Quick Glance: Trump Uncertain About Impact of RFK Jr. on Election

While publicly expressing confidence, Trump is unsure how independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. will influence the election.

An NBC News poll revealed Kennedy has a stronger negative impact on Trump than Biden, as Republicans view him more favorably.

Kennedy attracts voters from both major parties and faces criticism from both sides, creating a dynamic election campaign.

Democrats fear Kennedy's fame and political stances may jeopardize support for Biden, while Republicans criticize his environmental and anti-corporate positions.

Mickey, Minnie and other Disneyland character performers move one step closer to unionizing

ocregister.com/2024/04/17/mickey-minnie-and-other-disneyland-characters-move-one-step-closer-to-unionizing/

Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization

Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."

A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

NBA Rumors: 4 Insiders Say Bronny James Would Go Undrafted If He Wasn't LeBron's Son

bleacherreport.com/articles/10116580-nba-rumors-4-insiders-say-bronny-james-would-go-undrafted-if-he-wasnt-lebrons-son

Quick Glance: Bronny James: NBA Draft and Future Outlook

LeBron James's son, Bronny James, is exploring opportunities in the NBA draft. Is the USC freshman prepared for the transition to the NBA? Discussions with NBA personnel aim to evaluate his gameplay.

Despite his potential as an athlete and his selfless passing abilities, Bronny James did not deliver the desired performance as a freshman at USC. His weaknesses as a shooter and shot creator have raised doubts about his NBA readiness. James has declared for the draft while retaining his college eligibility and entering the transfer portal to keep his future options open.

Bronny's struggles as a shooter, especially with three-pointers, are highlighted by NBA experts. His lack of efficiency in scoring and limited ball-handling abilities could hinder his chances of establishing himself in the NBA.

Whether Bronny James can overcome his weaknesses and improve his game to succeed in the NBA remains to be seen. A potential return to USC or transferring to other colleges are possibilities, while his future NBA path is still uncertain.

How effective are California's homelessness programs? Audit finds state hasn't been keeping track

Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit

A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.

The son of the superstar, Bronny James, will enter the 2024 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility. To have flexibility, he will also enter the transfer portal while working out for NBA teams before making a final decision based on evaluations. Bronny's choice to simultaneously opt for the draft and the transfer portal marks the conclusion of a season at USC that began with a serious health issue and saw his remarkable return to the court in a bench role.

LeBron has publicly expressed his desire to play in the NBA with his son before the end of his Hall of Fame career. Nineteen-year-old Bronny, who completed his freshman season at USC, will participate in the 2024 NBA Draft while retaining his college eligibility. He will also utilize the transfer portal to have flexibility during his workouts with NBA teams before making a final decision based on team evaluations.

John Calipari nears deal to leave Kentucky for SEC rival Arkansas, per reports: John Calipari has been the Kentucky Wildcats' head coach since 2009 ...

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari

John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.
