Hyderabad, Dec 24 (PTI) Ruling Congress MLA R Bhoopathi Reddy on Tuesday said he would not tolerate any criticism by Allu Arjun against Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and warned that the actor's films would not be allowed to run in the state. The MLA from Nizamabad (Rural) said Congress was never against the cinema industry and that Congress governments had given land in Hyderabad to film personalities to help the industry take root.

Further, he said that 'Pushpa' is not a film that would benefit society but is the story of a smuggler. "If you (Allu Arjun) talk about our Chief Minister, be cautious. You are from Andhra. You came here to live," he said.

"What is your contribution to Telangana? We are issuing a 100 per cent warning. Some (Osmania University) Joint Action Committee people have done something at your house. If you don't mend your ways, we will not let your films run in Telangana," he added. The actor (Allu Arjun) had gone for the screening of the film at the theatre on December 4 without permission, the MLA said. His comments appear to be a response to Allu Arjun's statement on December 21, where the actor called the incident, in which a woman died and her son was injured during the screening of Pushpa-2, a pure accident, while also denying the allegations made by CM Revanth Reddy. Hours after Revanth Reddy slammed the actor for holding a roadshow and waving to the crowds at the theatre, Allu Arjun refuted the allegations and said it was not a procession or roadshow. He asserted that he was not against any department, political leader, or government. A 35-year-old woman died during a stampede at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4, and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised. Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of the BNS at the Chikkadpally police station based on a complaint lodged by the deceased woman's family. Allu Arjun, named as accused No 11, was arrested by the city police in connection with the woman's death on December 13. The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day, and he was released from prison on December 14.

The Blue Jackets have lost four of five games, including a 5-3 defeat to the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Kent Johnson had a goal and an assist, Zach Werenski and Sean Monahan scored, and Elvis Merzlikins allowed five goals and made 20 saves for the Blue Jackets, who trailed by scores of 3-0 and 5-1. "We just fed into their forecheck," Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said. "When you don't feel comfortable going forward, you turn back, and all you do is invite pressure. Tonight, we played south and played soft instead of going north and playing hard." Monahan's goal gave him 13 points in the last 13 games (three goals, 10 assists). It was the 14th game in a row that the Blue Jackets have allowed a power-play goal, and they'll be facing a Capitals team whose power play is much-improved of late. "We've got to throw (Tuesday's game) out," Evason said. "Obviously, we haven't skated for a bit, so we'll get a good burn (Wednesday) and get our legs going again." The Capitals roll into Columbus with an 11-2-0 road record and a place atop the Metropolitan Division. Despite playing without injured superstar Alex Ovechkin for the past nine games, the Capitals own a plus-35 goal differential for the season. And Washington is getting good news on the injury front. Ovechkin continues skating on his own and took some passes from former linemate Nicklas Backstrom (long-term injured reserve) on Wednesday morning. Team owner Ted Leonsis told NHL.com that Ovechkin "probably still got two or three weeks (before returning). I don't want him to rush it." Forward Tom Wilson, who took a shot in the face from teammate Jakob Chychrun in Montreal on Saturday and returned to score two goals, told reporters he has a small fracture of a bone in the sinus cavity area. His doctor wants him to wear a full shield for four weeks, but he expects to be able to play Thursday. "I look a lot better now, if you can believe it, than I did a few days ago. When I got home after the flight? Oh man, it wasn't good," Wilson said of the left side of his face. "You go in to get a coffee somewhere and everyone's like ... they were kinda looking at you funny." Washington has been off since the come-from-behind 4-2 win at Montreal. Wilson scored two straight goals in the third period, Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist, and Logan Thompson made 22 saves for Washington, which is 6-0-1 in its past seven games. "It's a really fun group," Wilson said after the game. "We enjoy coming together and bearing down and finding ways to gut out these tough wins. So, it's a great group in here. I've been saying that all year and we're just having fun playing for the guy next to us." Washington's third-period comeback win was its third this season. In the previous meeting between the teams, Connor McMichael scored twice, Ovechkin had a goal and two assists, and the Capitals routed the Blue Jackets 7-2 on Nov. 2 in Washington. --Field Level MediaWest Coast Billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs is expanding her advocacy groups to suppress the mainstream public’s criticism of her mass migration policies. Immigration Hub “will expand its scope to counter far-right disinformation campaigns and push for critical policy solutions, including reforms to Section 230 of the [Internet-related] Communications Decency Act, to build safer online spaces and AI technology,” said a December 3 statement by her new group, Catalyze/Citizens. Her demand for changes in the Internet law suggests that she would use her social ties in Silicon Valley, her advocacy, and her lawyers to suppress mainstream public criticism of the nation’s wealth-shifting Extraction Migration policies. But that plan would require a new anti-free-speech law from Congress or a remarkable decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The statement added: Through these efforts, C/C aims to champion and elect pro-immigrant leaders, mobilize uncommon allies, and drive narrative interventions that protect immigrant communities and strengthen democratic values. “Ms. Powell Jobs , whose late husband was the Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, controls a fortune worth $11 billion and has an array of interests in which she invests,” the New York Times reported on November 30. The newspaper added: She took a big swing [against Trump] herself during the election. A top aide of hers circulated polling data to help nudge President Biden out of the race, and Ms. Powell Jobs quietly contributed millions to an organization backing Ms. Harris. The group’s blame-the-narrative campaign echoes the view of many pro-migration groups that Donald Trump won the election by manipulating the voters via distorted media reports. That claim sidelines the evidence that voters recognize the vast economic and civic damage caused by the elite-driven desire for the extraction of many more foreign blue-collar and white-collar workers, renters, and consumers from poor countries. President Joe Biden’s underfunded migrati0n “was a complete narrative disaster to the public,” said Andrea Flores, the chief lobbyist at Mark Zuckberg’s FWD.us pro-migration group. She lamented to an invited audience of progressives who gathered in a D.C. cinema on November 19 that: Lack of [a pro-migration] narrative ... led everyone to hear the consistent message that Trump had been saying for eight years ... that immigration was the cause of every domestic problem, whether it was housing, whether it was the price of goods. The same message is broadcast by Powell Jobs’ Immigration Hub group, which is to be headed by a career activist, Beatriz Lopez : Under my leadership, the Hub will expand its mission to tackle the source of disinformation by championing policies and solutions that ensure social media responsibility and online and AI safety. Creating the conditions for humane immigration reform means we can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines of a critical debate on tech regulations, or fail to compete against the enormous volume and spending on anti-immigrant marketing. “Catalyze/Citizens emerged from a clear conviction – we need a robust response that matches, competes and wins against the extreme right’s anti-immigrant, anti-democratic narratives. To that end, we are committed to driving major advocacy campaigns to hold accountable Trump and his allies and elect leaders who will champion humane immigration policies and regulations to safeguard against dangerous online disinformation. The group also released a report showing Kamala Harris’s campaign was reluctant to tout their migration policy during the 2024 election, while Donald Trump was eager to tout its failures: From January to October 2024, Republican and Democratic candidates, PACs, and allied groups spent a staggering $680.5 million on immigration-focused television ads across 12 battleground presidential and senate states. Republican spending accounted for a dominant 84% ($573 million) of this total, with Democrats dedicating $107 million (16%) on immigration messaging. The stakes of the presidential election intensified these investments, surpassing the GOP’s significant anti-immigrant ad spend of 2022, where $171 million was spent to frame immigration as a national threat. But the muted response by the Harris campaign was driven by a recognition that citizens increasingly oppose the elite-driven, wealth-shifting mass migration policies that Harris supported. “There has been such a desire to tamp down the border debate [that] there’s been less of an ability to pivot to other parts of the immigration debate that could be helpful,” Carlos Odio, senior vice president for research at the polling firm Equis, told The Atlantic . On November 28. Breitbart reported on the growing effort by pro-migration groups to shift blame for their self-imposed political disaster onto Trump’s “narrative” trickery. “The problem is not their messaging — the problem is the substance of their [pro-migration] policy and its consequences,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies: The administration and its allies in the media and elsewhere had almost complete control over shaping the way people perceive this [migration] phenomenon, and they’ve failed to do that [succesfully] because the reality overwhelmed their ability to dress it up. There’s only so much you can do through press releases. If community centers are being shut down because they need to be filled with [more] illegal aliens, there’s no narrative that’s going to make that palatable to people. When somebody is released into the United States by the government, is put up in a hotel for free, and then is flown to Atlanta for free, and then goes and murders somebody , there’s no covering that up. However, the investor-backed pro-migration groups have a major incentive to shift the blame for the election result that also damaged their allies in the progressive wing of the Democrat Party. So far, the party’s advocacy groups for causes related to climate, transgenderism, cities, foreign policy, racial balancing, and diversity, have not blamed the pro-migration gorups. But the Immigraiton Hub press statement also boasted of the resources it has been spending to promote more migration into Americans’ communities: Since its founding in 2017, the Immigration Hub has played a central role in advancing fair and humane immigration policies by activating over 400 partner organizations, educating and equipping elected leaders at all levels, and driving innovative advocacy campaigns. Extraction Migration Since at least 1990, the federal government has quietly adopted a policy of Extraction Migration to grow the consumer economy after Congress voted to help investors move the high-wage manufacturing sector to lower-wage countries. The migration policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries. The additional workers, white-collar graduates , consumers, and renters push up stock values by shrinking Americans’ wages , subsidizing low-productivity companies , boosting rents , and spiking real estate prices . The little-recognized economic policy has loosened the economic and civic feedback signals that animate a stable economy and democracy. It has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced Americans’ productivity and political clout , slowed high-tech innovation , shrunk trade , crippled civic solidarity , and incentivized government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded , low-status Americans . Donald Trump’s campaign team recognizes the economic impact of migration. Biden’s unpopular policy is “flooding America’s labor pool with millions of low-wage illegal migrants who are directly attacking the wages and opportunities of hard-working Americans,” said a May statement from Trump’s campaign. The secretive economic policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers. Similar policies have damaged citizens and economies in Canada and the United Kingdom . China, however, has grown its economy by emphasizing productivity and manufacturing. The colonialism-like migration policy has also damaged small nations and has killed hundreds of Americans and thousands of migrants , including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
SAN DIEGO — Mark Few liked what he saw unfold at San Diego State's Viejas Arena when his No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs made their first foray outside of Spokane, Washington, this season. A double-digit victory in a packed, loud arena. Toughness from a deep, experienced lineup that once again is driven to win an elusive national championship. And, peeking a few seasons ahead, he saw an SDSU team that he views more as a future Pac-12 partner than rival. Behind big man Graham Ike and guard Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga displayed its size, speed and strength in beating Brian Dutcher's young, hobbled squad 80-67 on Monday night. The Bulldogs returned the favor after SDSU won 84-74 last December at The Kennel in Spokane, which ended their 59-game nonconference winning streak. Both teams reached the Sweet Sixteen last season. Gonzaga is the only team in the nation to reach the Sweet Sixteen the last nine seasons as the Bulldogs extended their streak of NCAA Tournament appearances to 25 straight. Back in Spokane on Wednesday night, the Zags improved to 5-0 by routing Long Beach State 84-41, no doubt firing up expectations in the Lilac City and beyond. In a college sports climate dominated by NIL and the transfer portal, the Zags are stacked. Of the 12 possible players who could return from last year, 10 did, including all four starters. They returned 81% of last season's scoring and 71% of their rebounding. Six of its top seven scorers are back, along with 81.4% of minutes played. “We're tougher,” Few said. “We're physically tougher, we're mentally tougher, at least so far in the season. A lot of the same guys from last year. That's what happens when you stick around a couple of years. “You've got to have both to be able to go on the road in a place like this and dig out wins," Few added. "That's one thing San Diego State is going to bring. They're going to bring physicality, they're going to bring great athleticism, they're going to challenge you in every facet of the game.” Hoops powerhouse Gonzaga announced on Oct. 1 that it will move from the West Coast Conference, where it has dominated for most of the last quarter-century, into a Pac-12 conference being rebuilt around football. Beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, Gonzaga will become the eighth member along with holdovers Washington State and Oregon State, and fellow newcomers Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State and Colorado State from the Mountain West. While not as dominant as the Zags, the Aztecs have been one of the West Coast's best programs for several years, first under Steve Fisher and then Dutcher, his longtime assistant who is in his eighth season as head coach. “They're just going to be such a great partner, because they value basketball and they support basketball,” said Few, who's in his 26th season as head coach. “They understand, when you have a national program like we both have, it pays unbelievable dividends to the university, to the community, to the city and the state, like the Northwest and down here. They get that. We're looking for other like-minded places to partner with us.” Few said he would often chat with Fisher about the possibility of the Zags and Aztecs playing in the same conference. Fisher watches Aztecs games with his wife, Angie, from the second row above Steve Fisher Court. “We talked about it forever,” Few said. “I'm happy for Dutch. He's doing a great job." San Diego State reached its first Final Four in 2023, when Lamont Butler's thrilling buzzer-beater against Florida Atlantic lifted the Aztecs into the national championship game, where they lost 76-59 to UConn. SDSU was routed again by UConn, 82-52, in last season's Sweet Sixteen, while Gonzaga lost to Purdue. Gonzaga opened this season with a 101-63 win against then-No. 8 Baylor at the Spokane Arena. It was Gonzaga’s biggest victory margin over a top-10 opponent, over a team it lost to in the 2021 national title game in Indianapolis. Nembhard, who had 19 points and 10 assists against the Aztecs, said the Zags “did a really good job, actually,” of handling the pressure of playing at Viejas Arena. "Every time they went on a little run and the crowd got loud, we did a good job staying composed and trusting our offensive sets.” Nembhard will be gone when the Bulldogs and Aztecs are in the Pac-12 together, but thinks "the rivalry will be great. This is a great program. I played them a couple of times at Creighton, and they always gave us a tough game. They have a great fan base, a great coach over there, and they play really hard. I think it’ll be a great rivalry to come.”Guardiola denies rift with De Bruyne during Man City's dramatic slump

While it is not known when exactly the pictures were taken, it looks like Brittany preplanned the Christmas portraits since Patrick will be busy playing today. Patrick Mahomes And His Wife Brittany Mahomes Pose For Their Family Portrait On Christmas Brittany posted four pictures as their family portraits on Christmas. Brittany, who is currently pregnant with their third child, looks beautiful in a white turtleneck and white flared pants. She is seen sitting on a brown sofa with their son on her lap.

But Patrick proved everyone wrong and returned to the game a few days ago at the Arrowhead Stadium. His return to the field also sparked controversy as a video of his walking into the stadium had gone viral. As he seemed to walk without any injury or pain, many fans speculated whether he actually even sustained an injury or was it all “fake”. But he proved everyone wrong and retained his star status.

In a motion to dismiss filed on Tuesday, lawyers acting for Mr Trump argued that the US president had effectively by pardoning his own son for any crimes he may have committed in the last decade. Mr Trump was found guilty of falsifying 34 business payments in June, in what prosecutors claimed was a “hush money” scheme to prevent his alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels becoming public ahead of the 2016 election. The case following the , and he has not yet been sentenced. Prosecutors had opposed dismissing the case but said “consideration must be given” to freezing it until Mr Trump had completed his second term. Mr Biden issued a pardon for his son, Hunter, on Sunday despite , claiming his son had been “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” because of political pressure from Republicans. Hunter Biden was due to be sentenced on firearms charges in early December. Lawyers acting for the president-elect said Mr Biden’s comments “amounted to an extraordinary condemnation of president Biden’s own DOJ [Department of Justice].” They said: “Yesterday, in issuing a 10-year pardon to Hunter Biden that covers any and all crimes whether charged or uncharged, president Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently’. “President Biden argued that ‘raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice’. These comments amounted to an extraordinary condemnation of president Biden’s own DOJ.” In a 72-page motion to dismiss, they argued: “This is the same DOJ that coordinated and oversaw the politically-motivated, election-interference witch hunts targeting president Trump by .” The “hush money” case against Mr Trump was brought by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, rather than the justice department. Two cases were brought by Mr Smith into Mr Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and his in his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Mr Trump’s lawyers claimed that Mr Bragg had “engaged in ‘precisely the type of political theatre’ that president Biden condemned”. The case was brought because of “president Trump’s political views, the transformative national movement established under his leadership, and the political threat that he poses to entrenched, corrupt politicians in Washington, DC and beyond”, the filing claims.
