Cost of a Thanksgiving meal drops, but it's still expensive in these areas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:58 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — With Thanksgiving just over a week away, you may be rushing to get the ingredients you'll need for the big feast. While we’re still seeing inflation in grocery stores, your meal may not be as expensive as it was last year. Throughout 2022, we were facing an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which led to lower production in the turkey industry. That, coupled with increased demand, kept turkey prices high around Thanksgiving.“Volunteer shoppers” with the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) reported that the average price for a 16-pound bird was $28.96, or about $1.81 per pound, up 21% compared to 2021. That contributed to a record-setting price of $64.05 to serve a feast for 10, the Farm Bureau reported.This year, the Farm Bureau reports the same-sized meal will set you back about $61.17, a 4.5% decrease over last year. While a drop, that price is still 25% higher than the price they projected for a Thanksgiving meal in 2019. There’s a ne...

Bridge: Nov. 15, 2023

“If one of your plants is feeling down, do you photosympathize?” — graffitiAt today’s 6NT, South took dummy’s queen of spades, cashed the A-K of hearts, then led a club: deuce, king, ace. South won the spade return in dummy and tried a diamond to his jack. The finesse worked, and he was home.“I could duck the first club,” West said. “Then declarer must guess whether to finesse in diamonds or try for a second club trick. But for all I knew, he had the queen of diamonds, not the queen of clubs.”Would you have sympathy for West?ACE OF CLUBSI wouldn’t. South surely had at least four diamonds. If his hand were K54,1076,KQ83,K97, he would test the hearts, then try the diamonds. That approach would lose only if East started with four diamonds and the ace of clubs.An expert declarer might possibly lead a club to his king if he lacked the queen; West might duck, and even if he took the ace, he might not return a club. But that was t...

The Gaza Siege: A Harsh Spotlight on the West’s Moral Bankruptcy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:58 GMT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently on CNN, “It’s not only our war, it’s your war too.” He was right: The Biden administration has armed, funded, and supported Netanyahu every step of the way as Israel wages a campaign of terror bombings against Gaza. In five weeks of sustained Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, one in 200 residents of Gaza has been killed. Of the more than 11,000 deaths, 4,600 of them are children. President Joe Biden remains entrenched in his support for the scorched-earth campaign of his “great, great friend” Netanyahu. This week on Intercepted, independent journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Jeremy Scahill discuss the horrors facing the people of Gaza and the history of Biden’s support for some of the most extreme actions of Israel. They discuss the unprecedented killing of journalists in Gaza and the violent campaign being waged by Netanyahu-backed Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. Kouddous also discusses Isra...
