Disney easily topped first-quarter expectations thanks in part to the box office smash “ Moana 2.” There were some oversized expectations for the animated film but “Moana 2”, originally intended as a series for the company’s streaming service before it was produced for the big screen — blew predictions out of the water. Its five-day opening set a new record for Thanksgiving moviegoing. The Walt Disney Co. earned $2.55 billion, or $1.40 per share, for the period ended Dec. 28. The Burbank, California-based company earned $1.91 billion, or $1.04 per share, in the prior-year period. Stripping out one-time charges and…

It wasn’t a big surprise to hear Nashville Predators fans booing the Canadian national anthem Monday night at Bridgestone Arena. The Predators were playing the Ottawa Senators, whose fans booed our national anthem before a game last week. It quickly became a trend in NHL arenas across Canada and at a Toronto Raptors NBA home game, so it probably was only a matter of time before reciprocal booing became a thing at U.S. venues. “It’s too bad,” Detroit Red Wings star Patrick Kane, who hails from Buffalo, N.Y., said Sunday after the U.S. anthem was booed in Vancouver. “I guess…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Alysha Clark wants to end the narrative that Athletes Unlimited and Unrivaled pits women’s basketball players against one another. Or that having two pro leagues forces players into an either or decision. Clark believes the leagues are simply providing more offseason opportunities to play basketball closer to home in order to supplement their WNBA salaries. “It addresses the issues that we’ve had as players for so many years,” Clark said. “All of us have had to go overseas and sacrifice time away from family and friends to make a living … But now there are options.” This…

President Donald Trump’s stunning proposal to forcibly transfer hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and develop it as a tourist destination faces major obstacles. The Palestinians and many others view such plans as ethnic cleansing, an attempt to drive them from their homeland after Israel’s 15-month offensive against Hamas rendered much of it uninhabitable. It was also seen as an attempt to liquidate their decades-long struggle for a state, which has wide international support. Arab countries, including Egypt and Jordan — close U.S. allies at peace with Israel — have condemned such plans and roundly rejected…
It was hushed inside a 140-year-old cathedral on the outskirts of Little Rock’s downtown as about five dozen people sat in the pews during a recent lunch break in January. The nave filled with the sounds of the Gothic church’s pipe organ, and a screen showed a man performing the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Those gathered weren’t there for church, but for the third concert in a series Colin MacKnight is performing over the next year to commemorate the 275th anniversary of Bach’s death. MacKnight, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral’s music director, is performing all of Bach’s organ works throughout 2025…

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women’s or girls’ sporting events. The order, which Trump is expected to sign at an afternoon ceremony, marks another aggressive shift by the president’s second administration in the way the federal government deals with transgender people and their rights. The president put out a sweeping order on his first day in office last month that called for the federal government to define sex as only male or female and for that to be reflected on official…
The U.S. Postal Service reversed course Wednesday, saying it would continue to accept all inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong. One day earlier, the USPS said it wouldn’t be accepting parcels from the China and Hong Kong after the U.S. imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods and ended a customs exception that allowed small value parcels to enter the U.S. without paying tax. The USPS said Wednesday that it was working with Customs and Border Protection to implement a collection process for the new China tariffs to avoid delivery disruptions. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS…
ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin paused for a moment to think while speaking to a reporter after a practice this season. “Now that you mention it,” McLaurin said, “I’ve never had a Black head coach in high school, college or the NFL. Coordinators and position coaches only.” McLaurin, like the majority of NFL players, is Black, and, like some of his colleagues, harbors concerns about the lack of Black head coaches. The Associated Press surveyed more than 65 Black players from 25 teams about the topic, and more than a third — about 36% — were…
