The prospect is even more noteworthy because this friend is one of the strongest conservative voices I know—Larry Elder, who is not only a friend but a talk-show host colleague for the Salem Media Group. Let that serve as a disclaimer for my following observations about his chances in the September 14 recall vote concerning Gov. Gavin Newsom. I’ve had friends I thought would do well in political races, and others I knew would fail, and I’ve not only told readers and listeners—I’ve told the candidates....

The reigning Federation Cup winners dragged the Flying Antelopes into a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw in regulation time at the National Stadium, Abuja. Rangers dominated the game as new recruits Daniel Etor and Godwin Aguda produced stunning moments but the Nnewi based side were unmoved. Things got worse for the Anambra Warriors as defender Kojo Bah was sent off after a second caution after a reckless challenge....

“Don’t ask, don’t tell” made a lot of sense to these relatives because it sounded like an easy solution. For them, it was. If I didn’t say anything to my grandmother, they wouldn’t have to deal with her upset over the truth about her grandson. But for me, “not telling” was an exhausting nightmare, because it meant withholding everything that could possibly give me away and living in fear of being found out....

The meteor flew over Krasnoyarsk—a city of more than one million people located in the south-central portion of the vast Russian region—and was captured on CCTV and dash cam footage that has been posted to social media. The fireball was seen around 8 p.m. local time, geographer and amateur meteorologist Kirill Bakanov reported on Twitter. Videos show a very bright light momentarily streaking across the sky before fizzling out in what appears to be a small explosion occurring some distance above the ground....

But the White House considers it a “total and complete non-starter,” Republicans can’t decide how much—if any—should be eliminated and Democrats want the protection eradicated entirely. Contentious, no doubt. The topic could impede lawmakers’ sprint to overhaul the country’s law enforcement agencies before leaving town for a two-week Fourth of July recess. Dueling police reform packages by Republicans and Democrats are at complete odds with one another when it comes to the protections for police officers from being the subject of civil lawsuits over alleged brutality and misconduct....

“That’s when she was mentoring me and encouraging me to run, and when [Texas Governor] Ann Richards ran for… re-election? Must have been re-election. I think it might have been 1994,” Jackson Lee recalls. “I was like a little pipsqueak that came to look up to her and to just be in her office, to just be in the space that she was in.” In 1972, Barbara Jordan became the first African American from Texas to be elected to Congress....

If you’ve gone to the ER when somewhere else might have been a better choice, you’re not alone. Since the ER might not be exactly what you thought it was. Here are a few things everybody should know about the ER: The ER is for Emergencies Despite the fact that everyone in the ER waiting room seems to have the sniffles and a cough, the ER is really supposed to be for emergencies, hence the name....

Citing a person close to the transition, the NPR report said the view among many in Biden-world is that immigration activists have become too “adversarial,” with policy demands that make Biden’s team “uncomfortable.” The leak, while anonymous, frustrated some activists who fought Obama on immigration, only to be systematically targeted and marginalized by the Trump administration’s hardline policies and rhetoric. “It’s just a pitiful thing to say,” Erika Andiola, a constant critic of the Obama administration, told Newsweek....

The criteria? We were looking for companies making noteworthy contributions across different industries and different categories of giving. We also put the spotlight on firms and people who were targeting a specific need. For example: Starbucks founder Howard Schultz provided money to unemployed restaurant workers and also made sure often-overlooked undocumented food service employees got help as well. And of course we featured some companies that reached out and assisted front line medical workers....

A liberation of Kherson—the only provincial capital seized by Russian troops since the invasion began in February—will be a major blow to the Kremlin, which has failed for months to seize back momentum. But the strategic importance of the city raises the prospect that Russian troops will not leave quietly. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said troops would proceed “very carefully,” while presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said Kyiv saw “no signs” of Russian departure, and warned that Moscow’s forces plan “to turn Kherson into a ‘city of death....

ABC News recently collected data from local police departments on millions of traffic stops over the past few years in several major U.S. cities. The data collected from Minneapolis, the city George Floyd died in after being held down by several police officers, shows that Black drivers are much more likely to be stopped than white drivers. Newsweek reached out to the Minneapolis Police Department for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication....

On Sunday in Baltimore, the Panthers suffered through all three. The final score was Ravens 38, Panthers 10. The other score was Smith two touchdowns, the Panthers one. Finally, it was Smith seven catches, 139 yards and one highlight that will be replayed endlessly — and the Panthers’ wide receivers combined, not much more, certainly not when the game was in doubt. Between the 61-yard score off the hand of teammate Owen Daniels, and the 21-yard touchdown grab in the back of the end zone with a defender essentially tackling him, after quarterback Joe Flacco had bobbled the snap, Smith spent the entire day in M&T Bank Stadium reminding his old team what it was missing....

Due to its inherently frightening nature, Reddit users have begun sharing what they feel the scariest thing about space really is. Users shared their fears in a thread on r/AskReddit on Wednesday. While some answers were jokes (a Blur CD on Mars), many Redditors used the forum to voice some existential fears about what lies outside the observable universe, the future of Earth and our Solar System, and catastrophic disasters that could hypothetically affect us....

That’s where the former Oklahoma running back landed on Friday night: with the Bengals at 16th in the second round, at No. 48 overall. Speaking in strictly football terms, he was seen as a sure thing in the top half of the first round. MORE: NFL Round 2 Draft Board Mixon has not been seen strictly in football terms, though, since word got out about the video of him punching Amelia Molitor during his freshman year in Norman in 2014 — and since the video itself got out between the end of the regular season and his final bowl game last season....

People with inattentive ADHD (previously called attention deficit disorder, or ADD) tend not to show as many “hyperactive” symptoms, but rather have difficulties with paying attention to details, organization, and finishing tasks. This article will review the characteristics of inattentive ADHD, as well as how the condition is diagnosed and treated. What Is Inattentive ADHD? ADHD is a disorder that is neurodevelopmental, which refers to the nervous system as it develops across the lifespan....

Mane has been ruled out for six weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in Senegal’s 2018 World Cup qualifying game against Cape Verde. Ince insisted that the Senegalese forward plays a huge role in Jurgen Klopp’s plan and ‘he is a much bigger loss than Philippe Coutinho would be’. “Sadio Mane being out for six weeks is bad news for Liverpool - he’s a much bigger loss than Philippe Coutinho would be,” Ince told PaddyPower News....

The poll, which was conducted by Data for Progress, surveyed likely voters in each of the three states from September 23 to September 28 and found three Republican Senators—Martha McSally from Arizona, Joni Ernst from Iowa and Susan Collins from Maine—at risk of losing their seat in the November election. According to the poll, in the Arizona special election, McSally, who was appointed by Governor Doug Ducey following the vacancy left by John McCain’s death, currently trails Democratic candidate Mark Kelly by nine points....

“The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it’s power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of state and public order,” India’s government said in a press release....
