Croatia knock Brazil out of the World Cup on penalties

Croatia beat Brazil 4-2 on penalties on Friday to set up a World Cup semi-final against Argentina or the Netherlands. Neither of the teams managed to break the deadlock and score a goal during the original time of the match. Possession of the ball was evenly split between the two teams throughout the match, with both squads displaying a solid tactical performance. Determined to extend their stay in Qatar, both sides could not get through each other’s strong defense in the first 90 minutes. However, Brazil broke the 0-0 tie during the first half of extra time after Neymar scored a goal in stoppage time. With the goal, Neymar tied with Pele as the highest scorers in Brazil’s history. Croatian striker Burno Petkovic scored the equalizer for his team in the 117th minu...

Celine Dion Reveals She Has A Rare Neurological Syndrome

Celine Dion is postponing several Europe tour dates after the recent diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder that doesn’t allow her “to sing the way I’m used to,” she announced. The superstar singer has the stiff-person syndrome, which affects “something like one in a million people,” Dion, 54, said in an emotional video post on Thursday to her verified Instagram account. “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” she said. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.” Stiff-person syndrome is “a rare, progressive syndrome that ...

Man Who Shot Lady Gaga’s Dog Walker Sentenced To 21 Years

The man who shot and wounded Lady Gaga's dog walker during the theft of two of the singer's French bulldogs in Hollywood last year pleaded no contest to attempted murder on Monday and was immediately sentenced to 21 years in prison. As part of the no-contest plea - the legal equivalent to a guilty plea in California - James Howard Jackson also admitted in court to inflicting great bodily injury on the man he shot in the chest, Ryan Fischer, who survived the attack. "The plea agreement holds Mr. Jackson accountable for perpetrating a cold-hearted, violent act and provides justice for our victim," the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in announcing the settlement of the case. Several other charges Jackson faced were dismissed in the plea deal, according to ...

Gunmen In Nigeria Kill A Dozen People, Abduct Others From Mosque

Gunmen in Nigeria killed a dozen worshippers, including an imam, and kidnapped several others from a mosque on Saturday night, local residents said on Sunday, in the latest attack by armed gangs in the north of the country. Armed gangs, known as bandits, attack communities where security is stretched, killing people or kidnapping them for ransom. The gangs also demand villagers pay protection fees to be allowed to farm and harvest their crops. Lawal Haruna, a resident of Funtua, in President Muhammadu Buhari's home state of Katsina, told Reuters by phone that the gunmen arrived at Maigamji mosque on motorbikes and started shooting sporadically, which forced worshippers to flee. About 12, who were attending night prayers, were caught in the gunfire and killed, including the ch...

KANYE WEST
Gets Booted From Twitter

Kanye West is back in Twitter's doghouse for spreading more antisemitic hate ... but this time his account was PERSONALLY suspended by the platform's new CEO Elon Musk. The rapper ran afoul of Twitter's policy against inciting violence after posting an altered image showing the Jewish symbol of the Star of David with a Nazi swastika. Elon wasn't having it, tweeting a reply to Ye early Friday ... "I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended." Kanye's tweet was swiftly removed ... it's not clear how long his suspension is for. His account was suspended once before in October (pre-Musk) after he posted antisemitic remarks. During their bizarre discussion, Jones tried to denounce the Nazis, but Kanye woul...
