jackpot spin ph Donald Trump has an "aching thirst to monetize the presidency," according to the president elect's own biographer. Tim O'Brien, who spent massive amounts of time with Trump before writing TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald , appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss Trump's recent transition moves. O'Brien, who has previously commented on how he perceives that Trump's brain is "degrading," was asked about the items Trump sells on his social media site, Truth Social. ALSO READ: America's dark past and the key to stopping Trump's authoritarian rule Saying Trump is preparing to "fatten his wallet" in the new administration, O'Brien notes that the former and incoming president's habit of selling merchandize with his name on it is "low-hanging fruit." The writer said that private citizens are given broad discretion to engage in legitimate LLC transactions, but that Trump is taking things to a new level. "There is a lot of freedom there," he said, noting that the founders "never anticipated someone would enter the White House both with his wallet wide open and with the aching thirst to monetize the presidency." "So, when you don't have transparency under who the investors are or who the beneficiaries are in these LLCs, it raises an obvious financial conflict of interest that voters and policymakers should be concerned about."

Photographer catches impressive glimpse of Starliner docked to ISSTaylor Swift fans notice 'heartwarming' Travis Kelce slip up on New Heights podcast READ MORE: Jason Kelce reveals whether he and Kylie want more kids after four By JAKE FENNER Published: 20:08 GMT, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 20:39 GMT, 27 November 2024 e-mail View comments Fans of pop superstar Taylor Swift are in stitches after her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce , accidentally slipped up on the latest episode of his 'New Heights' podcast. Travis and his brother Jason Kelce were discussing their latest movie review - when they recalled one of the first films they analyzed: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, as demanded by a group of Swift's fans. While trying to recall their review of that movie, Travis accidentally fumbled his words - referring to one of the 'Look What You Made Me Do' singer's recent works. 'What did we give, uh, Tortured-,' Kelce said before cutting himself off while he realized he was about to say the name of Swift's latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department.' '—I mean, not Tortured,' he quickly corrected, laughing under his breath. 'What did we give, uh, Traveling Pants?' Neither brother dwelled on the mistake, but Swift's fans caught it and blew up on social media. Taylor Swift fans pounced on a 'heartwarming' slip up on the latest Travis Kelce podcast episode Kelce accidentally referred to Swift's most recent album, sending her fans into stitches Read More Former NFL star Kroy Biermann takes job at 'rigging and erection' company amid 'messy' divorce 'Travis almost saying tortured poets instead of traveling pants lmfao,' read one post on X, formerly Twitter, while another user commented that it was 'comedy gold.' 'I'm dying at the cuteness of this omg he has her album on his mind, it's so heartwarming,' someone else posted, while another declared it to be 'possibly the cutest thing that has ever happened in the history of forever.' 'Taylor is ALWAYS on his mind and it's absolutely adorable,' another fan gushed, while others joked, 'I also bring up tortured poets in every single conversation I have.' Swift hasn't made any road trips to any Chiefs games this season, choosing instead to attend multiple home games in Kansas City so far this year. With some time off before her final shows in Toronto and Vancouver, it's possible that Swift could be back in KC this week as the Chiefs play a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday. Kelce's had a sluggish season so far - leading the team in passing yards but is only fourth among tight ends in the league.

The three get together to read personal essays by students at the high school Lewis attended. Lewis grew up around the 7 Mile Area of Detroit and went to Consortium College Prep, which is now called Voyageur College Prep. A couple of years ago, Lewis started a scholarship: the Cam Lewis Voyage to Success Scholarship. Bills cornerback Cam Lewis celebrates a play during a game in Seattle on Oct. 27. “I always wanted to give back in any certain way,” Lewis said. “I was able to get a scholarship coming out of high school, but not a lot of people are able to do that, so just any amount of money that I can give can help them in their college experience.” Every year, he awards $2,000 to five different graduating students, doling out $10,000 total per year. Applications revolve around five different criteria, including an essay that Lewis reads and judges himself, alongside Yvonne and Brandon. The prompt revolves around what students have overcome in their high school career. “It's cool,” Lewis said. “It's a glimpse into all these kids' lives. You never know what they're going through. Everybody goes through different things.” ‘He gives so much back’ This weekend, Lewis will return to Detroit as the Bills head to a major tilt with the 12-1 Lions. It’s an exciting homecoming for Lewis. “It shaped me a lot of different ways, but I’m just glad I grew up in Detroit,” Lewis said. Lewis gets back to Detroit a few times a year. When he does, he always catches up with his high school football coach, John Pittman. Pittman is so proud of how far Lewis has gone in football, and how much he gives when he returns. “Cam, he’s just such a hard worker, and he gives so much back,” Pittman said. “When he comes and talks to a lot of the students, he definitely gives a lot to each program.” Lewis doesn’t just visit Voyageur since Pittman has switched schools a couple of times. Lewis always goes wherever Pittman goes. “Every program I’m a part of, he always comes back, talks to the players, telling them how you know you can make it no matter where you go,” Pittman said. After high school, Lewis went on to play at University at Buffalo. There, he caught the eyes of the Bills. Lewis joined the Bills in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, and he worked his way up from the practice squad to cement a Swiss-army-knife role for the Bills' defense. “I never thought I'd be at this level playing for this long and stuff like that,” Lewis said. “So, anytime I can go back and see and then give some kids some knowledge and stuff like that, I always do that.” His advice takes on the flavor of the city that raised him. “Being from Detroit, you have a mentality that, I guess what we call it, like a hustler's mentality,” Yvonne said. “A hustler's mentality means you always have to go get it, just be a go-getter. So that's like a staple phrase, a hustler mentality for the city. And he's always had that. ... He’s a self motivator.” ‘Let’s just give it a shot’ Yvonne Lewis had her sons play all sorts of sports growing up. Baseball was a favorite for Cam, and he got involved early. When Cam was 5, older brother Brandon had an 8U game, coached by their dad. “We were short a player, and we needed somebody to go in the game,” Yvonne said. “So, they stuck Cameron in here. He was five years old. I was like, ‘Okay, you really going to let him play?’” Yvonne says Cam only came up to about the shoulders of his teammates. He recalls his legs being so much shorter that teammates caught up to him on the base paths. But he didn’t let that stop him. When he got older, Lewis transferred to Voyageur, so he couldn’t play his first year there. He also had a mindset slightly surprising for a player who would go on to play in the NFL. “His sophomore year, when he came in, he told me, he was like, ‘I’m a baseball player,’ ” Pittman said. “I was like, ‘What?’ ” But with Pittman’s encouragement, Lewis began to put more work into football. “ ‘If you think I’m good, then OK, let’s just give it a shot,’ ” Pittman recalls Lewis saying. “ ‘Let’s work at it.’ And it just went from there.” Yvonne had seen how Cam’s determination played out in the past. “Once he put his mind to it, he really says he gets stuck on it,” she said. “It's like his tunnel vision at that point.” Lewis was evolving as the program did, too. “When Cameron got there, that was actually our second season, going into our third season,” Pittman said. “We were actually building the program. So, he actually built the foundation of the program to where it is now today.” The team didn’t have a practice field or even a home field. Lewis remembers it being challenging. He embraced that. “We always go by the saying, ‘Embrace every struggle and live the grind,’ ” Pittman said. “So, we knew it was gonna be a struggle, just having the kids having some way to practice, building a weight room, and just giving them just belief in themselves. Like, ‘Hey, if you guys believe in yourself, sky’s the limit.’ And then they just bought in. It was just brotherhood.” The brotherhood was small. Pittman estimates there were around 24 players on the team. Lewis played all over the field except offensive line, Pittman said. “Relentless,” Pittman said. “He wanted to do it all. I mean, his senior year, we were struggling. We were questioning quarterbacks. He’s like, ‘Coach, give me the ball. I’m the quarterback.’ ” So, play quarterback he did. Lewis said he didn’t throw the ball a ton, but he was ready to step in. “We needed somebody on offense,” he said. “At the time, I was playing both ways, but the majority was just on offense. I was like I need somebody to hand me the ball, at least. I need to make some plays. But it was cool, though.” Bills cornerback Cam Lewis trips up 49ers tight end George Kittle during a game at Highmark Stadium on Dec. 1. An emotional return Lewis’ ability to play anywhere on the field has served him well at football’s highest level. “He can do it all, especially in the secondary,” Pittman said. “He’s not scared to go up against bigger and taller. He’s always been pretty much a smaller guy on the field. But I mean, heart is like a lion.” Now, it’s helping the Bills. Lewis has played a career-high 49% of defensive snaps this season (403 snaps). His previous high was 22% in 2020. “Position flexibility,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said when asked what Lewis means to the team. “Just incredibly valuable for us: playing nickel, playing dime, playing special teams, playing safety. He’s just done a phenomenal job, and fun to watch him grow.” Lewis sees the uptick in both as a reflection of his determination to improve his game and his coaches’ trust in him. On Sunday at Ford Field, Lewis will have a chance to show his growth in front of a massive crowd of family and friends. “Fifty-five total,” Lewis said on expected attendance. “Yeah, it’s gonna be a lot.” Lewis said that number is about normal for when he plays in Detroit. He expects he’ll be a little emotional before the game. It's part of the journey. “I’m just happy to come from such a hustle city, grind city,” he said. “It did shape me to the guy I am today, molded me in the right direction to have my good mindset, my motivation of what I want to do. So yeah, I’m just glad to be from there.” Injury report The Bills’ secondary could be quite depleted Sunday. Cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday’s game. Douglas injured his knee against the Rams, and he did not practice all week. McDermott said ahead of practice that he was not yet ready to name who would start in Douglas’ place. The following Bills players are questionable: tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), safety Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder), safety Damar Hamlin (back/ribs), defensive end Casey Toohill (ribs), tight end Quintin Morris (shoulder/groin), offensive lineman Tylan Grable (groin), defensive end Dawuane Smoot (wrist) and linebacker Baylon Spector (calf). Rapp, Hamlin and Toohill were in red noncontact jerseys during the portion of practice open to media. Those three players were limited Friday. For the Lions, linebacker Trevor Nowaske (concussion) has been ruled out. No other Detroit players carry an injury designation.

County Executive Steuart Pittman announced Saturday that a new collective bargaining agreement has been reached between Teamsters Local 570 and Ecology Services Inc. “I am pleased that curbside collection services will soon return to normal for our residents,” Pittman said in a news release. “I also want to thank our Department of Public Works and the local contractors who stepped up over the past three months to ensure essential services were maintained for our communities.” The strike disrupted services in Service Areas 5, 8, and 15, covering Pasadena, Severna Park, Odenton, Laurel and Maryland City. About 70 contracted sanitation workers walked off the job Sept. 4, citing demands for better pay and improved safety measures. The union stated in a press release that management had offered only a 38-cent per hour raise and failed to address critical safety concerns. The safety issues gained prominence after a worker sustained a severe head injury earlier this summer when he fell from a truck due to heat exhaustion and lack of water. The strike occurred amid heightened attention on sanitation worker safety, following the deaths of two Department of Public Works employees in Baltimore City. Ronald Silver II, 36, died Aug. 2 from hypothermia while on his trash collection route. On Nov. 8, Timothy Cartwell, 60, was killed on the job when he was caught between a utility pole and a trash truck. Their deaths have led to City Council hearings on working conditions within Baltimore’s DPW. Details of the new agreement between Anne Arundel County workers and Ecology Services Inc. have not been disclosed. Have a news tip?

Though her request for the credit card company to lower the rate was refused, the short phone call resulted in them refunding the last three months interest she had paid. “The call was literally four minutes long and I just got back hundreds of dollars,” she disclosed to her followers. The news was greeted enthusiastically by the channel’s users and there were 1, 286 comments on the post.

Another confessed: I saw a TikTok about this 2 weeks ago. I immediately contacted my bank and have 0% interest on my credit card for 12 months.” Yet another commented: "I got a 5% decrease. Thanks friend." Responses to the video revealed that it’s not only Capital One that’s responding positively to its account holders. Most read in Money “Discover gave me 0% APR for a year, chatted with them right after I saw this. Thanks for posting!” said one TikTok user. Meanwhile another posted: “I just called discover and they lowered mine 6% - she said it was a standard interest lowering – took about 3 minutes – just be as polite as possible.” However it didn’t work for everybody. “I called all 3 of my CC companies and tried this and they all said NO,” posted one disappointed commenter. NEW YEAR, NEW START Christmas is an expensive time of year and with 2025 just around the corner now is the perfect time to take stock of your credit card finances. Americans were expected to spend up to $2,100 this festive season, according to CBS News , with many overspending and over-extending their budgets . With widespread deals and sales to tempt them, around 27% of US shoppers used debt for holiday purchases in 2023, according to data collected by Morning Consult Pro. FICO, the most widely known credit scoring system, and its rival VantageScore both use a range of 300-850 points. Below we list what's considered a good and bad credit score, according to both systems. FICO Poor: 300-579 Fair: 580-669 Good: 670-739 Very good: 740-799 Exceptional: 800 or above VantageScore Very poor: 300-499 Poor: 500-600 Fair: 601-660 Good: 661-780 Excellent: 781-850 What’s more, 30% of these were still paying off last year’s purchases this year. Author and financial expert Rachel Cruze advises consumers never to use the festive season as an excuse for going into debt. Writing for Fox News , Cruze said: “The problem starts with believing it’s not a big deal to go into debt or swipe a credit card for your holiday gifts. “The easiest way to break this habit we have as a society is to cut up your cards and decide you’ll only use the money that’s in your bank account.” She advises preparing now for next Christmas. “Once January 2025 hits, start saving a little bit every single month for your Christmas expenses,” she says. “Also, remember that lots of Black Friday sales start in mid-November. Planning ahead for Christmas 2025 will help you hop on those deals early.” Read More on The US Sun One couple ended up $20,000 in debt across multiple credit cards after spending on their home.

Liverpool sealed a historic win over Real Madrid to maintain their unbeaten run intact in the Champions League Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Champions League after a 2-0 win over Real Madrid. Arne Slot's team climbed to the top of the European competition after second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. Caoimhin Kelleher saved a penalty in the second half, denying Kylian Mbappe the opportunity to equalise. Alisson , who is currently sidelined with injury, could be seen smirking from behind the bench as Kelleher got down to his left to deny the French superstar. Mohamed Salah also stepped up from the spot but saw his effort wide. The Reds, along with Atalanta and Inter Milan, remain the only teams unbeaten in the competition. Following the victory, Liverpool are two points clear of second-placed Inter Milan, who beat RB Leipzig 1-0 on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Dortmund share the same 12 points in third and fourth place, respectively. As the hectic schedule is set to continue through next month, the ECHO has taken a look at Liverpool's upcoming league fixtures in all competitions. Manchester City (H) - Premier League - Sunday, December 1. Newcastle United (A) - Premier League - Wednesday, December 4. Everton (A) - Premier League - Saturday, December 7. Girona (A) - Champions League - Tuesday, December 10. Fulham (H) - Premier League - Saturday, December 14. Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup - Wednesday, December 18. Nonetheless, Liverpool are well placed to secure a place in the last-16, with games against Girona, Lille and PSV still to come in their final three fixtures in the Champions League . Their focus will now turn to the Premier League, however, with Pep Guardiola's City set to visit Anfield this weekend. Eight points separate the two sides following the Reds' impressive campaign under Slot so far.

COP29 ends with deal on climate finance after bitter fight

I visited UK’s strictest pub... there’s a no phone policy & coats go on a hook – but one rule went too farBig Ten could place four teams in playoff, thanks to IU's riseNorth Korean leader Kim Jong-un has held a policy-setting key meeting of the country's ruling party last week ahead of the new year, state media KCNA reported. The "strongest" response strategy towards the United States was declared during the party for the country's safety and national interests, the report said, without providing any details. The trilateral alliance between South Korea, the US and Japan has expanded to a "nuclear military bloc" and South Korea has become an "anti-communism outpost" for the US, the KCNA report added. "The reality clearly suggests which direction we should go and what we should do and how," the report said. The meeting, which was held from December 23-27, according to the report, also reviewed the handling of floods earlier this year, including the plan that brought those affected to Pyongyang, the capital. The reclusive state also vowed to promote relations with "friendly" countries during the meeting. The assembly of the party and government officials often lasts a few days and has been used in recent years to make key policy announcements. The 11th plenary session of the eighth central committee of the Workers' Party of Korea wraps up a year in which Russian President Vladimir Putin held a summit with Kim and signed a deal that included a mutual defence pledge. Washington and Seoul have criticised the two countries' military co-operation, including what they say is a dispatch of North Korean troops to fight for Russia in its war against Ukraine. Previously, state media had released Kim's speech on New Year's Day.

Warning: This article contains disturbing details of alleged animal abuse. People on social media are calling for a boycott of Butterball brand turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving after People for Ethical Treatment of Animals resurfaced an old video, causing confusion and disturbance. The video, posted to PETA’s Instagram account last week, highlighted disturbing allegations from an investigation at a Butterball plant that reportedly took place nearly 20 years ago. According to PETA’s website, the 2006 “undercover investigation” that allegedly took place at a Butterball slaughterhouse in Ozark, Arkansas, found workers physically and sexually abusing live turkeys. However, Butterball said these allegations took place before the company became privatized and certified by American Humane. The resurfaced video zeroes in on the alleged sexual abuse of the live turkeys. The caption on the video states, “Do you know what happened to your Butterball turkey before they were killed?” However, PETA did not specify that the content was from 18 years ago. Still, a majority of the comments encourage people to boycott Butterball ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Videos of other people on social media discussing PETA’s post have sparked confusion that there is a recall associated with it, but there are currently no active recalls for Butterball turkeys. Scripps News reached out to Butterball and its spokesperson provided the following statement: "We are aware of a video from nearly 20 years ago, which is being re-shared across social media. This video is not current and was taken prior to Butterball becoming a private company and prior to our engagement and certification through American Humane. Animal care and well-being is central to who we are as a company, and we are committed to the ethical and responsible care of our flocks. Eleven years ago, Butterball was the first, and remains the only, turkey company to be American Humane certified. That means we have yearly audits conducted by a third party to ensure compliance with our 200+ science-based standards of best practice for care of turkeys, well exceeding industry best practices. We are proud of this designation that no other turkey company can claim and have a zero-tolerance policy for animal mistreatment."

Thanksgiving 2024 is almost here, with Black Friday following shortly after. Although several stores used to remain open on the federal holiday for early Black Friday shopping, many have started to close on Thanksgiving so employees can have the day off.
