34+ min ago (736+ words) A Denver family said they lived every parent's worst nightmare, waking up in the middle of the night to find a stranger walking toward their children's bedrooms. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Kevin and Sarah Root described the terrifying early-morning encounter inside their southwest Denver home. The couple said the break-in happened around 3:30 a.m. "We heard the footsteps coming up the stairs to where our room is," Kevin recalled. "We looked at each other and said, "Somebody's in our house.' You realize you're not dreaming " this is real." Sarah immediately grabbed her phone to'call 911'while her husband went to check the hallway. "The fear of what's going to happen when my husband opens the door, that's what replays in my mind the most," she said. "Your gut just kicks in, and the fear of the unknown is really terrifying....

47+ min ago (424+ 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…...

However, one Gen X woman opened up in a series of TikTok videos about her decision not to start a family and how it affects her today. Nadiya Bekar, 53, is an award-winning beauty expert and the founder of Bekar Beauty, known for her skincare tips and tricks. In a slew of TikTok videos posted right before the holiday season officially kicked off, she vulnerably shared how she "forgot to have kids." Is it just me that feels lonely around Christmas?

1+ hour, 3+ min ago (627+ words) The law is clear that service members can disobey illegal orders," explains Joshua Braver at The Wall Street Journal, but with a deep ambiguity," as this is a system where all incentives point toward obedience." Disobeying a lawful order" is punishable by a dishonorable discharge" and penalties including prison and even death." And if an order is legally ambiguous," its legality can only be determined at court-martial. More: There is no general, affirmative legal duty to disobey an unlawful order," and the acclaimed Nuremberg principle was true for those trials of Nazi officials but has since been narrowed." In sum, the law's message is simple: Obey and you are likely protected; disobey and you shoulder the risk." The share of their incomes that average Americans devote to paying for food has fallen steeply over the last 100 years," cheers Reason's Ronald…...

1+ hour, 8+ min ago (297+ words) A remarkable NFL return is set for Sunday. Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton is expected to return for the team's "Sunday Night Football" clash on the road against the Commanders in Week 13 " just three weeks after he underwent emergency surgery for his sudden testicular cancer diagnosis. Singleton shocked the league earlier this month when he announced a random NFL drug test helped detect signs of the cancer, and he was in surgery only a matter of hours after playing in the Broncos' 10-7 "Thursday Night Football" win over the Raiders in Week 10. Elevated levels of the hormone hCG [human chorionic gonadotropin] were detected, which caused an alarm because "this was not from anything external," since Singleton said he was "diligent" about what he put into his body." He decided to share his story with the hope it would raise awareness and encourage…...

1+ hour, 23+ min ago (750+ words) Picture two children with the same abilities but different upbringings. One is taught that if he wants something, he has to work for it. The other gets more allowance each year, no matter how well or badly he behaves. Which child will grow into a more resilient, capable adult? Local governments are much the same. When they're forced to earn what they spend by growing their economies, attracting new residents and delivering value for tax dollars, they produce better results " while cities accustomed to bailouts become complacent. New York learned this the hard way: Fifty years ago, the city essentially stood bankrupt. Mayors over the preceding two decades had consistently overspent, assuming that state or federal aid would eventually fill the city's budget holes. When the banks finally stopped lending to Gotham in 1975, its accumulated shortfall had ballooned to $5 billion,…...

1+ hour, 55+ min ago (790+ words) Generation "Z" " those roughly between 13 and 28 years old " is becoming our 21st-century version of the "Lost Generation." They're often nicknamed "Zoomers," a term used to describe young adults who came of age in the era of smartphones, social media and rapid cultural upheaval. Males in their teens and 20s are prolonging their adolescence " rarely marrying, not buying a home, not having children and often not working full-time. The negative stereotype of a Zoomer is a shiftless man, who plays too many video games. He is too coddled by parents and too afraid to strike out on his own. Zoomers rarely date, supposedly out of fear that they would have to grow up, take charge and head a household. Yet the opposite, sympathetic generalization of Gen Z seems more accurate. All through K-12, young men, particularly white males, have been demonized for "toxic…...

2+ hour, 21+ min ago (444+ words) Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's brother, Javier, was arrested during Saturday's victory over Tennessee, marking the second time he's been jailed during a game this season. Javier Pavia, 25, was busted for public intoxication when he allegedly clashed with Neyland Stadium staffers at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, according to Knox News. University event staff accused Javier Pavia of repeatedly blocking fans around him with a large flag. Law enforcement had told Pavia to remove the flag, the outlet reported, citing a police report. Pavia allegedly slurred his words and was unsteady on his feet during the exchange, the arresting officer claimed. "He was also extremely verbally combative with event staff and myself," an arrest report obtained by the outlet read. Pavia was booked in Knox County Jail on Sunday and released on his own recognizance, according to jail records viewed…...

The "Saturday Night Live" alum, 32, attended his pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt's bunny-themed baby shower over the weekend, where the couple shared a passionate kiss in Hewitt's Instagram post that documented the event. In one video, Hewitt, 29, and her friends lined up at a table and raced to diaper teddy bears, before the model turned around and kissed Davidson, who was watching the competition with a big smile on his face.
