“It has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of our legendary military bases, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Benning in Georgia, etc. These monumental and very powerful bases have become part of a great American heritage and a history of winning, victory, and freedom,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “The United States of America trained and deployed our heroes on these hallowed grounds, and won two world wars....

Former Good Morning Britain host (GMB) Piers Morgan released a promotional trailer for his interview with the former president on Wednesday. The video has garnered criticism on social media as it depicts a lively argument between the two, which Trump claimed was “deceptively edited” in a statement. Trump’s director of communications, Taylor Budowich, shared the statement by the former president on his Twitter page on Thursday. “Piers Morgan, like the rest of the Fake News Media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me,” Trump said in the statement....

We have learned that Trump is so obsessed with the legitimacy of his 2016 election—and so terrified of becoming a private citizen (subject to indictment and imprisonment) after the 2020 election—that he embraces a conspiratorial myth of Ukrainian responsibility for Russian lawlessness hatched by an oligarch in Vladimir Putin’s orbit. We have heard an official’s first-hand account of a president so beholden to Putin that he blithely dismisses Russia’s aggression as not “big stuff” compared with a public announcement by Ukraine’s new president to the effect that, contrary to fact, its government is investigating (nonexistent) corruption by Trump’s political rival....

The criticism from the son of former President Donald Trump came after the Associated Press reported that there are concerns among U.S. officials that some older Afghan refugee men potentially brought child brides or other young women that they sexually abuse when they were evacuated from Kabul. The State Department reportedly sought “urgent guidance” after some Afghan men allegedly arrived with underage wives at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. “So the Biden Administration lied about vetting and seems to be in the process of aiding and abetting child sex trafficking?...

Newsweek spoke to five sources familiar with the First Family members’ aggressive campaign schedules to get a clearer picture of their efforts heading into the campaign’s final stretch. Most were not authorized to speak publicly about the Trump family. “It’s something that’s kind of floated under the radar,” one campaign source told Newsweek of the campaign’s heavy reliance on the popularity of Trump’s children. Multiple sources described each of the three as having specific roles and bases that the campaign thinks they can appeal to, in particular Donald Trump Jr....

Trump praised Pence’s dodging of the question at Wednesday’s head-to-head in Utah as he appeared on Fox News on Thursday to discuss his health. He tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Speaking to the Hannity show last night, Trump said: “And then they talk about we want a peaceful transition of power. Peaceful transition. Mike Pence’s best answer was that answer last night. “Peaceful transition? Look what they did. They spent three and a half years trying to terminate a president....

Hill on Monday was suspended two weeks by ESPN for floating a possible boycott of Cowboys advertisers over team owner Jerry Jones’ declaration that players must stand for the national anthem or be benched. On Tuesday morning, Trump mocked both Hill and ESPN, which has been under fire from conservatives for its alleged liberal leanings. The Twitter attack on Hill is typical Trump, who likes to single out anchors, reporters and columnists at media organizations he dislikes such as MSNBC, CNN and the New York Times....

The survey wrapped up as Congress launched its first impeachment proceedings on Monday. It found that Trump’s approval sits at just 34 percent, the lowest it’s been in the four years since he first took office, according to Politico/Morning Consult. More than six in 10 voters, or 63 percent, said they disapprove of the president. The largest drop in approval existed among Republicans and independents, as a great majority of Democrats already disapprove of Trump’s performance....

Trump was indefinitely locked out of his Facebook account after he was accused of using his social media platforms to incite a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol in a deadly riot on January 6. The following day, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post that the risk of continuing to allow Trump to use Facebook and Instagram during the presidential transition period was “simply too great....

The Doctor Strange sequel follows Benedict Cumberbatch’s sorcerer hero through the alternate realities of the multiverse as he is forced to make new allies in order to defeat new threats, with one being his evil variant corrupted by the Darkhold who seek to wreak havoc on several universes. One of the universes he ends up on is Earth-838, home to the Illuminati, but that wasn’t always the plan according to Waldron’s interview with Empire....

Doctor Strange 2 promises to be both an absurdly fun and potentially very dark sequel to its predecessor. Marvel Studios can amplify the hype for the film by both subverting expectations and utilizing a non-obvious villain. Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch, should be the main villain in Doctor Strange 2. Yes, the fellow Avenger would make for a powerful ally for the good doctor, but an even more compelling superhero-turned-supervillain....

In this sequel, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) works against a friend-turned-foe to help protect the multiverse and faces repercussions for his own meddling along the way. But does this latest Marvel flick have any additional bonus content after the film has finished? Here is your post-credits scene guide to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. You can also find out when we expect this film to release on Disney+, VOD and DVD/Blu-ray....

Donna Noble exploded into the Whoniverse — and into the TARDIS — in the final scene of Series 2, setting up her appearance in the Series 3 Christmas special. Catherine Tate had already surged to pop culture stardom independently of Doctor Who, and her appearance in the episode was a surprise for viewers, arranged with utmost secrecy. Yet anyone who watched “The Runaway Bride” would be far less surprised by her return as a companion in Series 4....

Now that Gatwa has been announced as the next Doctor, it’s about time for Doctor Who to hit a sort of reset button and start establishing a new era. With each new regeneration comes new stories, new companions, and new fans. But suppose words like “The Doctor” and “regeneration” are proving to be a bit of an information overload. In that case, it’s a good thing that Gatwa himself has a primer for newcomers to brush up on the ever-expanding lore of this wibbly-wobbly series....

“We don’t charge families out-of-pocket if their insurance doesn’t reimburse us,” Mrotek says. “But, I know many practices do.” In fact, Mrotek said she was charged an extra $10 to cover personal protective equipment (PPE) expenses before her daughter’s recent visit to the pediatrician. The economic impact of COVID-19 does not discriminate; the legalities of insurance coding and the general issue of patient out-of-pocket costs associated with PPE are among the new realities of this era....

Montana is the only state in the U.S. with a law banning vaccine requirements for private employers, said Hemi Tewarson, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy. Dr. Pamela Cutler, president of the Montana Medical, is one of many physicians who have increased pushback against the law. “This is against everything we’ve ever known or believed about public health,” Cutler said. “I believe it’s a travesty now and it needs to be fixed so that we can make our offices safe for patients and our coworkers....

“This is the quintessential underdog story,” says Aakash Chopra, the first ever player to lead Rajasthan to India’s prestigious Ranji Trophy in the tournament’s 77-year history. And it’s hard to disagree – Rajasthan had been the whipping boys of Indian cricket for decades, a non-entity in the grand scheme of the Ranji Trophy. It was only in the 2010/11 when Chopra was invited to play for Rajasthan as a guest player in the Ranji Plate Group, that an entire state’s cricketing destiny would be re-written for the considerable future....

It was an elimination game, and given his recent history, it stands to reason he’s one of the players, if not the player, Dodger fans would want at the plate in this moment on the cusp of history. But that wouldn’t have been the case eight weeks ago, as the eighth month of 2021 was drawing to a close. Taylor was beginning an eventual 8-for-72 slump that followed him to the start of the postseason....

Roberts said Kershaw is taking anti-inflammatory medication to deal with the pain and does not need an MRI. The update comes after Roberts said on Friday the left-hander would be shut down indefinitely for “an arm kind of thing” and did not reveal any other details. “It’s just the shoulder, probably inflammation getting ramped up,” Roberts told reporters, via MLB.com. “Says he continues to feel better. When he will throw a baseball, probably soon....

Potential All-Stars Adrian Gonzalez, Dee Gordon and Yasiel Puig (yah-SEEL’ pweeg) are among the players and coaches who got down on the floor to play with the puppies for a video posted Thursday at Dodgers.com. Besides being cute, it reminds fans they have until July 3 to vote for their favorite players to go the 2014 All-Star game. With a week left to vote, Puig, Gonzalez and Gordon are each near the top in position voting for the July 15 game....
