Pop superstar Pharrell Williams has had enough of his fellow Hollywood stars lecturing ordinary Americans on how they should vote, saying celebrities need to “shut up” about their political opinions.
Pharrell didn’t hold back when a journalist for The Hollywood Reporter attempted to pressure him into talking about the election.
“I don’t do politics,” he shot back at the outlet. “In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote fo

Read MoreCabinet yesterday expressed shock and surprise over the loss of a must-win Liberal byelection in the Prime Minister’s hometown. Justin Trudeau and 15 cabinet ministers personally canvassed in the Montréal riding of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun.
“We need people to understand what’s at stake in this upcoming election,” Trudeau told reporters. “Obviously it would have been nicer to win and hold Verdun.”
Another Montréaler, Immigration Minister Marc Miller, said he was surprised by the upset. “I was confident of winning,” said Miller.
“What happened in Montréal?” asked a reporter. “We lost,” replied Miller. “I probably take it quite personally.”
“We lost narrowly,” said Miller. “Never mind.” The Liberals’

Read MoreWhen confronted by an enemy, and you wish to prevail over him or her, it is imperative to know them. And the more powerful this enemy is, the more urgent it is to be able to gauge their character – their strengths, their weaknesses, and most importantly, their psychological disposition.
Why most important? Imagine being a professional boxer, or, for that matter, a participant in a less dangerous sport, such as tennis. Unless you know what to expect of your opponent, you don’t really enjoy the optimal probability of winning. If your opponent is the cool type, you have much less of a chance of disconcerting him or her with certain tactics, compared to someone who is easily ruffled, for instance. If they are known for gamesmanship, you have to be doubly alert for signs that they are employing dubious tactics to gain the advantage. And, of course, if gamesmanship is characteristically taken to the hilt – in other words, if they would do ev

Read MoreMy closest friend during my first pregnancy was the search bar of Google.
I had no friends to ask—I was 27; my friends were years away from having kids. My own mother couldn’t remember so many years back. Besides, she advised: “We were allowed to eat deli meats back then!”
So I’d frantically type my questions, and Google would present me with an array of unsettling and often conflicting answers from Reddit and British mommy forums circa 2005 (thank you, Mumsnet).
Then, Emily Oster fell into my lap.
I don’t remember how or when, but a copy of the economist’s book of pregnancy wisdom, Expecting Better, lande

Read MoreIn a message to its membership on Monday, the board of directors of the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) said it had made the “difficult and split decision” to revoke the status of Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR McGill) as an SSMU club, effective Sept. 5.
Article content
The message went on to say that McGill’s deputy provost had issued the SSMU a notice of default regarding the memorandum of agreement (MoA) between McGill and the SSMU. The MoA is a contract that governs the relationship between the university and the student union and allows McGill to place the student fees that fund the SSMU in a trust if the SSMU violates its own policies, its constitution or McGill policies.
Without control of its student fees, the SSMU would be significa

Before we celebrate the great wins of this week, allow me to provide a high-level overview of our current situation and draw your attention to two important actions.
In the ongoing global struggle, those of us on the side of truth and freedom are defending humanity against the parasite class—many of whom we know by name. The evidence of their premeditated mass murder of millions, and their calculated assault and abuse of all eight billion of us, is overwhelming. There is no reasonable debate left regarding their guilt or their continued ill intent.
We are many. They are few.

The four astronauts — Jared Isaacman, Kidd Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon — will spend five days in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule orbiting Earth. But they aren’t up there for a pleasure cruise: they’ll be hard at work doing various tests and experiments.
One of the most ambitious of these tests is the first commerc

He joined lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday to rally bipartisan support for the “Renewed Hope Act of 2024.”
“This bill will help build a stronger rescue team of analysts, investigators and law enforcement,” Tebow posted on X. “Will you stand with us and raise your voice to urge your congressional representatives to support and co-sponsor this bill to protect children who are being sexually abused and exploited?”

Read MoreA profound spiritual transformation is unfolding in the Amazon.
For centuries, the Catholic Church held a near-monopoly in the region. Today, evangelical Christianity is reshaping the region’s spiritual fabric, leading to new converts and churches. CBN News traveled to Brazil’s northwest Amazon region to witness it firsthand for this exclusive report.
Linger on the banks of the Amazon River and you’ll uncover more than the rich tapestry of life amid the natural splendor.
For many, such as Ramos, the river isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a sanctuary.
