Dozens of former campaign staffers for billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Democratic presidential campaign have come forward to demand payment and health care benefits they say were promised in return for leaving lucrative jobs and even moving cities.

In 2007, he screamed “I’m a man! I’m 40!” into the mainstream vernacular at a time when the Cowboys were starting to emerge as a Big 12 contender. Oklahoma State has maintained that status heading into the 2020 college football season — with a loaded offense capable of putting up 40-burgers in the Big 12 and perhaps ready to take a run at ending that losing streak against five-time defending conference champion Oklahoma....

When photos from the set of Greta Gerwig’s highly-anticipated movie emerged earlier this year, fans couldn’t get enough of the Australian actress, 32, and her co-star Ryan Gosling in their eye-catching costumes. However, filming a movie outside with so many people watching was not such a great experience for Robbie. “I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” Robbie said during an appearance Tuesday on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon....

Truckers began the protest in downtown Ottawa last week and have faced scrutiny from the Canadian government, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying they should go home. Since the launch of the fundraiser in support of the protests’ organizers, supporters donated C$10 million—about $7.9 million—to the now-defunct page on GoFundMe, which said Friday it would refund contributions to any donors. The company first halted the fundraiser on Wednesday. Greene called for the company to be “arrested for theft” and told her followers that “no one should use their site” in a five-minute video posted to her account on the conservative social media site Gettr....

“I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies,” Greene said while appearing on Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports. “So on January 21, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden....

Greene dismissed the claims made by Laura Loomer, an anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist who twice ran for congressional office in Florida, after she claimed the Republican and her former office intern Milo Yiannopoulos were working together to sabotage Trump’s chances of winning the next presidential election.

Greene has regularly rallied against mask requirements in Congress’ lower chamber and been an outspoken critic of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). On Friday, Greene shared a Newsmax article detailing the changes and took aim at Pelosi in her accompanying comments. “Well I wasn’t going to wear a mask anyways,” Greene said. “Speaker Maskhole never cared about covid, she only cares about power & control.” Greene pointed to measures that had been put in place earlier in the pandemic, such as plastic screens in the House, and said Pelosi “brought covid positive members in the Capitol....

The congresswoman made the comment about the GOP’s new direction during an interview during CPAC in Dallas, Texas, on the Trump-supporting Right Side Broadcasting Network on Friday, August 5.

Cuban’s main qualifications for the interview? He’s rich and famous and he’s a loud, proud and frequent critic of Trump. He maintained that latter stance Tuesday. He was blunt in assessing Trump’s executive order last week that temporarily halted the arrival of refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries and barred most people from those nations from enter the U.S. STEELE: NBA speaking up as NFL stays silent “The ban was half-ass, half-baked,” Cuban said, per a transcript of the interview....

Cuban demonstrates that he and many of the other executives behind woke capital condition their devotion to “social justice” on both economics and politics. While such candor is to be appreciated to an extent, the problem is that the true cost of doing business with communist China is not reflected in one’s profit and loss statement. It is not just that it corrodes one’s soul to transact with a ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that, on top of its repression of the Uyghurs, throws pastors in jail and demolishes their churches, forcibly harvests dissidents’ organs and cracks skulls in Hong Kong while it crushes its people’s freedom in broad daylight....

The Mavericks owner attended his team’s 113-97 win over the Nuggets on Wednesday night, which became the last NBA game of the evening when the Pelicans-Kings game in Sacramento was canceled due to coronavirus concerns.

Whistleblower Frances Haugen detailed her allegations in several media appearances before testifying about Facebook to the Senate Commerce Committee’s consumer protection subcommittee on Tuesday. Hours later, Zuckerberg insisted that Haugen’s claims “don’t make any sense” in a lengthy Facebook post. “At the heart of these accusations is this idea that we prioritize profit over safety and well-being,” Zuckerberg wrote. “That’s just not true… The argument that we deliberately push content that makes people angry for profit is deeply illogical....
