Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty When speculation about their sexuality first began swirling publicly, Gayle King admits she desperately wanted Oprah to shut down the rumors surrounding their decades-long relationship once and for all, but her mega-mogul bestie refused. The TV personality and broadcast journalist sat down for a conversation with Alex Cooper on Wednesday’s episode of her podcast, Call Her Daddy. During the episode, King admitted that speculation about the nature of her relationship with Winfrey “used to really bother” her. Unfortunately for her, Oprah didn’t have the same concerns, choosing not to address them. “I would say to her, ‘You’ve got to say something on your show, because it’s hard enough for me to get a date on a Saturday night and now people think I’m a lesbian, you’ve gotta say something,’” Gayle recalled.

Store-bought breakfast bars often promise quick mornings but leave behind extra sugar, short-lasting energy, and little resemblance to real breakfast. That started pushing more home cooks toward baked oatmeal recipes that feel closer to comfort food while still working for busy weekday mornings.

Source: UCG / Getty A lot of people, white liberals mostly, seem to be of the opinion that America is the way it is right now because President Donald Trump is president. I’m pretty sure Trump is president because America is the way it is. The racism, xenophobia, sexism, general bigotry and rampant anti-intellectualism aren’t new phenomena in the U.S. — we just aren’t used to seeing it all validated on a daily, maybe hourly basis in virtually every speech, interview and social media post authored by a sitting president. There used to be a standard of decorum. There used to be an expectation of poise and civility. There used to be a quiet part. Now, it’s all loud, proud and explicit white nationalism and endless buffoonery. And right now, the entire Somali ethnicity is taking the brunt of it. On Wednesday, during a White House Cabinet meeting, Trump declared that “Somalians” in Minnesota are all “crooks.” “They’re all crooks, the Somalians,” Trump said, because America’s racist grandpa either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that natives of Somalia are referred to as Somalis (It’s both. He both doesn’t know and doesn’t care. “What they’ve done to Minnesota, the Somalians, they’re crooked as hell.” Trump, of course, is referring to the Minnesota fraud scandal that he and his MAGA cultists just discovered in 2025, despite the fact that it has been investigated since 2021, and the fact that several dozen people had already been arrested, tried and convicted of crimes related to the scandal by the time Trump and MAGA influencer Nick Shirley turned it into national “news.” Mind you, the mastermind of the whole thing was a white American woman, Aimee Bock, who was sentenced to nearly 42 years in prison just last week. Also, as I noted when Trump generalized Somalis in Minnesota as “pirates” during his State of the Union address in February, roughly 80 people of Somali descent in Minnesota were charged with crimes related to fraud. Roughly 107,000 Somalis reside in the state. To be fair, that speech might have been the first and only time he referred to Somalis as Somalis. (So, I stand corrected. He knows; he just doesn’t care.) “When it comes to the corruption that is plundering — really, it’s plundering America — there’s been no more stunning example than Minnesota, where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer,” Trump claimed. Then, of course, there’s the fact that, as Truth Out correctly noted, “Trump has pardoned dozens of individuals convicted of financial crimes and public corruption, including granting clemency last year to an individual who was found guilty of pilfering over $200 million in funds from Medicare.” (Point of note: the Minnesota scandal defrauded the federal government of roughly $250 million, $243 million of which Bock has been ordered to pay back. So, yeah, during his SOTU address, he was inflating the total sum of the fraud by about $18.75 billion.) Then, of course, Trump had to include Rep. Ilhan Omar in his Klan-coded nonsense. “They’re all crooks, the Somalians,” he said. “What they’ve done to Minnesota, the Somalians, they’re crooked as hell.” The fact is, Trump has had special contempt for the Somali community both in and outside of the Twin Cities region since nearly the start of his second term. Here he is calling Minnesota “very Somalia-oriented” and Somalis “low-IQ” for no discernible reason whatsoever. Here he is responding to questions about the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., last year by randomly bashing Somali refugees in Minnesota, despite the fact that they had nothing to do with the shooting, which he admitted when asked what they had to do with anything by a reporter by responding, “Ah, nothing, but Somalians have caused a lot of trouble, they’re ripping us off a lot of money.” Here he is on Fox News, claiming Omar, a whole-ass congresswoman, that she has no right to criticize his policies simply because she happened to be born in Somalia. It’s also worth mentioning that a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from targeting Somalis who are in the U.S. legally in January of this year. Of course, that kind of Trump attack isn’t unique to Somalis, as judges also blocked the president from doing the same to documented Sudanese and Haitian migrants in January and February, respectively. Still, with all the hate he has in his heart for all immigrants — who are not white non-victims of a fictional “white genocide” in South Africa — he still seems to circle back to the Somali community almost reflexively as of late. They haven’t done anything to him, but somehow they became the default focus of his constant white supremacist bloviating. I know they must be tired — as are we all.

The story of Joshua appears to come from another world entirely. Its landscape is marked by wandering tribes, fortified cities, and constant uncertainty. Yet beneath those ancient details lies something deeply familiar. Joshua is less a story about conquest than about learning how to move forward when fear and the unknown collide. Mortality does not unfold as a straight line leading to exaltation. Each of us will someday face our own crossing of the Jordan. The challenge may arrive through debilitating illness, loneliness, or discouragement. It may come when someone we love is drifting spiritually and we realize, slowly and with great sorrow, faith cannot be forced into another human soul. In those moments we stand exactly where Israel stood, on a bank offering safety, staring at water offering no guarantees. The most compelling moment in the Joshua story comes before the river crossing, not after it. While the Israelites stand safely on the bank, the waters remain unchanged. Nothing about the Jordan suggests it will accommodate them. There is no parting visible on the horizon, no obvious invitation to proceed. Then the priests step forward into the river before the miracle occurs. They do not wait for the water to retreat. They move toward it. Only after they turn faith into action does the path open before them. This pattern appears throughout scripture with enough consistency to suggest a divine teaching method. Noah built the ark long before rain appeared on any horizon. Nephi began working on the ship without knowing precisely how it would finally come together, trusting each problem would yield to each day’s effort. The brother of Jared took sixteen small stones into the darkness of a mountain before light touched them. In each case, the miracle followed the movement. The obedience preceded the opening. In time, every crossing demands we step in before the water parts. Today life tells us to wait for certainty. We are surrounded by tools designed to reduce uncertainty, and we have grown to expect answers before we commit. We crave reassurance. We want to see the other bank clearly before we wade into the unfamiliar. But faith, in its truest form, requires the courage to proceed before every question is answered and every risk removed. A young missionary opening his call packet may suddenly find the ground shifting beneath him. The destination is unfamiliar. The people waiting there remain strangers. The language, the culture, the daily rhythm of a mission remain invisible to him in the moment. After the initial excitement fades, questions surface without any immediate answers. Somewhere inside such uncertainty rests an invitation identical to the one the priests received on the bank of the Jordan. Step in. Move before the water moves. Trust what is needed will be given as it is needed, not before. The battle for Jericho introduces another difficult truth. God’s instructions do not always make sense. Marching around fortified walls for seven days while armed soldiers watch from above hardly resembles military strategy. It would have looked foolish from the outside. It may have seemed foolish from the inside. But faith requires obedience before reason becomes clear, as it did generations later when Naaman came seeking healing from Elisha. Naaman arrived in Israel as a man accustomed to being taken seriously. He was a military commander of stature and reputation, but he was plagued with leprosy. He expected Elisha to meet him personally, to make some dramatic gesture, to match the gravity of his condition with a response of equal gravity. Instead he received a message through a servant—wash in the Jordan seven times. The instruction offended him. It appeared too ordinary, too undignified, too small for a man of his suffering. He had to be persuaded even to try. When he finally humbled himself and waded into Jordan’s water seven times, his skin was restored. As with the priests at the Jordan, humility and obedience preceded the miracle. Part of mortality is learning how to rise again after we have stumbled. Spiritual decline can begin when immediate concerns push sacred things away, not out of rebellion but out of demanding responsibilities, discouragement, or fatigue. When compromises settle into accepted conduct, they can become difficult to separate from identity. Guilt accumulates. The gap separating who we are from who we meant to become can look permanent. But Joshua taught Israel failure is not final. When the people stumbled in the days after Jericho, it was not the end of their story. Repentance and humility opened the way forward again. The Jordan did not close behind them permanently. A path forward remains open to us as well, not because our failures are small, but because the Atonement is larger than our failures. We are invited to step in again, to move again, even when we have stood frozen on the bank far longer than we intended. Near the end of his life, Joshua gathered all Israel and issued an uncompromising challenge—Choose you this day whom ye will serve. It was not a gentle suggestion. It was a command framed as a question. The crossing, the battles, the stumbling, the rising again, all of it was preparation for this single moment of reckoning. We too must decide whom we will serve, not once, but again and again, at each new bank, before each new river, one step at a time into water still waiting to part.

Die mobile Version bietet nahezu den vollen Funktionsumfang der Desktop-Version, inklusive Ein- und Auszahlungen sowie Live-Chat-Support.

Der Cashback wird automatisch jeden Montag gutgeschrieben, ohne dass eine Aktivierung erforderlich ist. Auch saisonale Aktionen zu Feiertagen oder Sportereignissen sind regelmäßig Bestandteil des Programms. Payment Methods and Transaction Speed Millionaire Casino unterstützt eine breite Palette an Zahlungsmethoden, die sowohl traditionelle als auch moderne Optionen abdeckt. Von Kreditkarten über E-Wallets bis hin zu Kryptowährungen ist alles dabei. Die Bearbeitungszeiten variieren je nach Methode: E-Wallets sind in der Regel innerhalb von 24 Stunden abgeschlossen, während Banküberweisungen 3–5 Werktage dauern können. Die folgende Tabelle gibt einen detaillierten Überblick über die gängigsten Zahlungsmethoden: Methode Einzahlungszeit Auszahlungszeit Gebühren Visa/Mastercard Sofort 1–3 Tage Keine Skrill Sofort 24 Stunden Keine Neteller Sofort 24 Stunden Keine Bitcoin Sofort 24 Stunden Keine Banküberweisung 1–2 Tage 3–5 Tage Keine Deposit and Withdrawal Limits Die Ein- und Auszahlungslimits sind klar definiert und variieren je nach Spielerstatus.

Pro Monat können bis zu 20.000 € ausgezahlt werden, bei VIPs bis zu 50.000 €. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass Auszahlungen an die verwendete Einzahlungsmethode gebunden sind: Beträge, die mit einer Kreditkarte eingezahlt wurden, müssen auch auf diese zurücküberwiesen werden, sofern technisch möglich. Dies dient der Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche und ist branchenüblich. Der Verifizierungsprozess (KYC) muss vor der ersten Auszahlung abgeschlossen sein, was in der Regel 24–48 Stunden dauert. Security Measures and Licensing Information Millionaire Casino betreibt sein Geschäft unter einer Lizenz der Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) sowie der UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). Diese beiden Aufsichtsbehörden gelten als die strengsten in der Branche und stellen sicher, dass die Plattform regelmäßig auf Fairness und Sicherheit geprüft wird. Die Zufallszahlengeneratoren (RNG) werden von unabhängigen Prüfstellen wie eCOGRA und iTech Labs zertifiziert. Die SSL-Verschlüsselung (256-Bit) schützt alle sensiblen Daten der Spieler, von persönlichen Informationen bis hin zu Finanztransaktionen. Zudem ist die Webseite durch eine Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung (2FA) gesichert, die optional aktiviert werden kann. Die Datenschutzrichtlinien entsprechen der DSGVO, was insbesondere für Spieler aus der EU beruhigend ist. Customer Support Quality and Availability Der Kundensupport bei Millionaire Casino ist rund um die Uhr per Live-Chat und E-Mail erreichbar. Der Live-Chat ist die schnellste Option: Die durchschnittliche Antwortzeit beträgt weniger als 30 Sekunden, und die Mitarbeiter sind höflich und kompetent. Der E-Mail-Support antwortet in der Regel innerhalb von 2–4 Stunden, auch am Wochenende. Ein umfangreiches FAQ-Archiv ist ebenfalls vorhanden, das die häufigsten Fragen zu Einzahlungen, Boni und technischen Problemen abdeckt. Leider fehlt eine Telefonhotline, was für manche Spieler ein Nachteil sein könnte. Die Support-Sprache ist standardmäßig Deutsch, aber auch Englisch wird angeboten. Die Mitarbeiter haben Zugriff auf die Spielhistorie, sodass sie bei Problemen schnell Lösungen anbieten können. Responsible Gaming Features Millionaire Casino nimmt das Thema Spielsucht ernst und bietet eine Reihe von Instrumenten zum Schutz der Spieler. Dazu gehören Einzahlungslimits (täglich, wöchentlich, monatlich), Verlustlimits, Selbstausschluss (für 24 Stunden, 7 Tage, 30 Tage oder dauerhaft) sowie eine Reality-Check-Funktion, die in regelmäßigen Abständen an die Spieldauer erinnert. Die Plattform ist Mitglied von Organisationen wie GamCare und Gambling Therapy und bietet direkte Links zu Beratungsstellen. Zudem werden Spieler, die auffälliges Verhalten zeigen (z. B. plötzlich hohe Einsätze), automatisch von einem Algorithmus identifiziert und erhalten eine Nachricht mit Hilfsangeboten. Diese Maßnahmen zeigen, dass das Casino nicht nur auf Profit, sondern auch auf soziale Verantwortung bedacht ist. Comparison with Other Online Casinos Im Vergleich zu Konkurrenten wie LeoVegas oder 888 Casino schneidet Millionaire Casino in puncto Spielauswahl und Live-Casino-Angebot sehr gut ab. Die Anzahl der Spiele ist mit über 2.000 Titeln vergleichbar, aber die Integration von Kryptowährungen als Zahlungsmittel ist ein klarer Pluspunkt gegenüber vielen traditionellen Anbietern. Die Bonusbedingungen sind mit 35x Umsatz durchschnittlich, aber nicht herausragend. Ein Schwachpunkt ist die fehlende Telefonhotline, die bei anderen Casinos wie Betway oder William Hill Standard ist. Dafür punktet Millionaire Casino mit einem durchdachten Treueprogramm und schnellen Auszahlungen bei E-Wallets. Die mobile Optimierung ist ebenfalls auf einem hohen Niveau, vergleichbar mit Marktführern wie Casumo. Pros and Cons of Millionaire Casino Um eine ausgewogene Bewertung abzugeben, haben wir die wichtigsten Vor- und Nachteile zusammengefasst: Pro: Riesige Spielauswahl mit über 2.000 Titeln. Pro: Hervorragendes Live-Casino mit deutschen Dealern. Pro: Schnelle Auszahlungen bei E-Wallets und Kryptowährungen. Pro: Starke Sicherheitsmaßnahmen (MGA-Lizenz, SSL, 2FA). Contra: Keine Telefonhotline für den Kundensupport. Contra: Umsatzbedingungen für Boni könnten niedriger sein. Final Verdict and Recommendation Millionaire Casino bietet ein rundum solides Online-Casino-Erlebnis, das besonders durch die Vielfalt an Spielen und die Qualität des Live-Casinos überzeugt. Die Sicherheitsstandards sind vorbildlich, und die Zahlungsmethoden decken moderne Bedürfnisse ab, inklusive Kryptowährungen. Das Treueprogramm belohnt regelmäßige Spieler angemessen, und die verantwortungsvollen Spielinstrumente sind umfassend. Für Spieler, die Wert auf eine große Auswahl, schnelle Auszahlungen und ein authentisches Live-Casino legen, ist Millionaire Casino eine klare Empfehlung. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist der fehlende Telefon-Support, aber der Live-Chat ist eine schnelle Alternative. Wir vergeben 4,5 von 5 Sternen – ein echtes Top-Casino mit Potenzial, noch besser zu werden. The post Live Casino Experience at Millionaire Casino appeared first on HOPEFORTHESOLD.

Source: DIMITAR DILKOFF / Getty Coco Gauff is currently running through the competition at the French Open, and she’s not letting a series of unfortunate events stop her motion. Ahead of her first-round match against Taylor Townsend, while en route to the venue, Gauff explained that she was in a car accident. She claims it was minor, but the damage to the car says otherwise. “We got in a mini car accident on my way to the site today,” Gauff said while laughing. “We ran into a pole. You felt a little impact. I spilled my juice all over the car.” She said she described the situation as a movable pylon pole, and despite the cops telling them to keep driving, they eventually hit it. Gauff thought it was a fender bender at first, but after getting out and determining the car wasn’t drivable, they called a car to take them to another spot, where the tournament’s car service then picked them up. That was only the beginning of a rough string of events, as a near-wardrobe malfunction was next. “Right before I went onto court, my dress got stuck, so my physio was in the bathroom trying to help me take it off,” she said. “It was an eventful day. But I feel like whenever that happens, it lets you not think about the match too much. I’m just happy to be here in one piece.” She ended the interview by saying the bad luck may have been a “good omen,” because Gauff had no choice but to persevere through it, because after all, she’s the reigning French Open champion. With the car accident and the outfit snafu in the past, she got back to business and defeated fellow American Taylor Townsend quickly and easily in straight sets (6-4, 6-0). She followed that up with a dominant second-round win over Egypt’s Mayar Sherif, also in two sets (6-3,6-2). But the match did come with its own challenge, like the extreme heat (which led to a spectator passing out), and even after the match, Gauff called her a “bit underrated.” But now she’s on to the next round to play Austria’s Anastasia Potapova, on her quest to repeat as the French Open champion after defeating the No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka last year. See social media’s reaction to Gauff’s dominance in the French Open so far below.

Feb 7, 2026; Ames, Iowa, USA; Baylor Bears guard Tounde Yessoufou (24) shoots over Iowa State Cyclones forward Milan Momcilovic (22) during the second half at James H. Hilton Coliseum. Mandatory Credit: Reese Strickland-Imagn Images | Reese Strickland-Imagn Images Wednesday, May 27th was the deadline for college players to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to school. Several big names who had been floated as potential options for the Dallas Mavericks, especially with picks 30 and 48. With everyone’s decisions now made, let’s run through the list of important guys who are staying and going. Back to school Amari Allen (F, Alabama) This is not a surprise, although Allen would’ve very likely been a first-round player. Back to Alabama he goes, where he’ll have an elevated role and a chance to work on improving even further. Tounde Yessoufou (G/F, Baylor) Yessoufou was one of those who declared for the draft while also entering the transfer portal. Last year a Baylor Bear, after withdrawing from the draft he will be playing at Madison Square Garden… for the Johnnies. This is a player I would’ve taken at 30 for Dallas. Milan Momcilovic (F, Iowa State) After entering the draft, Momcilovic is also returning to school, where he will apparently be making upwards of $5 million next year. Can’t say I blame him, but losing a 49% three point shooter from this class is a bit disappointing. Billy Richmond (F, Arkansas) UPDATE: Billy Richmond has just switched course and will return to Arkansas next season, per his agent Bill Duffy of WME. https://t.co/nLhxOxGIuv— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) May 27, 2026 After initially staying in the class, Richmond’s reversal of course sends him back to Fayetteville. Tyler Tanner (G, Vanderbilt) One of my absolute favorites, Tanner will return to Vanderbilt as a preseason All-American and one of the five best players in the SEC. While it is a bummer he is no longer in the class, he will be a joy to watch in college one more time. To the league Allen Graves (F, Santa Clara) Graves was an interesting case, as his draft range could be awfully wide. However, instead of taking a large NIL bag from LSU or Duke, the Santa Clara product will head to the NBA as a likely top 25 pick. Read our draft profile of Allen Graves here. Christian Anderson Jr. (G, Texas Tech) There were rumblings that Anderson might enter the portal earlier this offseason, but once that didn’t happen it was pretty clear that he was headed for the NBA. He will likely be a top 25 selection as well. Koa Peat (F, Arizona) I talked to 10 NBA executives and got their takes on what these guys should do: Christian Anderson: 10 (go to NBA), 0 (back to college)Meleek Thomas: 9 (NBA), 1 (college)Allen Graves: 8 (NBA), 2 (college)Tounde Yessoufou: 5 (NBA), 5 (college)Koa Peat: 7 (college), 3 (NBA)…— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) May 22, 2026 This was an interesting case, as most NBA executives polled by the Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman said Peat should return to school. Alas, he stays in the class. Meleek Thomas (G, Arkansas) While no official announcement was made, ESPN’s Johnathon Givonny reported on Thursday that Thomas is indeed keeping his name in the draft. He is a likely first round pick, and depending on where Dallas goes at pick nine, he’s very much in play for them in the late first. What’s next It’s officially workout season for these prospects. As reports surface on who the Mavericks are bringing in, we’ll keep you posted right here at Mavs Moneyball.

Anadolu / Zohran Mamdani NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is taking a page out of Elon Musk’s book, but instead, using his power to help New York City’s citizens. The socialist mayor announced he is launching a city Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) to “find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people.” If it sounds familiar, that’s because it’s similar to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which the Tesla chief launched in 2025 after Trump unfortunately got back into the White House. But that’s where the similarities stop: COGE actually wants to help people, whereas Musk’s DOGE didn’t do a damn thing to make the government more efficient or cut waste. According to Yahoo! News, Mamdani’s COGE will feature a group of progressives and Democrats, and, per FOX News reporting, will be led by George Soros-aligned Patrick Gaspard, described as a longtime Democratic operative who once served as executive director of the Democratic National Committee. Gaspard was also president of the Soros family’s Open Society Foundation. Speaking about COGE, Mamdani said that “New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.” In a statement from New York City, it claims that Mayor Mamdani gave COGE the responsibility of reviewing the “entire New York City Charter” so that it could “better support public excellence by improving efficiency, modernizing city government, and ensuring government keeps pace with New Yorkers’ needs.” According to the statement, COGE will be expected to remove “outdated bureaucratic barriers that slow infrastructure projects and delay services.” Mamdani further added, “For too long, bureaucracy has stood in the way of delivering the housing, transit, child care, and public services our city needs.” He continued, “restoring faith in government starts with proving government can actually deliver.” Of course, the MAGA faithful are losing it. Trump Glazer, podcaster Benny Johnson wrote on X (formerly Twitter): Zohran Mamdani — avowed socialist, property redistributor, DSA member — just launched a ‘government efficiency’ commission. He literally named it COGE. COGE. He copied DOGE. The man who has spent his entire career demonizing Trump just adopted Trump’s signature policy idea to cut waste, fraud and abuse. He won’t say the quiet part out loud. But we will. Trump was right. Well, we all know neither Trump nor Musk was right; in fact, we are suffering from many of the cuts made by DOGE.
