Donald Trump’s moves after his election victory indicate he may be more efficient and less erratic than he was last time as he stands up his administration.
‘Wicked’ movie dolls sold by Mattel include adult website on packaging
Toy company Mattel has some explaining to do, after dolls created in partnership with the new Universal Pictures movie, “Wicked,” were released in packaging that includes the address for a pornographic website.
The dolls, direct replications of the actors who star in the movie, are special edition items released ahead of the movie’s premiere on November 22.
Fox News Digital can confirm that the address for a website other than the film’s current website, wickedmovie.com. is printed on the back of the packaging for more than one toy.
The web address found on the back of the doll box directs to a page that requires people to be 18 years or older to enter. The dolls, being sold at retailers like Target, Kohls and Amazon, advertise that the toy is acceptable for children over the age of four, but is a choking hazard for those under 3 years of age.

Other “Wicked” inspired toys, manufactured by Lego and Funko, do not include the adult site’s address.
Users on social media were horrified by the gaffe, writing posts on X including, “Thats an insane oversight, someone getting fired lol,” and, “whoever did this needs to be fired immediately cuz why would they do that knowing that it’s mostly kids buying these dolls.”

Former Obama speechwriter says Biden’s decision to run again was a ‘catastrophic’ mistake
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau said Friday on the “Pod Save America” podcast that President Biden’s decision to run again was a “catastrophic mistake,” and took aim at the Biden-Harris campaign’s messaging throughout the race.
“Joe Biden’s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake. It just was. He and his inner circle, they refused to believe the polls, they refused to believe he was unpopular, they refused to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation,” Favreau said during the podcast.
Favreau discussed the results of the election with his fellow “Pod Save America” hosts and explained that Biden repeatedly touted a historically strong economy as the candidate and added, “clearly, 70, 80% of voters don’t believe that.”
“And then after the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine, and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters at the time that Kamala Harris couldn’t win. So they were shivving Kamala Harris to reporters while they told everyone else, ‘not a time for an open process,’” Favreau continued.

Favreau also pointed to the Biden campaign’s internal polling numbers.
“Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes,” Favreau added.
The president repeatedly dismissed polls showing he was trailing President-elect Donald Trump throughout the race. Prior to dropping out the race and following a rough debate performance, the president told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that pollsters told him the race was neck-and-neck.
“All pollsters I talk to tell me it’s a toss-up. And when I’m behind… there’s only one poll I’m really far behind, CBS poll and NBC, I mean, excuse me,” Biden said at the time.

Tommy Vietor, a co-host of “Pod Save America” pointed to polling that showed voters thought Biden was too old for a second term ahead of the debate, and shared several moments where the president fell short while campaigning for Harris.
Dan Pfeiffer, another co-host of their podcast, argued that Biden would have done worse in the election than Harris did.
Map: 5.9-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Near Cuba
Note: Map shows the area with a shake intensity of 4 or greater, which U.S.G.S. defines as “light,” though the earthquake may be felt outside the areas shown. The New York Times
A moderately strong, 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck in the Caribbean Sea near Cuba on Sunday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 10:50 a.m. Cuba time about 22 miles south of Bartolomé Masó, Cuba, data from the agency shows.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
Aftershocks in the region
An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are typically minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.
Quakes and aftershocks within 100 miles
Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.
Source: United States Geological Survey | Notes: Shaking categories are based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Cuba time. Shake data is as of Sunday, Nov. 10 at 11:05 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Sunday, Nov. 10 at 12:20 p.m. Eastern.
‘Saturday Night Live’ cast jokingly ask Trump to keep them off his ‘enemies list’ : NPR
Saturday Night Life mocks Donald Trump by creating a new flattering ‘hot, jacked, Trump’ character as a show of support on YouTube, 9 November

The cast of Saturday Night Live sarcastically pledged their allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump and jokingly touted their support for him and his billionaire backer Elon Musk in their first episode since Trump’s re-election this week.
During the show’s cold open, cast members, including Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner, somberly spoke of the election results, calling them “shocking and even horrifying”.
“Donald Trump, who tried to forcibly overturn the results of the last election, was returned to office by an overwhelming majority. This is the same Donald Trump who openly called for vengeance against his political enemies,” the cast said. “And now, thanks to the Supreme Court, there are no guardrails. Nothing to protect the people who are brave enough to speak out against him.”
Then, the mood took a sarcastic turn when the cast said, “And that is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along. We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you.”
Colin Jost, co-anchor of SNL’s “Weekend Update,” teased his co-anchor, Michael Che, saying Che was from the “lamestream media”, and joking he had tried to spin their news updates to make Trump look “foolish.”
“So, if you’re keeping some sort of list of your enemies, then we should not be on that list. And it’s c-h-e. Che,” Jost joked.
The comedy show’s joking attempt to get on Trump’s good side comes as the president-elect prepares to return to the White House and has vowed to punish his perceived enemies.
Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise trip to New York City to appear on Saturday Night Live, in the hope of boosting her chances in this week’s election. But Harris resoundingly lost, winning 226 electoral college votes to Trump’s 312.
Multiple people have impersonated Trump since 1988 on SNL, from his days as a businessman to his first presidency, when actor Alec Baldwin famously played Trump. Trump was a host on the show in 2015 but has frequently railed against the show, calling for the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission to “look into” the show’s coverage of him in 2019.
The show also debuted an impression of Elon Musk by Dana Carvey and “Hot Jacked Trump”, portrayed by James Austin Johnson wearing a red bandana and flexing fake muscles, who said, “they finally got the body right.”
“From now on, we’re going to do [a] very flattering portrayal of Trump,” Johnson said. “Because he’s frankly my hero and he’s going to make an incredible president and eventually King. We love you, buddy.”

Golden’s remarks came a day after the Independent Florida Alligator reported the school opened up an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, stalking and cyberstalking multiple women, including students, against him.
The newspaper reported that Golden faces claims of unwanted sexual advances on Instagram, requesting sexual favors and sending photos and videos of his genitalia. The newspaper cited a Title IX complaint made on Sept. 29.
Golden, 39, signed a two-year contract extension in March that included a $1 million raise and brought his annual salary to $4 million.

Oregon football head coach Dan Lanning has the Ducks at 10-0 following the team’s 39-18 victory over Maryland on Saturday.

“I believe it was last year you spoke out about gun violence,” the reporter started. “There was a decision made in this country that I’m sure affects a lot of players in your locker room as well as the women in your life and the women on your staff.
“What was sort of the temperature in the locker room or with your team as a whole after the results were in, and was that something that sparked one of those ‘get real’ conversations?”
Lanning gave a very patriotic answer.

“Our guys just work. Obviously, gun violence is something that I’ve been passionate about, but our guys just line up and go to work every single day,” Lanning said.
“I’m glad to be in the country we’re in, certainly proud to be an American, and excited about the future of this country, but I’m not one to hop into politics.”
Harris carried the eight electoral votes in Oregon as Trump wrapped up the usual red states and carried Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada on his way to 312 electoral votes. Harris had 55.26% of the vote in the Emerald State.
