But, they add, the anger is still very much there. According to several Trump allies who spoke to Newsweek on background, the former president has spent much of his time at Mar-a-lago plotting what to do—and what not to do— between now and the mid term elections in 2022. They say he has not decided whether to run again in 2024, and won’t anytime soon, because his presence freezes the Presidential race for the GOP....
Taylor penned a 2018 op-ed in the New York Times under the Anonymous pseudonym in which he said there was a resistance movement against Trump within the White House. Taylor was also the author of the 2019 book A Warning which purported to describe the inner workings of Trump’s administration. In his author bio, Taylor described himself as an “unidentified senior official” in the White House. Trump lashed out at Taylor during the rally, calling him a “sleazebag who’s never worked in the White House....
However, Trump had allegedly warned Pence even before the events that took place on January 6, 2021 that he’d face political—and personal—repercussions if he defied calls to not certify President Joe Biden’s victory. Representatives Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, and Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, both praised Pence during Thursday’s hearing for not giving in to Trump’s alleged demands. The committee also heard accounts of Trump reportedly trying to coerce Pence, including reports of a heated phone call Trump allegedly made to the former vice president early on January 6....
Chuck Swirsky was in the building for both of those games — first as a television announcer for the Raptors, and most recently doing radio for the Bulls. Swirsky, the ultimate pro, tried not to get wrapped up in the historical significance of both moments while calling those games. “I have a responsibility as a broadcaster to bring the integrity of the game to the listener. That’s my goal, number one....
Members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists unveiled this year’s deliberation on the symbolic Doomsday Clock at a virtual event Wednesday. The clock was set to 100 seconds, unchanged from the 2020 finding, which marked the latest the time has ever been pushed since the clock was devised in 1947. The Bulletinwas established two years earlier by famed physicist Albert Einstein in response to the first-ever atomic bombings launched by the U....
The time on the clock is meant to represent whether the events of the past year pushed the world closer to or farther away from destruction. The closer to midnight the clock is set shows the danger humanity supposedly faces. Dr. Rachel Bronson, President and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, opened the webinar announcing the Doomsday Clock’s measurement. She said the nonprofit organization has been calculating the Doomsday Clock for 75 years to represent “the judgment of leading science and security experts about the threat to human existence with a focus on manmade threats, nuclear risk, climate change, and new disruptive technologies....
A snap of the bathroom door was shared to Reddit’s Mildly Infuriating forum by Jwstoner86, aka Jason, who appeared to be out for a drink at The Garret West, in Bleecker Street. After popping to use the facilities, they appeared to face a puzzle to exit, with the door covered in shiny golden handles. He uploaded a snap to the site on Sunday, saying: “This is the inside of the bathroom door at a bar in NYC....
Dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) is another potential complication, occurring in about 4 percent of patients on dopaminergic therapy. Symptoms The most common symptom of dopamine dysregulation is compulsive craving of Parkinson’s medication like carbidopa/levodopa. Even if no symptoms are present (like tremor or rigidity), the patient may strongly feel that they need the medication. Others may try to simulate their Parkinsonian symptoms or bribe friends or family members in order to obtain the desired medication — this is how strong the craving is....
Dortmund lost the first leg 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park, a match that was rescheduled following an attack on the team’s bus, and their task was made even harder by a slow start that saw them concede twice in the opening 17 minutes in Wednesday’s return fixture. Kylian Mbappe, Dortmund’s tormentor in chief with a double last week, pounced on Roman Burki’s error, before Radamel Falcao headed home his 45th goal in 50 European appearances at Stade Louis II....
Oblak could be Courtois’ clone at Chelsea The tie between the Bundesliga side and their third-tier opposition was set to take place at Lotte’s Frimo Stadion on Tuesday, but heavy snowfall led to unplayable conditions. It will now be held in 11 days, but with the game taking place in Onsabruck due to the state of the pitch in Lotte. Because the new date clashes with some Champions League last-16 ties, UEFA had to approve the rescheduling....
Last month Cook Express became a pioneer in a way Williams never imagined, as the first e-commerce company to declare bankruptcy in San Jose, Calif., district court this year. The bankruptcy filing lists more than $2 million in debts, including claims by food suppliers, business partners and, fittingly–considering the hype and press the Net boom has generated–a whopping $78,000 bill from its public-relations company. The filing, says Williams, came after four futile months of courting 15 separate Silicon Valley venture-capital firms....
The incident began when police were called to the Eleanor Roosevelt Apartments in Aliquippa, a city located in Beaver County northwest of Pittsburgh. Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier said during an interview with WPXI-TV authorities were called after four people were reportedly spotted with guns at the apartment complex. After police arrived, three of the individuals fled police in a vehicle while the fourth individual fled on foot, Lozier said....
Skip a trip to neighboring Fiji, too. Two weeks ago, businessman George Speight and rebel followers took Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry captive, demanding more power for indigenous Fijians. (Chaudhry is an ethnic Indian.) Tribal chiefs tried to mediate, but much damage is already done in both island states: hundreds of foreigners were doing their best to get out of paradise.
The Brazil international completed a one-year loan move from Bayern Munich on Wednesday, with Juventus confirming the switch with a video. Juventus sign Douglas Costa Costa may then sign permanently for the Bianconeri should they exercise a buying option worth €40 million by the end of June 2018. And the mystery of which number the winger would sport at his new club was ended with a brief sighting of his shirt in the presentation video....
AS THE LABOR DEPARTMENT REPORT SHOWS, THE hysteria over downsizing – whipped up in part by Labor Secretary Robert Reich and a massive series in The New York Times–is just that. Companies are resorting more often to layoffs, but there never was a time of absolute job security, and down-sizing doesn’t destroy most stable jobs. I have written about all this before, but now I want to extend the discussion and suggest that, in some respects, down-sizing may improve the economy....
According to its Facebook page, the “Free Tom Brady” rally, which was scheduled to take place at Patriot Place Parking Lot 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, was a “peaceful rally to protest the unjust football arrest of half god, half man Tom Brady.” And rally they did with their No. 12 jerseys and signs. As of Sunday, 607 fans had confirmed their attendance. Organizers of the event told WPRI-TV that Patriots owner Robert Kraft signed off on the event and additionally paid for security....
