Ronaldo hit a hat-trick for Portugal in a 5-1 win over the Faroe Islands in World Cup qualifying on Thursday night to take his international tally to 78, the first of those a spectacular scissor kick early on in the game. “I saw the goal, It was really special,” Pele told Goal in an exclusive interview. “It was a really nice play.” Pele’s 77 Brazil goals came in just 92 appearances, while the former Santos icon also won three World Cups for his country (in 1958, 1962 and 1970)....

In October, President Donald Trump’s negotiators raised their compromise offer to $1.8 trillion after House Democrats had approved a $2.2 trillion package. But Pelosi opposed the compromise, arguing that it did not go far enough and that the language regarding the government’s health care response to the coronavirus pandemic was not sufficient. Those negotiations resulted in a stalemate. On Tuesday, nine senators—four Republicans, four Democrats and one independent—were joined by the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in the House to unveil a $908 billion compromise deal....

“That’s so sad,” Pelosi said. “They can’t handle their jobs, I guess, because, what are they saying? We ignored it? It was self-evident. Most people knew about it and certainly those of responsibility.” She continued, “So I say of that, either you can’t handle your job, but don’t blame impeachment on that. Just blame it on the fact that you didn’t want to face the reality, and that denial and that delay cost lives....

Over the previous year, Pelosi’s disclosures, which were reviewed by Newsweek, showed purchases of somewhere between almost $10 million to nearly $32 million worth of stocks in 2021. These disclosures list the amount of each individual stock transaction in the form of ranges, hence the wide range in the totals. Under the rules dictated in the Senate legislation sponsored by Democratic Senators Mark Kelly of Arizona and Jon Ossoff of Georgia, the spouses of lawmakers and their dependent children would be forced to divest individual stocks that could only be reinvested if placed in a blind trust....

The good news for parents is that money is a rare subject about which kids will seek out and listen to parental advice, says pollster Mathew Greenwald. What to tell them? Focus on shopping and spending behavior, and leave the finer points of stock-market analysis for later. And don’t believe everything you hear from bankers and brokers.

That’s not the way it panned out — bad luck and bad decisions got in the way — but today, whatever this is, they’ll take it.

And when you’re the only one on the court who’s paying attention, that’s exceptionally productive. Such was the case for Penn State’s Shep Garner on Wednesday night against Virginia Tech. See for yourself. Those are two of the easiest points Garner will get all season. And the easiest offensive rebound, too. UPDATE: Penn State won the game by three points, 61-58.

During a press conference, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Rachel Levine said, “I have issued an order to suspend alcohol sales at all bars and restaurants at 5 p.m. on just one night, Wednesday, November 25, until 8 a.m. on Thursday, November 26.” Levine continued, “That’s a one-night suspension of alcohol sales at all bars and restaurants.” During the press conference, Governor Tom Wolf noted that the night before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest drinking nights of the year, and said, “When people get together in that situation, it leads to an increase in the exchange of the fluids that leads to increased infection....
