2026/08/07

Tennessee’s primaries delivered political shocks as Trump-backed candidates split the GOP vote: Brent Taylor won his district, but Andy Ogles lost to Charlie Hatcher — a major blow for Trump despite his public support.

A medical flight from Roswell, New Mexico, crashed last month after losing GPS signal minutes into takeoff — a crash that occurred during a military exercise intentionally jamming GPS in the area.

Harry’s push for this role was crushed, fueling his and Meghan’s exit from royal duties, citing press intrusion and lack of support. Though Harry claimed he chose to

Mohandie argues that even if Kohberger lied, a

2026/08/07

Summer’s here, and fresh corn is back — but should you shuck it before buying? While some check for bugs or bad kernels, experts warn that shucking exposes the corn to bacteria and speeds up spoilage. Farmers say every part of the plant has value — husks for teas, stalks for crafts — so respect the whole thing. Instead of shucking, judge quality by weight (heavier = juicier), firmness, bright green husks, sticky light-brown silk, and no holes. Skip the trash bin — your corn’s freshness starts
