(The Hill) - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) defended calling Democrats "pedophiles" in a new interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" Sunday, eliciting eye-rolls from correspondent Lesley Stahl. Stahl asked Greene about what she called "over-the-top" comments, such as saying that "Democrats are a party of pedophiles.""I would definitely say so," Greene responded. "They support grooming children.""They are not pedophiles," Stahl responded. "Why would you say that?""Democrats support — even Joe Biden the president himself — supports children being sexualized, having transgender surgeries," Greene responded. "Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children."Greene's response elicited an eye roll from Stahl, who sighed and said "wow," before asking her next question: whether the congresswoman might fight for what she believed without name calling and personal attacks. "I would ask the same question to the other side. Because all they've done is call me names and insult me nonstop s...

Most of them were started by arsonists, whom the leader of the region called "fire terrorists".More than 600 firefighters responded to the fires, and many towns were evacuated after police closed roads and highways.After an unusually dry winter in southern Europe, and rising temperatures caused by climate change, the Spanish government expressed concern that wildfires could flare up again this year."THEY ARE BURNING OUR ASTURIAS.

Arson convictions can lead to up to 20 years i...

The blame game began in Eden: Adam blamed Eve, she blamed the serpent, and he had not a leg to stand on. Even today, some people won’t take the blame for a foul-up until they exhaust every other possibility.Today’s West led the ten of hearts against 3NT, and dummy won and led the queen of diamonds. When East took the king, he returned … a heart. West won the next diamond and led a third heart, but South won and ran the diamonds. East was stuck for discards, and South wound up with 11 tricks.“I expected your hearts to be Q-10-9-x-x,” East told his partner.SURE THINGIt’s not whether you win or lose but how you place the blame. East had a sure thing by leading the deuce of spades at Trick Three. When West took the ace of diamonds, he could lead another spade, and East would get three spade tricks.As for East’s don’t-blame-me comment, once West showed the ace of diamonds, he could hardly hold another queen. Then South would have at most fi...

Ask Amy: I need to stop job-hopping, but after 60 days I’m done with this one

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:34:54 GMT

Dear Amy: I recently got a new job that I’ve been at for two months. Even though I just started and am still in my 90-day trial period, I feel like this job isn’t the right fit for me.I’ve been in the medical field for six years and within those years, I’ve been in and out of medical offices, either quitting or getting fired.My question is, how do I stay at one job when I really don’t like their values? (My manager declined to let me attend an appointment with my son’s school because I’m still under my 90-day review.)I’ve been looking for other employment, but I feel like it’s going to be a never-ending cycle of leaving and being burnt out.Any advice?Burnt-out MomDear Burnt Out: I agree that you are trapped in a never-ending cycle – of working in medical offices and then either quitting or being fired.By this point, you’ve racked up an extremely poor work history, which I assume would negatively affect your ability to get another job at a quality medical practice.My suggestion is th...

Thailand’s political hopefuls register for May election

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:34:54 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Hundreds of would-be lawmakers in Thailand on Monday began the official registration process for the upcoming general election, a vote that will pit supporters of an exiled prime minister against the conservative political establishment and its allies in the military.Dressed in T-shirts and jackets in their party colors, and backed by groups of noisy supporters, the political hopefuls pushed their way past a throng of journalists to cram into a Bangkok stadium and complete the paperwork to qualify for the May 14 election. Underscoring the political tensions, four protesters under the watchful eyes of two dozen police officers held up signs demanding changes to Article 112 of the constitution, which carries harsh penalties for defaming the country’s monarch. Calls for reform of the law have increased in recent years but remain a major taboo in a country where the royal family has traditionally been seen as untouchable. Prayuth Chan-ocha, the incumbent prime minister, r...
