It’s a TV story as classic as boy meets girl: Mystery-solving genius meets prickly detective in need of investigative help. It’s not love at first sight; more like crime-solving at first murder. Sparks fly. Happy endings ensue. The credit roll. That is, until there’s another body next week. You know what kind of TV show I’m talking about here. “Castle.” “Bones.” “The Mentalist.” All cut from the same Sherlock Holmes-inspired cloth, each has an uptight detective matched with an unconventional, dare I say downright irritating civilian with seemingly magical powers of investigation and deduction. We love to watch these prodigies find clues the police miss, all…

The Secret Service didn’t discover a gunman hiding in the bushes of a West Palm Beach golf course Sunday until former President Donald Trump was 500 yards away from him, raising additional questions about whether the embattled agency is up to the task of safeguarding the GOP nominee. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. praised his agents Monday for thwarting what authorities said was the second assassination attempt against Trump in as many months. At an afternoon news conference with other law enforcement officials, he called it a “textbook” example of how his agents were able to identify and neutralize an armed threat to…

The daughter of the late Walmart founder Sam Walton returned to the top of Forbes “World’s Wealthiest Woman” list posted on Sept. 4 with an estimated $89.1 billion fortune. Walton, 74, momentarily lost her top spot to Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, 71, the heiress of French cosmetics company L’Oreal, according to Forbes.

Former president Donald Trump headlined an online event Monday unveiling a new cryptocurrency business with ties to his family, capitalizing on his third run for the White House to promote his business interests. During the livestream, Trump talked up the promise of cryptocurrencies while discussing a second assassination attempt and attacking the Biden-Harris administration on border security. He did not directly address the new crypto firm, called World Liberty Financial. “If we don’t do it, China is going to do it. China is doing it anyway. But if we don’t do it, we’re not going to be the biggest, and we have to be the…
Debates are supposed to be a civil comparison of stances between two candidates. Instead, they have become so hostile due in part to Trump’s abandonment of political norms. Donald Trump declared last week that there would not be another presidential debate between him and Vice President Kamala Harris. Pundits were quick to point out that the Trump campaign was already doing “damage control” after a weak debate performance the first time around, and the Harris campaign apparently accused Trump of trying to dodge a second debate loss. And I’m sure voters and media outlets were excited for a second debate, just for whatever craziness…
WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris narrowly leads former President Donald Trump in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania and two of the state’s key bellwether counties, according to a trio of exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University polls taken after last week’s debate. With 50 days until Election Day, Harris leads Trump, the Republican nominee, 49%-46% in Pennsylvania, a statewide poll of 500 likely Pennsylvania voters conducted from Wednesday to Sunday found. The results are within the poll’s margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. Pennsylvania is widely regarded as the most important battleground of the 2024 election, with both nominees’ paths to 270 electoral votes severely hampered without…
Nearly half of Republicans say they won’t accept the results of the presidential election if their candidate loses, and some of them say they would “take action to overturn” the results, according to data released Tuesday. About a quarter of Democrats said they wouldn’t accept the results if their candidate loses, and fewer Democrats than Republicans said they would “take action to overturn” the results. The nonpartisan World Justice Project, which keeps an index of how strong the rule of law is in more than 100 countries, gathered the data as part of a larger study. The poll was conducted through online interviews with 1,046 American…
Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was the subject of a sex trafficking investigation and a pair of federal raids, was arrested Monday in Manhattan. Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo confirmed the news to USA TODAY in a statement, saying, “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.” The hip-hop mogul was taken into custody “based on a sealed indictment” filed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, SDNY announced on social media. While the specific charges were not disclosed, the indictment is expected to be unsealed Tuesday…
Alan Smith ran as a write-in Democratic candidate in 2022 because he wanted answers from his state senator, Jake Hoffman, one of the 11 Arizona Republicans who signed a fake electoral certificate declaring that Donald Trump had won the state in 2020 after President Biden won the state by 10,457 votes. “I did not want him unopposed. I wanted them to spend some money. I wanted him to have to put up a fight. I wanted him to try to explain himself,” Smith said. He didn’t get that satisfaction, in large part because Hoffman did not debate him, so in…
When Morrow ran for school board in 2022, she referred to public schools as ‘indoctrination centers.’ Now she wants to control North Carolina’s education system as state superintendent. She has never worked in a public school and has referred to them as “indoctrination centers.” She attended the riot at the U.S. Capitol and called for former President Donald Trump to use military force to stay in power. She has been known to use hashtags affiliated with the conspiracy theory QAnon. Yet after defeating the incumbent in a Super Tuesday primary, Michele Morrow is the Republican nominee for North Carolina superintendent. Morrow will be running against Democrat Maurice (Mo) Green.…
Robert De Niro is opening up about fatherhood — and former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” on Friday, he talked with the former Fox News host about his work-life balance as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors. “I think of it that way. I mean, I was busy of course, but I always loved my kids,” De Niro said, adding that “I’m trying my best. I’m going to put on my gravestone, ‘I tried my best.'” De Niro welcome his seventh child, daughter Gia, last year. He is also dad to Drena, 51, and Raphael,…
The Taylor Swift effect brought new fans to America’s biggest sporting event this past winter. Will the pop star’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after Tuesday night’s debate drive more votes in the year’s biggest election? Yes, says Resonate, a data and intelligence company that analyzes trillions of online interactions. Typical polling extrapolates the pulse of American voters from a few hundred or thousand responses. The Reston, Virginia, company uses its AI modeling system to develop its own insights on 250 million people. Resonate says 2.3 million Americans in battleground states are more likely to be swayed by celebrity endorsements. Those people may be rethinking…
Harris is tiptoeing around the positions on issues that won her elections in California and cautiously testing what voters will grab onto and what they will reject. You may have heard Maya Angelou’s powerful saying, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Sometimes, when other people tell you who a person is, you should believe them, too. Especially if the person in question doesn’t want to tell you who they really are. That is the case with Vice President Kamala Harris. In an interview Sunday on “Meet the Press,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, a progressive independent from…
Firefighters used 50,000 gallons of water to put out a fire after a Tesla employee driving a 2024 Tesla Semi tractor crashed the truck on a California interstate last month and the vehicle caught on fire. The findings were part of a preliminary report the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued on Thursday. The thousands of gallons of water were used to “extinguish the flames and cool the vehicle’s batteries,” the report read. The fire broke out around 3:13 p.m. on Aug. 19 on Interstate 80 in Emigrant Gap, California, about 70 miles northwest of South Lake Tahoe, the NTSB said in…
ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Latino voters in 2020 were part of the Democrats’ mainstay coalition that catapulted Joe Biden to the White House. But many say they have not heard this year from either major party’s presidential candidates. Vice President Kamala Harris has a little more than seven weeks to turn the tide in her favor in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona following her abbreviated campaign for president, and to do so she’ll need more Latino votes than she’s currently getting. Pennsylvania has seen a fast-growing Latino population in the state, where white and blue collar workers are shrinking in key Democratic strongholds like the…
Colt Gray, the 14-year-old accused of shooting four people dead at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, brought a gun to school in his backpack and hid in a bathroom before he took it out and opened fire, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Thursday. Gray hid the whole gun used in the shooting into his backpack because it “could not be broken down,” according to a news release from the GBI. The morning of the shooting, a teacher allowed Gray to leave class with the backpack after Gray asked to go to the front office to speak to someone, the GBI said.…
The overwhelming vote to reject a contract deal is expected to halt operations in the Seattle area – the hub of Boeing’s commercial plane manufacturing – and disrupt the company’s supply chain. Key Points Of the roughly 30,000 union members, 96 percent of them voted in favor of the strike.

LONDON − Russia’s FSB security service said on Friday it had pulled the credentials of six British diplomats in Moscow after accusing them of spying and sabotage work, signalling the Kremlin’s anger at what it sees as London’s vital role in helping Ukraine. Britain described the accusations as “completely baseless,” saying it was a tit-for-tat action after the UK expelled the Russian defence attache and removed diplomatic status from several Russian properties in May. Russia announced the expulsions hours before talks in Washington between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Joe Biden, a crucial step towards winning the go ahead for Kyiv to…
