'The Dog Stars' trailer shows Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin surviving post-apocalyptic world

A new trailer has dropped for the upcoming movie "The Dog Stars."

Basic info:

BONE-CHILLING PREVIEW RELEASED FOR STEVEN SPIELBERG'S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED UFO MOVIE 'DISCLOSURE DAY'

There has been some significant hype for "The Dog Stars" ever since the first preview was released. I've never read the book, and likely won't before the movie comes out.

However, I know a fire trailer when I see one, and the new one for the post-apocalyptic thriller is absolutely outstanding.

It's a shot of adrenaline to the soul, and it looks like the exact kind of movie made for guys who love action, suspense and high stakes in a world where civilization has collapsed.

Check out the preview below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Seriously, how great does this film look? It has all the ingredients to be a successful film. Ridley Scott is a legendary director. "Black Hawk Down" remains arguably the best war movie ever made, and his list of accomplishments runs long.

The cast is also loaded with Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley. Three legit grade-A talents. What's not to love?

Powerful LGBTQ+ group's endorsements could tank vulnerable Dems over radical youth trans agenda

Endorsements from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a pro-LGBTQ+ advocacy group, are raising questions about whether the candidates they’ve endorsed hold the same beliefs as the organization — stances that could fly in the face of attempts to paint a moderate image.

The endorsements highlight the struggle candidates face to manage their associations — especially on topics and in areas that may draw controversy.

Among their stances, HRC has a few that put it solidly in the progressive camp.

TALARICO CAMPAIGNS WITH SURGEON WHO OPERATED ON TRANSGENDER MINORS: ‘WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING’

The organization has supported gender-affirming care for minors in the form of puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It has also opposed state restrictions on their implementation and has promoted elementary school lessons on gender identity, resisted efforts to restrict Critical Race Theory and promoted removing police from schools.

"Our goal is to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, and particularly those of us who are trans, people of color and HIV+, are treated as full and equal citizens within our movement, across our country and around the world," the organization states on its website.

The organization has advocated fiercely against virtually all LGBTQ+ restrictions.

In one such case, after the Supreme Court ruled that parents had a right to pull their children out of LGBTQ+ classes and lessons, HRC blasted the decision.

"This decision elevates the religious beliefs of some parents, who believe that being LGBTQ+ is wrong, over any acknowledgement in the classroom that LGBTQ+ young people and their families exist," the organization said in a statement.

In 2026, the organization endorsed 11 Democratic newcomers and 18 incumbents in battleground districts.

Among them, HRC has endorsed members like Rep. Josh Riley, D-N.Y., Derek Tran, D-Calif., and Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, — all of whom won their races by less than five points.

Those members did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital on whether they stood by HRC’s positions.

Headed into the midterms, HRC framed their success as key to taking pressure off of the LGBTQ+ community from the Trump administration.

"Our community is facing an all-out assault on our rights and its coming from a congressional majority bowing to Trump and his MAGA followers. They’re trying to strip away our freedoms and push us back into the closet while doing nothing to meet the urgent needs of the American people," the group’s president, Kelley Robinson, said in a statement.

In the past, some of the candidates HRC has endorsed have framed their appreciation as a matter of shared interest in anti-discrimination.

That was the way Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., acknowledged their endorsement of him in a 2023 special election.

"I am grateful for the support and endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign. This will be a tough race, and the support of HRC, which has been dedicated to anti-discrimination research, advocacy and education for more than 40 years, means a great deal to me," Suozzi said.

HRC has renewed its endorsement of Suozzi in the 2026 midterms.

The organization did not immediately respond to questions about what factors go into their endorsement process or whether they ask candidates for permission before publicly endorsing them.

Practicing pole dancing in living room sounds like a good idea until you make it rain and flood your apartment

If you want to get better at something, you have to practice. It's how you develop skills, even those of the pole dancing variety.

You're not going to hop on the pole and be elite without some effort. That's just not how it works, even the best of the best have to work at it.

A Houston woman decided that she would work on her pole dancing skills from the comfort of her living room. What better place to get in some extra work? I can't think of any.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

She put up a pole, tossed on a tutorial video, started recording her practice session, and got to work. Then, out of nowhere, the pole slipped and struck a sprinkler head in the ceiling of her apartment.

Asha Gilbert had accidentally made it rain inside of her apartment. The sprinkler poured water down from the ceiling and flooded her apartment.

"I went into shock and was completely stunned," she said, reports FOX 26 Houston. "My main concern was for my dog."

The video shows her running out of the apartment as the water continued to rain down. She and the dog reportedly made it out before the fire department arrived on the scene.

It's a good time to remind everyone that there are risks associated with pole dancing. One of those risks if you're on a pole you've installed in your own living room is slippage.

Before you hit the pole with everything you have, you should really double-check that the pole itself is ready for action. You don’t want to rip a sprinkler head out of your ceiling or have the pole carelessly toss you to the ground.

Neither of those outcomes will help you become better on the pole and that's why you have the tutorial video on and the pole installed in the living room in the first place.

Be careful out there as you work on those pole dancing skills in the comfort of your own living room and, by all means, don't let a little setback keep you from improving your skills.

NFL fans roast NBC analyst after Tom Brady's low placement on controversial QB ranking

Just because the NFL’s regular season doesn’t begin until September doesn’t mean passionate fans have taken a hiatus from debating controversial lists.

NBC football analyst Chris Simms is currently in the crosshairs of those fans after the 45-year-old ranked the greatest quarterbacks of all time based only on the primes of their careers.

To the shock of many fans, Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, was not at the top of that list. Simms ranked Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning No. 1.

But Brady wasn’t the No. 2- or No. 3-ranked quarterback either. The New England Patriots legend was ranked by Simms as the No. 9 quarterback that he would choose of all time in his prime.

Here is Simms' full list.

Simms was eviscerated in the comment section for his decision to leave Brady so low.

"Bro, Brady threw for 5,000 yards and 50 TD’s and went 16-0 in his prime and 14 years later he threw for 5,300 yards and 43 touchdowns. His prime lasted a decade and a half and was better than anyone’s peak," one user wrote.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION GREG HAWTHORNE DEAD AT 69

The user referenced Brady’s 2007 season, when he helped the lead the Patriots to an undefeated regular season. Brady led the NFL in completion percentage (68.9%), yards (4,806), and touchdowns (50) that season.

The other season the user referenced was Brady’s penultimate season, his age-44 season, when he led the NFL in yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43).

Another user wondered if Simms had personal bias toward Brady.

"What did Tom Brady do to make Chris Simms hate him," the user posted with a laughing-crying emoji.

Another user called the list "a joke," while others used emojis to laugh at the absurdity of Brady’s placement.

A different fan questioned the criteria for the controversial list.

"I support anybody that realizes Brady is overrated. That said, what is the criteria for this? Longevity, peak? Eye test? Needs more clarity. No idea how Elway is that high," the user wrote.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

One X user criticized the list, not because of Brady's ranking but because of to the exclusion of another Pro Football Hall of Famer.

"Any all-time list without the great Joe Montana is just trash and not to be taken seriously," the user wrote.

Simms did have one commenter who agreed with his ranking of Manning over Brady.

"Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of all-time and I’m tired of people acting like he’s not. Brady wanted to be as good as Manning for the first four years of his career. Brady has said so himself. Manning was absolutely unbelievable with the Colts. Brady is the best player of all-time. His achievements are clearly second to none, but Manning was the better QB," the user wrote.

Other fans took issue with the inclusion of Allen and Jackson on the list.

"Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson over Dan Marino and Tom Brady is so stupid," one user wrote.

"OMG what a joke, Lamar and Josh don’t even belong near this list…" another user posted.

A different user questioned Staubach’s presence on the list.

"Brady is 1, Montana 2. Jackson and Allen do not belong with this group. Elway should be much lower. Not sure about Staubach belonging here either," the user wrote.

Simms played in the NFL for eight seasons and spent one season as a coaching assistant for the Patriots. He played his college football at Texas.

MLB commissioner says Trump 'interested' in MLB CBA negotiations but 'will pass' on potential help

President Donald Trump has tried his hand at helping college sports, and if it were up to him, he'd probably do the same for Major League Baseball.

The league's current collective bargaining agreement expires in December, and with the sides perhaps as far apart as they've been since 1994, the 2027 season is in limbo.

Many may remember the 2022 season was delayed because of an owners' lockout after the expiration of the previous CBA that December. However, the sentiment at the time among baseball experts was, if you thought that was bad, wait until 2026.

Well, 2026 is here, and they weren't kidding. The owners, for the first time since 1994, have formally proposed a salary cap, which players have said is nonnegotiable.

Ahead of Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred spoke to reporters, and one asked whether he thought Trump would intervene in the negotiations.

Manfred did not want to "speculate" about Trump's potential involvement.

"Look, I think it would be wildly, wildly inappropriate for me to speculate what the president of the United States might do or not do in a hypothetical situation," Manfred said. "We know this. He's a great sports fan, and he is really knowledgeable about the business of sports, so it doesn't surprise me."

Manfred did say, however, that Trump is "interested," but it doesn't yet seem he wants his help.

"Behind that, I'm going to pass," he said.

Last month, Trump said it is "shocking" the league does not yet have a salary cap.

MLB PLAYERS, OWNERS AT ODDS OVER POTENTIAL OLYMPIC PARTICIPATION, INCLUDING PUNISHMENT FOR DECLINING: REPORT

"If you don't have a salary cap, you don't have a sport. They can't help themselves. In sports, they can't help themselves. Football has a salary cap. They should have done it a long time ago. I know so much about sports, they should have done it a long time ago...

"Major League Baseball — it's shocking, frankly, that they didn't put a cap on many years ago. They had a chance to do a cap, and they blew it."

The White House did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.

Major League Baseball is in serious danger of losing games, excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season, for the first time since the 1995 season was reduced to 144 games as the players' strike stretched into the following year. The 1994 postseason was even canceled, and the sport was hanging by a thread.

Now, baseball is seeing another boom, as rule changes implemented by Manfred have helped games move more quickly, bringing more fans into ballparks. Attendance could increase for a fourth consecutive year for the first time since 2004-07. It is not currently on pace to do so, but the summer is still young.

"The best way to lose momentum is to stand still," Manfred said.

Earlier this year, Trump held a college sports roundtable and signed an executive order focused on "saving college sports." Unlike the NHL, NBA and NFL, MLB has never had a salary cap.

Who is Darline Graham Nordone? Lindsey Graham's sister emerges as Trump's Senate pick

Tragedy built a strong bond between Darline Graham Nordone and her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Tragedy is once again striking its bell, this time with the sudden passing of her brother and father figure. And now, she’s being considered to replace him in the Senate, just over 24 hours after his death.

President Donald Trump and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., both want her in the role, and sources have told Fox News that Scott has been speaking with her about filling in for the remainder of Graham’s term.

TRUMP MAKES SURPRISE PICK TO FILL GRAHAM'S SENATE SEAT

Trump is pushing South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to appoint her, announcing that he recommended the governor tap Graham’s "wonderful sister" to serve out his term as a caretaker.

"This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly," Trump said on Truth Social.

McMaster is slated to announce his pick Monday afternoon in a news conference that Scott is also expected to attend.

If he does tap Nordone, it would be a temporary selection. In the background, private jockeying is already happening to succeed Graham as the GOP nominee in the Palmetto State.

The filing deadline to succeed Graham and run for a full six-year Senate term opens July 21 and a special election primary is scheduled for Aug. 11. Many South Carolina politicians have expressed interest in the job, seeing the vacant Senate seat as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to serve in the upper chamber.

Meanwhile, Nordone has never held public office, unlike her brother, who served in Congress for three decades in both the House and Senate. Nordone is a mother of two and worked in a vocational rehabilitation role that specifically helped people with disabilities find employment in South Carolina.

GRAHAM'S DEATH IGNITES GOP SCRAMBLE FOR SENATE SEAT AS TRUMP HINTS HE ALREADY HAS A FAVORITE

And whether she’s ready to accept the position remains unclear.

"Actually, I’m just kind of like devastated right now," Nordone told the New York Post shortly after Trump’s announcement.

Nordone and Graham shared a unique bond, too. Graham was in his early 20s when both their parents died within less than a year of one another. That tragedy pushed him to become her primary legal guardian and caretaker, thrusting him into the role of father and brother to his younger sister.

"Of all the things that have happened in my life, her turning out so well is the highlight of it by far," Graham told C-SPAN in 2015.

FROM 'DISGRACE' TO 'FAMILY': TRUMP'S REMARKABLE JOURNEY WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM

Nordone highlighted the outsized role Graham played in raising her after the death of their parents. After becoming her legal guardian, he enlisted in the Air Force to allow her to qualify for his military benefits. She later credited him with ensuring that she completed high school and college.

"He’s kind of like a brother, a father and a mother rolled into one," she told The New York Times in an interview in 2015.

Nordone was a frequent presence in Graham’s campaigns during his decades-long career.

"My parents, they were loving people and cared about us, but Lindsey was always the one that took care of me and helped me with my homework," she said in a campaign spot titled "Darline." "If I was sick, he gave me my medicine. He taught me how to ride a bicycle."

"He never let me down," she continued. "To take on that responsibility of raising a little sister — that came from within for Lindsey."
