Quick Glance: USC Main Commencement Canceled Amid Gaza War Protests

Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Universities are grappling with protests that could disrupt upcoming commencement ceremonies and are considering changes to regulations regarding encampments and exams.

Some students demand schools sever ties with Israel, leading to accusations of antisemitism and concerns about safety on campus.

The wave of protests, inspired by events at Columbia University, has led to civil rights investigations into universities facing protests and complaints of discrimination amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Chicago 2024 Sees Steven Spielberg On Board With Joe Biden For DNC & Reelection Campaign

deadline.com/2024/04/steven-spielberg-joe-biden-dnc-reelection-1235896662/

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence

President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

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.
