Gussie Farris, 86, isn’t phased by the age of the oldest presidential candidates in American history. As a loyal supporter of President Joe Biden, she has some strong words about Donald Trump. “Because Trump is big and loud, he doesn’t come off as old as maybe Biden does, but he’s way less capable in the brain area,” Farris said. This sentiment reflects a trend that Biden’s campaign is focusing on: garnering strong support among seniors. Polls show that seniors spend more time watching local and national news, thinking about the 2024 election, and were alive during the aftermath of World…

As a devoted entertainment reporter, I must confess that the phenomenon of “Game of Thrones” and its prequel “House of the Dragon” has never resonated with me. Despite my love for pop culture, historical fiction, and fantasy series like “Lord of the Rings” and “Shadow and Bone,” I just couldn’t seem to connect with George R.R. Martin’s epic saga of power struggles in Westeros and Essos. Even after attempting to read the books and watch the series, I found the dark and brutal world of “Game of Thrones” to be too much for me. The characters, with their questionable morals…

After the destruction of the Trypilska power plant by Russia on April 11th, Ukraine found itself in a desperate situation, lacking both anti-missile ammunition and financial support. The country’s leaders were quick to blame the lack of ammunition on limited industrial capacity, while pointing to limited political will as the reason for the shortage of money. These constraints among Ukraine’s allies have left the country vulnerable in the face of Russian aggression. Despite these challenges, there have been signs of progress in one particular area: the fate of Russia’s frozen assets. Following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Western governments moved…

In a landmark ruling on Friday, the Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on bump stocks that had been put in place by former President Donald Trump. Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the opinion for a 6-3 majority, with the court’s liberal wing, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, dissenting. The ban on bump stocks was initially proposed by Trump in response to a tragic mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas in 2017, where 58 people lost their lives. Bump stocks are devices that can increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle to hundreds of rounds per…

Two Team GB athletes, Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe, have recently been selected to represent their country at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics in artistic swimming. The pair, both 23 years old, are aiming to secure Team GB’s first-ever medal in the sport. To kick off their Olympic journey, Shortman and Thorpe had a unique experience swimming with marine life at the Sea Life London Aquarium, including a turtle named after Boris Johnson. Reflecting on the experience, Shortman admitted, “It’s definitely the most rogue place I’ve ever swam.” The athletes encountered a variety of species, such as batfish and unicorn…

It has been four years since the initial wave of poor countries faced default due to escalating expenses from dealing with the effects of the covid-19 pandemic and investors withdrawing capital from volatile markets. Additionally, it has been two years since the increase in interest rates in developed countries further intensified the financial strain on cash-strapped governments. Despite these challenges, at the recent spring gatherings of the IMF and the World Bank in Washington, DC, many global policymakers seemed to be under the impression that the worst of the debt crisis, affecting a significant portion of the world’s population, had…

In a recent development, Democrats are capitalizing on former President Donald Trump’s controversial characterization of Milwaukee as a “horrible” city. The strategic move is aimed at holding Trump accountable politically for his disparaging remarks about the largest city in Wisconsin, which happens to be a crucial swing state and the host of the upcoming Republican national convention in July. Cavalier Johnson, the Democratic mayor of Milwaukee, expressed his concerns about Trump’s comments, stating in an interview with CNN’s Laura Coates, “In a state that’s decided on a razor’s edge, that may ultimately cost Donald Trump the election.” The Democratic National…

Taking a stand on any issue can be a risky move, as it often comes with potential consequences. This could involve facing backlash from those who disagree with your stance, experiencing negative impacts on your reputation, or even risking your job or livelihood. In today’s society, where opinions are easily shared and scrutinized on social media, speaking out on controversial topics can be particularly daunting. One recent example of this is the case of Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who famously knelt during the national anthem as a protest against police brutality and racial injustice. Kaepernick’s actions sparked a…

Former President Trump engaged in a policy discussion with advisers and Senators Marco Rubio and Eric Schmitt at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington following his meetings with congressional lawmakers on Thursday. The discussion included topics such as democracy and how to address questions regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack incited by Trump’s supporters. The meeting was reported by The New York Times. Although Trump’s team denies that the meeting was for debate preparation, an adviser acknowledged that such discussions will be beneficial as Trump gears up to face off against President Biden in their first debate on…

Jamie Jones continued his impressive form from the World Championship in April as he smoothly advanced to the last 32 of the Championship League in Leicester. Despite a narrow 10-9 loss to John Higgins in the first round at the Crucible, the Welshman demonstrated his scoring prowess and resilience in the season’s first ranking event. In Group 30, Jones showcased his skills with a remarkable 124 break in a 3-0 victory over Chris Totten. He followed this up with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Ishpreet Singh Chadha, before staging a comeback from a 2-0 deficit to secure another draw with…
