If you've ever searched the Valley for locations to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, it's likely that you found Rosie McCaffrey's on Camelback Road.

The Pub, however, has served as more than just a pub; it has served as a hub for the local Irish community and a gateway for outsiders to experience the rich Irish culture.

Sadly, Seamus McCaffrey has announced the closure of one of Phoenix's most well-liked Irish pubs.

In a post on Facebook on Monday, McCaffrey announced the news, writing, "My American dream continued when I opened Seamus McCaffrey’s in downtown Phoenix. Throughout the years I worked hard to help expand the local Irish community, bring Guinness on draught to Arizona, and ultimately bring a little piece of home to the desert. I opened Rosie McCaffrey’s Irish Pub over 20 years ago, which sadly has now come to an end.”

This week, Rosie McCaffrey's Irish Pub will officially close, and McCaffrey extends an invitation to everyone.

September 23 and 24, Friday and Saturday, are the last two days to visit.

Does not appear people are too happy with the casting of the newest Little Mermaid.

Halle Bailey--not to be confused with #Halle Berry is the singer who is cast as Ariel in the live action of The Little Mermaid.

The trailer dropped last week and reached an unfortunate milestone of 1 million dislikes and the comment section is filled with racist remarks.

In good news it has racked up 14 million views in 4 days.

Typically, a trailer gets 625,000 dislikes so this is considered above normal.

While there are racist comments others are asking, 'what's the big deal? It's not like The Little Mermaid is based on real and actual accounts'

How did you feel about the trailer?

The home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond lost its chief financial officer, 52-year-old Gustavo Arnal, on Friday, September 2. According to the New York Police Department, Arnal appeared to have committed su***de.

His body was discovered close to his residence and "appeared to suffer from injuries indicative from a fall from an elevated position," according to the police.

He was hired in 2020 to assist in the stabilization of the company as it needed to expand its offerings to satisfy consumer demand in a retail market that had been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Even though Arnal had only been employed at Bed Bath & Beyond for two years, he helped to maintain some continuity among the retailer's senior executives, who had all left, including the chief executive, chief operating officer, and chief stores officer.

Should more mental health resources be offered by corporations?

Twitter is now in the testing phase of launching the edit button. In the testing phase, employees are testing the ability to edit a tweet a few times within 30 minutes following posting the initial tweet.

It will also let you view your edit history of that tweet. Twitter said the time limit on fixing typos or context is to protect integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said.

Later in September Twitter Blue subscribers will have early access to the edit feature.

The test will be set to a single country first. No word on which country.

How do you feel about the time limit on editing your post?

Chris Rock recently revealed during one of his shows that he turned down hosting the Oscars next year.

Chris compared the Oscars asking him to host to Nicole Simpson going back to the restaurant on the night she was murdered, which has triggered a lot of backlash over this offensive comparison.

He continued during his show talking about Will Smith, "He’s bigger than me. The state of Nevada would not sanction a fight between me and Will Smith."

Do you think Chris Rock will ever forgive Will Smith for what happened the night of the Oscars?

In response to the #KobeBryant images taken at the scene of the helicopter crash, the jury has decided that Los Angeles County must pay Vanessa Bryant $16 million.

The nine jurors were all in agreement, according to ESPN. The decision-making process took them 4.5 hours.

#VanessaBryant reportedly sobbed while the verdict was being announced, according to the source.

In her testimony, Vanessa discussed the psychological pain the images cause her.

She said, "I live in fear every day of being on social media and these popping up. I live in fear of my daughters being on social media and these popping up."

Do you think she was awarded enough money?

According to USA Today, the Cassville School District in Missouri announced on Tuesday that it will be implementing a new policy under which kids could be disciplined with a paddle. Merlyn Johnson, the superintendent of the school system, said parents were informed in June that the policy had been approved by the board. Before using such a method, it will be necessary to obtain written consent from the student's family. This permission may only be given "when other forms of punishment have failed and only in appropriate form, when the principle approves it."

According to the regulation, the only physical punishment that is permitted is "swatting the buttocks with a paddle," which must be administered by the school's principal in front of a witness and never in front of other pupils. According to Johnson, the amount of swats could vary depending on the student's age, with older students receiving up to three and smaller students receiving one or two.

When corporal punishment is required, it must be applied in a way that leaves no room for bodily harm or injury, according to the policy. "It is not acceptable to strike a student in the head or face."

Would you want this implemented in our school districts?

#President Biden has announced a plan to cancel up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for millions of Americans.

Borrowers who earn less than $125,000 per year will be eligible for up to $10,000 in loan forgiveness, while Pell Grant recipients will be eligible for an addition $10,000.

Current students will also be eligible for debt relief, but not future students, the White House says.

Biden will also defer student loan repayments until the end of the year.

Most people will have their debt cancelled automatically, but some will have to apply for debt relief, according to the Education Department.

Is this the right move?
