Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

- The success of the Road House remake indicates that Conor McGregor should be considered for a $7 billion action franchise. Despite initial doubts from viewers and critics, the remake of Road House is receiving positive feedback, demonstrating that remakes of cult classics can sometimes be highly successful. In addition to being recognized for certain changes in the story from the original, the film is also praised for its well-executed action sequences.
- Throughout his UFC career, Conor McGregor has amassed a substantial fortune. While his character Knox in Road House is portrayed as somewhat one-dimensional, McGregor brings sufficient intensity and energy to the role, positioning him as a formidable antagonist against Gyllenhaal's nearly invincible Dalton.
- Having proven his ability to portray convincing movie villains, the question arises whether Conor McGregor would fit well into the Fast & Furious franchise. If McGregor were to be cast in Fast & Furious 11, audiences could potentially witness an exciting confrontation between former UFC and WWE stars, offering a thrilling prospect.
- Conor McGregor would not be the initial UFC fighter to feature in the Fast & Furious franchise. Preceding him, UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey appeared in Furious 7 as a bodyguard. With numerous former MMA fighters appearing in the Fast & Furious movies, McGregor's potential involvement post Road House could continue the trend and provide Fast & Furious 11 with a much-needed unique yet captivating villain.
