During his four years in the White House, President Donald Trump has been accused of having a soft spot for the dictators of America’s enemies. Do those countries return the love? As the 2020 election looms, the leaders and citizens of both America’s allies and rivals are hoping for outcomes that may be surprising. With the exception of North Korea, most U.S. adversaries such as Cuba, Iran, China and Venezuela are hoping for a Joe Biden win, while America’s allies are split....

“If someone put a gun to my head right here and took $1,700 from my wallet, you’d call the police,” I said indignantly. “Certainly,” replied the bank officer. “But we don’t in these cases.” I did. Right there. I dialed 911, and an NYPD officer came to the bank lobby, where I reported a theft of $1,700. The policeman smiled, while various bank officials acted as if I were Al Pacino in “Dog Day Afternoon....

I started getting into Bulgarian wines a few weeks ago, when the French started opposing us in the United Nations Security Council. Don’t get me wrong, I oppose the impending war with Iraq and think that the French and Germans have legitimate reasons beyond their normal anti-Americanism for trying to block us. But that doesn’t mean I can’t embrace our new ally, Bulgaria. This is a true friend of America–unlike Turkey, whom we had to buy off; Spain, who are aligning with the U....

For the past week or so, paranormals like me have been buzzing about how Kreskin–who has been Hollywood’s “go-to” mentalist for more than 40 years–apparently foresaw America’s war on terrorism, right down to the anthrax. “We are in another war,” Kreskin writes in “The Amazing Kreskin’s Future with the Stars,” his just-released book that was written long before Sept. 11. “The enemy is using the most invisible and insidious of tactics–that of terrorism....

If you call yourself a baseball fan, you’ll no doubt agree. Since Sept. 18, 2001–when Major League baseball returned after the terror attacks–the song “God Bless America” has pushed aside “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” as the new seventh-inning tradition. For the first few months, who could object? It provided catharsis and comfort–a way for Americans to grieve together. Most teams have continued the “tradition” to this day. My beloved Mets and the hated Yankees still play “God Bless America” at all home games....

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani had a mixed record with New Yorkers until September 11, when he metamorphosed into a leader of heroic proportions. What lessons can we learn from each? James O’Toole, research professor at the Center for Effective Organization’s at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business and author of more than a dozen books on leadership, has been tracking corporate leadership at some of the country’s largest companies for the past eight months through a joint research project with the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton....

German Federal Police say that the young American was attempting to visit his German girlfriend by attempting to pose as an airport cleaner when he was caught on Sunday, according to ABC News. The vast majority of U.S. travelers are not currently allowed to enter the country due to the coronavirus, with entry only available for those who are residents of Germany or have German nationals as immediate family members....

The coveted Generation Z demographic of buyers (18 to 25 years old) was even more bullish on their future with 74 percent seeing muscle cars as part of the automotive story of the nation in the decades to come. “Muscle cars are woven into our cultural fabric,” said Corey Lydstone, founder and CEO of Autolist.com, a CarGurus company. “Whether you’re a diehard gearhead or you don’t even own a car, it’s likely you still at least have heard of the Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger....

The pandemic has also kept us away from many of the activities that help us cope and overcome these challenges—going to a movie or concert, spending time with friends and family, or enjoying a meal at a favorite restaurant. As a result, millions of Americans are heading back into the outdoors and onto our public lands. In the process, they’re discovering a lesson that our fellow veterans have known for generations: nature helps you heal....

Pennsylvanians, Vermonters, Montanans and Michiganders—three blue states and one red—were the most likely to leave their money on the table, typically $1,200 per adult and $500 for children under 17. Arizonans and Texans were the least likely to pass up the stimulus payments from Uncle Sam, according to a Newsweek analysis of data provided by the IRS in response to a Freedom of Information Act request; both states have Republican governors but split the 2020 presidential vote, with Joe Biden ultimately winning typically-red Arizona by less than 10,500 votes....

A survey released Thursday by the Associated Press found that 65 percent of U.S. adults are “extremely” or “very” concerned about the threat to the country from domestic groups, compared to 50 percent who feel the same about the threat from foreign extremist groups. There was no significant difference between Republicans and Democrats regarding the threat from foreign extremist groups. Forty-nine percent of Democrats reported being extremely or very concerned about the issue, compared to 54 percent of Republicans....

A YouGov poll released last week found that 30 percent of adult U.S. citizens would be willing to buy a house that had been owned by murder victims but was in their price range and met all other requirements, while 32 percent were not willing and 38 were unsure or preferred not to say. While most people did not say that they would buy houses that prior owners had been murdered in, realtors attempting to sell such homes may find success depending on factors that include the sale price and the state of the market....

The human rights organization stated in a press release Saturday that Lebanon security forces were beating protesters, chasing them at gunpoint, and using large amounts of tear gas on crowds that had gathered in major cities to protest political corruption and call for economic and social reforms. Protests in Lebanon began in early October, with many moved to act by the country’s growing economic crisis, trash pileup, and failing power grid....

Everyone in Among Us can customize their avatar with several options while waiting in the pre-game lobby. With the choices available, players can change a character’s color, outfit, and even the little pet that follows them around during a match. However, there’s also a tab to switch up the hat worn and there’s a little trick to access some more spooky choices besides the hats normally available.

It’s a very simple game based on social deduction and deception. The players in the game are assigned either the role of a crewmate, or an impostor. The job of the impostor is to eliminate the crew completely or sabotage the ship without getting ejected. The crewmates however, need to complete simple tasks and find out who the impostors are, eventually voting them off the ship. Winning as an impostor isn’t easy, but it isn’t that difficult either....
