On November 25, after weeks of teases and hints, Dr Disrespect , real name Guy Beahm, confirmed that he had joined Rumble as part of an agreement that includes equity with milestones as a majority of its compensation. The free speech platform has been making waves recently after its groundbreaking election night coverage that even surpassed Kick in terms of peak viewership . Dr Disrespect viewers abandon streamer over Rumble When Doc’s Rumble announcement was confirmed, his community was instantly mixed. Some welcomed the change while others opposed it, convinced that YouTube was a better place to watch his content. Some noted that the platform has been banned in certain countries , such as Brazil, over regulations regarding content control. “Rumble is not it. See you around, Champs!” one said . “I’m a fan. But I dislike Rumble a whole lot more.” Oh, I'm a fan. But I dislike Rumble a whole lot more. I'm sure I'll be OK without his content in my life. “I just can’t do it. I subscribe to YouTube Family since there is so much there. I can’t subscribe to Rumble for $10 a month to just watch you. Sorry Doc, I have been a member for years, but I just can’t do this,” a different fan was sad to say . “I will be doing my best to watch, but if he don’t multi-stream then f**k, it was a good 5 years,” another wrote on Reddit . “This is the end of the line for me more than likely. Things have been off pretty much since the allegations , but things will never gonna go back to how they were,” someone else chimed in. Loyal Dr Disrespect followers flock to Rumble However, others are embracing the change and have welcomed the switch to Rumble with open arms. Related: “It’s time to Make Gaming Great Again! Congrats Doc!” one praised . “And I’ve already got a leather seat with my name on it, right there on the front row of the arena,” another remarked . Streamer Arctix was extremely positive about the switch and spoke highly of Rumble: “Change always feels different, but I have full confidence in the Champions Club & their ability to be part of this new, powerful, important movement happening on Rumble. This is ONLY the beginning. Welcome to Rumble, Dr Disrespect!” 📢: I've said it before & I'll say it again: People are waking up, frustrated from this imposed norm of constant bias & never-ending censorship. They're tired of not being able to get things as-is, because free, non-biased, unfiltered, legitimate truth & not forced ideology, is... https://t.co/F0ThEGRnOJ “No matter where Doc goes, the Champs will be there! I’m ready to rumble!” supported someone else. So far, the switch seems to have been a positive one for the platform from a business perspective. As reported by Bloomberg , since announcing his signing, Rumble’s shares have gained as much as 17%. Doc’s decision to join Rumble comes after YouTube demonetized his channel over messages he had sent an underage individual on Twitch, which resulted in his ban from the platform in 2020. Beahm has since claimed the DMs were taken out of context, arguing that Twitch staff had a vendetta against him and had orchestrated the ban . In a post on X, Doc explained that Rumble “represents the type of values I’m aligned with” while calling out Twitch for creating a “false, exaggerated narrative about something from almost a decade ago.” Dr Disrespect’s first Rumble broadcast is scheduled for December 2 . At the time of writing, he’s already secured 17.7K followers on his new channel.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Island is getting a rare presidential visit Monday, the first in 12 years. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are traveling from Washington, D.C. to Staten Island, via a stop at JFK Airport to transfer from Air Force One to the helicopter that will carry them to Miller Field in New Dorp. Touchdown on Staten Island is expected at 5:30 p.m. Once on the borough, a motorcade will whisk the first couple and their entourage to Fort Wadsworth, where they will host a “friendsgiving” event to thank service members and their families at U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York. The route, along Father Capodanno Boulevard, will be closed to traffic for about four hours. The Advance/SILive.com will be providing live updates, below, during the course of the visit.

Associated Press They are traveling with a large group including personal assistants, aides and press. 3:53 P.M. -- DISSENT, BUT RESPECT Along Biden’s motorcade route to Fort Wadsworth stands the former Island Shores senior home, which now serves as a shelter for migrants -- one of several opened on Staten Island as the city grappled with an influx of more than 200,000 people who had crossed the border. The shelter has been a flashpoint on Staten Island, with long-standing protests over the course of last year. In the hours leading up to Biden’s arrival, two Staten Islanders took up spots in front of the shelter with signs reading “Stop Biden’s Border Bloodbath“ and ”Trump America First/Biden America Last." “We are very excited to voice our dissent with the policies that Joe Biden has, especially right here at 1111 Father Capodanno Boulevard,” said Kieran Brown of Annadale, who wore a bright red Trump cap. “But at the same time, it is very important that we maintain respect and we show the hospitality of our Island, regardless of political affiliation,” he continued. “We’re good people and we want the best for our country.” 3:42 P.M. -- PREPARING FOR THE PRESIDENT Preparations for the Bidens' visit have been ongoing all weekend and into Monday. On Saturday, Miller Field was closed from 8 to 10 a.m. for an aircraft training exercise, Gateway National Recreation Area announced. Also beginning on Saturday, metal NYPD barricades were set up along Father Capodanno Boulevard, where the motorcade will make its way to Fort Wadsworth. Over the weekend, Borough President Vito Fossella warned Staten Islanders to be prepared for closure along Father Capodanno Boulevard from about 4 - 8 p.m., and announced that the area park and ride lot would be closed. Following a contentious election, Staten Islanders were -- as expected -- split in their take on the presidential visit, with some looking forward to the spectacle and others fuming that the president was visiting a borough where president-elect Donald Trump won the majority of votes three presidential contests in a row. “It’s very interesting; I never thought I’d see a presidential motorcade driving past my house,” Donna Curatola told an Advance/SILive.com reporter on Sunday. “Whatever your views, it’s still the president and not something you see every day.” Meanwhile, a large “F*** Biden” sign was hung from a home on Father Capodanno Boulevard, just past Midland Avenue. By Monday morning there was also a large police presence in the area preparing security measures for the Bidens' arrival in the evening. 3:16 P.M. -- TURKEYS PARDONED IN DC Hours before leaving for Staten Island, Biden held an event in Washington, D.C. where he performed the annual pre-Thanksgiving presidential pardon of two lucky turkeys.

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) AP AP The 82-year-old president welcomed 2,500 guests to the South Lawn under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom” and sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency after a half-century in Washington power circles. “It’s been the honor of my life. I’m forever grateful,” Biden said, taking note of his impending departure on Jan. 20, 2025. Biden introduced Peach as a bird who “lives by the motto, ‘Keep calm and gobble on.’” Blossom, the president said, has a different motto: “No fowl play. Just Minnesota nice.” *** RECOMMENDED • silive .com With President Biden set to visit Staten Island, residents brace for traffic mess - and a motorcade Nov. 24, 2024, 7:00 p.m. President Biden is visiting Staten Island on Monday, Nov. 25: Here’s his itinerary Nov. 25, 2024, 1:42 p.m. Local reporting by: Erik Bascome, Jessica Jones-Gorman, Paul Liotta, Mike Matteo, Jason Paderon, Jan Somma-Hammel Associated Press material was used in this report.States with high malaria burden dip from 10 in 2015 to 2 in 2023: Government

Cuban Minimalist Zilia Sánchez , whose erotic shaped canvases offered a warm rebuttal to the often chilly work of her male counterparts, has died. She was ninety-eight. Her death was announced by the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, which did not specify a cause. Long a resident of Puerto Rico, where she settled following the Cuban Revolution, Sánchez gained recognition only near the end of her life, as feminist oeuvres finally began to be reconsidered. The artist over her long career brought to bear her early training as a set designer in spare, three-dimensional works that, on close looking, frequently evoked female anatomy. Stretched over complex wooden frameworks and swelling with protuberances, these canvases were almost sculptural in appearance, their subdued blue or gray hues lending them a dim sultriness. “A voluptuous sensuality is never far away,” wrote Barry Schwabsky in a 2014 issue of Artforum . “Touch is as important as vision, and the paintings seem to want to touch themselves.” “I paint with feeling,” she told an interviewer for the Phillips Collection in 2019, “and the feeling is inside. That’s how art is.” Zilia Sánchez was born in Havana on July 12, 1928, to a Cuban mother and a Spanish father. After graduating from Havana’s Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes de San Alejandro, she began her career amid a politically radical milieu, working as a set designer and an abstract painter for Cuban theater groups. During this time, she gained renown as a painter in Havana and exhibited abroad, representing Cuba in the Bienal de México in 1958 and the Bienal de São Paulo in 1959. Following the rise to power of Fidel Castro, Sánchez traveled through Europe, in Spain encountering the work of Antoni Tàpies, which would prove influential to her own practice. In 1962, she moved to New York, where she studied printmaking at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and honed the shaped canvases that would become her trademark. In the early 1970s, having enjoyed solo exhibitions at the Universidad de Puerto Rico, in 1966 and 1970, she settled permanently San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she designed the avant-garde literary journal Zona Carga y Descarga (Zone of Charging and Discharging), and continued to produce the shaped paintings for which she would eventually become known. Works such as Troyanas (Trojan Women), 1964; Topología erótica (Erotic Topology), 1968; Antigone , 1970; and Lunar (Moon), 1985; variously evoked sensuality and struggle beneath their smooth surfaces, tantalizing clefts, and inviting valleys. “Her work blatantly evokes the female body—nipples, lips (vaginal or otherwise), and so on—but it is not representational,” wrote Schwabsky. “That it can be at once so in-your-face and so indirect is probably its greatest strength.” Sánchez’s work was well known in Puerto Rico, where she not only painted but taught for decades, from the 1990s working as professor at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico. She also taught at the Art Students League of San Juan. It wasn’t until the 2010s that Sánchez finally began receiving her due internationally. A 2013 exhibition at Artists Space in New York prompted New York Times critic Holland Cotter to wonder, “Why wasn’t this artist included in the Venice Biennale?” Sánchez went on to exhibit in the 2017 Biennale. A major survey of her work originated at the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC, in 2019, before traveling to the Museo de Arte Ponce in San Juan and El Museo del Barrio, New York. Her work is held in the collections of major institutions around the world including the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Princeton University Art Museum, New Jersey; the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine; the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC; the Pérez Art Museum, Miami; the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, Santurce; Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, San Juan; the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, Argentina; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Though some might have marveled at Sánchez’s persistence as she for decades continued to create work that might never be widely seen, or seen at all, for the artist there was no mystery. “Why am I still making work?” she replied to her Phillips Collection interlocutor in 2019. “Because I need it.”4 easy, comforting bean dishes for fallR&B artist Khalid confirms he’s gay after being outed

Ireland’s premier has spoken to the Dublin woman who won a civil case against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor to praise her courage. Taoiseach Simon Harris said he also wanted to tell Nikita Hand, a hair colourist from Drimnagh, that her case had prompted an increase in women coming forward to ask for support. Ms Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euro (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor said in a post on social media on Friday that he intends to appeal against the decision. That post has since been deleted. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Mr Harris said he told Ms Hand of the support she has from people across Ireland. “I spoke with Nikita today and I wanted to thank her for her incredible bravery and her courage,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that she knew how much solidarity and support there was across this country for her bravery. “I also wanted to make sure she knew of what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre had said yesterday – that so many other women have now come forward in relation to their own experiences of sexual abuse as a result of Nikita’s bravery.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said the case has had a “profound effect” on the people the charity supports, and that over the first 10 days of the High Court case, calls to its national helpline increased by almost 20%. It said that first-time callers increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and were largely from people who had experienced sexual violence who were distressed and anxious from the details of case and the views people had to it. Mr Harris said: “I wanted to speak with her and I wanted to wish her and her daughter, Freya, all the very best night, and I was very grateful to talk with Nikita today. “Her bravery, her courage, her voice has made a real difference in a country in which we must continue to work to get to zero tolerance when it comes to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. “I don’t want to say too much more, because conscious there could be further legal processes, but I absolutely want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her courage, for using her voice.” Justice Minister Helen McEntee praised Ms Hand’s bravery and said she had shown “there is light at the end of the tunnel”. She said: “I just want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been – I’ve no doubt – a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family. She added: “Because of wonderful people like Nikita, I hope that it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are supports available to people, and that there is justice at the end of the day.” Ms Hand said in a statement outside court on Friday that she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. Describing the past six years as “a nightmare”, she said: “I want to show (my daughter) Freya and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” During the case, Ms Hand said she was “disappointed and upset” when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute the case after she made a complaint to the Irish police. In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was “insufficient evidence” and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction. Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous. Asked about the DPP’s decision not to prosecute, Mr Harris and Ms McEntee stressed the importance of the DPP’s independence on whether to prosecute. “There are obviously structures in place where the DPP can meet a victim and can outline to them their reasons for not taking the case,” Mr Harris said. “But there’s also always an opportunity for the DPP in any situation – and I speak broadly in relation to this – to review a decision, to consider any new information that may come to light, and I don’t want to say anything that may ever cut across the ongoing work of the DPP.” Ms McEntee stressed that there should “never be any political interference” in the independence of the DPP’s decisions. “I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs,” she said.What to know about Scott Turner, Trump's pick for housing secretary

Jereem “The Dream” Richards emerged as the standout Trinidad and Tobago athlete in 2024, his fourth-place finish in the Men’s 400 metres final at the Paris Olympics setting him apart. Fourth, of course, is the most heart-breaking of positions in sport — just off the podium and agonisingly close to all the glory and rewards that come with a medal performance. That his run was of such a high quality deepened the disappointment for Richards DE GANNES SETS NEW CARIFTA RECORD: Janae De Gannes celebrates her Carifta Games girls’ under-20 long jump gold medal and championship record at the Kirani James Stadium, in Grenada, in April. The Trinidad and Tobago athlete won with a 6.50 metres leap--a new personal best and Carifta record. --Photo: PAUL VOISIN “What hurt the most was that I was so close,” the Point Fortin athlete told the Express after the Olympic final. “To lose a medal on the line...it was very difficult to work so hard for all these years and then to fall just short of a medal. It hurt and I’m disappointed, but at the same time God is good.” Drawn way out in the difficult lane nine, Richards scorched the track in 43.78 seconds — a new national record and the fastest-ever fourth-place time in an Olympic final. He missed out on the podium by just four-hundredths of a second, Zambian Muzala Samukonga grabbing bronze in 43.74. In any other Olympic final in history, 43.78 would have resulted in a medal. Richards would actually have gotten gold with that time in all but four Olympic finals prior to Paris 2024. The clocking also catapulted the T&T sprinter into 16th spot on the all-time Men’s 400m performance list. While his fourth-place finish was a painful experience, Richards had a lot to be thankful for. His clocking in the championship race and the dogged determination he displayed despite the lane nine draw made it absolutely clear that the Florida-based athlete is the real deal at 400, though his first individual success on the global circuit came in the 200 — 2017 World Athletics Championship bronze. Richards has a rock solid foundation to build on as he prepares for World Championship campaigns — indoor and outdoor — in 2025. Keshorn Walcott was impressive too at Paris 2024. Surprise Olympic Men’s javelin champion in 2012 in London, England at the tender age of 19 and a bronze medallist four years later at the Rio Games, Walcott has set the bar very high. But though he did not earn precious metal in Paris, his seventh-place finish was indeed a championship performance. Just being at the Games was an achievement in itself for Walcott after suffering a serious Achilles injury in 2023. It was quite a journey on the Road to Paris for the Toco thrower — from thinking it was a career-ending injury to successful surgery and then a rapid recovery - tells the story of a determined athlete. That Walcott went on to reach the Olympic final was a bonus. And in the final, he actually took an early lead with a big 86.16 metres throw. However, like Richards, his Olympic final was next-level in terms of quality. The two-time medallist had never before landed the spear that far in an Olympic final. In addition to being the best-ever seventh-place Olympic throw, the effort would have earned gold at 14 other Olympics. Not in 2024! The good news is that Walcott is on course to return to 90-metre form in 2025. Portious Warren finished 22nd in the Women’s shot put at Paris 2024 with a 17.22 metres throw. Leah Bertrand exited the Women’s 100m after finishing ninth in her semi-final heat in 11.37 seconds. In the first round, Bertrand claimed third spot in her heat in 11.27 to progress to the semis. Michelle-Lee Ahye was fourth in her heat in 11.33, and did not advance. Akeem Stewart wrote another chapter of Paralympic history, grabbing silver in Paris in the Men’s discus throw F64 event with a 59.66m effort. Janae De Gannes made a huge impact on the regional scene, leaping to Carifta Games Girls Under-20 long jump gold with a record-breaking effort in Grenada. That big 6.50 metres jump was adjudged the most outstanding performance at the regional junior championships, earning De Gannes the Austin Sealy Award. De Gannes is now part of an elite group of T&T athletes to have taken home the coveted award, joining Darrel Brown, who did it in 1999 and again in 2000, Gavyn Nero (2006) and Jehue Gordon (2010). De Gannes was not the only golden star for T&T at Carifta 2024. Che Wickham, Mikhail Byer, Hakeem Chinapoo and Dylan Woodruffe combined for Boys Under-20 4x100m gold in 40.45 seconds, relegating the mighty Jamaicans to silver in 40.55. Hakeem’s younger brother, Kadeem Chinapoo made two strong statements, first on the track and then on television. Chinapoo clocked 21.78 seconds to strike gold in the Boys Under-17 200m, forcing Jamaican Oshane Jervis to settle for silver in 22.16. Chinapoo then told a Sportsmax interviewer: “It means a lot. This is what I’ve been training for; to beat them Jamaicans because them Jamaicans soft.” The good-natured jab drew attention to the young T&T sprinter, and set the stage for what should be an interesting sprint rivalry in the coming years. There is always a need for colourful characters to make sport more marketable. Of course, Chinapoo has put a target on his own back. The southerner, though, is a special talent, and well-equipped to take on the might of Jamaica. Tafari Waldron also set himself apart at Carifta 2024, successfully defending his Boys Under-20 5,000m title. The T&T runner returned a time of 15 minutes, 01.60 seconds for a huge margin of victory, second-placed Jake Brislane of Bermuda getting home in 15:42.42. Waldron also proved his worth on the roads, becoming only the second local runner to win the UWI SPEC International Half-Marathon men’s race, the 19-year-old crossing the finish line in one hour, nine minutes, 53 seconds. Samantha Shukla topped the Women’s field in 1:37:06 for the first-ever T&T sweep. Another T&T runner, Waldron’s training partner Nicholas Romany emerged as the star of the show at the Run Barbados Festival, successfully defending his Men’s mile and 10K titles.
