Some residents of the suburban Fort Lauderdale neighborhood found the geese to be loud pooping machines, while others saw them as majestic, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The homeowners association then decided to hire the pest company to remove 25 geese. Rolando Calzadilla, the company’s owner, said he gave the geese bread laced with sedatives, but a loud car startled the birds, causing them to fly off. While Calzadilla was able to recover 15 of the birds and euthanize them elsewhere, ten fell into the lake nearby and drowned....

“Is there anything – I’m trying to think, because the idea – I don’t think people should clutch their pearls over it,” Shillue said Friday. “But the idea you should bring attention to it because all people seem to talk about is Donald Trump and his lack of decorum. Has he ever done anything in the ballpark of ripping up a speech like that on TV? I’m trying to think of the worst thing Trump has ever done, including the tape of him from NBC....

Former New York prosecutor Pirro also said that undocumented immigrants might also “kill a few Americans.” “Who do these Democrats think they are?” Pirro asked. “They are so transparently transparent. All they’re interested in is not you, the American people, not blue collar successes. ‘We want power.’” “‘So we’re going let the illegals in,’” Pirro continued. “‘And, you know, if they kill a few Americans, you know, you’ll deal with it....

2020 presidential candidate former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke received resounding applause during the third Democratic debate in Houston on Thursday evening when he vowed to confiscate semi automatic AR-15 rifles. “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We’re not going to allow it to be used against fellow Americans anymore,” O’Rourke said, doubling down on his proposal to ban assault weapons and enforce a mandatory buyback policy....

Levin made the remarks on the Wednesday edition of his show LevinTV, which streams on conservative platform BlazeTV. He claimed that Trump was a man of “peace” while stressing that an easy victory would be the outcome of a war with Iran, due in part to the teachings of Bush. “The Iranians have been at war with us for over four decades,” Levin claimed. “But if we wanted to go to war, we know how to go to war....

“He has a huge following,” Earhardt said on Monday morning. “So many people are being saved because of him.” On Sunday, West spoke at the Houston church about his faith-based upbringing, how he refocused his life on God, and his newest album Jesus Is King. West told attendees and those who tuned in for the video feed that it seemed as if the Devil stole the good musicians, artists, designers and business people, but that there was a “trend shift” toward God and “Jesus has won the victory....

During his campaign rally in Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday night, Trump claimed that people want to change the name of Thanksgiving. Trump’s claim came after Fox News aired segments discussing a “war on Thanksgiving.” The show aired a clip of Trump saying, “as we gather together for Thanksgiving, you know some people want to change the name Thanksgiving, they don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving and that was true also with Christmas but now everybody’s using Christmas again....

The hosts of the Fox News morning show, Ainsley Earhardt, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade remarked that the House Judiciary Committee report released over the weekend was just more proof that the hearings were based on the false hope of removing the president from office. The report explained the constitutional rationale behind impeaching Trump. “Well, the reason they worked over the weekend is because they did rehearsals on Saturday and Sunday,” Doocy said....

Fox & Friends co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy touted their own role in relaying impeachment hearing information to the American public, despite citing a Media Research Center report that 95 percent of the country did not watch last week’s inquiry testimonies. Although aggressively hyping Tuesday’s impeachment inquiry witnesses in the Trump-Ukraine scandal, the Fox News morning crew questioned why Americans should even want to watch programming which several of their guests labeled a “sham” and “boring....

In a memo to staffers on Sunday, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said the three former associates include “consultants who served as local producers, translators, drivers and security guards” for the channel throughout its nearly two decades covering the war in Afghanistan.

Including the Afghans’ family members, Fox News evacuated 24 people, the memo read....

In the interview conducted as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry, Perry implied that Trump is imperfect and that is fine. “God’s used imperfect people all through history,” Perry said, naming several Biblical figures. “King David wasn’t perfect, Saul wasn’t perfect, Solomon wasn’t perfect.” Perry added that he gave Trump “a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings” about month ago. “I shared it with him and said, ‘Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the chosen one and I said, ‘You were,’” Perry remarked....

Les Bleus’ build up to Qatar 2022 was dominated by a host of injury withdrawals, with 2018 heroes N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba both sidelined, alongside 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema on the eve of the tournament. However, Didier Deschamps’ charges have shown the resilience needed from defending champions so far, with Kylian Mbappe staking his claim for the Golden Boot. A major test lies ahead for France if they want to retain their title from Russia 2018 — and the 1-0 defeat to Tunisia on matchday three will be a concern, albeit they rested a host of regular first-team stars — but they showed their class to beat Poland in the Round of 16, England in the quarterfinals, and a determined Morocco team in the semifinals....

Kaminsky was described as “very frustrated” with the situation. POWER RANKINGS: Where do Hornets land? Kaminsky is averaging just 5.2 points in 26 games this season, playing 10.8 minutes per contest. He has appeared in only seven of Charlotte’s last 27 games, amounting to a total of just over 50 minutes in the last two months.

“The amount of people out here (this week) — 50,000 people is crazy; crazy good," Couples told Omnisport during Saturday’s Ryder Cup matches. “When I played in the late 80s and early 90s, they did some silly things like it was us against them and it was never like that. “But we won and the fans were frenzied. When I teed off there was a grand stand behind the tee box, and now they build things for 50,000 people and there’s singing and dancing....

According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Twins have had talks with Arroyo’s agent and are examining Arroyo’s medical records before entering negotiations.

For teams looking to upgrade behind the plate this offseason, free agency is decidedly not the way to go. There is exactly one bona fide major league starter on the market, and as a result, Russell Martin is going to become a very wealthy man, not that he isn’t already. He’s just going to be wealthier. He’s earned that with his play for the Pirates the last two seasons, but there’s also the caveat that he will be 32 on opening day, which means that a long-term contract could prove risky....
