The money was supposed to be the main focus. Michael Dell, his wife Susan, and President Donald Trump announced a $6.25 billion donation to “Trump Accounts”—investment funds for American children—in the Roosevelt Room of the White House at the beginning of December 2025. The figure was astounding. However, in a matter of hours, a completely different discussion that had nothing to do with money had taken over social media. Everyone was staring at Susan Dell’s face. Images from the event quickly went viral, and the response was swift and occasionally cruel. Susan Dell, 62, looked very different from pictures taken…

Born in Kansas City, Sierra Foster writes about politics and serves as Senior Editor at kbsd6.com. She was raised paying attention to this city, not just living in it. Sierra has a strong, deep connection to Kansas City, from the neighborhoods east of Troost to the discussions that take place in the city hall halls. Sierra, who is presently enrolled at the University of Kansas to pursue a degree in Political Science, applies the rigor of academic study to her journalism. She writes about politics in Missouri and Kansas as someone who genuinely cares about what happens to the people in these communities—the policies that impact them, the leaders who represent them, and the civic forces influencing their futures—rather than as an outsider watching from a distance. Her editorial coverage encompasses state-level policy, local government, and the national political currents that permeate bi-state regional life. Whether it's a city council vote or a Senate race, she has a special gift for turning complex policy language into writing that feels urgent, relatable, and worthwhile. Sierra seldom sits still off the page. She claims that playing soccer on a regular basis has sharpened her instincts for political reporting because of the sport's teamwork, strategy, and requirement to read a changing game in real time. She's probably somewhere in Kansas City with her friends when she's not writing or on the pitch, discovering new reasons to adore a city she already knows so well.
Coastal towns experience a certain kind of dread when meteorologists begin to use the term “rapid intensification.” It is not the same as the gradual escalation of a normal storm warning. It indicates that the window is closing, the numbers are rising quickly, and there is less room for error. That’s precisely where the Gulf Coast is at the moment, watching Tropical Storm Isaias intensify hourly as it churns through waters that are the warmest on record. The ninth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic season, Isaias, developed Wednesday morning in the warm waters off eastern Mexico. This is unusual…
Soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas were going about their daily business early on November 5, 2009. They were in line inside the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, a sizable facility where soldiers awaiting deployment receive their immunizations and physical examinations prior to being sent out. It was routine, crowded, and procedural. Then 39-year-old Army psychiatrist and major Nidal Malik Hasan got up, yelled “Allahu Akbar,” and started shooting at defenseless, unarmed men and women. Thirteen soldiers were killed and thirty-two more were injured by the time the shooting stopped, which didn’t stop until a civilian police officer shot Hasan, paralyzing…
When people search for “Steven McQueen Karate Kid,” they frequently find something more fascinating than they anticipated because they are searching for the incorrect name. The King of Cool, the man behind Bullitt and Le Mans, is not the Steve McQueen associated with The Karate Kid. It’s his son. In the original 1984 movie, Chadwick Steven McQueen, better known by his stage name Chad, portrayed Dutch, who was perhaps the most genuinely menacing member of the Cobra Kai dojo. The only child of Steve McQueen and actress Neile Adams, Chad McQueen was born in Los Angeles on December 28, 1960.…
When filming for The Karate Kid began in Beijing in July 2009, Jaden Smith was eleven years old. Not twelve. Not nearly a teenager. Eleven. At this age, the majority of children are still figuring out middle school and are not burdened with a major studio franchise in another country. Since July 8th is Jaden’s birthday, he was 11 for almost the whole production, which took place from July to October 2009. He was still one month away from turning twelve when the movie debuted in theaters on June 11, 2010. Dre Parker, the character he portrayed, was meant to…
There are times in a courtroom when the legal arguments, the formalities of the process, and the cautious language used by the prosecution and defense are all overlooked. One of those occasions was October 5th in Miami County, Ohio. That was important, but not because of the sentence. due to a 10-year-old girl’s letter.

Every October, a million households engage in the same argument: what should we wear this year? Walking straight out of the Valley and into a black karate gi has been the solution for many people lately. This year is no exception to Cobra Kai costumes’ status as one of Halloween’s most iconic looks. The esthetic hasn’t diminished at all since the show ended. Something about the image makes it nearly ideal for a costume party. Even for those who haven’t watched a single episode, the sleeveless black tunic, matching pants, embroidered logo patch on the chest, and that yellow-and-black headband…
When a child’s words are read aloud in court, a certain kind of silence descends. That silence came twice on Monday in a courtroom in Ohio. First, when Alyssa Flynn, then twelve, wrote a letter and it was read into the record. Then again, ten-year-old Ava’s words came next. The man who murdered their mother was the target of both. Both were devastating in the way that only pure, uncalculated grief can be.

The internet always chooses one version of a person. A fixed idea, a thumbnail, a three-second clip. That version of Gorgeous Doll has changed so frequently that even her age is now a legitimate point of contention, which, to be honest, says more about how people interact with social media celebrities than it does about her.

In Karate Kid: Legends, William Zabka does make an appearance. For those who watched six seasons of Cobra Kai, the brief, low-key cameo at the very end of the movie carries a weight that a two-minute scene probably shouldn’t be able to. The problem with these characters is that. They still have significance after forty years. It is easy to set up. Following the conclusion of the main plot, Daniel LaRusso returns to California and visits the former dojo owned by Mr. Miyagi. When the camera pans back, Johnny is seen standing in that well-known area, smiling, and proposing a…
