“Happy New Year, everyone. In 2024, we’re ready to keep delivering for the American people and fight back against MAGA extremism. Let’s finish the job”, he stated.

It is worth remembering that “Make America Great Again” was the slogan of former President Donald Trump’s election campaign in 2016. The phrase had already been used by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Therefore, in the current scenario, the most likely outcome for the race for the White House in 2024 is a rematch between Biden and Trump.

With this, both parties will have processes to choose their candidates. On January 15th there will be a selection process among Republicans in the state of Iowa.

This year, in addition to the candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties, there is a third candidate who could have some influence on the final result: Robert F. Kennedy, who will be independent (in the USA, a person can run for a political position without belonging to a party ).

Meryl Streep has earned her position in Hollywood as one of the most respected and sought-after women, thanks to her chameleon-like talent that stands out in each production in which she participates. A notable example is “The Devil Wears Prada”, a film that has remained a favorite over time.

In this work, Meryl shared the scene with Anne Hathaway, who also rose as one of the most admired actresses, counting on Streep’s guidance to face the challenges of the film industry. Their roles as Miranda Priestly (Meryl) and Andy Sachs (Anne) not only inadvertently turned them into fashion icons, but also brought them closer together in a beautiful friendship.

Both shared details about the pressures related to image and physical appearance. In particular, Anne Hathaway revealed the valuable advice given by Meryl Streep before filming. When asked about the advice, Anne recalled: “You told me to eat a hamburger.” Meryl Streep emphasized the industry’s pressure on her image, noting that she advised Anne not to give in to the weight loss expectations imposed by others.

Expressing her distaste for the industry’s demands, Meryl reiterated her firm stance by saying that she would not allow such demands to be made of her. Her posture highlights the strength and authenticity of a veteran actress. Anne Hathaway later shared the complexity of the situation as she was initially asked to gain weight and then later lose weight to conform to film industry standards. She revealed the difficulties she faced during this process, from asking for weight gain to tears when having to lose the pounds again to fit into the costumes.

0

A controversial refereeing decision marked the loss of the Los Angeles Lakers to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the last seconds, the Angelina team converted a basket that was initially considered a two-point basket by the referees, but, after review, the NBA confirmed that LeBron James stepped over the line, making the basket of just two points valid.

The official report highlighted that during James’ successful shot, initially considered a two-point shot, there was no clear and conclusive visual evidence to reverse the on-court decision. The replay showed that as he lifted his heels for the jump, James’ right foot rolled forward, causing the toe of his shoe to touch the three-point line. For a shot to be counted as a three-pointer, the player cannot touch the line until after shooting the ball.

This resulted in 106 points for the Lakers. On the next possession, Anthony Edwards was sent to the free throw line, where he missed one of two shots. With 1.4 seconds remaining, the Lakers had a chance to tie, but LeBron James was unable to shoot in time, confirming the unfavorable result.

Despite the lack of clarity in the video images regarding LeBron James’ step on the line, enlargements revealed that the referee was correct in the call. However, due to the minimal difference, probably less than a centimeter, in which the player’s toe touched the line at the last moment before the jump, the decision remained two points. LeBron James expressed displeasure with the situation, suggesting that the NBA should not include the error in the game report.

I gave everything I could have given of my heart and myself to the projects I was lucky enough to be a part of, and I learned so much from each bright and beautiful soul I had the privilege of creating art with and crossing paths with this year.”

Previously, discreetly, according to the social media page “Deuxmoi”, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were seen walking with tour guides around Disney and hugging in a video shared by an anonymous person on the internet. Wearing baggy clothes, the couple tried to preserve their image.

“Enjoying the highs, learning from the lows and looking forward to what’s to come. I am blessed to have family and friends filled with so much love, joy and compassion around me.

In a more comical tone, the athlete talked about the possibility of postponing his absence from the field and returning to the NFL: “PS: The only downside of 2023 was when I was about to cancel my retirement in May and my friends threw a surprise retirement party.”

Tom Brady began his career in professional sports in the 2000s when he joined the New England Patriots, remaining for 20 seasons, establishing himself as one of the biggest names in the National Football League (NFL), and finishing his career, the player was transferred to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, even far from training camp, previously in an interview with FS1’s “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd, Tom Brady announced that in February this year he will be in the Fox Sports NFL broadcast booth as a commentator. According to information, the player had signed an agreement equivalent to US$375 million.

LeBron James responds to criticism of Lamar Jackson on social media

The NFL is on the verge of electing its Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the 2023-24 season, and one voice stands out in support of one candidate in particular: Lamar Jackson. LeBron James, star of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers, publicly expressed his support for the Baltimore Ravens quarterback to win the award.

++ Birmingham City sack manager Wayne Rooney after 15 games in charge

After the remarkable performance of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, beating the Miami Dolphins 56-19, LeBron did not hold back his criticism against what he called the ‘hatred’ directed at Lamar Jackson.

On his X (formerly Twitter) account, the star shared his opinion on the NFL MVP award, saying: “Okay, now what are you going to say about Lamar Jackson as MVP? Every time it’s a different hate when it comes to him. Give him the trophy now and more love.” These words could be interpreted as a response to recent comments that belittled Jackson’s abilities, insinuating that the talented quarterback does not fit the traditional stereotype of the position, an unfortunate comment that even carries racist connotations.

While there are other contenders this season such as Christian McCaffrey, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Tyreek Hill, and Brock Purdy, it is evident that none of them are reaching the same level of performance as Lamar Jackson. Additionally, it is notable that Jackson led the Ravens to an impressive 13-3 record. With 24 touchdown passes and a respectable ranking of 13th in passing yards, Jackson also stands out with his 821 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. Remarkably, in just six years in the NFL, Jackson became the first player to reach that mark in such a short span of time. Now, the Ravens’ number 8 joins Cam Newton, Russell Wilson and Michael Vick in the select group of the position’s best runners.
