The video falls under TikTok’s #WhatIEatInADay hashtag, a trending series where social media influencers film the foods they eat in a day, in the order that they ate them. Some creators will film only food, while others add in captions or voiceovers dictating the number of calories they consumed, or proportions of protein, carbs, or fats.

About 24 hours later at a Charlotte hotel located 1.4 miles southeast of Bank of America Stadium, NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent explained why McCaffrey and those who agree with the 21-year-old won’t be getting what they want anytime soon. The rule — Vincent calls it the “May 16th rule” or the “graduation rule” — states in part, “Players who attend schools with final examinations that conclude after May 16 may not participate in any activities other than the three-day post-draft rookie minicamp until after the player’s final day of examinations....

Since President Joe Biden’s 2020 win, Trump’s Save America Political Action Committee (PAC) has been prolific in its output of emails containing guilt-tripping calls for donations, key Trumpist talking points (including false election fraud claims), and attacks on his successor. However, a number of these messages—in addition to the email blasts by Trump allies that Save America subscribers were automatically signed up to—have gone a step further by using seemingly deceptive practices....

The ex-president’s eldest son was one of the most notable absences during the event at Mar-a-Lago. Family members who did attend the event included the former president’s other sons Eric Trump and Barron Trump, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump and former first lady Melania Trump.

Kazianis argued: “In my opinion the President has done more good on the Korean issue in the last year and a half than President Obama did in eight years. If you look at the strides they made during the Obama years, which advocated strategic patience-they stuck their head in the sand....

Some of the president’s allies were expected to be included, and although there was speculation that Trump may pardon his family members, the president did not grant clemency to any of the Trump family. Among those hoping to be pardoned were some rioters who stormed the Capitol building earlier in January, though they were not pardoned by the president. Trump’s use of clemency has been controversial throughout his presidency. The news of the president using his final day as commander in chief to potentially pardon more than 100 people has been criticized, with Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal saying: “Trump will issue last-second pardons [today]....

During a Tuesday interview on the conservative talk radio program The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Trump suggested that Chinese President Xi Jinping would follow the example of his “twin sister” Russian President Vladimir Putin by staging an invasion of the disputed island.

How else could you explain an “invisible” sculpture that recently sold for over $18,000? Price is guided by scarcity and subjective valuation—not by the cost of raw materials and labor or objective truth. Sculpturist Jeff Koons broke a record several years ago selling a rabbit statue made of stainless steel for $91 million.

Olivia Troye, who served as Pence’s homeland security advisor, said she was baffled to see some Republican figures still “pandering” to Trump after his treatment of Pence in the final days of their time at the White House.
