The presence of NFL fan and occasional sporting commentator Donald Trump wasn’t enough to prevent a brutal loss for the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The president attended their showdown with the Detroit Lions at the Northwest Stadium in Maryland. While the Commanders were hoping to end a four-game losing streak, they were beaten by the Lions 44-22. The loss followed Trump insisting the Commanders christen their new stadium in Washington, D.C. after him. “That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN last week. Trump was invited to the game by Josh Harris, owner of the Commanders. He became the first sitting president to attend a regular-season game since Jimmy Carter in 1978. Also watching the Commanders lose were Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, House Speaker Mike Johnson and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Trump was also soundly booed by the audience during his appearance at the event. The day wasn’t a total write-off, however, with the president gifted a “Trump 47″ Commanders jersey by Harris, with a photo of the handover posted by White House Communications Advisor Margo Martin.
Lenny Wilkens, who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach, died on Sunday aged 88. Wilkens had a 15-year career as a player between 1960 and 1975 at the St. Louis Hawks, Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers. He began his coaching career in 1969 while still playing, eventually coaching teams including the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks. Wilkens coached 2,487 games, the most in NBA history, and won 1,332 games as a coach. He also won an Olympic gold medal as coach of the 1996 U.S. team. “Lenny Wilkens represented the very best of the NBA-as a Hall of Fame player, Hall of Fame coach, and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement on Sunday. “So much so that, four years ago, Lenny received the unique distinction of being named one of the league’s 75 greatest players and 15 greatest coaches of all time… I send my heartfelt condolences to Lenny’s wife, Marilyn; their children, Leesha, Randy and Jamee; and all those throughout the NBA community who were fortunate to be touched by Lenny’s leadership and generosity.” Born in Brooklyn in 1937, at the end of the Great Depression, he joined the St. Louis Hawks in 1960 and juggled playing basketball with a career as a Second Lieutenant in the Army until 1962. Wilkens served at Fort Lee, Virginia, playing for the St. Louis Hawks on weekends.

If you’re looking for a way to level up cuffing season this fall, consider your search over. Womanizer’s new Next Duo is here to heat things up—whether you’re flying solo or spending the season with your S.O.
The dual stimulator features the brand’s next-gen 3D Pleasure Air technology combined with deep G-spot vibrations, all engineered to deliver blended orgasms (that’s clitoral and vaginal stimulation happening at the same time). “Blended orgasms are unique because they activate different nerve pathways simultaneously,” explains Elisabeth Neumann, Sexologist and Head of User Research at Womanizer. “The outer clitoris and the vagina send signals through partly separate pleasure routes to the brain. This parallel activation leads to overlapping but distinct patterns of arousal. Many people describe the resulting sensations as deeper, longer-lasting, and more full-body than those from single-point stimulation.”
Womanizer Next Duo Dual Stimulator
Womanizer is calling the Next Duo its most innovative product yet—and testers agree. In trials, 97 percent of participants said they were more likely to reach a blended orgasm with the Next Duo than with any other toy. Even better, 91 percent reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less stressed afterward.
Considering that some studies show orgasms release endorphins and lower cortisol, think of this as your new go-to for pleasure and stress relief. After all, fall and winter are the perfect time to invest in your sexual wellness routine—and the Next Duo might just become the highlight of cuffing season.
Donald Trump’s Sunday journey back to D.C. was marked by his odd arrival to the Palm Beach International Airport. The President spent Friday evening to Sunday afternoon in Florida, making sure to host another garish party at Mar-a-Lago during his brief trip. As Trump was heading to the airport en route to Washington in the presidential limo known as The Beast, a glaring issue was spotted. The trunk was up, and Trump sat seemingly unaware in the back seat. CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins flagged the strange detail on X. The incident follows Trump’s slumping entry into a waiting car on Friday, which occurred shortly after he was photographed falling asleep during a White House press conference. Quickly, others on the social media platform jumped in to blast the president’s airport arrival. One commenter noted that “metaphors abound” as many others piped up with jokes about the driving faux pas. “The man who shut off food benefits for millions can’t even shut the trunk of his own limo. Symbolic, isn’t it? Everything falling apart — except his ego,
