(NEXSTAR) — It's been 25 years since we saw Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer be sentenced to prison in the show finale, dubbed "The Finale," of the hit television series "Seinfeld." (Sure, maybe we should've put a spoiler alert at the start of that sentence, but it has been over two decades.)If you weren't a fan of the ending, or wanted something more from the show, you may be in luck. While fielding questions from the audience during a performance at the Wang Theatre in Boston over the weekend, Jerry Seinfeld himself hinted that he and fellow show creator Larry David are working on some sort of project regarding the finale. "Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending," Seinfeld can be heard saying in a video posted to Instagram by Linda Henry, the CEO of Boston Globe Media. He goes on, saying he "can't really tell it, because it is a secret." This is the wealthiest person in your state, Forbes report shows "Here's what I'll tell you," he says.

(NewsNation) — A recent study has revealed that extreme weather events, which can be directly attributed to human-caused global warming, cost an estimated $143 billion annually. These climate crisis-related damages have averaged $16 million per hour over the past two decades, and the Guardian reported that the damage caused by the climate crisis has cost $16 million an hour for the past 20 years. Over the period from 2000 to 2019, the total human-caused climate change-attributed costs for extreme weather events reached $2.86 trillion, averaging $143 billion annually. Approximately 63% of these costs are due to the loss of human life.

(NewsNation) — Americans have lost around $2.7 billion from scams originating on social media, a new report from the Federal Trade Commission shows. That's more than any other contact method — phone calls, emails, texts, or regular mail —according to the FTC. In a Data Spotlight, Emma Fletcher, a senior data researcher for the FTC, wrote that scammers are often "hiding in plain sight on social media platforms.""Social media gives scammers an edge in several ways. They can easily manufacture a fake persona, or hack into your profile, pretend to be you and con your friends," Fletcher wrote. "They can learn to tailor their approach from what you share on social media, and scammers who place ads can even use tools available to advertisers to methodically target you based on personal details, such as your age, interests or past purchases. All of this costs them next to nothing to reach billions of people from anywhere in the world."Online shopping scams, especially ones where people boug...Actor, Comedian Frank Caliendo Shares Some of His Latest Celebrity Impressions!

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- As Israel vows a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, we ask an expert on Palestine and Israel, what happens next?Sally Hernandez, KXAN: What is the relationship between Israel and Palestine?Ryan Bohl, RANE Network: So it is a complicated relationship because Palestine isn't governed by a single entity. When we talk about Palestine, we're probably talking about what we're talking about two separate territories, there's the Gaza Strip, which is on the Mediterranean; very small enclave of about two and a half million people. And then there's the West Bank, which is a bulk of Palestine territory. And where we're seeing the violence right now is in the Gaza Strip, which has been since 2007, ruled by a militant group called Hamas and Hamas won some elections back then they've never held any elections since then. And they are ideologically opposed to the existence of the State of Israel. And that differs from the West Bank, where that's governed by the Palestinian Authority,...Buc-ee's to host groundbreaking ceremony for new Amarillo location
