It's never too early to start thinking about your Halloween costume.

This year, I am predicting the Reflecting Pool costume will be very popular.

The only thing this journalist would have done differently is instead of saying, “I traveled all the way to Wisconsin” (which isn’t far), I would say, “Do not ever call me ‘darling’ again.”

President Trump walked out of an NBC “Meet the Press” interview when challenged about his claims about rigged elections. Here’s what happened and what he told supporters in Wisconsin afterward.

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

You don’t understand the stranglehold this Nescafé Gold Blend advert had on the UK because of Anthony Head (long before he was in Buffy)

They actually were at work bc the 80s economy sucked and women were finally allowed to succeed at work, so we all became latchkey kids at 8.

If a man's testosterone dropped to menopausal levels overnight...He'd be hospitalized. But when a woman loses her progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, has a sluggish thyroid & insulin resistance? She's told to go vegan, do more cardio & take magnesium. Meanwhile, her metabolism tanks, joints ache, and brain fog sets in. This isn't wellness. It's medical gaslighting.

There are two types of journalist
Those who file in the CMS and those who google doc in case CMS crashes.

How much do I love seeing @AmberGlenn_ doing signature moves from Nancy, Oksana and Tonya (the triple axel, not the Gilooly) in her freestyle? That was a gorgeous program.

Just a reminder that James Van Der Beek delivered one of the all-time great celebrity self-parody performances in two amazing seasons of ‘Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23.’
