For the first time in 18,760 days, a wrestler named Kotozakura has lifted the Emperor’s Cup.

Sunday’s championship — a career first for sumo’s top-ranked ozeki — came more than half a century after his grandfather downed Kitanofuji, who died on Nov. 12, to claim his fifth, and final, title.

Asked ringside on Sunday — immediately after being presented with the massive trophy — how he felt at the moment of victory, Kotozakura, much to the crowd’s amusement, replied, “I don’t remember.” While intense focus can sometimes lead to everything being blocked out, that prosaic answer was typical of a surprisingly restrained championship interview.

Ontario Health-Care Workers Launch $170M Lawsuit Over Vaccine Mandates
November 25, 2024
Ontario health-care workers have launched a $170 million class-action lawsuit against the provincial government and its chief medical officer of health, alleging negligence and infringement of privacy rights due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Spearheaded by the United Health Care Workers of Ontario (UHCWO), the civil action challenges the legality of Directive 6, a 2021 public health order issued by Ontario’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore. The directive, which came into effect Sept. 7, 2021, required all hospitals to establish, implement, and ensure compliance with a COVID-19 vaccination policy. The class-action lawsuit aims to represent any unionized health-care workers across the province who were impacted by the mandate, according to the UHCWO. The group argues medical ethics and personal freedoms were eroded by the COVID-19 mandates. “We were witness to vast numbers of dedicated healthcare workers having their livelihoods and careers abruptly taken away, simply for making a personal medical choice,” UHCWO said in a statement. “Other health-care workers were coerced into a medical treatment with the threat of being terminated, which stripped away the… […]
Adam Anders on ‘Trying to Be Salt and Light’ for Christ in the Entertainment Industry
November 25, 2024
The Grammy-nominated music producer who is best known for the hit television series Glee says he feels led by God to make entertainment that shines a light in a dark culture, with a 2023 faith-based project marking a turning point in his career. Adam Anders received Grammy nominations in 2011 and 2012 for Glee and in 2013 for Rock of Ages, yet in 2023, he stepped into the faith-based genre with the musical Journey to Bethlehem, which he wrote and directed. The film follows the biblical story of Mary and Joseph. “My life changed completely with this movie, and I’m on a completely different track,” Anders told Crosswalk Headlines. Glee aired on Fox from 2009 to 2015, winning six Primetime Emmys with Anders serving as executive music producer. Anders also produced music for faith-based projects such as The Passion (2016) and Son of God (2014). “My faith guides everything I do,” Anders said. “I’ve lived in L.A. for 20 years and making movies out there and learning the craft and trying to be salt and light.” Journey to Bethlehem marked his debut as a theatrical film director. “We need movies that shine a light in this darkness,” he… Read the full article here […]

Georgia Mom Speaks Out Following Her Arrest for Letting Son Walk to Store – Twitchy
November 25, 2024
A week or so ago, we told you about the Georgia mom who was arrested for letting her 10-year-old son walk to a store in their small town. Someone called the police who decided this mom was ‘endangering’ her son for letting him do something kids have done for eons. It’s the definition of lawfare — especially given how selective authorities are when it comes to enforcing laws concerning more serious crimes like illegal immigration, theft, and homicide. This mom did nothing wrong, but the local authorities seem to think otherwise. Now she’s speaking out: INSANE. A mother speaks out after she was arrested in GA for her 10 y/o son walking alone to a store down the road in their small town the day before Halloween. Meanwhile, 300k kids are missing due to Democrats’ border policies and kids are walking across the border alone.… pic.twitter.com/cdi7RRLOTs — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 25, 2024 The same Leftists who will cry about ‘separating’ families over illegal immigration are pretty darned silent about separating this mom from her family. Your kid walks down the street alone, and you get jailed. Your kid wants to transition, and… Read the full article here […]
Has the Mystery of DB Cooper Finally Been Solved? – RedState
November 25, 2024
Is the DB Cooper mystery about to be solved? According to recent reports, this could be the case after FBI agents found evidence linking to a potential suspect. The case of DB Cooper – the unidentified man who disappeared after hijacking an airplane over Oregon in 1971 and parachuting away with $200,000 – has long been a mystery that eluded the authorities while generating many theories as to who the culprit might have been. A modified military surplus parachute, believed to be tied to the caper, was discovered on the property of Richard Floyd McCoy II’s family in North Carolina. McCoy has long been suspected by amateur sleuths as being the individual who pulled off the heist because of similarities between the 1971 hijacking and a 1972 crime that bore an eerie resemblance to the original. A YouTuber and investigator named Dan Gryder uncovered the parachute after visiting the family property in 2022. Gryder, who has researched the case for more than two decades, referred to the parachute as “one in a billion,” according to Cowboy State Daily. Here’s how it went down: A man using the alias “Dan Cooper” hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines… Read the full article here […]
