Sarah says: ''Fraudulent ads are actually not protected by the first amendment, not everything is protected by the first amendment, even though we have great free speech rights in this country, it's not absolute. The most important thing is that viewers need to be really diligent when they are online, and we need better consumer protections. Facebook is just not a place to be clicking on ads.''

The concept of RAdio Detection and Ranging (Radar) began in the late 1800's and by World War II, radar was in use by militaries around the world, scanning for incoming airplanes. But the use of radar for weather observations occurred by accident. Analysts noted in periods of heavy weather, the radar would return strange signals. Investigation into this phenomenon resulted in the discovery that these echoes were returns from the precipitation, unmasking a further use for the technology.

Some of the funniest jokes begin with situations so ordinary that we barely notice how strange they really are. Cartoonist Jim Benton has built a career around spotting those everyday contradictions and turning them into clever, unexpected punchlines. With his instantly recognizable minimalist style and razor-sharp sense of humor, Benton pokes fun at modern relationships, social media, pets, office life, and the questionable decisions we all make.

CBS News aired part of President Trump's prime-time speech on election fraud Thursday night, joining in late and switching away as the commander-in-chief called for ABC and NBC to lose their licenses for not showing his remarks.

Some of the conspiracies are being deliberately fanned by groups associated with Iran and Russia-countries that Graham, a foreign policy hawk, strongly voiced opposition against. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and right-wing agitator Laura Loomer questioned whether Graham was ''poisoned by a foreign adversary either abroad or upon returning to the US'' in a post on X, calling for an investigation, noting the vagueness of statement from his office saying he died after a ''brief and sudden illness.''
