Alhambra

Illinois provides safe haven for wild mustangs from out West

By Linda Cook,

21 hours ago

Seven new wild mustangs have found a safe haven in Alhambra, Illinois after being rounded up in Nevada.

Photographer Wade Smith went to the mustang sanctuary to rescue and find new homes for these incredible animals.

A peaceful stretch of countryside providing a safe haven for wild mustangs removed from public lands in the West. Age and abilities don't matter - these horses will be given a second chance at life.

The seven new horses from Nevada add to the 34 already at the sanctuary, which was founded in 2008 after a couple became concerned about the future of America's wild mustangs.

The Bureau of Land Management regularly rounds up the horses from western ranges.

To out more about these wild horses and the Illinois sanctuary, click on the video above.

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

No, Trump Doesn't Care About the Midterms. The Only Election that Matters is Israel's.

There is a lot of commentary that Trump doesn’t care about the midterm. The fact is that at eighty and in poor health he is aware that he will not get another term. This explains his name being plastered on anything that stands still and his self-dealing. His base, which is a pie cut into three unequal pieces, all seem okay with this.

This Eases a Toothache Almost Instantly—No Orajel Needed

Clove oil has been used for toothaches for centuries, and it's actually one of the few home remedies with real research behind it. A clinical trial found it worked just as well as benzocaine, a common numbing agent, for easing dental pain. I keep a bottle on hand for those middle of the night toothache moments when getting to the dentist has to wait until morning. 😊

This Herb Was Used for Anxiety Attacks Before Xanax Existed

Passionflower has been used as a folk remedy for anxiety for generations, long before Xanax or other prescription options existed. What's interesting is that it's been studied directly against a prescription anti-anxiety medication, with some promising results. I keep it on hand for days when anxiety feels like it's creeping up. 😊

Mississippi Mud Potatoes Are the Side Dish Everyone Devours

Mississippi Mud Potatoes coat tender diced potatoes in a creamy mixture of cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream. As the casserole bakes, the sauce melts around every potato and the top develops bubbling, golden patches. Bacon can bring smoky crunch, while onions or green onions add savory freshness. The finished dish is rich, cheesy, and substantial enough to challenge the main course for attention.
