And the stakes are high for the Tune Squad and LeBron James. For James, he has to win a battle against the elite, intergalactic Goon Squad organized by Al-G Rhythm, an evil computer algorithm played by Don Cheadle. If James loses, he won’t be able to save his son, who was kidnapped in order to set up this matchup. MORE: LeBron James to switch jersey numbers after “Space Jam”...
The survey from the University of California, Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found that 60 percent of likely voters oppose recalling the Democrat, compared with 38 percent who are in favor of removing him. The poll, which was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and conducted between August 30 and September 6, comes just four days before Californians weigh in on the matter. All registered voters are eligible to participate in the special election, which will take place September 14....
The video, which was shared exclusively with Morning Consult, begins by showing a St. Louis couple that pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in late June. The video then goes on to connect the couple with Rittenhouse, who is accused of firing multiple shots at protesters during an August 25 rally in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Two people were killed and another seriously injured in the demonstration shooting....
Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, is also facing calls to be censured after a video was shared to Twitter of her relating a story about Omar and a Capitol police officer that concluded with a joke about a bomb in a backpack. Omar, a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 5th district, responded to the video on Twitter and said “this whole story is made up.” She added that it was sad that Boebert “thinks bigotry gets her clout....
Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, told conservative commentator Glenn Beck on Tuesday that she had legislation to remove the president and vice president. She also said on Tuesday that she supported the removal of Pelosi as speaker and possibly the impeachment of Secretary of State Antony Blinken as well following the U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan. Boebert told Beck: “When you start thinking about impeachment and discussing that, you start going down the list....
As a result of lowering water levels due to drought, authorities have discovered four sets of human remains since May—the fourth just last week—in Lake Mead, the country’s largest reservoir. Investigations are ongoing for all four sets of remains, but for the Parke Injury Law Firm, the discoveries led to the creation of a billboard that has caught plenty of attention in the Las Vegas valley. A photo of the billboard was posted on Twitter by KLAS, also known as 8 News Now....
The 11-month moratorium was originally introduced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when the COVID-19 pandemic first swept the country—and later extended—expired on Saturday night. President Joe Biden failed in a last ditch effort to extend the moratorium on Thursday. The House of Representatives then adjourned for its seven-week summer vacation on Friday, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling reporters there was “not enough time” to take action....
Less than one week after South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson issued a letter to congressional leaders requesting a hearing to address China’s role in the new coronavirus pandemic, which referenced “suspicious gifts of drones to state, local and federal authorities” from Shenzhen-based technology company Da Jiang Innovations (DJI), members of the U.S. House of Representatives called for similar actions in two separate letters released on Wednesday. The more recent letters, backed by 14 GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee, requested information from the U....
ABORTION: Ashcroft’s opposition to abortion is out-spoken and unyielding–he would outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest, and he would allow it only when medically necessary to save the life of the mother. This has drawn fire from liberals, abortion-rights groups and women’s rights groups, and it poses one particularly hot question. As attorney general, Ashcroft would be responsible for enforcing laws protecting abortion clinics against harassment by right-to-life groups....
Just a few months after signing his $13.125 million-per-year deal with the Jets, Bell already has called into question his level of commitment by skipping several weeks of the offseason program, including a minicamp. Granted, Bell has not missed New York’s mandatory minicamp, set for June 4-6, or the Jets’ OTA sessions that begin in two weeks. And he surely will be at training camp to avoid major fines....
The Steelers running back made fans nervous Saturday with his newly released single, “Focus.” In it, he drops this line: “I’m at the top and if not I’m the closest, Ima need 15 a year and they know this.” His rookie contract has him making, on average, little more than $1 million a year. MORE: Teams in do-or-die mode When asked by a fan if he intended to leave Pittsburgh — his only team since joining the NFL in 2013 — Bell said he would “never” leave the Steelers....
From a promising start to a torrid second half, the only difference here was that the type of goals the Gunners conceded this time round weren’t from set pieces. Instead, moments of individual class from Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling punished the north London side who turned in a typical Jekyll and Hyde performance at the Etihad Stadium. Sterling & Sane are Man City’s future Wenger went into the Premier League clash against Manchester City not knowing what to expect from either team, saying as much in his pre-match interview with Sky Sports....
This year brings another war story. If it had a title, it might be something like “It Takes a Religious Institution to Raise a Child.” (In contrast to that quaint Clintonian conceit, “It Takes a Village.”) Like any war story, it’s about conflict, albeit closer to home, and it begins with a statistic: the Bluestone youth attrition rate. Despite the mythic benefits of small-town life for children, 15 of the 20 school-age kids in our community up and disappeared last year....
This topical gel comes in four different strengths: 0.1%, 0.08%, 0.06% and 0.04%. Your dermatologist will help you get the strength you need. It is a prescription medication, so you’ll need to see a dermatologist. There is no over-the-counter version of this treatment. How Retin-A Micro Works Retin-A Micro works to clear acne by reducing buildup of keratin, dirt and oil in skin pores (AKA comedones). It also speeds up cell turnover rates....
Yet not a single Serb came through those doors to register a child, even though the shabby apartment blocks that surround Our Happiness were full of Serbs and their children before the summer. “Some went on their own, and some we forced out,” bragged a 7-year-old Albanian girl. Then 9-year-old Laurant, a serious-faced redhead, pulled a gunmetal-gray automatic pistol out from under his T shirt; it was only a toy, but it looked large and frighteningly real in his hand....
As the country entered its 20th month of an economic and financial crisis, many goods, from gasoline, medicine and electricity, are experiencing drastic shortages. “My life was already difficult,” said Ibrahim Arab, a taxi driver who waited for hours in the hot summer to get gas for his car. “And now the gasoline crisis only made things worse.” Arab works a second job at a Beirut grocery store, though his monthly income has lost 95 percent of its purchasing power....
Now we know: three years, $100 million. He will be the highest-paid player in the NBA for the first time in his career next season, then potentially have the largest contract in NBA history in 2017-18 at $33 million. He has an option for the final year, meaning he likely will hit free agency next in 2018 at age 33. MORE: Could LeBron see a dip in production next season?...
For clarity, Curry was not “hesitating.” He said, verbatim, “I don’t want to go." MORE: NFL players react to Donald Trump’s comments Following Trump’s tweet, several people in the sports world reacted, but perhaps the most noticeable voice was from LeBron James who called Trump a “bum” in a Twitter response. James issued a more in-depth response in a video later in the day. “It’s not about dividing,” James said....
