After the White House confirmed that Trump had left President Joe Biden a message, the political action committee of Republicans joined in light-hearted social media speculation over what the outgoing president might have said with paper rather than pixels. Following Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, the Lincoln Project tweeted: “Trump’s note to President Biden just leaked.” It shared an image of a message written in purple marker pen that reads: “Will you pardon me?...

The resolution brought by the South Carolina Republican is co-signed at the time of writing by 46 of his party colleagues in the Senate. It accuses House Democrats of a lack of due process and transparency in their impeachment inquiry. Among the resolution’s complaints are that the House has not voted to open the impeachment inquiry, that witnesses so far have given closed-door testimonies, and that Trump is being denied his rights to defend himself against the allegations emerging from the process....

We could talk about the fact that the U.S. leads after Day 1 of the Presidents Cup, 3 1/2 to 2 1/2, but there's a far more important matter: Davis Love III's squirrel, Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods. As SB Nation tells it, Davis Love III "adopted" said squirrel at the Presidents Cup. Jimmy Roberts reported the squirrel had fallen out of a tree. Then, somewhere along the way, he handed it to Lindsey Vonn, who placed it on the No....

Many books, not including the Westgate, don’t even have enough board space to show all the odds, with college football, the NFL, NBA and NHL all in full swing. For the past few months, savvier bettors have been scouring the internet for information applicable to their personal ratings. Some get a great overview from the fine work put in by the folks that produce the Blue Ribbon college basketball yearbook, while the majority simply bet games on the fly....

The actor, who is known for their role as a teenage babysitter in 2011 rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love, shared an image on Instagram of a robot in the colors of the non-binary flag. “Hi. My name is Lio. My pronouns are they/them,” they wrote. “I am proud to announce I am queer and I identify as non binary.” The America’s Next Top Model star then went on to add that they hope to support the wider Pride community....

The 5-9, 203-pound running back, who underwent shoulder surgery in January, uses his speed and shiftiness to blow by defenses to pick up yards in bunches. What he isn’t known for is his physicality around the line of scrimmage. But he believes that can change this season.

During the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between the Lions and Packers, Detroit return man Jamal Agnew found an opening down the sideline and had the end zone in his sights. Unfortunately for Agnew, Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby pursued him at a good enough angle to force him out of bounds just shy of the 30-yard line.

Pessimism is certainly understood, if not warranted, right now. The Lions are 7-2 and coming off a late-game comeback against the Dolphins and the return of receiver Calvin Johnson. They haven’t had a start like this since 1993, but there is a lot of football yet to be played. They travel to Arizona, which lost starting quarterback Carson Palmer to a torn ACL Sunday, but still holds the league’s best record....

Yet Scalia is taking it to the streets this month to promote his new book, “Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges,” coauthored with professional wordsmith Bryan Garner. “Making Your Case” is a how-to manual for attorneys, as Scalia emphasized in an MSNBC interview last week with Tim Russert. It’s not a book about legal philosophy. But Scalia used that sit-down—and several other unprecedented interviews this month—to pitch his constitutional theories....

Take China’s exchange rate, for example. The renminbi–fixed at 8.3 per U.S. dollar since 1994–is an important pillar of the Chinese economy, underpinning that country’s spectacular export growth. China just surpassed Japan and is now the world’s third largest exporter after the United States and Germany. Lately, however, many Americans have begun to complain that the renminbi is too cheap. Millions of Chinese and others are bringing back their U....

To be fair, children’s literature has grown Lip a lot since Sandburg’s time. Books now address issues (racism, the environment’) unheard of just a few years ago. A lot of the efforts are ham-handed, but quite a few are extraordinarily sophisticated. If you want a point of comparison, check out More Rootabagas (Knopf. $18). a collection of posthumously published Sandburg tales which today read like case studies in willed whimsy....

The singer appears to angrily a member of the audience using their cell phones to record the gig “f****** f******,” in bleeped footage published by TMZ.
