Coole Swan Coole SwanWe hope you love the products we recommend! But I have to confess that, even though I typically pride myself on not being too picky, Irish cream liqueur has always been a tough one for me. As the judges put it, “Finally, we arrive at the only Irish cream liqueur I would safely rate above Baileys: Coole Swan”. Its quality ingredients, like Irish single-malt whisky, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh Irish cream, shine through without coating your mouth in an unpleasant film or making the back of your throat tighten in response to sickly sweetness. It’s the first cream liqueur I’ve tried that truly seemed like it should be sipped from a glass rather than scooped with a spoon for dessert.

It’s really weird’.

Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a GOP sponsor of the legislation. The legislation would compel the Justice Department to disclose files tied to its investigation of Epstein and his death in federal prison. Massie said he was hopeful a decisive House vote would send a message to Senate Republicans who’ve signaled little appetite for the measure thus far. AdvertisementIn a Truth Social post on Sunday evening, Trump said Republicans should vote for the bill after previously trying to block it. His reversal occurred after it was clear many House Republicans planned to vote for the release of the Epstein files.

In a separate interview on the same NBC show, Kaine stressed that he does not “need a permission slip from” Schumer to vote a certain way.

Netanyahu has long asserted that creating a Palestinian state would reward Hamas and eventually lead to an even larger Hamas-run state on Israel’s borders. The creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel is seen internationally as the only realistic way to resolve the conflict for the long term. Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state has “not changed one bit” and is not threatened by external or internal pressure. In September, after the U.K., Australia and Canada formally recognized a Palestinian state, Netanyahu blasted the countries for proffering a “prize” to Hamas. The military later said its forces had killed someone in the Far’a area of the West Bank who “attempted to harm them,” with no details.
