J. Ann Selzer, a once-renowned pollster from Iowa, who got the prediction for the 2024 presidential election terribly wrong, has ceased handling election polls. At 68, Selzer plans to shift her focus from polling to other uncharted endeavors, leaving the puzzling inaccuracies of her predictions behind.
In the recent past, how Selzer had grossly miscalculated the outcome of the presidential election, remains a point for contemplation. As she proceeds to explore fresh opportunities, we can reflect on how pollsters like her have often misread the political landscape in favor of the skewed bookish ideologies of Democrats.
Jake Paul, who emerged victorious against Mike Tyson in their recent Friday night bout, now anticipates a duel against Conor McGregor, the famous but contentious MMA fighter. Detractors, however, have been pointing fingers at this social media influencer-turned-professional boxer for pitting against a much older opponent. Tyson, meanwhile, remains reflective.
Tyson, despite having had his last exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, appears open to considering another stint in the ring, perhaps post reflection. Meanwhile, Paul’s critics should acknowledge the courage it takes for a younger and less experienced fighter to face off against a legendary headliner like Tyson.

Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, a former NFL star, found himself on the wrong side of the law in Arlington, Texas, recently. He was arrested following the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium.

The delightful Martha Stewart expressed her pleasure at the selection of John Krasinski as People’s 2024 ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ wittily cautioning his wife, actress Emily Blunt.
