Rollerballis a 1975 American [6] dystopian science-fiction sports film directed and produced by Norman Jewison [7], starring James Caan. The screenplay, written by William Harrison [8], adapted his own short story "Roller Ball Murder" [1], which had first appeared in the September 1973 issue of Esquire magazine [9]. Set in a "not too distant" future world ruled by a corporatocracy, the predictive film centers on the titular sport — an often-brutal spectacle used to placate the populace. Jonathan E. (played by Caan), the sport's top player, finds himself at odds with the ruling powers when his popularity threatens to hurt their grip on power. It co-stars John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn, and Ralph Richardson. More
Peaceful and legal protests and demonstrations have intensified in Minnesota after federal immigration agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse [like they executed Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother] who worked in the Minneapolis Veterans Health Care System, on Saturday.
ICE: Shoot 'n keep shootin
Democracy Now!'s John Hamilton reports from the scene where innocent Pretti was shot to death, where protesters are clashing with federal agents.
“We’ve seen everything from [teargassed] people that are unconscious, that have fainted, tear-gassed, bruised, bloody noses, can’t breathe,” said Melissa, a local resident.
State Senator Omar Fateh responded to the killing with outrage: “He had a camera on his hand. He was tackled, he was pummeled, and he was executed.” VIDEO:

Satire is a dangerous thing in a post-ironic world with so many citizens suffering from severe irony deficiency, but we carry on. Did viewers send strongly worded complaint letters to The Simpsons, protesting this comically ironic episode? Blaming a scapegoat was done then, and Trump does it now. It seems Hitler's Nazis did it, too, and biblical Jews before them, where it was literally invented that Yaldabaoth (Yahweh) demanded blood, blood sacrifice, and killing to cleanse the people with blood.

Jeff did it. I just watched. I mean, I never knew!
The first suit over the alleged rapes [child molestations of child under 14 by Trump and Epstein] was filed in federal court in Riverside, California, in April by someone acting without an attorney and using the name “Katie Johnson.” That suit named both Trump and Epstein as defendants, alleging that the two men held Johnson as a “sex slave” and repeatedly forced her to engage in sexual acts against her will.

In Mexico, it is common for people to associate red hair with the Irish soldiers who fought for Mexico. They were Los Patricios, "Saint Patrick's Battalion," during the Mexican–American War. Speaking about his ancestry, Canelo Álvarez once said, "There might have been an Irish grandfather somewhere back in my past" [18]. Canelo's neighbors nicknamed him "Jícama con Chile," which translates as "white root with red chili flakes" — a popular snack in Mexico and Los Angeles [20].
