In a statement Monday, the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) said consumer fireworks retailers are reporting a nationwide shortage following shipping delays and supply chain issues, as well as record-breaking sales of fireworks last year.

Congress has thus far approved three rounds of direct stimulus checks since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the first for $1,200 being approved in March 2020 followed by a second payment of $600 in December. Under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which was passed and signed in March, most Americans received another $1,400 payment. Now more than 2 million Americans have signed a Change.org petition calling for recurring monthly stimulus checks of $2,000 as dozens of lawmakers have urged Biden to support a similar proposal....

During a segment on Shepard Smith Reporting on Wednesday afternoon, the Fox News host fact-checked Trump’s recent claims about Puerto Rico. “President Trump is calling the island one of the most corrupt places on earth. He added [on Twitter] that ‘by the way, I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to Puerto Rico.’ Those are opinions as opposed to facts,” he said. Smith went on to declare that Trump also “repeated his false claims” about the $92 billion aid that Puerto Rico has received, citing a tweet the president posted yesterday....

Napolitano added that he felt that Democrats had made progress during the first day of public impeachment hearings Wednesday. “I think Democrats moved the ball forward yesterday,” he said. In the clip, co-host Ainsley Earhardt tried to dismiss the impeachment hearing as a matter of opinion. “Isn’t it all based on opinion and hearsay? When you read the transcript, everybody has their own opinion,” she interjected. Napolitano quickly pointed to the overwhelming agreement among witnesses that the President acted unlawfully....

What the heck. Last week Levin, Malone and Turner emerged at the center of negotiations to combine Time Warner and Turner, an $8 billion-plus deal that would overtake the recent combination of Walt Disney and Capital Cities/ABC as the world’s largest media company. The formal talks extended into the holiday weekend, and sources said late last week things looked promising. But overcoming a glaring lack of chemistry among themselves isn’t the only obstacle for Levin, Malone and Turner....

Last week, in passing a ruling which ended a nearly four-year legal saga, the French Republic carried out such a travesty. In 2017, a 27 year-old man named Kobili Traoré broke into the Paris apartment of his neighbor, a 65 year-old retired physician and kindergarten teacher named Sarah Halimi. Traoré had in the past taunted Halimi, who was the only Jewish resident in her building. On this night, Traoré, who was high on marijuana, beat and stabbed Halimi for over an hour....

James’ sister Catherine told the news outlet on Tuesday that she hasn’t spoken to her brother in years, saying that he “kept to himself.” “I don’t know what might have been his motivation.

Freaks and Geeks was not only a fondly remembered hidden gem, but it served as a launching point for the careers of a number of big names.

HOW do you get a jaded young consumer to notice your ads for more than seven seconds’? Print your promos on postcards, stick them in slick racks and put the racks in bathrooms and other dark corners of the hippest gyms and restaurants. The result: patrons think they’ve discovered the freebies themselves, they grab a few cards-and even send them to their demographically desirable friends. Europeans launched the idea more than five years ago as a cheap way to reach cynical, adinundated, big spending 21- to 44-year-olds....

McDowell’s comments came during a discussion on the Fox News program Outnumbered, in which panelists discussed the Medicare-for-All proposal—or single-payer health care—put forward by Democratic presidential candidates Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Several other leading Democratic candidates support variations of the universal health care plan. “More government control over your health, we’ve been there,” McDowell argued. “It’s called the Eugenics movement, where there was the forced sterilization of the mentally disabled, up until 1979,” the anchor claimed....
