18+ min ago (345+ words) Bill O'Reilly was left scratching his head when trying to understand ex-colleague Megyn Kelly's recent "analysis" of late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. In a YouTube video this week addressing "social media influencers," O'Reilly did a fact check of conspiracies pushed by Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes. The former Fox News host also addressed controversy his ex-colleague Kelly has stirred up over comments about Epstein. O'Reilly praised Kelly as a "very good broadcaster" and made clear he had no "malice" towards anyone he was covering. On the November 12 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly told NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon she knew someone "very close" to the Epstein case. The former Fox News host then clarified that this person did not think Epstein was a "pedophile." "So Megyn Kelly, my old colleague at Fox News, very popular, very good broadcaster,…...

Otherwise, I would probably focus on talking with your mother about how she made you feel, and try to figure out how you're going to move forward (or not) within your immediate family. Dear She's Not Into That, As someone who received a Barbie doll as a gift from my aunt, who I'm sure was trolling me, every year until I turned eighteen, I am sympathetic. In an ideal family / ideal world, your daughter would only receive gifts she's interested in and actually likes. And, more importantly, she'd be fully seen by all for who she is (right now,…...

Last weekend, Jamie had too much wine and said some horrible things to Lara. Jamie doesn't ordinarily get drunk like this, but now that I know how she really feels about Lara, I'm not sure I want to continue the marriage.

REUTERS/Kylie Cooper Bloomberg reports that some stores will struggle to keep shelves stocked with children's gifts thanks to the lingering damage of President Donald Trump's tariffs. "Parents getting around to do toy shopping this Black Friday week should expect a far thinner selection of toys than last year," said Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University. "After a strong start to the year, metric tons of containerized toy imports have been down double digits each month since May, with some months seeing imports drop more than 30 percent from 2024 levels," Miller told Bloomberg. The most recent data " available only through August due to the government shutdown " shows the tonnage of inbound toys in the category Miller researched were down almost 26 percent…...

37+ min ago (381+ words) The 99th edition of the holiday tradition included new balloons representing characters like Buzz Lightyear and Pac-Man. Marching bands, giant balloons and a holiday sleigh navigated through the canyons of high rises in New York City as the retailer Macy's hosted its 99th Thanksgiving Day Parade. On Thursday, the parade forged ahead in the United States despite the threat of strong winds. In the lead-up to the annual tradition, the National Weather Service had warned of potential gusts of up to 35 miles per hour, equivalent to 56 kilometres (35 miles) per hour. Powerful blasts of wind reaching 55km/h (34mph) could have grounded the event, as could sustained winds of 37km/h (23mph), per parade rules. Those precautions were adopted after the 1997 edition of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when fierce weather knocked a balloon representing the children's book The Cat in the Hat into a light post....

"That's just not accurate. There are many programs, one, in particular, [the] Special Immigrant Visa program, SIV, which has had strong bipartisan support for years on Capitol Hill. Thousands of people who worked with American forces in Afghanistan, as well as in Iraq, met conditions through vetting that enabled…...
