Relationships are built on trust — and it turns out minor spending secrets, too. Although close relationships require openness, many partners at times choose not to tell the other about their consumer behaviors. Yet this guilt leads to a greater investment in the relationship, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology. The study noted that "experiencing guilt from keeping a consumer behavior a secret — even one as mundane as secretly eating pizza — will lead individuals to want to do something positive for the relationship." 7 SECRETS TO IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NEW YEAR … [Read more...] about Secret spending by spouses may actually strengthen the relationship: study

Hey, guys, I found out the true facts in the Breonna Taylor case! Remember the “ botched raid” ( New York Times ) on Breonna’s apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, last March, when police officers killed this innocent black woman as she slept peacefully in her bed? Yes, apparently, without announcing themselves, the police smashed in the front door of the WRONG APARTMENT. Their warrant was for a man Breonna had dated eons ago and barely knew anymore, and whom they already had in custody! Assuming the police were home invaders, Breonna’s boyfriend pulled out a gun — again, police were at the WRONG APARTMENT — whereupon the officers opened fire, killing Breonna and wounding one of their own in friendly fire. You probably won’t believe this, but it turns out, none of that is true. Contrary to the repeated claim that the police “had the wrong address and the wrong person and the person was in custody” — as the Rev. Al Sharpton put it — the police were not at the wrong house … [Read more...] about Ann Coulter: Breonna Taylor — the True Story of a BLM Hero

As many continue fretting about Francisco Lindor’s batting average — which is also trending upward — the Mets’ indefatigable shortstop has shown up to the ballpark every single day and reclaimed his spot as one of the best all-around players in baseball. Lindor finally gets a break on Thursday, as a Mets’ off day is the only thing that can keep him off the field. Playing virtually without any rest, something that manager Buck Showalter is very fond of reminding people about, Lindor has posted the fourth-most Wins Above Replacement of any position player in the league. With offensive production that’s 32% better than the average player, clockwork defense at the diamond’s most important position and sneaky good base running, Lindor ranks behind the Cardinals’ corner infield duo of Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt for the crown of most valuable player in the league. It will almost certainly not lead to the actual award for Most Valuable Player, but Lindor deserves much more MVP … [Read more...] about Francisco Lindor is one of the best players in the league again

close Video Kudlow rips Inflation Reduction Act amid inflation, recession concerns: 'Regulators' paradise' FOX Business host Larry Kudlow joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the status of inflation and why he considers the Democrats' spending bill 'paradise' for regulators. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! The Democrat-concocted Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) recalls 1996’s "The English Patient." Like the IRA, this film sounded alluring but proved bloated and disappointing. And, eventually, I fell in hate with the most overrated film in motion picture history. The Senate passed this legislative blazing wreck on Sunday -- 51-50. It bears the fingerprints of Democrat Senators Chuck Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Their 725-page ruin belies its billing, beginning with its fraudulent title. While Americans reel under 9.1 percent year-over-year inflation, IRA neglects the worst price surge since November … [Read more...] about The Inflation Reduction Act will ramp up inflation, oppress Americans and make them sick and poor

Scott Benjamin , Community Contributor Posted | Updated Reply By Scott Benjamin STAMFORD, CT – Twenty years ago, S.L. (Scott) Price wrote in Sports Illustrated that from the time he was a teenager, Bobby Valentine "was seen as a civic treasure" in a city that in the 1960s Time magazine called "a dingy factory town." Stamford, where Valentine and later Price grew up, is now called "The City That Works" and over the last 15 years has jumped over Waterbury and Hartford to become the state's third most populated city. The signs near Interstate-95 on the high-rise buildings for Henkel, Indeed, WWE, UBS, NBC Sports and Thomson-Reuters make you think, "This isn't Connecticut." "Over the last 25 years we did what successes do, and that is we were able to adjust," … [Read more...] about The Pride of “The City That Works”
