When my mother died in 2019, we were estranged. I've always had a spiritual side and decided to book a session with a medium to connect with her. So when my estranged mother died in early 2019, it was only natural for me to explore an unconventional path: hiring a medium to reach out to her from the other side. She keeps saying 'mom,' 'mother,' 'mom,'" Balesky continued. I understand some people's skepticism about mediums, but it felt authentic, as if Balesky was genuinely connecting with my mom.

☆ The Supreme Court rules Trump is eligible to run for office again

Read previewThe Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday that Donald Trump is eligible to run for president again, quashing legal challenges that loomed over the GOP frontrunner's candidacy for office. Instead, the court effectively foreclosed almost any challenge to a federal office holder under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, the insurrection clause. "Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President," the justices wrote. The Supreme Court had never before issued a ruling on the post-Civil War era provision known as the "insurrectionist clause." The Supreme Court is set to hear separate arguments in April over whether Trump can be criminally prosecuted for election interference charges, including those stemming from his role during the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

AdvertisementAfter being laid off from his tech job in 2019, Robert wanted two things: job stability and multiple sources of income. By 2021, he'd found a remote job that he said paid $180,000 a year and had a part-time gig that was bringing in an additional $2,000 a month. He went looking for other remote jobs and landed one that paid $190,000 a year. Robert said his overemployment journey likely wouldn't have happened if the pandemic hadn't led more companies to adopt remote working arrangements.

☆ Trump lashes out at financial monitor in business fraud case after she reports errors
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the financial monitor overseeing the Trump Organization and urged a judge to fire her days after she reported a range of issues — and flagged a questionable $48 million loan — in the former president's New York civil business fraud case. New York Attorney General Letitia James has asked Engoron to order that Jones continue to monitor the Trump Organization for at least five years as part of his judgment in the case. Robert made that argument three days after Jones submitted a report to Engoron accusing the Trump Organization of providing incomplete, inconsistent or incorrect information about its financial disclosures. In a footnote in that report, Jones said she identified a loan between Trump himself and an entity related to Trump Chicago Tower that later turned out not to exist. She also seeks five-year bans with the same conditions for Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who took over the Trump Organization after their father became president in 2017.

Chief Justice John Roberts dedicated his 2022 year-end report to calling out threats against judges. He said that the courts cannot do their job if they do not feel safe. This comes after a tumultuous year for the court after it overturned Roe v. Wade this summer. Top editors give you the stories you want — delivered right to your inbox each weekday. This comes amid threats of violence to Supreme Court justices throughout the year, including a threat to Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and public dismay over several decisions made by the courts.

U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, had campaigned on overturning Trump's hardline immigration measures before taking office in 2021 but kept Title 42 in place for more than a year. A federal judge last month ruled Title 42 was unlawful in response to a lawsuit originally brought by asylum-seeking migrants represented by the American Civil Liberties Union. Hours later, Chief Justice John Roberts in a brief order issued a stay that will leave Title 42 in place until further notice from the court. DHS last week updated a six-pillar plan that calls for the expanded use of a fast-track deportation process if Title 42 is terminated. In El Paso, shelters have struggled to provide for arriving migrants even as many ultimately are headed to join relatives in other parts of the United States.

AL RAYYAN, Qatar, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Poland coach Czeslaw Michniewicz praised his side and striker Robert Lewandowski after their 2-0 win against Saudi Arabia on Saturday and said that with a bit of luck his top man could have ended the game with a hat-trick. Lewandowski scored his first ever World Cup goal after he missed a penalty in their opening draw with Mexico, and was visibly emotional after finally finding the net in his second and possibly last World Cup. Today Robert could have scored a hat-trick. "We were looking for a second player for Lewandowski, but one who would fill the spaces. We knew that Robert plays high, very narrowly, and we needed a player who runs around," Michniewicz added.

☆ I talked to 70 parents who raised highly successful adults—here's the 'rare' skill they all taught their kids

For my book, "Raising an Entrepreneur," I talked to 70 parents who raised highly successful people. When I asked them what skills they taught their kids at an early age, there was one in particular that they all agreed on: curiosity. As parents, we all want to raise confident, fearless and resilient kids. They encouraged their kids to fix things. Robert's curiosity for how things worked started when he was a young boy, when he unscrewed all the doorknobs in his parents' house.
