The franchise’s next entry, simply billed as John Wick in the trailer itself, promises a whole new set of dangers for Keanu Reeves’ titular former assassin. After making himself a target for virtually everyone in the criminal underworld, John has a globetrotting journey of action and survival ahead of him. But that doesn’t mean he’s alone. He’s got some old friends showing up. Granted, at least one of them does admittedly want to kill him, apparently....

It seems Biden has had a change of heart. After all, Biden’s trip comes two years after a presidential campaign in which he pledged to make the Saudis “pay the price, and make them in fact the pariah that they are.” At the time, Biden was channeling the ginned up indignation directed against the Saudis, and MBS in particular, due to the fact that Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi—a Saudi-born journalist who had a falling out with Riyadh and subsequently fell under rival Qatar’s sprawling ambit of influence—was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018....

As the former Vice President and California senator took the stage, Biden chose to greet Harris with the words: “Go easy on me, kid.” While the 2020 Democratic frontrunner’s quip was likely a reference to the two contenders’ sparring during the first primary debate last month, many on social media condemned the comment as “sexist” and “diminishing.” “Kid? She’s a grown woman Biden,” wrote BAFTA-award winning television writer Dominic Mitchell....

The Biden-Harris campaign has unveiled Biden HQ, the name of the presidential candidate’s island, where players can visit, take virtual selfies with the vice president’s avatar and add some pro designs to your Nook Phone featuring designs based on the Biden-Harris campaign. If you want to take a look at Biden HQ before heading there yourself, or if you don’t own Animal Crossing: New Horizons and want to just check it out, Greg Miller and Gary Whitta of Kinda Funny Games gave a virtual tour on their channel, which you can watch below....

The poll, which was conducted by Morning Consult, asked 1,390 Democratic primary voters, “whom they would vote for if the primary or caucus were held in their state today.” The poll was conducted on Thursday, March 5, and it has a margin of error of three points. According to the poll, 54 percent of Democratic primary voters named Biden as their first choice, while 38 percent chose Sanders, giving Biden a lead of 16 percentage points....

While Biden signed on Friday an emergency determination to speed up the refugee resettlement process, he upheld former President Donald Trump’s cap on refugees, keeping it at 15,000 for this fiscal year. “We will use all 15,000 slots under the new Determination and work with Congress on increasing admissions and building back to the numbers to which we’ve committed,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan tweeted on Friday. Biden had pledged to raise the refugee ceiling in February, but his commitment has been interrupted by increased concerns that masses of migrants arriving at the southwest border have overwhelmed the administration’s ability to process refugees, a senior administration official told The New York Times....

The poll, which was conducted by Public Policy Polling for NM Political Report and published Tuesday, found that 53 percent of voters in the state back Biden while just 39 percent support Trump. That’s a lead of 14 percentage points for Biden, although the polls margin of error was plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. Latino voters in New Mexico were even more likely to support Biden than the average voter in the Southwestern state....

Median approval of U.S. leadership across 46 countries and territories stood at 49 percent in early August last year but appears to have slipped back in the second half of 2021, according to a new report from Gallup. Gallup reported on Tuesday that median approval for U.S. leadership stood at 43 percent across 70 countries and territories in the second six months of 2021—after the drawdown of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, which ended on August 30....

Two major polls conducted over the last two weeks show that the president’s approval rating has fallen, while analysis from poll tracker FiveThirtyEight shows a decline in Biden’s approval over the past month. That decline comes at the worst possible time for the president as Democrats battle to retain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, with polls showing positive signs for Republicans’ chances of taking both chambers....

The new AG, yet to be announced by Biden, will take charge in a fraught landscape. An investigation into the president-elect’s son Hunter is underway, with him having announced the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware is looking into his tax affairs. Biden has said he has “great confidence” in his son, telling CBS’s Stephen Colbert he thinks the accusations are “kind of foul play.” While there is also the potential of further cases focused on President Donald Trump, in addition to those already underway, with further pressure potentially looming as protections granted to him as the president disappear once his tenure ends....

The 37-year-old, who played for Chelsea between 2003 and 2010, will work with various age groups, including the under-18s and development squad, while continuing to study for his coaching qualifications. “It has always been our philosophy to have a number of ex-players involved in our coaching structure so they can pass on their unique experiences and what it means to play for Chelsea,” head of youth development Neil Bath said on Friday....

But before Flacco can play, he’s got some painful work ahead, rehabbing his left knee from surgery in December to repair a torn ACL and MCL. Those injuries cost him fhe final six games of last season. The question now is whether he’ll be ready for the start of training camp in July.

“I should probably say this because I haven’t yet. My 4/20 show that’s sold out in Vancouver—I don’t think that’s happening,” Rogan said on a December 24 episode of his podcast. “I don’t think I can even get into the country. I’m not vaccinated. I’m not gonna get vaccinated. I have antibodies. It doesn’t make any sense.” Rogan, who had COVID-19 in September, was scheduled to appear at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, on April 20....

The former Redskins quarterback appeared on Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” where he ripped into the reasoning behind giving Kaepernick the team’s most prestigious award voted on by players. “You’re a 2-14 football team; he’s won one football game. What has he inspired?” Theismann asked. STEELE: Real Kaepernick hate test begins now Theismann also said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needs to make a stand on players honoring the national anthem and adopt a policy similar to that of the NBA, which requires all players to stand during the anthem....

The 7-footer sprained his knee against TCU on Jan. 25, and has been dealing with back pain for a while. While he hasn't missed any games, his playing time has decreased over the team's past four games. He played only 18 minutes in an overtime loss to Kansas State on Monday night. Embiid has not practiced since Monday, but coach Bill Self told the Star that he's hopeful Embiid will be able to practice on Sunday....

Joey Bosa, the No. 3 overall pick by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL Draft, is now the only rookie first-rounder who hasn’t signed in 2016. Both Bosa and the Chargers think they have justifiable reason for not agreeing to terms, but they are losing a lot more by not giving in to the other. MORE: 40 most hated NFL players of all time There’s little mystery about the overall value of the four-year, fully guaranteed deal Bosa will get....

Think again. Yes, the dollar is dropping faster than America’s prestige. Once more, the United States is going through a period of self-doubt and self-inflicted weakness, and lesser nations like Iran keep rubbing it in by reaching for nuclear weapons while hammering away at Washington’s position in the Middle East. But who would take care of business if the United States were truly down and out? Moscow? Vladimir Putin’s neotsarist Russia is a revisionist power seeking revenge for a dozen years of humiliation—real or imagined—at the hands of the West....

Archer is only four games into his Test career, but has taken 22 wickets at an average of 20.27 and shapes as being a key in England’s series against New Zealand. But Root said the 24-year-old needed to have more belief in his own abilities ahead of the series opener in Mount Maunganui starting on Thursday. “Jofra adds something slightly different to what we had previously, but one thing he underestimates is his own talent,” Root said, via the Daily Mail....

But the crowd showed no sympathy whatsoever for the former champ as the Staples Center in Los Angeles echoed with boos from the crowd who witnessed a one-sided main event match. As Cena was helped to the back, they sang “ na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.” Chants of “ Thank You Lesnar” were also heard as Cena stumbled up on the ramp. 0 votes

Dean made the remarks during a Friday night interview on CNN. Anchor Erin Burnett asked Dean whether Trump used the DOJ to fight his own “personal wars.” He agreed that Trump had, while asserting that the former president had more control over the department than Nixon. On Thursday, The New York Times reported that Trump’s DOJ subpoenaed Apple to obtain the digital records of some of the former president’s political opponents in Congress....
