(The Hill) — Former President Trump, in a new campaign ad, took a swipe at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — alluding that his 2016 presidential rival wanted to brainwash voters into supporting President Biden.The advertisement, posted to his Truth Social account, shows voters lining up to be brainwashed and blindfolded with clips of Clinton praising the work Biden has done.The clip took a snippet of Clinton's recent interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour where the former first lady called for a “formal deprogramming” of MAGA — or "Make America Great Again" — "cult members." Chesebro attorney argues client never believed Trump’s ‘big lie’ of election fraud “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members,” Clinton said in the interview earlier this month. “And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” Clinton added. “He’s only in it for himself...

Looking for more, Wild make some tweaks ahead of Saturday’s game

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:51:25 GMT

The Wild started Saturday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets looking for more, a testament to the team’s ambitions despite early injury issues that have been exacerbated by the fact Minnesota has almost zero salary cap space.They started the 7 p.m. puck drop at Xcel Energy Center with a 2-2-0 record, roughly $10,000 in cap space and injuries to captain Jared Spurgeon, second-line wing Matt Boldy and veteran blue liner Alex Goligoski.Before Saturday’s game, head coach Dean Evason said that in general, he and his staff have liked the way the team has played early, even in a 7-3 loss to the Los Angeles Kings in which they lost a 2-1, first period lead in the span of about 10 minutes, and that got out of hand with two empty-net goals late.“We want to continue to stay positive about the way we’re playing,” Evason said. “But having said all that, you need the results, too, and we haven’t got the exact results that we want.”It’s also early, and inconsistencies tend to go line to line...

Class 5A Softball: Chatfield uses seven-run fourth to charge past Erie and claim first title since 1997

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:51:25 GMT

AURORA — It wasn’t often the Chatfield softball team found itself in tight, one-run games during the 2023 season. Even when it was in those sorts of games, one inning was enough to blow it open.On Saturday in the Class 5A championship at a bustling Aurora Sports Park, the Chargers did exactly that. Chatfield erupted for seven runs in the fourth inning and never looked back against 12-time title winner Erie, sealing its first title since 1997 in an 11-3 win.Chargers senior Karlie Cooledge was instrumental on both the mound and the plate. She drove in four RBIs on a pair of hits, including a back-breaking double in the fourth to make it 6-1, after she also reached first base earlier in the inning on an error to drive in the team’s first two runs.Chatfield Chargers pitcher Karlie Coolidge (12) pitching against the Eerie Tigers in the 5th inning during the Colorado State 5A softball championship game at the Aurora Sports Park October 21, 2023.

How toy and game companies are winning back their grown-up former customers

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:51:25 GMT

New York (CNN) — I was on vacation and hanging out quietly in the hotel room with my friend when, out of nowhere, she screamed “Zoo Pals are back!”We immediately tried to buy some. But to our misfortune, they were sold out. For days we refreshed the page to see if they were back in stock. Sure enough, I got my Zoo Pals a few weeks later.I’m almost embarrassed to share that Zoo Pals are paper plates that feature the bright, adorable faces of animals like pigs, turtles, ducks and whales. Each plate has one main section and two subsections for the animal’s ears or feet. In 2014, Hefty, the maker of Zoo Pals, discontinued them.As a child, Zoo Pals were a game-changer. That meant broccoli didn’t have to, God forbid, touch my chicken nuggets, and they also provided a special area for dipping the nuggets in ketchup. And I had an incentive to finish my plate so I could see my Zoo Pal’s face again.As an adult, I no longer have such needs. But $6.99 was a small price to pay for a walk down me...
