For decades, "The Simpsons" has proven adept at not only standing the test of time, but even predicting the future.

In season 11, "The Simpsons" predicted a Donald Trump presidency in the 2000 episode "Bart to the Future." The year (on the show) was 2030, and the Simpson administration had inherited "quite a budget crunch" from President Trump.

French President Emmanuel Macron has become the latest world leader to catch the coronavirus. His office confirmed on Thursday that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was self-isolating for seven days in line with national guidelines.

After failing in his legal efforts to overturn his Nov. 3 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden, who on Monday won the state-by-state Electoral College vote that formally determines the U.S. presidency, Trump will re-enter private life on Jan. 20 with an array of opportunities.

US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said he was "glad" of the administration's decision to use sanctions against Turkey, in response to Ankara's purchase of the S-400 Russian-made missile defense system.

The Senator has repeatedly pressed the Administration to put these sanctions into place.

Electors in Arizona confirmed that 11 votes went to Biden, Pennsylvania gave 20, Nevada 6, Vermont 3, while Tennessee gave Trump 11.
Electors from the federal state of Washington cast their 12 votes to Biden.
Electors from Rhode Island and Virginia cast the votes to Trump.

This would effectively force the outgoing US President to impose penalties that have long been prescribed by law, writes the magazine "Foreign Policy".
Capitol Hill has long been pressuring Trump to impose mandatory sanctions on Turkey, after Ankara bought the Russian S-400 anti-missile system in July 2019.

It will be signed by President Trump

According to Sputnik, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has requested independent investigation files that prove that people voted in several states.

"Certainly I will. Certainly I will. And you know that. But I think a lot more will happen before January 20. A lot of things. A huge scam has been discovered. It's like we're a third world country," he said.
Trump also said that it would be difficult to accept the election results under such circumstances.

Namely, after several days of violent protests, the police has withdrawn from a protest zone in Seattle on Monday.
