57% Of Single Adults In U.S. Not Looking To Date, Survey Says
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If you are single and feeling kind of alone before Valentine’s Day, this may make you go, “Oh, Pew.” Results from a Pew Research Center survey of 6,034 U.S. adults conducted from July 5 t0 17, 2022, show that you are definitely not alone.

This percentage was higher (47%) among adults under 30 years of age, lower (21%) among the 30- to 49-year-olds, and at 30% for those 50 years and older.

Tested-Driving The 2023 Toyota Sequoia: Meet The New Boss
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The all-new for 2023 Sequoia is everything the outgoing model wasn’t, and that’s a great thing. It’s smart-looking instead of bland, its interior is interesting and intuitive as opposed to the outgoing model’s slightly bargain flavor, and its basic conservatism has been jettisoned in favor of a more mod flavor overall. All Sequoias are now hybrids, too, meaning you’ll get 17 MPG combined city/highway as opposed to the 14 MPG one used to achieve. It’s a small improvement which adds up over time. Other trims in the lineup will offer you mileage in the very low 20s. It is, after all, a full-size SUV weighing upwards of 5,600 pounds. It seats up to eight passengers. ADVERTISEMENT Body I had the TRD Pro trim, meaning my outside was mighty-mighty with a TRD PRO hood badge, gloss-black window molding, black technical camo grained overfenders with marker lights and other distinguishing features. I got lots of … [Read more...] about Tested-Driving The 2023 Toyota Sequoia: Meet The New Boss

Grand Jury Investigating Trump Expected To Reconvene
The New York grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump should be indicted for allegedly making an illegal hush money payment to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels is reportedly expected to reconvene Monday. The grand jury last met Tuesday — the day Trump claimed he would be arrested — and did not deliberate the case on Wednesday and Thursday as expected. The 23 jurors will likely reconvene Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter. A majority vote from the jury is required for Trump to be indicted. The potential charges stem from Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen paying Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election to keep her from speaking about an alleged affair with Trump. In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws when making the payment.
