Columbus, OH

After the women’s 800m final at the U.S. Olympic Trials this past weekend, track fans were bombarded with comments like, “our qualifying system is broken,” and “we don’t always send the best teams to the Olympics.” The Olympic Trials are undeniably ruthless — securing a spot on Team USA for Paris requires not only hitting a qualifying standard or earning a suitably high World ranking, but also finishing in the top three of your event. To even get that chance, athletes must navigate through the rounds without any mishaps. No exceptions are made, not even for a reigning Olympic champion. This high-stakes system, where anything can happen on race day, is often seen as unpredictable — but is it really?

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
