The article, titled “Democrats and the ‘SHE’ Vote,” was published in May 2000 by Capitalism Magazine. The article assessed the power of “SHE” issues—which Elder identified as Social Security, health care and education—in recent election cycles. Focusing on issues that are important to women, who at the time accounted for more than half of the electorate, could be part of a winning campaign strategy, Elder argued. “Smart politics, therefore, dictates paying attention to ‘women’s issues,’” he wrote....

In a segment with “The Cook and Poni Show” on Monday, Cardinals linebacker Larry Foote discussed Lynch’s image and the message he’s sending to kids everywhere. MORE: Lynch not surprised by call | Seahawks primed for Super Bowl return “You hear in the media, he always mentions his foundation and what he likes to do for the city of Oakland,” Foote said. “I’m from the same type of urban environment that he’s from and the biggest message that he’s giving these kids, he might not want to admit it, is the hell with authority....

Therefore, either there’s something about cigarettes that made laryngeal cancer more prevalent after 1900 or more people were smoking tobacco after the mass-production of cigarettes. (Mass production makes things cheaper and more affordable for everyone.) Most likely, some combination of these two factors has increased the frequency of laryngeal cancer during the past 100 years. Overview Laryngeal cancer is cancer that affects the true vocal folds (vocal cords). The true vocal folds vibrate to produce sound and enable us to speak....

The franchise officially left Oakland in January and was due to move into its shiny new home in Sin City ahead of the 2020 NFL season. Work on the 65,000-capacity stadium remains on track—the roof should be completed within two weeks—leaving the Raiders enough time to host two preseason games, which will serve as a trial run for the new venue ahead of the team’s eight home games in the upcoming regular-season campaign....

His family recalls him as a rebellious kid, but when he neared 30 he joined the Army. He died in an ambush in Baghdad on Feb. 11, 2004. His proud parents shared their son’s parting words with the president, who autographed the last page with his thanks.

The homeless encampment, known as Mass and Cass, sat by the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard. Wu had pledged by Wednesday to obtain housing for people who had been living there.

The signature line summing up that Cubs-Tigers matchup was uttered before the first pitch was thrown. The Associated Press surveyed sportswriters around the country to get their picks to win the ‘45 Fall Classic, and Chicago scribe Warren Brown came up with a response that would resonate for decades: MORE: Baseball’s longest World Series droughts “I don’t think either of them can win.” Such was the state of Major League Baseball as it sputtered into a post-World War II era that would become known as the game’s golden age....

The San Diego Harbor Police Department told the local NBC affiliate that the boat was spotted off the coast of Point Loma around 2:50 a.m. The boat’s captain refused to listen to the Coast Guard’s demands and later got the boat stuck near Osprey Point around Sunset Cliffs, USCG Petty Officer Alex Gray told NBC.

In a video posted by @vetling.fosters on January 19, Tripod can be heard begging for a bite of his owner’s meal, grumbling and stomping on his front paw. “You don’t get spaghetti,” says vetting.fosters, who is sitting with her partner eating dinner in their living room. Despite his owners’ refusal, the giant dog soon comes bounding over, almost squishing his cat brother, Bruce, in the process. “Legend says he is still AWOOo-OOo-ing for spaghetti,” wrote vetting....

On The Ingraham Angle Thursday, the conservative host claimed without evidence that money from the two billionaires had a “huge effect” on the outcomes of local races this year.

In a video published on her official profile as representative for Colorado 3rd congressional district, Boebert said: “Y’all aren’t going to believe this. With 40-year record-high inflation and millions crossing our southern border, what is the House of Representative working on? “Well, yesterday, Democrats voted to name a room in the Capitol complex after Nancy Pelosi. I can’t think of anything less important, or frankly anyone less deserving.” Naming rooms in the Capitol complex after House representatives is considered an honor rarely bestowed....

The COVID-19 pandemic has cheated us out of all the good times we live for—the weddings, the vacations, the graduations and celebrations. Our work lives have been upended and our livelihoods threatened. There are people we love who we haven’t seen in months and some we’ll never see again; millions of us are mourning someone close who’s been taken by this awful disease. These overwhelming losses have had a devastating effect on our mental health, with rates of depression, anxiety and even suicidality surging around the world....

Sporting icon Federer announced last week that the showpiece in London — which is an ATP event envisaged as a tennis version of the Ryder Cup in golf — will be his last competitive tournament. Federer has been ranked no lower than third on his previous three appearances at the Laver Cup, but the injury-imposed inactivity that has hastened the end of the 41-year-old’s career means he did not have a ranking as he joined the likes of world number two Casper Ruud and number three Rafael Nadal in Team Europe....

It takes a very great leader to extract sacrifice from the voters who elected him (or her). Almost always, there is some precipitating event, some calamity, that enables a call to arms. War presidents have seized on provocations (Fort Sumter or Pearl Harbor) or hyped or made up one (the sinking of the Maine, the attacks on American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin). During the early days of the cold war, Harry Truman managed to persuade Congress to pay for the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe by exaggerating the Soviet threat to invade the West....

Of his 1,768 NHL games, Marleau played 1,596 with the Sharks, eight with the Penguins and 164 with the Maple Leafs. And, as anyone around the game knows, he left his mark in Toronto, taking young stars Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner under his wing. So as accolades and congratulatory messages poured in across social media for the 41-year-old veteran, the duo sent Marleau their love too. The Sharks posted the video from the pair — which also came with a surprise cameo from Marleau’s ex-teammate of 12 years (and 75 days his senior), Joe Thornton....
