America, I gave my best to you': Biden eyes legacy in emotional farewell

  It was not the speech Joe Biden wanted to give. At least, not this year, under these circumstances. But if anyone knows how quickly fortunes can change, it’s this president – whose personal and professional life has been scarred by tragedy and adversity. Speaking to a packed arena in Chicago on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, Mr Biden offered a full-throated defence of his presidency – touching on many of the themes that he campaigned on in 2020 and again this year before abandoning his re-election bid in mid-July, a few weeks after a catastrophic debate performance. "Like many of you, I gave my heart and soul to this nation,” he said, towards the end of a nearly hour-long address punctuated by raucous shouts of "Thank you, Joe". Mr Biden had walked out onto the stage after being introduced by his daughter Ashley and wife, Jill, who told the audience she "saw him dig deep into his soul" when he decided to exit the presidential race.

John Stamos claims that if his therapist hadn't assisted him in getting sober, he "probably wouldn't be here

   John Stamos believes his therapist helped save his life. “I probably wouldn’t be here [without him],” the “Full House” star, who plays a family counselor in Hulu’s “UnPrisoned,” told Page Six exclusively at the Season 2 premiere on Tuesday. Stamos shared that he’s been seeing Phil Stutz — the subject of a 2022 Netflix documentary by Jonah Hill — for “close to 20 years.” “He was big into helping me get sober,” the “General Hospital” alum further said. Stamos opened up about his  battle with alcohol  and June 2015 DUI arrest in his 2023 memoir,  “If You Would Have Told Me.” One month after his arrest, he entered a substance abuse program. “When I went to Stutz one of the first times, he said, ‘You know if you weren’t so f–king stupid you’d realize how good you have it,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right,'” he said with a laugh. Stamos, who recently  signed on as the chief innovation officer at streaming service Zeam , became such a fan of therapy that he introduced his  late “Full Hou

Defeat may be Southgate's last - but he'd leave England with head high

  Gareth Southgate has taken us on one heck of a journey over the past eight years, but I suspect Sunday’s defeat by Spain will be his last game as England manager. Right now Gareth will be hurting like hell after what happened in Berlin but my feeling is that, when the dust settles on the final of Euro 2024, he will decide he’s had enough. It should be his decision to stay or go - and I think it will be - but it is a tiring job and he has been doing it for a long time. If he does leave, he should go with his head held high because England are in a completely different place now compared to where they were when he took over in 2016. England were at rock bottom after losing to Iceland and becoming a laughing stock that summer, followed by the embarrassment of Sam Allardyce’s exit after his short stint in charge.Gareth came in and put a smile on everyone’s faces - bringing the squad together, getting us to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and then the final of the European Championship

Delayed Supreme Court ruling makes Trump trial on 2020 charges unlikely before election

 WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether presidents enjoy total criminal immunity, delaying one of the most consequential legal decisions in U.S. history and likely closing the door on former President Donald Trump facing his federal election interference trial before November. Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee who is entangled in several criminal cases, already faces a July sentencing for a New York state conviction on 34 felonies for falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 election. Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments in the immunity case on the last day of their term, April 25, and have held the case in their hands since late February. GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX SUBSCRIBE Opinions are scheduled to be released on Thursday and Friday, but the court does not disclose which ones in advance. Trump is set to debate President Joe Biden on Thursday night at CNN studios in Atlanta, with the campaign for the preside

Jujutsu Kaisen Just Proved to Be the Most Influential Modern Manga with Three New Shonen Jump Series

  There’s no doubt that   Jujutsu Kaisen ’s popularity skyrocketed in the latest years, becoming   the most popular anime in 2024 , according to Record Guiness. This success transferred to manga, making   Jujutsu Kaisen  the second-best-selling manga of 2023   and the holder of first place so far in 2024.  However,   JJK ’s impact goes beyond its popularity, as it’s changing the game in the manga industry. Even though   exorcist series have always been popular , like   Mob Psycho 100 ,   D. Gray-Man,   and   Noragami , there’s been an increasing rise in this trope since   Jujutsu Kaisen   became a worldwide hit. The immense popularity of  Jujutsu Kaisen  explains why many mangaka would seek to debut a series that emulates a bit of its success. This can be appreciated by the fact that  Weekly Shōnen Jump  will be debuting three new series starting next week, with two of these series,  Kiyoshi The Exorcist  and  Yokai Buster Murakami , being about exorcists. This shows a clear trend in t

Child benefit

  Child Benefit payments delayed with around 500,000 left waiting for their money – here's what we know so far Molly Greeves  | News & Investigations Reporter 3 June 2024 Share this Around 500,000 Child Benefit claimants are yet to receive their monthly payment for June, due today, which some say has left them unable to pay for bills and facing being hit with late payment and/or overdraft fees. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has asked people not to get in touch while it "urgently" tries to fix the problem – though it doesn't have a timeframe on how long this will take.  MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) was first alerted to the problem after concerned Child Benefit recipients contacted MSE founder Martin Lewis on social media. We're continuing to push for further information and we'll update this news story as soon as we know more.
