The best place to live in the U.S. has been revealed - and it might come as a surprise. Out of all 50 states, and an estimated 35,000 cities and towns in the country, a town in the Garden State has been crowned first place. Metuchen, New Jersey, technically considered a suburban borough in Middlesex County, is the best town to live in the U.S., according to Money. The quaint area, that is a little more than two square miles, has a population of more than 14,000 and is considered a part of Central New Jersey. The magician David Copperfield is among the famous names born there.

I lived in Middlesex county and know Metuchen well. This makes me laugh my ass off. Nothing wrong with it but the author should get out more.

Anybody on here griping about the list of best places to live, keep your mouths shut if you live in the South. Southern states have no "best places to live." It's terrible here, everywhere, and I wouldn't advise anyone to move here. Unless you're deeply conservative and woke, pay attention to what I'm writing. Don't come here! Let these backwood states remain as they are; they are not worth the hard work you'd put in to change them.

While there’s no publicly available information to suggest that either the Daily Mail or Money.com receives compensation from the cities it features as the best places to live, it’s important to note that many companies in certain featured cities do advertise with them. 😊

President Joe Biden's motorcade drove through deep blue Atlanta this weekend to little fanfare, leading many to wonder about the enthusiasm for his 2024 campaign. In 2020, the president became the first Democrat to win a presidential election in Georgia in 30 years. The party also won both senate seats in the Southern state. But the state's landscape has shifted significantly over the last four years, with recent polls suggesting former president Donald Trump is in the lead in the Peach State.

In addition to Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, along with other officials and bodyguards, were on the flight. The helicopter has been rpeortedly located around the village of Uzi in the forests of Arsbaran. Twenty rescue teams and drones have been sent to the area. But emergency crews have so far been unable to reach the location due to foggy conditions. Below is a video of the rescue teams attempting to locate Raisi’s helicopter.

Judge Aileen Cannon called out Special Counsel Jack Smith for his dirty tricks in Trump’s classified documents case in a rare Sunday filing. Jack Smith has repeatedly warned of a ‘significant, immediate’ threat to the government witnesses if their names were unredacted. The Special Counsel has been fighting to keep the names of government witnesses a secret. He also opposed the unsealing of discovery material because one document confirms the existence of another FBI investigation. In a five-page order, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, said that she is “disappointed” that Jack Smith has demanded redactions for “witness safety” when it benefits him, but ignored those concerns at other times.

As President Joe Biden scrambles to gain back black voters ahead of the 2024 election, his past may crawl back to bite him. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is reminding Americans that Biden has close ties to “racist” and known member of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV).He criticized the media for suppressing the story, that had it been a Republican, the press would be eating it up. Scott said Biden’s words and actions are a “disgusting reflection on who he is,” accusing him of dividing the nation rather than bringing unity.

Donald Trump-era tax breaks are set to expire next year meaning millions of Americans may have to start paying more in 2026. Trump made sweeping changes to the tax landscape through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017. This included lowering individual income tax rates, almost doubling the standard deduction and raising the federal estate tax exemption. It also slashed corporate income tax to 21 percent - its lowest level since 1993.However, these cuts are due to expire on January 1, 2026 - a date dubbed 'Sunset day' by financial experts.

Donald Trump’s Minnesota rally wasn’t anything you haven’t heard before. He ripped into Joe Biden, said he was destroying the country, and ginned up the crowd as always. Despite being a traditionally Democratic state, local Minnesota outlets noted how both parties are keeping watch. Trump came very close to wresting the state from Hillary Clinton in 2016. The Iron Range region, a stronghold for Democrats and chock-full of union families is beginning to drift into the GOP camp. Yet, the former president's dysfunctional podium led to some chuckles, which he incorporated into his act.

Donald Trump claimed Joe Biden faces a low bar in this year's presidential debates, and that simply remaining upright will be enough for the media to declare it a brilliant performance, reminiscent of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The two candidates agreed this week to meet for two televised showdowns ahead of the November election. During a speech on Saturday at the National Rifle Association, Trump, 77, said he had no hesitation in agreeing to the clashes with his 81-year-old opponent.

The president didn't use Trump or the GOP's name as he addressed graduating seniors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was clear who he was talking about as he brought up January 6 amid their commencement ceremony. 'Insurrectionists who stormed the capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some,' Biden told the seniors, graduating from the historically black, all-male institution. 'Not in my house.' Trump often refers to his supporters who ramsacked the Capitol by that term. 'Black police officers, black veterans, protecting the Capitol were called another word as you recall,' Biden continued. The president added that 'extremists close the doors of opportunity.'

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state media reported, without immediately elaborating. Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said the incident happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

This is not normal. The anti-Israel uprisings at colleges across the country have featured violence (from both sides), vandalism, unlawful occupations known as “encampments,” and many other acts that go well beyond free speech. And now, at the University of Michigan, this radical protest movement just crossed the line into dangerous new territory. This week, agitators reportedly showed up at the homes of University of Michigan Board of Regents members in the middle of the night, invading their private property. They chanted on their lawns and brought with them fake corpses, faux bloodied sheets, and lists of demands, including, bizarrely, completely unrelated desires such as “defunding the police.”

That caused AOC to flip out and chastise him, saying that she was standing up for women, and somehow, MTG talking about Crockett's eyelashes was racist and misogynist.

On one hand, there were some parts that many could view as anachronistic about the speech. Then again, Butker is a devout Catholic who delivered an address that aligned with those values. You can disagree without going crazy. And if Maher, an outspoken atheist and critic of organized religion, can shrug this off, so can everyone else.

The apparent crash of a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and other officials is likely to reverberate across the Middle East. That’s because Iran has spent decades supporting armed groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and the Palestinian territories that allow it to project power and potentially deter attacks from the United States or Israel, the sworn enemies of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
