New Yorkers may not get the chance to attend NBA Finals Game 5 — which could be the last game of the championship series — thanks to a rule blocking out-of-town fans from purchasing tickets to the San Antonio-based game. A Ticketmaster warning shows sales for Game 5, which might see the New York Knicks win the NBA Finals for the first time in 53 years, are limited to fans within a 150-mile radius of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. “Residency will be based on credit card billing address,” the warning reads. “Orders by residents outside of a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center will be canceled without notice and refunds given.” The Ticketmaster rule has been in effect for the entire playoffs, according to social media users. Other ticket sites, however, including StubHub and SeatGeek, do not appear to restrict ticket sales to specific locations. The New York Knicks currently lead the series 3-1 over the San Antonio Spurs. If the Knicks win Game 5, the team will secure the NBA title for the first time since 1973. If the team loses, the series will return to Madison Square Garden for Game 6. This is the Knicks’ first Finals appearance since 1999, when the New York team lost to the Spurs. The Spurs’ last appeared in the NBA Finals in 2014, when the team defeated the Miami Heat to win the championship. Despite the roadblock from Ticketmaster, fans from New York and New Jersey have already purchased 45% of Game 5 tickets, as reported by the New York Post. According to the Post, some New Yorkers bought Game 5 tickets because they were cheaper than tickets to Madison Square Garden, the Post reported. The cheapest seats for Game 5 cost around $1,000 on Ticketmaster, while the best seats cost anywhere from $10,000 to $36,000. In contrast, the cheapest tickets for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden cost around $5,000 — with courtside tickets going for as much as $100,000, The Daily Wire previously reported. Win or lose, the Knicks have already made history in their Finals run. The team won Game 4 with a 29-point comeback, the largest in NBA Finals history.

Thus United States joined with Venezuela in a joint strike targeting Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero, marking a new era of cooperation in the wake of former dictator Nicolàs Maduro’s arrest. Trump shared details of the strike late on Friday evening — along with footage — touting the cooperation with Venezuela and saying that he was making good on his promise to eradicate the gangs no matter where they chose to hide. FROM @POTUS — At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.

As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” General Francis L. Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, also praised the joint operation with Venezuela: “We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization’s leader … Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth describe the operation as proof that the United States and Venezuela were committed to taking the fight to those who would participate in narco-terrorism and “deny them any safe haven.” “TdA founder & leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, aka ‘Niño Guerrero,’ was confirmed killed during the strike. The operation underscores the shared U.S. and Venezuelan commitment to take the fight to narco-terrorists and deny them any safe haven in our hemisphere. We will continue to work closely with security partners, like Venezuela — and counties in the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) partners — to take the fight to our enemies,” Hegseth posted.

Throngs of out-of-control teenagers hit Horny Corner beach in Long Beach, California, sparking fights that caused police to detain several teens June 11. Video shows hundreds of teenagers crowding Horny Corner, Rosie’s Dog Beach, and nearby streets Thursday evening, which was the first night of summer break for multiple schools in the area, according to the New York Post. Residents called the police after girls in bikini tops began punching each other, the Post reported — and police responded, but the local chief warned that continued disturbances would only create more risks by drawing officers away from emergency calls and other responsibilities. “Large-scale disturbances like this deplete our resources and divert our officers from addressing other safety concerns in Long Beach, including emergency responses,” Long Beach Police Chief Wally Hebeish said in a statement from the Long Beach Police Department. Police officers arrived in the area within five minutes of the first call, around 7 p.m., and began breaking up the crowd of roughly 200 teenagers at Horny Corner, according to the LBPD’s statement. Another fight a few blocks away led police to detain multiple teens, according to the Post. Teens were still in the area around 9:45 p.m., at which point police took five teenagers to their parents after citing them for violating curfew, the LBPD’s statement said. The gathering began as a celebration of the end of the school year, but quickly escalated into a brawl, Long Beach residents told CBS News. “I was happy to see them all here at first,” resident Charles Cobb told the outlet. “It looked like they were all having a good time. But then, once it started getting out of hand, just a poor representation for us.” The police also received reports that one of the teenagers had a gun. Despite detaining multiple people, police did not arrest anyone. “I think it’s very irresponsible,” resident Erick Rodriguez told CBS. “Go to the theme park. Pick up a sport. Go to the beach. Something productive instead of going out and causing trouble.” The LBPD is maintaining an increased presence in the area, according to the statement. “When inappropriate activity occurs, our response will be prompt, direct, and focused,” Hebeish said. “We will maintain an enhanced presence throughout the weekend, and any form of violent behavior or law violations will not be tolerated.”

Fast food chain Chick-fil-A has launched its first non-chicken kids meal featuring one of customers’ favorite sides: macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese kids meal features a medium cup of macaroni and cheese, made with Chick-fil-A’s blend of Parmesan, Cheddar, and Romano cheeses. The meal also includes a side, a drink, and a toy. The fast food chain — famous for chicken — first introduced macaroni and cheese as a been a side item for regular meals in 2019. The new kids meal reflects customers’ requests for more flexible menu options for children who do not like chicken. A February Reddit thread was filled with users excited about the idea of a macaroni and cheese kids meal. “This really seems like a no brainer [sic] to me,” one user said. “I didn’t eat meat as a kid and would have loved to have this option.” The kids meal is now available at participating locations for $6.75. “My kids absolutely love their Mac and Cheese and one of [them] won’t touch the nuggets,” another Reddit user said. “I’d love to see them add a Mac and Cheese kids meal.” This is the first time Chick-fil-A has offered a non-chicken entree in a kids meal. Its other options include regular or grilled chicken nuggets and chicken strips. Customers can choose from sides including applesauce, a fruit cup, and waffle fries. Drink options include apple juice, chocolate milk, regular milk, and orange juice. The new meal is being debuted alongside several new kids meal toys as well, according to Fox Business. The toys include a Cow Case with foldable games, a Cow Kart cardboard racer, a keychain, and Hasbro Cow Games. The kids meal was introduced as Chick-fil-A announced the return of seasonal summer menu items such as the pineapple dragonfruit lemonade, the honey pepper pimiento sandwich, and the peach milkshake.

Embattled former First Son Hunter Biden offered an extensive defense of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, arguing that his critics should be the first to reveal the contents of their own phones. Biden, speaking with Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), explained away everything from Platner’s Nazi-inspired tattoo to his apparent history of troubling behavior with women before arguing that he made up for any shortcomings by taking appealing political positions. Biden also suggested that Platner’s issues were irrelevant anyway, since the people raising concerns about him were probably equally dirty. WATCH: Newsom raised the question about Platner, who has faced a number of controversies since he rose to the top of the heap in Maine, asking Biden what he made of the way things had played out in recent weeks. “What do think in the context of authenticity versus the audacity frame of Platner as a — as, you know, an example?” Newsom asked, referencing Platner’s tattoo and vulgar comments he’d made on social media. Biden began by attributing Platner’s previous behavior to his military service and his struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, alluding to his own troubled history as a drug addict and suggesting that he of all people would recognize someone who was trying to right his own course. “He’s not saying something new today that he wasn’t saying four months ago,” Biden said. “Or five months ago, which is this: he was a veteran, a combat veteran, and when he came back he had some real issues with PTSD, and that trauma, and whatever way that he was working it out, I think he has been really open about … he wasn’t a good person.” Biden then compared Platner’s struggles to his own, saying that he knew how much “stamina” and “courage” it took to turn things around. He went on to declare that he was “99% certain that Graham Platner is no Nazi,” and argued that people should stay out of the Maine Democrat’s relationship with his wife. “I always say to people, like, show me your phone,” Biden continued, and Newsom laughed. “Give me access to your iCloud. Let’s go through it and pull everything that we can that is inappropriate, that is off-color, that is — you know, that selfie that you took when you were drunk off your ass and you sent it to your blah, blah, blah. Like, show me your phone!” Biden argued that, by that standard, no one would ever be qualified to hold public office — and appeared to suggest that for that reason, people should ignore the furor around Platner. In his final defense, Biden said he did not believe Platner was abusive, and he was worth supporting because no matter what his personal issues might be, he supported things like government-provided free healthcare and sticking it to billionaires.
