MAGA Boxer Ryan Garcia Punches Back At Donald Trump: ‘I Can't Stay Silent…'
MAGA boxer Ryan Garcia has turned on Donald Trump and slammed the president over his administration's aggressive immigration raids in Los Angeles. Garcia has previously praised Trump as 'the best president' and shadowboxed for him during a visit to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. He even once wrote on social media, 'Love you Trump,' and fiercely defended him in other posts. But on Thursday, Garcia ripped Trump in response to his controversial immigration crackdown that has sparked protests in L.A. and to which Trump has deployed the National Guard, a move that has been slammed as a major, unneeded and divisive escalation by critics. 'I may have voted for Trump, but I can't stay silent about what's happening with ICE in L.A.,' Garcia wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'These aren't just 'illegals' or statistics they're people,' pointed out the Victorville-born and raised pugilist, whose grandparents were born in Mexico and who often enters the ring with both the American and Mexican flags. 'Hardworking immigrants, especially Mexicans, who pay taxes, raise families, build our communities, and are part of the people we love,' Garcia continued. 'Ripping them away from their homes is not just policy it's pain. We can have borders without losing our humanity.' Garcia was last year expelled by the World Boxing Council for using racial slurs during a livestream. He's also come under fire for anti-LGBTQ remarks.

Malaysian-born actress Pik-Sen Lim, known for roles in ‘Mind Your Language', ‘Doctor Who' and ‘Johnny English Reborn', dies at 80
KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — Malaysian-born British actress Pik-Sen Lim, best known for her role in the sitcom Mind Your Language, has died on Monday at the age of 80. Lim gained international recognition and became a familiar face on British and Malaysian television for her role as Chung Su-Lee in Mind Your Language, a popular British comedy that aired in the late 1970s. Born in Penang in 1944, Lim's birth name was romanised as Lim Phaik-Seng, but she later changed her given name to Pik-Sen after noticing that her British friends frequently mispronounced 'Phaik' as 'fake.' She starred in Doctor Who, playing Chin Lee in The Mind of Evil (1971), and appeared in British series such as military drama Spearhead, Coronation Street, Casualty, Holby City and The Bill. Her film credits include Johnny English Reborn (2011), in which she played the Killer Cleaner. More recently, she was the narrator in the Dark Souls video game series and appeared in American TV series The Nevers (2023) and Vampire Academy (2022). The British Film Institute described Lim as "the most recognisable Chinese actor on British television throughout the 1970s and 80s." She was fondly remembered by fellow actor Daniel Y Loh in a heartfelt tribute on Facebook. 'I acted on stage in two plays with her as well as numerous readings, workshops, audio etc as well,' Loh wrote. 'A joyous person, full of love and laughter and mischief, she was so much fun to be around and her gift for comedy was such that you always felt safe in front of an audience with her, that absolutely unique voice and vivacious energy carrying us all with her.' Loh recalled their time working together on several productions, including Citizens of Nowhere?, which they performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival the summer before the Covid-19 pandemic. They also shared the stage in a production of Romeo & Juliet, where he played Mercutio opposite Lim's Nurse. 'We've shared the same agent for the last 25 odd years and she'll be hugely missed there as well,' he wrote.

Music Review: Dierks Bentley's 'Broken Branches' offers safe, familiar, cold beer country
Nashville hitmaker Dierks Bentley has delivered 'Broken Branches,' his eleventh studio album that leans into some well-tread country rock territory, the kind that invariably involves broken hearts, trucks and a cold beer. Look, Bentley knows what he's doing. The album is 11-tracks of catchy, country rock radio filler and there's not much mystery to its musical roadmap. But therein lies his calling card: Dependable songs with few rough edges. Thematically, many of the tracks on the superstar's latest effort hint at internal struggles, but allow Bentley and the listener to escape them unscathed. 'Jesus Loves Me' is an admirable acoustic slow burn about finding religion but losing a woman. 'Thought maybe if I hit my knees / She'd think about hitting the brakes,' Bentley sings. There is slight salvation for the Phoenix-born singer: 'Yeah, Jesus loves me / But she don't.' On the title track, the jukebox stomp 'Broken Branches,' Bentley gets a nice assist from fellow country hitmakers John Anderson and Riley Green. Ostensibly it's an energetic drinking song about family lines, but lyrics like 'We shoulda gone to college / Coulda gained a little knowledge,' which pull from a popular childhood rhyme, feel like they're underperforming. What Bentley does extremely well is execute what his — and the modern genre's — biggest fans might expect. Tales of a tough exterior with a warm, if fragile, heart underneath. But his familiar is derivative. Palatable country is how you get on the radio and stay on it. Songs about beer and trucks are Spotify deliverables. If you like your country artists with a longer rap sheet, you'll need to look further than 'Broken Branches.' Even the few attempts at invention don't totally land, like the rowdy, rocking 'She Hates Me,' which includes a surprising interpolation of post-grunge band Puddle of Mudd's 2001 hit 'She (Expletive) Hates Me.' If there's a pleasant find here, it's Stephen Wilson Jr. duetting with Bentley on the opening track, 'Cold Beer Can.' It's the most memorable song on the album — with its plucky instrumentation and ascendant chorus, which showcase Wilson Jr.'s rich voice and guitar talents.
