'Saturday Night Live' writer suspended over tweet that mocked Donald Trump's 10-year old son

A writer for "Saturday Night Live" has been suspended for a tweet that ridiculed Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump. 

The writer, Katie Rich, during Trump's inauguration on Friday, sent out a tweet that mocked Barron Trump, who is 10 years old. The tweet was widely criticized by many on social media.

The backlash went as far as an online petition that called for NBC to fire Rich. That petition has so far accumulated more than 85,000 signatures on Change.org.


Rich deleted the tweet as well as her Twitter account, which she then reactivated on Monday in order to post an apology.

"I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet, I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I'm so sorry."

Following the march in New York City, protesters left behind thousands of signs around Fifth Avenue near Trump Tower. Many signs left near a construction site were taken home by admirers as souvenirs. One group of placards was made into an art installation on East 57th Street, while many of these great signs were discarded near receptacles along Fifth Avenue waiting for sanitation.

The very exclusive cars Rolls-Royce built last year: Carmaker reveals seven unique models its bespoke design team created for the super rich

Rolls-Royce built and delivered a total of 4,011 vehicles last year. Yet, no two cars leaving its British factory at Goodwood are ever exactly alike and many cost owners up to seven-digit sums once they've had it customised to their exacting taste.

But despite every model being unique, there are still some cars that stand out for being tailored to extraordinary levels.

To celebrate the lengths the 113-year-old British marque will go to for its biggest bank-balanced buyers, Rolls-Royce has revealed seven of the most distinctive one-off cars created by its in-house bespoke design team last year. 

Unfortunately, prices have been kept quiet by the brand and its customers. Don't be in any doubt that they cost anything other than lottery-winning figures, though.

I’ve tested over 100 headphones in the past year, and I keep coming back to this $26 pair

Last month I sang the praises of the Sony MDR-1A, a $300 pair of full-size headphones that’s stood out from the many pairs I’vetested for being smooth-sounding, good-looking, and so very, very comfortable. They’re not the best, but they’re the ones I’d be most likely to buy.

That said, they’re $300 full-size headphones. Anything along those lines isn’t going to be all that portable. Sometimes, it’s good to have a pair of “beaters” on hand — cheap, secondary headphones you can stuff in a bag, toss on quickly, and wear on the go, without having to worry about busting your Very Nice Thing.

I’ve followed this setup for the past few months, and of the many inexpensive, beater-level pairs I’ve had lying around, the Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro have emerged as a personal favorite. Like the MDR-1A, they have a few clear flaws, but they still feel and sound better than I’d expect from a $26 earphone.  

The Pentagon rubbishes Russian claims of joint air mission over Syria as 'propaganda'

The US Military has rubbished claims Russian fighter jets have flown their first combat mission in Syria alongside American-led coalition forces. 

US Marine Major Adrian JT Rankine-Galloway completely dismissed the claims from the Kremlin on Monday afternoon.

'The Department of Defense is not coordinating airstrikes with the Russian military in Syria,' a statement read.

'DoD maintains a channel of communication with the Russian military focused solely on ensuring the safety of aircrews and de-confliction of Coalition and Russian operations in Syria.'

The Russian defense ministry has said its warplanes have flown their first combat mission in Syria with US-led coalition aircraft. Pictured are two Russian Tu-22M3 bombers on Monday

US Air Force Col. John Dorrian, a coalition spokesman, spoke out almost immediately against the Russian claim - dubbing it propaganda. 

White House spokesman Sean Spicer would not comment on the specific reports, however he suggested Donald Trump would be willing to work with Russia.
