Cole Caufield to wear Johnny Gaudreau’s number

On the heels of the tragedy involving brothers Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau, both of whom died at the hands of a hit-and-run driver in New Jersey last Thursday, Montréal Canadiens player Cole Caufield announced he was changing his number to pay tribute.

The man and player he considered his hero as a player wore number 13, and that’s exactly the number Cole Caufield will wear this season when he lines up for the Habs.

While the entire hockey world is still reeling from the senseless death of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Cole Caufield is making a gesture that is sure to have an impact all season long as he takes to the ice not only at the Bell Centre, but also at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, where the late superstar played, and at the Saddledome in Calgary, his former home rink.

The pick is in: Kamala Harris has chosen her VP

Kamala Harris has chosen her running mate for the presidential election.

It is Tim Walz, governor of the state of Minnesota, CNN reports.

It’s a choice that’s as judicious as it is cautious, since several potentially explosive elements surrounded the other finalist, Josh Shapiro, another excellent potential choice, however, and a rising star within the Democratic party.

The Democratic ticket is therefore complete for the election, and Kamala Harris is now well poised to take on Donald Trump and his own running mate, JD Vance.

An event is planned for Harris and her new VP in Pennsylvania, as the two are due to speak publicly for the first time as official candidates for the US presidency and vice-presidency.

Calf brutally killed at Calgary Stampede sparks outrage

History repeats itself as the Calgary Stampede once again came under heavy criticism after four rodeo animals were euthanized due to injuries sustained during the event, including the tragic death of a young calf whose neck was broken by a participant.

In all, three horses and one young calf were euthanized during the event, which ran from July 5 to 14.

Firstly, two horses were injured, one during a race and the other during a cart competition. Although they received immediate medical attention, subsequent examination revealed the severity of their injuries, leading to their euthanasia.

Videos have circulated showing the most horrific incident occurring at a steer wrestling competition, where a participant broke a calf’s neck by tackling it to the ground. The animal, which had to suffer terribly for several minutes in front of the crowd in the stands, was finally euthanized by the vet.

Another horse was also euthanized on the eve of the event’s closure during another carriage pulling competition. Many critics consider these events to be relics of the past that should be abandoned in today’s world.

For several years, animal protection groups such as Animal Justice, PETA and the Vancouver Humane Society have been lodging animal cruelty complaints and seeking to put an end to such events, despite Calgary Stampede’s reassuring claims of improved safety for participating animals.

The evidence seems clear, however.

Viral national anthem singer was drunk, enters rehab

Ingrid Andress broke the audience’s ears Monday night at the MLB Home Run Derby 2024 in Arlington, Texas.

The country singer was commissioned to sing the American national anthem, but she failed to charm spectators with her rendition, which was described as painful on social media.

As reported by Page Six, several players tried to hide their laughter as the singer missed note after note throughout the song.

Several people reportedly wrote on social networks that this was one of the worst performances of the American national anthem in a very long time. Others described the performance as brutal.

The day after her disastrous performance, the young woman posted on her social networks that the cause of this collection of false notes was alcohol. Indeed, she mentioned being completely drunk and heading to a rehab center for therapy to deal with her problem.

What do you think of the situation?

Donald Trump picks his VP

Donald Trump has chosen Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election.

JD Vance will celebrate his 40th birthday in August. He contrasts with Trump (78) and Joe Biden (81).

If elected, JD Vance will be the third-youngest vice president in U.S. history.

Vance’s youth and background as a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War bring both vigor, as well as military experience, to the ticket. Vance, who is known for his populist views, aligns himself with Trump’s “America First” ideology.

He opposed U.S. aid to Ukraine and, in protest, filibustered Biden’s judicial nominations confirmation process.

Vance’s inclusion on the ticket represents the culmination of months of speculation. The initial list of candidates was reduced from a dozen to just six. The likes of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Florida Senator Marco Rubio were the final two candidates. Vance’s ideological commitment and relationship with the Trump family were decisive.

Vance’s candidacy was also supported by influential figures such as Donald Trump Jr.

Vance’s relationship with Mr. Trump got off to a rocky start.

Mr. Vance, who initially criticized Mr. Trump, later joined him.

A good decision for him, it seems.

Trump “defends” Biden, attacks Clooney

Apparently irritated at not being the center of attention, or perhaps frightened at the idea of facing another candidate, Donald Trump reacted sharply against George Clooney following the publication of an op-ed by the actor in the New York Times… yet against Joe Biden.

In the article, which had the effect of a small political bombshell, Clooney advised President Joe Biden to drop his bid for the 2024 presidential election, the actor’s opinions apparently didn’t sit well with Trump.

On Truth Social, Trump criticized George Clooney, calling him a “fake movie actor” and claiming he’d never come close to starring in a major motion picture.

George Clooney, famous for his support of the Democratic Party and having recently helped raise $30 million for Joe Biden’s campaign, said in an op-ed that age had changed Biden and it was time to choose another candidate.

Trump attacked Clooney, accusing him of turning his back on Biden like a rat, while adding that he and Biden were similar. Trump questioned Clooney’s competence on any subject and criticized the actor for taking up the Democratic argument that Biden, whom he called the worst president in US history, had saved democracy.

Getty Images

It’s worth remembering that in his New York Times article earlier this week, George Clooney expressed his admiration and respect for Joe Biden, as Senator, Vice President and President. He emphasized their friendship and his confidence in Biden, affirming his belief in the latter’s morality and character.

However, Clooney expressed concern about Biden’s abilities, observing a notable decline since the last election. He cited Biden’s disappointing performance in a recent debate with Trump to support his view that Biden is no longer the dynamic leader he once supported. Clooney claimed to have observed Biden’s weaknesses himself a few weeks earlier, at a fundraising event for Biden’s campaign.

In his complaints against the actor, Trump ultimately suggests that Clooney should give up politics and return to television.

Advice that could also apply to himself, when you think about it.

Ellen DeGeneres retires completely

Ellen DeGeneres made it abundantly clear at her show in Santa Rosa, California: she’s done with the industry.

While there for three consecutive nights on her Ellen’s Last Stand… Up tour, the comedian announced to the audience that they would never see her on stage again, or at all, the SFGate reported first.

A fan in the audience reportedly asked her if she would be appearing in Broadway shows or movies.

At this point, the comedian replied:

“No. This is the last time you’ll see me. After my Netflix Special, I’m done.”

Later, another fan reportedly begged her to reprise the voice of Doris in an upcoming Pixar film, but Ellen insisted that wasn’t going to happen:

“No, I’m going bye-bye, remember,”

So it seems it’s really the end of the road for the once superstar daytime host and comedian.

Her tour ends in Minneapolis on August 17.
