President Trump has had a rough go of it since inciting a deadly mob to storm the Capitol and overthrow democracy last week.
He’s been suspended from Twitter, he’s staring down a second impeachment, and his approval rating is at an all-time low. On Monday, however, he received the most devastating piece of news yet: The Professional Golf Association has decided to pull the 2022 PGA Championship from the president’s private club in New Jersey.
He’s “gutted” by the move, reported Maggie Haberman of The New York Times.

Still one of Tracy and Hepburn’s best, this follow-up to Adam’s Rib works on all levels. It rings the feminist rights gong just hard enough, and drums the notion that women deserve a chance to achieve their potential without sex discrimination getting in the way. Katharine Hepburn is at her most attractive when being athletic. Some fine star-making supporting action adds to the fun, especially the contribution of a young Aldo Ray.

The sun will sneak by a rooster before sports promoter Mike Conovan (Spencer Tracy) lets opportunity pass him by.

Chicago – When Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Comcast Senior Executive VP David L. Cohen gather the press corp to represent the company’s “Internet Essentials,” it’s sure to become a benefit for the City of Chicago. The Essentials program seeks to close the “Digital Divide” – the gap for web access in poorer communities – and bring the internet to everyone’s home.
The program has been an amazing success so far. In the five years of Internet Essentials, Comcast has connected 750,000 families nationwide, with 43,000 families (172,000 people total) newly plugged into the web in Chicago. In addition to the connections, Jackie Joyner-Kersee (National Spokesperson for Internet Essentials) and David L.

Actor, wrestler and American football star whose hardman roles included Mongo in Blazing Saddles
In Mel Brooks's 1974 film Blazing Saddles, the enforcer Mongo rides into town on a Brahma bull, and knocks out a horse with one punch. "Don't shoot him, it will just make him mad," the townspeople advise Sheriff Bart. Later, Bart asks Mongo about the things he's done. Looking up with puppy eyes, the hulking villain says: "Mongo only pawn in game of life."
Alex Karras, who has died aged 77, was a natural to play Mongo, with his larger-than-life body and rubbery face, which he could contort in exaggerated clowning, or soften to suggest his slyly sympathetic wit. Some of those skills he learned as a professional wrestler, and even as a novice actor he stole scenes from comedians as talented as Cleavon Little or Gene Wilder. Karras went on to have a successful career as a character actor,...
