Concerns that elected officials in Congress are too old resurfaced over the weekend following news that retiring U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, 81, has been residing at a senior living facility, according to her son. Granger has not cast a vote since July. On Friday, the outlet The Dallas Express published an investigation into Granger’s whereabouts, reporting that Granger (R-Texas) is currently living at Tradition Senior Living in Fort Worth, which provides memory care services. Granger’s son, Brandon Granger, said that his mother is not in the memory care facility, but he said she does reside at Tradition Senior Living, according to The Dallas Morning News . The outlet also reported that her son said she has been “having some dementia issues late in the year.” Reacting to the news on Sunday, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) wrote : “Kay Granger’s long absence reveals the problem with a Congress that rewards seniority & relationships more than merit & ideas. We have a sclerotic gerontocracy.” “American gerontocracy, on both sides of the political aisle, is an absolute embarrassment,” wrote the journalist Mehdi Hasan on Saturday. The journalist Ken Klippenstein echoed these remarks. In a post on Bluesky he argued it shouldn’t be taboo for the media to point out when elected officials appear to be impaired by age. “Part of why the gerontocracy exists is because the news media is so squeamish about calling this stuff out,” he wrote. According to a breakdown from The Washington Post in 2023, the median age in Congress has been trending upward in recent decades. Last year, 48% of all members of Congress were Baby Boomers, and 19 lawmakers elected to the 118th Congress are members of the Silent Generation, meaning they were born at some point between 1928 and 1945. After the 2024 presidential race, during which President Joe Biden stepped down as the presumptive Democratic nominee following a disastrous debate performance that sparked widespread concerns that he was not fit to run, there was some reshuffling of the Democratic leadership on congressional committees which saw younger lawmakers take over. However, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), 35, was unsuccessful in her bid to be the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. She was bested by 74-year-old Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer indicated that the thinking that drove some members to favor Connolly is also what was behind Democrats’ loss of the White House on November 5. “Valuing seniority over political and messaging chops is exactly how Democrats got into this mess in the first place,” he wrote on X in mid-December.

Emerging tight end Noah Gray gives Mahomes and the Chiefs another option in passing gameAn illegal alien got-away, previously deported by the Trump administration, is accused of murdering a woman in the New York City subway by setting her on fire. Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, was arrested by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) on Sunday after being caught on the subway’s surveillance footage allegedly setting a woman on fire and then fanning the flames to burn her alive. Footage of the gruesome attack has circulated widely online. The NYPD has not yet released the identity of the woman. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirmed to Fox News’s Bill Melugin that Zapeta-Calil is an illegal alien who is among millions of so-called “got-aways” living in the United States after having successfully crossed the southern border without being detected. According to ICE officials, Zapeta-Calil first crossed the border on June 1, 2018, near Sonoita, Arizona. He was given an order of expedited removal and deported to his native Guatemala six days after crossing. Subsequently, on an unknown date at an unknown location, Zapeta-Calil crossed the border without being detected by Border Patrol agents and ultimately made his way to New York City which has a strict sanctuary jurisdiction policy that vows not to cooperate with ICE agents.

Amazon has slashed the price of a Fire TV Stick rival that’s now half the price of the popular streaming device. The Roku Express 4K Streaming Media Player is currently reduced to £30, down from £39. That’s half the usual price of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K , which would set you back £59.99. However, Amazon has just reduced this model down to £34.99 to tempt customers in the Black Friday sale. The Roku device still works out £4.99 cheaper than the Fire TV Stick and lets you stream live TV, news, sports, films and TV shows on more than 250 free and paid channels and apps including Prime Video, Disney+, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and many more. Buyers can also claim three months of free Apple TV+ worth £26.97 by redeeming on the platform after setup. READ MORE: The Dunelm halogen heater that is 'great for giving instant heat' READ MORE: Amazon's giant Lindt Chocolate Hamper now cheaper than Tesco ahead of Black Friday The Roku Express 4K provides streaming in HD, 4K Ultra HD, and HDR for crystal clear picture quality and can turn any non-smart TV into a smart TV packed with streaming apps by plugging it straight into an HDMI port. It’s also designed to deliver a smooth streaming experience and fast WiFi connection even with several devices running simultaneously. The ‘easy to use’ remote also features shortcuts to the most popular streamers and has voice control so you can search for your favourite shows hands free. The Roku Express 4K Streaming Media Player has earned more than 1,800 positive reviews from Amazon customers, with users hailing it as ‘great value for money’ and an ‘improvement’ on a Fire TV Stick. One satisfied customer said: “Brilliant and great value for money. Switched to this from a Fire Stick which we were having many problems with and it’s a huge improvement. Absolutely recommend this to anyone. So handy I can control it from my phone as the remote can be a bit slow. Seriously amazing.” Another said: “Fantastic value, versatile streamer. Added to an older Samsung non-smart TV. Does everything I want and more. Large range of streaming channels including all the popular ones. Simple to use remote, plus the option to use an app on your mobile as a remote, so you can type and issue voice commands to Roku . It is probably better than the options provided on many smart TVs and for a small fraction of the price.” A third shopper said: “Ditch the Fire Stick and get one of these. My Fire Stick was getting slower and slower which got to be a bit of a drag. While looking for alternatives I saw lots of good reviews for the Roku and decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did as it’s completely changed our viewing experience. No more lagging and waiting, no more drop-outs from WiFi. The apps all seem to work a lot better too.” However, the same buyer pointed out a downside, writing: “The only thing this lacked were the power and volume buttons on the remote. I bought a replacement remote with these and voice control while it was on special and that solved the problem.” Elsewhere, Sky is also offering big discounts on TV packages in its Black Friday sale , with plans offering hundreds of TV channels and a free Netflix subscription. Shoppers can currently save £168 on the provider’s Sky Stream, Sky TV and Netflix bundle that’s at its lowest-ever price of £19 a month, down from £26.As I mentioned last week, our Thanksgiving newspaper this year was produced in advance so that it could arrive in customers’ mailboxes on Wednesday. Thursday was a postal holiday, so we had to choose between Wednesday and Friday delivery. Because the early delivery meant early deadlines, we chose a feature story about charity fundraising by Beaches Restaurant & Bar for the front page. I thought it was a perfect choice for a Thanksgiving Day paper. Holidays are good days for good news. As our plans for that newspaper came together, I wondered what previous Columbian Thanksgiving papers were like, so I went back to our microfilm, which is available to the public (for a fee) at newspapers.com . I looked first at the Nov. 25, 2004, edition and was struck by some of the similarities between the news then and the news today. Our top story was about an election recount in the governor’s race. After a statewide machine recount of the ballots, Republican Dino Rossi led Democrat Christine O. Gregoire by only 42 votes. (Gregoire was named the winner after a hand recount was conducted.) This year, of course, we are looking at recounts in the 18th District Senate and Clark County Council Position 4 races. Inside, I found a story about how Vladimir Putin’s Russia was trying to take over Ukraine by rigging an election and installing pro-Kremlin leadership. In the local news section, Ridgefield school administrators were talking about overcrowded facilities and trying to get voters to pass a bond to fund construction. Again, that story persists. I did spot this major difference: In 2004, Video Only advertised 50-inch flat panel TVs for $5,999. In this year’s ad, they are priced as low as $219. Thanksgiving 2014 Next I skipped ahead to 2014. The first thing that caught my eye was a front-page story about holiday shopping that seemed like it could have been written this year. Here’s how it started: “Falling gas prices. Soaring stock market. Unemployment at a six-year low. All signs point to a successful holiday shopping season. Despite the economic tail winds, though, retailers are finding themselves having to work to get shoppers into stores.” Inside, there was a story about how University of Washington researchers were suggesting more use of naloxone to fight the state’s growing epidemic opioid addiction. According to that story, doctors were hesitant to prescribe it. A decade later, it’s available without a prescription and is even found in local vending machines. Another story caught my eye that seemed similar to today: Puget Sound’s orcas were struggling, despite a decade of federal protection. Thanksgiving 1924 By now I had found enough similarities with today’s news. So I went back 100 years. Newspapers were different in those days. The Wednesday Nov. 26 edition (there was no Thanksgiving paper) contained 21 front-page stories and a political cartoon. My favorite was headlined “She Never Knew Her Husband’s Business; Now He’s Dead Bandit.” It started like this: “‘He was just a good, sympathetic pal. He never confided in me. When I would ask him questions about his business affairs he would just say, “You’re young, dear, and it would only worry you.” How I wish now that he had told me how matters really were.’ “In these few words, Mrs. I.C. Peterson, 20 and pretty, speaking in a voice whose hardened, weary tone betrayed the intense strain under which she was laboring, summed up the history of her 11-weeks marriage to Karl Peterson, 36, internationally known convict, who was killed by a Seattle detective in the Puget Sound city Monday after a running gun fight.” Now that’s a story!

NoneIs he serious? Trump stirs unease with Panama, Greenland ploys

A MUM of three with a loving husband, marketing exec Kellie James*, 49, of Barnet, North London, is happy with her secret habit. Grabbing the all-important after-school snack, and my handbag and coat, I head toward the door. But before I hit the school run, I need to do one more thing to prepare myself for my kids’ return — watch a ten-minute porn video. Many days, as the clock rolls around to 2.45pm, I reach for my mobile and watch a sexy romp. People who know me would be shocked, but it makes me a calm, relaxed mum when I meet the children at the school gates. Nobody’s kid deserves a mum who is tightly wound, and is nagging them from the minute they step out of school. Read more on porn And after having some “me time”, which is exactly what my viewing habits are, I am not that tense, wired mother. I am happy, relaxed and genuinely delighted to hear about their day. It makes me a great mum. Women watching sex is a massive taboo, but I watch porn on my phone daily — and sometimes I will indulge twice a day. Most read in Fabulous None of my friends talk about porn, and I’m sure they’d think of me as some kind of deviant if I confessed to it. I’m a mum to three gorgeous young kids and happily married . My husband and I have been together for 11 years and I like having sex with him, but find that I’m often just too tired to bother. After having children, we are both so exhausted and sex has sadly been put on the back-burner. It was during lockdown in March 2020 that our intimate time hit rock bottom, with the kids always under our feet — and that’s when I started looking at porn. I simply enjoy it and genuinely believe it makes me a better mum. I’m not alone. A new study of 1,200 women found 77 per cent admitted to having watched porn in the last month. I’m one of them but, while 28 per cent of the women said they viewed at least once a week, I’m more of a regular than most — as watching porn is something I incorporate daily into my busy life. I work full-time for a charity as a marketing executive, and as I often work from home I schedule porn-watching time into my breaks. If I’m in the office, I factor it into the times I am alone at home without the kids. Favourite is threesomes My usual routine would be to watch it in my bedroom in my lunch hour, maybe for about ten minutes or even less. Watching a bit before the school run is great — my working hours are arranged around school pick-up, so the fact that I’m rushed makes me more aroused. I sometimes masturbate while watching, and other times I watch it to feel turned on but won’t take it any further. I admit I usually feel bad afterwards — part of this might be because it feels like a compulsion, almost like vaping . During the first lockdown, my hours became more home-based and one lunchtime I realised I’d never thought to look on my phone at porn. It was an urge that came out of the blue, and something I wouldn’t have dreamt of doing when I had been entirely office-based. But from that first viewing, I looked pretty much every day. I feel guilty because some of the pornography isn’t very ethical and depicts women being degraded and treated badly — though I only watch porn where it looks consensual and I certainly hope the women aren’t being forced to do it. There was absolutely no way I could reveal I watch it regularly. I recently went out with some mum friends in the evening and we were talking about sex . One of the mums admitted her partner regularly viewed porn, and I watched how the other mums reacted. They were all horrified and said they were certain their partners didn’t watch it, and would worry that their other half was attracted to other women if they caught them viewing. Realisation hit me at that moment — there was absolutely no way I could reveal I watch it regularly as they’d probably judge me. It’s strange that so many people watch it but pretend they don’t. Once, when I was very drunk, I told a friend I sometimes watched it. She blushed, looked embarrassed and changed the subject, and I never brought it up again. I couldn’t sleep for days after, as I was convinced she’d never speak to me again, but when we met for coffee the next week she pretended it hadn’t happened. I find work super-stressful because I have a difficult manager who is unpredictable, and we have a lot of long meetings on Zoom. These are often tedious and if I’m working from home, I will sometimes watch porn right after a meeting to distract myself and to relax. It gets me away from work, and helps access a different part of myself. A quick watch of porn is an easy way for me to take care of sexual tension. Watch it together It takes longer to feel satisfied when I have sex with my husband, whereas if I masturbate while watching porn I can be finished in about five minutes. I have mentioned to my husband that I’ve watched it as a one-off, not revealing how often. He didn’t seem fussed by my revelation and said we should maybe watch it together, but that has never happened. Sometimes I worry porn watching is creating a distance between us, as I suspect he’s watching it too and doing that instead of having sex with me. This leads me to worry about the type of sex that he watches and what his preferences are. My favourite category is usually threesomes — two men and one woman. Interestingly, I would never like to do this in real life , so it’s escapism for me to watch something totally different. I definitely notice that I am getting more used to watching porn and am no longer shocked by seeing different types of sex, as I was at first. But I still do not watch films where girls are victims — that is morally wrong. I know deep down there is too much judgment for that. There must be some kind of algorithm, as the site I use definitely shows me more of the same on my phone — it always offers up threesomes. I always check that I’m browsing privately, turn down the sound if my husband is home and make sure I’ve deleted my browsing history so the family won’t inadvertently see things they shouldn’t. I have no plans to stop watching porn but wish I could feel better about it, and less ashamed. Dating app Ill­citEncouters.com reports that 80 per cent of women feel more comfortable discussing and watching porn compared to five years ago. This makes me feel wishful about chatting about my viewing habits freely with my mates over a glass of wine ­— but I know deep down there is too much judgment for that. My gut tells me to keep my porn viewing secret, but I’m pretty sure my pals are probably watching it too and just not admitting to it. *Name has been changed ...But don't get addicted PSYCHOLOGIST Emma Kenny has advice for those who feel their porn habit is getting too much. She says: “That dopamine high from viewing it can be addictive.” Here Emma shares some words of advice . . . WORK OUT WHAT’S BEHIND YOUR PORN INTEREST : Why are you turning to porn? Is it because you’re stressed, bored or feeling disconnected from your partner ? Once you understand the reason, you can tackle it head on. For stress, try something calming like yoga or five minutes of deep breathing. If boredom is the culprit, find something that excites you, whether it’s bingeing a new TV series or diving into a good book. Recognising what’s driving you helps to break the cycle of automatic behaviour. MAKE IT A REWARD, NOT A REFLEX : Think of porn like a slice of chocolate cake – delicious as a treat, but unhealthy if consumed too often. When you use it as a reward, rather than a routine, it becomes more enjoyable and less of a habit. For example, after a busy week at work, let it be a Friday night treat rather than something you turn to on your lunch break. Keeping it special helps you to maintain control, stop it feeling like a necessity and set limits. CHANGE UP THE MOMENT WITH SOMETHING RANDOM : If you want to cut back how much you use, next time you feel the urge, do something completely unexpected instead. Blast your favourite song, try a five-minute workout or even start decluttering that drawer. READ MORE SUN STORIES Distracting yourself with something random gives your brain a chance to reset and interrupts the habit loop. Little moments like these can help you to regain control without feeling as though you are missing out.6 Reasons Why Joe Biden Pardoned Hunter Biden
