On Wednesday, legislators in Florida’s Republican-controlled state Senate voted 23-16 to remove Disney from its self-governing status. This vote comes amid the continuing fight between DeSantis and Disney after the company issued a statement vowing to fight against the Parental Rights in Education law, which its opponents have named the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. Ellis, a Newsmax contributor, said in a social media post that “DeSantis is over the line here” in regards to Disney....

Following an incredible career at Wisconsin in which he became the school's all-time leading scorer, Finley was drafted by the Phoenix Suns with the No. 21 pick in the 1995 draft. He was a two-time NBA All-Star and won an NBA title in 2007 with the San Antonio Spurs. He earned over $138 million over the course of his 15-year NBA career. With his Alma mater in the Final Four, Finley took to Twitter to offer up free beverages for any Wisconsin students 21-and over who have a school-issued I....

Earlier this year, Tampa Bay man Ryan Hamilton was forced to surrender his dog Dakota to the Tampa Bay Humane Society after becoming homeless. On Tuesday, the shelter shared in a Facebook post that while Hamilton, “loved [Dakota] dearly … he knew he couldn’t care for her properly. Wanting the best for her, he brought her to us in hopes that she’d find a better life.” Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, told Newsweek that homelessness does not disqualify a person from being a loving and caring pet owner....

The seven-time Formula One world champion suiffered serious head injuries while skiing in the French Alps on Dec. 29 and has since been kept in an induced coma. The 45-year-old's doctors began the "waking up" process on Jan. 30, but the German's management acknowledged that it could take a significant amount of time to complete, as they tentatively lowered his level of sedation. Schumacher's condition has been the subject of much speculation but his representative Sabine Kehm, who has previously dismissed reports that he was suffering from pneumonia, clarified the situation on Friday....

All entrances to the airport were shut due to a disruption at Terminals 2 and 3, according to Florida’s WSVN. Officials had informed people on the scene that there was a “bomb threat or scare.” An investigation was conducted at the terminals amid reports that a suspicious package was found at the airport, though officials offered limited information at the time. The situation arose due to the discovery of wires in a parked vehicle in the airport’s upper level....

Thankfully, Epic Games has provided eight flaming ring locations, so this task shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish. But of course it’s must easier to finish this if you know exactly where the rings are on the Fortnite Map. Below, we’ll show you exactly where they are.

Saucers are useful vehicles you can hop in and move about the Fortnite world. If they’re good enough for aliens, they’re good enough for you. These flying crafts let you attack opponents and abduct players and props from the map. They play similarly to Choppas and can fire powerful energy balls that can damage both enemies and vehicles as well as knock them back. Abducting people is pretty hilarious, as you can use the UFO to lock on to and pick up enemy players, then drop them....

“Eight teams have kicked the tires” on the ace left-hander, Amaro told CSNPhilly.com’s Jim Salisbury, and four teams have made “real” offers. While Amaro would not identify any of the teams, Fox Sports reported that the Padres “made an aggressive offer for Hamels,” which Amaro rejected, before signing free agent James Shields.

The meteor shower is active from November 6 to 30, but it will reach maximum activity on the night of November 16-17, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS.) On this night the moon will be 5 percent full, meaning there will be dark skies and good viewing conditions—depending on the weather where you are of course. Some observers are already reporting that they have spotted Leonid meteors, but activity will increase leading up to the peak....

On Monday afternoon, the teens—18-year-old Elijah Stansell, a 16-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl who will remain unnamed because of their minor status—arrived at the home of a teen boy to “handle” an ongoing romantic dispute, the likes of which haven’t been disclosed by police, according to the Polk County Sherriff’s Office. Three of the teens began “banging” on the rival’s front door. The rival then emerged from a side door and entered his home’s carport to see who was knocking....

A small group of Senate Republicans threatened to not support the legislation over disagreements with how the provision for expanded unemployment insurance was written, a position that could prolong final passage by days. The four GOP lawmakers—Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott of South Carolina, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Rick Scott of Florida—chalked up the conflict to a “drafting error.” That mistake, they contended, would inadvertently incentivize low-wage earners to seek unemployment rather than remain at their current job because they could potentially receive more money through unemployment benefits....

Visit the Gothic Domkerk, the city’s best-known cathedral, and climb the 465 steps for breathtaking views of the center below—if you can hack it. Eat a homemade stroopwafel, a decadent novelty of wafers and caramel, at the bustling open-air Vredenburg market, where shoppers can find clothing, jewelry, artwork, electronics and more (open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).

Players and reporters are both trying to figure out whether the primary responsibility of replacing Josh McDaniels will fall to former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia or former special teams coordinator Joe Judge. Belichick, however, doesn’t seem concerned about who’s calling plays in the middle of the offseason. “Do we have titles? Yeah, look, there’s a lot of jobs that we have to do, we’re all working on those things now but — it’s May,” Belichick told those reporters on Monday....

Four-star recruit Jean Delance had committed to the Sooners and tweeted a picture of his visit just days before the video surfaced.

The refrain I’ve been hearing from them lately has to do with proposals and landing new business. Whether I’m talking with the head of business development at a global construction and engineering company, the CFO at a busy government contractor or the principal at a small, family-owned architecture firm, they are all telling me essentially the same thing: any tools that enable them to quickly and efficiently craft proposals aren’t just nice to have, they are essential to winning the right business....

Anyway, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns engaged in a typically wacky Ambulance Match, where the winner of the match was immaterial because the big story was that shenanigans that went down afterwards. Roman, apparently mad about losing the match, kidnapped Strowman in the back of the ambulance and smashed it into a truck that was conveniently parked backstage. Then he left the scene of the accident and didn’t even leave a note on the truck’s window!...

But while these movements for cash payments continue to gain traction online, that support isn’t translating to pressure on members of Congress. The largest Change.org petition for recurring cash payments until the pandemic ends—launched by Stephanie Bonin, a Denver restaurant owner—asks the House and Senate for legislation that would provide monthly “$2,000 payments for adults and $1,000 payments for kids.” The petition has drawn over 2,950,700 signatures as of Saturday, with roughly 43,000 new supporters in the past month....

In a segment in which two of the network’s presenters ridiculed the move, Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of Fox & Friends, warned: “They’re going after the children.” Microsoft announced on January 11 changes to its Xbox console settings that will allow users to save more energy and reduce the carbon impact of their gaming, in a bid to reach its goal of being carbon negative and a “zero waste” company by 2030....

Paxton has slammed President Joe Biden’s executive order requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing—saying businesses should be able to make their own decisions to protect workers. However, the Texas attorney general has also backed Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order that blocks businesses and other entities from implementing vaccine mandates. “You say Texas companies should take care of their own workers. So, given that how do you justify the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, issuing an executive order that bans any business in Texas from issuing a vaccine mandate?...

The Monday morning Fox News crew excitedly marked Trump’s step into North Korea with Kim Jong Un and hailed his efforts to restart talks about dismantling the country’s nuclear program with the communist leader. Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot in North Korea and Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins said that if President Barack Obama had made the same move it would be called “courageous” by American news media....
