As Trump Mulls His FEMA Pick, A Political Land Mine Awaits In FloridaFans were devastated when fan favorite Sam McCall was killed last month. General Hospital actress, Kelly Monaco, was suddenly fired from the show , leading to a social media outrage. Her firing led to the death of her character, Sam, who died after donating part of her liver to Lulu. She died from a cardiac arrest and doctors believed it might have to do with a medication that she took as part of her recovery. But it now appears that foul play might be involved. General Hospital fans slam Kristina as 'cruel and vindictive' in this encounter with her sister Molly General Hospital fans are predicting that Gio could be the love child of these two characters On Monday's episode, Dex confronted Cyrus, who promised "hand to god" that he wasn't visiting Lulu on Halloween, coincidentally the day Sam died. Cyrus claimed to be a changed man who turned to religion to repent for his past. After Lulu woke up from her coma and saw Cyrus, she fled the hospital. Cyrus was the one who orchestrated the explosion which left Lulu in a coma. At the very end of Monday's episode, Cyrus had a flashback where he walked into a hospital room and put the medication Digitalis into an IV bag attached to a patient. It was then revealed Sam was hooked up to the IV and Cyrus gently caressed her head before the episode ended. Fans on social media were quick to react to the reveal. One fan on X, formally known as Twitter, was excited for the new villain arc. "I am glad that Cyrus is back to being a villain. We need good villains on the show because not everybody needs to be or meant to be redeemed. #GH," they wrote. Though some fans weren't happy. "It’s still stupid and makes no sense story-wise- Lulu wasn’t even awake and Sam’s donation SAVED his niece," another said, "Why? Not saying Cyrus was ever a 'good' guy- but this seemed forced. Then again- everything does on #GH." "It makes no sense. Not even as a twisted way to help Lulu get Dante back since no one knew Lulu would wake up," a fan wrote on Reddit. While a second fan exclaimed: "AIN'T NO WAY THAT'S HOW SAM WENT OUT." Another Reddit user theorized: "Cyrus was just getting back at the Spencer family for when Carly kidnapped his mom from the nursing home."

Authorities have called off the search for a 51-year-old man who went overboard Thursday on a Norwegian Cruise Line vessel. The man, who was traveling with his family, went over the side around 3 p.m. while the ship was sailing from Ocho Rios, Jamaica to Nassau, Bahamas, the cruise line said in a statement to USA TODAY. A rescue operation took place but was ultimately called off so the ship could continue its voyage. "The guest was traveling with a large group and his family on board is being attended to and supported during this very challenging situation," a spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.” Man goes overboard on Norwegian Epic The vessel that the man and his family were traveling aboard was a Norwegian Epic cruise ship, a voyage known for its onboard performances, activities and pampering experiences . The Norwegian Epic is in the midst of a seven-night Western Caribbean voyage after departing Saturday from Canaveral, Florida, according to Cruise Hive , a cruise industry blog. After cruise officials learned that the man had gone over the side, authorities were notified and a search began under the guidance of the Bahamas Rescue Coordination Center, the cruise line told USA TODAY. Many passengers assisted in the search and shared updates on social media as onboard announcements indicated that the individual was wearing a blue shirt. Holland America Line’s Zuiderdam, which was nearby, also joined in the search, Cruise Hive reported. "After an extensive search that was unfortunately unsuccessful, the ship was released by the authorities," the Norwegian Cruise Line spokesperson said in a statement. It was not immediately clear what caused the man to go overboard. The man has not been identified. Eric Lagatta covers breaking and trending news for USA TODAY.

Tributes were paid to the former Scottish first minister, who died suddenly in North Macedonia in October at the age of 69. A private family funeral has already taken place, with Saturday’s memorial service in Edinburgh held to celebrate his love of Scotland and his commitment to the cause of independence. But while some 500 people, including family, friends and politicians from across the spectrum attended the service at St Giles’ Cathedral, his successor Nicola Sturgeon was not present. A rift between her and Mr Salmond – who she had previously described as her mentor – developed during her term as SNP leader. Ms Sturgeon attended the funeral of Scottish comedian Janey Godley in Glasgow on Saturday morning. Her successor, Mr Swinney, was met with boos as he arrived at the service – held on St Andrew’s Day – with at least one person in the crowd outside on the Royal Mile shouting “traitor”. Mr Salmond stood down as SNP leader and first minister after the 2014 referendum in which Scots voted to stay part of the UK. He helped found and went on to lead another pro-independence party, Alba, with Kenny MacAskill, a long-time friend who served as justice secretary in Holyrood under Mr Salmond. Mr MacAskill, now the acting Alba leader, told the congregation – which included Mr Salmond’s widow Moira as well as Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, former Labour first minister Henry McLeish and Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay – that Mr Salmond had been a “giant of man”. Mr MacAskill, who quit the SNP to join Alba, hailed Mr Salmond as “an inspiration, a political genius” and being “most of all a man who had the cause of independence burned into his heart and seared in his soul”. The cause of independence was Mr Salmond’s “guiding light, his north star”, the former justice secretary said, adding that “he came so close to achieving it”. He added: “Those of us who share his dream must conclude that journey on his behalf. That’s the legacy he’d expect and the duty we owe him.” Recalling Mr Salmond’s words from when he stood down as first minister that “the dream shall never die”, Mr MacAskill concluded his address with the words: “Your dream shall be delivered.” Former Conservative Brexit minister and long-time friend of Mr Salmond, David Davis, gave a reading as did former Scottish government minister SNP MSP Fergus Ewing. Scottish folk singer Dougie MacLean performed his famous song Caledonia, while singer Sheena Wellington led mourners in a rendition of Robert Burns’ classic A Man’s A Man For A’ That. Scottish rock duo the Proclaimers were applauded for their performance of Cap in Hand – a pro-independence song which features the line “I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand”. Brothers Craig and Charlie Reid said: “We’re going to do this for Alex, with love and respect and eternal gratitude for everything you did for our country.” Christina Hendry described her Uncle Alex as a “political giant, a strong leader, a fearless campaigner” but also remembered his as a “dearly loved husband, brother and uncle”. While she said he had been “the top man in Scotland”, he had “always made time for his family”, recalling how he phoned her brother on his birthday – the day after the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 – to apologise for not posting a card “as he’d been busy”, before telling them he would “resigning in 10 minutes”. She told the congregation: “As his family, we always felt loved no matter how far away he was or the time that passed before we saw him next. “We always knew he was standing up for our country, and for that we were grateful.” Ms Hendry continued: “The world will be a much quieter place without Uncle Alex, for Moira, for the wider family and for Scotland. “Uncle Alex passing means a great loss for many. A loss of Scotland’s voice on the international stage. A loss of integrity in Scottish politics. And a great loss to Scotland’s independence movement. “As a family it is likely a loss we will never get over.” Duncan Hamilton KC, who was an SNP MSP after the first Scottish Parliament elections, but also served as a political adviser and legal counsel to Mr Salmond, said the former first minister had “rightly been hailed as one of the greatest Scottish politicians of this, or any, generation”. He told how Mr Salmond took the SNP from being “a fringe act trying to get onto the main stage” to a party of government. “In Scottish politics, his success was both spectacular and unrivalled,” Mr Hamilton said. “Alex Salmond will forever be a pivotal figure in Scotland’s story. He changed a nation. He inspired a country. “History will certainly remember him as a man of talent, charisma and substance. But also as a political leader of courage, vision and intelligence. “He dared to dream. And so should we.” As the service finished the crowd gathered outside applauded and chanted “Alex, Alex” before singing Flower Of Scotland.New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS): Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devender Yadav on Saturday visited some Mohalla Clinics during the Delhi Nyay Yatra to check on former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s so-called “model” of health care. During the visit, Yadav was shocked to find the clinics in a state of neglect, without doctors or nurses. Exposing yet another “jhoot ki revadi” (false promise of freebie) of Kejriwal, Yadav said that Kejriwal shut the well-run dispensaries established by the Congress government offering free treatment to the poor and opened Mohalla Clinics but these clinics became a gold mine of corruption for Kejriwal. Devender Yadav said that Kejriwal, who had boasted that he would open 1,000 Mohalla Clinics to provide free tests and treatment to the people, could not even create half that number of clinics in 10 years. Even the clinics he managed to set up are in ruins with no doctors or medicines. Some of them are being used by stray cattle and anti-social elements, he said. Yadav said that Kejriwal had promised that 200 tests would be conducted free of cost for poor patients through Mohalla Clinics, but lakhs of fake pathology and radiology tests were conducted on non-existent patients at the Mohalla Clinics. He alleged payments were made to private labs in the name of referrals. The Congress leader said that Kejriwal used Mohalla Clinics to swindle taxpayers’ money as he had done in the liquor scam, classroom construction scam and many other illegal acts. Earlier during his yatra, the Delhi Congress President Yadav unveiled a tableau featuring a “Sheesh Mahal” (the former CM’s official house in the eye of an alleged corruption case) and a gold-plated toilet seat, with a liquor bottle in front, as symbols of unprecedented corruption by Kejriwal. The tableau was unveiled before the start of the Delhi Nyay Yatra from Shastri Park in Hari Nagar Assembly in the presence of thousands of Congress workers and local residents. Yadav said that Kejriwal, who hailed to be from a humble background, lived in a small flat, drove a Wagon-R, and said that he would not accept any official bungalow, car or security, built a Rs 175 crore “Sheesh Mahal” illegally for himself, with a gold-plated commode, and travelled in luxury vehicles with security to flaunt his power. Yadav said Kejriwal did nothing for the people or for the development of the city.We now have a convicted felon, racist, failing businessman, liar, and I could go on. He has also brought into the White House the most disreputable, misinformed, and dangerous people. He and the people he has chosen for his cabinet and various administrative positions will so damage U.S. political, social, and economic institutions that this country will never look the same. And don’t even think about his approach to foreign policy. Ukraine will be consumed; Poland may be next, and NATO will be either weakened or flat-out disappear. And then there are Asia, Africa and Central and South America. Think I am exaggerating? Or maybe I am the canary in the mine.
