    Gallup survey results on favorability of the 5 living presidents

    In a recent Gallup survey of adults living in the U.S., former President Joe Biden earned the lowest favorability and the highest unfavorability of all five living presidents, while former President Barack Obama was held in the highest regard.

    While 57% held an unfavorable view of Biden, just 39% held a favorable view of him. 

    But Obama’s ratings were essentially the reverse, with 59% viewing the 44th president favorably versus just 36% who viewed him unfavorably.

    Biden, who served as vice president throughout Obama’s terms, had just concluded his own White House tenure when the poll was conducted from Jan. 21-27.

    President Donald Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20.

    The current commander in chief and former President Bill Clinton were both viewed favorably by 48% in the survey.

    Until recently, there had been six living presidents, but former President Jimmy Carter passed away late last year at the age of 100 years old.

  • Here’s why comedian Matt Rife traded glitzy city living for cozy Rhode Island suburbs

    Here’s why comedian Matt Rife traded glitzy city living for cozy Rhode Island suburbs

    Serhant founder and CEO Ryan Serhant reveals how those impacted by the California wildfires are managing evacuation and relocation on ‘The Claman Countdown.’

    Comedian Matt Rife is taking over the comedy scene – and – the Rhode Island suburbs in his latest real estate venture. 

    While appearing on the popular “Bad Friends” podcast last August, Rife revealed to fellow comedians and co-hosts Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino that he had recently purchased 80 acres of property in Rhode Island.

    According to Rife, Rhode Island originally “wasn’t even in the top 10” states he was looking to buy property in, but something specific drew him to the Ocean State.

    Rife cited sky-high real estate costs as one of the main reasons he left Los Angeles’ notorious comedy scene. 

    The state of the U.S. real estate market is causing many long-time residents to leave for less expensive areas — including one of 2024’s highest grossing comedians like Matt Rife, according to Billboard.

    “There were three things on my checklist. I wanted to get what I was actually f—ing paying for. ” Rife began. “There was this massive place that was probably the same price of a two-bedroom with no yard in L.A.”

    “I needed to have some kind of comedy scene, and Providence has the “Comedy Connection” out there, a great club. Boston is 45 minutes away, an amazing comedy scene, and also convenient for travel. Providence is like my Burbank Airport and Boston is like my LAX,” he joked.

    Rife went on to express gratitude for his “beautiful” new property, saying that although he has “never been a morning person,” he wakes up every single day “happy” in his home. 

    “I’m so happy I did that,” he said.

    THESE WERE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOMES SOLD IN 2024, ACCORDING TO REDFIN

    The young star continued, hilariously revealing that he had purchased his current home while visiting Rhode Island for the first time before one of his shows in Connecticut.

    “I was performing at Mohegan Sun, five shows or something like that,” Rife playfully bragged. “[Mohegan Sun] was an hour away, and we were on, I don’t know, Zillow, and I was like, ‘oh I’ll peep this real quick.’ And we went and checked it out, and I was like, ‘this [costs] like one show at Mohegan Sun.’ So, awesome.”

    BH Group CEO and founder Isaac Toledano speaks to Fox News Digital about how Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory will fuel positive activity in real estate.

    In December, Billboard revealed their list of top ten highest-grossing comedy tours of the year, with Rife quickly climbing the list and earning the number two spot for 2024.

    Rife’s comedy tour grossed more than most of the biggest names in comedy last year, topping all but one comedian: Nate Bargatze, whose tour had a net gross of $82.2 million in 2024, selling over one million tickets.

    According to the Billboard study, throughout Rife’s 256 shows in 2024, the new Rhode Island resident grossed about $57.5 million, selling roughly 733,000 tickets.

    The 10-person list has a combined $396.7 million in gross-earnings for 2024, a 52% spike from 2023 — making comedians top earners in the entertainment industry.

  • World Wetlands Day 2025 Theme and Significance: The Art of Living Safeguards Nature’s Lifelines

    World Wetlands Day 2025 Theme and Significance: The Art of Living Safeguards Nature’s Lifelines

    Bangalore, January 29: Every year on February 2nd, World Wetlands Day reminds us of the vital role wetlands play in sustaining life. This day marks the adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971, an international treaty recognising the critical importance of these ecosystems for both people and the planet. A prime example of this ecological treasure is the Haiderpur Wetlands, nestled within the Hastinapur Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh, India. Spanning approximately 6,900 hectares, this Ramsar site is home to over 333 bird species and a wealth of flora and fauna, making it a sanctuary of biodiversity.

    The theme for World Wetlands Day 2025, ‘Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future’ highlights the profound connection between wetlands and human well-being. Wetlands provide clean water, protect against floods, boost biodiversity, and offer recreational opportunities – all essential for a healthy and thriving society. Yet, their immense value often goes unnoticed. World Wetlands Day 2025 Date and Theme: Know History and Significance of the Day That Raises Awareness About the Importance of Wetlands.

    The Art of Living’s Commitment to Wetlands

    The Art of Living Social Projects is dedicated to preserving and restoring these natural lifelines. Wetlands are nature’s reservoirs, recharging groundwater, preventing soil erosion, and acting as carbon sinks to combat climate change. Unfortunately, urbanisation and industrial activities have significantly degraded many wetlands.

    At Haiderpur Wetlands, The Art of Living Social Projects has made a tangible impact. By engaging local communities, conducting educational workshops, and training youth as bird guides, the initiative has encouraged a sense of ownership and responsibility among the people. These efforts have transformed Haiderpur Wetlands from a neglected area into a vibrant haven for biodiversity. February 2025 Holidays and Festivals Calendar: Basant Panchami, Valentine’s Day, Maha Shivratri and More – Get Full List of Major Events in the Second Month of the Year.

    Looking Ahead: Protecting Wetlands, Protecting Ourselves

    This World Wetlands Day, The Art of Living Social Projects calls on individuals, organisations, and communities to join hands in safeguarding these critical ecosystems. Wetlands are more than water bodies; they are lifelines that sustain human well-being and environmental health.

    Let’s honour the vital role of wetlands by committing to their preservation – not just today, but every day. Together, we can ensure that wetlands continue to nurture biodiversity, protect against climate extremes, and enhance the quality of life for future generations. Because when wetlands thrive, so does humanity.

    Explore The Art of Living’s role in transforming the Haiderpur Wetlands here. The Art of Living, a non-profit, educational, and humanitarian organisation founded in 1981 by the world-renowned humanitarian and spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, works closely with the Government of India to relieve the country from water scarcity through various water conservation projects.
