Bronson Reed has been receiving a significant push within WWE in recent weeks. His feuds with Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman both drew high ratings on television and across social media. He was rewarded by being placed into the New Bloodline's roster for its War Games match at Survivor Series. Unfortunately for Reed, he suffered an injury to his ankle and foot after hitting a Tsunami off the top of the cage at Survivor Series. According to Mike Johnson of Pro Wrestling Insiders, Reed is set to undergo surgery at some point next week. "The word making the rounds among WWE talents is that Bronson Reed will undergo surgery sometime next week for his ankle/foot injury suffered at WWE Survivor Series," Johnson reported. "Reed was injured hitting a Tsunami off the top of the cage through a table...Reed was slated to wrestle Seth Rollins in steel cage matches as part of the company's past-holiday live event week, so those lineups will change in the days to come." This injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Reed. He had finally generated some momentum within the company and had multiple big matches and angles lined up. His role alongside Solo Sikoa and the rest of the new bloodline would have helped increase his popularity with the fans, too. Now, Reed will be sidelined indefinitely. Once he returns, he must begin working his way back into a strong position. That could take months if it happens at all. Professional wrestling moves quickly. Fans will forget about his feuds while he's off television, and new storylines will take their place. There's no guarantee Rollins or Strowman will be available for new creative angles when he returns. And nobody knows where the Bloodline story will go next. Considering Reed's injury occurred during a dangerous spot within a match, which was undoubtedly part of the creative process, the hope is that WWE will do right by him once he returns. However, he may need to show some patience. Reed had earned this moment. Hopefully, when he's back and healthy, he will have opportunities to earn another big spot and can use that to springboard himself back toward the top of the "Monday Night RAW" card.
What happens next with Alex Jones' Infowars? No certainty yet after sale to The Onion is rejected
Trump’s Defense secretary nominee has close ties to Idaho Christian nationalistsMarch 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of an iconic moment in Irish sport. Trailing England with 10 minutes to go at Lansdowne Road on March 30, 1985, the dream of a Championship and Triple Crown for Ireland was fading fast. Irish captain Ciarán Fitzgerald roared at his pack: “Where’s your fucking pride?” It was galvanising. The Irish team rallied, Michael Kiernan dropped a goal in the dying minutes, game won. Three decades before, one of our greatest civil servants had a similar moment upon taking over the Department of Finance in 1956. Realising the depth of the economic trouble faced by Ireland, he wrote the ‘First Programme for Economic Expansion’ and presented it to the Government in 1958. He couldn’t use the unparliamentary language availed of by Fitzgerald on the rugby pitch, but he threw down just as galvanising a challenge to the old republican taoiseach Seán Lemass. He said if Ireland did not quickly change its economic policy to stop the rot of emigration, we should politely request the British to allow us back into the United Kingdom. That did the trick. Ireland abandoned protectionism, opened the economy to trade, and invited foreign businesses in with attractive tax policies. The turn in our census figures was immediate. Today, Ireland faces an entirely different set of challenges. Any finance minister in Europe would kill to have the problems Jack Chambers is suffering, having such a large surplus he has overseen yet another give-away budget. But real dangers abound. We cannot assume the world will remain benign for Ireland in 2025. At year-end, we are set for a return to a Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael government with Independents replacing the Greens. There has been some berating of Sinn Féin, Labour, the Social Democrats, and other left-leaning parties for their failure to form a credible proposition for an alternative government. This is unfair on two counts. Firstly, the Irish political spectrum is objectively and firmly to the left of centre. Pan-European analysis by the University Carlos III of Madrid shows Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to be only marginally right of centre parties. All others represented in the Dáil were substantially left of centre, barring Aontú. More importantly, Ireland has one of the lowest degrees of political polarisation in Europe. This is defined by how spread the political parties in a country are by their position in the left-right scale and size. A lower degree of polarisation makes it more difficult for voters to discriminate between political candidates. Secondly, and this is by no means an attack on the fourth estate, the majority of Ireland’s political and economic commentary comes from journalists who are themselves left-leaning. The significance of this is important when considering the fiscal mix of policies in the programme for Government. If political manifestos are to be believed, we will have a very high degree of spend on the current side in the next administration. This is not a good thing, but to what extent will the Government be held to account for it by the press? Barring business journalists, the media clamour is for more, not less, current spending. Our domestic view of our foreign policy is that we are an enlightened, peaceful polity, expressing a positive neutrality. In reality, EU neighbours see us as hypocritical, basking in the military and geographic shade of others, while being condescending and patronising to those who provide it. We were able to get away with that in a post-Cold War world where conflict was far away. No longer. The EU’s neighbourhood is becoming more kinetic and threatening at the very moment when all three traditional European powers are in deep crisis. The French government has fallen, and the economy is in deep fiscal trouble due to out-of-control spending. Germany is in trouble for precisely the opposite reason; extreme fiscal conservatism has crippled its investment in infrastructure and 21st-century industry. Its government has also fallen. Britain remains in denial about the blow Brexit has struck to its economy, productivity, and society. We may be lumbering to a negotiated armistice in Ukraine, but Ireland is going to have to stop talking out of both sides of its mouth on neutrality. We are, or we are not. Genuine neutrality comes with a price tag and requires social responsibility from citizens. Aside from its invasion of Ukraine, Russia is intervening actively in the electoral politics of countries it considers within its sphere of influence. All this is happening when the US is going through one of its introspective bouts of isolationism. Time for Ireland to buy a pair of long trousers. Some Americans are as concerned at recent developments as Europeans are. In The Lessons of Tragedy, Statecraft and World Order, by Hal Brands and Charles Edel, the authors pose the philosophical question as to whether politicians who have not experienced conflict or war are capable of avoiding hubris and complacency and becoming overconfident. Brands and Edel’s concerns about American politics are equally valid in consideration of our own. It is only 10 years since the termination of the EU-International Monetary Fund programme in Ireland. We walked blindly into a fiscal, property, and banking crisis that took livelihoods from tens of thousands of Irish people, increasing unemployment to 15% — a level not seen since the economic blight of the 80s. I spent six months on the dole in 2013, the same year my wife lost her job. Many seem to have forgotten how bad things got at that time. My family never has. Yet the political establishment, opposition included, has fallen back into the spend baby spend pattern, while failing to get an adequate return on investment. At the same time, the Department of Finance has lost its Whitaker zeal, and has bet our future on the continued huge tax take from the multinational sector. The incoming Government needs to take immediate corrective action in its first six months. The Department of the Taoiseach needs to stop pretending that SMEs don’t matter to the Irish economy. This will require formal recognition of the SME sector on the Labour Employer Economic Forum. Both our Vat rates must be reduced, not merely to save the hospitality sector, but because they are too high in EU terms. The tax system must again be used to encourage the provision of rental accommodation. The progressive exit of small landlords from the rental market has coincided with record-high rent levels. We need to see the reintroduction of a scheme like Section 23 in 2925. The minimum wage will rise by six times the current rate of inflation in January. This is unjustifiable and is unsustainable. In calculating the minimum wage, we must have regard to large number of high-earning public servants and multinational employees in our economy. A key requirement in the provision of housing and infrastructure is reform of our legal system, which works as if it was developed by Charles Dickens, for the sole betterment of lawyers. We need a far more muscular minister and Department of Justice in the next Government to tackle this last unreformed sector in Ireland. Our politicians and civil servants know what needs to be done. Where’s your fucking pride? Neil McDonnell is the CEO of the Irish SME Association.

How co-writing a book threatened the Carters' marriageNEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Dayle Haddon, an actor, activist and trailblazing former “Sports Illustrated” model who pushed back against age discrimination by reentering the industry as a widow, has died in a Pennsylvania home from what authorities believe was carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities in Bucks County found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the Solebury Township home. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J. Blucas of Erie was hospitalized in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak.” Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb.com, including 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway,” starring John Cusack. Haddon left modeling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to reenter the workforce after her husband's 1991 death. This time she found the modeling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,’” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estée Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company's anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s “The Early Show.” "I kept modeling, but in a different way," she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organization aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalized communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan.' Haddon was born in Toronto and began modeling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes — she began her career with the Canadian ballet company Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website . Haddon's daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.” “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said. The Associated Press

The Onion's rejected purchase of Infowars in an auction bid supported by families of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting dealt them a new setback Wednesday and clouded the future of Alex Jones' conspiracy theory platform, which is now poised to remain in his control for at least the near future. What's next for Infowars and Sandy Hook families' long-sought efforts to hold Jones accountable over calling one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history a hoax was unclear, after a federal judge in Houston late Tuesday rejected The Onion's winning bid for the site . U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said he did not want another auction but offered no roadmap over how to proceed. One possibility includes ultimately allowing Sandy Hook families — who comprise most of Jones' creditors — to return to state courts in Connecticut and Texas to collect on the nearly $1.5 billion in defamation and emotional distress lawsuit judgments that Jones was ordered to pay them. “Our hope is that when this process ends, and it will end, and it will end sooner rather than later, is that all assets that Alex Jones has available are paid to the families, and that includes Infowars, and that as a result of that process Alex Jones is deprived of the ownership and control of the platform that he’s used to hurt so many people,” Christopher Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families, said in a phone interview Wednesday. The families, meanwhile, were preparing the mark the 12th anniversary of the Dec. 14 shooting. The sale of Infowars is part of Jones’ personal bankruptcy case , which he filed in late 2022 after he was ordered to pay the $1.5 billion. Jones was sued for repeatedly saying on his show that the 2012 massacre of 20 first graders and six educators was staged by crisis actors to spur more gun control. Lopez said there was a lack of transparency in the bidding process and too much confusion about The Onion's bid. He also said the amount of money offered in the only two bids was too low and there needed to be more effort to try to raise as much money possible from the selling of Infowars' assets. The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, submitted a $1.75 million cash offer with plans to kick Jones out and relaunch Infowars in January as a parody . The bid also included a deal with many of the Sandy Hook families for them to forgo $750,000 of their auction proceeds and give it to other creditors. Lopez called it a complex arrangement that led to different interpretations of the bid's actual value as well as last-minute changes to a proposed sale order. The other bidder was First United American Companies, which runs a website in Jones’ name that sells nutritional supplements and planned to let Jones stay on the Infowars platforms. It offered $3.5 million in cash and later, with Jones, alleged fraud and collusion in the bidding process. Lopez rejected the allegations, saying that while mistakes were made there was no wrongdoing. Christopher Murray, the trustee who oversaw the auction, said he picked The Onion and its deal with the Sandy Hook families because it would have provided more money to Jones' other creditors. The next steps remained unclear Wednesday. The judge directed Murray to come up with a new plan to move forward. Murray and representatives of The Onion did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The judge said there was a possibility there could be a trial in 2025 to settle Jones' bankruptcy. He said Murray could try to sell the equity in Infowars' parent company. He also said Murray could abandon the efforts, which could allow the Sandy Hook families to return to the state courts where they won their lawsuits against Jones and begin collection proceedings against him. The judge said he wanted to hear back from Murray and others involved in the bankruptcy within 30 days on a plan to move forward. Mattei, who represented the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut lawsuit, said everyone is waiting to see what plan the trustee comes up with. Jones, meanwhile, continued to allege fraud and collusion on his show Wednesday and threatened legal action over what he called an attempted “rigged auction.” On the social media platform X, he called the judge's ruling a “Major Victory For Freedom Of The Press & Due Process." “I don’t want to have to go after these people, lawsuit-wise, but we have to because if you don’t then you’re aiding and abetting and they do it to other people. They made some big mistakes," he said. It's a solemn and heartbreaking week for relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The 12th anniversary is Saturday, and some of the victims' relatives were traveling to Washington, D.C., to attend the annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence on Wednesday evening. The families usually mark the anniversary out of the public eye. Many of the families said their lawsuits against Jones bought back the unbearable pain of losing their loved ones, as well as the trauma of being harassed and threatened by believers of Jones' hoax conspiracy. Relatives said they have been confronted in public by hoax believers and received death and rape threats. Robbie Parker, whose 6-year-old daughter Emilie was killed, testified at the Connecticut lawsuit trial in 2022 that the decade of abuse his family suffered made them move across the country to Washington state, and even there he was accosted in person. The families have not received any money from Jones since winning the trials. Jones has been appealing the $1.5 billion in judgments, and has since conceded that the shooting did happen. Last week, a Connecticut appeals court upheld most of the judgment in that state but reduced it by $150 million. Associated Press writer Juan A. Lozano in Houston contributed to this report.None
