“Why was he chosen to give this rebuttal?” Hostin asked on the talk show. “He was chosen because he is the only Black Republican senator. He is that person. He is the person that Republicans want to put out front because of the problem of racism in this country and he knows that.” “So, I was sort of disappointed he was used in this way and didn’t take that opportunity to address this type of issue head on,” she said on Thursday....

Darren Aronofsky’s film is adapted from a stage play by Samuel D. Hunter and stars Brendan Fraser as a man trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter. Fraser’s performance as Charlie, a reclusive 600lb teacher, is tipped to earn an Oscar nomination for best actor and has been widely praised. However, the film’s makers have been criticized for a number of decisions—and particularly because Fraser wears a fat suit to play Charlie....

The massacre hasn’t hurt his career any: four days later, he was promoted to colonel. Bozic rose to power when hard-line HVO officials fired moderate Croatian leaders in the area, even jailing the mayor and police chief of Vares when they insisted on treating the Muslim minority fairly, says a U.N. source on scene. Stupni Do, Bozic claims, was a well-armed enclave which engaged Croatian special forces in fair battle....

The four-part limited series, which premieres on Christmas Day, is set 1,200 years before the events of the flagship show and it takes place long before Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) roamed the Continent slaying monsters for coin. In fact, The Witcher: Blood Origin introduces viewers to several new characters, some of whom have never appeared in Andrzej Sapkowski’s original novels. With that in mind, fans may need a handy guide to know who is who....

The Virginia Democratic National Committee (DNC) member and expert on outreach to Black voters was looking for a sign — any sign — that Terry McAuliffe’s campaign was doing the basic blocking and tackling necessary to energize Black voters and eke out a win in a surprisingly competitive Virginia governor’s race. But she wasn’t seeing much. Visiting her family in southern Virginia in October she finally heard radio ads on Black radio stations, perhaps due to a late-hour infusion of new ads by the DNC, included in an earlier $6 million investment aimed in part at voters of color....

The four-time champion spoke during second practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix where rivals Mercedes topped the times, Valtteri Bottas beating Hamilton by 0.003 seconds. Vettel was third fastest in the session, complaining of what was originally thought to be problems with his car’s front suspension. He supplied additional impromptu detail when he told the team: “There’s something loose between my legs. “Apart from the obvious. Something is flying around my feet....

It’s no secret that The Monster Among Men and The Scottish Warrior are two of the biggest stars in the global juggernaut. However, both have often lost crucial matches that could have cemented their positions as undisputed top guys. For instance, Strowman’s loss to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel 2018 and McIntyre’s dual losses at WrestleMania 37 and Clash at the Castle considerably derailed their momentum. According to Vince Russo, this lowers their prospects of winning their respective matches at this week’s WWE Crown Jewel 2022....

xQc responds to viewer missing his old antics The Twitch streamer expressed how frequently he receives complaints about his current content and how people prefer his old antics.

Visibly furious, the streamer stated: The Canadian continued to talk about it while playing Rust in the 1$00K tournament, stating that he didn’t care about such opinions at all:...

It wouldn’t be a shock since the drag-racing legend recently completed the Mexican 1000, a grueling, five-day off-road rally covering 1,300 miles in Baja California. The 77-year-old Prudhomme, a four-time NHRA Funny Car champion nicknamed “The Snake,” finished 10th in the Stock Turbo UTV class at the annual National Off Road Racing Association event last weekend. “It was the wildest, craziest thing I’ve ever done,” Prudhomme told The Associated Press from his home in San Diego....

AL-THANI: In Lebanon, Hizbullah and the Shia are around 40 percent of the population, so if the Lebanese government went to enforce it [the draft resolution] … we might see a civil war again. Why do they have to take on Hizbullah? They have to take the place of Hizbullah, and Hizbullah has to become a normal political party.
