We’ve all been there. Standing at the holiday party with nothing to say to a room full of well-dressed strangers. Or wondering what fork we are supposed to use for the salad. And does it even matter what side of the plate you put your water glass on?   Etiquette has become a lost art in much of American culture, but Alison Cheperdak, to borrow from President Donald Trump, is “making it great again.”   After law school and serving in a number of fast-paced positions, including in the first Trump administration, Cheperdak decided to turn her passion for etiquette into a career and founded Elevate Etiquette.   On this special Thanksgiving edition of “Problematic Women,” Cheperdak shares everything from tips and tricks for carrying on a conversation with strangers at holiday parties to how to set a proper Thanksgiving table, and when it is, and isn’t, appropriate to send a thank-you note.   And Thanksgiving would not be complete without some holiday trivia! Catch it all on this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.”  The post Make Etiquette Great Again: Your Guide to Winning the Holidays appeared first on The Daily Signal.

What began as a solo project for renowned guitarist Mark Tremonti has evolved into one of modern metal’s most respected acts. Formed in 2011, Tremonti started as an outlet for the heavier musical ideas that didn’t fit within Mark’s other bands, Creed and Alter Bridge. The band has released six studio albums to date: All I Was (2012), Cauterize (2015), Dust (2016), A Dying Machine (2018), Marching in Time (2021), and The End Will Show Us How (2025). Their sound is characterized by thrash metal influences combined with melodic vocals, setting them apart from Mark Tremonti’s other musical ventures.

While many on the Left, and even some on the Right, believe the Trump administration’s decision to park the USS Gerald R. Ford off the coast of Venezuela is a precursor for war, Victor Davis Hanson argues that President Donald Trump’s “America First” base and recent U.S. history in the region may shine the light on an entirely different outcome on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” The post Victor Davis Hanson: Venezuela Is No Panama, and Trump Knows This appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Thursday’s Katy Tur Reports featured author and television producer Jennifer Weiner reflecting on her New York Times opinion piece in which she whined about Jeffrey Epstein not naming his victims in the recently released e-mails. Weiner took the spotlight to insinuate Trump was a “sex offender” due to his past relationship with Epstein and previous regrettable activity. MS NOW host Katy Tur set the stage for Weiner by wondering why Trump wouldn’t associate himself with Epstein’s most vocal victims: “I mean, he would think that he would need to legitimize these women and that if it really wasn't — if he really was not worried about being named or being shamed in these documents, that he would open the door and let them in and be that champion.” Weiner then took the observation to the extreme — implying that Trump must have something to hide: And I think for a lot of this, it's like, if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck and it's acting like a […] sex offender who might — maybe has something to hide or knows people who have things to hide. I mean, what I can say is that, you know, everything I've read in these emails, this is consistent — we know how Donald Trump talks about women, how he talks to women.     She then brought up Trump’s past ownership of a teenage beauty pageant and comments he made on The Howard Stern Show as evidence of his alleged creepiness: “I mean, this is, you know, he's been hiding in plain sight. And now I think it's going to be — it's gonna be very, very hard for him to sort of walk all of this back.” Despite the fact that nothing in the Epstein files has incriminated him thus far and that the left-wing media has been very careful to avoid defamation suits by acknowledging such (except perhaps ABC), then yeah, there’s so much for him to walk back. Saving the best for last, Weiner repeated the dumbest accusation liberal pundits have made over the past year regarding the Epstein saga: And I just don't know if Trump's going to try to brazen his way through it, if he's gonna start a, you know, start a war to distract us. I don't know what he'll do, but […] he can't be seen to legitimize these women. He can’t acknowledge their pain as real. A war? Really? The President who ended a two-year conflict in the Middle East, who was responsible for the Abraham Accords, who has attempted to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, and who is pressuring Central and South American drug cartels to cease their operations that have resulted in the deaths of many Americans — would start a war to detract from potentially embarrassing material that couldn’t possibly be worse than what he’s been accused of already? No one’s denied the tragedy and trauma Epstein’s many victims had to suffer. And those who wished to reveal themselves have done so. The transcript is below. Click "expand" read: MS NOW’s Katy Tur Reports November 20, 2025 3:27:40 p.m. EST KATY TUR: I'm surprised by that, though, because you'd think — you know, if he really did want to lead the charge and take up the responsibility and be the one that does get this legislation passed, as he's claimed, the one that, you know, always wanted this these files released, even though Democratic administrations never did it. I mean, he would think that he would need to legitimize these women and that if it really wasn't — if he really was not worried about being named or being shamed in these documents, that he would open the door and let them in and be that champion. JENNIFER WEINER: Yeah. And I think for a lot of this, it's like, if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck and it's acting like a — TUR: Yeah. WEINER: — sex offender who might — maybe has something to hide or knows people who have things to hide. I mean, what I can say is that, you know, everything I've read in these emails, this is consistent — we know how Donald Trump talks about women, how he talks to women. This is a man who bought a teenage beauty pageant and bragged to Howard Stern about, like, wandering around backstage and they couldn't tell him no, cause he was the owner and he had a right to be there. TUR: Yeah, that’s a story that gets forgotten. WEINER: I mean we know, like, this — oh yeah. I mean, this is, you know, he's been hiding in plain sight. And now I think it's going to be — it's gonna be very, very hard for him to sort of walk all of this back. All of the women who've accused him, all of the young women who've accused him, you know, and the videos of him and Epstein and the photographs of the two of them, the complimentary things Trump said about him over the years. It said, “He likes beautiful women as much as I do, some of them on the very young side.” I mean, you know, this is not surprising if you've been paying — TUR: Yeah. WEINER: — attention. And I just don't know if Trump's going to try to brazen his way through it, if he's gonna start a, you know, start a war to distract us. I don't know what he'll do, but I — TUR: Yeah. WEINER: — he can't be seen to legitimize these women. He can’t acknowledge their pain as real.
