By Chuck Bentley, CP Guest Contributor Friday, October 23, 2026Dear Chuck,I’m beginning to understand the importance of managing money wisely, but I’ve never considered how time management also plays a role in stewardship.

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The reign of tyrannical Airbnb hosts is over. On Wednesday, Airbnb unveiled a new policy update that prevents hosts from demanding their guests do a bunch of cleaning before checking out. Starting on bookings made on or after November 20, hosts won’t be able to make guests do chores that “would typically be performed by a cleaner,” the company said — like stripping beds, washing and putting away dishes, or taking trash off the property. Guests have been begging for these changes for…

On Thursday’s Morning Edition, NPR anchor A Martinez (not the soap-opera actor) interviewed Rand Corporation expert Shira Efron, who was in Tel Aviv, on the closeness of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Efron talked up how it could be like joint election interference: “If you remember, during Trump’s first term, and Netanyahu was prime minister, Netanyahu basically received, if you will, the policy choices by the United States that supported his government the whole time. And Netanyahu himself has basically intervened in U.S. elections – endorsing Trump, visiting him in Mar-a-Lago in the summer of 2024 in…

It may not be hard to believe, but Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just hit yet another major career milestone. The Bush 41 appointee marked 35 years on the high court on Friday, which comes months after he became the second-longest serving justice in U.S. history.

Screenshot Federal agents and prosecutors under the Trump administration struck another massive blow against California’s runaway healthcare fraud industry Thursday, charging 15 defendants, including six medical professionals, in schemes that collectively submitted over $1.8 billion in fraudulent claims to Medicare, private insurers, and other programs. The Justice Department’s announcement, led by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli and Assistant Attorney General Colin M.

The concept of a corporate psychopath is eerily recognizable, depending on your work history. It’s also notoriously misunderstood. The archetype of the manipulative, self-serving manager has regularly resurfaced in popular culture for decades, but concrete evidence supporting the wider concept is debatable. For example, a research study went viral in 2016 after estimating upwards of 1-in-5 business employees fit the “psychopath” bill, only to be retracted two years later. Additionally, psychiatrists widely agree that only about 1 percent of the general population truly can be considered clinically psychopathic. That said, many of the people determined to claw their way to…
The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit Friday to block Alaska’s Senate results if Republican Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan lost because of a challenger with the same name. A challenger with the same name entered the race in June, which raised speculation that he intentionally ran to confuse voters and help former Democratic Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola win. If Sullivan loses, the lawsuit stated that the state would “fail in its obligation to protect the integrity of its election” if they certify the votes. “Daniel J. Sullivan decided to run for Senator in 2026 as a Republican with the…

Rep. Ilhan Omar Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is going to have trouble explaining this explosive new development away as the walls close in on her. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson previously reported, Omar gave a weird response when asked if she married her brother in an interview on Wednesday, suggesting she’s unsure of the answer in an awkward, apparent attempt at sarcasm. Omar appeared nervous while laughing and said, “It started with the Somali blog that I don’t know if it still exists, but somebody put him there that, you know, that he had to have been my brother…
Two fundamental issues that Canadian politicians and media keep hidden from Canadians. First, in the 2025 U.S. Supreme Court decision last year about tariffs, the court outlined that the executive branch can constitutionally ban trade with another country. Second, the U.S. can exit the USMCA with a six-month notification. There is an awful lot of pretending and gaslighting within this general discussion segment; purposefully advanced to keep the Canadian people in the dark. However, that said, Canada’s chief trade negotiator to the United States, Janice Charette does admit that tariff free access to the U.S market is lost forever. Janice…
Americans are planning to borrow for holiday purchases before Halloween has arrived, with many already anticipating repayment trouble, a survey released Oct. 13 found. Nearly two in five holiday spenders plan to use buy now, pay later (BNPL) services, according to NerdWallet’s survey. Among those prospective users, 38% expect they will be unable to make payments in full and on time, raising concerns about shoppers taking on obligations they already doubt they can meet. The financing arrangements let customers receive purchases upfront while spreading payments across installments. PayPal, for example, offers eligible shoppers four interest-free payments through its Pay in 4…
American auto loan payments just hit an all-time high of $787 per month. Pile that on record credit card debt and relentless price inflation, and it’s no wonder American consumers feel stressed! Rapidly rising vehicle prices (thanks, inflation!) combined with higher interest rates are driving car ownership costs ever higher. The average price of a new car has eclipsed $50,000, according to Kelley Blue Book. That’s up by about 30 percent in just six years. Meanwhile, the average APR on a new car loan hovers around 7 percent. That is a recipe for skyrocketing car payments. A record 21.2 percent…

The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline declined six cents for the week ending Thursday, driven by the shift to winter-blend gasoline.Winter-blend gasoline is “cheaper to produce and costs less for consumers,” AAA said in an Oct. 22 statement. The blend is cheaper because it uses butane and other less costly additives than the summer blend.Another reason for the price decline is decreased travel. Colder temperatures keep drivers indoors, reducing demand for fuel and putting downward pressure on gas prices. AAA estimates that fuel prices can dip between 10 and 30 cents per gallon during winter months.However,…
The U.S. general fertility rate hit a new “record low” in 2025, according to final birth data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday.

Specifically, birth rates decreased for females between the ages of 10-14 from 0.2 births per 1,000 females in…
Most people think Democrats will impeach President Donald Trump again if they win on November 3, even though the past two impeachments were ineffectual – and more think it’ll increase Trump’s popularity than believe it’ll make him less popular, a new Politico poll reveals. What’s more, just as many of those planning to vote Democrat on Nov. 3 say their candidates should conceal their plans to impeach Trump – if it’ll help them win – as say they should admit they’ll impeach, even if it hurts their campaigns. In a national poll of U.S. adults conducted October 16-19, Politico asked…

Sorry Politico, but you can’t just make wild-eyed statements about Elon Musk’s political spending and think you’re so above reproach that no one would bother to fact-check you. Following news that Musk brought his total 2026 midterm spending to “more than $422 million” with a new $75 million cash dump, Politico senior data reporter Jessica Piper haphazardly proclaimed that “there is no precedent in modern American history for any donor spending as much as he has.” She included no parameters to hedge that statement. Had she been more careful, she would have avoided critics bringing up contrary evidence, like CNBC’s…
