Apple has released the official trailer for ”Born to be Wild,” a new six-part wildlife documentary series narrated by SAG Award winner Hugh Bonneville. The series will premiere worldwide on Friday, December 19, on the newly renamed Apple TVservice.

Filmed over several years in five countries, the series follows six endangered young animals as they are raised by conservation teams and prepared for life in the wild.

One does not simply spend more than 11 hours watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy in a single weekend at home when the opportunity to do so in theaters arises.

Donald Trump is angry that Rep. Henry Cuellar is running again as a Democrat rather than switch parties after the president pardoned the Texas congressman and his wife in a federal bribery and conspiracy case.

Trump blasted Cuellar for “Such a lack of LOYALTY,” suggesting the Republican president might have expected the clemency to bolster the GOP’s narrow House majority heading into the 2026 midterm elections.

Cuellar, in a television interview Sunday after Trump’s social media post, said he was a conservative Democrat willing to work with the administration “to see where we can find common ground.” The congressman said he had prayed for the president and the presidency at church that morning “because if the president succeeds, the country succeeds.”
