President-elect Donald Trump’s selection for border czar Tom Homan was recently praised for his decisive rebuke of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in a recent congressional hearing. Homan is known for his unapologetic statement of facts regarding the laws in the United States relating to illegal immigration and his intent to enforce them.

The argument before Congress pertained to AOC disagreeing with Homan allegedly supporting the separation of families at the southern border. “But it says here that you read, you gave her numerous options, but the recommendation was option three, family separation.” However, Homan set the record straight, responding, “I’m saying this is not the only paper where we’ve given the secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives.” AOC retorted, “And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation.”

Suggesting that the United States was violating human rights, AOC said, “So we as members of the United Nations signed on into an international human rights agreement, saying very clearly that family separation is a violation of international human rights, and we pursued a policy that violates human rights. You know, Mr. Chair, I was looking, how did we get to this point?”

Firing back, Homan defended his “zero-tolerance” policy, telling AOC, “I recommend a zero-tolerance … the same as is whatever US citizen, parent gets arrested when they’re with a child.” However, the “Squad” member didn’t seem to acknowledge this argument from Homan that illegal immigrants were being treated equally to American citizens who broke the law. “If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I’m gonna be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from the family,” he said.

AOC replied, “Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.” Citing United States law, Homan confirmed that unlawfully crossing the border, whether seeking asylum or not, is still a crime if an asylum seeker doesn’t go through a legal port of entry. “When you’re in the country illegally, it’s violation eight United States Code, 1325,” Homan said, citing the specific law.

The progressive congresswoman attempted to rebuke Homan by claiming, “Seeking asylum is legal.” Homan astutely pointed out, “If you want to seek asylum and go to the port of entry. Do it the legal way.” At this point, Ocasio Cortez was beginning to appear visibly frustrated with Homan continually shutting down her argument with facts about U.S. law. “The Attorney General of the United States and made that clear,” Homan added.

The Tribune reported on other comments from Homan where he maintained that local leaders who were interfering with the incoming Trump administration’s deportation efforts would face jail time. He said, “You’re absolutely breaking the law. All he has to do is look at Arizona versus U.S. you’ll see that he’s breaking law. But look me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing, he’s willing to go in jail.”

Watch a clip from the congressional hearing below:

“I’m willing to put him in jail because there’s a statute of his title eight in the United States, code 1324, triple i,” Homan continued, “What it says is it’s a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal from immigration authorities, there’s also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer, so if he doesn’t want to help that’s fine, he can get the hell out of the way, but we’re going to go do the job.”

Being a parent to a cocky, disrespectful teenager is far from easy, and different parents have different approaches to get their children to behave.

One mom, Heidi Johnson, wrote a handwritten letter to her son, Aaron, and shared it on Facebook. She didn’t intend for the post to go viral. She didn’t even intend to make the post public. It was supposed to just be for friends to see, but she does not regret her post or the fact that it’s public.

In the letter to her 13-year-old son, Johnson reprimanded her son treating her like a “roommate.” She went on to give him an itemized bill for rent, food, etc that totaled over $700. If he was going to treat her like a roommate instead of his mom, she would do the same.

Johnson signed the note, “Love Mom,” and she truly does love her son. She followed up the post with another post explaining some backstory to the situation. She also reassured parents who were criticizing her that “I am not going to put my 13 year old on the street if he can’t pay his half of the rent. I am not wanting him to pay anything. I want him to take pride in his home, his space, and appreciate the gifts and blessings we have.”

She added that she never intended for Aaron to pay the bill. Instead, she wanted him to “gain an appreciation of what things cost.” The reason Johnson wrote the note was to make sure her son understood “what life would look like if I was not his ‘parent,’ but rather a ‘roommate.’ It was a lesson about gratitude and respect from the very beginning.”

Johnson also explained that before she wrote the note, her son had lied about doing his homework, and when she told him she was going to restrict his internet access, he responded, “Well, I am making money now.” She explained that the money he was referring to was a little bit of income he was making from his YouTube channel, but not nearly enough to pay for food and rent.

The public note has not hurt Johnson’s relationship with her son. She explained, “He and I still talk as openly as ever. He has apologized multiple times.”

Johnson has also had parents turning to her for advice since she posted the note to her son. She explains, “My post seems to have opened a door, and people feel safe coming to me and asking for advice, venting, or even just have someone bear witness to their experience by listening and opening up and sharing a piece of myself in return.”

Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are hard, white or yellowish lumps that form on the tonsils due to trapped debris such as food particles

A husband said to his wife.“The guys at the club said that our mailman has slept with every woman on our street except one…”

Wife replies“I bet it’s Paula.”

When my wife went to the hairdresser, I expected her to return with her hair dyed, covering the gray. Over time, her gray hairs began to show, and I’ll admit, it was something I struggled with.

I wanted her to appear “young” and vibrant, but she had a different vision. When she sent me a selfie after her appointment, my initial reaction was disappointment. Her gray hair was still visible, and I couldn’t understand why she chose to keep it that way.

However, what I’ve come to realize has completely changed my perspective. I’ve learned not only to embrace her choice but also to love and appreciate her more deeply.

This article isn’t just about my wife’s decision to embrace her natural hair color—it’s about a broader movement. More and more women around the world are choosing to keep their gray hair, viewing it as a powerful symbol of confidence, authenticity, and strength. This story may resonate with other husbands who need a gentle reminder that beauty is so much more than just hair color.

Farting is a natural and healthy process that is important for digestive health, even though it may not be the most glamorous topic. The majority of people pass gas five to ten times a day, and gut health and nutrition play a role.

While some foods can produce strong odors, foods high in complex carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes and beans, frequently result in increased gas. Letting gas out has unexpected advantages, despite the fact that it may feel uncomfortable!

Farting is a normal and necessary component of a healthy digestive system, despite not being the most glamorous topic. Your body and well-being can benefit from letting it out for the following eight reasons:

Reduces Bloating
One of the primary causes of bloating is trapped gas. According to Health Direct, passing gas can relieve pressure in your stomach and provide immediate relief if it feels uncomfortable.

Helps You Maintain Dietary Balance
You can learn a lot about your diet from your farts. While higher levels of odorless gas are frequently caused by healthy carbohydrates like beans and oats, strong odors may be a sign that you are consuming too much red meat. You can adjust your dietary choices by keeping an eye on your flatulence.

Reduces Pain in the Abdomen
Gas retention can cause pressure and discomfort in the intestines. To prevent needless pain, it’s best to let go of the urge if you feel it.

Preserves the Health of the Colon
Holding in gas on occasion is safe, but doing so repeatedly can exacerbate conditions like hemorrhoids. Natural gas expulsion is particularly crucial for people with weakened colons.

Potentially Improve Cellular Health
Small doses of hydrogen sulfide, a component of flatulence, may protect cells and lower the risk of heart disease, strokes, and other ailments, according to a University of Exeter study.

Indications of Digestive Health
Health problems may be indicated by changes in gas pain, frequency, or odor. Excessive gas may indicate underlying medical issues or nutritional imbalances that require treatment.

Determines Allergies to Food
Excessive flatulence can be a symptom of certain food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance or celiac disease. Finding allergies or intolerances can be aided by monitoring how your body responds to particular foods.

Relieves Emotional Stress
It’s a fact that farting is enjoyable. Releasing gas makes you feel better overall, eases discomfort, and less irritable. Excuse yourself if necessary and take pleasure in the relief in private.

Small lifestyle changes, such as eating more slowly, consuming fewer carbonated beverages, or using fewer artificial sweeteners, can help if excessive gas starts to bother you.

However, keep in mind that gas is an indication that your digestive system is functioning properly. It’s one of the ways your body maintains its health, so embrace it!

A guy comes home from work and he is quite upset.

His wife looks worried and asks him what’s wrong. He shakes his head and refuses to say anything.

Later, during dinner, he’s just pushing his food around on his plate and staring out the window.

“Honey, what is it? I’ve never seen you like this before,” the wife says.

“It’s . . . nothing,” he says. “I can’t burden you with my problems. It wouldn’t be fair.”

“Your problems?” the wife says. “We are partners. We face everything together. Your problem is my problem. There is no I, just we. Now please, tell me, what is it?”

“Well,” he says, looking up at her glumly. “we got our secretary pregnant and now she’s suing us for support.”

A trucker has just turned a corner on a deserted roadway and was proceeding to change lanes when a blonde in a speedy corvette cut right in front of him almost making him get run off the road. Enraged the trucker sped up and overtook the blonde then forced her to slow down. When the blonde finally stopped the trucker stepped out of his truck, went over the to corvette and yanked the blonde out.

He then drew a circle with a piece of chalk he had around the blonde.

“If you step outside of this circle, I will kill you. You hear? You just stay right there missy,” said the Trucker.

The trucker went to his truck and grabbed a wooden bat. He smashed the corvettes windows in and knocked off the rear-view mirror. Then he stops and hears a tiny giggle. He turns around and the blonde is trying not to laugh.

He turns back to work and stabs the tires with his swiss army knife, then smashes in the car windows. Then he hears a snicker from behind him. He turns around and the blonde is red from trying to hold in a laugh. Getting angry the trucker proceeds to smash the taillights, and dent the hell out of the cars body. Wanting to completely obliterate the car, he went into his semi-truck and ran over the car crushing it into a flattened piece of metal.

As he gets out to admire his demolition work, he sees the blonde on the ground laughing like a madwoman and rolling around holding her sides.

He goes and grabs the blonde by her hair and yells in her face, “WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING YOU FOOL??”

The blonde tries to put on a straight face and says, “While you were looking away, I stepped out of the circle 3 TIMES!”

A blonde was recently fired from her cashier job, because she kept stealing money from the register. She went looking for work the next day.

A few days later, she came to a man who needed someone. “I’m here for the paint job”, the blonde said eagerly.

“Alright. Take this paint and brush, and go paint my backyard porch”, replied the man.

The blonde immediately started painting. After she was done, she decided to do a second coat. When she was finished, she went to the man to get her pay.

“I finished it, and did a second coating too! By the way, that’s not a Porsche, it’s a new BMW”.
