Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Currently,...

Trump wants to cut Social Security taxes. How would that affect benefits?

Social Security beneficiaries should prepare for several changes in 2025 that will impact their monthly benefits. The most significant adjustment will be the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), which is estimated to be around 2.7% based on current inflation trends, according to the Senior Citizens League. However, higher-than-expected inflation could push this number even higher.

Bailey also sought to remove Trump’s gag order on claims that it violated the First Amendment rights of voters who could not hear the former president and convicted felon speak.The case was a long-shot effort, but still, it is surprising given the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Trump near total immunity last...
