Sorry Seth Moulton! But just because President Donald Trump was merely MENTIONED in Epstein Files does NOT mean you are absolved of your more than obvious DEFAMATION of him when you publicly claimed on Morning Joe that he had improper relations with underage females. And you only made it WORSE when you repeated the DEFAMATION to Politico Hack Dasha Burns a week later while PRETENDING that just Trump's name appearing in the Epstein Files somehow absolves you. Hopefully a lawsuit award will not only include a hefty financial penalty against you but will also require an abject public APOLOGY.

US Thanksgiving Dinner Cost Drops for 3rd Year

The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 will be lower for a third straight year thanks to steep discounting in turkey prices, but about half the items that grace a typical U.S. holiday table are pricier than last year, a survey out on Wednesday shows.

The American Farm Bureau Federation's annual supermarket survey of a Thanksgiving dinner estimated the cost of a holiday meal for 10 this year would be $55.18, down 5% from 2024 and the lowest since 2021.

That is still 13% higher than what the bureau's "classic meal" - featuring a 16-pound turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, sweet peas, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie and other items - cost in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic and the relief efforts arising from it helped to stoke a surge in inflation.

Trump-Haters hardest hit, :rotf: .

Panera lost diners by cutting portions and staff. It’s reversing course to win them back

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/18/panera-bread-turnaround-plan.html

Quote
When Panera Bread began shrinking its sandwiches and skimping on salads, it started shedding customers.

Now, to win them back, the chain plans to reinvest in the business and undo many of those same cost-cutting measures, it said Tuesday.

Once the No. 1 fast-casual brand in the U.S., Panera has dipped to No. 3, ceding the top spots to Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panda Express. Last year, its sales fell 5% to $6.1 billion, according to Technomic estimates. For years, the chain’s traffic has been shrinking, according to CEO Paul Carbone, who took the reins earlier this year. Controversy after the chain’s foray into energy drinks didn’t help matters, either.

Panera’s troubles have coincided with a tough year for fast-casual restaurants. Chipotle, Sweetgreen and Cava have all cut their full-year forecasts as they see younger consumers eating out less frequently.
...
But it wasn’t just salads that were affected by the cost-cutting measures.

“In some instances, we shrunk portions, so guests would walk into our cafe to buy a sandwich that has gone up significantly in price, with lower-quality ingredients, in a smaller size,” Carbone said.

We used to go to Panera every month or so, but with their smaller portions, lesser quality, combined with higher prices drove us elsewhere. The thing about customers being driven away is that in the following months or years they formed different habits. At least some former customers won't come back.

Here’s the Epstein Email Hakeem Jeffries REALLY Doesn’t Want You to See

The Democrat Party’s house of cards just took a fresh round of demolition, courtesy of the latest Jeffrey Epstein revelations. Last week, Democrats released a few select and doctored Epstein emails, hoping to destroy Trump. Then the GOP released over 20,000, and suddenly, one Democrat after another found themselves wrapped up in the Epstein fallout.

This list so far includes Larry Summers, Bill Clinton’s treasury secretary and director of Obama’s National Economic Council; Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett; and Kathryn Ruemmler, White House counsel under Obama. Now, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has found himself in the middle.

This week, House Oversight Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell that Jeffries probably hoped would never see daylight.

Emails show Epstein was not simply on the fringes of the party; he was on the radar of the Democrat establishment, even after his 2008 conviction. In 2013, a Democratic consulting firm reached out to Epstein, hoping to secure his attendance at a Jeffries campaign fundraiser. The same batch of emails reveals it was more than a blanket invitation. Reaching out to secure Epstein's presence at a Democratic fundraising event to power their “House majority” push stands in stark contrast to their high-minded rhetoric.

“Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said on the House floor Tuesday. “So Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That’s what we found in the last document batch.”

My emphasis. The release of the 20K emails looks to have been FAFO 1.0, and FAFO 2.0 is in progress.

Can we think this through for a minute?

Lefty says one of the problems with Righty is that Righty is homophobic.

But now Lefty wants to stir-up homophobia in the hopes Righty will abandon Trump.

Why does Lefty want Righty to abandon Trump?

So Lefty can go back to crusading against Righty's so-called homophobia.
