<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Irish actor Brenda Fricker, best known for her performances in “My Left Foot” and “Home Alone 2,” died Thursday evening at age 81.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her agent Phil Belfield </span><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/17/brenda-fricker-dead/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> TMZ that she passed away peacefully in her home in Dublin from an undisclosed illness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We will never see her again and the world is less for the lack of her,” Belfield said. “I was honored to know, love, and work with her, and she will always have a place in my heart and in the heart of so many film and TV fans the world over.&#8221;<br />

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon has been appointed to screen New York judges despite having no legal training or experience whatsoever.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The leftist activist and failed gubernatorial candidate was just appointed to serve on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson, as the New York Post first </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2026/07/16/us-news/cynthia-nixon-appointed-to-panel-that-screens-recommends-ny-judges/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Commission’s mandate is a powerful one: the Constitution requires that the Governor choose Judges of the Court of Appeals only from the nominees of the Commission,” the panel’s website says. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nixon, who is a fervent supporter of “trans rights” and other radical leftist causes, ran for governor in 2018 and endorsed democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor last year. Her appointment to the commission is seen as yet another negative consequence of Mamdani’s win.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is part of the damage [Mamdani] will do to NYC. Long after he’s gone the effects of the leftist lunatics will continue because they will be [embedded] in public offices. F*ck everyone who voted for this snake,” one X commenter </span><a href="https://x.com/nypost/status/2077834145141502154"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nixon describes herself as “the mother of a proud trans man” and has </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sex-and-the-city-actress-rallies-over-trans-medical-procedures-for-minors"><span style="font-weight: 400;">spoken publicly</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about the issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My wife and I, our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people, young and old… but especially young,” the actress said at one New York rally last year. “My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago,” she continued. “…the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they could receive the highest care and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nixon described President Trump’s inauguration and subsequent executive order to protect children from irreversible gender procedures as “horrific” and “an assault.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the past, the “SATC” star has also </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cynthia-nixon-denounces-anti-shoplifting-laws-stealing-basic-necessities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">denounced anti-shoplifting laws</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and has </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candidate-new-york-governor-cynthia-nixon-calls-frank-camp"><span style="font-weight: 400;">referred to</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a “terrorist organization” all the way back in 2018.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy told the Post that Nixon’s appointment proves that things are going downhill in New York. “Appointing a celebrity activist with zero legal background to help shape the future of our judiciary sends the wrong message entirely,” she told the outlet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is part of a broader trend in New York: politics increasingly taking precedence over public safety and common sense,” Komatireddy added. “At a deeply critical time when New Yorkers are demanding safer streets and greater confidence in our institutions, our leaders should be focused on restoring trust in the justice system and not turning judicial appointments into a political game.”</span></p>

<p>Singer and convicted sex offender R. Kelly made an official request to President Trump to have his 31-year prison sentence commuted, prompting a response from the White House.</p>
<p>The Chicago Tribune first <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/14/r-kelly-trump-sentence/">reported</a> this week that the request was made and that Kelly was seeking a reduced sentence rather than a full pardon. The disgraced R&amp;B singer was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking in 2021, then convicted of producing child pornography in a separate 2022 federal trial in Chicago.</p>
<p>A White House rep confirmed the request was made but did not indicate if or when it would be approved.</p>
<p>“This appears to be a random submission through the public portal which anyone can submit an application through,” the spokesperson said in a statement, as <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/r-kelly-trump-commute-prison-sentence-sex-abuse-1235594301/">reported</a> by Rolling Stone. “The submission of a pardon request should not be interpreted to mean anything other than an individual has chosen to submit a request. The team that reviews clemency requests at the White House is not tracking this request at this time. The White House has a thorough review process for all clemency requests, with the President being the ultimate decider.”</p>
<p>Kelly’s attorney, Beau Brindley, has been seeking Trump’s help in reducing his client&#8217;s sentence since last year, and specifically asked that the singer be removed from prison and put on house arrest due to alleged safety concerns.</p>
<p>The singer’s legal rep claimed that three prison officials recruited a terminally ill inmate to kill the singer, promising him early release if he complied.</p>
<p>“The only thing that can protect Mr. Kelly behind the prison walls now is the fact that now the world is watching,” Brindley wrote in a statement last year. “We will call on the courts and President Trump to help put an end to the corruption that now threatens Mr. Kelly’s life.”</p>
<p>The motion was denied, as The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/16/r-kelly-donald-trump-appeal-commute-prison-sentence-ntwnfb">noted</a>.</p>
<p>Kelly isn’t the only recording artist seeking Trump’s help to get out of jail. The White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-denies-rumors-of-an-imminent-pardon-for-diddy">shot down rumors</a> last fall that a presidential pardon for rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs was imminent.</p>
<p>Diddy is currently serving a four-year sentence after being found guilty of two prostitution charges. He was facing up to 20 years in prison following a high-profile trial in New York, but was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.</p>
<p>TMZ broke the story of the pardon in October and said it stood by the story even after the White House denied it. As of now, Diddy is still in prison.</p>

<p>Acclaimed actor Sam Neill passed away this week at the age of 78, and while most people remember him for his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in the Steven Spielberg blockbuster &#8220;Jurassic Park,&#8221; my immediate thought was of one scene in the 1990 thriller &#8220;The Hunt for Red October.&#8221;</p>
<p>In that film, Neill played Soviet Captain Vasili Borodin — serving under Captain Marko Ramius, who was played by the late Sean Connery. When Ramius reveals his plan to defect to the United States, his loyal second-in command is ready to follow him. But knowing nothing beyond his life in the Soviet Union at the height go the Cold War, he struggles to wrap his brain around the concept of liberty.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Hunt for Red October (5/9) Movie CLIP - Living in America (1990) HD" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P8JW75Lv25k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me,&#8221; Borodin begins, his dreams getting bigger with every word. &#8220;And I will have a pickup truck &#8230; maybe even a &#8216;recreational vehicle.&#8217; And drive from state to state &#8230; Do they let you do that?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I suppose,&#8221; Ramius replies.</p>
<p>&#8220;No papers?&#8221; Borodin is incredulous.</p>
<p>&#8220;No papers, state to state,&#8221; Ramius repeats.</p>
<p>Borodin continues: &#8220;Well then, in winter I will live in &#8230; Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, at least,&#8221; Ramius agrees.</p>
<p>Spoiler alert: Borodin is killed before the end of the film and never gets to realize his dream. His last words are, &#8220;I would have liked to have seen Montana.&#8221;</p>
<p>But in his real life, in his own way, Neill lived out that Soviet&#8217;s dream.</p>
<p>Born in Ireland, Neill moved to New Zealand with his family when he was just seven years old, and for the rest of his life, he felt more connected to his adopted home than to his birthplace.</p>
<p>Even after reaching the heights of fame — in major releases such as &#8220;Jurassic Park,&#8221; &#8220;The Hunt for Red October,&#8221; &#8220;Event Horizon,&#8221; and more — and building a film career that spanned more than five decades, Neill often preferred the open space and quiet he found at home, making acclaimed pinot noirs at his Two Paddocks winery.</p>
<p>Neill filled his life with animals, many of whom he named after his celebrity friends, joking that the names were meant to ensure that he&#8217;d never eat them. He always asked friends&#8217; permission before naming animals after them, he said, and noted that &#8220;many of them then take an interest in their namesakes. Helena Bonham Carter is always keen to know if she’s calved again.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I am so honored to have a pig named after me,&#8221; actress Annette Bening told Kelly Clarkson on her eponymous show in 2024 — and then revealed the reason she&#8217;d been so tickled to have Neill recognize her in that way.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, it’s Sam Neill! I mean, oh my god. I have a crush on him, I’m just going to put it out there,&#8221; she admitted.</p>
<p>For Neill, the move to a simpler existence was about balance. He loved acting to the very end, but it was his animals and his wine-making venture that truly made him happy. As he told the West Australian, &#8220;I’d like the vineyard to support me but I’m afraid it is the other way round. It is not a very economic business.&#8221;</p>
<p>As it turned out, he loved the feeling of caring for the land and creating something with his own sweat and toil.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a ridiculously time- and money-consuming business. I would not do it if it was not so satisfying and fun — and it gets me pissed once in a while,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I wanted to produce a good pinot noir that would, at the very least, be enjoyed by my family and friends &#8230; <span style="font-size: 16px;">Frankly, my friends will pretty much drink anything, so this didn&#8217;t seem too hard.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Neill was far from alone in his desire to embrace the simpler things. Story <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weekend-plans-with-gary-sinise-the-most-patriotic-actor-in-america">after story</a> has surfaced in recent years highlighting celebrities making the move away from industry hubs such as New York and Los Angeles, particularly when it means they can raise their children away from the Hollywood bubble.</p>
<p>What is it about the simpler existence that&#8217;s so appealing? Maybe Neill had it right all along: There&#8217;s something truly gratifying about the idea that you can pour your own blood, sweat, and tears into a project and create something that wasn&#8217;t there before — whether it be a healthy family, your own peace of mind, or just a really good pinot noir.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stand-up comedian Margaret Cho posted a video on her Instagram mocking the death of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and expressing her hope that another prominent Republican will die next.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 57-year-old celeb said in the video, “Bye, Lindsey Graham … bye, Lindsey! From the closet to the coffin, real seamless,” referencing rumors that the senator was secretly gay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Um, also, yeah Mitch McConnell,” she went on. “So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham … it does happen in threes. Hope!” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cho is believed to be indicating that the third “death” would be President Trump. Senator McConnell (R-KY), however, is not actually dead. On the same day Cho&#8217;s video was shared, McConnell </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-28-days-of-silence-mitch-mcconnell-offers-proof-of-life-from-hospital"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a proof of life photo and message from his hospital bed and promised that he “still has unfinished business to complete” following his recovery from a fall and a bout of pneumonia. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even people who commented on Cho’s post took exception to her celebration of Graham’s death.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You can disagree with a politician and still act like a decent human being,” one Instagram commenter wrote. “Mocking someone’s death says more about you than it does about him. A real comedian creates laughter; they don’t confuse cruelty and outrage with humor.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Man I&#8217;m not a fan of Lindsay Graham but I would never be happy for someone&#8217;s death. Yikes!” another person added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graham, one of the Republican Party’s most influential voices on national security and a close ally of President Trump, unexpectedly died at 71 after what his office described as a “brief and sudden illness,” as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-sen-lindsey-graham-dead-at-71-after-brief-illness?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=U.S.+Sen.+Lindsey+Graham+Dead+At+71+After+Brief+Illness"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. His death is being openly </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lefty-ghouls-are-already-celebrating-lindsey-grahams-death?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Lefty+Ghouls+Are+Already+Celebrating+Lindsey+Graham%E2%80%99s+Death"><span style="font-weight: 400;">celebrated</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by far-Left agitators and Iranian media personalities, among others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cho certainly falls into the former category. Recently, the stand-up comedian went on record saying she had wanted to participate in the gay hockey drama “Heated Rivalry” but ultimately decided against it because she was afraid of being “detained at the border” after filming in Canada. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Like, it kills me,” Cho </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-hating-actress-rejects-role-in-gay-hockey-drama-over-fears-of-ice"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of turning down the role. “And it’s all because of Trump.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress/comedian also caused controversy in 2023 after saying she hoped Disney would incorporate more LGBT themes into children’s content. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I would love to see them everywhere,” Cho said of “queer characters” in kids’ films. “I would love to see trans characters and different types of people in roles of, like, Disney princess, Disney prince, and Disney everything.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think this would be really important and it’s a move towards the future,” she added. “It’s a move towards who we are. I think it’s really admirable and really exciting.”</span></p>

Leftist Comedian Celebrates Death Of Lindsey Graham, Hopes For More

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor Sam Neill, best known for his role in the iconic Steven Spielberg classic “Jurassic Park,” died unexpectedly on Monday at the age of 78.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His family shared a </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DauK0SrT6uJ/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">statement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the actor’s passing on Monday morning. “It is with immense sadness that the whānau [extended family] of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney, Australia,” the statement began.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterized his whole life,” the statement continued. “The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neill announced in 2023 that he had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, but in April of this year, he was declared cancer-free.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor, who was born in Northern Ireland, was instantly recognizable for his starring role in “Jurassic Park,” but Neill almost didn’t get the role as there was a lot of competition in Hollywood. Ultimately, the star was picked for the part of Dr. Alan Grant after Harrison Ford turned it down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I like playing villains and bad guys, characters with moral ambiguity, because, in a way, they are easier to play,” he </span><a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-06-13-ca-2614-story.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the Los Angeles Times when the film debuted in 1993.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also appeared in films including “The Hunt For Red October” and “The Piano” along with popular television shows such as, “The Tudors” and “Peaky Blinders.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1993, Neill </span><a href="https://www.twopaddocks.com/the-story/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">opened a vineyard</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in New Zealand and saw its continued success as being a major part of his legacy beyond his film career.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He said during an interview with Esquire U.K. in 2016, “It doesn’t matter how popular an actor you are, nobody will remember you forever. Acting is ephemeral so it’s nice if you can leave something behind, like a great wine or a beautiful house that has a legacy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neill is survived by four children and eight grandchildren. Neill&#8217;s son Andrew was placed for adoption when he was a baby, and he and Neill connected later in life and developed a relationship, which the actor detailed in his memoir, “Did I Ever Tell You This?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neill was previously in a long-term relationship with New Zealand actress Lisa Harrow and was later married to Japanese makeup artist Noriko Watanabe from 1989 until 2017.</span></p>
<p>The actor took pride in his craft and was not interested in the celebrity lifestyle.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // a-font-body-m ">“I do hope I’m not a celebrity because … I think it’s two different jobs,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2023. “You can be an actor — hopefully a very good actor — but it’s another job to be a celebrity, and that’s one you can sign up for or not. And I never signed up for that. I’ve avoided that like the plague.&#8221;</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // a-font-body-m ">“The winemaking thing is absolutely half my life and has been immensely rewarding, and it’s very different from everything else that I do. I’m sort of … half-farmer, half-thespian, if you like,” Neill said.</p>

Beloved ‘Jurassic Park’ Star Dies At 78

Death

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey addressed speculation that he could replace disgraced Maine Democrat Graham Platner in the U.S. Senate race, revealing that he seriously considered a run before deciding against it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The former “Sexiest Man Alive,” 60, said he gave the idea &#8220;real thought&#8221; before concluding he could make a greater impact outside elected office. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Over the past several days, I’ve been asked a question more than once: Would you ever run for the United States Senate?” Dempsey </span><a href="https://www.pressherald.com/2026/07/08/why-im-not-running-for-us-senate-patrick-dempsey/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in an op-ed published in the Portland Press Herald earlier this week.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, he decided to stick to his day job. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As I reflected on all of this, I kept coming back to one question: Do I truly want to serve in Congress?” he wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“After a lot of thought, I realized the answer is no. Not because public service isn’t honorable — it absolutely is. But because I believe I can contribute more effectively through the life I’ve already built,” Dempsey said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He ended the piece by encouraging fans to help others no matter what.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “That’s the work I want to keep doing. So no, I’m not running for office. But I am asking something of the people who do,” he wrote, encouraging the community to “Lead with humility. Tell the truth. Put people before party.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dempsey&#8217;s comments come as Democrats search for a replacement after Platner </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-video-shows-disgraced-graham-platner-doing-house-chores-after-campaign-imploded"><span style="font-weight: 400;">suspended his campaign</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the U.S. Senate after a series of scandals — ranging from his Nazi-themed tattoo and raunchy social media posts to allegations of troubling behavior, sexual assault, and even rape.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several names have since been floated online as potential replacements, including anti-ICE children’s content creator Rachel Accurso, known as “Ms. Rachel.&#8221; </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Filmmaker Justin Baldoni publicly addressed his legal battle with former &#8220;It Ends With Us&#8221; co-star Blake Lively for the first time Wednesday night, saying he and his wife chose to remain silent throughout the litigation until the case was resolved. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say, because Lord knows we have,” Baldoni said in a video he posted alongside his wife, Emily. “But it just felt like every time we went to make a video like this, we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. It just didn’t feel like the right time, and we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying about it.”</span></p>

<p><script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emily agreed, saying there was “so much to say” about the drama with Lively. </span></p>
<p>“We’ve had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things,” Emily Baldoni said. “Like, how could something like this even happen? Let alone disguised as a fight for women.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baldoni said he intentionally didn’t add to the conversation until the case was settled. The filmmaker also thanked all his supporters for listening to his side.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You have given your time to fight for us, and thank you does not feel like enough,” he said. “But we’re here, in large part, because of so many of you and all of our friends and family. One thing that we’ve learned is that when God presses the reset button and everything else is stripped away, that’s when love shows up, and we feel so loved.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The legal drama between the former co-stars started in December 2024 when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliation, and attempting to “destroy” her reputation. This came after she starred opposite Baldoni in “It Ends With Us,” a film he also directed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baldoni fervently denied the claims and filed a countersuit against his co-star and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. The judge dismissed the countersuit in June 2025. The parties reached a settlement in May 2026. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baldoni also sued The New York Times for $250 million in a defamation claim for an article about the situation, which he says is “rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions.” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady joked Tuesday that Egypt&#8217;s stunning World Cup collapse against Argentina may have surpassed the infamous &#8220;28-3&#8221; comeback from Super Bowl LI. </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Yeah so that might top 28-3 🤯</p>
<p>— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) <a href="https://x.com/TomBrady/status/2074554217361010904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brady took to social media minutes after Argentina rallied from a 2-0 deficit late in the second half to defeat Egypt 3-2 and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals. </span></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah so that might top 28-3,&#8221; Brady joked.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brady’s reference to &#8220;28-3&#8221; is a nod to the Patriots&#8217; comeback from a 25-point second-half deficit against the Falcons, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history and Brady&#8217;s fifth Super Bowl win. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Argentina entered the match as the favorite, but Egypt struck first just 15 minutes in, with Yasser Ibrahim scoring. The Egyptians carried a 1-0 lead into halftime before appearing to put the match away when Mostafa Zico scored after an earlier goal had been disallowed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the brink of elimination, Argentina scored three times between the 79th minute and stoppage time. Cristian Romero began the comeback before Lionel Messi tied the match and Enzo Fernández scored the game-winner in the second minute of added time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Egyptian collapse immediately drew comparisons to some of the biggest blown leads in sports history, including the Atlanta Falcons&#8217; infamous loss to Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brady&#8217;s post suggests Egypt&#8217;s collapse could rank alongside, or even surpass, the Falcons&#8217; meltdown as one of sports&#8217; greatest blown leads.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The score &#8220;28-3&#8221; has become shorthand for spectacular collapses in sports and is often cited whenever a team &#8220;chokes&#8221; and squanders a seemingly insurmountable lead. Coincidentally, the match between Egypt and Argentina took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, home of the Falcons.  </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Notorious anti-Trump singer Bruce Springsteen claims that criticizing President Trump actually makes him a patriot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I believe in critical patriotism,” the New Jersey-based entertainer said during his recent PBS special, “Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He added, “I believe that’s the definition of a patriot, you know, that you love your country so much that you are willing to look at it clearly, recognize its faults, encourage it to be a better place, and believe that you carry in your heart the country that is waiting.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Springsteen recently ended his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which was filled with political protest and Trump-bashing galore, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nobody-cares-bruce-springsteen-mocked-for-tirade-against-trump">reported</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The far-left singer, 76, made endless political statements during the tour, both on and off the stage. “There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous sh*t going on out there right now,” he said during his Manchester stop.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now. In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the topic of the Trump administration targeting illegal aliens for deportation, Springsteen said, “They are removing residents off American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In my country they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society,” the singer said at another point. “They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But Trump has not accepted the criticism in silence. Recently, the president made his opinion known, calling for a MAGA boycott against Springsteen and his shows.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” the president </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116334990675013056"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, echoing what many on social media were saying. “The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America.”</span></p>

<p>Conservative NFL kicker Harrison Butker was reportedly the only Kansas City Chiefs teammate denied an invitation to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift&#8217;s massive New York City wedding.</p>
<p>Despite being teammates with Kelce since 2017, Butker did not make the guest list of approximately 1,000 people, an NFL source told the Daily Mail. It&#8217;s believed that every other player on the team received an invite, the report noted.</p>
<p>Butker made journalists&#8217; heads spin two years ago when he praised stay-at-home mothers during a commencement speech at Kansas City&#8217;s Benedictine College, a Catholic school.</p>
<p>&#8220;How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?&#8221; Butker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-star-chris-jones-defends-harrison-butker-amid-backlash-and-hes-not-alone">said</a> during the commencement speech. &#8220;Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”</p>
<p>“It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker,” he added.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear, however, if Butker&#8217;s remarks had anything to do with the apparent wedding invitation snub. Following the controversy, Kelce actually spoke highly of his kicker, though he said he disagrees with Butker&#8217;s views.</p>
<p>&#8220;I cherish him as a teammate,&#8221; Kelce said. &#8220;He&#8217;s treated friends and family that I&#8217;ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes down to his views &#8230; those are his,&#8221; the three-time Super Bowl champ added. &#8220;I can&#8217;t say I agree with the majority of it, or just about any of it, outside of just him loving his family and his kids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kelce and Swift tied the knot on Friday at Madison Square Garden. As noted by The Daily Wire, comedian Adam Sandler served as the officiant at the wedding. Kelce bonded with Sandler while filming “Happy Gilmore 2.”</p>
<p>“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture,” Swift’s team said in a statement. “Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”</p>
