While basketball legend Michael Jordan has largely distanced himself from the famous quote that “Republicans buy shoes, too” — he says it was more of an offhand joke than an actual statement of his beliefs — it remains an enduring quote in pop culture for a reason.

The story stems from a 1990 North Carolina Senate race between Harvey Gantt, a black Democrat, and incumbent Jesse Helms, a Republican.

Jordan was asked to endorse Gantt, and declined, apparently joking that he appreciates his Republican sneaker customers, too.

Joke or not, there likely is some wisdom in Jordan’s quip.

Alienating potential customers in the name of hyperpartisan politics seldom works out well, whether you’re veering to the far left or far right.

Obviously, not everyone subscribes to this theory of neutrality.

(See: Sheeran, Ed.)

Take, for instance, progressive “Reacher” star actor Alan Ritchson. Unlike Jordan, who wanted to be cognizant of his diverse customer base, Ritchson has thrown any pretense of bipartisanship out the window — and if you’ve seen Ritchson’s size, you know that he can throw it far.

The actor has had no qualms alienating potential “Reacher” fans who may have a different political or ideological background from the mountainous Ritchson.

Ritchson has left no illusions that he does not like President Donald Trump or his supporters.

The actor has called Trump a “rapist,” per Cleveland.com, and also has taken a number of swipes at Trump in relation to disgraced sex convict Jeffrey Epstein, per The Hollywood Reporter.

His rhetoric was getting so aggressive and alienating that studios apparently had to warn him to keep his political musings to himself, according to The Washington Times.

And given the box office success — or lack thereof — from Ritchson’s two most recent big-picture releases, it’s easy to see why studios were warning him.

According to Box Office Mojo, Ritchson’s July film “Motor City” made a paltry $3 million. IMDb notes that the film had an estimated budget of $30 million.

Ritchson’s next film, “Runner,” came out in September and fared a bit better, raking in over $13 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. But according to Movie Web, “Runner” had a budget ranging from $35 million to $45 million.

(None of the box office figures account for marketing.)

That’s over $65 million spent on two films that brought back less than $20 million total thus far.

The bizarre part of this is that neither movie was critically panned. Critics weren’t going gaga for it like, say, Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” but the movies were largely inoffensive action films.

There’s obviously a large confluence of factors involved when dissecting box office flops. A number of mitigating factors could be at play in Ritchson’s lackluster box office drawing power.

But Ritchson’s corrosive rhetoric almost assuredly played some role in these films’ subdued box office returns.

Jordan may have been joking, and it turns out that Republicans not only buy shoes, but may buy movie tickets as well.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker revealed to “CBS Mornings” that for the last two years he has been using a GLP-1 medication to lose weight.

In a CBS News interview broadcast Monday, Pritzker said he’s lost 80 pounds so far and he feels “a whole lot different and a whole lot better.”

“I’ve been overweight most of my life, really, since I was probably 7 or 8 years old,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker told the network a diabetes diagnosis two years ago pushed the change. A doctor recommended a GLP-1 and warned he might need treatment for life. Pritzker said he injects weekly, walks about four miles most mornings, and is off insulin.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker told @davidbegnaud that he’s “been driven my whole life to lose weight” — and two years ago, he added a new tool to that effort: A GLP-1.

First on CBS Mornings, Gov. Pritzker shared about the decision to use the medication for weight loss after being diagnosed with diabetes and why he’s directing the state’s insurance plan to cover GLP-1s for state employees.

— CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) September 21, 2026

Buried later in the same interview was the line that matters to people who pay Illinois taxes. Pritzker said GLP-1 treatments are on the state insurance plan for 55,000 state employees.

“Why? We’re going to save money,” he said.

Fewer people with diabetes, and less obesity, means fewer other diseases and savings for the state health system.

I decided to share my health journey with GLP-1s because I thought it might make a difference for others.

I don’t take for granted that we now have tools to help us live healthier lives — and I hope sharing encourages people to explore their options. https://t.co/j5rIsfxReN

— Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) September 22, 2026

Pritzker is the governor, a state employee. The plan he just advertised covers the class of drug he has been taking for two years.

CBS News did not produce his personal claim form. It does not take a forensic accountant to see how this looks.

Forbes, cited by the Chicago Sun-Times, puts his net worth at $4.2 billion — up $1 billion since he became governor in 2019. He is an heir to the Hyatt fortune. He can buy the shots himself.

Illinois expanded GLP-1 coverage beyond diabetes treatment to include weight loss beginning July 1, 2024, for adults with obesity, pre-diabetes, or gestational diabetes enrolled in the state employee health program.

The expansion was estimated by the governor’s office to cost $210 million in its first year, while outside analysis put the potential cost substantially higher. Individual GLP-1 prescriptions can also cost more than $16,000 per year at list-price levels.

Pritzker denied he dropped the weight to polish a 2028 presidential image. He said he has been driven his whole life to lose it and wants to remain governor “for a while longer.” He also said his platform as governor is a chance to tell people the drugs can work.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says he’s lost 80 pounds on GLP-1, sparking fresh talk of 2028 White House run https://t.co/fjRgzRD1en https://t.co/gwvEYSUaEH

— New York Post (@nypost) September 21, 2026

That is a nice speech from a man who will never wait in line at a pharmacy.

Working families in Illinois fund a government that already struggles to keep the lights on. The state now funds the high-demand weight-loss drug for its 55,000-person workforce, and this policy heavily spotlights the billionaire governor’s vocal praise of his own results from the drug.

If the coverage truly saves money, show the ledger. If Pritzker’s own doses are on that plan, say so. If they are not, say that too.

Until then, the picture is simple enough: Illinois taxpayers appear to be subsidizing a billionaire’s waistline, and he went on national television to call it thrift.

Russian forces struck targets across Ukraine on September 18, killing at least eight civilians and injuring 70. A guided bomb killed a married couple in a Sumy apartment building, and a drone hit a commuter train in Kharkiv Oblast.

On the evening of September 18, Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defenses were operating, and one person was injured and hospitalized. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, said two men were wounded by shrapnel in Bucha district and warehouses were set on fire. The attack came one day after a ballistic strike wounded 20 people in the capital.

Earlier that morning, a drone strike in Fastiv district destroyed one house, damaged another house and a car, and injured five members of one family, including three children.

In Zhytomyr Oblast, a Russian strike on warehouse and production buildings in the Korosten district killed two people and injured two more. Repeated air raid alerts interrupted rescuers fighting the fires.

Dozens of drones struck Konotop in Sumy Oblast. Mayor Artem Semenikhin said the attack damaged a school, a kindergarten, medical facilities, private homes, the gas distribution network, power lines, and railway infrastructure. Two women were hurt, one with multiple hand wounds and one with an acute stress reaction.

That evening, Russian forces dropped six to seven KAB guided bombs on Sumy. One hit a nine-story apartment building between the third and fourth floors, killing a couple who both worked for the Sumy City Council and injuring nine people, including children aged 7 and 13. Rescuers pulled four people from the rubble. The couple’s seven-year-old son was placed in intensive care.

Separately, regional governor Oleh Hryhorov said a 17-year-old boy in the Vorozhba community died after he was injured by an explosive device.

In Kharkiv Oblast, a Russian drone struck an electric train in the Novovodolazka community, damaging passenger cars. A 40-year-old man was killed, and the National Police reported eight injured. Russia has repeatedly targeted passenger rail, including a train in Mykolaiv two days earlier.

Donetsk regional governor Vadym Filashkin said Russian attacks killed one person and injured 13. One person was killed and another injured in Kramatorsk. In Sloviansk, 10 people were injured, including eight aged 22 to 58 who were wounded by two aerial bombs that also damaged a house, a café, five shops, and four vehicles. One person was injured in Bilozerske and another in Mykolaivka.

In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, regional head Oleksandr Hanzha reported more than 10 drone and artillery attacks on the Nikopol and Synelnykove districts and the city of Dnipro. Apartment buildings, private homes, an administrative building, and a kiosk were damaged, and two men were injured.

On the southern front, Zaporizhzhia regional head Ivan Fedorov said Russia carried out 1,031 strikes on 50 settlements in 24 hours, including 21 airstrikes, 762 drone strikes, four multiple rocket launcher attacks, and 244 artillery strikes. Officials received 156 reports of damage to homes, infrastructure, vehicles, and outbuildings. One person was killed, and 14 were injured. The region has absorbed hundreds of strikes daily, as previously reported.

In Kherson Oblast, governor Oleksandr Prokudin said nearly 40 settlements came under artillery, air, and drone attack. In Kherson city, two high-rise apartment buildings, cars, and a scooter were damaged, while six private houses and a shop were hit elsewhere in the region. One person was killed and nine injured. Police said the victim, a 64-year-old man riding a moped, was struck by an FPV drone in Inhulets.

Russia struck Odesa Oblast overnight with KAB guided bombs and attack drones. One private house was destroyed, and at least five were damaged, along with an enterprise, storage tanks, warehouses, a lyceum, greenhouses, and several cars. Three people were injured: women aged 37 and 70, and a 71-year-old man. Governor Oleh Kiper called it a massive attack on civilian infrastructure.

Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia lost about 1,420 personnel over the previous 24 hours, bringing its claimed total above 1.514 million. The bulletin also listed 1,808 drones, 75 artillery systems, 424 vehicles, seven armored combat vehicles, and five tanks destroyed.

On the diplomatic front, President Volodymyr Zelensky opened the inaugural Carpathian 8 Summit in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, including the Bukovel resort. The three-day forum brings together Ukraine, Poland, Serbia, Romania, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, and Romanian President Nicușor Dan attended.

Zelensky said the initiative would focus on “security, energy, a significant expansion of logistics and cross-border economic cooperation, as well as substantial support for our communities.” Investment agreements worth more than €1 billion were presented.

Meanwhile, Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla are preparing to meet, possibly as early as March, to discuss resuming Russian gas supplies to Germany, Reuters reported, citing two sources. The AfD, now Germany’s largest party, opposes aid to Ukraine and calls for restoring economic ties with Russia. A U.S. official said American diplomats were unaware of any such meeting.

Addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York on September 22, President Donald Trump said, “With their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in history.” He also called out the UN Human Rights Council for criticizing U.S. immigration enforcement.

“They want America to open our borders to gangs and criminals from the world’s most dangerous places,” Trump said in his UN General Assembly address. Departing from his prepared speech text, he added, “They want the worst people to come in from the worst places on Earth, and we don’t do it anymore. We did do it, but we don’t do that anymore.” He said, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation, and we want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you.”

Criticizing the flood of migrants into Europe and the associated wave of crime, particularly rape, Trump has repeatedly pressed European leaders to tighten their borders. Arriving in Scotland in July 2025, ahead of meetings with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and then-Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he told reporters that migration was a “horrible invasion” and added, “This immigration is killing Europe.”

At the UN General Assembly that September, he told European leaders, “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders.” He warned that their countries were “going to hell.”

At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026, Trump criticized what he called European capitals’ reliance on “unchecked mass migration.” “I love Europe, and I want to see Europe do good, but it’s not heading in the right direction,” he said.

He returned to the subject in July. Days before a NATO summit in Ankara, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Europe was learning what happens when it admits “Third World criminals.” At the summit, he warned European nations about immigration and energy policy: “If they’re not careful with those two things, you’re not going to have a Europe anymore.”

Trump also singled out Britain. Asked in July about a conversation with Prime Minister Andy Burnham, he said Burnham would have to address border control “because it’s killing your country.” He called migration into Europe “an invasion.” In a later GB News interview, Trump said Britain was “on the edge of disaster” and claimed that someone returning to London after 15 or 20 years “wouldn’t know what happened.”

Spain became another focus after a surge of crossings from Morocco into its North African enclave of Ceuta on July 30 and 31. About 60,000 migrants crossed in the first 24 hours, a number equivalent to roughly 70 percent of Ceuta’s population. The total eventually exceeded 70,000 migrant crossings. Most returned to Morocco, but an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 remained in Ceuta.

Ceuta’s chief prosecutor, Silvia Rojas, reported 23 sexual assaults since the crossings, nine involving children. She also described “an exponential increase” in crimes including sexual assault and violent robbery. In mid-August, police sources told El Español reporters that 15 rape complaints had been filed and two arrests made. According to El Mundo’s sources, three men tried to sexually assault a 10-year-old girl on Lisboa Street.

A 29-year-old Ceuta resident told CNN en Español, “Many women don’t want to, and can’t, go out alone. We have to go out accompanied by men, or we don’t go out at all, and always with spray.” A mother of two girls started a petition asking that Ceuta’s schools stay closed until the city returned to normal. On September 13, women and girls marched through Ceuta to demand more security, saying they were still afraid to go out, especially at night.

Other European governments criticized Madrid’s response. On July 31, Italy imposed temporary travel restrictions on people arriving from Spain. Denmark and Finland considered similar measures. The same day, the State Department blamed Spain’s government for what it called “deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe.” It said the U.S. was “considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat.”

On August 1, leaders of 22 of the EU’s 27 member states called for an emergency meeting in a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other EU leaders. They cited “the regularization of very large number of irregular migrants” as a possible migration pull factor. Spain’s regularization program allowed undocumented migrants already in the country to apply for residency and work permits. More than one million applied before the application window closed at the end of June.

Trump described the scenes as an “invasion” at a Cabinet meeting and warned that the United States could face something similar if Republicans lost power. “Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” he told Fox News.

In September, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Spain had “ZERO control of its Border,” according to ANI. He also told GB News that Spain would become a “ruined country.”

Europe’s crime data supports the concerns Trump raised at the United Nations. In Britain, Baroness Louise Casey’s national audit of grooming gangs, released in June 2025, found that “there have been enough convictions across the country of groups of men from Asian ethnic backgrounds to have warranted closer examination. Instead of examination, we have seen obfuscation.”

Casey wrote that the system “claims there is an overwhelming problem with White perpetrators when that can’t be proved,” and found that police still fail to record ethnicity for two-thirds of perpetrators. In Rotherham, the Jay inquiry found at least 1,400 girls were abused between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by men of Pakistani ethnicity. Nearly two-thirds of the 323 suspects in the National Crime Agency’s Operation Stovewood were of Pakistani background, in a town where Pakistanis are 4% of the population.

The term “Asian,” used by British police and media, groups Pakistanis with Indians, Bangladeshis and Chinese. It has also covered the victims: Casey’s audit calls for investigation into concerns that Sikh and Hindu children were targeted. The audit’s own case record lists the perpetrators by background: British Pakistani men in Derbyshire, Telford, Oxfordshire and Huddersfield; Somalis in Bristol; Turks in Somerset; Syrians and a Kuwaiti in Newcastle; and Albanian, Kurdish, Bangladeshi, Turkish, Iranian, Iraqi and Pakistani men in Newcastle’s Operation Sanctuary.

The Oxfordshire serious case review recommended research into why a significant proportion of those convicted nationally were of “Pakistani and/or Muslim heritage.” Researcher Peter McLoughlin, compiling grooming gang convictions from 1997 to 2018, found that 87% of those convicted had Muslim names. In 2015, West Midlands Police found that 62% of 75 grooming suspects were of Pakistani background, but the force withheld the findings from the public over concerns about community tensions.

The pattern extends beyond grooming gangs. Ministry of Justice figures released under freedom of information requests show foreign nationals accounted for 26% of convictions for sexual assault on women in 2024, and 155 of 720 convictions for rape of a woman, while making up 10.9% of the population.

Foreign-national convictions for sexual offenses rose 62% from 2021 to 2024, from 687 to 1,114, compared with a 39% rise among British nationals. The Ministry of Justice has refused to publish the full figures. When the Information Commissioner ordered their release in June 2026, the ministry appealed.

Sweden shows the same pattern. A Lund University 21-year study of 4,032 men convicted of rape found that only 36.9% were Swedish-born with two Swedish-born parents, compared with 69.5% of the general population sample. The higher odds of conviction for those with immigrant backgrounds remained after controlling for income, substance abuse, psychiatric disorders and prior criminality, and were highest among men who arrived after age 15.

Sweden’s National Council for Crime Prevention found that Swedes with foreign-born parents were five times more likely to be suspected of murder and manslaughter than those with Swedish-born parents.

Police now estimate 17,500 active gang criminals, with another 50,000 connected to gangs, in a country of 10.6 million. Police designate 65 vulnerable areas nationwide, 19 of them “especially vulnerable,” where criminal networks exert control over residents.

In the Netherlands, government statistics for 2025 show 265 registered crime suspects per 10,000 residents among Dutch-born children of two immigrant parents. That compares with 104 among immigrants and 50 among Dutch-origin residents, meaning the second-generation rate is 5.3 times the Dutch-origin rate.

By country of origin, 3.2% of people of Dutch Caribbean and Somali origin and 2.8% of those of Moroccan origin were registered as crime suspects in 2023, compared with 0.6% of the Dutch-origin population.

Second-generation Moroccan-Dutch men had the highest rate of any group, with 8.0% registered as crime suspects in 2021, more than 13 times the Dutch-origin rate. The Netherlands recorded 1,525 bombings or attempted bombings against homes and businesses in 2025, an average of 29 a week, following a 71% increase between 2023 and 2024.

German federal police data tell a similar story. Asylum-related immigrants make up about 3.6% of Germany’s population but 8 to 10% of sexual offense suspects. North Africans from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia account for 0.5% of that immigrant population but 9.1% of its suspects.

The Federal Criminal Police Office reports that non-Germans have a suspect rate about four times that of Germans. Foreigners are 14.8% of Germany’s population but 41.8% of crime suspects, 38.9% of those convicted and 37.4% of sentenced prisoners, a share that reached a new record in 2025.

Prisons across Europe are overwhelmingly populated by migrants and children of migrants. In the Netherlands, immigrants and their children made up about 71% of the 2023 prison population, with only 29% of inmates of Dutch origin. The number of second-generation detainees held steady at about 7,200 between 2005 and 2023, while the total prison population fell sharply.

In England and Wales, 10,134 foreign nationals were held in custody in June 2026, 12% of prisoners, with Albanians the largest group. In Ireland, non-Irish nationals made up 17.2% of prisoners in September 2024, against 12% of the population. In October 2025, the arrest of an asylum seeker with outstanding deportation orders for the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl set off a riot outside the Citywest asylum center in Dublin.

President Trump has secured the U.S. border, launched an ICE mass-deportation campaign, and emerged as one of the few world leaders willing to stand up to the UN.

Former Harvard President Claudine Gay has returned to the Ivy League university nearly three years after resigning amid a sprawling plagiarism scandal and her handling of antisemitism on campus.

Gay, whose six-month presidency was the shortest in Harvard’s history, is now teaching students about the institution she once led.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Gay will teach a course titled “What is a University?: Purpose and Politics in Higher Education,” which uses Harvard itself as a case study for examining the political and institutional battles surrounding American universities.

The selective course, which is limited to just 16 students, examines issues including admissions, curriculum, research, and university governance.

“A central goal of the course is to encourage Harvard students to engage in critical thinking about their own institution and to understand the background political, social, and market pressures that influence their college experience,” the course description states.

Claudine Gay is teaching a course on the purpose and politics of higher ed this semester:

“Readings include a former president’s lecture about gender at Harvard, as well as the school’s own reports on its legacy of slavery and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s connections… pic.twitter.com/aOQyc19LsX

— Steve McGuire (@sfmcguire79) September 23, 2026

Students will conclude the course by proposing their own “vision for institutional reform or reinvention.”

Gay will return for another two courses in the spring semester, including “African American Politics” and “Politics of Race, Ethnicity and Immigration.”

The latter, which Gay will teach alongside Professor Jennifer Hochschild, will examine “racial domination and contestation” throughout American history, as well as the role of race and ethnicity in elections and government.

Gay resigned as Harvard president in January 2024 following weeks of controversy and demands for her removal, although she later insisted she was the victim of a racist witch hunt.

Her position became untenable after a disastrous appearance before Congress in which she declined to say unequivocally that calls for the genocide of Jews would violate Harvard’s rules.

She instead insisted that such questions depended on “context.”

At today’s Congressional hearing, @Harvard President Claudine Gay refuses to say if calling for ‘genocide of Jews’ is against their Code of Conduct.

This is truly disgusting! With leadership like this, no wonder Harvard has become hot bed of Jew hatred!pic.twitter.com/72qgLMlULn

— Arsen Ostrovsky (@Ostrov_A) December 5, 2023

The congressional debacle was followed by mounting evidence of plagiarism in Gay’s academic work.

Harvard initially stood behind Gay and claimed a review had found no violation of its standards for research misconduct.

New Accusations that Embattled Harvard Prez. Claudine Gay Plagiarized her PhD Thesis

However, the university later acknowledged instances of “inadequate citation” and said she would make corrections to several publications.

Additional allegations subsequently emerged before Gay announced her resignation.

Despite relinquishing Harvard’s presidency, Gay remained a member of the university faculty.

She had previously served as Dean of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Dean of social science before becoming president in July 2023.

Trump is rolling out a 100-foot red carpet for Xi Jinping with an arrival ceremony that is set to include cannons, a 21-gun salute, a presentation of colors, the US Air Force Band, platoons from each branch of the US military, and American flower presenters.

Two B-1 Lancers will also perform flyovers during Xi's arrival.

Trump will greet the Chinese leader with US Air Force Commander Colonel Christopher Robinson.

This comes after Xi Jinping threw a warm welcome ceremony for President Trump when he visited Beijing in May. Trump's ceremony for Xi is expected to outperform the one that Xi put on for him.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at approximately 6 pm ET.
