Calling a large water-dwelling mammal fat is very hippo-critical.
Fox Noise Scooped the Competition. Then They Needed a Pooper Scooper to Clean up the Mess
Fox News on Wednesday changed its story on a possible "terror attack" at the U.S.-Canada border.
Following the vehicle explosion at the New York border with Canada, Fox News quickly called the event a "terror attack," citing "sources."
The network also reported that the vehicle was "full of explosives."
But within an hour, the network changed its reporting.
"Now we told you earlier that there was an explosion because there were explosives inside the car, and now authorities are apparently walking that back just a little bit saying it's unclear if there were explosives or how many explosives," Fox News host Trace Gallagher clarified to viewers.
"And so you can see as, as the fog clears on this air, and they're kind of getting a better idea of what's happening," he added.
Within minutes, the network also backed off its claim of a "terror attack" and instead labeled the motive as "unclear."
"Clearly, this might not be a terror attack at all," Gallagher said.

A Smoking Gun Note
"A scribbled note said to have been written by former Trump Organization Comptroller Jeffrey McConney reads: 'DJT TO GET FINAL REVIEW.' The note appears on a document that allegedly exaggerated Donald’s net worth by $3.5 billion, and contained expansive evidence of fraud," wrote Mary Trump, herself a professional psychologist. "I shared this evidence with attorney Joe Gallina of Call to Activism, who said, 'I can’t think of a bigger smoking gun than one that says – in all caps – 'DONALD TRUMP MUST APPROVE THIS' on a document riddled with fraud.'"
The problem for the former presidents and his adult sons, who are currently on trial for exaggerating and manipulating the value of their assets, is that their primary defense is that they simply followed their accountants' advice — and this piece of evidence would directly contradict that.
But there's another reason this is a devastating blow to Trump's case, she wrote.
"This potentially deal-breaking document was NOT provided in discovery by Donald’s lawyers. Instead, it was handed over by Mazars, Donald’s financial auditing company," wrote Mary Trump. That means that Trump's lawyers weren't fully transparent in the discovery process — and they could be in trouble right along with him.

Want to Earn 40% on Your Money? Just Buy Some Turkish Bonds.
Turkey's central bank has raised its main interest rate to 40% as part of a concerted campaign to tackle soaring inflation in the country.
The rise, from the previous rate of 35%, was much greater than expected.
But Turkey's central bank suggested rates were approaching the level required to start lowering inflation.
Inflation - which measures the rate of price rises - hit 61.36% in October and is forecast to rise further and peak in May next year at around 70 to 75%.
While central banks globally have raised interest rates in an attempt to slow rising prices, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had resisted economic orthodoxy previously, arguing that higher rates would cause prices to rise.
However, since his re-election in May, his stance has changed.
The central bank, under its new chief Hafize Gaye Erkan, a former Wall Street banker, has been allowed to ratchet up interest rates - to try to increase the cost of borrowing and slow down price rises - from 8.5% to 40%.
WARNING: You Might Take a Turkish Bath

Lots of Sick Chinese Kids
Hospitals in northern China appear to be “overwhelmed with sick children” as the country grapples with a surge in respiratory illnesses and clusters of pneumonia, prompting the World Health Organization to ask Beijing for more data.
At the Beijing Children’s Hospital in the capital, long lines of people were waiting to register during a visit by NBC News on Thursday. Waiting rooms were crowded with parents and children, some of them on IV drips.
Though experts said more data is needed, most agreed there was no indication that the outbreak in China poses any global threat.
Since mid-October, the WHO said, northern China has reported an increase in respiratory diseases compared with the same period in the previous three years. The increase coincides with the end of China’s National Day holiday week, one of its busiest travel periods.
This is also China’s first full flu season since the lifting late last year of some of the world’s most stringent Covid-19 restrictions, which minimized many people’s exposure to a wide range of pathogens for three years.
Countries such as Australia and New Zealand that also had “zero-Covid” restrictions experienced similar surges in respiratory diseases when they were lifted, and the United States had its own “tripledemic” of respiratory viruses last year.

Who is the Real Terrorist Here?
University of California basketball player Fardaws Aimaq, whose parents are Afghan refugees, went into the stands and confronted a fan who had allegedly taunted him as a "terrorist," the school said Wednesday.
In video widely circulated on social media, Aimaq, a 6-foot-11 forward, climbs up the bleachers before he reaches a young man — who is considerably shorter.
“Do you want to talk? Do you want to talk?” Aimaq appears to ask the young fan after the University of Texas at El Paso’s 75-72 win over the Bears in a game played in San Juan Capistrano, California.
It isn't clear whether the young man responds, and Aimaq retreats before the confrontation can escalate.
Cal coach Mark Madsen said he has asked organizers of the SoCal Challenge tournament to have the fan banned.
“Throughout and after Monday’s game, Fardaws Aimaq was allegedly subjected to abhorrent and offensive comments from a fan — including being called a terrorist,” Madsen said in a statement the school issued early Wednesday night. “I have asked the SoCal Challenge tournament director that a formal investigation be conducted and that this fan be barred from the premises."
While Madsen said he was "disturbed that Fardaws was allegedly on the receiving end of such language," he said he wished Aimaq wouldn't have confronted the fan.

Something Suspicious
The 81-year-old president, who is both feeble and incapable of thinking for himself AND a devious global criminal mastermind, pardoned two hulking, 42-pound turkeys at the White House on his birthday Monday. The young birds, Liberty and Bell, allegedly hail from Minnesota, though I was unable to independently confirm their place of origin.
Is “Minnesota” some kind of code word used by members of the Biden Crime Family? Are we to believe the president issued these pardons without expecting something in return?
Adding to my suspicions, I could hear the turkeys speaking a language that definitely wasn’t English. Isn’t that an interesting coincidence? Was it Turkish? I can’t be sure.
So let’s see ... we have two young, strong male turkeys who may very well hail from a foreign country. Did they enter our country illegally with intent to do us harm? Is that why Biden pardoned them?
I’m just asking questions here, folks.

Holy Mackerel!Sam Bankman-Fried, convicted of fraud in the meltdown of FTX, has traded in crypto for a new currency: mackerel. The fallen crypto king, who is cooling his heels at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while he awaits sentencing for seven felony offenses, has learned the fundamentals of prison economics while sharing a dormitory with a former Honduran president awaiting criminal trial and a recently convicted former top cop of Mexico, people familiar with the matter said. Mackerel has replaced cigarettes as a favored federal jailhouse currency after officials banned smoking, and inmates sometimes use pouches of the preserved fish purchased in a commissary to pay for services from one another. Bankman-Fried traded some pouches of macks, as they are known, to a fellow inmate for a haircut of his signature moptop ahead of his trial, one of the people said.
