MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Consider their game Friday a sharp reminder and a series of back-to-reality moments for the Knicks. They may be improved. They may be considerably better than the 37-win outfit from last season. But they aren’t in the same stratosphere as the title-contending Bucks. Even without key players Joe Ingles, Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton, Milwaukee, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, toyed with the Knicks for two quarters and then ran them off the court in the third. Antetokounmpo got Mitchell Robinson in foul trouble and dominated the other Knicks. Jrue Holiday put on a third-quarter show. The Knicks’…

No bad blood! Yung Gravy and Addison Rae’s mom, Sheri Easterling, may have called it quits on their brief romance — but the two remain good pals.  “We still keep in touch a lot,” the rapper 26, told ET Canada in an interview published on Friday, October 28. “It wouldn’t make sense for us to date because we live in different cities, but we keep in touch. Any show I have in Louisiana, she’ll be there.” The pair initially raised eyebrows when they attended the 2022 MTV VMA’s together in August when they were spotted making out on the red carpet.…

CNN  —  Former President Barack Obama described Herschel Walker as “a celebrity that wants to be a politician” during a speech Friday night in Georgia, lauding the Republican Senate nominee as “one of the best running backs of all time,” but someone who is not equipped to be a United States senator. Obama went point-for-point against Walker, calling him “someone who carries around a phony badge and says he is in law enforcement like a kid playing cops and robbers,” attacking his “issues of character” and his “habit of not telling the truth,” and describing him as someone who is…

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott was visibly emotional Friday evening as he updated the media on the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in their home hours earlier. Scott said the attack, in which Pelosi, 82, was struck with a hammer by a man who broke into the home in the early morning hours was “not a random act.” David DePape, 42, was arrested after officers responded to the residence and saw him struggling with Pelosi over a hammer. When officers ordered both men to drop the weapon, DePape pulled it away and struck Pelosi with…

It was meant to honour the De Havilland Beaver — a Canadian aviation workhorse — but a small stamp is causing a big upheaval in Canadian aviation circles. Canada Post unveiled the new stamp to much acclaim on Oct. 13 as part of its Canadians in Flight series, honouring the country’s achievements in aviation. The Crown corporation even sent its chief executive to British Columbia to mark the event. Victoria-based Viking Air owns the plans and tools used to build the Beaver and, crucially, spare parts.But sharp-eyed aviation historians noticed a flaw. The aircraft pictured on the stamp bears the…

WASHINGTON: The United States said on Friday (Oct 28) its policy towards North Korea had not changed after a senior US official responsible for nuclear policy raised some eyebrows by saying Washington would be willing to engage in arms-control talks with Pyongyang. Some experts argue that recognising North Korea as a nuclear-armed state, something Pyongyang seeks, is a prerequisite for such talks. But Washington has long argued that the North Korean nuclear program is illegal and subject to United Nations sanctions. Bonnie Jenkins, State Department under secretary for arms control, was asked at a Washington nuclear conference on Thursday at…
