The Wire star Lance Reddick has died aged 60 - just days after failing to turn up to a premiere in New York. Reddick - who played Cedric Daniels in the hit crime series - died from 'suddenly' and from natural causes,' his agent Mia Hansen said. 'Lance will be greatly missed. Please respect his family’s privacy at this time,' Hansen said in a statement. Tributes poured in for the 'incredibly talented' actor after his body was reportedly discovered in his home in Studio City, California at 9.30am on Friday. Just yesterday he uploaded a photo of himself curled up...

Pfizer is recalling more than four million packages of the Nurtec ODT prescription migraine medication over a risk of poisoning to children due to a failure to meet child-resistant packaging safety requirements. The company is recalling around 4.2 million units of Nurtec ODT (rimegepant) 75mg orally disintegrating tablets, which are sold in packs of eight doses on a blister card, on Thursday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said. Anyone affected will be able to obtain a free child-resistant pouch to store the product, the commission said.

Henry Clarisey, 21, scored 2.8 million views last month as aghast TikTokers watched him choke down dog chow “for the gains.” “I tasted the dry dog food kibble, and [it] tasted like little pieces of rocks,” the Buffalo resident told The Post, recalling the gag-inducing nosh. “[It was] not comfortable at all to eat, and it was super hard to bite down on.” The gym bros of TikTok will do anything to consume more protein — and their latest indulgence is even more disgusting than a chalky smoothie.

“And the Lord said, ‘Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat’” (Luke 22:31 NKJV). Satan sifts only those who threaten his work. He goes after the tree with the most potential to bear fruit. Why was he so anxious to test Peter? Well, for three years Peter had been casting out devils and healing the sick. Satan had heard Jesus promise the disciples another baptism, one of Holy Ghost power and fire, and he trembled! Now the devil knew God’s ultimate plan for Peter. He realized that the past three years would...

A 60-year-old black man was arrested in Atlanta last month after he allegedly vandalized a historic Baptist church with spray-painted imagery of swastikas as a hanging. Atlanta Police arrested James McIntyre on February 19 in connection to the vandalism after surveillance cameras caught him tagging Providence Missionary Baptist Church on Benjamin E. Mays Drive, according to Fox 5. Officials said that during the investigation, they found McIntyre sitting across the street from the scene of the crime.

The notion that the Southern California Gas Company is seeking to raise rates by 13% borders on gross malfeasance and criminal conspiracy. Yet most of my ire is not directed at SoCalGas but rather toward government institutions like the inept California Public Utilities Commission, the vacuous California governor and much of the Byzantine California State Legislature. Yes … we can all indeed thank the political swamp that is Sacramento for our ever increasing natural gas, energy and fuel prices. Ever the political demagogue, Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding a federal investigation into high natural gas prices. The “pretty boy” Left...

As soon as the disciples heard about receiving a baptism of power, they asked, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel”? (see Acts 1). Jesus answered in no uncertain terms, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in his own authority” (Acts 1:7 NKJV). Stop and think about what their question implied. “Lord, do you mean that beginning in that room, with just us, you will restore the kingdom of Israel? Will we bring down Herod and Rome? Are we the ones to cleanse the land, set up...

Charley Pride was a great American. A professional ball player at 17 years of age. Country Music's Jackie Robinson. He adhered to the faith that God is in charge of all. He said that there's worse things than being thought Republican ........

The session drummer had been incarcerated since 1984 for murdering his motherSession drummer and Wrecking Crew member, Jim Gordon, who played for The Beach Boys, Derek and The Dominos, Steely Dan, John Lennon and many, many more, has died in a medical correctional facility, aged 77. Gordon’s death was confirmed by publicist, Bob Merlis, who states that he died of natural causes “after a long incarceration and lifelong battle with mental illness.” The troubled session ace’s already-impressive career was cut short in 1984, when he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for brutally murdering his mother in an...

Hunter Biden is suing the computer repair shop owner who said the president's son dropped off a laptop and never returned to claim it, The Washington Post reported.The 42-page lawsuit, filed Friday in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, escalates the fight over how controversial data and images of Biden were obtained almost five years ago....The data from the laptop is at the center of a congressional investigation of Biden.

"Hallowed be Thy name" (Matt. 6:9). Sound theology that results in holy living hallows God’s name. We have learned that hallowing God's name requires setting it apart from everything common, and giving Him first place in our lives. That starts with believing He exists. Hebrews 11:6 says, "He who comes to God must believe that He is." Beyond mere belief, you must also know the kind of God He is. Many people who claim to believe in God aren't hallowing His name because they have erroneous concepts of who He is. The Israelites thought they were worshiping the true God...

Sharon Stone revealed that she lost “half” of her fortune, presumably in the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. The “Basic Instinct” star broke down in tears as she accepted the Courage Award during the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s (WCRF) fundraiser Thursday and said it took “courage” for her to donate given the bank’s failure. “I know that thing that you have to get on and figure out how to text the money is difficult. I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a f–king check,” she said from the stage.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Local leprechaun, pot o' gold enthusiast, and all-around jokester Leery O'Canahan had been excited for St. Patrick's Day for months. "It's like our Super Bowl," O'Canahan told reporters. "Without the weird halftime shows." But this year it's not all drinking and shenanigans for this leprechaun. He'd entrusted all his pots of gold to Silicon Valley Bank after the investment strategy was recommended to him by Jim Cramer on Mad Money. As his deposits were worth far more than the FDIC-insured $250,000, it's now unclear if he'll ever get his money back. "It seemed like a sure...

The family of Theo Emm, aged three, have said they had only just welcomed baby brother Oliver into the world days before the tragedyA family of a three-year-old boy have told how he wanted to watch cartoons before suddenly collapsing and dying of Strep A without having shown symptoms. Theo Emm died at his home after falling seriously ill with the "silent killer", on February 18, having shown hardly any signs of illness. He had been a "bit lethargic" the night before but was feeling better by the time he went to bed. The family from Westbury, Wiltshire, had only...

Motorcycle to the U.S., But it's Not What You Think The small-displacement Harley-Davidson X350 RA will only be used in dealership training schools. It won't be offered for sale to customers. Harley-Davidson’s image is as star-spangled as anything. And in 2023, that presents a challenge: Building motorcycles in the U.S. is expensive. So when Cycle World published evidence that seemed to indicate Harley was about to import a made-in-China motorcycle to the U.S., Harley fans got notably concerned. The truth is perhaps less scary: Yes, Harley is going to import the Chinese-made bike you see above to the U.S., but...

Tributes have been paid after a 'lovely' dad died in bed as friends desperately try to raise money for his funeralA dad with "a heart of gold" died suddenly on a weekend trip to Butlins, his grieving family has said. Jonathan Gelling visited the Somerset resort with partner Caroline Conway and friends for a weekend away to watch the UK Open darts tournament earlier this month. But while staying at the family destination, 41-year-old Jonathan tragically died overnight in his bed. Caroline told how darts fan Jonathan had watched the first round of a match on Friday, March 3, before...

Explanation: Braided and serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggest this nebula's popular name, The Medusa Nebula. Also known as Abell 21, this Medusa is an old planetary nebula some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Like its mythological namesake, the nebula is associated with a dramatic transformation. The planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low mass stars like the sun as they transform themselves from red giants to hot white dwarf stars and in the process shrug off their outer layers. Ultraviolet radiation from the hot star powers the nebular glow. The Medusa's transforming...

As former President Donald Trump faces likely criminal charges, his campaign is preparing to wage a political war. With an indictment looming from the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, Trump’s campaign is laying the groundwork for a broad attack on Bragg, a Democrat. According to two of Trump’s political allies, the campaign will aim to portray any charges as part of a coordinated offensive by the Democratic Party against Trump, who is trying to become only the second former president to win a new term after leaving office. It is unclear what data points, if any, the Trump team plans...

Picture this: It's 9 p.m. on January 13, 2026 — a Tuesday — and you tune in to your favorite cable-news network to watch the president's annual State of the Union address. But this year, the president doesn't take a bulletproof limo from the White House to the US Capitol. Gone are the hundreds of members of Congress traditionally in attendance. Instead, the commander in chief is wearing an orange jumpsuit, his message streamed to lawmakers and into your living room via Zoom from his prison cell. Yes, this scenario is equally far-fetched and outlandish — in the extreme. But...

"And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. "And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." " And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." Mark, Chapter 14 1 After two days was the feast of...
