Talking to Steve Bannon on Real America’s Voice, bin Ladin called the rioters, some of whom were arrested for having stormed the U.S. Capitol and charged with crimes from assaulting and resisting an officer to civil disorder, “patriots that are being smeared and crushed by the media, by the Department of Justice (DoJ)....

Like Alfred Hitchcock, King works best in cramped quarters: a mother and child trapped in a car by a rabid St. Bernard (“Cujo”), a bedridden novelist trapped in a farmhouse by his “number-one fan” (“Misery”). This time it’s a woman who spends most of the book cringing into the mattress. Gerald, an uptight lawyer, puts the brio back in his briefs by handcuffing his wife, Jessie, to the bedposts–then dies of a heart attack....

Will they? Universal, which made the “Mummy” movies with Sommers, is betting a fortune that this film will not only be a hit, but spin off a sequel, a TV series, a videogame and a theme-park ride, as well as bring DVD sales for its classic monster flicks back from the dead.

But in this season’s first episode, “single” was suddenly rewritten as “lonely.” “Society views single people our age as sad and pathetic,” Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) lamented after attending an awkward engagement party where she and Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) were repeatedly confronted with the question, “Seeing anyone special?” A few lines could have been scripted by the Christian Coalition. “It felt really sad not to have a man in my life who cares about me,” Carrie later said on her 35th birthday....

His comments came as British police investigate the September 17 killing of 28-year-old Sabina Nessa, whom detectives believe was attacked in Kidbrooke during what should have been a five-minute walk through a park as she headed to meet a friend. “We have got to give this issue the same seriousness we give other issues,” Khan told ITV.

The neglected dogs were living outdoors in filthy, crowded pens at the property in San Miguel County, the Humane Society of the United States said in a press release.

Rezaie worked with foreign aid organizations before the August Taliban takeover, so he feared he would be killed if he stayed. Following a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport, the two began by crossing into Iran, then Turkey....
