Here’s what three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo, who as “The Hulk” plays a prominent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, posted on Twitter (now X) in 2021:“I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide.’ It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.”Sadly, Ruffalo recently headed to the front lines of opposing Israel’s move to a second phase of its war against Hamas in Gaza, which was initiated by that terror organization when at least 1,500 of its members crossed the border on Oct. 7. The slaughter, rape and mutilation of more than 1,300 Jews, including large numbers of children, women and elderly citizens, is unfathomable evil. Yet, Ruffalo is back on social media with a new version of uninformed analysis for more than 8 million devoted followers.As media in the United States and a...Editorial: Loan fraud? Who cares – it’s only taxpayer money

Fiscal responsibility has never been a hallmark of the current administration — and President Joe Biden isn’t much concerned about changing course. Now the White House stands by as federal bureaucrats let billions in COVID aid go up in flames.During the pandemic, Congress approved the $500 billion Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. Its mission was to provide loans of up to $2 million through the Small Business Administration to help businesses cover non-payroll expenses incurred during shutdowns. The loans — more than 4 million — were to be repaid.Like many similar COVID initiatives, the EIDL program was infested with fraud. According to Reason magazine, an estimated $136 billion — one-third of the money distributed — was sent to scammers. The statute instructed the SBA to refer all delinquent loans to the Treasury Department, “which has the authority to take steps the SBA cannot, like garnishing wages and foreclosing on property, in order to encourage repayment,” Reason reports...Nikki Haley will launch a $10M ad campaign to try to overtake Ron DeSantis in the GOP primary

Can you call your film “In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50” and not play a chunky part of the tune you use as your title or show the band playing it on stage? You can if you’re Toby Amies (“Directors Talk: Nicolas Winding Refn”).In 1969, Robert Fripp, Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and Peter Sinfield released the album “In the Court of the Crimson King” from Island Records and made rock music history. The pioneer “prog” rock album’s semi-eponymous track was a mind-blowing mix of rock n’ roll and incantatory classical music sound with multiple choral crescendos, guitars, drums, an organ, a flute and a mellotron.The film is a mostly dull take on the practices and insanely disciplined methods of Fripp, the only founding member left in the band. In an opening interview with Amies, whom Fripp loves to ridicule and abuse, Fripp heaves a sigh of despair. It is his trademark expression. No one can live up to Fripp’s expectations, including F...How retirees can break into consulting

Many older adults choose to trade in the regular hours of 9 to 5 when they retire to delve into a much more personally guided passion: consulting.Generally speaking, consulting is a term loosely given to providing business advice and sharing expertise without working directly for a company. Consultants lend their knowledge and flair for problem-solving to guide companies on topics such as marketing, operational improvement and even staffing, according to My Consulting Offer.Consultants do not often work for the company they are assisting, but may be brought in on a contractual basis for a set period of time. The Balance: Money advises that consultants typically can earn more per hour than they would if they were actual staff members on payroll.Consulting may attract seniors considering retirement because of the flexibility it provides. Retirees unsure about how to get started in the field of consulting can consider this rundown of what it takes to pursue this option.Knowledge of key...Latest news
