If Donald Trump makes a triumphant return to the White House, there's one crucial voting group that might just have his name all over it: men. This isn't just speculation; it's at the heart of the Trump campaign's strategy for the upcoming election.

Netflix is diving deep into the Halloween spirit this week, offering a lineup packed with spine-tingling features that are perfect for those who revel in the chills of the season.

When C.S. Lewis penned his thoughts back in 1959 regarding the potential film adaptations of his beloved Chronicles of Narnia, he struck a chord that resonates even today. He expressed a firm stance against the idea of a television adaptation, stating, “I am absolutely opposed – adamant isn’t in it! – to a TV version.” Lewis had serious concerns about the portrayal of his anthropomorphic characters, believing that when they transitioned from the pages of a book to actual visibility, they risked becoming caricatures—“buffoonery or nightmare” was how he put it. His vision for Aslan, the noble lion and spiritual guide of Narnia, was so sacred that he deemed a human portrayal in a pantomime setting as “blasphemy.” Imagine how Lewis would have reacted to the 1967 ITV adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, where Bernard Kay's Aslan resembled a rather uninspired background character in a village hall production of Cats. Similarly, while the 1979 CBS animated version had the majestic voice of Stephen Thorne, visually, Aslan looked like he had wandered off the pages of a children’s comic strip.

St. Frances Academy football has become a true force on the national high school scene. Playing an independent schedule filled almost exclusively with nationally ranked opponents, they’re constantly tested but never back down.
