These aren’t any ordinary coins. This year, in addition to being re-elected as YOUR President, it also marks the 40th anniversary of our Nation’s 40th President, Ronald Reagan." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/25/reagan-foundation-trump-rnc-quit-raising-money-off-ronald-reagans-legacy/ Opinion | Reagan Foundation to Trump, RNC: Quit raising money off Ronald Reagan’s legacy This isn’t the first time the 45th president has traded on the name or likeness of the 40th for his own purposes.

There was already evidence that he had sent more than $10,000 to two women who later testified in sexual misconduct investigations. He calls for the “categorical defeat of the Left” and says that without its “utter annihilation,” “America cannot, and will not, survive.”Like Gaetz, Hegseth is facing stories about sexual assault. Yesterday, officials in Monterey, California, released a police report detailing a 2017 sexual assault complaint against Hegseth. The report recounts chilling details of a drunk Hegseth blocking a California woman from leaving a hotel room and then sexually assaulting her. Hegseth says the encounter was consensual, but he paid the woman a settlement in exchange for a nondisclosure agreement.

Wicked Review: An Emotional Tribute To Weirdos Everywhere
Confused audiences everywhere decried the movie, wondering why on Earth Universal Pictures would choose to make it over a more likely slam dunk, like, say, a Wicked movie. Fast-forward to today and Wicked finally hits cinemas worldwide, and let’s just say, it was definitely worth the wait. Elphaba’s enemies-to-friends relationship with the oh-so-perfect Galinda (later Glinda, and eventually Glinda the Good Witch of the North) is also central to the plot. There’s no getting past the fact that this is a long movie that might have benefited from slimming down a smidge. Personally, *I couldn’t be happier* with Chu’s offering to the world – bring on next year for Part Two!

Donald Rumsfeld and the Strange History of Aspartame
Donald Rumsfeld and the Strange History of AspartameBy Robbie Gennet, ContributorWriter of words and music, author, educator, bodyboarder, orchardist and piano/keyboard enthusiast. Jan 6, 2011, 07:13 PM EST|Updated May 25, 2011|I have been reading up on this strange chapter in the history of Donald Rumsfeld and have learned two things. According to Dr. Martini, aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive and is responsible for 75% of such complaints to that agency. The FDA had previously banned aspartame based on this finding, only to have then-Searle Chairman Donald Rumsfeld vow to "call in his markers," to get it approved. Also, while at Searle, Rumsfeld was awarded Outstanding CEO in the Pharmaceutical Industry from the Wall Street Transcript (1980) and Financial World (1981) [true]!

Lakers’ six-game winning streak ends in late collapse to Orlando Magic
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers had their chances with the shot that’s the only one easy enough to have the word “free” in front of it. But in the final minutes of their first home loss of the season, a 119-118 collapse against the Orlando Magic, the unguarded 15-footer was the biggest hurdle. Anthony Davis missed three clutch free throws, including a pair with 18.9 seconds left, before Franz Wagner hit a winning three-pointer to snap the Lakers’ six-game winning streak. The Lakers missed all but two of their final eight free throws, a stretch that included Austin Reaves missing a pair and LeBron James splitting. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Lots of Republicans suddenly think the economy wasn’t that bad after all
During the Trump administration, Republicans were much more likely to say their economic positions had improved — and under Biden, far more likely to say it had worsened. Among Republicans, though, there’s been a 16-point drop in the percentage saying that they were doing worse a year ago. Under Trump, Republicans were on average 28 points more likely to say their position had gotten better than worse; Democrats were 16 points more likely to say it had gotten worse. Under Biden, Democrats were only one point more likely to say things had gotten better (across his entire term); Republicans were 41 points more likely to say they’d gotten worse. AdvertisementBy the time he’s inaugurated, in fact, Republicans may already have decided that things are pretty good after all.

Well, we don’t have Matt Gaetz to deal with any longer
I was working on a post in a desultory manner but decided to wait until tomorrow. Plus it’s snowing fairly heavily in Chicago so everything is a big mess of sloppy ice water. “It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Mr. Gaetz wrote on X. He added, “I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.” Mr. Gaetz was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for sexual misconduct until he resigned from the House on Nov. 13, after Mr. Trump announced his intention to nominate him.

Overnight Cable News Ratings for Nov. 15-18: CNN and MSNBC's Lost Weekend
Meanwhile, The Five finished out the week as Fox News’ most-watched show in the demo as well as with total viewers. The post-Election Week edition was the most-watched show among total viewers and the A25-54 demo. CNN and MSNBC fell well short of that mark—both networks finished Sunday with under 400,000 total viewers. The news wasn’t as positive for CNN, which saw its total viewer numbers remain below 500,000 in both primetime and total day. Over on Fox News, each program between 5 to 11 p.m. saw over 3 million total viewers with one notable exception.
