From NPR’s Unsung Heroes column comes the story of a woman whose purse was saved from a thief by two women she didn’t know—and she wasn’t even there. She had left her purse by accident on a bench, and it was the mere optics of the situation that drove two Samaritans to become Good Samaritans.

News The Mummy Brendan Fraser Opens Up About What Went Wrong With The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor It turns out there is at least one big reason why the third Mummy movie felt so odd. By Matthew Byrd | Published on November 21, 2025 Photo: Universal Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Universal Pictures 2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is one of the great movies that doesn’t exist. That is to say that it’s a movie that technically exists (and actually performed well at the box office) but left such a minor impact on culture that it’s remarkably easy to forget it ever happened. The fact that it was the third entry in an otherwise beloved series that abandoned nearly everything about its predecessors makes it that much more obscure. Brendan Fraser returned, but Rachel Weisz did not. Weisz was replaced with Maria Bello, who essentially plays an entirely different version of the same character. Behind the scenes, the movie lost director and screenwriter Stephen Sommers as well as a host of legacy crew members. What we were left with was a strange story involving the mythical origins of the Terracotta Army that made little use of the franchise’s highlights and even less use of potentially incredible newcomers Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. It was just… bizarre. Well, the good news is that we recently learned that a fourth Mummy movie is reportedly in development. While the details of that movie (including Rachel Weisz’s rumored return) haven’t been officially confirmed yet, Brendan Fraser has been talking around it quite a bit during a press tour for his new movie Rental Family. In an interview with the Associated Press, Fraser said it’s “time to give the fans what they want” and noted that “the [Mummy movie] I wanted to make is forthcoming.” Interestingly, he also offered some insight on why the third Mummy movie turned out the way it did. “The third one was a model of … how can I say this to the AP reporter? NBC had the rights to broadcast the Olympics that year,” Fraser explains. “So they put two together and we went to China. Working in Shanghai, an incredible experience. I’m proud of the third one because I think it’s a good standalone movie. We picked up and did what we do with a different crew on deck and gave it our best shot.” Fraser’s insight regarding the timing of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing does help put that movie’s somewhat cursed production in a new light. NBC and Universal Pictures (the studio behind the Fraser-led Mummy films) combined their assets in 2004. Not long after that, a script set for a third Mummy movie set in China started to make the rounds. Fraser is seemingly suggesting that NBCUniversal saw that idea as a tie-in to the much-anticipated Beijing Olympics that could play well in the Chinese film market and let that fringe benefits of that angle be the driving force behind the project. For what it’s worth, the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor script quickly gained notoriety in the trades for being quite bad. Reportedly, an earlier version of that script included quite a bit of material that never made its way into the final film, including numerous callbacks to the first two movies. It’s possible that Weisz’s decision to leave the movie (which she later attributed to scheduling problems rather than her reported issues with the script) resulted in some of those changes. However, given that there were reportedly numerous alterations made to the script that took it quite far from its original form and into troubled production territory fairly early on (not to mention the quality of the film itself), the idea that NBCUniversal was committed to seeing the project through for other reasons starts to make sense. The shame of it all is that Tomb of the Dragon Emperor really did have the potential to be something better. The aforementioned additions of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh should have been great, and the decision to use the franchise as a vehicle for other mythologies had a lot of potential. Ultimately, though, it seems like the wheels fell off the movie pretty quickly and the studio dragged it across the finish line, partially due to corporate synergy and ulterior benefits. Here’s hoping that rumoured fourth film makes the third entry feel like even more of a blip.

After months of speculation as to what former Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, would do ahead of the 2026 elections, we now have our answer: Ryan will not be running for governor of the Buckeye State. “After careful consideration, much prayer and reflection, and after long conversations with my family, my closest friends and advisors, I’ve made the decision not to run for governor in 2026,” Ryan said in a statement. Rumors have been swirling for months about Ryan’s political plans, especially since a fellow Ohio Democrat, former Sen. Sherrod Brown, announced he was running for U.S. Senate. Brown lost last November to now Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno and is running to challenge Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, who was appointed by Gov. Mike DeWine to fill Vice President JD Vance’s seat. Vance had that Senate seat because he defeated Ryan in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race in 2022. Ryan previously served as a congressman for Ohio’s 13th Congressional District. Ryan’s announcement is surely a boon to Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign. She is still the sole Democrat facing Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in the upcoming gubernatorial election, and with Ryan opting out, likely avoids an expensive and difficult primary challenge. A statement from Acton shared with The Daily Signal focused not on Ryan, but on putting her energy into going up against Ramaswamy. “No matter what corner of the state I’m in, it’s clear Ohioans are struggling with rising costs. Whether it’s healthcare, childcare, gas or groceries, there’s too much money going out and not enough coming in. And while the special interests that run our state are doing just fine, they’ve made a mess for the rest of us, and I will not allow a billionaire Washington insider like Vivek Ramaswamy take us down an even worse path,” Acton said. “I’m running for Governor because it’s time for a change. Together, we can lower costs, give Ohioans a little breathing room, and build the Ohio we all deserve.” Acton also released a video over social media on Friday morning, the same day news spread of Ryan’s decision. The nearly two-minute video also focused on costs. Everywhere I go, Ohioans are stretched too thin — from energy bills, to healthcare costs, to property taxes and groceries. Costs keep rising while special interests call the shots. Enough is enough. I’m running for Governor so we can lower costs, give families some breathing… pic.twitter.com/dxFKmyIeHt— Dr. Amy Acton (@amyactonoh) November 21, 2025 A statement from Connie Luck, a spokesperson for the Ramaswamy campaign, focused on support from fellow Republicans for the campaign, and how Ramaswamy has used that to his advantage. “While the Democrats have spent months fighting to secure their shrinking base, Vivek has been talking to voters of all political persuasions to build an unprecedented coalition of support that includes conservative leaders and farmers to truckers and labor unions—and we’re just getting started,” Luck told The Daily Signal. Other Ohio Republicans have been quite vocal over X, including Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou. In a statement that pointed out Ryan’s decision not to run should “come as no surprise to Ohioans,” Triantafilou focused on support for Ramaswamy as he goes up against Acton, calling the choice “obvious” to support Ramaswamy for next year. pic.twitter.com/pp1MM3qPLR— Alex Triantafilou (@ChairmanAlex) November 21, 2025 Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Rob McColley, president of the Ohio Senate, also weighed in on Ryan’s decision to opt out. Like Triantafilou, LaRose and McColley stressed the unity and momentum around Ramaswamy, which has long been a focus from the Ramaswamy campaign as well as from the Ohio Republican Party. Tim Ryan’s decision not to run for governor reinforces what we already know — that @VivekGRamaswamy is a unifying, visionary leader who’s building not just a political campaign but an unstoppable movement to lead Ohio into the future. We’ve never seen a candidate for governor put…— Frank LaRose (@FrankLaRose) November 21, 2025 McColley also focused on the support from various groups that Ramaswamy has received. Speaking of how a Democrat’s “path to victory is a difficult one” in this gubernatorial race, McColley called the news about Ryan “a reflection of that.” .@VivekGRamaswamy’s remarkable unification of the Republican Party, record fundraising, and his broad coalition of support (including from labor groups) make any opponent’s path to victory a difficult one. Today’s news regarding Tim Ryan is a reflection of that.— Senator Rob McColley (@Rob_McColley) November 21, 2025 The race is regarded as “Likely Republican,” with Ramaswamy leading in most polls against Acton, including an Emerson College poll from August with a +10 lead. Acton has highlighted polls showing her with a narrow lead, however. The post Tim Ryan Makes Major Announcement in Ohio Governor’s Race appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has a bill attempting something that has challenged Republicans for years—reforming the Affordable Care Act. “Obamacare has failed to deliver on its promises: families didn’t get to keep their insurance plans, couldn’t keep their doctors, and didn’t save money – and neither did the federal government,” Scott says in a statement announcing the bill.  Scott’s bill is part of ongoing healthcare proposals and negotiations in the wake of the government shutdown. The shutdown ended after Senate Republicans guaranteed Democrats a chance to vote on the extension of pandemic-era premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year. When the credits are advanced, they function as direct subsidies to insurance companies. Before the Senate votes on these subsidies, however, Republicans are looking to make their mark on healthcare policy. “My new bill makes simple fixes to Obamacare that will make a world of difference to American families by making Americans the consumer, not the government, while giving them options and transparency,” Scott says in his statement. The bill, if passed, would allow for states to waive having to abide by certain elements of Obamacare, a “health freedom waiver program.”  These waiving states would have access to “Trump Health Freedom Accounts,” a replacement of the premium tax credits under Obamacare. These accounts would “ensure federal dollars to support families are delivered to them directly, not funneled to insurance companies,” a statement from Scott’s office reads. Other Republican senators have made proposals, too. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), has proposed giving Americans a “pre-funded flexible savings account [FSA] worth as much as the enhanced premium tax credit that they would receive.” Cassidy has argued this approach would allow Americans more flexibility in the health care they pay for and create incentives for consumers to purchase more cost-effective plans and insurers to lower prices.  (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Under Scott’s framework, consumers would not be able to use their Trump Health Freedom Accounts for transgender procedures or most abortions. Additionally, Scott’s bill would allow “Americans to shop across state lines” for health care from other states taking part in the health freedom waiver program. The bill also reinforces President Donald Trump’s June 2019 health care price transparency executive order—requiring that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) update his agency’s guidance and regulations so consumers have access to a menu of prices for medical services from different providers.

A group known for bringing legal cases against Israeli soldiers claims it is working “closely” with Europol, the law enforcement agency of the European Union.   The Hind Rajab Foundation has recently “begun working closely with Europol to assist with war crimes investigations across the European Union,” Jake Romm, the U.S. representative for The Hind Rajab Foundation said at the Gaza Tribunal event in Istanbul in October.   In November, following criticism from pro-Israeli organizations over Europol’s alleged relationship with the Hind Rajab Foundation, the group issued a statement clarifying its “cooperation” with Europol. At Europol’s invitation, the Hind Rajab Foundation spoke at Europol’s “annual meeting in The Hague” this fall, according to the nonprofit organization. “This invitation forms part of a broader communication process and an exploration of possible cooperation between HRF and Europol,” the Hind Rajab Foundation said in the statement, going on to explain that the group’s General Director Dyab Abou Jahjah, “addressed the assembled delegations during a session organized specifically for the foundation.” NGO Monitor, a research institute based in Jerusalem, published findings this week also alleging that Europol is cooperating with the Hind Rajab Foundation, a group whose leaders have made public comments disparaging against the state of Israel and Zionism, and even have ties to Hezbollah.   Europol told The Daily Signal it has “been in contact with the Hind Rajab Foundation,” adding that they take “necessary due diligence steps when engaging with such stakeholders,” but Europol did not comment on Romm’s claim that his organization is working “closely” with the EU agency.   The Hind Rajab Foundation, in its own words, uses litigation to pursue “justice in response to the crimes against humanity, war crimes and human rights violations perpetrated by the Israeli state against Palestinians.” But critics of the group argue it has espousing anti-Israel rhetoric and even has ties to radical Islamic terrorists.   The Hind Rajab Foundation “focuses on doxing and launching legal cases against Israelis who have served in the [Israel Defense Forces]“, the Anti-Defamation League writes in its assessment of the group, noting that military service is mandatory in Israel.   Dyab Abou Jahjah, the organization’s chairman, has made multiple statement on social media over the years that NGO Monitor and the Anti-Defamation League have raised concerns over. On Oct. 7, 2023, the day Hamas terrorists entered Israel and killed 1,200 people and took another 251 hostage, Abou Jahjah wrote on social media:   “These Palestinian resistance fighters entering these settlements are all refugees whose parents were ethnically cleansed from these villages in 1948/1967. Anyone neglecting this fact is not seriously engaging in a conversation but is spreading Israeli propaganda, whether willfully or not.”  A year later in October 2024, he called the modern “Hebrew language” a “Frankenstein of a language, hideous in its very essence, just like that illegitimate state whose official language it claims to be.”   Screenshot The Hind Rajab Foundation’s executive also has known ties to Hezbollah. During an interview with The New York Times in 2003, Abou Jahjah, who grew up in Lebanon, said he joined Hezbollah as a teen and received some military training from the terrorist group, adding, “I’m still very proud of that.”   Romm, the organization’s U.S. representative, has also made antisemitic statements online, writing for Parapraxis Magazine in 2024 that “the Zionist has the atrocity they have always longed for, one which would give concrete form to their persecution fantasies and let loose their desire for murder: an annihilatory response masquerading as self-defense as genocidal violence often is.”   In a post on X on March 27, Romm wrote: “Hamas is the only group meaningfully working to return the hostages,” adding that the war between Israel and Hamas “would end tomorrow if Israel simply laid down its arms, exiled all its military and government leaders, and self abolished, but the “return the hostages now” crowd refuses to be sensible.” Hamas is the only group meaningfully working to return the hostages.If you wear the dumb yellow ribbon you should also pop on the green headband for consistency, because they’re your only allies in that fight.— Jake Romm (@jake_romm) March 27, 2025 NGO Monitor Vice President Olga Deutsch told The Daily Signal that it is “not enough to designate terror organizations.”  “In today’s world, terror groups routinely fundraise and operate across the West via affiliated organizations to get around these designations. To truly fight terror, the EU, Europol and others must recognize affiliate groups like Hind Rajab Foundation for what they are: terror fronts,” Deutsch said. “And they must empower local law enforcement agencies to take all necessary measures to crack down on them in tandem.”   The post Group Known for Suing Israeli Soldiers Claims ‘Cooperation’ With Key EU Agency   appeared first on The Daily Signal.

A bipartisan bill is making its way through Congress that could have major ramifications for how Big Tech operates in the United States. The legislation is called the App Store Freedom Act, and was introduced in the House of Representatives back in May by Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla. In a press conference hosted by Cammack on Friday, the Florida congresswoman explained the reasoning behind her bill, which is cosponsored by three Democrats and two Republicans. “Imagine for a moment if parents got together and said, ‘We’re going to build a marketplace that is built of apps that kids will be safe on,” Cammack said. According to Cammack’s office the bill would create more consumer choice in the app store marketplace by “requiring large app store operators (100M+ U.S. users) to allow users to set third-party apps or app stores as default; install apps or app stores outside of the dominant platform; and remove or hide pre-installed apps.”  The legislation also “prohibits app stores from forcing developers to use the company’s in-app payment system, imposing pricing parity requirements, and punishing developers for distributing their apps elsewhere.” Addressing the criticism that if the bill became law it could lead to people’s devices being less safe, Cammack noted that Apple already hosts TikTok and Temu. “They can spare me on the argument that they are vetting these apps and protecting consumers when they have Chinese developed and maintained VPNs on their platform,” Cammack said,  The Daily Signal asked Cammack why she had decided to take on Big Tech given the significant resources they had already deployed against her legislation.  “Many people are positive reinforcement people. I’m a negative reinforcement person, and so when someone says it can’t be done, I am always up for that fight,” the Florida congresswoman told The Daily Signal. “I grew up in an era of both analog and digital, so I understand both sides, but I have watched the evolution of the marketplace grow and can speak to the technology in ways that some of my counterparts perhaps can’t,” Cammack continued. Cammack’s legislation is earning support from advocates seeking to protect kids from the harms of technology, including Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project, Clare Morell, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and Aiden Buzzetti, the president of the Bull Moose Project. The attempt at reform of Big Tech practices comes as Congress and individual states have vigorously debated legislation related to protecting children online and proactively defending Americans from potential harms of advances in artificial intelligence. A recent attempt to punish individual states that have passed laws regulating AI was defeated in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

And as it was being pitched, I had no less than six members ask me to help them download it,” Cammack explained. Cammack said that there was currently a substantial lobbying effort against her bill.  “Apple could rival Tiktok in the amount of lobbyists that they employ, truthfully, because they are emailing, knocking on our door, banging on our door,” the Florida congresswoman said.  “And I know from my conversations with leadership, they are making the rounds through the leadership offices as often as they possibly can,” Cammack added.

After nearly a year of effort, a rescuer finally brought a big street cat to safety, only to discover he was a gentle giant with plenty to say. Bundt CakeHaleyHaley, a dedicated volunteer with Thrifted Kittens Animal Rescue, has spent countless hours caring for a colony of 27 cats, getting them spayed, neutered, and ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.One by one, the colony's tomcats were rescued. Eventually, only one remained: a street-smart cat named Bundt Cake. "He let me sit pretty close to him, but he never went in the (humane) trap," Haley shared."And did that man eat, from chicken nuggets to rotisserie chicken." HaleyBundt Cake had been through his fair share of territorial battles, wearing the scars to prove it. He survived two unforgiving winters, always alert to his surroundings. He began to recognize Haley—not fully trusting, but aware she always brought food.Over time, he started watching her from a distance. HaleyAfter countless attempts and almost a full year of trying, Haley finally brought the last tomcat off the streets. She and her team continued their work rescuing the remaining cats. "Hopefully, this will be the start to the end."For what was likely the first time in his life, Bundt Cake settled into a quiet indoor space. Though nervous, he didn't have a mean bone in his body. HaleyHaley expected Bundt Cake would take a while to adjust to indoor life, but he had other plans.After spending some time decompressing, he bravely stepped out of his carrier and began exploring. Before long, he turned to his foster mom and started meowing with all his heart. His raspy voice sounded like a feline chain-smoker. Behind his battle scars and oversized cheeks was a gentle soul eager for affection. Haley"Within 30 minutes of me sitting with him, he was purring, making biscuits, and yelling in my face."He couldn't get enough food, devouring every meal as if it were his last. He fell in love with blankets, kneading them like a seasoned baker and rubbing his cheeks into the soft fabric, soaking up every bit of comfort. Haley"He also wonders where I go all day and why I can't just stay in there with him 24/7."When Haley played a video of him meowing, Bundt Cake responded immediately, as if recognizing his own raspy voice, offering up a deluge of opinions. "He's simply the easiest feral cat I've ever had, and we thank him for that." HaleyPerhaps Bundt Cake realized he no longer had to fight for survival or scavenge for food. Indoor life, with its steady meals and endless affection, suited him beautifully. "He is the life of the party and always has something to say," the rescue shared."He thrives on catnip and is perfectly content just lounging around all day." HaleyAlong with his love of soft blankets, Haley discovered he also adored other cats. Even when some greeted him with hisses, he welcomed them into his space, sharing his blankets and toys. "He wants to be friends with all of his foster siblings. He's the whole package."At two years old, Bundt Cake, the former street cat, is living the good life. HaleyNo more wandering the streets or wondering what tomorrow might bring, Bundt Cake now spends his days in warmth and comfort, filling his foster home with loud purrs, dreamy slow blinks, and his trademark raspy meows.

Media Research Center founder and President Emeritus Brent Bozell, President Donald Trump's pick to serve as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, advanced to the final stage of the confirmation process Thursday when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to send his nomination to the full chamber. Despite opposition by Democrats, the committee voted for Bozell to receive a final confirmation vote by the full Senate, where Republicans hold a slim majority. If confirmed, Bozell will fill the post vacated by former ambassador Reuben Brigety, who resigned in January. Bozell served as president of the Media Research Center from its founding in 1987 until May of this year when he stepped down in order to answer Trump's call to serve in the administration. His son, ForAmerica President David Bozell, now leads the Media Research Center and expressed his excitement about the vote: Super excited for my father @BrentBozell, MRC's Founder and President Emeritus. This morning he was advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the full United States Senate for confirmation as United States Ambassador to South Africa. ???????? — David Bozell ?? (@DavidBozell) November 20, 2025 The final confirmation vote has yet to be scheduled, but is expected to be held before year's end. A simple majority vote, which appears likely, is required to approve the nomination.

It seems some male basketball players are tired of having their skill levels compared to WNBA players.After a former NBA player said the 2025 WNBA champions could beat an NBA team, a group of ballers decided to set the record straight with brutal honesty about how a matchup between the two sets of pros would play out.'I wish this would stop being a conversation.'NBA players Michael Porter Jr., Lonzo Ball, and former pro LiAngelo Ball brought up the comparison of NBA players versus WNBA players on a recent episode of the "Ball in the Family Podcast."In just the second episode of the show's existence, Porter decided he would contribute to its newsworthiness by asking the panel if they had heard that WNBA star Paige Bueckers claimed she could beat an NBA player head-to-head."Did you see when she said that she would beat Josh Hart one-on-one?" Porter asked."No chance," the panel unanimously agreed, stating there was too big of a skill gap between Hart, who has averaged more than 10 points per game in his career, and a female pro.The group then discussed what the age-appropriate matchup between a male and female basketball player would be, prompting the panel to drop brutal truths."Probably eighth grade," Porter theorized, revealing he had actual experience playing against female college players as a teen."My sisters went to University of Missouri, and I was still a young dude, and they had me playing on the scout team, and they had a few WNBA players on their team, like Sophie Cunningham and a couple others. I think I was in seventh or eighth grade," Porter continued.He noted that he did indeed crush his female competitors at that time. "It's just a difference. I wish this would stop being a conversation because it should be common sense. But like, it's just not," he said.Any viewers who thought the other panel members would jump to the defense of female players at this point were sorely mistaken. Particularly Lonzo Ball pulled no punches.RELATED: Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter banned from NBA for life after disclosing info to bettor for $1.1 million bet "I mean this as respectfully as possible, but ninth-grade Lonzo Ball in the WNBA is going crazy," he said, speaking in third person.Ball then brought out the measuring stick:"In ninth grade, I was over six feet and dunking. I'm coming through the lane. No girl in the WNBA is doing that. I'm going backdoor, 'Throw it up!' I'm looking like Jordan out there," he said.Ball is no slouch in the NBA, and his 11-points per-game career average gives him the basis to make these claims."I mean this so respectfully. Middle school [and] down," he added. Earlier in the podcast, Porter outed his pro team for having reprimanded him in the past for talking about the differences between male and female players.He explained that even within the Brooklyn Nets organization, "We've had conversations. They would appreciate if I stayed clear of certain topics, you know what I mean? That's why the WNBA thing, that's just a topic that kind of — it's so sensitive nowadays. So I try to be aware of that."According to OutKick, Porter had previously strongly implied that if the WNBA All-Star team or the women's Team USA basketball squad played the best male high school basketball players in the country, the boys would easily beat the women."It's one of them things, bro. You can't dance around it. In high school, when I was in high school ... if we played the WNBA All-Star team, that, no disrespect, bro. No disrespect. I'm not even gonna say it," Porter reportedly said.RELATED: 'They're all hot garbage': Whitlock goes NUCLEAR on the WNBA Las Vegas Aces holds up the championship trophy after winning Game Four of the 2025 WNBA Playoffs finals at Mortgage Matchup Center on October 10, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona.
