Trump Is Calling For A Major Increase In Defense Spending Alongside Cuts In Domestic Spending
The 2027 plans for the Pentagon were confirmed in a White House outline of Trump’s 2027 budget proposal released Friday. The White House summary says Trump’s proposal would reduce nondefense spending by 10% by shifting some responsibilities to state and local governments. We can’t take care of day care,” Trump said at a private White House event Wednesday. You can’t do it on a federal.”The president’s annual budget more broadly is considered a reflection of the administration’s values and does not carry the force of law. The massive document typically highlights an administration’s priorities, but Congress, which handles federal spending issues, is free to reject it and often does.

I Hired A *** Worker To Celebrate My 70th Birthday — But That's Just The Beginning Of The Story
I hired a *** worker for my 70th birthday because I was terrified of crossing the border into the land of the elderly. Although the thought of disrobing this aging, flabby body in front of a man in his 40s was frightening, it seemed the safer choice. Swiping through endless photos of semi-naked men draped over beds — and young enough to be my grandson — was disheartening. I was afraid I would fall asleep from boredom, with his head resting on my shoulder like a child. He responded a few minutes later to tell me that he had transferred the money back to my account.

How Can I Tell If My Garden Has A Hedgehog?
How can I tell if I have hedgehogs in my garden? If you notice any of these, you may have one of these small creatures in your garden,” Simms shared. Hedgehog Street has a postcode tool that can tell you if people have reported hedgehogs near you, too (hedgehogs can travel further than you think at night). And don’t forget to look in any garden drains from time to time, as hedgehogs can fall in these and get stuck. “If you would like to help protect hedgehogs, there are jobs you can do, such as leaving some areas in your garden wild... or even building a hedgehog home,” Simms said.

The Drama Reviews: Critics Are Divided Over 'Uncomfortable' Film
AdvertisementDays before its release, critics began having their say on the film, and true to form, response has been decidedly split right down the middle. Some more impressed critics have lauded it with five- and four-star reviews, while others have suggested it falls short of expectations laid out by its trailer. One thing both its fans and detractors and can agree on, though, is that The Drama makes for some seriously “uncomfortable”, “unnerving”, “cringe-out-loud” and, often, “feel-bad” viewing. And it gives us what it promises in the title.”“[The Drama promises] an edgy, provocative look at how a relationship might weather the intrusion of a distinctly American pathology. But what gives this glib, circuitous film the right to persecute the apathetic when it barely understands its own characters?”

Lakers star Luka Doncic suffers hamstring injury, leaves game vs. Thunder
OKLAHOMA CITY — The lopsided score wasn't the only issue the Lakers were dealing with against the Thunder on Thursday night. With the Lakers down by more than 40 points in the fourth quarter against Oklahoma City, superstar guard Luka Doncic was ruled out with a left hamstring injury. Doncic attempted to drive into the lane at the 7:39 mark of the third quarter but pulled up suddenly in the midrange. It was the second Lakers injury scare in a game that was supposed to be a marquee matchup between the hottest teams in the league. Reaves, who returned from the locker room with 9:40 left in the second quarter, was the only Lakers player with multiple made field goals in the first quarter.

‘Fulfilling Vladimir Putin’s Greatest Dreams’: Senators Step Up For NATO Amid Trump Attacks
President Donald Trump’s near daily threats to pull the U.S. out of NATO have finally sparked some vocal pushback from Congress. “The law clearly states that only Congress can authorize the president to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. has also been clear that most Senate Republicans still firmly support the trans-Atlantic military alliance. It is a crucial force multiplier in an increasingly dangerous world,” said the senators, who both sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Any president that contemplates attempting to withdraw from NATO is not only fulfilling [Russian President] Vladimir Putin and [President of China] Xi Jinping’s greatest dreams but would be undermining America’s own national security interests,” the senators said.
