of TX-21. Thank you!” Teixeira wrote on X. “I’m so grateful to everyone who voted, put in the work, donated, and especially prayed for us along the way,” the former baseball star continued. “My amazing family has been by my side every step of the way — my wonderful wife Leigh and our three kids — and I’m blessed by their support as I prepare to serve the country we love.
“We’re going to run a strong race and win big in November, then hit the ground running to fight for Texas families.” 
The Lone Star State’s 21st District is located in the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio and west of Austin.
 

The district is rated solid Republican by the Cook Political Report, meaning Teixeira is likely to have the edge in the November general election. Teixeira is running to succeed Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who is running for attorney general in the Lone Star State and advanced to a runoff election Tuesday night.

Do you have gout like I do?
 
The black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. 
It eliminates Uric Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works 
better  than any drug any doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a 
bottle and take two a day, that's all. See for yourself if it doesn't work. 
Trust me - it does. Click the picture.

You may have a chance to own one of Yogi Berra's World Series rings...

More than a decade after New York Yankees legend Yogi Berra passed away, his family has announced a deeply moving decision: fulfilling his last wish – auctioning off his entire Hall of Fame collection, estimated to be worth around $8 million, to raise money for charity.
This news immediately stunned the MLB community. Not because of the $8 million figure, but because of the meaning behind it. According to family representatives, Yogi Berra clearly instructed in his will that his awards, championship rings, Hall of Fame medals, and other memorabilia associated with his illustrious career should not be kept as family property, but should be used to “help those in need of opportunity.”
A family member shared in a statement: “He always said that the rings and trophies didn’t belong to him alone. They belonged to his teammates, his fans, and his community. He wanted them to continue creating value.” 
 

Initial estimates suggest the total auction value could reach or exceed $8 million. All proceeds will be distributed to various charities, including veterans’ support, youth education, and medical research.
Yogi was famous for his 'Yogi-isms', including:
  • "Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical."
  • "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
  • "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."
  • "The future ain't what it used to be."
  • "You can observe a lot by just watching."
  • "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."
  • "I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat."
  • "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
