US Parents Defend Discipline Method After Viral Video Sparks Backlash

An Oregon couple, Katie and Dustin Maletich, have defended their parenting approach after a video showing their 9-year-old son doing push-ups and 60 squats went viral, drawing mixed reactions online, according to The Fox News Digital. The incident occurred when Dustin's stepson, Tommy, told his mother to "chill". As a response, Dustin, a prison corrections officer, asked him to complete a workout before calmly discussing respectful communication. Tommy later apologised, and the moment ended with a hug.

Viral Tea Strainer Cleaning Hack Goes Online, Here Are More Tricks

There is hardly a kitchen in the world without a tea strainer. But let us be honest – washing one can be a real hassle. Even after applying dishwashing soap, getting it completely clean is not always easy. A kitchen hack going viral online, however, shows a surprisingly simple way to rinse a soapy strainer. In the video, a person first holds the dish soap–covered strainer under running water, but it proves tricky to rinse. Then, they place a spatula between the tap and the strainer. The spatula redirects and evenly spreads the water flow, making it much easier to wash the soap away.

If you are looking for easy ways to clean your tea strainer, here are some simple hacks you can try:

1. Baking Soda and Vinegar

Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar in a bowl. Soak your tea strainer in it for about an hour. The fizzing will help loosen the stains and residue. Rinse well with water.

2. Boiling Water

Pour boiling water over the strainer or hold it under hot running water. This will kill germs and help dissolve any stuck tea leaves. Scrub gently with a brush if needed.

3. Lemon Juice

Cut a lemon in half and rub it all over the strainer, especially on stained spots. Leave it for a few minutes, then rinse with water. Lemon's natural acid works well to remove build-up.

4. Toothbrush and Dish Soap

Soak the strainer in warm, soapy water for a few minutes. Then, use an old toothbrush to scrub it gently. Rinse well afterwards.

5. Denture Tablets

Fill a bowl with warm water and drop in a denture cleaning tablet. Add your strainer and let it soak for 15–20 minutes. The bubbles will help clean it. Rinse and dry completely.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said. The United States and other western allies also stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an ...
