Since President Donald Trump announced that he and the First Lady tested positive for the coronavirus last Friday, several other GOP figures within his orbit have also disclosed that they’ve been infected: Chris Christie, Kayleigh McEnany, Thom Tillis, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and, notably,

Even if Lanez did not shoot Megan, what remains irrefutable is the fact that she was harmed physically and emotionally, and the manner in which he has chosen to address this is callous and careless. Instead of making a public statement, defending Megan and the alleged relationship they had, course-correcting the conversation surrounding the incident,

RH: Yeah, I remember Wood and I talked about this having the capacity to affect people. So my agent said to read it again. I said, “Who’s directing it?” She said, “Boaz Yakin.” I was like, “What?” Fresh was one of my favorite movies. “The guy who did Fresh is doing this?” I was like,

In the early days of the Trump administration, when things were much simpler, there was so much turmoil surrounding Donald Trump’s erratic behavior and repeated interference with the Russia investigation that Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, briefly floated the idea of secretly recording the president and invoking the 25th Amendment to the United States

It’s October. Surprise! The news that President Donald Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus broke late Thursday night, throwing yet another massive news story into an environment already absolutely saturated with them. And, as with any October surprise, it’s impossible to avoid considering the implications this will have for the Presidential election that is

After I got kicked out of Jesuit high school, I went to a public high school, where they had resources such that I learned developing and printing and use of an SLR [single-lens reflex camera]. I remember going on assignments in New York City and taking pictures and coming back thinking, ‘Geez, these are all

Do you think this movie is going to resonate a bit more now that we’re in the middle of this pandemic, with many people shut in with their partners and trying to escape to upstate New York and all that? I think so. I mean, I definitely felt it at the beginning of pandemic, washing

It’s deliberate. It’s about reclaiming some symbols as a way to reconnect them back to Africa—like Nefertiti—but also a deliberate way of showing the hand and the affinity that I have towards the older generation and the artists that I know have opened the way for me to do what I’m doing now. I am

Photo: Max Whittaker With its expansive beaches, enveloping Santa Ynez mountains, and year-round sunshine, no other United States locale so well mimics the aesthetic of the European Riviera. Hence Santa Barbara’s nickname, The American Riviera. And no other hotel in this elegant oceanfront hamlet so closely imitates the vibe and tenor of the Mediterranean as

Trump: What you do is you go and vote. You do a solicited ballot, and that’s okay— Wallace: No. No. I know your complaint [crosstalk]. I’m asking you about the fact that millions of people have received— Trump: You go and vote. You go and vote— Wallace: No. But what I’m saying is [crosstalk], what

San Luis Obispo, once dubbed ‘the happiest place in America,’ finally has a hotel befitting its stature as home to one of California’s top-ranked higher learning institutions. Hotel San Luis Obispo, or Hotel SLO, a Piazza Hospitality boutique hotel, is sure to lure friends and family of Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo students, but the new stylish

Lil Rel Howery and I are nervously laughing over the fact that no one in Atlanta seems to be taking COVID-19 seriously. “It’s almost shocking when you first get here,” he says during a recent phone call. “You’re like, ‘did I miss something?’ People look at you crazy when you got a mask on, like

Casa Palopó With travel rebounding, hotels and resorts are tailoring packages to a new ultra-private travel theme – the resort buyout. And for the ultimate private vacation experience where better to head than Guatemala’s only Relais & Châteaux property?

Each time I turn to the work of Mark McKnight, a 36-year-old Los Angeles–based photographer who won last year’s Aperture Prize and has become a kind of phenomenon in the fine art world, I find myself confronted by the same questions that bewildered me on first acquaintance. How can these images be so cold and

Garza Blanca Los Cabos Like many of you, I’ve been itching for a vacation now more than ever, so I made the bold decision to book a getaway and wanted to share my experience of what it’s truly like to travel right now amidst a global pandemic. With my customized ROAM Luggage suitcase in tow,

Yet if Glover has worked from the inside out – pursuing a disruptive agenda from within – Coel has been employing a different set of tactics: refusing to accept the industry’s prejudice as business as normal. If Glover’s agent of change was a Trojan horse, then Coel’s has been a grenade. To excel (and to

Sep. 28th, 2020 Japan is a destination like no other with a rich culture and heritage built on thousands of years emperors, samurai, and geishas. Tokyo is akin to New York, London, or Paris and the financial, business, and brains, if you will, of Japan. To the south is Kyoto that could be referred to
