The Surprising Quirk That Might Cost Her

The FCC has released the complete transcript and uncut footage of Kamala Harris’s “60 Minutes” interview, revealing that CBS simply used different excerpts for “Face the Nation” and “60 Minutes.” Though critics alleged the network doctored the clip to boost Harris, CBS insists it followed standard news practices in editing the interview, which covered the vice president’s remarks on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Undeterred, Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network, arguing that the shorter clip was overly favorable to Harris.

Meanwhile, social media users have been vocal about the newly unveiled footage. Some claim the full video shows a less polished side of Harris, while others see the controversy as proof that CBS was just doing its job. The network stands by its editorial judgment, noting it aired a more extensive clip on “Face the Nation” and a condensed version on “60 Minutes.” This comes as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also probes NPR and PBS over alleged advertising rule violations, adding another layer to the media scrutiny.

I nearly spit out my coffee when I heard Kamala’s biggest weakness: She’s not great at making decisions in a snap. During a CNN town hall, Vice President Kamala Harris openly admitted she likes to do her homework first. Instead of leaping without looking, she’d rather mull things over, gather intel, and weigh every angle. Some critics roll their eyes at what they see as some type of hesitation, but she insists it’s what helps her avoid rash calls.

Not Just a Flaw, But a Strength Too?

Harris explained that she often leans on her advisors—maybe more than most politicians. While some might label that dependence as a leadership flaw, she says it just means she’s thorough. She’d rather hear multiple perspectives and piece them together, instead of acting solo. Opponents argue that in a crisis, speed matters. But Harris stands by her process, insisting that a measured approach yields better outcomes in the long run. Whether you call it Kamala’s biggest weakness or a hidden advantage depends on your perspective, I guess.

Why It Matters Right Now

A lot of people want immediate answers, especially in a political climate where bold moves and quick decisions often grab the spotlight. Experts say some voters turn to figures like Donald Trump for that very reason—he rarely hesitates to jump in headfirst. Meanwhile, Harris is confident that her deliberate style ensures fewer mistakes and more inclusivity. Honestly, I get it. Sometimes impulsive decisions come back to haunt you. Still, it’s no secret that Kamala’s biggest weakness has folks talking, especially if they’re in favor of a faster, more decisive style of leadership.

A Shocking Ban That Might Impact Your Next Flight

By

I just found out that Airline bans power banks in overhead bins after one of its planes was nearly destroyed by an in-flight fire. On January 28, South Korea’s Air Busan experienced a terrifying incident: a flight attendant detected flames erupting from a passenger’s overhead luggage bin shortly before takeoff. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the damage left the airline rethinking how to store portable chargers and other lithium battery devices.

Why the Ban Matters

According to Air Busan, there’s been a noticeable spike in overheating issues lately—a power bank can catch fire if it malfunctions or is packed incorrectly. Starting Friday, passengers will have their carry-ons inspected at the boarding gate, and if Airline bans power banks from being stowed overhead, that means travelers must keep them in personal possession. The idea is that if a battery starts heating up, smoke or sparks would be visible right away, making it easier for crew members to handle the situation before it spirals into something worse.

The Bigger Picture

Lithium batteries are everywhere—in phones, laptops, and yes, power banks. But they can also be ticking time bombs if they short-circuit. That’s why global standards already forbid them in checked luggage. Now, with this new policy, Airline bans power banks overhead while also boosting fire safety training and fire containment gear on board. South Korea’s also looking to revamp aviation safety after multiple major incidents in just a few months. The bottom line? Keep those portable chargers on you—and be prepared for extra scrutiny on your next flight.

Caitlyn Jenner’s reaction to Trump’s transgender policy marks a major shift from her earlier stance

By

In the past, Caitlyn Jenner has been very vocal against Donald Trump’s politics. This time, however, her reaction to the latest executive policy the president signed differs from her earlier stance on his approach to transgender rights.

Since Trump took office for his second terms, he signed a plethora of executive orders.

He signed an order concerning the country’s withdrawal of the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization. Also, he imposed 25 percent import tariffs on Canada and Mexico, directed a review of military readiness and capabilities. He established male and female as the only ‘two genders’ recognized by the US government, and revoked The Equal Employment Opportunity Act, among the rest.

The most recent order he signed bans transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.

This move also imposes threats of cutting federal funding for schools that allow trans women to compete in female sport categories.

As per the president, this transgender policy would be part of a “sweeping effort to reclaim our culture and our laws.” He added that any school that lets “men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms” will also be investigated.

“There will be no federal funding. So this will effectively end the attack on female athletes.” he said.

“We will defend the proud tradition of female athletes. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women. The war on women’s sports is over.”

The order was signed on Wednesday at the White House in the presence of female athletes.

Caitlyn Jenner, an Olympic medalist and a transgender woman, took to the social media to comment on Trump’s decision.

To the surprise of many, she supported the signing of the transgender policy.

“Another victory in the fight for protecting women’s sports! President Trump signs an Executive Order keeping biological men out of women’s sports!

“As an Olympian, I will continue to fight this issue, lobbying sport governing body’s all over the world to follow our lead!”

Back in 2018, Jenner penned a column in the Washington Post, writing that she was wrong for supporting Trump as she felt like he was using the trans community as “political pawns.”

A year prior, when Trump overturned guidance allowing transgender students to use school toilets matching their gender identity, Jenner told BBC, “It doesn’t make me regret my vote yet, but it is very disappointing and I have been very verbal about that.”

I Never Imagined It Would Be This Gruesome

I was stunned to learn about the horrifying conditions rescue teams face while recovering DC plane crash victims from the icy Potomac River. After an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet on January 29, both aircraft went down, killing all 67 people aboard. Now, divers and emergency crews are working around the clock to bring the deceased home to their families—but the environment is far from forgiving.

Chilling Waters and Harsh Realities

At the time of writing, 55 out of 67 bodies have been recovered. It’s so cold out there that one diver was rushed to the hospital for a “hypothermia situation.” Thankfully, he’s doing fine now, but the frigid water and floating ice make every dive a gamble. One rescue expert explained that there’s “not a lot of time to locate any survivors” in these bitter temperatures, and the gear doesn’t make it any easier. No wonder so many crew members describe being “emotionally wiped out” from the horrors they’ve seen underwater.

Haunting Clarity

Several firefighters said the water’s surprisingly clear, letting them see just how devastating the wreck truly is. One described the scene as “horrible,” especially when they’re using flashlights to scan the submerged fuselage. Day by day, salvage teams map the site and plan their next steps to ensure every last body is found. This isn’t an easy mission, but it must be done. The DC plane crash victims deserve closure, and their loved ones need answers as soon as possible.

Searching for the Truth

There’s still plenty of uncertainty about what happened to spark this fatal collision. Investigators are banking on the aircraft black boxes to reveal the final moments before impact. One Army aviation adviser said these devices hold “the only truth,” and we’ll have to wait until experts extract and analyze the data. In the meantime, rescue workers remain in harm’s way, doing everything they can to honor the DC plane crash victims and return them to those who loved them.

Realizing Something Was Off: How One Man’s Work Habits Led to a Surprising Diagnosis

By
Bryan Seal
-

I first came across this story of a 49-year-old man with dementia recognized the problem from a slight shift in his work ethic, and it stopped me in my tracks. Imagine being in your late 40s, expecting life to go one way, only to discover you have frontotemporal dementia (FTD). That’s exactly what happened to Peter Alexander, who initially had no idea his difficulties at work were linked to something so life-changing.

A Surprising Change on the Job

Peter’s first sign was a lingering feeling that things weren’t quite right at work. In his own words, deadlines started slipping, and during meetings, he’d blank on words—small issues that led this 49-year-old man with dementia recognized the problem from a slight shift in his work ethic to see a doctor. It turned out his challenges went beyond mere forgetfulness. He was dealing with a specific form of dementia that also recently impacted Wendy Williams and Bruce Willis: FTD.

Understanding Frontotemporal Dementia

According to the Mayo Clinic, frontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term for brain diseases that affect the frontal and temporal lobes. These areas are deeply tied to our behavior, language, and personality. People with FTD might become impulsive, socially inappropriate, or suddenly have trouble with speech. For Peter, though, a simple stumble in his usual work performance was enough to set off alarm bells.

Coming to Terms with a Tough Reality

When Peter finally got the results, he remembered the date clearly: January 14, 2018. That was the day a neurologist confirmed his FTD diagnosis. Because of safety concerns and his diminishing judgment, he had to leave his job. Sadly, that’s the harsh truth for this 49-year-old man with dementia recognized the problem from a slight shift in his work ethic—his life turned upside down. Yet he wants people to look beyond the condition and still see him for who he is.

“Inside, I’m Still Peter”

Peter says people often reduce dementia to just “forgetting things.” But FTD can show up in different ways—like losing your filter or having trouble with words. Even though he’s 56 now, he insists he hasn’t changed internally. He may not express himself the same way he once did, but he’s still Peter. That’s the real lesson here: while a 49-year-old man with dementia recognized the problem from a slight shift in his work ethic, his identity, personality, and heart remain.

Heart-wrenching words of a father who learns his baby had died after being left inside hot vehicle

Baby left inside a vehicle for an extended period of time during a hot day in Sydney, Australia has sadly passed away.

One-year-old Olivia Ancelet was left inside the car by her father, who believed he had dropped his baby daughter off to daycare.

The temperatures reached 86°F, and Etienne Ancelet, Olivia’s father, only learned of the fatal mistake when he went to the daycare center to pick her up at around 5:35 p.m. local time.

He was told he hadn’t even dropped her that day.

He realized his baby was inside the hot vehicle, but sadly, the damage was done.

Baby Olivia was gone.

Emergency services were called at the daycare Jelly Beings Early Learning Centre in Earlwood, a suburb of Sydney, but there was nothing to be done. Olivia was unresponsive and was pronounced dead.

7News Australia

Ancelet and the girl’s mother, Kim Visconti, shared a joint statement in which they called Olivia “the light of our lives,” and “sweet and beautiful baby,” as per news.com.au.

“We are humbled and grateful for the time we had her. We are devastated by what has unfolded,” they said. The grieving parents added that they don’t wish any parent to experience such a loss.

“We will always cherish our time with our beautiful girl. She was loved by all that knew her,” they said. “It is an unimaginable time of sorrow for us.”

7News Australia

Roy Gomes, who rushed to Olivia’s help, heard the devastated father holding his daughter and screaming: “I’ve killed my daughter.”

“My neighbour came across and he said, ‘Can you hear that screaming?’, so I turned the lawnmower off,” Gomes explained. “When I got there, I saw the [Ancelet] with the baby in [his] arms and he was just panicking.

“We didn’t know what to do, I said, ‘Let’s try and give her CPR, do our best’.”

Speaking with NewsWire, Gomes added: “All the neighbours were really good, putting water on her (and) trying to cool her down, because she was obviously still very hot.

“She was just floppy. I didn’t sleep much last night, just because I could see the little baby’s face all night, but it’s just something you do.”

Superintendent Christine McDonald of New South Wales Police said during a press conference: “Leaving a child in a vehicle at any time can be dangerous. Leaving a child inside a vehicle for an extended period of time can be deadly.

“This is an absolute tragedy.”

We are so very sorry fort his devastating loss. Baby Olivia turned one in December of 2024.

After being in space for so long, stranded NASA astronaut makes concerning admission about one thing she can no longer do

By
Monica Pop
-

Astronaut Sunita Williams was only supposed to spend eight days in space, and today, nearly eight months later, she and fellow astronaut Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore are still stranded in space.

The two NASA astronauts headed towards the International Space Station on June 5, 2024. However, due to helium leaks and other malfunctions of the Boeing Starliner capsule, the pair wasn’t able to return back to Earth.

While the capsule returned home empty, it left NASA struggling to find a way to get Williams and Wilmore back.

ISS (NASA)

The date of their possible journey home has been rescheduled several times during the past months, and according to the ISS, it is not expected to take place until late March.

President Donald Trump accused Biden’s administration for abandoning the two astronauts and called Elon Musk and SpaceX to “go get them.”

“Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe,” Trump said. “Good luck Elon!!!”

Musk took to X to answer that he will do so.

NASA decided that Starliner was unfit to return Williams and Wilmore home and tasked SpaceX to do the job instead. In fact, the SpaceX’s Crew-9 capsule is docked on the ISS. In late March, it is expected the Crew-10 capsule to be launched to the ISS before Crew-9 can leave it.

Recently, astronaut Williams was interviewed by the students at Needham High School, the same school she graduated from back in 1983.

Answering a question from the ISS, she explained that microgravity felt like she was swimming or flying.

“I’ve been up here long enough right now I’ve been trying to remember what it’s like to walk. I haven’t walked. I haven’t sat down.” Williams added: I haven’t laid down. You don’t have to. You can just close your eyes and float where you are right here.”

Further, she added that she and fellow astronaut Wilmore did expect their space trip to be longer that the planned eight days, but they didn’t believe it would take this long.

“It was a little bit of a shock, actually,” she shared with the students. “We knew that it would be probably a month or so, honestly. But the extended stay was just a little bit different.”

Williams is glad she gets to share her experience with everyone on Earth, but naturally, she’s eager to return home.

“My mother’s getting a little bit older, so in that regard, I just try to stay in touch with them and those guys as much as possible,” she said. “I think I talk to my mom practically every day. Just check in with her and call her and see how she’s doing. So it’s just a little bit different relationship than we had potentially planned on for the last couple of months. But we’re managing.”

Back in November, Williams addressed the rumors that she has lost significant amount of weight, telling New England Sports Network Clubhouse that she weights as she did when she embarked on the space trip, explaining that she and Wilmore have a treadmill and weightlifting equipment.
