Rare U.S. Constitution Copy Fetches Over $11 Million At Auction Historic document discovered in filing cabinet of North Carolina plantation sells to anonymous bidder after intense bidding warA rare copy of the United States Constitution has captured significant attention after selling for over $11 million during an auction held on October 17, 2024, at Brunk Auctions in Asheville, North Carolina. The auction began with bids starting at $1.1 million and quickly escalated. This document holds immense historical value as it was part of the first batch of copies printed following the 1787 Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia. The signed document sold was among the few surviving copies, as only eight or nine are known to exist today. This sentiment resonates particularly deeply considering the previous record set by hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, who purchased another early copy of the Constitution for $43.2 million back in 2021.

If Donald Trump wins the Nov. 5 election, the New York Times will be partly responsible. “In people's minds, there's very little neutral middle ground,” he said. There is no middle ground between the two parties these days. And there’s certainly no middle ground between truth and lies. “I see no lack of passionate, morally confident actors sounding the alarm,” Sulzberger said in a speech this past spring.

Older Americans turn to marijuana for better sleep and pain relief: Here's what to knowOlder Americans turn to marijuana for better sleep and pain relief: Here's what to knowWhile cannabis has historically been more popular with younger groups, a growing number of older adults are turning to the drug for a variety of reasons — but are the potential benefits worth the risk? While many older adults may assume they are familiar with the effects of marijuana, that false sense of comfort could be dangerous, Krantz warned. Reducing pain is one of the common reasons that older adults may use cannabis, a poll found. Krantz pointed out that a medical marijuana card is not actually a prescription, because marijuana and cannabis products are not FDA-approved.

If Trump carries out what he has described on the campaign trail, his potential second term would be radically different. But these would represent incremental changes, whereas a re-elected Trump could fundamentally remake the world trading system. Economists think the broader tariffs Trump has proposed would similarly raise prices and, on net, hurt growth. Indeed, one goal of the tariffs Trump imposed on China, and Biden maintained, was to diversify away from China as a supplier. Everyone raised their tariffs.”In Trump’s first term, China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico all did retaliate; Japan and South Korea didn’t.

Tragedy Strikes Sapelo Island As Ferry Dock Collapse Claims Seven Lives A festive celebration turns to chaos when part of the ferry dock collapses during Cultural Heritage DayAt least seven people were killed and several others injured on Saturday when part of the ferry dock collapsed on Sapelo Island, Georgia, during Cultural Heritage Day, celebrating the Gullah-Geechee community. The dock, managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), was reportedly less than one year old, having been recently reconstructed. The tragedy struck as the annual Cultural Heritage Day festivities featured music, food, and celebrating the island's unique cultural legacy, founded by freed slaves from Georgia's coastal plantations. Even as investigations begin, the incident has left the Sapelo Island community and the state of Georgia reeling from the unexpected tragedy. Some believe stricter oversight and checks might prevent such fatal accidents when celebrating community and heritage.

"The 'Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association' is involved in financing the terrorist activities of the Hezbollah organization against Israel, and therefore the IDF has decided to attack this terrorist infrastructure," the IDF said in a statement Sunday. "The IDF continues to work forcefully to destroy Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure. Therefore, we call on people inside buildings used by Hezbollah to stay at least 500 meters away from them for the next few hours."

“Our office has developed a more modern understanding of sexual violence since the Menendez brothers first faced prosecution," the district attorney’s office said in a statement. “Monsters" has been a hit on Netflix since it first aired, and its success has been complemented by a documentary about the case, titled “The Menendez Brothers." Murphy recently defended his show from such criticism, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “The Menendez brothers should be sending me flowers." At the time of the Menendez trial, there was a limited understanding of child-abuse trauma and incest, she said, “and even whether children should be believed." At a news conference in recent days, the Menendez brothers’ aunt, Joan VanderMolen, said her nephews’ case also warrants a re-evaluation.

Alec Baldwin returns to 'Saturday Night Live' to spoof Bret Baier interview with Kamala HarrisBy The Associated PressNEW YORK -- Alec Baldwin has returned to “Saturday Night Live.”But the actor who won an Emmy for playing former President Donald Trump didn't reprise that role — he returned Saturday night to play Fox News' Bret Baier in an opening skit that spoofed this week's interview with Kamala Harris. The skit also mocked a moment Baier acknowledged was a mistake by playing the wrong clip of a Trump response. The skit closed — many interruptions later — with Harris asking: “Before I go, can I just say the thing I've been trying to say this whole time? Live from New York, it's Saturday night!”, with Baldwin joining her. Baldwin has hosted “SNL” a record 17 times, but hasn’t appeared on it recently.
