‘Really screwed up’: Trump points finger at Dems in the wake of ‘terrorism on his watch’
11+ min ago (125+ words) Donald Trump on Sunday pointed the finger at former President Joe Biden, saying he "screwed up," presumably in connection with a recent shooting of National Guard members that is being investigated as terrorism. Without announcing what he was talking about, Trump took to Truth Social over the weekend and lobbed the following attack: "Crooked Joe Biden, Mayorkas, and so-called "Border Czar" Kamala Harris really screwed our Country by letting anyone and everyone come in totally unchecked and unvetted!" PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing extremism, wrote, "Trump refuses to take responsibility for terrorism happening on his watch." See the full post here.

NFL Week 13 player props, picks, best bets: Jaylen Warren, RJ Harvey
12+ min ago (444+ words) I spoke a bit too soon last week. Between an injury to Tee Higgins and a called-back Travis Kelce touchdown, it was a nightmare at the office for player props. Injuries and some poor luck certainly contributed to the -6 unit betting day, which obviously takes away a big chunk of our season profits. That's simply life in the gambling space. We're still profiting 3.57 units this year despite the poor results last week. The Buffalo Bills have had an obscene amount of injuries pile up on them this season, and Sunday could be where things hit a tipping point for Sean McDermott's group. Since Ed Oliver was lost for the season, the Bills' run defense has been a disaster. Buffalo has allowed 5.25 yards per carry to opposing running backs, the second-worst figure in the NFL. I don't see things getting any…...

Two Retail Chiefs Take Stock of a Make-or-Break Holiday Shopping Season
16+ min ago (1680+ words) Department stores may not be as important as they once were, but they still reliably take center stage at one point in the year: The Christmas shopping season. They conjure memories of visits to Santa, ornate window displays and Mariah Carey melodically describing all she wants for Christmas. Steep discounts also mark the season for deal-seeking shoppers. This year has been particularly challenging for the retail industry, with tariffs and inflation hitting consumer confidence. Promoting the holiday spirit, and prompting more sales during a make-or-break period for retailers, has become even more crucial for leaders of department stores looking to end a tough year on a high. "Nobody has to spend money, right?" said Andr" Maeder, the chief executive of Selfridges, the London-based department store group. "You only spend the money when the sentiment and the atmosphere is ripe to…...

Before Air Force One, US presidents traveled aboard a luxury train car. Look inside the ‘White House on wheels.’
20+ min ago (1792+ words) Long before the primary transportation method for US presidents was Air Force One, they traveled the country aboard a 10-foot-wide train car. The Ferdinand Magellan, a Pullman car rebuilt in 1942 for presidential use, was the president's official mode of transportation between 1943 and 1954. The car is also known as US Car No. 1. The armored car was the heaviest railcar ever built in the US after it was fitted with detailed security features and enlarged spaces for President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the height of World War II. Today, it is the only passenger train car to ever be declared a National Historic Landmark. While it pales in comparison to the Air Force One in space and technology, the Ferdinand Magellan allowed the president to continue his duties in comfort while on the move. The car was often accompanied by other train cars dedicated…...

The Aussie bruiser channeling Robert Redford in Netflix’s ‘Train Dreams’
22+ min ago (1396+ words) NEW YORK " Joel Edgerton is a talker. It's not just the volume of words, but the quality. Rich, descriptive paragraphs pour forth from him as if he were writing novellas in the air. This, of course, makes it a little curious that he's getting the best reviews of his career for playing a hermit. "The only way to shut me up is to film me," the 51-year-old actor-writer-director tells me, laughing, as he leans back in his chair and looks out at a spectacular view of Central Park from the 35th-floor restaurant of Manhattan's Mandarin Oriental hotel. "Rolling! Finally, he's shutting up!" he says, cracking up now as he imitates, I'm guessing, every exasperated director who's worked with him. "It's weird. I don't think I'm that funny, but I'm far funnier in life " more gregarious, more verbal than a lot…...
