A sweet grandmother called St. Joseph’s Hospital and, in a soft, trembling voice, asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?” The operator replied warmly, “Of course, dear. What’s the name and room number of the patient?” The grandmother hesitated slightly before saying, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.” “Let me check with the nurse’s station for that room. Please hold on for a moment,” the operator said. After a few minutes, the operator returned to the line. “Good news! The nurse told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is…

Harriet and Stanley were in their late 80s and had just moved into a new home that their tech-savvy grandson convinced them to make “smart.” “Everything’s voice-activated now,” the grandson said proudly, clapping his hands. “Lights, thermostat, TV, even the fridge tells you when you’re out of milk!” Harriet squinted suspiciously. “Does it tell you when the milk has turned? Because your grandfather has been drinking expired milk since 1972 and says it ‘builds character.’” Stanley shrugged. “Hasn’t k.i.ll3d me yet. Probably the reason I’m still kicking.” So one evening, Harriet tried using the voice commands. She stood in the…
According to court filings, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been forced to pay more than $54,000 in legal expenses for breaking Georgia’s Open Records Act. The conflict started when defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant, who works for Michael Roman, a former campaign and White House advisor to President Donald Trump, asked Willis’ office to produce certain documents. According to Newsweek, Roman and Trump were charged in the Georgia election tampering case, which Willis filed in 2023 and is still pending. The site added that Friday’s decision is just another blow to Fani Willis’s lawsuit against Trump and the other…
Nearly 700 pages of previously unreleased information from Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s unsuccessful investigation into a possible link between Russian agents and the 2016 Trump campaign, were presented to members of Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel. Starting at 7 p.m. EST, the documents will be available for public viewing in near-real time exclusively on JustTheNews.com. The new documents will hopefully help dispel the unfounded rumor that President Donald Trump conspired with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton, which his opponents continued to spread long after it was proven false. When special counsel John Durham published his years-long investigation in…
One of the most ardent progressive Democrats in Congress is now the subject of a new probe. After the conservative Coolidge-Reagan Foundation filed a complaint, the Federal Election Commission formally began investigating Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) on April 2. The complaint, which was filed on March 26, focuses on questionable contributions made to Crockett’s 2024 reelection campaign via ActBlue, a well-known fundraising tool for the Democratic Party. “The respondents will be notified of this complaint within five business days,” the FEC wrote in the letter to the charity. “You will be informed as soon as the Federal Election Commission…
I knew something was off when Jalen came back from his dad’s last weekend visit. He kept flipping his hair, talking like some influencer, and scoffing at my boots like they were contagious. Then he dropped it. Over breakfast, no less. “Why should I help with chores? That’s like… low class. Only farmers do that.” I nearly choked on my coffee. I set the mug down and looked him dead in the eye. “Well, lucky you. Your mama is a farmer.” He blinked. “Yeah, but like, a cool one.” I didn’t even argue. I just told him to pack his…
The journey was meant to be brief. Get a snack, fill up with gas, and resume your journey. To be honest, I didn’t even want to stop in that dusty tiny town halfway through the twelve-hour drive to assist my sister with her transfer. The only gas station nearby was a dilapidated hut with a single functioning pump and a crooked sign, and the vehicle was running on fumes. I could hear it—a faint yipping sound—from nearby as I was filling up. I assumed that there was a dog in the car. However, there was nothing there when I looked…
I wasn’t overjoyed when I was originally paired with Spike. I had never considered myself to be in need of a “K9 partner” riding shotgun because I was more of a lone man. But whether I liked it or not, Spike was assigned to me, and rules were rules. He wasn’t really kind either. He initially hardly gave me a glance, instead looking straight ahead as if he was prepared for work but still didn’t trust me. Like you, I wasn’t sure I trusted him. However, shifts came and went. Busts dropped. And Spike was always there, quicker and more…
Like other Sundays, it began as a leisurely one. My child, Tamsin, suggested that we go look at dogs while we were bored and flipping through TV stations. Don’t get one. Take a peek. We made that pledge. The odors, the barking, the signs pinned up on each kennel—the shelter was crowded, and to be honest, it was overwhelming. He appeared just as we were ready to depart. A massive, shaggy dog leaned against the wire, his large brown eyes staring at Tamsin as if he knew her already. We weren’t searching for him. Our home was modest. Not even…
