In “Single Lady,” her fourth, self-directed hour, all guardrails are off. But with “Single Lady,” Wong wants to do more than simply recount her exploits to an ecstatic crowd at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater. One of the best bits of “Single Lady” sees her express naked condescension towards insecure male comedians and the younger women they make her babysit at various dinner parties. Wong’s fans already know the title of “Single Lady” is something of a misnomer. “Single Lady” is far from a how-to guide, but it’s a riveting testimonial.

A Michigan teenager charged in the stabbing death of a gay Detroit man will be tried as an adult, in part because of the “heinous nature of the crime,” authorities said Tuesday. Al-Alikhan targeted Brisendine because he was a gay, police alleged Tuesday in a statement on social media. Police in nearby Dearborn arrested Al-Alikhan and turned him over to Detroit authorities on Oct. 1, Detroit police said in a statement. Asked why he thought his brother was killed, Harvey Brisendine didn’t hesitate to say he thinks it was a hate crime. “We don’t want to take advantage of the gofundme generosity but primarily want people to know that Howard was a victim of a brutal murder hate crime for being gay.”

Somebody said, ‘You should be nice sir, women won’t like it,’” Trump said, adding: “The women want safety.”He then described an apocalyptic America if he loses. While the economy was the ostensible theme of the rally, Trump went on an array of tangents. He went on a riff about billionaire ally Elon Musk’s “doing jumping jacks” at a recent rally with him in Butler, Pennsylvania. Ahead of Trump’s speech, Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement that Trump was “projecting weakness, not strength,” by sticking to safe environments. Debbie Hendrix, a Scranton native who attended Trump’s rally wearing a “MAGA” hat, said she’s cautiously optimistic but unsure Trump will win the state.

For financial institutions, short positions can be lucrative. The fund shorted about four dozen companies from Pennsylvania during McCormick’s tenure, the records show. The fund did invest in stocks of some of the same Pennsylvania companies it shorted in other years, and overall, it reported spending more money buying stocks of Pennsylvania companies than shorting them in four of the five annual reports reviewed by CNN.

Garth Brooks, the country superstar, has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape and sexual assault in a bombshell lawsuit last week. In a court filing in Mississippi on Tuesday, lawyers for Mr. Brooks portrayed the star as “the victim of a shakedown” and said the woman’s lawyers had “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case. Litigation over the woman’s accusations began last month with a lawsuit that was filed anonymously — as John Doe v. Jane Roe — in federal court in Mississippi. In a response, lawyers for the woman said they intended to sue the man in California, saying that “Ms. Roe respectfully requests that she may commence her California action as she intended to do, and use Mr. Doe’s name, absent objection from this Honorable Court.”
