And he's suggesting once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. He also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” Europe's economy needs help. Political chaos in France and Germany means it may be slower in coming BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe's economy has enough difficulties, from tepid growth to trade tensions with the U.S. Dealing with those woes is only getting harder due to the political chaos in the two biggest European countries, France and Germany. Neither has a government backed by a functioning majority, and France could take a while yet to sort things out. But some problems aren't going to wait, such as what to do about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's America First stance on trade and how to fund stronger defense against Putin's Russia. ‘Moana 2’ cruises to another record weekend and $600 million globally “Moana 2” remains at the top of the box office in its second weekend in theaters as it pulled in another record haul. According to studio estimates Sunday, the animated Disney film added $52 million, bringing its domestic total to $300 million. That surpasses the take for the original “Moana” and brings the sequel's global tally to a staggering $600 million. It also puts the film in this year's top five at the box office. “Wicked” came in second place for the weekend with $34.9 million and “Gladiator II” was third with $12.5 million. The 10th anniversary re-release of Christopher Nolan's “Interstellar” also earned an impressive $4.4 million even though it played in only 165 theaters. Federal appeals court upholds law requiring sale or ban of TikTok in the US A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok as soon as next month, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the law - which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — is constitutional, rebuffing TikTok’s challenge that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and unfairly targeted the platform. TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. Executive of Tyler Perry Studios dies when plane he was piloting crashes in Florida ATLANTA (AP) — The president of Atlanta-based Tyler Perry Studios has died when the small plane he was piloting crashed on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The studio confirmed on Saturday that Steve Mensch, its 62-year-old president and general manager, had died Friday. The crash happened in Homosassa, about 60 miles north of Tampa. Photos from the scene show the plane having come to rest upside down on a road. Mensch helped advocate for Georgia’s film tax credit of more than $1 billion a year. Perry hired Mensch to run his namesake studio in 2016. Mensch died as Perry released his war drama, “The Six Triple Eight." The film was shot at the Atlanta studio. US added a strong 227,000 jobs in November in bounce-back from October slowdown WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s job market rebounded in November, adding 227,000 workers in a solid recovery from the previous month, when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employers’ payrolls. Last month’s hiring growth was up considerably from a meager gain of 36,000 jobs in October. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in September and October by a combined 56,000. Friday’s report also showed that the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.1% in October to a still-low 4.2%. The November data provided the latest evidence that the U.S. job market remains durable even though it has lost significant momentum from the 2021-2023 hiring boom, when the economy was rebounding from the pandemic recession. Stock market today: Wall Street hits more records following a just-right jobs report NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2%, just enough top the all-time high set on Wednesday, as it closed a third straight winning week in what looks to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.8% to set its own record. Treasury yields eased after the jobs report showed stronger hiring than expected but also an uptick in the unemployment rate. Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO spotlights complex challenge companies face in protecting top brass NEW YORK (AP) — In an era when online anger and social tensions are increasingly directed at the businesses consumers count on, Meta last year spent $24.4 million to surround CEO Mark Zuckerberg with security. But the fatal shooting this week of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson while walking alone on a New York City sidewalk has put a spotlight on the widely varied approaches companies take to protect their leaders against threats. And experts say the task of evaluating threats against executives and taking action to protect them is getting more difficult. One of the primary worries are loners whose rantings online are fed by others who are like-minded. It’s up to corporate security analysts to decide what represents a real threat. Days after gunman killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO, police push to ID him and FBI offers reward NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing. But they have made some progress in their investigation into Wednesday's killing of the leader of the largest U.S. health insurer, including that the gunman likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene. The also found that the gunman left something behind: a backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Police are working with the FBI, which on Friday night announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. USDA orders nationwide testing of milk for bird flu to halt the virus The U.S. government has ordered testing of the nation’s milk supply for bird flu to better monitor the spread of the virus in dairy cows. The Agriculture Department on Friday said raw or unpasteurized milk from dairy farms and processors nationwide must be tested on request starting Dec. 16. Testing will begin in six states — California, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon and Pennsylvania. The move is aimed at eliminating the virus, which has infected more than 700 dairy herds in 15 states.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and ethical concerns associated with phone scamming operations. Not only do these operations prey on unsuspecting individuals for financial gain, but they also create a toxic work environment where abuse and exploitation are rampant.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — A rare win as a double-digit underdog came just in time to let the Dallas Cowboys believe their playoff hopes aren't completely gone in 2024. Cooper Rush probably will need three more victories in a row filling in for the injured Dak Prescott for any postseason talk to be realistic. The thing is, the Cowboys (4-7) could be favored in two of those games, and already are by four points as an annual Thanksgiving Day host against the New York Giants (2-9) on Thursday, according to BetMGM. Not to mention the losing record at the moment for each of the next four opponents for the defending NFC East champions, playoff qualifiers each of the past three seasons. The Cowboys have a chance to make something of the improbable and chaotic 34-26 win at Washington that ended a five-game losing streak. “Behind the eight ball,” Micah Parsons said, the star pass rusher acknowledging the reality that Dallas hadn't done much yet. “Let’s see how we can handle adversity and see if we can make a playoff run. But we got a long way to go.” It was a start, though, powered in part by the best 55 minutes from the Dallas defense since the opener, when the Cowboys dismantled Cleveland and looked the part of a Super Bowl contender. The last five minutes for the Dallas defense against the Commanders looked a lot like most of the nine games after that 33-17 victory over the Browns. Which is to say not very good. Jayden Daniels easily drove Washington 69 yards to a touchdown before throwing an 86-yard scoring pass in the final seconds to Terry McLaurin, who weaved through five defenders when a tackle might have ended the game. The Cowboys kept a 27-26 lead thanks to Austin Seibert's second missed extra point, and withstood another blunder when Juanyeh Thomas returned an onside kick recovery for a TD rather than slide and leave one kneel-down from Rush to end the game. Dallas will have to remember it did hold a dynamic rookie quarterback's offense to 251 yards before the madness of the ending in the Cowboys' biggest upset victory since 2010 at the New York Giants. That one was too late to save the season. This one might not be. “We needed it,” embattled coach Mike McCarthy said. “It’s been frustrating, no doubt. We’ve acknowledged that. We’ve got another one right around the corner here, so we have to get some wins and get some momentum.” Rush ended a personal three-game losing streak with his best showing since the previous time he won as the replacement for Prescott, who is out for the season after surgery for a torn hamstring. The 117.6 passer rating was Rush's best as a starter, and the NFL's second-worst rushing attack played a solid complementary role with Rico Dowdle gaining 86 yards on 19 carries. KaVontae Turpin's electrifying 99-yard kickoff return did more than lift the Cowboys when it appeared an 11-point lead might get away in the final five minutes. It eased the worst day of special teams for Dallas since John Fassel took over that phase four years ago. Suddenly struggling kicker Brandon Aubrey had one field-goal attempt blocked and missed another. Bryan Anger had a punt blocked. For the second time in five games, Aubrey's attempt to bounce a kickoff in front of the return man backfired. The ball bounced outside the landing zone, putting the Commanders at the 40-yard line to start the second half and setting up the drive to the game's first touchdown. CB Josh Butler, whose NFL debut earlier this season came five years after the end of his college career, had 12 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups. The pass breakups were the most by an undrafted Dallas player since 1994. Rookie LT Tyler Guyton, who has had an up-and-down season with injuries and performance issues, was benched immediately after getting called for a false start in the fourth quarter. His replacement, Asim Richards, could be sidelined with a high ankle sprain that executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones revealed on his radio show Monday. Veteran Chuma Edoga, who was the projected starter at Guyton's position before a preseason toe injury, was active but didn't play against the Commanders. He's awaiting his season debut. The status of perennial All-Pro RG Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) and LG Tyler Smith (ankle/knee) will be a question on the short week after both sat against Washington. Stephen Jones indicated Smith could be available and said the same of WR Brandin Cooks, who hasn't played since Week 4 because of a knee issue. TE Jake Ferguson may miss at least a second week with a concussion. The short week might make it tough for CB Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) to return. 75% — Rush's completion rate, his best with at least 10 passes. He was 24 of 32 for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. His other game with multiple TDs and no picks was a 25-10 victory over Washington two years ago, when he went 4-1 with Prescott sidelined by a broken thumb. There's some extra rest after the short week, with Cincinnati making a “Monday Night Football” visit on Dec. 9. The next road game is at Carolina on Dec. 15. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

NoneIn general, an emotionally unavailable person struggles with sharing and expressing their feelings by avoiding vulnerability and emotional connections with others. It often has a negative impact on relationships. So, after Reddit user u/bubblegum123567 's relationship with an emotionally unavailable man ended, she asked other men on the platform if they regret letting go of a woman they dated and if they think about having serious relationships. She explained, "I have been in a few relationships with guys who have been emotionally unavailable. The most recent one ended with the guy telling me that he could not give me what I wanted. I was the first girl that he tried to have a relationship with in over a decade. He had gone on dates with others, but none of them progressed to more than a few dates. I think it really was that he was not in a position to be in a serious relationship with anyone, not just 'with me.' I think there were a few causes, including avoidant personality and a busy job. Guys who have been avoidant or emotionally unavailable, do you ever regret letting go of a woman that you dated and do you ever think about reaching out to her when you are in a position to have a healthy, serious relationship?" "As someone who has an avoidant personality and busy job, I gotta be honest: no. I learned that I just love working and my hobbies. Having superficial work relationships and seeing my parents and siblings is more than enough social interaction for me to be happy. I felt bad because I hurt her and wasted her time but this way is better for her in the long term." —Anonymous "Yes. It's unbelievably painful to lose someone because my brain wasn't 100% in the right place at the time and fucking it up even though I wanted to be with her." — u/TitleSpare "As of today, I recognize that I am not emotionally available... and since I have no desire to jerk people around or lead them on into a brick wall, I choose not to date." "In my case, no, because at the time I was incapable of knowing or conceptualizing a 'serious relationship' and her in the context of one. Being unavailable was a sad limitation, not a choice I made that I could regret afterward. Even having grown since then, I can’t retroactively understand something that wasn’t there, only just kind of vaguely wonder." — u/alpha_bAITA "I certainly do (I am a 32-year-old male). Throughout my 20s, I dated many women very short term and cut it off whenever it got even remotely serious, or was on its way there. To your question specifically, there is one I met in October 2019 and we dated for a few months, but when she started making future plans and getting more personal with me outside of sex, I cut it off..." "This was the end of February 2020, two weeks before the pandemic hit. While it would have been great to be with her during the pandemic to support each other, pandemic or not, I wish I hadn't done it and at least tried to see it through. I gave her the same 'I'm not ready/looking for a relationship at this point' bs that I told every other woman. I left her house as she cried. I only reached out once in March or April of 2020 to check in when we were in the midst of the pandemic. I haven't reached out or heard from her since and don't expect to. I don't deserve her. It wasn't until earlier this year when a woman I was 'friends with benefits' with asked me why I'd never been in a relationship; she said I was a great listener to her but I never wanted to talk about me. After calling me emotionally unavailable (which other women had, too, but I never acted on), she asked about my attachment type. She said she was 'anxious' but I had no idea what that was. I took a bunch of unofficial tests and they all suggested I was 'fearful avoidant' — apparently the worst one. I told my friend and she wasn't surprised. I'm doing my best now to work on that issue, I can't afford therapy now but certainly will when I can. It was nice to know at least some of what was keeping me from a real relationship, but I don't bring that up when I'm breaking things off. It feels like an excuse — or that it may be perceived as such, no matter how sincere I am. So for now, I avoid dating seriously as I work on things, but do date casually, and communicate all of that at the beginning." — u/DMoxyMoron "I used to beat myself up a lot about my one who got away. I keep to myself and am quiet around people. But she brought out a much warmer more fun version of myself..." "However, so did another ex of mine and a recent fling too. Eventually, I put two and two together, and the whole 'it's not you, it's me' thing is true. I miss my ex a lot. She definitely was the right girl at the wrong time. But the more time between her and now, the more I think that those other exes would have been just the same. It's bittersweet because I kind of liked the idea of her being this special one for me, but really, anyone can work with anyone. It's just a matter of putting in that effort with someone." —Anonymous "I've thought about this, and while being more emotionally available might have made some of my relationships last little longer, I don't think any of them would have really worked out. I didn't know jack shit about myself, what I wanted out of life or needed out of a relationship. I was mostly dating indiscriminately with shallow parameters and was dating a lot of the wrong women. Most of my exes have gone on to find happy relationships and I would never try to change that. The few that haven't, I'm not in contact with anymore for good reasons." — u/weirdoldhobo1978 "A 39-year-old male here. I've never regretted telling a woman that I wasn't able to be a good dating partner or wasn't really available for a successful relationship to happen at the time. Ever. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that when I'm not in a place to have a successful, new emotional relationship — whether friendship or romantic — it is not going to have any real chance of good success. Whether it be from my current mental state or just how much time I can devote to building the new relationship. I also typically don't hold any real hope when someone tells me that they aren't in a position to form a relationship either because romantic interest in new partners seems to cool so quickly. In most cases where a woman reached out, or I reached out later, our interests had cooled enough that we were unlikely to spark anything real again." "The question makes me want to launch into a larger dissection of how we each are available or aren't — and what that means in the scope of relationships." — u/RogueGentlemanGamer "I think, if in my younger years, I would have realized that no two humans are perfect, there is no perfect human for anyone, and that a successful relationship occurs when two people are willing to work together to get past each other's flaws. I would have done things differently. But it is hard to go back." — u/Aintthatthetruthyall And lastly, one woman shared this perspective: "My own personal experience says that regret is a TERRIBLE predictor of personal change. People can strongly and sincerely regret their past actions...and then when they get another chance, they pull the same dumb shit again..." "There are plenty of avoidant people out there who put 'the one who got away' up on a pedestal. It's so much easier to fixate on the idea of lost love. The ex can stay a perfect ideal who is forever above the mundane day-to-day reality of an actual relationship. They never fall short. They never disappoint. They don't fart in their sleep. All this is to say, I'm sure there are people out there who DO regret letting a good partner get away. But you should be careful how much value you attach to that. What someone regrets isn't always a good measure of what they value." — u/Caroline_Bintley So, we want to hear your thoughts about this. Let us know in the comments!
