Former President Donald Trump denied reports that he has fallen asleep during certain moments of the hush money trial, insisting that he is still awake even if his eyes are closed.
Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, “Contrary to the Fake News Media, I don’t fall asleep during the Crooked D.A.’s Witch Hunt, especially not today. I simply close my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen intensely, and take it All in!!!”
The notion that Trump dozed off largely started during jury selection, when Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reported that Trump “appeared to nod off a few times, his mouth going slack and his head drooping onto his chest.” She wrote that his attorney, Todd Blanche, “appeared to jolt” Trump awake so that he would notice notes that he had passed to him during the proceedings.

Ajay Devgn Plays Syed Abdul Rahim In Maidaan (Photo Credit – Youtube/Wikipedia)

He was the football coach whose training earned us gold medals in the Asian Games twice – in 1951 (Delhi) and 1962 (Jakarta). It was under his mentorship that the Indian National Football team reached the semi-finals of the Summer Olympics.
In the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, India was the first Asian country to reach the Semi-Finals in football. He was the most successful coach of the National Football Team of India.
However, Syed Abdul Rahim’s career and coaching were also put under scanner before the 1962 Asian Games when his selection for the National Team was accused of being biased and preferential.

Up until recently I worked the night shift in a hotel, so I know how creepy it can feel at times, especially when you’re getting used to the place with all of the building’s odd little noises and quirks. That’s the position Gwen finds herself in.
Recently moved into the area and in need of money, she’s answered an ad for a temporary overnight position at the All Tucked Inn. The owner Teddy, who seems to be making his story up as he goes along, tells her the woman who regularly does the job has been sidelined with medical issues. He’d love to stay and help, but he has a date. But there’s nothing to worry about, this is a quiet, peaceful place where nothing ever happens.

One of the biggest pieces of evidence the Justice Department has against Donald Trump is a 2021 recording of the former president showing off an attack plan against Iran, admitting the plan is still classified because he didn’t declassify it while he was in office. CNN released audio of the recording Monday night. It’s every bit as damning as the indictment indicated.
Trump doesn’t think so, of course. In fact, he thinks the smoking-gun audio clears him of any wrongdoing. “The Deranged Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the DOJ & FBI,...

E. Jean Carroll was steadfast in the face of cross-examination from Donald Trump’s attorneys during the second day of testimony in her civil trial against the former president on Thursday.
“You were supposedly raped?” asked Joe Tacopina, one of Trump’s lawyers.
“Not ‘supposedly,’” Carroll responded. “I was raped.”
“Those are the facts,” Carroll added when Tacopina countered that her description was simply her “version” of events.
In 2019, Carroll accused Trump of having sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a New York department store sometime in the ‘90s.

Witch Hunt isn’t a bad movie since it has a reasonably solid premise, but like a lot of movies, the issue comes in the acting, the dialogue, or the lulls that are often used to build the emotional content of the movie. In this manner, this feature

You would think that the worlds of horror and professional wrestling would meet and make magical beautiful music together, wouldn’t you? Both are brash, bright, crazy and incredibly fun when they’re good. Sadly… both are bloody awful if done poorly. I’ve seen a few movies that have attempted to blend horror and wrestling and I’m yet to see one that has done it particularly well. So… is Parts Unknown, directed and written by Richard Chandler (Witch Hunt), a wrestling horror flick that manages to blend the two mediums into an entertaining film?
It’s a simple premise, as you’d expect, with a violent family of wrestlers (not sports entertainers) who look for another way to satisfy their lust for blood.

Producers behind the Terry Crews micro-budget drama “John Henry” are taking a victory lap this week, as their film has found an exhilarating second life and wide viewership on Netflix.
In a period that saw dominance from the second season of the Christina Applegate series “Dead to Me,” and stiff feature competition from the Michelle Obama documentary “Becoming” and the continued reign of Chris Hemsworth’s “Extraction,” the Crews film stood tallest — rating as the number one movie on Netflix this Wednesday, according to the platform’s own top ten list.
“John Henry” comes from debut writer-director Will Forbes, and producers Maurice Fadida, Eric B. Fleischman and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones. UTA Independent Film Group sold the project to L.A.-based Saban Films last year, which bowed in a quiet limited theatrical run in January.
Early this week, Fadida and Fleischman noticed only in browsing the Netflix app that their film had become available.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. That’s a quote from Samuel L. Jackson’s classic Jules Winnfield character from Pulp Fiction. But it could also sum up the feelings behind today’s early tweetstorm from President Donald Trump.
Complaints about the Do-Nothing Democrats and moving the G-7 from his Doral golf course topped the list of inequities in the early communications. They were interspersed between shout-outs to Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Fox & Friends appearance, Apple’s decision to build in the USA, and backlash against impeachment in the polls in swing states for the 2020 presidential election.
We’ll post as more communications roll in later today. The tweetstorm so far:
Democrats going back to their Districts for Thanksgiving are getting absolutely hammered by their constituents over the phony Impeachment Scam. Republicans will have a great #2020 Election!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced that she is launching an impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, after the revelation that he asked a foreign leader to investigate the son of Joe Biden, a potential political rival in 2020.
Standing before a row of American flags in the nation’s capital, Pelosi said, in an announcement carried across the broadcast and cable networks, “The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law.”
Throughout the day, the news networks built up anticipation to Pelosi’s 5 p.m. Et announcement. First came coverage of a Q&a that Pelosi had at The Atlantic Festival, where she kept her comments to a minimum. Then reporters staked out in the basement of the Capitol, where Pelosi was meeting with members of the Democratic caucus to decide on next steps. In the corner of the screen, CNN even ran a rising tally...

Culture Shock will premiere on Independence Day under Hulu’s Into the Dark banner, a year-long series of 12 feature-length horror productions that are released one-per-month and were “inspired by a holiday.” Culture Shock was directed by Gigi Saul Guerrero – her feature length debut – working off a script she wrote with Efren Hernandez & James Benson, story by Hernandez & Benson.

Writer-director Elle Callahan’s next film will be Witch Hunt, a supernatural thriller about an America where fugitive witches try to evade callous authorities. Production will get underway this summer in Los Angeles. Paradigm and UTA Independent Film Group are handling sales for the film.
Callahan’s follow-up effort to Head Count (which was released June 14 through Samuel Goldwyn) will star Gideon Adlon (Blockers), Abigail Cowen (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), and Christian Camargo (The Hurt Locker).
The premise: “In a modern America where witches are real and witchcraft is illegal, Witch Hunt follows Claire (Adlon), who must face her own demons and prejudices as she helps two young witches elude authorities to seek asylum in Mexico.”
Witch Hunt has a title that evokes the era of McCarthyism but its themes speak to turbulent contemporary American topics with a story that straddles the southern border shared with Mexico.
