Farmers offering on-site vacation rentals to combat rising costs

As farmers across the country face rising costs, some are turning to tourism to bring in money beyond their traditional agricultural operations. At Lynette Ralph's horse ranch in Missouri, vacationers can spend the night in a small cabin, wake up to views of the horses and get a firsthand look at ranch life. Guests can explore the property, pet and feed the horses or pay extra for horsemanship and riding lessons. "You have access to the farm life, the horses, the barns," Ralph said. THE $1,600 LETTUCE: CALIFORNIA GROWERS WARN OF ‘MASTER PLAN’ STRANGLING FAMILY FARMS For Ralph, welcoming guests is about more than offering a unique getaway. The income from offering short-term vacation rentals on site has allowed her to keep her ranch operating. "If I didn't have the short-term rentals associated with the riding program, I would have to probably liquidate, sell the horses, sell the property," she said.

Florida AG accuses teacher of labeling student a 'misogynist' over 'conservative views': 'She should be fired'

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier alleged that a teacher harassed and attempted to "cancel" an eighth-grade student and labeled him a "misogynist" over what Uthmeier described as the student's conservative political views. Uthmeier sent a letter to Sarasota County Schools' Superintendent Terry Connor and the school board over allegations that a Pine View School history teacher, Liz Ballard, singled out the eighth grade student on multiple occasions over his political views. Ballard often brings up political topics during class despite the student telling her that his parents "expressly forbid" him from participating in the political discussions , according to the letter. The parents' demand was ignored and the teacher continued to hold political discussions, using the student as the "conservative perspective in the classroom," the attorney general said.

DR. MARC SIEGEL: 'THE ANGELS AMONG US' -- A dying woman, the shofar and the miracle that followed

A shofar is made from the horn of a ram and is hollowed out and crafted to be blown like a trumpet. It symbolizes God’s majesty and also serves as a call to repentance.  During the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, it is blown as a spiritual wake-up call for us to return to being who God wants us to be. On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which ended on Monday night, the shofar is blown at the end of the service to break the day-long fast, with the hope that our prayers have been accepted by God and that we are sealed in the Book of Life for another healthy, prosperous year. The shofar also stands for healing, wholeness, and spiritual redemption. In my new book, " THE ANGELS AMONG US ," the shofar is used by one of God’s special messengers to bring a miracle recovery to the widely celebrated journalist Nikki Goldstein, in Sydney, Australia. Nikki (57 years old at the time) has had chronic lung disease and an autoimmune disease for many years and has been in and out of the hosp...

Giants' season-opening high comes crashing down as Jaxson Dart's knee injury overshadows Rams' blowout win

The New York Giants were riding high coming into Los Angeles to face a frustrated Rams team that returned home from a beatdown in Australia. After defeating the Dallas Cowboys on their own home turf, the talk around the league after just one week was that the Giants could be a problem for the rest of the NFL in this John Harbaugh era. But those giant expectations took a massive hit on "Monday Night Football" after quarterback Jaxson Dart was ruled out after a brutal hit led to a knee injury that now has the organization and fan base collectively waiting for MRI results with bated breath. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Once Dart left the game, and Jameis Winston took over for the Giants, the offense that surprised the Cowboys last week with its ground-and-pound nature struggled to find its footing against a revitalized Rams defense—one that lacked Myles Garrett, but featured the return of future Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald at SoFi Stadium.

Midterm history massively favors Democrats. But they are making a big mistake

Every two years, Washington performs the same ritual. The out-of-power party smells blood, the pundits write the eulogy early and by October the outcome seems like a foregone conclusion. But the history behind that confidence is more complicated than most imagine. What matters most in 2026 is not the electoral math – it’s what the party asking for power actually plans to do if they win. Over the last 80 years, the president's party has lost seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in 18 of 20 midterm elections. Political scientists call it the thermostat effect: Hand one party control of government and the electorate instinctively seeks a counterweight, regardless of performance. Voter turnout compounds the challenge for the incumbent party. The winners tend to relax, while the losing side stays angry and shows up to the polls. Presidential elections offer a choice between two visions; midterms become a referendum on the party in charge. REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: HOUSE CONTROL CO...
