Legendary Director John Singleton Had A Stroke

Description

John Singleton, the first black filmmaker ever nominated for the Best Director Oscar, has reportedly suffered a “mild” stroke, according to Deadline. Singleton burst onto the scene with 1991’s Boyz N The Hood, a moving, heartbreaking portrait of young people struggling to get by in the low-income South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles. The drama helped make a star out of Cuba Gooding Jr., who played college-bound protagonist Tre, and marked the first acting credit for Ice Cube, who received accolades for his turn as tough but secretly sensitive gang member Doughboy. At the following year’s Academy Awards, Singleton was nominated for both Best Director and Best Screenplay.

  • One Of Trump's Many Former Chiefs Of Staff Says Trump Is Harming National Security

    John Kelly, former chief of staff to President Donald Trump has accused Trump of hurting national security in his refusal to concede to President-elect Joe Biden. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says Biden will not receive high-level intelligence briefings until the situation is resolved. The Trump-appointed head of the General Services Administration has declined to formally recognize Biden as the apparent or likely winner of the election. The GSA is a massive agency that keeps the federal government running and is central to facilitating the transition process from one administration to another. It's Emily Murphy's role under federal law to issue a letter of 'ascertainment' on the election results, which officially triggers the onset of the transition. According to Business Insider, the Trump campaign's many legal challenges to the election results are unlikely to go anywhere.

  • The Growing List Of Ex-Trump Administration Officials Who Are Voting For Biden

    When it comes to his Cabinet, President Donald Trump has certainly lived up to his 'Celebrity Apprentice' catchphrase, 'You're fired.' Whether they left because they resigned or were fired, the list of former Trump officials who say they'll be voting for Democratic opponent Joe Biden is growing. According to Business Insider, some have joined anti-Trump political coalitions such as The Lincoln Project, Republican Voters Against Trump, and others. Hoping to sway the votes of independent, undecided, and moderate Republicans, they've spent millions on campaign ads to oust Trump from the White House. Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor called working under Trump 'terrifying," saying many things Trump wanted the department to do were illegal. Former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, says he'll be voting for Biden. And former national security adviser John Bolton won't be voting for Trump or Biden. Instead, he'll write in the name of a conservative candidate.

In his new memoir, 'Undaunted, Brennan told Business Insider what he feels is the biggest threat to the November election: President Trump himself.
