For at least a few years now, Lindsay Lohan seems to be at this particular stage of fame where she is could to go back to the traditional show business if she wants, it’s just for her to do it and someone with money to decide to pay for it. Well, Netflix is ​​a man of money and seems more than happy to fund Lindsay Lohanissance if no one else wants to.

Last Maythe streaming service announced that Lohan will return to acting after years of doing various other things Falling for Christmasa romantic comedy about an avid hotel heiress who gets amnesia and falls in love with the owner of a blue-collar hut, played by Chord Overstreet by Joy. This movie will probably be out near Christmas sometime, but today Netflix announced that it is making two additional movies with Lohan … and we don’t know anything about them.

Netflix shared the news on Twitter that would make the two-faced heads spin, pointing out that “the world first fell in love with Lindsay Lohan when she played a set of twins” and that now the streamer “gives the world twice as much as Lindsay’s love through a creative partnership that will see her star in two new movies. ” (You see, there are a lot of “two” images, which is something Two-Face likes.)

But what will these movies be like? Well, Netflix originals usually fall into two categories: Prestigious projects that cost a lot of money and garbage. Prestigious movies are sometimes nasty, and garbage movies are sometimes exciting (not to mention extremely popular), but they are what they are. So we look forward to seeing Lindsay Lohan’s two Oscar-winning epics whenever Netflix tries to make them and tell us what they are.

The giants did not reject the idea of ​​trading with Saquon Barkley

INDIANAPOLIS – When asked if he was ready for the process of rebuilding the better New York Giants, new general manager Joe Schoen did not hesitate.

“Absolutely,” Schoen said. – Absolutely.

His experience with Buffalo Bills, where Schoen has spent the last five years, should help. Brandon Bean was hired as Bill’s CEO in 2017, recruiting Schoen to serve as his major, to help revive a franchise that hasn’t won a double-digit game or division since the 1990s. (The bills have now been made by both, each of the last two years.)

There are other similarities on the surface between these bills, including a good rear of the draft, some hope on the list, and a confusing quarterback situation.

To be honest, the Giants fell faster – and harder – from this Bill’s team, and Sean’s job is to clean up what’s left. The reality for the Giants is that they have the worst record (compared to the Jets) in the 2017 NFL at 22-59, the salary cap situation requires serious surgery and there are two top 6 overall in the draft. future with the team remain opaque.

Daniel Jones and Sakuon Barkley.

They both had their moments in the NFL. It wasn’t enough for either of them. The clock is ticking faster for Barkley, who is ready to enter his fifth annual season of options, but Jones’ dilemma is just as, if not more, important.

First, for Barkley: Sean didn’t mention him by name – nor did new head coach Brian Daball – but he said they don’t close in on any trade talks.

“We’re still working on it,” Schoen said, “but I’m open to everything.”

Schoen then volunteered to be open to “player-for-player” or even “multi-player” deals. Those words are open to interpretation, but Sean said the Giants didn’t have to be “open to business on the whole list.”

He added: “If someone calls and is interested in one of our players, I will certainly listen to him. We are again in a situation where, unfortunately, we have to go under the salary ceiling.”

“The Giants are not in very good health on the pay ceiling,” Schoen said, and that’s no joke. They are actually about $ 25 million above the limit with 55 players on the list, and their eight biggest hits are not quarterbacks.

The reason Sean has this job is because of the poor composition of the previous regime, the wrong financial distribution and the small long-term vision. If he follows the vision of his mentor Bean, the giants may be open to business. In Beane’s first project, the Bills swapped twice to get Josh Allen and once again to get Tremaine Edmunds in Round 1. They later swapped for Stefon Diggs. The Bills suddenly included one of the best lists in the NFL.

Moving Barkley makes sense. He is a good talent who was too rich at No. 2 as the overall draft pick in 2018. On top of that, injuries in the last three years after his rookie of the year season have reduced Barkley’s return on investment.

But there should and probably will be teams (maybe even Shoen’s former club?) Considering taking on Barkley’s $ 7.2 million contract this season in hopes that he will return to rookie of the year form. in which he scored 15 touchdowns and topped the league in yards from the bout.

Trading with Barkley has always felt like a high probability this off-season for the Giants franchise, which has been in turmoil for years. This is even more likely after Shohen did nothing to suppress the possibility.

2 top 7 choices, but will you use one per quarterback?

Usually, a team that (a) has not been sold as its quarterback and (b) has had two top 10 overall drafts should not stretch the imagination on how to solve the problem.

The Giants have a fifth and seventh overall pick. Sixteen quarterbacks were selected in the first seven overall selections in the 2015 draft. It would be pointless: You are making another one.

But this is not your typical draft. Although one or more quarterbacks could land in the top 10 overall, this is not a QB class that seems to be fooled by decision makers.

The general managers of many other teams felt this way about Jones when he came out in 2019. The Giants took him much higher (№ 6 overall) than any other team would have thought. During the three uneven seasons, Jones remained a major question mark.

Schoen said the Giants “are still working on all of this” with a decision on whether to choose Jones’ fifth option this spring. Sean later called it a “$ 22 million issue” – the amount of money the giants would have to guarantee for Jones’ 2023 contract.

“We have until May 2 to make that decision,” Schoen said, “so we will be patient and go through the process.”

Asked about Jones, Schoen was impressed to see him at the facility at 5:30 the next morning, at a time when many players, coaches and staff are out of town or taking their families on holiday.

“I’m really impressed with the child,” Schoen said. “He was summoned [sixth overall] with reason and I look forward to working with him. “

If the Giants stick to Jones this year, how does that affect their 2022 draft plans?

Well, with two of the top seven picks, that could allow the Giants to move into two building blocks – perhaps one in defense and one to patch up an offensive line that Sean noted currently has “five strong players” in the list.

But as with the quarterbacks of the draft, this year’s top 10 offer much less strength and stellar strength than last year’s draft. This can also make 2023 draft trading more difficult – who wants to trade so high for anything less than prospects for blue chips?

However, Sean is convinced that the Giants can use №5 and 7 – either regular and select players there, or use them in trade – to make a significant improvement on their list.

“I am confident of that to the players [will be] there, “said Schoen.” Where we are, five and seven, with respect to the first round only, [our goal is] finding seven players that we really like that meet the specifics of the position, the critical factors and the type of football makeup and the type of character we want to build in our building. Then I will sleep well at night. “

Sean even seemed to be preparing for the opportunity to take a perspective so high that he might like it more than the others. (Does that sound familiar?)

“If it’s too high to take a man or whatever, that’s fine,” Schoen said. “What I’m interested in is what the people in the building think, and we’ll do our due diligence and make sure that whether it’s deep or not, we’ll find someone we like and can contribute to us.”

Will it be a quarterback? Schoen said the giants were there to assess the position, “as it should be every year.” If the Giants like what they see in the position, it certainly makes Jones’ decision in May much easier.

Who won, who lost, and what was too close to decide in the Texas primary

Morgan Luttrell, a former Navy SEAL who served in the Department of Energy under President Donald Trump, appeared to be on his way to winning the Republican primary in the 8th Congressional District, a GOP stronghold in the Houston area where the incumbent president is retiring. As of 1 a.m., he had about 53 percent of the vote, more than double that of runner-up Christian Collins, and the only question was whether Mr. Luttrell would stay above the 50 percent mark to avoid a runoff.

Mr. Luttrell and Mr. Collins did not differ much in politics. But Mr. Collins and his supporters, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia and the right-wing Freedom Caucus of the House of Representatives, have sought to present the race as a contest between Trump’s base, which he has laid claim to, and the Republican “establishment”, which he accused Mr. Luttrell of representing.

Monica de la Cruz, the Trump-backed candidate, won the Republican primary in the 15th congressional district, which stretches about 250 miles from San Antonio to the Mexican border and is the only competitive House seat left in Texas after Republican machinations.

The Democratic Party primaries were clearly approaching a runoff, with no candidate winning even 30 percent, but it was unclear who would move forward. Ruben Ramirez, a lawyer and veteran of Afghanistan, was in the lead in first place as of 1 a.m., but several competitors were within striking distance of second place.

The rematch between Representative Henry Cuellar, one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress, and Jessica Cisneros, the progressive challenger who nearly toppled him in 2020, is too close to be announced in South Texas’s 28th congressional district. Stoke seemed more and more likely.

Ms. Cisneros, backed by Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive leaders, outperformed Cuellar by four percentage points in 2020. This year, Mr. Cuellar may have suffered. during an investigation in which the FBI raided his home in January, details of which were not released.

Another progressive candidate, Tania Benavidez, won just under 5 percent of the vote.

Greg Casar, a progressive Democrat, won decisively in the 35th congressional district, defeating State Representative Eddie Rodriguez. The seat in Austin is all blue and is being vacated by Representative Lloyd Doggett, who decided to run for the neighboring county after the lines were redrawn this year.

Austin City Councilman Mr. Casar was supported by the Justice Democrats and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, and his victory signaled a shift in the Democratic base to the left. He is affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, although the group’s Austin chapter withdrew its support last month after he said he supported military aid to Israel.

In his speech, Biden addressed Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine before continuing to express US support for Ukraine. He condemned Russia and its President Vladimir Putin along the way.

Biden also raised a few eyebrows after his decision to restrict Russian aircraft from US airspace. The ban will go “fully into effect” by the end of the day on Wednesday, the FAA said.

The United States joins Canada and the European Union, which imposed bans on Russian aircraft in their respective airspace over the weekend.

“Tonight I announce that we will join our allies in closing US airspace to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding additional pressure to their economy,” Biden said.

The ban will apply to “operations of all aircraft owned, certified, operated, registered, chartered, chartered or controlled by, for or for the benefit of a Russian citizen,” according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

“This includes passenger and cargo flights, as well as scheduled and charter flights, which effectively closes US airspace to all Russian commercial airlines and other Russian civil aircraft.”

Biden also pledged $ 1 billion in direct aid to help “alleviate suffering” in Ukraine, and he “made it clear” that while US forces would not be fighting in Ukraine, he was mobilizing troops to protect NATO countries.

“The United States and our allies will defend every inch of territory that is NATO territory with the full force of our collective strength,” he said.

Regarding inflation, Biden told the crowded Capitol that the decision to steer the economy in the right direction includes cutting costs, raising wages and more production in the United States.

Biden also voiced support for law enforcement funding to reduce violence in some states and major cities.

“We all have to agree: the answer is not to deprive the police of money. This is to fund the police. Finance them. Finance them! Fund them with the resources and training they need to protect our communities, “he said.

Ukrainian authorities are thwarting the plot to assassinate Zelensky, a senior official said

A senior Ukrainian official revealed on Tuesday that the country’s authorities had thwarted an alleged assassination plot against President Vladimir Zelensky.

During a briefing, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Alexei Danilov, revealed that Ukrainian forces had stopped a plan to assassinate Zelensky, according to a Ukrainian Telegram publication.

Danilov said the Kadyrovites – made up of elite Chechen special forces, according to Axios – had conspired to “eliminate our president”.

“We are well aware of the special operation that had to be carried out directly by the cadres to overthrow our president,” Danilov was quoted as saying by Telegram’s Axgram publication.

Danilov said that non-war agents of the Federal Security Service of Russia had informed the authorities about the plot.

He added that the group of cadres behind the assassination plot was divided into two – one was destroyed in Gostomel and the other was “under fire”, according to Axios.

The news of the alleged assassination plot came on the sixth day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began last week when the Russian president Vladimir Putinputinvladimir 011519getty leadVladimir Vladimirovich Putin McCarthy criticized Republican members who spoke at a conference of white nationalists: “Unacceptable” overnight defense and national security – Ukraine stands as Russian frustration grows.

Moscow forces attacked a number of cities, but fierce Ukrainian resistance from military and armed, private citizens slowed their efforts.

Russian shelling hit a number of locations in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, on Tuesday as Russian forces approached Kyiv.

In recent days, Zelenski has emerged as a global hero as he remains in his home country, leading defense efforts despite the risks to him.

Sean McDermott “had no problem” with Brian Daball

pft1 e1646195613771

USA TODAY Sports

A footnote in the case of Brian Flores against the NFL and three of its teams states that Tim McDonnell, co-director of the Giants’ staff, had a text exchange with Flores, which shows a growing gap between Bills coach Sean McDermott and the offensive coordinator Brian Dabol. McDonald suggested that Dabol was unhappy with the bills and could leave to be the offensive coordinator elsewhere if Dabol did not get a job as head coach.

Dabol got the head coach of the Giants, which led to a lawsuit by Flores.

On Tuesday, McDermott was asked about the alleged rift between him and his former offensive coordinator.

“We won a lot of matches and then there are conversations that get tough, don’t they?” Not every conversation about good teams and thriving teams like us will be easy, “said McDermott through Matt Parino of syracuse.com. “But no, I didn’t have a problem with Brian.”

Who knows what would have happened if Dabol hadn’t gotten a job as head coach, but he did. So now it is easy for everyone to deny the rift.

“Great four years in Buffalo with Sean, (general manager) Brandon (Bean) and support staff. The players, “Dabol said. “A very special place for me. I obviously grew up there and I am very grateful for the opportunity these guys gave me.

“Yes, I loved my time at Buffalo and I appreciated Brandon and being among all these people, and obviously it was an opportunity to be a head coach, so that was something I’ve been striving for for the last 25 years.”

In the Texas Congressional races, the first primaries are ahead of the upcoming battles.

And the newly formed, predominantly Republican district south of Houston will send Wesley Hunt, an Army veteran with West Point and Cornell degrees, to Congress, backed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the House Republican leader, who aspires to become Speaker. Mr. Hunt will strengthen the small but growing number of black members of the House of Representatives.

Representative Dan Crenshaw received three-quarters of the vote in his re-drawn constituency in suburban Houston despite far-right opposition. Mr. Crenshaw, an outspoken conservative, nonetheless brought in right-wing challenger Jameson Ellis after Mr. Crenshaw denounced the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. Mr. Ellis attempted to call Mr. Crenshaw, a combat veteran who lost an eye in Afghanistan, “Republican in name only” or RINO, but garnered only about 15 percent of the vote.

In Texas’ Third District, just north of Dallas, Rep. Van Taylor remains at risk of being edged out by rivals on the right early Wednesday. These opponents criticized him for voting to create an independent commission to investigate the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

For Democrats, Ms. Cisneros’ victory will have real consequences.

Mr. Cuellar was perhaps the last remaining anti-abortion Democrat in the House of Representatives and ran to the right of his party on issues of immigration and border security. But instead of campaigning on the issues she ran in 2020, Ms. Cisneros revealed that after 17 years in Washington, the incumbent became corrupt and a prisoner of special interests, losing touch with the poor community she represented. Her story was reinforced in January when the FBI carried out a hitherto unexplained raid on Mr. Cuellar’s campaign headquarters and Laredo’s home.

The 28th district shocked both sides in 2020 when it turned sharply towards Mr. Trump. Hillary Clinton won heavily against Hispanic Zapata County in the county’s south, scoring over 30 points in 2016. It then went to Mr. Trump by about five points. Ms. Clinton’s 60-point lead in Starr County, which is 96 percent Hispanic, has narrowed to Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s five-point lead in 2020.

Ms. Cisneros said Trump’s hesitation was a sign that South Texas voters were open to an outside voice after so many years with Mr. Cuellar’s car. But with the young liberal as the Democratic nominee, the Republicans will undoubtedly play for the district in November.

The Republicans also faced a runoff to determine their flag bearer in the district, but Cassie Garcia, who received the most votes on Tuesday, was seen as one of the best candidates available to face Ms. Cisneros. She was Deputy State Director for Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, and Regional Representative for the Texas Agricultural Commissioner.
