The death of Jesse Jackson, while sad, did give us some incredible moments this week. For instance, Kamala Harris was given the stage – and the microphone – during his funeral on Friday. We need to get back to the basics in this country to boost morale, and I think Kamala Harris making an ass out of herself is the thing that could wake us all up. I still, for the life of me, can't decode what the whole "unburdened by what has been" thing means. I'd imagine Jesse Jackson had no clue, either.

“It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show,” Daryl Hannah writes. “It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show,” Hannah, 65, wrote in the op-ed published Friday. Kennedy and Bessette Kennedy died in a plane crash in 1999. Hannah wrote that since the show’s debut, she received many “hostile and even threatening” messages from viewers who believe the series’ depictions. Before Hannah’s op-ed, Murphy received criticism from Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr.

Trump encouraged regional leaders gathered at his Miami-area golf club to take military action against drug trafficking cartels and transnational gangs that he says pose an “unacceptable threat” to the hemisphere’s national security. Advertisement“The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries,” Trump said. But with the summit, Trump aimed to turn attention to the Western Hemisphere, at least for a moment. Trump is scheduled to travel to Beijing later this month to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Noem said Trump will announce “a big agreement” at the summit centered on “how we’re going to go after cartels and drug trafficking in the entire Western Hemisphere.”Advertisement___

Severe storms brought damaging tornadoes to parts of the central US Thursday and Friday, shredding buildings into piles of debris and killing at least eight people. The severe weather threat that started Wednesday will largely wind down after Saturday. Competing air masses with record temperatures in the East and the cooler weather behind an elongated cold front are fueling the severe weather threat. Deadly tornadoes hit Michigan and OklahomaAmong the more than a dozen reports of tornadoes, several were confirmed in America’s heartland. In southwestern Michigan Friday afternoon, four people were killed and others injured as severe thunderstorm activity kicked up a destructive tornado.

The study could provide insight into the voting habits of Gen Z men skewing further right in the last presidential election. According to the study, 31% of Gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband, and 33% said a husband should have the final say over big decisions. Despite women overall giving drastically different responses to the same questions, Gen Z women were still more likely than their Boomer counterparts to say a woman should always obey her husband, with 18% of Gen Z women answering yes, compared to only 6% of Boomer women. Outside of their views on marriage, Gen Z was also more likely to agree with statements more closely associated with traditional gender roles. Gen Z men also agreed at a 21% rate that a man taking an active role in child care made them less masculine, compared to just 8% of Boomer men and 14% of Gen Z women.

The acquisition would give Ellison’s Paramount control of CNN and CBS News, the latter of which he tasked Bari Weiss to oversee in late 2025. In February, CNN averaged just 807,000 viewers in primetime, compared to 1,136,000 for MS Now and 2,612,000 for Fox News. Measuring total day viewership, CNN drew 564,000 viewers, behind MS Now’s 708,000 and Fox News’ 1,718,000. Regardless of format or talent, CNN is not going to overtake Fox News and is unlikely to claw back any meaningful market share. The priority will be integrating Paramount+ and HBO Max and leveraging the combined live sports portfolios of CBS Sports and TNT Sports.
