Caitlin Elizabeth Clark (born January 22, 2002) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes and is regarded as one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. Clark is the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer and was a two-time national player of the year with the Hawkeyes. Since her college career, she has helped popularize women's basketball, a trend known as the "Caitlin Clark effect." Clark attended Dowling Catholic High School in her hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa, where she was named a McDonald's All-American and rated the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN. In her freshman season with Iowa, she led the NCAA Division I in scoring and earned All-American honors. As a sophomore, Clark was a unanimous first-team All-American and became the first women's player to lead Division I in points and assists in a single season. In her junior season, she was the national player of the year. She led Iowa to its first national championship game. Clark again led Division I in assists and set Big Ten single-season marks in points and assists. As a senior, she repeated as national player of the year and helped Iowa return to the national title game. Clark became the Division I women's career and single-season leader in points and three-pointers and broke the all-time conference record in assists, while leading the nation in both points and assists. Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft. During her rookie season, she was named to the WNBA All-Star Game. She set league single-season and single-game records in assists, broke the rookie scoring record, and became the first rookie to achieve a triple-double. At the youth international level, Clark has won three gold medals with the United States, including two at the FIBA Under-19 Women's World Cup, where she was named Most Valuable Player in 2021.

John Cleese Defends ‘Very Bad Joke’ About Trump and Hitler Comedian John Cleese appeared to realize what he had done when he tweeted late in the day on Tuesday a list of five ways that “Hitler was preferable to Trump,” including “He fought for his country” and “He never played golf.” He only came up with two ways Trump was better than Hitler: “1. He doesn’t practice genocide 2. He has nicer hair.” “I would like to apologise for my last tweet,” he added four minutes later. “It was a very bad joke, especially on Boxing Day.” (Matt Wilstein/Daily Beast 12/27/23) READ MORE>>>>> |

Obama Knew Clooney Was Going to Call for Biden to Drop Out. He Didn’t Try to Stop Him
BEFORE PUBLISHING HIS bombshell op-ed in The New York Times, George Clooney reportedly sought counsel from a friend: former President Barack Obama. On Wednesday, the Academy Award-winning actor — and longtime Democrat — published an opinion piece in the Times calling for President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign, and allow the party to select a replacement for November’s presidential ticket. The frank assessment of Biden’s mental and physical decline sent shockwaves through Democratic circles. Less than a month ago, Clooney had hosted a $30 million, star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles on Biden’s behalf. Obama and Biden had shared the stage for an interview conducted by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. (Rolling Stone (7/11/24) READ MORE>>>>>

New lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy' Combs from woman who discovered he filmed her assault
Attorney Gloria Allred revealed that she is filing a lawsuit against rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs from one of his accusers, who only recently learned there was a video of her alleged rape. According to the filing posted by judicial reporter Meghann Cuniff, Thalia Graves is suing Combs along with his companies, alleging that Combs and bodyguard Joseph Sherman "viciously raped her at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York." Cuniff was one of the employees at the studio and was "lure[d]" into a meeting with the two men, the lawsuit alleges. Once "sequestered," the men gave her "a drink, likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness." When she woke she was "bound and restrained."
