"Your Walmart turkey may be smaller and actually more expensive by the pound, but, hey, at least you HAVE a turkey!"
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10.

This sounds like a lead trial balloon that exploded when it landed.
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a more stringent policy on hate symbols, prohibiting “divisive or hate symbols or flags.”
The change came hours after The Post reported that the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive.”
