And yet, the hostility of Republican politicians to the migrants seems to be growing by the day, as they use the crisis to attack President Biden. And it’s having an impact on their voters: 77 percent of Republicans now say they want more fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, and 56 percent oppose a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, up a shocking 18 points since 2018....

Now that’s a switch. Tired of following in the footsteps of indifferent husbands, Japanese wives are demanding lives of their own. The postwar boom has given women the jobs and the confidence to go it alone, even if they’re still under social pressure to get married and have kids. The result is a boom in long-distance marriages, often insisted upon by the woman of the divided house. In a survey of single women in their 30s last year by the Osaka matchmaking firm OMMG Inc....

Amess’s tragic murder is not only an example of a rising tide of terrorism; it is an important reminder of what we’re really fighting when we’re fighting terrorism. Contrary to what many in the West continue to believe, terrorism is not about a knife or bomb in the hands of a Muslim. It’s about a specific ideology that’s infected the minds of those vulnerable to it. As a U.K. prosecutor put it in regards to Amess’s alleged killer, “We will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations....

The DR Congo international suffered the injury which has kept him out for the last 11 months in the Toffees 1-1 draw against Manchester United on December 4, 2016, but the player recently shared a video of himself doing ball tricks on social media. However, although a definite return date has not been set for the former Crystal Palace winger’s return, he has set his sights on returning a better and well-rounded player in order to help the Goodison Park outfit - who currently sit 18th on the English Premier log - climb up the table....

Eder Martins gave the hosts a two-minute lead but former Nerazzuri forward Rodrigo Palacio drew Roberto Donadoni’s men levelled in the 24th minute. After the restart, Yann Karamoh netted the decisive goal that gave Luciano Spalleti’s men maximum points in the 63rd minute.

Man Utd will keep Ibra for second year Ibrahimovic was one of four high-profile new arrivals at Old Trafford this summer, joining on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. On Wednesday, Jose Mourinho confirmed that United plan to trigger the option of a one-year extension in Ibrahimovic’s contract, keeping him at the club for the 2017-18 season. The former Sweden international does not regret his decision, however, to spend a fourth year at PSG before making the switch to the Premier League....

Lewandowski’s agent said last month that the Poland international “needs a change and a new challenge in his career”, possibly paving the way for a move to Real Madrid. The European champions have been credited with an interest in the Bundesliga’s runaway top scorer, though Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has denied claims the clubs have discussed him in recent meetings. The possibility of Lewandowski leaving the Bavarian outfit has raised some concerns over who should replace him, but the solution is a simple one for ex-Bayern and Italy forward Toni....

Yes, President Joe Biden campaigned promising to put a Black woman on the Supreme Court. No, he shouldn’t have. The problem is not nominating a Black woman to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. There are plenty of qualified legal scholars who are Black and female. The problem is making a big announcement that only Black women need apply. One can argue that Republicans play that game, too. Right-wing mutterings about white superiority are an appeal to identity—a rather ugly one, given this country’s painful racial history....
