Scott Jennings compares Kamala’s border visit to an “arsonist” returning to the crime scene

Scott Jennings compares Kamala’s border visit to an “arsonist” returning to the crime scene

Vice President Kamala Harris’ big public relations trip to the southern border was like an “arsonist” returning to the scene of the crime, said CNN’s Scott Jennings.

After the Democratic candidate’s “totally staged” visit to Douglas, Arizona, the conservative pundit predicted it was a “tactical error” by Harris and her handlers and would leave voters only to remember her disastrous performance as Joe’s “border czar.” Biden would remind The country was flooded with millions of illegal immigrants, many of them criminals.

On Friday’s edition of “Anderson Cooper 360°” on the cable network, which was one of Harris’ biggest cheerleaders, Jennings explained the Veep’s stunt with host Anderson Cooper and former Obama administration official Van Jones.

(Video: CNN)

“She was doing something at the border, she wanted him to break up with Biden,” Jones announced sarcastically. “She broke up with Biden, so I expect Republicans to give her a lot of love today.”

“Scott Jennings, are you going to give her lots of love today?” Cooper asked.

“I love Brother Van as he knows, and I mean it, I love him like a brother, but no, there will be no love from me or the Republicans for Kamala Harris today,” Jennings responded. “In fact, I think the Trump campaign line today should be ‘arsonists return to the scene of the crime’.”

“I mean, look at the last three and a half years, the border has basically been opened,” he continued. “People pouring over, ICE released information today that there are currently 13,000 non-citizens convicted of murder and nearly 16,000 non-citizens convicted of some type of sex crime in the country.”

Jennings was referring to the impressive data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement showing that over 600,000 criminal aliens have entered the U.S. and nearly 30,000 have been convicted of murder or sexual assault flow into the country through a permeable border.

“Just because we are in the shadow of an election, Kamala Harris is trying to rush and pay lip service to this issue as a tactical matter,” Jennings added. “I don’t think Harris should try to raise this issue because that is the best ground from which Donald Trump can fight. So no, I think the Harris campaign is making a tactical mistake, and I think they have very little say that the American people will accept this today.”

“According to the latest data, among criminals, 62,231 people were convicted of assault, 14,301 people were convicted of burglary, 56,533 were convicted of drug offenses and 13,099 people were convicted of homicide. Another 2,521 were convicted of kidnapping and 15,811 were convicted of sexual assault. There are another 1,845 with pending murder charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges,” Fox News reported on the pre-election bombshell that shows the “border czar” is supporting the invasion of the country has allowed dangerous individuals to have foreign criminals under their supervision.

Neither Gojo nor Itadori could have been the protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen with the ending that Gege Akutami gave to a character

Neither Gojo nor Itadori could have been the protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen with the ending that Gege Akutami gave to a character

With Jujutsu Kaisen Since the book is slowly losing momentum and is almost coming to an end, the leaks for the final chapter have already caused a stir. The biggest mistake Jujutsu Kaisen Slowly, the serious lack of focus on the characters and the unanswered mysteries became apparent. Despite spending so much time with them, we know little to nothing about them and their characters are not fleshed out enough.

Yuji Itadori, the beloved protagonist, had been through a lot since the Shibuya arc, but that was about it. Fans are confused about where or what his domain extension is or what he might end up doing. Likewise, the famous Gojo Satoru, who is also known to non-anime fans, died far too early. So if the fan favorites couldn’t get the spotlight Jujutsu Kaisenthen who did it? Unfortunately the answer is Sukuna.

Spoiler alert!!!

Spoilers for the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen and the Shinjuku Showdown Arc!

The main characters are great but irrelevant

The majority of the characters Jujutsu Kaisen have been well received by the masses. From their eccentric personalities to their attractive looks, Gege Akutami nailed most aspects. Yuji Itadori is a charming protagonist who later suffers a lot and we see him become the hardened protagonist he is now.

Gojo Satoru isn’t just an all-powerful mentor; The pressure to be the strongest is enormous and he has lost too much. Megumi Fushiguro, the boy with so much potential, struggles to find his place in the world of jujutsu sorcery. Maki has suffered so much abuse and oppression at the hands of the elitist, misogynistic Zenin clan. However, in the long run, none of this matters.

After the Shinjuku Showdown arc, the plot started to fall apart. After Gojo Satoru’s tragic death, everyone else was left to pick up the pieces. Sukuna was essentially invincible and it was impossible to give him an advantage after taking over Megumi’s body.

Fans witnessed the deaths of several characters, some of which were incredibly unnecessary, before Yuji finally defeated him. In the end, surprisingly, it was Sukuna who developed the most. He admitted defeat and was a comforting figure to Uraume, something we never thought possible. But why did Gege lose focus on her main characters and elevate Sukuna?

The flaw in Gege Akutami’s character writing

Gojo is trapped in the Prison Realm by Jujutsu Kaisen.

Fans were rightly excited about the return of fan favorite Gojo Satoru, but the strongest wizard was killed off in a disappointing way. It almost felt disrespectful to his character and we all know Akutami notoriously dislikes him. Still, this isn’t a good excuse for how incomplete the author left the storylines of several other major characters. Instead, Akutami gave Sukuna a very powerful conclusion, even though fans were looking forward to his demise for several chapters as he gleefully murdered many.

Sukuna’s conclusion in the manga is undeniably quite interesting. The King of Curses has always been a fascinating character that you love to hate after a while. Unlike Mahito, he learns what loss and defeat are and accepts them. However, it doesn’t really explain why the main characters are incomplete and their development is almost nil. The main trio is largely reduced to the ambitious “power of friendship” trope. Sukuna Ryomen is essentially treated as the main character in the end, despite the lack of Heian-era lore and the hasty defeat.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available on VIZ Media.

Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders Preview and Prediction

Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders Preview and Prediction

The Cleveland Browns Could use a real game and this came just in time Las Vegas Raiders.

With news from Max Crosby And Davante Adams Since I would miss this game due to injury, a loss in Sin City would be more embarrassing than either of the Browns’ two losses so far this season. The Raiders are a team that is largely rebuilding right now, with a young roster and a fluid QB situation at the top Gardner Minshew at the moment.

The veteran QB has found some success throwing the ball this season, with Las Vegas boasting a top-four passing attack through three games. They average 244 yards through the air, but conversely are the worst rushing team in the league. They are also one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, allowing more than 152 yards on the ground per game.

Brown’s safety Grant Delpit called this a “must win” for his team. From the outside it certainly feels that way. Will Cleveland take care of business?

Sunday is simply a must win for the Cleveland Browns after their incredibly disappointing loss last week. Luck is on their side as the Raiders will lose both Crosby and Adams and the Browns will have to take advantage of the opportunity.

I think Kevin Stefanski and this offense will try to shrink the football game by leaning on the running game. I don’t think it will look pretty, but it will be effective. Cleveland’s defense will slam the door and the offense will do enough to get back on the plane with a 2-2 record.

Despite the gloom surrounding the Cleveland Browns right now, this team is still very much in the running for the AFC North. The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens are also struggling, while the Pittsburgh Steelers may have the toughest second-half schedule of any team.

After losing at home to the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season, the Browns played an excellent first half against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I expect a similar scenario to play out. Cleveland lost at home to another NFC East opponent, the New York Giants, and will play a flawless first half against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Without Crosby and Adams, it became much more difficult for the Raiders to beat the Browns. Once again, Cleveland won’t break the 30-point mark, but they manage enough to win another low-scoring game.

A 2-2 start to the year certainly isn’t the end of the world considering how bad the Browns have been so far.

Cleveland broke my streak of correct picks last week against the New York Giants, so this week it’s time to redeem myself.

On paper, this should be a win for the Browns. The Raiders are in the middle of a quarterback controversy after Minshew’s rough start against the Carolina Panthers. However, second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell looked good coming into the game last week, going 9-for-12 with a touchdown.

For the Browns to pull off a win on the road, the defense will need to step up and limit any type of production to relieve pressure from the quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Without Adams and Crosby in this game, the Raiders have absolutely no business winning this game. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that their head coach Antonio Pierce has really gravitated towards them after last week and a desperate, challenged football team can be a scary thing.

There’s also the context of what Minshew did with Indianapolis last year against the Browns, when he threw for 305 yards and scored four total touchdowns. However, this Raiders offense doesn’t have the talent to help him, especially without Adams.

In the meantime, this should be a good game for the offense. Whether or not they can put it all together seems like a big question at this point, but I’m reluctantly trusting that they’ll do enough to pull away from a losing Raiders team.

“’Saturday Night’ (The Movie) versus ‘Saturday Night Live’ first episode: fact check

“’Saturday Night’ (The Movie) versus ‘Saturday Night Live’ first episode: fact check

The new film Saturday evening chronicles a significant 90 minutes and changes in television history: the period immediately before the premiere of Saturday Night Live on October 11, 1975. Director and co-writer Jason Reitman used his connections in the film industry (formed by his father, comedy director Ivan Reitman, who worked with many). SNL People in movies like Ghostbusters(and immortalized by his own career as a director) to interview people who were there that night and compile various stories into a fictional version populated by countless real-life characters. The resulting film is bursting with energy and neuroses, as producer Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle from The Fabelmans) struggles to formulate his vision for the show, convinced that everything will come together in the end. And of course it was like that, and it is like that in the film.

Except for the stuff that’s mostly made up.

Yes, of course Saturday evening takes some creative liberties with the TV story to both heighten the tension and provide some signposts that viewers who aren’t well-versed in comedy stories might recognize. Most noticeably, this means tinkering a bit with the content of the episode itself – which is easy to do since only the first sketch is shown in full. This sketch, an absurd bit in which a bespectacled, pipe-chewing teacher (author and short actor Michael O’Donoghue) teaches nonsensical English phrases to a student with an accent (John Belushi), is faithfully recreated in the film. The rest of the episode is only seen in parts before it airs: abbreviated rehearsals, sound checks, and pitches for sketches that the film suggests were in the works around the premiere, but in some cases didn’t appear for weeks/months/ years later. (No, Dan Aykroyd’s famous Julia Child sketch was probably not edited 60 minutes before the first episode and about three years before it actually aired.)

As it happens, the first episode is available in its entirety on Peacock; Because the first five seasons were licensed for complete DVD sets, these episodes tend to be larger and less abridged than many of the following seasons. This makes it possible to carry out a kind of fact check on the hyped film.

CHEVY CHASE LIVE FROM NEW YORK

The first part of the episode is accurately depicted in the film. George Carlin delivers a brief monologue, followed by a fake ad for “New Dad,” an insurance policy that replaces a deceased father (Dan Aykroyd) with a stand-in (Chevy Chase), and then Billy Preston performs “Nothing from Nothing.” Song that also appears in the film. Janice Ian’s “At Seventeen” is also featured in a rehearsal scene that doubles as a pinprick into the film world. The film takes Andy Kaufman’s famous “Mighty Mouse” performance by having Kaufman (Nicholas Braun) perform it for the suits and crew, as a sort of proof of concept, literally minutes before the show begins; Kind of gratuitous, but fair enough that the film wanted Kaufman to do more than just stroll around the studio.

Contributions from other artists are mentioned in the film; Braun also plays Jim Henson, who created Muppet characters for an inappropriate feature film in the first season. But Henson is treated as a kind of abstract, self-contained nuisance – and even more egregiously as something of a humorless idiot who doesn’t agree with it SNL Writer. It was true that Henson and his fellow Muppet artists (who were prevented from writing their own material by union rules) couldn’t handle it SNL Writers who resented their assignment to develop material for the characters. But the film portrays Henson as slightly humor-impaired and a little appalled by the writers’ provocative sensibilities, when in reality Henson was anxious not to be pigeonholed as a creator of children’s entertainment, and tried hard to do so SNL Appearance. (Given the elaborate technical nature of his multi-actor “Land of Gorch” segments, he probably wouldn’t have wandered the studio halls alone either.) The “Gorch” segment in the first episode definitely doesn’t work That’s all good, but the movie strangely downplays the logistical challenge it would have presented, reducing it instead to Henson nagging Michaels about not getting script pages and hating her when he finally does. The film goes easier on Albert Brooks, another star of the first season who didn’t stick around long; In a cast that is clearly and repeatedly described as being pressed for time, his comparatively interminable four-minute filmed piece never elicits even the slightest grumbling.

But where Saturday evening What really deviates from the reality of the episode that aired is the sheer number of sketches that were supposedly included in the mix for that night’s broadcast. The film attempts to convey the sheer volume of material Michaels had to contend with – multiple comedians and musical guests, fake commercials, sketches, a short film and a Muppets segment – while throwing in both overt and microscopic references along the way future classics that may not have been in the works so early.

SATURDAY EVENING (2024) FILM STREAMING

Oddly enough, while there are recurring references to a skit about Alexander the Great at his ten-year high school reunion (which, according to Laraine Newman, was actually cut at the last minute); a sketch about female construction workers learning to objectify men (which appeared in the season’s sixth episode); and several Dan Aykroyd segments that didn’t air until his fourth and final season, several short skits that actually aired in the first episode aren’t even seen in the film. There’s a courtroom sketch about a sexual assault, which the film seems to omit entirely, and a sketch about a fake shark bite victim, which the film quietly lets the audience assume is the first appearance of the Land Shark- could be a character who was first seen in a film a few weeks later. Even stranger, the film seems to ignore the existence of George Coe, an older actor who was only mentioned as part of the cast in the first episode, but appeared on camera several times and made further guest appearances in several episodes after that. This is perhaps the most glaring example of Reitman’s print-the-legend approach.

Which the film conveys more clearly than some of the written stories about it SNL is how full the first episode is. Saturday evening keeps circling around the image of a familiar cardboard panel on which Michaels has to decide how to arrange various segments in a 90-minute show that apparently lasted closer to three hours in dress rehearsal. Although the first episode ends up being relatively poor in actual sketch comedy, with several quick commercial parodies and most of the actual sketches well under the three-minute mark, it is also surprising compared to descriptions of how little it resembles today’s series agile. This tends to imply something slower and less confident, less revealing, than it would be as the cast grew into their various weekly roles. But if anything, this first episode is surprisingly brisk, if scattered. In the most recent 49th season (and many before), the show typically includes about a dozen segments: Cold Open; Monologue; Weekend Update; two musical performances; one to three pre-written sketches, music videos, or fake ads; and four or five live sketches. The first episode has over 20 segments. That’s the truth Saturday evening With all its embellishments and exaggerations, it gets to the point: That in 1975 SNL was still clarifying when it aired.

The University of Wisconsin fires the porn industry’s former chancellor, who wanted to stay on as a professor

The University of Wisconsin fires the porn industry’s former chancellor, who wanted to stay on as a professor

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to fire a communications professor who wanted to keep his job after he was fired as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for producing pornographic films. Joe Gow, who had served as UW-La Crosse’s chancellor for nearly 17 years, argued last week that he should be retained in a teaching position on campus. But the university’s lawyers argued that he behaved unethically, violated the terms of his employment contract, damaged the university’s reputation and compromised its mission. The regents met in closed session Friday morning before publicly voting to fire Gow. There was no public discussion before the board vote. Gow said he is considering filing a lawsuit to keep his teaching job. He did not immediately respond to a message Friday morning. Gow has been on paid leave from his faculty position since the regents fired him as chancellor in 2023, shortly after university leaders became aware of the videos posted on pornographic websites. The case has drawn national attention both for the salaciousness of a high-ranking university official making pornographic films and speaking publicly about them and for the questions it raises about free speech rights. Gow argued that his videos and two e-books he and his wife Carmen have published about their experiences in adult films are protected by the First Amendment. The university’s attorney argued that Gow’s videos themselves were legal, but that they were not protected by his employment contract. Zach Greenberg, an attorney at the free speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, called the regents’ decision “a major blow to…” academic freedom and the right to free speech.” “FIRE has said time and time again: Public universities cannot sacrifice the First Amendment to protect their reputation,” Greenberg said. “We are disappointed that the UW has caved to donors and politicians by alienating a tenured professor.” Republican lawmakers already view the Wisconsin university system as a liberal incubator. Last year they forced the company to scale back its diversity initiatives. System President Jay Rothman has tried to avoid further angering conservatives as he seeks approval for an $855 million increase in the next state budget. Gow’s hope of teaching in the classroom again was rejected by his department head, Linda Dickmeyer. She said because Gow hasn’t taught in 20 years, he will be assigned general education courses, but she refuses to allow him to return to teaching in any role. Gow was criticized in 2018 for inviting porn actress Nina Hartley to give a talk on campus. She received $5,000 from tuition fees for her performance. He came up with the idea of ​​bringing her to campus after filming a pornographic video with her, the university said. Gow and his wife’s e-books were written under the pseudonyms “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enhances Our Relationships” and “Married with Benefits.” Our real-life adventures in the adult industry.” But they also star in a YouTube channel called “Sexy Healthy Cooking,” in which the couple cooks meals with porn actors.

How about the upload speed? Here you will find everything you need to know

How about the upload speed? Here you will find everything you need to know

When choosing a home internet service, it’s important to find a plan with the speeds you need, as well as download and upload speeds.

The information highway is not a one-way street. It’s more like a four-lane, busy highway on one side (downloads) and a two-lane, low-traffic road on the other side (uploads). While this road is certainly less traveled, you may find it difficult to get around the internet if it closes.

CNET Home Tips logo

What do you use these upload speeds for? And What is a good upload speed for your home?? You can find the answers below. You can find more WiFi tips here The best place to put your router to speed up your internetand our tips for them best wireless routersThe best mesh routers and the best WiFi extenders.

Of course, download speeds are most important

Almost everything we use the internet for depends on download speed. You probably don’t think about it when you stream the latest version House of the Dragon Episode or online shopping for one new iPhone case, but this activity involves downloading data from the Internet.

What determines how quickly and easily you can download this data – i.e. how well it does Streaming Quality is how quickly the website and images load – your download speed.

The faster your speed, the better your experience is likely to be. Speeds of 100 Mbps and higher are often sufficient download speeds, but what constitutes a “good” download speed varies depending on the household and the number of devices connected.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Apple iPhone 14 Pro

You can download a lot while using the new iPhone 14, but uploading is important too.

James Martin/CNET

But fast internet upload speeds will come in handy

I bet you Really Don’t think about it when you post your cat’s seventh video on Instagram today (go ahead!), or when you’re logged in zoom for a meeting, but both everyday activities involve uploading data to the Internet.

Also consider this: If you’re looking for House of the Dragon HBO MaxYou enter data and send it to the Internet – this is an upload. When typing “new iPhone case” Type in the search bar and press Enter. You upload data. When someone “likes” your cat video (it’s possible it was me), they upload data. Admittedly, you don’t need particularly high upload speeds for this, but you’ll still be using the upload side of your connection.

Here are some other ways we use upload speed:

  • Video chats via Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, etc.
  • Play online
  • Submitting work or homework and working and learning from home in general
  • Voice over IP calls
  • Post on social media

What determines how quickly and easily you can complete these tasks? You guessed it: your upload speeds. When it comes to your upload speed, again, faster is better, but you can also get by with upload speeds that are slower than your download speed.

The FCC defines 20 Mbps and above as broadband

For nearly a decade, the FCC considered upload speeds of 3 Mbps and above broadband. However, recently the FCC updated its broadband definition to 100 Mbps for downloads and 20 Mbps for uploads. I would recommend upload speeds of more than 20 Mbps where available, especially if there are multiple people in your household working or studying from home.

Still, 20 Mbps should be enough to meet most minimum requirements for applications like Skype and Zoom. Skype recommends at least 100 kbps for calls and 512 kbps for group video chats with seven or more people. Zoom is a bit more demanding, requiring an upload speed of at least 600 Kbps for 1:1 video calls and 3.8 Mbps for 1080p HD video group calls.

Keep in mind that these are minimum speed requirements for a single device. Therefore, you will likely benefit from much faster speeds.

How to find out your internet upload speed

A good speed test gives you an idea of ​​your upload speed. Run a few speed tests with different devices in different locations around your home to get an overall impression of your connection’s upload speed performance.

If your upload speed is slower than you think, check out our list of common speed performance issues and how to fix them. And for more tips on how to improve not just your internet connection, but everything that keeps your home running, be sure to check out our CNET Home Tips section.

Dame Maggie Smith dies – latest: King pays sincere tribute to ‘national treasure’; Co-Star Says Actress ‘Very Upset About Being Old’ | Ents & Arts News

During her long and successful career, Dame Maggie Smith played a number of roles.

From a witch in the Harry Potter film series to the Dowager Countess of Grantham from Downton Abbey, the 89-year-old has won several awards for her performances.

Here is a summary of their most famous characters.

Professor Minerva McGonagall

From 2001 to 2011, she played Hogwarts professor Minerva McGonagall, who was the head of the Gryffindor house, in the Harry Potter film series.

She was also the deputy headmistress under Professor Albus Dumbledore, played by Richard Harris and, after his death, by Michael Gambon. Gambon died a year to the day before Dame Maggie.

In this role she reunited with Daniel Radcliffe, having already starred alongside him in 1999’s “David Copperfield”.

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham

From 2010 to 2015 she played the quick-witted matriarch Violet Crowley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, playing a central role in the success of the ITV series.

The role won her three Emmy Awards and she continued to play the character in the spin-off films Downton Abbey (2019) and Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022).

Jean Brodie

Dame Maggie won her first Oscar for Best Actress in 1969’s The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.

In the film she played the uninhibited teacher at an all-girls school in Edinburgh in the 1930s.

In the film, the teacher devotes her energy and attention to the girls she deems special or malleable and ends up leading them into disastrous situations.

Diana Barrie

The actress won her second Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1978 for “California Suite,” in which she played actress Diana Barrie.

In the film, her character is nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress in an Independent British Film for the first time, but she knows she has no chance of winning.

Throughout the film, Diana denies the nature of her marriage of convenience to Sidney Cochran, a gay antiques dealer who is increasingly open about his sexuality.

Mary Shepherd

In 2015, Dame Maggie played the role of Mary Shepherd in The Lady In The Van.

The film told a mostly true story about Shepherd, an elderly woman who lived in a run-down van on a north London driveway for 15 years.

The film is based on a memoir by playwright Alan Bennett, in whose driveway Shepherd lived from the 1970s to 1980s.
