“Rush Hour” The TV Show

17 “Rush Hour” The TV Show Complex

The buddy cop genre is still flourishing, look no further than the recent success of the 21 Jump Street franchise and award-winning comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Naturally this calls for a TV show remake of Rush Hour. The show will follow the film’s premise, which starred Jackie Chan as the stern Detective Lee, forced to team up with Chris Tucker, the over-the-top LAPD officer Carter. The Rush Hour franchise, which began in 1998, went on to make $845 million internationally over the course of three films. We still can’t shake how terrible the third one was, so a TV show sounds like a bad idea. In the words of “War”, which “Lee” famously sings, “What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.”

California Mayor Shot and Killed

25 California Mayor Shot and Killed NBC News

A California mayor was shot and killed Tuesday during what authorities told NBC News was a domestic dispute involving his wife and son. Daniel Crespo Sr., 45, was shot "multiple" times in the upper torso about 2:30 p.m. local time (5:30 p.m. ET), the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. Crespo, who is mayor of the Los Angeles-area city of Bell Gardens, died a short time later at a hospital. His wife Lyvette Crespo, 43, was detained, questioned and later released without being charged. After interviewing Lyvette Crespo, Sheriff's homicide detectives "determined that no arrests will be made at this time," the department said in a statement late Tuesday. "The facts of the case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office who will determine if criminal charges will be filed." Deputies said the couple were arguing when their 19-year-old son, Daniel Jr., intervened. Lyvette Crespo then grabbed a firearm and shot her husband, according to investigators. Their son voluntarily surrendered to Bell Gardens police, sheriff's Lt. Steve Jauch told NBC News. The mayor's official biography says he and his wife had been high school sweethearts who moved to California from New York City. Daniel Crespo Sr. was a probation officer before he was elected to the Bell Gardens City Council in 2001. He became mayor last year. Speaking to NBC Southern California, the mayor's brother said he "couldn't believe" what had happened. "He loved (his family) more than life," William Crespo added. "He loved his wife a lot, he always loved his wife." State Senator Ricardo Lara and Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, both Democrats who represent Bell Gardens, released a joint statement late Tuesday in which they offered their condolences and called Crespo's death "a shocking and tremendous loss."

$1Billion Spent Bombing ISIS

26 $1Billion Spent Bombing ISIS Huffington Post

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. military operations targeting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria have already cost taxpayers between $780 and $930 million, according to an analysis by an independent think tank. The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments issued a new report Monday assessing how much the military campaign has already cost (through Sept. 24) and how much more will likely be spent in the coming months. CSBA estimates that if the current pace of operations continues, the United States could spend between $200 and $320 million a month, in a conservative estimate assuming a "moderate level of air operations and 2,000 deployed ground forces." The report uses the term "ground forces" to include any U.S. military personnel who are sent to Iraq, whether in a combat capacity or otherwise. In the report's conservative estimate, the number of ground forces includes a slight increase from the approximately 1,600 U.S. military personnel who are already in Iraq. President Barack Obama has insisted that he will not send U.S. combat troops to either Iraq or Syria. The United States in June began stepping up support for Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting the Islamic State -- also known as ISIS -- in Iraq. It has been striking targeted sites in Iraq since early August and began bombing locations in Syria on Sept. 23. The costs of the military campaign could, of course, increase if the operation escalates. The report estimates potential costs for an expanded air campaign as well as for a much more significant deployment of ground troops. "If air operations are conducted at a higher pace and 5,000 ground forces are deployed, the costs would be between $350 and $570 million per month," write the report's authors. Regarding the third and most extensive option, which the authors term "Boots on the Ground," the report predicts: "If operations expand significantly to include the deployment of 25,000 U.S. troops on the ground, as some have recommended, costs would likely reach $1.1 to $1.8 billion per month." "On an annualized basis, the lower-intensity air operations could cost $2.4 to $3.8 billion per year, the higher-intensity air operations could cost $4.2 to $6.8 billion per year, and deployment of a larger ground contingent could drive annual costs as high as $13 to $22 billion," they conclude. Gordon Adams, a professor of U.S. foreign policy at American University and former Office of Management and Budget official, recently conducted a separate analysis and estimated that the fight against the Islamic State will cost more than $1 billion per month, or between $15 and $20 billion per year. Last week, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said his "best estimate" for the operations' current cost is "between $7 million and $10 million per day," or about $210 million to $300 million per month. That figure is far lower than Adams' estimate and on the low end of CSBA's projections. Despite the high cost of the operation, Congress left for its recess without actually voting on whether Obama has the authority to carry out the military campaign. The Obama administration has insisted the president has this authority under two separate Authorizations for Use of Military Force. The first authorization, from 2001, gave the president the authority to "use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001." The 2002 AUMF, which authorized the war in Iraq, addressed the threat allegedly posed by Saddam Hussein. Critics have said that these authorizations are outdated and are not sufficient to justify the current airstrikes. (Obama himself has called for the repeal of the 2001 AUMF.) Several lawmakers have been pushing for a separate authorization for the latest airstrikes and have criticized their colleagues for leaving town. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), however, has said he would prefer to wait until next year for a war debate rather than conduct it in the lame-duck session of Congress that will follow the November elections. “Doing this with a whole group of members who are on their way out the door, I don’t think that is the right way to handle this,” he recently told The New York Times.
