‘Pharma Bro’ Shkreli freed from prison for halfway house
NEW YORK (AP) — Convicted pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli was freed Wednesday from prison after serving much of a seven-year prison sentence for lying to hedge fund investors and cheating investors in a drug company.

Who is El Muerto? Meet the Marvel star being played by Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) has been announced as the star of El Muerto , the new Sony Marvel film coming to theaters on January 12, 2024. El Muerto is one of the characters owned by Sony, meaning the character will be in the same universe as characters like Venom (played by Tom Hardy) and Morbius (Jared Leto) rather than in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Spider-Man fans may recognize the character, but El Muerto is a lesser-known comic book character. He will, however, make Bad Bunny the first Latino actor leading a Marvel movie. If the movie follows the comic books, the character will also be the first Marvel headlined by a native Spanish speaker. Who Is El Muerto? In the comic books, El Muerto ("The Dead") is usually a Spider-Man villain.

The character's real name is Juan-Carlos Estrada … [Read more...] about Who is El Muerto? Meet the Marvel star being played by Bad Bunny

Donald Trump scored key ally for 2024 election last night
Former President Donald Trump scored a huge win Tuesday that could benefit his 2024 political ambitions after Pennsylvania Republicans overwhelmingly voted for state Senator Doug Mastriano to be the next governor. On Tuesday, Mastriano—one of the most far-right gubernatorial candidates to receive the party's nomination—beat out former congressman Lou Barletta and former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain with more than 44 percent of the GOP vote. Mastriano, who received a last-minute endorsement from Trump three days before the primary, could be a major help to the former president in Pennsylvania politics. If Mastriano wins November's general election against Democrat Josh Shapiro, he would have the power to appoint the secretary of state, who oversees Pennsylvania's elections. "I get to appoint the secretary of state, who's delegated from me the power to make the corrections to elections, the voting logs and everything. I could decertify every machine in the state with the stroke … [Read more...] about Donald Trump scored key ally for 2024 election last night

"The truth is that Scripture says that all our days are numbered. That there is nothing we can do to add a single hour to our life. He knew that.
