Parental Advisory: Earning all the money and taking care of the kids by yourself at the same time is hell. And only crazy people do it. Really. Less than 1% of white college-educated women raise kids alone.

A lot of people ask me how I can possibly do all that I say I do each day, like there aren't enough hours or maybe I am embellishing a little. Then they ask me to break my day down into a schedule so they can see how I do it. The short answer is no, I cannot break down my hours for you. I'm like a chicken with my head cut off. Sometimes. Other times I drink to cope with the stress and then I fall asleep. Which, actually, is similar to a chicken with it's head cut off, just after a little more time has passed.

Record organic sales in the United States totaled nearly $50 billion in 2017 according to the Organic Trade Association. Although organic food still represents only 5.5 percent of food sold, its year-over-year growth has been meteoric.

This has resulted in organic growers and food companies that, although technically adhering to the definition of organic - no chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics or pesticides - are a far cry from the idealism and high standards with which the movement began.

Saul Alinsky wrote many books, most notably "Rules for Radicals," which continues to influence today's democratic political environment. Bernie Sanders has been noted as using "Alinskian" tactics on state and national levels for his U.S. Senate campaign.

Mr. Alinsky simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world domination by communism. During Stalin's rule in Russia, he described his converts as "Useful Idiots." These "Useful Idiots" have destroyed every nation in which they have seized with power and control. Socialism is presently happening at an alarming rate in America. Remember this: socialism is the rest stop on the highway to Communism!

A consent decree that ended the case and detailed the settlement terms was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Erie.

Tom Hagen and his wife expected to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in 2019. Today, one of Norway's wealthiest men just wants to know that Anne-Elizabeth Falkevik Hagen, the childhood sweetheart he married at age 19, is alive.

Her disappearance and suspected abduction from the couple's home on Halloween has gripped a small, wealthy Scandinavian country with the fourth-lowest homicide rate of 36 European countries. Some argue that violent crime happens infrequently enough among the 5.3 million Norwegians that police are unprepared when it does occur.

NEW BERN, NC - Burney-Scott called Craven County-where New Bern is located-emergency services, and hours later her sister, who doesn't know how to swim, was rescued by boat-along with her granddaughter and 6-year-old great-grandson.

The problems with displacement, slow FEMA payments, and lack of rental homes are well-documented, but residents like Burney-Scott's sister are left with longer-term problems. Staying healthy in the months after a flood presents a conundrum: People who stay at home may be living among rotting walls, exposed insulation, and black mold, as Mary Ann would if she stayed at home.
