Its prohibition of alcohol in the stadiums has also triggered complaints from many soccer fans....

“I want to be very clear,” Trump said in his video, “I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country, and no place in our movement.” “Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement and upholding our nation’s most sacred traditions and values. Mob violence goes against everything I believe in, and everything, our movement stands for,” Trump said....

The segment saw co-anchor Colin Jost say that Trump had “lied” about the riot that left several people dead, including a police officer, in a recent interview with Fox News. Trump said his supporters “were not attacking officers but were instead hugging and kissing police,” Jost said. “But I’m not surprised that Donald Trump can’t tell the difference between kissing and assault,” he added. Jost took another jab at Trump when discussing photos that showed Joe Biden had relied on a cheat sheet during his first press conference since becoming president....

The Doctor Strange sequel features what is arguably Marvel Studios’ most violent and horrific deaths so far, despite the studio keeping its PG-13 label intact, with Deadpool 3 being planned as the MCU’s sole R-rated representative.

The film chronicles a high-school production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” What makes this production special is that it’s the first play in 20 years put on by the students of Dominguez High School in infamous Compton, Calif. It’s a school where nothing matters but basketball, where all the students are African-American or Hispanic, where there is no money for the show, no stage in sight, and rehearsals have to be conducted in the cafeteria....

When directly asked during an interview with Geoff Keighley, Anthem game director Jonathan Warner proved to be a little evasive and outright dodged the question entirely. Instead, Warner added additional context to the world players will be entering, into which BioWare has made sure to place an emphasis on gameplay as much as story this time around. During the events of Anthem, humanity has found itself at the bottom of the food chain....

Many of the former president’s most fervent admirers believe that it does. In the throes of a second impeachment crisis, Trumpian true believers remain painfully sensitive to disparagement from media, academia, Hollywood, Democratic power brokers and other left-leaning elements of the American establishment. They still recall when Hillary Clinton, at a decisive moment of the 2016 campaign, dismissed the core of Trump’s base as a “basket of deplorables.” By deriding Trump as a grifter and a demagogue, these sneering elites also seem to disrespect the hardworking, patriotic MAGA multitudes who gave him their votes, sent him their small-dollar contributions and even, on January 6th, trekked to Washington to overturn an election their leader falsely insisted he had won....

It’s cats, not dogs, that are said to possess nine lives, but Peter, a rescue pup from Utah, might be the exception to that rule. Not that anyone would begrudge this particular canine’s seemingly supernatural ability to evade serious injury, given the heartbreak he’s been through. An estimated 30 percent of animals entering shelters have been surrendered by their owners, according to the Stray Animal Foundation Platform. Peter’s owners didn’t even do that, though....
