Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:17:01 GMT

By Mark Kennedy | Associated PressIn “Scream VI,” the psychotic, knife-wielding serial killer known as Ghostface is set loose on the streets of New York City. Yawn.The former terror of the fictional California town of Woodsboro has made the cross-country trip to the City That Never Sleeps, bringing his creepy mask, black cloak and impressive supply of daggers. But he’s lost in the big city, a slasher made small in his new playground.No disrespect to Mr. Stabby-Stabby, but New York is where you get screamed at by a deranged hot dog vendor, have fistfights over midtown parking, pay $8 for a pack of gum and find approximately six public bathrooms for 8 million people. Ghostface, dude, up your scare game in the Big Apple. This is the city where Pizza Rat lives. This is a city where middle schoolers have nunchucks.Despite the change of scenery, “Scream VI” is less a sequel and more a stutter-step, a half-movie with some very satisfying stabbings but no real ...

“If he were any more self-absorbed, he’d be a paper towel.” — a baseball writer’s observation about a star player who seemed more concerned with his personal stats than winning games.In today’s deal, South opened four hearts, a questionable action even after two passes; North might have held two aces. West led the ace and deuce of diamonds. South ruffed East’s ten and led the king of trumps.West took his ace and led a spade, and when East won and led the king of diamonds, South had to absorb defeat. He ruffed with the queen of trumps and took the J-10, but West’s nine won the setting trick.LOSING SPADEIt takes focus to make this contract, but South must have been absorbed with his plans for dinner. After he ruffs the second diamond, he must take the ace of clubs, ruff a club in dummy and lead a third diamond to pitch his losing spade — a “scissors coup.”This play stops the defenders from promoting a second trump trick...

Ending the Hidden Occupation

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:17:01 GMT

This week, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., brought forward a war powers resolution, backed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, that would bring U.S. troops home from Syria. On Wednesday night, the resolution was rejected by Democrats and Republicans alike. During the debate, some advocated for an endless occupation, while their arguments unwittingly made the point that the U.S. government may not be the best group to solve the crisis. This week on Deconstructed, Ryan Grim is joined by Robert Ford, who was President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Syria up until 2014. Although he was known inside the White House as a hawkish supporter of arming the Syrian opposition, this week he came out in support of Gaetz’s resolution to pull out U.S. troops. Ford describes some of the political maneuvering and behind-the-scenes conversations taking place in 2013 and why he is calling to remove U.S. troops from Syria.Transcript coming soon.The post Ending the Hidden Occupation appeared first on The Int...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:17:01 GMT

(CNN) — Una semana después de los secuestros violentos de cuatro estadounidenses en México, los investigadores todavía trabajan para reconstruir cómo y por qué se desarrolló el secuestro, incluso después de que un cartel se disculpó por llevar a cabo lo que el padre de una víctima llamó “un crimen sin sentido” que dejó dos estadounidenses y una mujer mexicana muerta.El caso sigue siendo “muy confuso” para los investigadores, que todavía están obteniendo información sobre el secuestro del pasado viernes y considerando todos los ángulos, dijo a CNN un funcionario de la Fiscalía de Tamaulipas familiarizado con la investigación.Aunque las autoridades no han nombrado públicamente a ningún sospechoso, el Cartel del Golfo, que se cree que es responsable de los secuestros, emitió este jueves una carta de disculpa y el grupo entregó a cinco de sus miembros a las autoridades locales, según imágenes que circulan en línea y una versión de la carta obtenida por CNN ...
