(CNN) — John Cena admitió que se siente “miope y egoísta” por haber iniciado una disputa con Dwayne Johnson hace una década, cuando se enfrentaron como grandes estrellas de la WWE.En el episodio del jueves del podcast “Happy Sad Confused”, Cena dijo que “le gustaría pensar” que la pareja —ambos se han convertido en grandes estrellas de Hollywood, compartiendo créditos en la pantalla en “Fast X” de este año— “siempre ha estado bien, excepto por un pequeño parche en el que realmente me equivoqué”.Cena se refería al momento en 2011 cuando Johnson, ya una estrella de cine, regresó a la WWE después de haberla dejado casi una década antes. En aquel momento, Cena se lo tomó como una provocación y una oportunidad para “llamarle la atención” por volver, y retarle a luchar.El actor de “Trainwreck” explicó que “egoísta”. “El hecho de que yo viviera en la WWE en ese momento y no tuviera n...

UN chief backs reform of Security Council, global financial system

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres backed the reform of the U.N. Security Council and the international financial system to align them with the “realities of today’s world.”Both the U.N. body and the financial architecture reflect the power relations of 1945 and need to be updated, Guterres told a press conference Sunday on the margins of the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, according to Reuters.“The global financial architecture is outdated, dysfunctional and unfair,” Guterres said. “In the face of the economic shocks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has failed to fulfill its core function as a global safety net.” Guterres made the same point on Saturday, writing in a tweet that it was “time to think seriously about the reform” of the international financial architecture. The U.N. Security Council came under fire in April when Russia assumed the rotating presidency of the 15-member body despite the fact that 141 countries condem...

Howie Carr: Durham Report says origin of the pee-tape hoax in the Steele Dossier is proud UMass grad Charles Dolan

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

It is now beyond argument that the greatest scandal in American political history was the Russian collusion hoax, a Hillary Clinton-financed insurrection against a duly-elected president by the FBI, Democrats, Russia and state-run media (but I repeat myself).Compared to this vast left-wing conspiracy, Watergate doesn’t even rate a footnote.The centerpiece of the monstrous hoax was the Democrats’ “Steele dossier.” And at the heart of that dirty trick was the so-called pee tape.That was the allegation that future president Donald J. Trump paid Russian prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed in Moscow that the Obamas had slept on, and that a videotape of the foul deed existed.Very fake news. And everyone of Putin’s puppets with press passes knew it, from Day One.The official DOJ report on the hoax was released last week. The local angle is that Special Counsel John Durham has identified the Democrat operative who most likely made up the pee-tape story that was used in the attempted coup:...

Bill Madden: Yankees’ offense still home run or bust, Rays coming back to reality after passing 40-game quarter mark

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

With the 40-game quarter pole having just been passed, we are starting to get a good idea as to where this baseball season is headed.Things are suddenly looking up in New York for Yankees and Mets. The Rays are good but maybe not as good as they’ve seemed. The rise of the Rangers in Texas looks real, the Padre malaise in San Diego is mystifying, and the balanced schedule has exposed the great divide between the good teams and the really bad ones in places like Oakland, Washington, Kansas City, Detroit, Colorado and Cincinnati.Here’s our capsule assessment:YANKEES STILL HOME RUN OR BUSTTHE YANKEES ARE STILL FASHIONING THEIR (JUDGE) HOME RUN OR BUST OFFENSE BUT THEY’RE BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE THE SUPERIOR TEAM IN THE AL EASTTaking three out of four from the Blue Jays in Toronto to move from last place to third was very encouraging especially since Luis Severino, Giancarlo Stanton and Carlos Rodon, counted on as three mainstays, have been on the sidelines. The gap betw...

Biden: GOP must move off ‘extreme’ positions, no debt limit deal solely on its ‘partisan terms’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — President Joe Biden said Sunday that Republicans in the U.S. House must move off their “extreme positions” on the now-stalled talks over raising America’s debt limit and that there would be no agreement to avert a catastrophic default only on their terms.“It’s time for Republicans to accept that there is no bipartisan deal to be made solely, solely, on their partisan terms,” Biden said in Hiroshima, Japan, where he attended the Group of Seven summit. Biden said he had done his part in trying to raising the debt ceiling so the U.S. government can keep paying its bills, agreeing to cut spending. “Now it’s time for the other side to move from their extreme position,” he said.Biden and U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., were expected to talk later Sunday, likely as Biden flew home on Air Force One after cutting short his trip in light of the strained negotiations. “My guess is he’s going to want to deal directly with me in making...

Ukraine says troops still engaging Russian forces in Bakhmut after Moscow announces victory in city

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian soldiers were still engaging Russian forces in fierce battles in and around Bakhmut on Sunday, military officials said, hours after Moscow and the private army Wagner announced that their troops had taken full control of the eastern city.The fog of war made it impossible to confirm the situation on the ground in the invasion’s longest battle, and a series of comments from Ukrainian and Russian officials added confusion to the matter.Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minsiter Hanna Malyar even went so far as to say that Ukrainian troops “took the city in a semi-encirclement.”“The enemy failed to surround Bakhmut, and they lost part of the dominant heights around the city,” Malyar said. “That is, the advance of our troops in the suburbs along the flanks, which is still ongoing, greatly complicates the enemy’s presence in Bakhmut.”Her comments came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the Group of Seven summit in Japan, appeared to suggest that ...

‘On the inside’: Why some Indigenous officers stick with the RCMP despite struggles

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

OTTAWA — Dean Gladue says he never experienced racism until joining the RCMP. The 26-year veteran began his career with the force in 1989 as special constable, a role assigned to police First Nations reserves. It was a rank below his non-Indigenous colleagues, who were better paid.It felt like he was “a second-class citizen,” he said in a recent interview. After the program shuttered, Gladue transitioned into a job as a regular constable. The 25-year-old Métis man would then overhear offhand comments around the office, with ones like how a “dead Indian’s a good Indian” later brushed off as stress when raised to a supervisor.“You just take the beating. You just take it,” he said.“Then as you get older, you start to realize, ‘Why did I do that?'”Gladue had been interested in policing since childhood, and saw the RCMP as a good career, especially once his pay improved. He also knew he could retire before 50, which he did.And h...

Skywatch: The parade of stars

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:36:09 GMT

Everyone knows that the sun is the brightest star in the sky, but do you know what the second-brightest is? If you said Polaris, you’re wrong, but don’t feel bad because that’s what many people think. Polaris is actually 40th. The second-brightest star seen from Earth is Sirius, a star in the winter constellation Canis Major, the Big Dog. Even though Polaris, otherwise known as the North Star, is only the 40th-brightest star, it’s a very important one.The best way to find Polaris is to use the Big Dipper. The Dipper is very high in the northern sky this time of year, nearly upside down. Draw a line in your mind’s eye between the stars Merek and Dubhe on the side of the pot section opposite the Big Dipper’s handle. Continue that imaginary line downward from Dubhe, and it will come very close to pointing at Polaris. If you make a fist at arm’s length, three fist-widths will get you to Polaris. Try it. It really works!(Mike Lynch)Polaris is wha...
