US politicians demanding Secret Service answers after Donald Trump assassination attempt

 US politicians demanding Secret Service answers after Donald Trump assassination attempt Donald Trump was still receiving treatment from a failed assassination attempt when senior Republican politicians started demanding answers from the US Secret Service.  Tasked with keeping the former president safe, the elite security agency's failure to prevent Mr Trump being shot in the ear at a public rally has left its senior leaders facing congressional questions.  There have been no shortage of attacks and threats against US politicians and their families in recent years but an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate under Secret Service protection offers the darkest moment for the agency in decades. What is the Secret Service? Just hours before his own assassination, president Abraham Lincoln signed the paperwork to establish the Secret Service in 1865. Initially tasked with combating currency counterfeiting, the Secret Service took on protecting the US president after the a

Geelong Cats 13.13 (91) d Collingwood Magpies 10.11 (71)

 Geelong Cats 13.13 (91) d Collingwood Magpies 10.11 (71) A NIGHT OF ERRORS Something dramatic will have to happen across the next six weeks for either Geelong or Collingwood to emerge as a genuine premiership threat. As it is, the Magpies’ season is on life support. In a game of many mistakes - fumbles, miskicks, balls being thrown, players slipping over - Geelong were able to finish 20 points ahead and momentarily jump into the top four. But they were not playing finals-winning football, barely doing enough to seal the night. Despite winning in crucial areas, including centre-square dominance, they trailed by a goal at quarter-time, led by four points at the long break and then nine points at three-quarter time. On paper, they looked like they should have clobbered the injury-plagued Collingwood. Instead, their kicking inside the forward 50 - a poor 45.2 per cent - meant they turned over the ball far too often. Patrick Dangerfield, Mitch Duncan and Tom Stewart, at times, were the mai

Alex de Minaur lays Wimbledon ghosts to rest to reach last eight for first time

 Alex de Minaur lays Wimbledon ghosts to rest to reach last eight for first time The “Demon” has slain his Wimbledon demon to reach the last eight of the grass court grand slam for the first time. But Alex de Minaur now has another bad memory to exorcise. Two years after blowing a two-set lead and two match points when on the brink of reaching the quarter-finals, the No 9 seed held his nerve as a horror repeat threatened against Arthur Fils. De Minaur put his fans on No 1 Court – and late-night television viewers back home – through the wringer as he dropped the third set but showed Aussie grit to take the fourth on his second match point. His 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win, in just shy of three hours, booked a last-eight meeting with Novak Djokovic on Wednesday (late Wednesday or early Thursday AEST). Djokovic has been in impressive form. Seemingly untroubled by a knee operation a month ago he brushed aside No 15 Holger Rune in three sets and two hours. He also seems spoiling for a fight – wh

 Margot Robbie Expecting Baby With Tom Ackerley Congratulations to the happy couple! Margot Robbie is pregnant! According to People, Margot, 34, is expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley, also 34. The Australian Barbie star was seen sporting a growing bump while on holiday in Lake Como. The Daily Mail shared photos of Margot donning a white crop top, seemingly bearing a growing baby bump. Multiple people have since confirmed to People that Robbie is indeed pregnant. Robbie and Ackerley are yet to formally confirm the pregnancy themselves. Robbie and Ackerley met on a film set in 2013, and were married in a secret ceremony in Byron Bay in 2016. The two keep their private life away from the public eye, and didn’t confirm their engagement prior to their wedding. Ackerley is a film producer and co-owns and operates Lucky Chap Entertainment with Robbie. Margot has previously said she loves having a partner who is not in the public eye. “I am so lucky.

UFC 303 Results: Bonus Winners And Highlights

 UFC 303 Results: Bonus Winners And Highlights Alex Pereira is a one-of-a-kind superstar, and if you love mixed martial arts, you better enjoy and cherish every time you get an opportunity to see him fight. The UFC Light Heavyweight champion notched another successful title defense on his record with a spectacular second-round head-kick TKO win over Jiri Prochazka. The win was Pereira’s second KO over Prochazka, as he also stopped him in the second round of their first meeting in November 2023 at UFC 295. Saturday night’s win was more brutal. Pereira floored Prochazka with his signature left hook at the bell to close the first round. If he had more time to finish, the champion likely would have gotten the finish a round earlier. As it was, it only took the Brazilian 18 seconds into the second frame to finish the job. Pereira improved his record to 11-2, and Prochazka dropped to 30-5-1, though his only losses in the UFC have come to Pereira. The champion earned one of four performance b

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs beat Cronulla Sutherland Sharks after Matt Burton field goal in golden point

 Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs beat Cronulla Sutherland Sharks after Matt Burton field goal in golden point Canterbury Bankstown has edged Cronulla 15-14 at the Olympic stadium as Matt Burton kicked a golden point field goal to move the Bulldogs to fifth on the ladder. It was third-time lucky for Burton, the ball crashing into the right upright in golden point, just seconds after Nicho Hynes missed a sitter from just 20 metres out at the other end. "It's a bit of a goldfish mindset, I think," Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo said of his five-eighth. "He's just so brave. It's not easy to miss a couple and still go after it. "He had a couple of shots, and they were very close, but he learned his lessons from them and he was able to nail that last one." Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon though was disappointed after his side got themselves back into the game despite another poor start. "That will sting," he said.  The Bulldogs had lead 12-0 in the
