On Friday, the Fox News host praised Trump for numerous accomplishments in the last couple of days. “It’s not even close. This was the best week of Donald Trump’s presidency on every front,” she said. “He’s winning on the economy, national security, judicial appointments, and even legislatively. His policies and strategies are working, and the American people are reaping huge benefits.” Ingraham also praised Trump for the firings of Lieutenant Col....

The conservative firebrand had been widely expected to dominate in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. FiveThirtyEight’s final forecast predicted that Boebert had a 97-in-100 chance of winning going into Election Day, but her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch proved to be a tough challenger, climbing slightly ahead of her at the beginning of the vote count. In the end, Frisch called Boebert to concede the race on Friday afternoon, despite the fact that the contest was likely headed to a recount under Colorado law....

Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is one of Trump’s closest Congressional allies, is on track to defeat her Democratic challenger Adam Frisch by less than 1 point despite her district’s reliable Republican lead. The midterms saw several Trump-aligned candidates like Boebert underperform expectations even as the GOP retook a slim House majority. In the aftermath of the underwhelming midterms, some Republicans turned on Trump and declined to endorse his presidential bid....

“We’re talking in the congressional ladies’ bathroom…people are upset about what’s going on in the speaker’s race. It had been a couple of days, we were not electing Kevin McCarthy,” she said during an interview on The Dana Show radio program that was posted on Twitter on Wednesday. “We hadn’t received the concessions that we wanted and my colleague from Georgia, the gentlewoman from Georgia, came up and started being kind of nasty about it, and no one else had been nasty about it....

Boebert, a member of the Republican Party who has a reputation for her outspoken and sometimes controversial beliefs, has been a diligent advocate for gun rights amid the ongoing battle for gun control. She even owns her own restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, where the staff is encouraged to carry firearms. On Friday, Boebert tweeted about the importance of preserving the Constitution, writing, “The Senate has a compromise on gun control....

On Friday, Frisch called Boebert to concede the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District even though the contest had not been called and was likely headed to a recount. Colorado law triggers automatic recounts for any races when the top two candidates come within a 0.5 percent margin. Boebert was leading with just 551 votes, or 0.16 percent, over Frisch, a former Aspen city councilman and conservative Democrat who has accused Boebert of forcing her constituents to take a backseat to her political ambitions as a rising MAGA star....

Many have said, and keep saying, LaVar Ball has to stop whatever he’s doing. They can’t stand it anymore. Here’s an opposing view: LaVar should keep doing it. MORE: No refunds on Lonzo Ball shoes How can you not want to see where this goes, how it plays out, how the story ends? Maybe somewhere along the way we’ll find out why we all kept running to him, giving him attention, giving him a platform, while screaming, “Shut up and go away and stop making us watch and listen to you!...

After Politico reported Sunday evening that Trump plans to award Belichick with the medal on Thursday, Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern called for the coach to reject it. “I would refuse it, if I were Bill Belichick,” McGovern said during an interview with CNN on Monday morning. “This president has made a mockery of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Look at who he has given it to in the last weeks, people like Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan....

The worker, u/Citizenbeck, shared her story to the r/antiwork subreddit, earning 15,700 upvotes and 500 comments in six hours for her post, “My career was going great until I got engaged…” She said she worked at the law firm for five years before she told the owner that she’d gotten engaged to her boyfriend. Though things were “going great” up to that point, things changed on a dime following this disclosure....

This also was the first time in his five-year NFL career he advanced from the kickoff of the opening game to the final whistle of the team’s playoff elimination without being forced to miss a game. Bell played all 15 games that mattered in 2017, plus Pittsburgh’s playoff loss to Jacksonville. By contrast, he missed three games a year earlier because of suspension, 10 in 2015 because of suspension and injury, and the team’s only playoff game in 2014 because he was struck in the knee and injured in a division-clinching, regular-season finale against Cincinnati....

Nibali collected his third Tour stage win on Friday by beating two other breakaway riders at the end of the grueling 122-mile trek from Saint-Etienne to Chamrousse ski station. MORE: Tour de France images The first of two days in the Alps lived up to its billing as the daunting final ascent of 12 miles with a 7.3 percent gradient shook up the overall standings. The main casualty was Australia’s Richie Porte....

She is also a heartwarmer. There are still more than 1 million copies in print of her most recent book “A Short Guide to a Happy Life,” the text of the commencement address she never got to deliver to the Villanova University class of 1999 (Roman Catholic groups threatened to demonstrate against the pro-choice speaker). In “Blessings,” as well, Quindlen quickly gets down to the business of inspiration. The book opens with a storklike delivery of a baby....

The trend sees people filming themselves going into buildings owned by the Church of Scientology as a joke, but Remini, who used to be a Scientologist, has asked people not to do it for “views and likes.” The controversial religion, founded by American author L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s, has had multiple serious accusations directed at it by former members. Scientology is known for its celebrity adherents who include Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Elisabeth Moss and Giovani Ribisi....

Answer by Kai Lam, Junior Olympic Medalist Consider the difference between holding a knife (shakehand) and a pencil (penhold):Knife: Your palm is wrapped around the base and the object is aligned between your thumb and index finger. Your power is derived from this stable grip (ironically, it is not shaky) and you can cut consistently straight angles. But it would be tough to draw a detailed portrait with a knife gripped like this....

England winger Sterling has proved a key figure in a triumphant campaign for City, with Guardiola’s men picking up the Premier League title and EFL Cup. A rampaging performance in a 4-1 win at West Ham last weekend returned three assists, taking Sterling’s overall Premier League tally this season to 11 alongside 18 goals. The 23-year-old was also bafflingly denied a clear penalty when he was brought down by West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell during the second half and, as his team-mates celebrated at full-time, he remonstrated with referee Neil Swarbrick....

What Is HDL Cholesterol? The high-density lipoproteins (HDL) transport excess cholesterol from the walls of arteries to the liver. Because cholesterol deposits are a major feature of atherosclerosis, removing cholesterol from the arteries is thought to be an important component to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In the liver, the excess cholesterol from HDL particles is metabolized; much of it is converted to bile, which is then excreted by the body or used for digestion....

Part of the problem is that war correspondents aren’t what they used to be. Gone are the Walter Cronkites, Ernie Pyles and Ward Justs, “upfront” reporters who landed with the first wave at Anzio, flew in bombing raids over Berlin and tagged along with patrols in Vietnam. Today’s war story comes from another breed. His or her base is more often a five-star hotel than a foxhole. Few have served as soldiers....

Bed accessories: Lap desks, book lights or those “husband” pillows with arms. These things encourage reading in bed. Which just encourages sleeping. ‘Starry Night’: Or any equally pedestrian poster. We promise there will be at least three hanging on any freshman wall. NFL blowup chairs: You’re going to school, not a sports bar. One-cup coffeemakers: What are the chances that you’ll keep milk in your mini-fridge? OK, milk that didn’t expire three months ago?...

News of the blast in the Nabatiyeh province town of Ain Qana first began circulating throughout WhatsApp groups, where citizens speculated on potential sources from a gas station mishap to an attack on a party headquarters of the Shiite Muslim Hezbollah movement. Videos showed a massive column of smoke rising from the general area of Ain Qana and Kfar Fila. A Hezbollah spokesperson told Newsweek that the explosion was not the result of an Israeli strike, but extracted mines that had been planted in the ground during the group’s 2006 war with Israel....
