John Hughes’ classic 1986 teen comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is getting a spinoff about two characters who played a small but pivotal role in the original movie. According to Deadline, the new film, titled Sam and Victor’s Day Off, will follow the two titular valet employees who, in the 1986 classic, take Cameron Frye’s father’s red Ferrari for a cross-town joyride while Cameron, Ferris and Sloane Peterson gallivant around Chicago on their day off. Sam and Victor run up the odometer on the prized red Ferrari, forcing Cameron to decide how he’s finally going to confront his father, with...

The infamous and often-exaggerated cliche with the Police is that they rarely agreed on anything, despite their obvious musical chemistry. Fittingly, the band's memories of their first classic-trio show differ wildly — singer-bassist Sting seems to consider it a vital, enlightening moment, but guitarist Andy Summers looks back with disgust. Technically, it wasn’t the first Police three-piece. The "fake punk" group debuted live in March 1977, with Sting joined by co-founding drummer Stewart Copeland and Corsican guitarist Henry Padovani. (They even released an obscure single, "Fall Out," that May.) However, the trio briefly expanded into a quartet later that summer,...

Washington D.C., Aug 18, 2022 / 17:35 pm Police have arrested and charged the man believed to have vandalized St. Anthony School in Washington, D.C., last week.

The school serves grades Pre-K-8 in the Brookland neighborhood. In a phone interview with CNA, Thomasian pointed out that the only objects destroyed in the attack were Catholic symbols of the faith. “Vandalism...

ROME (AP) — Italian environmental activists staged a second museum protest in as many months, gluing their hands Thursday to the base of one of the Vatican Museums’ most important ancient sculptures, the Laocoon. The statue wasn’t damaged, said the environmental group Last Generation. Vatican gendarmes removed the three protesters and they were processed at an Italian police station. It wasn’t clear if Vatican criminal prosecutors would eventually take up the case since they have jurisdiction in Vatican City. The protesters are demanding the Italian government increase its solar and wind power and stop exploring for natural gas and reopening...

NEW YORK, August 19 (C-Fam) The European Union, along with the Biden administration are attempting to force the General Assembly to adopt a resolution that claims abortion as a human right.

Two points about a story in the news a lot recently.... 1.) An insider who recently wrote a book had told them to look in a certain place but that place was empty and they did not find anything that they were told would be there. This is because the very famous individual already knows the insider can't be trusted. This was a trap to conform his disloyalty. 2.) Among what was supposed to be there, listed on a official document, was classified information on a foreign leader with a strange marriage. The very famous person loves gossip, the more...

Kinzinger said, “Here’s what I think happens in a lot of cases. this is the FBI situation with the Republicans. You have a lot of members that know Donald Trump is a liar. They know he is insane.

Dozens of people who were part of a street takeover also looted a 7-Eleven convenience store in Harbor-Gateway, and police are asking for help identifying some involved.

Lawyers for Graham, R-S.C., had asked Judge Leigh Martin May to temporarily block an order she issued earlier this week denying his bid to quash the grand jury subpoena. They appealed the decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and asked May to put her ruling on hold during the appeals process. The Fulton County district attorney's office urged the judge to deny the request in a court filing...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo no longer has a moral center. Discussing his interview with the House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021 Thursday on Fox News, Pompeo said, “They were chasing witches, right? They were looking for discussions about the 25th Amendment, discussions that I never seriously undertook with any of my counterparts. They were looking to build a storyline, the conclusion of which was already written.”
