The Good Place star wrote that he’d teamed up with Arts in the Armed Forces (AITAF) to work on all-academy screenings at four military academies, where he would select a movie and then participate in a virtual talkback session. He said after offering three films, Malcolm X was selected, much to Harper’s excitement. He continued, saying that days before the event two of the academies reached out and said they wouldn’t take part in it due to a September 22 “Executive Order on Combattng Race and Sex Stereotyping....

Preliminary reports from American and Iraqi military officials reported that Iran fired 22 missiles at both Al Asad Airbase in western Iraq and at the airbase near Erbil in the north. Two Defense Department officials told Newsweek that 18 ballistic missiles struck Al Asad Airbase alone. The attacks wrecked one Blackhawk helicopter and damaged a runway air traffic control tower. Three missiles slammed into the base’s runway, leaving large craters....

The veteran, identified as Carlos Zapata, shared his grievances and warned about impending citizen revolt in comments to a panel of county authorities. A video of Zapata’s remarks surfaced on a few social media platforms and Reddit in the days following Shasta County’s public meeting. “I went to war for this country,” Zapata said in the video. “I’ve been in combat and I never want to go back again, but I’ll tell you what....

The story of the Yiddish-speaking bubby with the Harvard educated grandson has been told so often—in fiction and in life—it’s become an American cliché and a reference point for subsequent generations of immigrants. American Jews have documented their own journey so thoroughly and in so many brilliant, hilarious and accessible variations, the efforts of a documentary filmmaker to package it all in one television extravaganza is a bit puzzling. Nevertheless, starting this week and unfolding in three weekly, two-hour segments, PBS stations will air “The Jewish Americans,” directed by David Grubin....

Whatever Miller has said outside the ring has been backed up inside the squared circle thus far; he stands undefeated with a 22-0-1 record, including 19 KOs. He attributes that to his overall fighting experience. Before Miller put on the boxing gloves for good, he started kickboxing at age 14. As an amateur, Miller went 14-0 with seven knockouts; as a professional, he went 21-2 with nine KOs competing for GLORY and K-1....

Miller answered that question with a definitive statement, finishing off Dinu in the fourth round with a vicious combination to earn his second knockout in less than two months. Moments after winning, Miller didn’t waste time calling out other heavyweights, including the reigning king of the division. “We want AJ, but AJ is a little busy,” a victorious Miller said in the ring, referencing unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua....

The Orlando Magic players were warming up before the scheduled 4 p.m. tipoff, and the Bucks players were never seen. A few minutes before tipoff, the referees left the court in an apparent attempt to get the Bucks to the floor. Then, the Magic players followed suit. When the clock read 0:00 to end pregame warmups and start the game, no players or referees were present. The Magic refused to accept a win by forfeit, according to one report....

Move over Messi - This is Neymar’s night That’s how fans of Olympiakos and Besiktas would have felt when Patrik Andersson paired the Greek champions with the Turkish giants in the last 16 of the Europa League. The presence of Premier League behemoths Manchester United in the competition is sure to capture the imagination of those who are paying attention, while clashes between powerhouses such as Lyon and Roma, or the all-German stand-off awaiting Borussia Monchengladbach and Schalke are equally exciting prospects....

So ended another inconclusive chapter in America’s effort to gain control of Baghdad’s bloody streets. U.S. commanders are determined to track down men like Abu Deraa and capture or kill them. But the hurdles seem to grow ever larger. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki also says he wants to see Deraa and others brought to justice. Yet within hours of last week’s operation, he roundly and unexpectedly condemned the raids and, a few days later, effectively nixed further efforts by ordering U....

Arradondo took the stand on Monday in Chauvin’s trial for the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old man who was declared dead at the hospital after being in police custody. Arradondo rejected an argument from Chauvin’s attorney that the former officer was following his training and told a jury that while Chauvin’s use of force may have been acceptable at first, it went on for far too long. When Arradondo viewed a video of the arrest from a city security camera, known as a “milestone” video, he said nothing jumped out of him that was out of the ordinary....

The head of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, Lieutenant Bob Kroll, posted an image of the “Cops for Trump” T-shirt on his personal Facebook page over the weekend, the Star Tribune reported. It features an American flag in the shape of Minnesota with three law enforcement badges alongside it. Kroll wrote that the shirts would be available for purchase at the union’s headquarters on Monday and will later be sold online....

A SurveyUSA poll released Wednesday shows Smith leading Lewis, a former congressman whose candidacy has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, by only 1 percent. It found that 43 percent of voters favored Smith compared to 42 percent for Lewis. Another 12 percent said they were undecided, while 3 percent said they would vote for a third party candidate. Smith’s lead is well within the poll’s 5 percent margin of error....

Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said Thursday that while people are justifiably angry about the death of George Floyd while in custody of Minneapolis police officers, they should also be careful. “People are moved to want to speak and to want to gather in solidarity and in protest, and we certainly honor and respect that right,” Malcolm said in a Star Tribune report. “As we know, large gatherings do pose a risk in any epidemic, but certainly where we stand today with the state of COVID-19 spread in our community....

Roughly one dozen Minnesotans traveled by bus from Twin Cities to London, Ontario last Friday to purchase insulin for a fraction of its cost in the U.S. The group reportedly made the trip, in part, to raise awareness and criticize the fast-growing costs of medical care in America. “This one was purchased in Canada for $34 and this one in the United States for $380,” Deb Souther, a member of the group, told Fox 9....

The fire is near Greenwood Lake and grew to around 3.1 square miles by Tuesday. Around 75 residences were under evacuation orders, the U.S. Forest Service said, as Lake County sheriff’s deputies and emergency management personnel arrived at people’s homes to tell them to evacuate. The wildfire was reported on Sunday and the state’s National Guard was deployed that night by Governor Tim Walz. Walz said in a statement that the National Guard’s support “will be critical to responding to these wildfires....

People forget how it was in 1979 and 1980 when Reagan was seeking the nomination for president in a crowded field of Republicans. It was the wisdom of most of the other contenders and of most Republican Party leaders, too, not to mention of practically everyone in Democratic politics, that Reagan was: too old, too extreme, too marginal and not nearly smart enough to win the nomination. The Democrats, in fact, when they weren’t chortling about him, were fervently hoping he would be the nominee....

The amount of running is definitely a factor. Some people assigned female at birth who run longer distances (>30 miles per week) report increased stress associated with running, as compared to those who run middle distances (15 to 30 miles per week), suggesting there may be a correlation between the stress response and a missed period. Missing one period is usually not cause for concern, but it most likely means you didn’t ovulate that month....

Andrew Devers, 25, disappeared on Friday, June 18, near a hiking trail in North Bend, Washington, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office. The 25-year-old reportedly survived on berries and river water until he was eventually found by a trail runner. King County Sheriff officers, along with trained search and rescue volunteers, had been combing the area around North Bend’s Middle Fork Campground in search of Devers last week....
