Cheney saved his best barbs not for Saddam Hussein but for John Kerry, portraying the Democratic presidential contender as a weak and unsteady leader who would put the country’s security at risk. “He speaks as if only those who openly oppose America’s objectives have a chance of earning his respect,” Cheney said, an allusion to Kerry’s comment that foreign leaders have told him they want to see President Bush George W....
Knowing the answer is no, Bush sounded alternately resolute and sorrowful about what lies ahead. He recognizes that lives are at stake on both sides of the conflict, yet he grew defiant when asked if he would back away from calling a vote in the Security Council if he failed to muster the necessary support. “No matter what the whip count is, we’re going for the vote,” he said. “You bet....
The suit was filed in the Federal District Court in the District of Columbia, and alleges that Trump and others conspired to use violence to prevent a peaceful transition of power on January 6. The suit argues the defendants violated Enforcement Act of 1871, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act. This statute protects against violent conspiracies that “prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office, trust, or place of confidence under the United States....
U.S. District Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Boyd Allen Camper to two months in prison. Camper had previously pleaded guilty in September to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the U.S. Capitol. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop a number of other charges against Camper. These included knowingly entering a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct at the U....
Jake Angeli, 33, of Arizona, is scheduled to appear in court Friday after being charged with being part of the mob who attacked the Capitol on January 6. Angeli, real name Jacob Anthony Chansley, was one of the most prominent people seen inside Congress during the insurrection due to his striking fur hat, horns and face paint. According to prosecutors Michael Bailey and Kristen Brook, Angeli needs to be detained pending trial because he has become a “symbol” of the deadly attack and admitted he intends to return to Washington D....
The legendary Bela Guttmann once described management as akin to a lion-tamer’s act, and it is this element of sudden, grievous risk that another visionary, the great Marcelo Bielsa, seeks to avoid when maintaining an emotional detachment from his players. All the better to make judgements; humans are, by nature, whimsical and volatile. It is, of course, not an approach suited to everyone. All humans are volatile, but some are more volatile than others....
To answer that question, I set out on a virtual journey to talk to those who might have answers. I spoke with the leaders of four of the largest and most important Israeli venture funds, the CEO of LeumiTech (a bank within Bank Leumi dedicated to the tech industry), one of the most influential start-up advisors in the country, and the head of the Intel MentorProgram. These experts agreed on many things and disagreed on others, but before I share what each had to say, a few general impressions from these conversations....
If you are in a relationship or are intimate with another person, you may be worried about being exposed to gluten during moments of intimacy. In some cases, it makes sense to worry. Kissing someone who recently ate a gluten-containing meal can pass gluten along to you. But is semen gluten-free? The fact is, it’s unlikely that semen contains any gluten. What the Science Says Gluten is a large protein molecule that is unable to pass through your skin and digestive system....
Some of these seeds are commonly used in cooking as substitutes for tree nuts and peanuts by people following a nut-free diet. Not only do they provide nutritional value, but the seeds are also similar in taste. These seeds come from plant families that are not closely related to nut-producing trees. That means they may not have the same allergenic proteins that tree nuts have. However, seed allergies can happen....
What Is Prostate Cancer? Prostate cancer develops in the prostate—a small gland that makes seminal fluid. It is the second most common type of cancer in men. Prostate cancer usually grows over time and in the beginning stays within the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. While some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly....
To say the least, A Pirate’s Life was in high demand upon release. Both Sea of Thieves and Pirates of the Caribbean share the same primary inspirations, not to mention a wacky sense of humor. Even before that, Sea of Thieves was known as a great alternative to the multiplayer shooters and battle-royale games that have recently held dominance. A lot of those games require some form of online connection, and with the influx of interesting updates and its long-running time, some gamers are wondering if Sea of Thieves can be played offline....
Does Lemon Juice Clear Acne? Lemon juice has traditionally been used as an acne treatment in herbal-based medicine. And plenty of beauty blogs, magazines, and nature-inspired DIY skincare recipes today continue to extol the benefits of lemon juice for acne and acne scars. However, there is no evidence that supports the idea that lemon juice clears pimples or scarring. Astringent and Antibacterial Lemon juice does have qualities that make it seem to be a good skincare treatment....
Sinclair scored twice and Canada went on to secure a spot in next year’s World Cup in France with a 7-0 victory over Panama on Sunday in the semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament. Sinclair has 177th international goals. She ranks second on the career list — among both men and women — behind former U.S. forward Abby Wambach’s record of 184 goals. After her header in the 44th minute gave Canada its opening goal, Sinclair pumped her fist in celebration....
However, the defending champion B Sai Praneeth has given this event a miss after the hectic last couple of months where he won the Singapore Open and Thailand Open. Prannoy is seeded second and takes on Mexico’s World No. 165 Job Castillo in his opener. His path looks relatively smooth and there is a chance of an all-Indian final with Kashyap being in the other half. Kashyap, in fact, is not the only Indian in the crowded top half which also features Lakhanee Sarang, Harsheel Dani and Guatemala Futures winner Karan Rajan....
The self-styled “Freedom Convoy” began as a protest against Trudeau’s requirement for truckers to quarantine if they are unvaccinated and cross the border with the U.S. But as the protests have grown, they have also been rallying against wider COVID-19 restrictions, such as lockdowns and having to wear masks. Commenting on the protests, Hannity said on Fox News on Monday: “The truckers have been peaceful. If this turns into something else because he’s sending people in there directly to confront them, I can’t guarantee at that point that people won’t defend themselves....
Manny Ranga, 38, and his wife Violeta Perez, 37, have quickly cashed in on fears caused by the virus by buying up stocks of wipes from local Costco outlets in Vancouver, Canada and selling them for more than four times the amount online, according to a Thursday article in The Toronto Star. “It’s a big opportunity with all these products,” Ranga told paper. “I’ve got to pay the bills. With a regular job, I won’t be making this money… I know it won’t last forever....
Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin described the injury as “minor” in a press release. “It was a chronic, minor injury that did not stop him from playing this past season,” Bergevin said. “Jesperi will remain in Montreal for the coming weeks to complete his rehabilitation program with our team’s medical staff. We have been told by our medical group that there should be no delay in starting his offseason training....
They made a bit of a shock move in the process, selecting Slovakian winger Juraj Slafkovsky over. The decision to take Slafkovsky over Shane Wright, a player tipped for the No. 1 selection for much of the past few seasons, will stick out for years to come. However, with a 6'3, 218-pound frame, Slafkovsky certainly has the size and strength to make an impact at NHL level soon. The 18-year old scored five goals and five assists in 31 games playing against grown men in Liiga, Finland’s top professional league....
