Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman shared a text reportedly sent by accused philanderer Adam Levine to mock his GOP opponent Mehmet Oz. (See it below.) An Instagram model alleged this week that the married Maroon 5 frontman carried on an affair with her. Levine admitted he crossed the line, but denied sexual involvement. Then provocative messages from Levine emerged that were directed at other women. In one of them, Levine purportedly expresses his desire for the woman’s derriere ― and Fetterman converted that into commentary on Oz’s campaign.

I spend hours on FR Daily, and post replies occasionally, but this is my first actual post. What would finally spur me to post a thread, you ask? Well, here we are on the "Eve" of Christmas Eve, in a nicer suburb in Iowa...looking forward to the Holiday. I just went to let the dog out for the final time, and but what to my wondering eyes did appear: at some point in the last hour some piece of human debris destroyed our Christmas display. My husband takes great pride in his little display (he loves Christmas...I just called him...

DUBLIN – A fiercely debated, long-delayed investigation into Ireland's Roman Catholic-run institutions says priests and nuns terrorized thousands of boys and girls in workhouse-style schools for decades — and government inspectors failed to stop the chronic beatings, rapes and humiliation. Nine years in the making, Wednesday's 2,600-page report sides almost completely with the horrific reports of abuse from former students sent to more than 250 church-run, mostly residential institutions. It concluded that church officials always shielded their orders' pedophiles from arrest to protect their own reputations and, according to documents uncovered in the Vatican, knew that many pedophiles were serial...

After months of being taunted by a gang of yobs, grandmother Diane Bond finally stood up to them when she was abused while walking her pet dog. During a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse, the frail 64-year-old prodded the teenager ringleader gently in the stomach when he urged her to "Hit me, if you dare". Moments later, the 5ft 1ins pensioner found herself flat on her back and nursing a broken arm after the 15-year-old boy, who was 7 inches taller, pushed her to the ground. But to add insult to injury, police officers arrested her for assaulting a child after...

Plans made for teacher absences during big immigration protests - An entire school will relocate for a day and classes at other campuses may be combined Monday to cope with teachers calling in sick, school officials said Friday as they prepared for large-scale protests against immigration reform.

Cheshire— With a swish of the curtain and the crank of a lever, 19-year-old Raymond Barnes cast his vote for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry Thursday inside a voting booth at a prison for young offenders. “Bush isn't really living up to doing what he was saying,” Barnes said. “Kerry keeps saying he's going to have a plan. I want to see if he does.” Barnes was one of about 130 juvenile offenders jailed at Manson Youth Institution who participated in a mock election. One by one, the young men in tan jumpsuits lined up to take their turn at...
